but if sired by a thoroughbred bull OF
good milking stock, the chances OF failure
are reduced to a very low rate, and can
only be further reduced by using a
thoroughbred cow of the same stock.
Thoroughbred stock seldom, If ever, fall
to perpetuate their W qualities, and
common stock often do it; but Ill the
latter case it is only chance work, and
vet we know there are those who will
still continue to raise calves of common
stock, when at an increased expense OF
less than five dollars per animal, they

expects to build up a first-elass dairy by
raising the cows can hardly make q better
investment than in a male from noted
milking stock. The expense, when it Is
divided among the product, makes a very
small amount to each one, but the aggre-
gate result is large.

Military Surgery lin Turkey.

The following details will seem incre-
dible to those who are not acquainted
with the peculiar ways of the Turkish
administration. An artillerist had his
knee shattered at Sistova by the explo.
sion of a shell, and after his wound had
been temporarily dressed he was trans
porte | from the field OF battle to Constan-
tinople. In spite of his intense sufferings,
he listened with the greatest interest to
all the news from the seat Of war. On
his arrival in Constantinople, amputa-
tion was found to be necessary; but
before the operation could be performed,
permission had to be obtained from the
ministry of war. This permission must
always be obtained before an amputation
can be performed in a Turkish hospital,
and it not unfrequently happens that the
patient dies before the civil functionaries
have ceased celebrating on the demand
Of the surgeons. Fortunately for our
artillerist, his case was pushed through
with exceptional rapiditY, aud the de-
sired permit was given after a delay of
onlya eight or ten days. The brave
soldier, who had awaited the pleasure Of
the administration with the most exem-
plary patience, bore the operation with
heroic courage; there is still hope that
his life will be saved.--ledicaI Record.

Fields r smaller on small farms anu
less time is consumed in going from field
to field, and from house and barn to the
fields. Besides, small farms brings neigh
bers nearer to each other, their owners
become less isolated, and social advan-
tages exist which car not be enjoyed
where farmers own large tracts OF land,
and are obliged to give their whole atten-
| lion to their hired men. Last, but not
least, small farms are generally less
troubled with debt, which may be SAID
to be the greatest enemy of our people.
When the true history of. the recent
financial troubles shall have been written,
the troubles Will be found TO have re,
| suited. in a great measure, from the vast
amount of debt incurred by the farmers
of this country during the past ten years
| When II farmers shall free themselves
from debt, the cry of hard times need no
| longer be heard in country homes.
The above remarks are intended more
especially for those who are thinking OF
buyine farms. Farmers who have
already more land than they can cult
vate properly, particularly if they are in
debt, would often do we'll to sell a part
of their FARMS, and devote their attct1tlon
to what remains. Many who now try to
cultivate a hundred acres would find
their profits to be Quite as large, II not
larger, were they to contiue their labor
to fifty acres. Others. who are not in
debt, but have more land than they
need, might make it pay to divide their
| surplus land into small farms, and com
e improving them. A few days
labor once in a while, in clearing a place
for a dwelling house, and planting a few
fruit trees, would greatly increase the
value of such lands. There are those
who are in debt who cannot conveniently
divide their farms, who might sell their
farms entire and buy smaller places. 1t
is better to make a small sacrifice in the
sale of a farm that to have itsold at some
future time at half its value to satisfy a
mortgage. 1t is a mistake for a farmer to
buy a large farm for the sake of having
land to divide with his children. They
may never want land, or if they do, it is
better to make money by good farming.
on less land, with which to buy land for
them when they need it.
The farms of England are all large,
many of them containing thousands OF
acres; the farmers are supplied with
capital, and every acre is carefully cuI-
tivated, but this does not prevent the sale
of millions of dollars worth of our pro-
auctions in that country every year.
The farmers of country are destined
! 10 become the feeders of the world, and
to prepare themselves for this work they
should carefully study every subject con-
nected with their progress and prosperity.
Not the least important subject in this
connection, is the size of farms.--J Haw.

How it Feels to be Shot.

Capt. Henry Romeyn, of the 9th in
fantry, is now in Detroit recovering from
the wounds which he received in the last
battle with JOseph's warriors. He tells
the story thus: You see, l had been

able lump on my left shoulder, and the
others only damaged my clothing, l
