What tho Farmer Must Know

The farmer, like the business man,
must know what he is doing; he
must have some pretty decided
ideas of what he is to accomplish
in fact he must calculate it before
hand.
He must know his soil-that OF
each lot; not only the top, but the
subsoil.
He must also know what grain
and grass are adapted to each.
He must know when is the best
time to work them, whether they
need summer following.
He must know the condition in
which the ground must be when
plowed, so that it be not too wet,nol
too dry.
He must know that some grain
requires earlier sowing than others.
and what these grains are.
He must know that he must have
machinery to help him, as well as
muscle.
He must know about stock and
manures, and the cultivation of trees
and small fruits, and many other
things; in word, he must know
what experienced, observing farm
ers know to be sure of success. Their
he will not guess-will not run sucl
risks.-Er.

How to Say Whoa.

A correspondent of the /oma
Homestead puts it in this way:
In breaking 4 colt it is necessary
to teach him to stop at the word
"whoa." Not only should one and
the same word be used, but one and
the same tone. The colt that has
been broken to stop at the firm, low
tone of command, is not likely to
stop at the word uttered in high key
When a man halloes "Who-oo-a''
in wild tone of alright that would
make the hair raise on the head of
a marble statue, and that sends the
women of the neighborhood to their
doors shrieking "What's the mat
ter" a colt is very apt to feel nervous.
When q man snarls "Whoa-sir-r-
r-sir," through his teeth, as though
he would say, "stand still you brute
or I'll tear your heart OUT" the cry
counteracts, not only to the effect of
early training, but of those powerful
opiates, old age and starvation, and
even the poorest old crowbait is
ready to repeat the runaway scrapes
of his early youth.
The imploring tone, "Who-oh,
who-oh," ending with a note Of de-
spair, "Do stand still. I know you
won't. Oh, l shall be killedn'
might as well be addressed to a
railroad corporation as horse.
The loving tone, "Who-ee, who-ee
sweet little bonny horsee; do-ee
stand still; that's a darling" is
wasted unless one has oats, salt, OF
sugar, which are never at hand in a
pinch, when wanted.
The shrill, feminine cry, "whaw,
whaw," like the squawk of a hen
caught by the leg, invaribly scream
ed by the inexperienced female,
when a driving rein or hold-back
breaks, is alarming in the extreme
to high-tempered animal.
A tone of fear or rage imparts
fear to the horse. TO govern one
well, man must have mastery over
himself. No matter what the emer
gency, nor how much there is to cx
cite fear and anger, the tone EN-
ploycd must be that of one fully
master Of the situation, not only free
from passion himself, but at liberty
to soothe the fears of his trembling
dependent The tone, in short
must be that of a king, firm as Of
one that does not contemplate disc
bedience-gentle, but conveying 8
sense Of absolute power.

2. For the improvement of breed

2. For the Improvement of breed
ers also. Many of us are mere nov
ices; dabbling in poultry for pleas
ure, with no special, and less gener-
al knowledge of their value, charac-
teristics and demands.
Here as elsewhere, knowledge Is
valuable and skill will pay. The ig-
norant and inattentiye can no more
hope to succeed in this than in any
other branch of business. Thou.
sands of dollars are annually lost to
breeders through ignorance.
If we would make the most of our
capital we should organize for mu-
tual improvement.
3. For the protection of the pub
lie, and of reliable breeders, we
need an organization. Here, as
elsewhere, dishonest men are found
and the public, deceived by spur
ious advertisements, are being con-
stantly swindled by these lrrespon-
sible men. Reliable breeders should
protect themselves, and they should
stand as a protecting wall between
a confiding public and conscience
less dealers.
4. For the sake of uniformity in
prices, we need an organization.
Thus we may be a help and pro-
lection each to the other.
5. For the development of the
poultry sentiment we need organic
alton. There is prodiglous
amount of ignorance in city and
country respecting this poultry in
terest. We must develop, cultivate
and direct this sentiment.
We must show it's value for pleas
ure and profit; showing that it will
be better for the girls than croquet,
and better for the boys than bill
lards. Thus we can find market
for our eggs and poultry, and con-
tribute to the health and happiness
of hundreds"

Our Poultry.

at the recent Iowa Poultry Convention
"This is new movement in Iowa
though common enough in other
States. Trades, unions, and coop
erative societies are the order OF the
day. Nearly all branches of indus
try have organizations, and this not
for monopoly, but for protection,
profit, and pleasure. And | as
sumo that Poultry-breeders should
organize also. To show you that
this branch of rural economy is un-
der-estimated by all of us, let me
present you with some ofthe statis-
tics.
France consumes and exports an
nually 38,925,ooo eggs; while En-
gland in single year imports not
less than lO0,ooO,OOO. The Poul-
try trade as shown in only two of
the London markets, gives the fol-
lowing enormous figures as a sale
of single year: There were sold,
eggs, 75,00o,OOO; fowls, 100000;
turkeys, 100000; ducks, 100000;
geese, 100, 900, and pigeons, 100000
900. France and England each
have, no less than $75, 100000 in
vested in poultry.
Our general statistics are sadly
deficient respecting this branch OF
trade; hence I must draw general
conclusions from isolated cases
The census of 1910 fixes the value
of poultry, in the United States, al
$13, 100000. And this SO years
ago. New York spends annually
not less than 100000 for the sin
lyle item of eggs to eat! while it costs
Boston 81, 100000. The money val
ne ofpoultry in the United States
to-day cannot be dollar less thar
500, 100000.
This believe to be far beloao the
real value. Now with these stats
tics so imperfectly compiled and
collected can any one doubt the i'm
portance of this branch Of nationa
wealth? In the light of these fig
ures, you will more than ever fee
like effecting an organization. But
there are many other considerations
that prompt us to organize.
/. For the improvement Of stock
To learn the value Of their respec
tive breeds, for various economic
purposes-ruling ont the bad, and
retaining only the best. And ther
to develop approved varieties to the
highest point Of susceptibility.

TIE LARGEST WHEAT FIELD IN
THE WoRLD.--A correspondent OF
that most excellent and able Agri-
cultural paper, the Pacific Rural
Press, writing from MERGED county
under the above heading says:
"From here to Antioch, it is about
100 miles, by ten wide; nearly every
acre of which is sown to wheat or
barley, and as there are no fences
to distinguish lines, it seems to be
one continuous grain field for that
distance. When this vast plain
can be irrigated, and roads and by
ways planted to trees, it will make
one Of the most beautiful places on
the Continent"

From the New York Sun.

| From the New York Sun.
A company has been organized
in this city with capital Of $780,.
900 for the manufacture of butter
1t is claimed that the butter is gen.
uine: the means Of producing it be.
ing alone artificial; in other words,
the discoycrer afiirms that the ar.
ticle is not merely butyrous, but in
every respect the complete and per.
feet thing, as agreeable, nutritious
and useable as the best of Orange
county butter. A gentleman of rec
ognized ability as chemist is the
fortunate introducer of this new
wonder. Several persons of wealth
have bought stock, and in a week OF
two the manufacture will be con.
Quoted on very large scale. Al
present the demand for the article
is so great that it is beyond the ca
pacity of tho company to supply it.
The profits are expected to be more
than 100 per cent.
AS this city-made, Orange county
butter is used in many of the most
fashionable hotels and restaurants
both for cooking and for the table,
it may be interesting to the readers
Of the San to learn something Of the
method in which it is made. In the
first place, agents are employed to
visit the slaughter houses and to
buy up all the beef fat, usually
styled suet. This suet is carted to
the butter factory and cleanscd.
Then it is put into ordinary meat
choppers and minced fine. 1t is af-
forwards placed in 4 boiler with as
much water in bulk as itself.
A steam pipe is introduced among
the particles Of suet, and they are
melted. The refuse or membrane
goes to the bottom Of the water,
the oily substance floats and is re-
moved. This latter consists of but
ter-matter, and stearine. A Temporal
ture of eighty degrees melts the for
mer and leaves the latter at the bot
tom. The butter-matter or cream,
is drawn off, then about thirteen
per cent. Of fresh milk is added and
the necessary salt, and the whole is
churned for about ten or fifteen min
utes. The result is Orange county.
butter at about onc-half of the usual
cost.
The stearine is sold at twelve
cents a pound to the candlemaker
and the refuse at seven cents pound
to the manufacturer Of food for cat
tie.
All leading steamship lines be-
tween here and Europe are to be
supplied this summer with the new
ly invented butter. In taste and APP
pearance it is precisely similar to
the finest country butter, made from
the milk Of live COWS. Several of
the leading men in the butter trade
have purchased stock, as have also
many of the presidents ofthe steam
ship lines, and the proprietors of
the leading city hotels. Professor
Ogden Doremus has testified to the
success of the method of butter man
ufacture and porphesics great pros
perity for the corporation. Profess
sor Pariff, the discoverer, expects
that the new product will drive live
cow butter out of the market alto
gether. The few unscientific out
sidcrs who are acquainted with the
facts now first made public regard
The whole thing with amazement.
1t seems extremely odd to them that
the same carcass which furnishes
fresh steak for breakfast should
supply the Orange county butter
which they spread upon their accom-
panying hot rolls.
