For the amount of capital invested says
farm that will return SO large profit as
poultry. AS a source of National wealth
a comparison of figures shows that the sum
derived by our people from the poultry and
eggs, is much larger than from some ami
mails, and strange to say despite all we can
do to supply the demand for eggs, there are
importations being made of them from Ger
many. France, with limited area, COM
pared with ours, produces eggs to the value
of $4,000, 900 annually, and considering
that this vast sum is the production of those
of limited means, the raising of poultry is
one that is not exclusively in the hands of
the wealthy, but within the province of all,

HERE has been large amount OF wheat
and oats cut and cured for hay this season.
We advised stock raisers to make some hay
III this manner, but it was not our design
that the farmers should convert their grain
crops into hay. However, as hay is mar

realize fully as well from it as to have al

A STACK of good straw is never amiss on
farm where there is any live stock. Even
if it is not eaten it will not be wasted, as it
will, in few years, furnish a valuable COM
post heap which may be hauled out and
profitably applied to the field, orchard or
garden. 1t is not too late, neither will it
take much time to build a straw stack,
which should be in the pasture or near the
barn where all the stock may have free ac-
cess to it.-Farnaer and Dai,y1,u,.

AGAINST THE CHESS THEORY.

The everlasting chess question is up for
ago OF the utter tallacy of the theory that
wheat could turn to chess. At the very
most that could he claimed the product
would be an hybrid. Can any one mention
one instance OF hybrid either animal or
vegetable reproducing itself? No, gentle
men, the thing is impossible. Then give
up the fallacy and let US clean our seed
from chess, and if our lands are clean we
will have oceans of wheat. The object OF
this communication is to tell how | clean
my wheat of chess. This is how: Take
from your fanning-mill all the sides and in
the place or groove made to put the sides,
put board running up to the discharge
from the hopper and extending about two
thirds down to the foot of the shoe OF the
mill. Then into the lower groove made tor
sides put another board and push it up so
there will be about two inches space from
the upper to the lower board.
The fall will be about six inches. Now
open the hopper so as to allow a smootl,
steady stream of wheat to run, and turn
just hard enough to blow the chaff out oi
the flowing stream of wheat onto the low er
board, and thus cause it to be discharged at
the hind end OF the mill, or in the box uu-
der the MILL This process will clean all OF
nearly all the chess from very foul wheat
OF course some of the wheat will be blown
over

FARMERS living along the railroads in

When baled it can be shipped to market,
and many farmers derive considerable

IT would be better if every farmer could
plow all of his farming land this fall. 1t will

herself morally without concealmcnt,
such as she is, in manner to deceive
no one; knows she is attractive and
loves to attract without committing
herself. Flirts all the winter with this
one or that one, only to dismiss him
in the spring, choosing immediately
another. Her resources are capital
which never lies idle. She goes out
alone; she travels alone; or, when it
suits her better, with male friend,
with confidence withou: limit, anc
an intimacy in appearance almost con

to describe his feelings, and to speak
of his love from morning till night
but it is not permitted to him to kis

without deeds she amuses hersel

The WATCHDOG Of the Public Fund.

1t is a fact well sustained by results
that the nose of u newspaper man is
often longer and keener than that Of
the most cunning detective. Arec,g-
milton OF this journalistic trait is made
in some of our large cities by employ
ing these Hawkshaws of the press to
ferret out and capture criminals.
Many instances NIL be recorded in
which, after successfully battling ali
the energies Of the police and detect
ives, the thief, the forrer and the
murderer have with chillike simple
ity stepped right into a trap set and
haited by wide awake reporter.
But it is in the matter Of iinancierinn
that the ability of the acute journalist
stands out in bold relief. He never
has much trouble with the enormous
sums which daily pass through his owl
hands, but then he is the watchdog
Of the public funds, and here is wher,
his mathematics come in.--Salt LAX,
