Reputation in Farming.

Success in this world depends very
much up,n reputation. In spite of
all that is said, there is Il great deal
IN IL name, and Il IA good name pays.
When we want to buy al article, we
hunt for one that has II good reput;l-
ton for being good-that is, for one
made by Il manufactures who mas es-
tablished Il character for making
good articles-and when we find it,
pay more for it than we would for II
similar article, which, for anght we
know, may be just as good, but
which was made by somebody we
never heard of. The reason for this
is obvious. We are willing to pay
Tor the ASSURANCE or warranty, which
the trade mark Ola reputable maker
gives us, rather than trust our own
Judgment, or the chance of getting
Il good thing from an unknown
source. This is SO with machinery,
Tools, clothsng and nearly everything
else that we buy, including the pro.
ducts Of the farm. There are farm
ers who have scld butter the past
summer for fifty cents per pound,
contracting it in advance. Others
have very likely sold just as good
butter for thirty -fivc cents, and the
difference has been owing to the fact
that the tor'ncr had II reputation and
the latter has none. When our clli-
zens bought the butter of the first
class, they felt certain that they
would get gllt-edge article. When

would impress on your minds
the great value of pure blood in the
sires you use. do say, whether
you prefer to use 4 Shorthorn or Il
Highland Scott, or one from any
other Of the various breeds, go in for
blood and select what the Americans
term live animal. Throughout the
whole of the different races Of our
domestic animals, we find close-bred
sires invariably the most prepotent.
Now, as to rearing. If our object
is beef, our calves should be dropped
between the first Of November and
the end of February; winter reared
calves always thrive best. We con
slider it most conductive to health of
the mother and her progeny to al
low the calf to remain with its dam,
one, or at the most two days, when it
should be removed and fed on skim
milk from the pail. With the pres
ent high price of butter, the cream
may be taken off, and the fatty mat
ternaturally contained in the milk sub,
stituted by combination of less
concentrated and cheaper materials.
During the first three weeks a mix
ture of SKINNED milk and linsecd
meal or oatmeal porridge may be
used with very satisfactory results.
The food should be given three
times day until the young animal
begins to eat. A mixture Of finely
broken linseed cake, wheat meal,
pulped roots, and small quantity Of
hay chatf are the best to begin with;
the porridge need not be continued
beyond the first eight weeks: if well
cared for, the calf will by this time
be sufficiently advanced to support
itself on other food At twelve weeks
old one pound per day of cake and
corn, with quantity OF hay and
chat and pulpcd roots, will be Il lib
eral allowance. Calves may be kept
the first year at little cost by turning
them out to grass the middle Of May
and allowing them to SHIFT for them
selves.

the other butter was put upon the
market, it had to be sold with the
risk of its not being No. 1; and the
same is true of cheese, milk, cider,
pork. and, in fact, Of all that IS
fought and sold in this city. 1t is
easy, then to see how important it is
for farmer to establish a reputation
to get the name of raising and sell
ing the best, When he has done
this, his produce not only sci reaIi-
ly, but ut almost his own prices.
But a reputation is ga plant of slow
growth" 1t takes not only time,
but q constant vigilent care. To get
reputation for the butter Of a GER
tain farm, for instance, it must not
only produce a fine article, but it
must do it all the time; there must
be no break IN the chain; for repu-
tation, like other things, is only
as strong as its weakest
part, and single poor
article will ncutralize the effect of
fifty good ones. When Il man buys
Il thing upon the reputation of the
maker, he wants to feel that there is
absolute certainty OF his getting 4
good thing. If he can have this he
is willing to pay for it on top Of the
market price, but he will not ply ex-
ira for Il mere probability. We ask
our farmer readers to remember this,
and to build up for themselves Il rep
ntation. When you PIT an article
upon the market, let it be
understood beyond doubt or
question that it is all you recon-
mend. This is not only honesty, but,
rs we have shown money in your
pocket Manchester ". ny Mr.

Protection of Orchards.

Mulching will be found one of the
best projections against the effects of
winter freezing. We always have
advocated keeping the surface of the
ground in fine filth in summer, and
it has this advantage over summer
mulciliny: it does not tend 10 induce
root growth near the surface. Not
that this would be injurious, if the
system of mulching were to be con
tinuous and persistent. 1t is not nee
essary to discuss this system of cult
walton here.
AS Il protection for the winter,
mulch the surface about the trees so
far as the roots extend. If besides
this the earth is built up in Il sharp,
smooth mound about each tree, lust
before hard winter sets in, to be re-
moved again in the spring, so much
the better, since this is of itself one
OF the best projections against the
dcpredations Of verinin.
As a more perfect protection
against lne ShaWlng OF the bark by
rabbits, etc, and until the bark be
comes sufficiently rough, so animals
will not attack the trces-form
shields of tai paper or building pa
per, about the trees, to sufficient
height, beyond which these animals
can't reach. In the summer these
may be removed, to be replaced, in
succeeding seasons. Lath, stakes or
spiints may be used in lieu Of this
when timber is plenty. They may
be bound about the stems of the trees
with Irvine or wire.
Another plan is to smear the
trunks Of the trees with some animal
substance obnoxious to vegetable
feeders, as the llvrrs of hogs, at
siauS"tcrlng time. These, however,
we have not found efficient. The
odor soon passes away, and hunger
forces hcrbivcrouS animals, when the
ground is covered with snow, to eat
substances, when the surface even,
may be obnoxious.

Running In Debt.

1t is the fashion nowadays to run
in debt. a spirit Of speculation
prevails. Men are in haste to get
rich. They embark in enterprises
beyond their means. More money is
required than is at command, and
they mortgage and thereby peril
their property in the hope Of gains.
But the best laid schemes "gang aft
aylee." And the man who habitualIy
runs in debt may awake almost any
morning and find himself homeless.
Ii is true there are some who cannot
save money unless it is to pay debt
They will work hard and be more
economical under the spur of indebt-
edness than any other. To such it
may be we'll that they owe some one.
But net so with the ma ority of men.
The world is composed of two
classes, debtors and creditors. The
second class loans to the first, and the
first works for the second. Every
man can choose early in which class
he would be. Each wise man will
so live that small sum, at least, shall
he saved each year out of his income.
1t is useless to argue that your income
is small. If You cxpend all your
income when it is $500, or $1,000,
then you will also do 50 when it is
$500, or 50, 900. For mans wants
increase even faster than his income.
Mark that; it is true. Cut down
expenses until tenth or fifth, us
may be, can be saved, Then invest
in safe securities. \ home perchancc
if you have none. If you have \
home, a small farm or house in
town; under no circumstances peril
its safety. We have known farmers
to 30 in debt for organs and sewing
machines to the extent of two or
three hundred dollars and then when
pay day comes mortgage the farm
to raise the money! Organs and sew
ing machines are I'LL very well, but
the farm is much the more useful
One OF Horace Greeley's sayings to
young men was, "Dont run in debt"
And he gives sorrowful picture of
his trials in youth when struggling to
pay his debts. You will find many
will loan to you SO long rs you give
security, but ten per cent gnaws fast,
pay day comes swiftly and money
lenders are generally hard masters.
AS you value your happiness be
careial how you run in debt.
