. uccesstal Farming.


An old farmer said toa The iarnn-
ers do not do as well as they know.
They know much better what good
farming is Than their practice shows.
They know that wheat ground should
be broken as soon as harvest Is over,
vet IL is DELAYED. They know that all
lands not naturally well drained would
be greatly improved bv understanding,
but they neglect it. They know that
lard cannot be kept in good heart and
nrodue,ive condition without the use
of fertilizers. yet the practice OF close
grooming and the neglect Of tho manure
heap prevails. White the manure COM
post is the farmers bank of wealth. II
is let go TO waste. The blowing under
of green crops is known to add wonder
fully to the fertility of the soil, but few
formers practice il. II is known that
it is much cheaper to raise sixty or
eighty bushels of corn on one acre OF
/ land than on two: yet this plan Is neg
| fectcd and the land is so worn by ex-
hausting crops. that il is often hard 10
produce thirty bushels per acre. They
know that stock that natures early is
much more profitable than that which
is OF slow growth, vet they stick TO the
old grades that require nuch-;ime and
feed to prepare for market. instead CT
procuring more profitable kinds. They
know that wagons, plows, harrows,
reapers. etc, will last much longer. and
can bemor easily kept in order when
carefully housed, when not in use, and
vet they stand out exposed to the sun
or rain large portion OF the gear.
They know that stock carefully housed
through IKE winter requires less food
and keep IN better health and flesh
than when left out in the storm aud
cold unprotected, and yet they fail TO
provide comfortable barns for their
protection. BY neglecting these little
| but important matters the profits OF
farming are wasted, and more than
wasted, and yet the cry comes up that
farming don't pay. There is no BUSH
ness so managed would pay. If the
banker who handles his millions every
year should neglect TO look closely after
the details of his business, leaving as
many lcaky places as are found OH most
farms in the country, he would be a
bankrupt in five years. The manufac-
turer looks constantly TO every depart
ment of his business, working only
the most profitable stock, doing his
work in the best possible manner, pro-
tecting every department from unnec-
essary exposure and danger, and seek
ing the best market at the most favor
able times, to dispose of his wares, and
he is successful. Only those who do
the right thing at the right time, in the
best possible manner, can hope to at
tain any great success.-Mdiaaa Far

Eggs VS. Meat.
7llel'.

The following is from the Poultry
RecieU.
Would it not be wise to substitute
more eggs for meat in our daily diet
About one third the white of an egg is
solid nutriment This is more than
can be said OF meat. There are no
bones or tough pieces that have to be
laid aside. a good egg is made up OF
ten parts shell, sixty parts white and
thirty parts yclk. The white Of an
egg contains eighty-siX per cent. water
the yelk fifty-two per cent. The aver
age weight of an an egg is two ounces.
Practically an egg is animal food, and
vet there is none of the disagreeabIe
work of the butcher necessary to oh.
tam it. The vegetarians of England
use eggs freely, and many of these
men are eighty and ninety years old
and have been remarkably free from
illness. Eggs are best when cooked
four INMATES. This takes away the
animal taste that is offensive TO some,
but does not So harden the white or
yelk as to make them hard to digest.
An egg if cooked very hard is difficult
of digestion, except by those with
stout stomachs such eggs slIould be
eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast is food
for king, if kings deserve any better
food than anybody else, which is
doubtful. Fried eggs are less whole
SEINE than boiled ones. An egg drop
ped into hot water is not only clean
aud handsome, but a delicious morscl.
Most people spoil the taste of their
eggs by adding pepper aud Salt. y
little sweet butter is the best dressing.
Eggs contain much PHOSPHORUS,
which is supposed to be good for those
who use their brains much

Plant Walnut Trees by Themselves


see in Your issue of March 9Th. {
communication from L. NJ. Rees. OF
Morgan county, on tree planting. lie
recommends planting white and black
walnnis mixed with soft maple. Now
my experience aud observation have
taught me 10 plant TIE walnuts by
themselves. Some ten or twelve wears
ago planted row of white walnuts
few feet from newly set grove OF
soft naples, and withia the past five
years the NAPLES have all died op, for
a space of twenty TO thirty feet of the
walnuts. and have noticed the same
diving out where walnuts were planted
adjacent to NAPLES, in quite a num-
her OF instances in this vicinity. Ny
experience of over thirty wears in

kind. The abundant grasses, pure wa
tiers and warm climate render this per-
ton of Kansas the finest stock country
probably in the known world. The
corn crop is safe before the rains cease.
and after that time the grass cures
upon the ground and makes a natural
hav. retair ing much OF its nutritious
qualities. which serves as a perennial
pasture for stock. The fall and winter
seasons. which east of the Missouri
are marked by the prevalence Of cold
rains aud chilling storms so trying to
stock. here are marked by dry and
bracing weather. Occasional storms,
in which light, dry snow is drifted and
wreathcd apoR the surface, occur. dur
ing which the farmer viii feel called
upon TO shelter and feed his stock.
Thus this country is specially adapted
for sheep and stock-raising in conf unc-
ton with grain growing, and must IN
doubtediy soon become great source
of supply Of beef and mutton TO the
eastern markets. Thousands of tons
of hav can he had for the cutting at a
cost of IS TO SIS cents per ton- which
