,ad SELL WHEN You CAN GErA GooD Price.
This should be theifarmer's, rule 10 hold
produce in hope Of getting extrayagant prices
may occasionally succeed, but it generally
fails. Farmers, By Holding back their pro
d1ucc, may help SPECTATORS to1"form a cor
ner,'h but the SPECTATORS never divide .the
profits. If you Gan get fair price, sell as
soon as you are ready. But if an article
that YOU can hold does not bring a fair
prriicteYY-if.it isbelow the cost of production
do not dispose of it, twill certainly rise.
We know that. there are. few things that
make farmer ''feel 50 bad as to find that
if he had held his produce a, few weeks he
could have got much higher price. We
know farmers who sold their barley last fall
at 81 so, and their, wheat at So. 25;'. while
some of their neighbors held both, and sold
the barley for $40, and have their wheat
still, on hand Now it is not pleasant to
think that you could have got 60 cents a
busheImore for the barley but then there is
some consolation in thinking that you got 80
| cents a bushel more for the wheat than. you
could get now We once crossed the At
iantie Viii Well-known captain left Liver
pool on the same day. When swe took in
pilot, the first question the captain asked
was :,as"Any news :, of, the New. World
s.She reached New York three days ago"
We all s'fe1t as 'bad'' at being beaten as the
farmer who sold his barley at ST. so. s But
our captain remarked SIS Hefmusta have ta-
ken the southern course. n :He has hit il for
once, But it's sg5ona, negertheless. So
we say to the farmers.who got 81: 70 for his
Farley He hit it for once. But the prin-
ciple is wrong g. Better to sell when you are
offered a fair ipriee,gs This same farmer had
some capital hogs. They were very fat, and
he was offered, 49, cents for them. He
| Kept them three weeks longer and then sold

-AcRE.7-An, acre Of land contains 43 400
square feet, 4, $40 square yards, OF 100
sduare@ rods By those Who have used
guarlo, it is said that 800 poundsiissnf6 cient
to manure an acre 1921 lbs. would givei1&
ounces ayoirdupois to the square yard. One
cubic yard would give 9. t ,ridfl oyer one cubic
inch to the square foot. "A cubic yard of
highly concentrated manure like night soil,
would, if evenly and properly spread, tma-
nure an acre very well. "a cubic yard, of
long manure weighs abouti1 400 lbs ia
cubic foot not far from so lbs. A cord
contains 1913 cubic feet;i144 cord would give
about CUBIC foot to the'square fod.i fhq-
uid manure be usedoit would take 1870 bbls,
to give one gill to a square foot upon an
acre, which wonld be equal to about 80
pipes or large hogsheads.1 It.wouldbe quite
useful if farmers would be little morelspe-
eifc as to the manure applied. 81 ai7es

70 How TO Boil MEAT. When i.meat is
placed in boiling water, the effect is to,zco-
agulate or harden the albumen upon the sur
face Immediately This coating resembles
the white of hard boiled egg, and serves to
protect the albumep and juices of the inte-
rior from like coagulating process. The
conduction of heat to the interior is imped-
ed, and the cooked meat is retained In deli
cious, juicy condition5oqCoM water perne-,
ates the !fbers sof the meat, and as it be-,
comes. hot, heat is conducted through the
pores, and the whole mass. becomes hard
from the coagulation Of the albumen Tt is
therefore better to immense meat to beicoolc-
ed in hot water at onces--vslaa1aat Of Chem
