..Igriifnlhtral,

We regret TO note the growing propensi-
ty Of many of our farmers to fall into the
habit of grumbling, so proverbial among
the farmers of the States. It's one OF the
worst habits that c.,r be contracted. It
keeps the farmer always out Of humor and
makes it disagreeable Tor every one around.
1t is just as easy to put the best foot fore
most and speak Of ones good fortune, and
e
ceiyed that is more dsagreeable than to
have your neighbor always parading his
misfsrtunes before you and growing
at his hard luck Every man who is not
necessarily follow that he must be always
parading them before his friends. Go to
the farmers house in the States, and instead
Of his entertaining YOU with an account of
the wonderful success he has had with his
crops; how much his fields have yielded !;
the tiourishing condition Of his stock the
good prices obtained OH his last sale, etc,
nc puts up poor mouth and says that the
world goes hard with hu, and to cap the
climax, ends up with a long statement Of
the ailments of his family. Now We GER
tainly regret to see great commonwealth
OF progressive people, like Montana, fall in
to this perniciOus habit. What matters it If
"a man does not quite reach his mark, it
does not help him on to be parading the
tact to the world. 1T is more calculated to
retard his progress. Mankind does homage
to success and men like successful friends.
The secret of success often lies in keeping
ones misfortunes to his or her self. Be-
sides, if a person allows himself to get into
the habit Of grumbling, he will grumble
when things are going at their best. Let
the farmers Of Montana pause and reflect.
and let as perscrye the happy spirit that
has been with us 50 long. Instead ofbrood-
ing over misfortune, rejoice at what has
\been accomplished. The habit of praising
one's achievements is easily formed, If we
SO will, as that Of grumbling at ones fail
ures. The Montana farmer has nothing to
grumblc at to-day. Every article of pro-
duee is going at better figures than the most
sanguine could possibly have hoped for at
seed time. Instead of thinking times are
hard and farmers in hard streak of luck,
they should feel the very reverse. And how
much better it would be for the farmer and
ais family if all were chearful if the i'm
portant lesson of accepting the situation
and making the best of it was. .instilled early
in life. Farmers ef Montana don't gram
BILE any more. 1t will soon become chronic !
with you. Make yourselves contented, be
cheerful: be happy. Life will be longer
and to better purpose, and the wayfare-
ing man i'll your midst will regard you as
your position in the world deserves.

There are variety OF mixtures which

OF which is grease that has not been salted.

protection of either stef or iron BY melting

one pound of lard. -fhis mixture may be
applied with cloth or any article that will
give thin seating to the metal to be pro-

EGG PRODUCTION IN AuTTMN.
tlsn.a,,.

Give the Leghorns the best food to be OBJ
tanned, and there will ..be little complaint
about eggs. The quality, quantity and
size will be satisfactory. Not one person
in ten knows how to feed fowls, or to give
the treatment they deserve. Farmers in
general. do not get the full benefit Of the
fowls they keep about them. Too often
they tolerate them instead Of keeping them.
For the money invested, a he'd pays as large
a profit as a COW. Farmers do not stop to
inquire into the matter thoroughly. Heed
ing only the larger things, the little ones
are allowed to escape. They are satisfied il
their hens produce fair quantity Of eggs
during the first months of the year, while
in the nineth, tenth and eleventh months.
fowls may be made to give golden profit.
Fresh eggs are priced at this season. Fowls
in fact. have been left to shift for them
selves Purity of breed also tells at this
propitious time, the purely bred fowls re-
spending more readily to the demaned than
the mongrel.
Give the Leghorns the best food the
earth affords, and there will be no complaint
when the usual derth comes in. There
must be ne stinting Of the birds, and their
allowance must be given the year round.
The Brown Legherns are then an almost
continued profit. There is much in the
management. The same Treatment will not
do for all hrseal olive Zoo much fault il

quickly consumed, and, might add, be-
yond supporting the meagre life OF the
fowl, it is wasted, when rs mach more add
ed would bring handsome profit. Aut-
umn laying of fowls is much to be desired,
and many have belief that it is peculiar TO
a few breeds, when it lies in a great meas
ure with the keeper. There are, however,
many breeds that put off laying until late
in the season, leaving blank during the
ninth, tenth and eleventh months. This
may in measure be obviated by care and
generous. feeding.
Separate the sexes at lnoulting time. In
deed this should be done as soon as all the
eggs have. been obtained for hatcing purpo'
ses. 1t is better for the welfare of both land
where cocks are not required for another
serson, it is better to fatten them. No ben
eft arises from keeping cock when there
is no use for him. A brood OF autumn
chicks are worth nothing. The care Of
poultry is intrusted too much to children
and Indifferent members of the family, be-
ing considered OF but little account. Ihis
is wrong.
! The fowls should be fed every morning
and due notice be taken if there be any
clueking, ar sitting hens among them. II
so, the nest should be hunted up and thu
eggs destroyed. Weed oat the old fowl

them and brings them into egg production

Fowls should never be allowed to ru
down through neglect, especially whe
and growing. They seldom recover. Pu
let's should not be kept in confinement wit
older fowls but have separate apartments
