Shall We Enlarge the Standard

Some Of our patrons and friends are
responding to our ropositon TO enlarge
the STANDARD by sending in, new sub,
scribers. That is right, let them come
procure as many as possible and for
ward them promptly. We areanxious
TO make the STANDARD a frst-class
weekly agricultural paper and will do
90 as soon as we receive sufficient en-.
enlargement from the people to justify
the necessary expense. We can see
no good reason why Tennessee can not
support first class weekly agricultu-
raj paper. McMinnville, geographl-
cally, is not far from the centre of the
state, and is certainly very suitable
place around which to establish expert.
mental farms if, necessary. II we
could only receive the necessary en-
enlargement from those who ought to
be interested in a grand forward move
ment of the agricultural interests Of
the state, we would not hesitate to in
vest sufficient means and time to make
the enterprise success. We believe
the time is at hand to go forward
when farming and stock raising can
and will be more profitable than ever
before in this country. There is a
continued increase in the demand for
farm products, and now almost every
thing that we can produce from a
basket of strawberries or dozen of
eggs to car load of wheat or mules
finds ready market for cash. This
demand will continue to increase As
population increases. There is, per.
haps, no state in the union that has
brighter prt spects for the future than
Tennessee. Our mining and manu-
featuring interests, in many parts OF
the state are receiving attention from
capitalists and will soon give employ
ment to large number of hands, all
of whom must be fed.
There is everything to encourage
the farmer to improve his farm and his
farm products SO as to be able to pro
duce the largest possible amount OF
surplus products and at the same time
improve the fertility of his land. Oul
desire is to help what we can to adj
vance these important interests, and
our usefulness will be in proportion t.
the support we receive from the people
of the state. 1t would require but &
small sacrifice of time for each farmer
and other persons interested to talk t.
his neighbor about the enterprise. A
before said, we can see no good reason
why Tennessee should not have a frs
class agricultural paper, and McMinn
vile being central point we are will
ing to do what we can to start the en-
terprise here. Shall we have it?

Farmers trying TO make a living of
worn out lands must stop selling their
calves and pigs, and sell fat oxen and
hogs instead, and they will soon see the
improvementin the fertility of their

If M. Risler has made correct obser-

One of the industries of Australia is
the cooking and canning of rabbits,

Every one interested in potatoes
should try on small scale, new varie.
ties, till they find something adapted
to their cultivation, ETC., and by being
a little careful, can double their yield
on any of the old kinds with but little
additional expense. Money spent for
good seed is well invested, and will be
very certain to pay large dividend.
: New England Farmer.
A dairyman says: "In the case of
an unusually large aid well developed
heifer there is no objection to having
her first calf before she Is two years
old, but when understood or at all weak
it is safe to let her reach the age Of
two and one-half or three years. II
thrifty heifers come in at an early age
and are properly attended to, they
make better mixers than when they
come in late"
Sheep will do better on inferior food,
if fed regularly, than on good food, iffed
irregularly. Attested experience is in
favor of feeding three times a day
morning, noon and night. In this,
many of the best breeders agree. Some
however, feed but once a day, and
think it best. When this is done
the day feeding should be a..considerable
time before dark, for sheep do not feed
well after dark. Salt must not be
neglected. +,

Don't Sell Your HeiferS.

A wise and discrete farmer of this
county said to us this week, that our
farmers were selling too many CT their
heifers to the butchers. He thinks
that we should take care of our heifers
and grow more cattle and better cattle.
Cattle are aud have been rather scarce
and this we think a good and wise sug.
gestiOn. Keep your heifers and by
judicious crossing you may greatly i'm
prove your stock of cattle both in
quantity and quality.
