improvement Of Native Cattle.

Scarcely a man, old or young, ever
hears Of a notable thing done but he
thinks to himself: 81 could have done
that" 1t is either want of opportunity
or absence of thought in that particular
direction, and the latter is by far the
more frequent than the former. A
genius-or what is precisely the same
thing, a successful man-makes his
own opportunities. He gives his mind
to his special idea, cultivates it, per-
fects it, and &nds a place for it at once.
1t is precisely thus with regard to the
Improvement Of our live stock. Let us
take the Shorthorns as representing the
beef cattle and the Jerseys as the type
of dairy stock. These breeds have
both been made. At one time they
were the common races of their locality
scrubs, just as we call our common
stock. But men conceived the idea of
improving them. Bates and his neigh
bors in the north of England bred the
Shorthorns, ard a few farmers in the
island of Jersey cultivated that race.
And now these two breeds are the most
noted and valued of cattle. 1t will not
do to despise popularity. There is
something always back of success in
everything; and it is wholly wrong to
think the men who have Faid thousands
of dollars for Shorthorns and Jerseys
| were fools with whom their money was
soon parted. And every farmer may
learn a lesson from the facts and the
suggestions which we have offered. We
have a really excellent 'native" race of
cattle, which we in our carelessness, not
to say ignorance. are content to call
scrubs But, like the modest, retir-
ing farmer who is rarely seen or heard
of, but his work keeps the world ago
ing, these scrub COWS are doing a vast
work. They produce every year a thou
sand million pounds of butter and four
hundred million pounds of cheese. And
yet no n has ever taken them-''by
the hand" we were about to say-with
an intention of elevating and lettering
their position in life. But noble blood
flows in their veins; the best of it, for
out of it have come all the noted breeds.
And it is quite as amenable as theirs to
improvement. Here is a vast field for
cultivation. And any farmer who gives
his mind perseveringly to the pursuit
can do what others have done and make
a great improvement in our native race.
He can select the best and bring in
new blood for the best animals he can
find and perseveringly stick to his work,
never looking back, and gaining a little
every year, until he doubles the pro-
duct of his COWS. This is not difficult
to do if the right way is taken. The
way we have been pursuing has been
the wrong m No matter what ami
NAL is used when a calf is wanted, tho
cow will milk and the calf is deaconed
or vealed. 1t is a grand record of our
despised scrubs that in spite of such
treatment they are still fairly good
COWS on the average. And they de-
serve better treatment, and will well re-
pay every farmer or dairyman who will
give them their just deserts in the way
of improving them.-New York Times.

Care Of Young Trees.

Trees that are not on cultivated land
should receive especial care, until they
have been set about two years. Trees
that do we'll the first year often die the
second, because, supposing them to be
out of danger, they receive nc special
care. In our climate the sun is very
hot and we often have long continued
dry weather, sometimes so long as to
dry the earth below the roots of trees
that have been set but a few years. As
a tree full of leaves exhales a very
large quantity of water every day, the
roots, to keep the tree full, exhaust the
moisture from the soil so rapidly that
when capillary action is checked by q
hard baked crust on top, there is not
enough moisture drawn from below to
supply water in sufficient quantities to
keep life in a tree. To keep the soil in
a good condition it should be either
well cultivated, or well shaded; the
latter may be best done by mulching,
if done before dry weather commences.
The mulch should If possible be applied
early in the spring. 1t is wonderful
what a difference it makes in the moist
IRE of the soil. whether it be well
mulched or left exposed to bake in the
sun.-OrGRg2 County Farmer.

A Feature Of Hotel Life.

Gossiping about the large hotels of
New York and the costly habits which
they stimulate, the 'Lounger'' of the
Tribune touches upon a hidden feature
of hotel life thus: "Many a guest is in
debt and cannot get away from his ho-
tel. Many a woman, apparently indie
pendent and fortunate, is wondering,
while she smiles with visitors, how she
shall get her trunks away from the es-
t~ablishment, and what person in the
house she shall strike for a loan, and at
what sacrifice. People often look into
the tenement house and think that the
people must be very miserable there,
but | wonder if they are not happier
homes than some of these large hotels,
where every week ONT the reprimand
that 5000 or more is due and the rules
of the house are imp ,rative."
