How to Fatten Cattle.

The price Of cattle fattened for
market depends on the symmetry of
the animal, as well Us the fat "style,"
as shippers term it. Good blood is
important, but not absolutely neces-
sary, to make what is termed Il good
seller. In order to fatten steer to
bring the highest market price, he
must be kept in growing condition
from a calf, and in no case allowed
to go hungry. 1t is the starving the
first and second winters which willis
and shrivels up a steer, that causes
him to be sold at q reduced price.
No amount of feeding will make him
a first-class seller, no difference what
his color or blood. An animal well
fed, of any blood, from calf until
the spring he is three years old, will
be smooth, with bones well covered,
and will sell at a profit; while a half
starved animal becomes crooked in
the back, bones projecting, and shriv
eled up, takes the best part Of the
summer to get in condition to live,
and will not be in condition for mark
ct until he is four years old, and then
will bring a price which is unsatis-
factory to the producer and to every
one that handles him. This is no
theory, but a fact deduced from close
observation, as have tested the plan
for several years. 1t will and does
pay to feed corn to calves and to
yearlings. They start out on grass in
the spring strong and vigorous. You
are then able to market your cattle
the spring they are three years old,
weighing 1,40o pounds, which is
heavy enough to bring the first price.
The best steer sold in 1874 was n
common native. He had all he could
eat from calf, and was never hun
CRY. He was a handsome animal,
and was worth more per pound than
any | shipped in 1872. He weighed
in Chicago 1850 pounds, aged three
years. | now have a steer calf, l
months old, from a very ordinary
COW. The calf now weighs $50
pounds. think it will weigh, at
three years, 800 pounds.-Drocers'

Suffolk Hogs.

The tendency appears to be to-
wards the Poland China as the hog
for the farmer, as combining many
good qualities; still many of the best
breeders favor other breeds. Proba-
bly, the largest breeder Of Sutfolks in
the West is John Wentworth, of Chi
cago, at his Summit farm near the
city. In this farm he has four thous-
and acres, and being man ofwealth
he takes pleasure in experimenting
on the various kinds of stock hogs,
cattle and horses, and ascertainine,
as far as one mans testimony may
go, which has the preference in profit
to the owners. We give his conclu-
sions mot ours), promising that at
the time they were made he had
three hundred Suffolks and but few
others. "Atter trying carefully all
other kinds,'' he says, 1--WE give the
preference to the Sufolks, and we
think all others will who try them as
long and impartially as we have
They make the most pork with the
least food, and with the least bone.
They are the quietest hogs. Give
them enough to eat, and they will
never leave the premises. They lie
down and remain so until they want
more food. They make the least of
fal of any hogs, and they root about
the least, even when short Of food
For crossing upon other hogs they
have decidedly the preference. Their
cross upon the largest white sows
makes the best of Chester Whites.
In them there is no breeding back to
the original common stock. Their
litters are not part good and part
bad, but they are uniformly good.
They breed even, each pig as good
as another. The Suffolk may be
small compared with mammoth
breeds, but he contains as much that
is eatable as most hogs of double his
weight, and which consumes four
times his food -St0te Register.

A Farmer, and Something Else

"No man can serve two masters"
There is no truer axiom than this
when applied to the business pursuits
of life. No man can pursue profita-
bly, two kinds of business and make
both an equal success, or be success
full with both. If a man has farm,
that is business enough if he has q
love of the pursuit. If he has not a
liking for it, and cannot give his
whole mind and energies to it, he
ought to take some profession OF pur-
suit which suits him better. Lord
Palmerston said: "Our new gardener
does pretty well, and understands the
theory of his department, but he is a
Methodist and goes preaching about
the country every Sunday, and l fear
he thinks too much of his sermons
to be very successful in his garden
ing"
Now this is the case with number
less farmers, as well as with men of
other callings. They get hold of
some hobby and get all absorbed
with it and lose sight entirely of
the main business Of their lives
They neglect great interests for the
sake of some Ii ght, attractive employ
ment, which at best is ephemeral.-
All over the country we find men
who are partly farmers and partly
implement agents, or stock-buying
agents, OF perhaps Bible or other
book agents, and always, when we
find such men, we find that they are
not good farmers, nor are they first
class agents.
The farm is left to hired help, or
the inexperienced oversight of the
boys, and then there are a great ma
ny small leaks and losses, which,
though seemingly insignificant III
themselves, yet reduce the annual
profits largely, and more and II ore
every year.
A man cannot be tip-top farmer
and yet be something else too; it
is out of the question. 1t has been
tried too often, and the result is al
ways the same. The farm runs down,
the returns grow less and less, and
at last mortgage stops every
thing.

AS there is likely to be consider
able wheat used rs horse feed, we
would repeat the experience of some
who have experimental with wheat
for stock. When given to horses
raw and whole it is difficult of diges-
ton, and brings on flatulence, pain
and restlessness, and when heavily
fed with, it causes many diseases of
the stomach and bowels, by the swell
ing of the unbroken wheat. If fed
to horses it should be ground and fed
with cut straw, or cooked and fed in
small quantities.

BAKED BEANs.-Many people do
not understand how to make nice
baked beans. Bake your beans all
day Saturday, and if convenient let
them stay in over night, baking full
twcnty-four hours, and our word for
it, your beans will come out in the
morning smoking with flavor that
will make your mouth water to taste
of them, and your breakfast will be
the very best you ever had. We
sometimes see persons who only have
a moderate liking for baked beans,
who invariably bake them three OF
four hours only, and that is why they
do not like them any better. A day
and night is none too much time tc
bake these esculents, having parboiled
them only a few moments, until the
skin will crack when the air comes tc
them.

SOFTENING HARD WATER-This
is usually done with sal soda, but the
effect is to hurt the clothes that are
washed in the water thus prepared,
and the hands also. 1t is because
there is an excess Of the soda, more
than unites with the acid of the wa
ter which makes it hard. The RENE
dy is easy. Use enough Of the salt
to take up the acid, and no more. In
this way both acid and soda disap-
pear, leaving a neutral salt which is
harmless. The water will be soft
Test certain amount of water, be-
ginning with very little soda, and
adding more if you find you need it.
With our own spring water, which is
hard, lump Of soda the size of a
large pea to a pint of water is about
the right proportion. OF course tie
amount of the salt should be accord
ing to the degree of hardness of the
water.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

'LITTLE and often" is the motto of
the careful and skillful cattle feeder
AS an example, we give the practice
Of one of the most successful of Eng
fish feeders. At $3.50 in the morning
meal mixed with pulped roots and
cut chat, just enough of the roots to
moisten the chaff'; at o'clock, 20 lbs
of sliced roots; at 10 O'Clock, meal
and chatf as before; at noon, oil cake
and chaff; at O'Clock, meal and
chatf rs before; at 4:30 p. m, meal
and chaff; at p. m, hay from four
to five pounds. Water is kept where
it can be taken at all times, and the
animals are kept in boxes loose.
Three or four pounds of meal and
cake is considered enough to begin
with per day, and it is increased as
the cattle need it.

A Grain.Shipping Swind1e.

A species of dishonesty in grain
shipping which ought to be "nipped"
is that known among shippers as
plugging" and which is probably
more extensively practiced than the
people generally are aware of. TO
such an extent has it been carried
that it is safe to say large proper
ton of the cars of grain going into
Chicago from this Western country
are plugged" The modus operandi
is as follows: Cars of wheat are
loaded from twenty to twenty-five
inches deep. Now, suppose car is
plugged from one to two inches deep
with screenings worth from twenty
to twenty-five cents per bushel less
than the wheat above, we have over
81 on the Car, or about two cents per
bushel on the entire load-a greater
margin than the honest dealer can
get in many localities. The track
inspector cannot detect this fraud if
the plug is not more than one or two
inches deep, because the point of his
instrument will not draw from within
that distance of the bottom of the
car, or, if it does, the amount drawn
up is too small to be noticed, and, in
deed, it would be difficult for a man
i'll the car to detect the mixture as it
is unloaded in the elevator. SO that
this practice, persisted in so largely,
works a great disadvantage to the
honest shipper when he is brought
into competition with his dishonest
opponent.
1t Is not uncommon to see q grain
shipper work for hours to clean a car
of wheat for market, and when it is
nicely cleaned spread the same
screenings carefully over the bottom
of the car, and put the clean grain
on top. OF course it is mixed again
when unloaded into the elevator, and
all the labor lost. The grain dealer
is not benefited, because he calcu-
lates that as part Of his profit, and
competition compels him to handle
grain on a reasonable margin. The
farmer is not benefited, because this
adulteration has tendency to reduce
the standard of the grade as it comes
out of the elevator which is, Of
course, the standard by which the
purchaser is guided-while the miller
cannot be benefited in having to
clean the wheat all over again before
it is fit for milling purposes. So that
this practice of plugging is disre-
putable trick that ought to be discon-
tinued, and some plan devised for
its detection.-Ducenport Democrat.

To Prevent Trees Being Gnawed by
Rabbits.

MIR. >. '. Dewey, OF Gran, gives us
the following methods for preventing
rabbits killing young apple trees:
Take narrow strip of tar paper
and coil it about the tree to any de-
sired height, fastening it with strings.
This will not only keep off the r:b-
bits, but is a protection to the tree in
preventing its thawing on the south
side in the winter These strips of
tar paper can be removed in the
spring and laid away for use another
winter.
Another plan is to take a quantity
of soft soap, mixed with a little lime,
to the consistency of paint, to which
is added sufficient flour paste to make
it adhesive. This, when it is APP
piled to the tree, will not only pre-
vent damage by rabbits, but it will
destroy all insects and eggs that
are in the the bark, and when it
thaws in the spring will oozc down
into the roots, with the same benef-
cial results.
Mr.. Dewey is Il practical nursery
man, and has studied the growth of
fruit trees from boyhood. lie has a
theory that the destruction of apple
trees by the winter Of 1912 was not
ceuscd SO much by the severe cold
as by the drought, which, it will be
remembered, was extreme and unusu-
al during the fall and winter. Fruit
trees were frozen that winter, as they
are every winter, to the very heart
but owing to the absence of moisture
at the roots, the tree thawed before
it received sap, and of course would
die.
In view of such a contingency, Mr..
Dewey had adopted u plan which
prevented the killing of his trees by
frost. Assuming the theory that it
the absence of moisture that causes
the tree to die, he plants all trees by
first excavating 4 place sufficiently
large to permit Il quantity Of stone to
be buried beneath. On these stones
he throws about foot of earth,
and then sets his tree. The roots
soon grow down among the stones,
and from them receive moistul c
sufficient to sustain life, even in the
coolest and drycst season. If this
plan has been tested by any other
of our readers, we would be pleased
them to give all the benefit of
their experience Vest Union Ga-
zette.
TAPIOCA CREAM.-Soak three table
spoons of tapioca over night or five
or six hours, in cold water enough to
swell it. Scald quart of milk and
when boiling stir in the tapioca, let
ting it cook three or four minutes.
Add the yolks of three eggs, well
beaten, a teacup of sugar, minus a
few teaspoonfuls which should be re-
served for frosting, and flavor to taste.
Reserve a little Of the milk cold to
put with the eggs, and stir in very
quickly just as it is set off from the
fire. The whites should be beaten
stiff and favored slightly and sweet
ened little, and dumped in spoonfuls
on the top after it has been poured in
a pudding dish. Now set in warm
oven and brown lightly on the top.

The Girl Who Wins.

Whatever may be said of the vanity
of the sex, and the absurd fashions by
which so many women are enslaved, it
is noticeable fact that public opinion
is setting in the direction of plain,
practical common sense, for the woman
of to-day. The time has passed when
women must be pale and delicate to be
considered interesting-when entire
ignorance of all practical knowledge is
evidence that she is refined and high
bred-when she must eschew all infor-
nation upon current political news and
subjects, or be called strong-minded, or
masculine. 1t is no longer a sign of
gentle birth or refinement to be sickly
and ignorant. Those who affect any
thing of the kind are laggard in the
grand, progressive march of the CEN
tury, and they must bestir themselves
or be swept under by the resistless tide
of common ideas, and be considered ut
terly Insignificant. A live writer thus
tersely defines the attractive and win
some girl which the present demands:
'In these days, the active, rosy
faced girl, with brain quick and clear,
warm, light heart, temper quickly
heated at intended insults or injury,
and just as quick to forgive; whose feet
can run as IasG as her tongue ana not
put her out of breath; who is not afraid
of freckles, or to breathe the pure air of
heaven, unrestrained by the drawn cur
tains of close carriage; and, above all,
who can speak her mind and give her
opinion on important topics which in
terest intelligent people, is the true girl
that will make good woman. This is
the girl who wins in these days. Even
fops and dandies, who strongly oppose
woman's rights, like woman who can
talk well, even if she is not handsome.
They weary of the most beautiful crea-
ture, if she is fool. They say "Aw,
y-a-a-s, she is beautiful and no mistake,
but she won't do for me-lacks bwains," !"
for which commodity, it would seem,
she could have little use in her associa-
tion with him. However, to please an
empty-headed fop, woman must know
something"

tering the hall. For a moment the con-
test was dubious, but my sturdy sup
porters carried me safely up to the may
or's room. Having had my clothes rent
asunder, one individual lent me a pair
of pantaloons, another coat, third a
stock, and fourth cap, as a substitute
for my lost hat. After a consultation of
fifteen or twenty minutes, the mayor
and his advisers came to the singular
conclusion that the building would be
endangered by my continuing in it, and
that the preservation of my life depend
ed upon committing me to Jail, ostensi-
bly, as a disturber of the peace. A hack
was got in readiness at the door to re-
ceive me, and, supported by Sheriff Par
ker and Ebenezer Bailey, Esq. (the
mayor leading the way), succeeded in
getting into it without much difficulty,
as L was not readily identified in my
new garb. Now came scene that baf-
fies my power of description. The mob
rushed like a whirlwind upon the frail
vehicle in which | sat, and endeavored
to drag me out of it. Escape seemed
impossible. They clung to the wheels,
dashed open the doors, seized hold of the
horses, and tried to upset the carriage.
They were, however, vigorously re-
pulsed by the police, and the driver,
Justify using his whip upon the horses
and the heads of the rioters, happily
made an opening through the crowd
and drove at tremendous speed through
Leveret street. In a few min
utes was locked up In a cell, safe from
my prosecutors, accompanied by two
delightful associates, a good conscience
and clear mind. In the course of the
evening several friends came to my
grated window to sympathize and re-
joice with me, with whom I held pleas
ant conversation until the hour of re-
tirement, when 1 threw myself upon
my prison bed and slept TRANQUILITY.
In the morning / awoke quite re-
freshed, and after eating an excellent
breakfast, furnished by the kindness OF
my keeper, inscribed upon the walls
of my cell the following lines:
"William Lloyd Garrison was put
into this cell Wednesday, P. NJ, Oct. 81,
1885, to save him from the violence of a
respectable and influential mob, who
sought to destroy him for preaching the
abominable and dangerous doctrine that
all men are born free and equal, and
that all oppression is hateful in the
sight of God. Hail Columbia! Cheers
for the autocrat of Russia and the sultan
of Turkey! Reader, let this inscription
remain till the last slave in this des.
potic land is loosed from his fetters."
These disgraceful scenes transpired in
the enlightened city of Boston less thar
half century ago, and to-day public
sentiment execrates the spirit which
led to such an atrocious outrage; slavery
is abolished throughout the nation, anC
among the names dearest to freedom i,
that of the then hunted and despiseC
abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison
An open lesson is this history; let those
who labor in the cause of great reforms
to-day read and take courage.
