Value Of Rye.


To my mind our farmers very much
uudervalue rye as 3 crop. There are
more things than one to be considered
in determining the value Of certain
crop-more than the market price it.
self.
From what | have observed, and
from my ewn experience think there
is no grain or vegetable so sure to pro-
dnce crop every year as rye. L have
never known it to fail in this country
during the twenty years L have been
farming here. 1t can be sown late, at
o time when it would be throwing
wheat away to SOW it, and produce a
good crop. Last fall sowed ten acres
September first, and after it had all
been devoured by the hoppers lsowed
the ground again late III October, and
ii barely came up before hard freezing.
This field of rye made good pasture
for over thirty head of cattle the last
half Of April, and the first of May was
cropped as close to the ground as calves
could crop it. or course, if the first
seeding had stood, it could have been
grazing all fall and winter at suitable
times, and the benefits in this way
would have been very much greater.
But a half months pasturage in
April the practical farmer knows to be
of great value. From this ten acres
ot ground l reaped and threshed $50
bushels of good plump rye. My land
is Of The very richest and the rye would
b:fve been of the tallest, but Ipreferred
80 seed the straw before harvesting it,
when it was really valuable, and the
ST elk wanted something green, rather
than incur the expense and inconVeni-
el.ce of handling such an amount of
comparatively worthless dry straw.
Three feet is convenient height, and
liiuk the yieM of grain win be larg-
er Than it will on straw seven feet high.
The grain itself is not worth much in
the market. but is not excelled by any,
as feed for horses if ground with
oats. 1t is also good hog feed when
soak ed in water. They will eat it dry,
bmt il is more valuable ground or
boiled, or even softened by soaking in
cold water.
] AN told by foreigners that il is con-
sidrred a good bread stuff i'll the old
country. But our people are either
ioo choice, or else our women are de-
feient IN the art of manipulating it IN
to palatable bread.

The Care Of Sheep.

Keep sheep dry under foot with
clan litter. This is more necessary
than roofing them. Never let them
stand or lie in mud or snow.
If eve loses her lamb, milk her
daily for few days, and mix little
alum with her salt.
Never brighten sheep, if possible to
avoid it.
Separate all weak, thin or sick sheep,
iii The fall from those that are strong,
and give them special care.
If any sheep is hurt catch it at once,
and wash the wound with a healing
lotion. If limb is broken, biad it
with splinters, tightly, loosening as
the limb swells.
II sheep is lame, examine his foot,
clean out between the hoofs if I'M
sound, and apply tobacco with blue
vilrioi boiled in little water.
Shear at once Any sheep commenc-
ing to she'd its wool, unless the wealth
er Is too severe.
Keep none but the best and see that
they are properly attended to.

Why Some Farmers Keep Poor.

a recent writer says: "After long
observation have come to the conclu-
sion that great majority of the farm
ers that are poor might have made
money. If you inquire into their bust
ness habits you will find that they al
ways kept the poorest. For instance,
!. they have too many sheep on hand,
ttey pick out the best 10 be sold. II
yo, ak them why they do so, they
wiz say: because they bring twice

tei.d TO follow it always l think the
habit of selling the best is very poor

his circumstances in life may be. L

sells his poorest sheep for more than
twice as much as the average farmer

Matilda Fletcher thus describes far
mer's wife, who is not only beautiful
aud wise, but possesses several cardi-
nal virtues in addition: "The most
beautiful woman have ever known
was farmers wife, who attended TO
the household duties for family OF
four, and also assisted in gardening
and the light farm work ; and yet
never saw even freckle on her nose.
Impossible, you say: how did che
manage? never asked her, but she
bad some envious neighbors who went
slouching along with red, scaly hands
AVID sunburt faces, and their hair mat
ted with dust and Oil, who let me into
the dreadful secret. They informed
me with an ominous snake of the head
that she was the proudest mink that
ever lived, that she actually wore In
dia rabber gloves when she used the
broom and scrubbing-brush; and al
WAYS when she worked out doors, that
she had a bonnet made of oil silk,
completely covering the head, face and
neck, leaving only apertures for see
ing aud breathing, thus securing per-
fert freedom of the sun, wind and
dust. Did you ever hear of such de-
pravity? She also fastened her dish
cloth 10 a stick, so that she need not
pat her hands into hot water. For the
same reason she accomplished her
lanadry work with a machine and
Nfineer And then to see her in the
afternoon tricked out in a fashionable
dress with bright colored ribbons at
her throat, and a rose in her hair, en-
teriaining in the parlsr as though she
were the greatest lady in the land, was
more than,their patience could endure.
Aud her husband ? lie had such a
satisfied expression that it was per-
feet aggravation to ordinary people TO
look at him. lie deserved to be hap
pv. hc encouraged and helped her to
cultivate beauty in herself, her family
and her home, and / don't know but
her success principally belonged to
him, because he bought all the new
inventions that could tighten her la
bors, and all the delicate and pretty
thipgs she needed TO adorn her hsme,
and " hen she was sick he wouldn't
lei her touch work until she was well
and strong"

Since General Edgerlon'a visit the

the subject Of moving tho postoilice to

business men. The point first mem

No location In the city Ia more desira'
ble. We are Of the opinion that II any
change IL made at all, this would meet
the vlOws Of more people than any
other except possible n location at or
near the corner Of Austin and Elm.
The pavements in all the vicinity
are good. There are no saloons and
consequently ladies could go there at
all hours without iear of interruption,

atthe Windsor, we would have the post
office, express office, telegraph and

understands the important nature OF

hurried, one trip suflices for all. We
trust the matter will be carefully
weighed by the department.
