HOW FARMERS HELP EACH OTHER.
]From the Country Gcntleman.l

(From the Country Gentleman.1
A successful farmer finds it to his
interest that his neighbors should also
be successful. A single instance OF
well-ordered and productive fields
does not make the reputation of an
entire locality for profitable agricultu-
raj enterprises. 1t becomes noted for
fertility, and acquires comparative i'm
portance as a center Of production,
when the number Of good farmers is In
the majority; when its yields of grain
or hay or other crops attract general
notice; when buyers learn that such q
country town will supply the largest
quantity and finest quality of butter
and cheese or wool or apples or other
specially; when those who travel OBJ
serve the general excellence of roads,
the beauty of the shade that overhangs
them, the neatness of the lawns by.
which they r bordered, the orchards
and gardens that adjoin them, the evi-
dent prosperity Of the community at
large. To what extent the money val
ne of ones land who lives in such q
community is enhanced thereby-not
to mention the pleasure and profit OF
sssociating with those having similar
aims for improvement and gradu-
ally securing similar means of attaining
it-would be difficult to determine.

HoLsTEINs FOR BEEF.
ITo the Breeders Gazette

1 have lust received "Minnesota's"
query relative to the beef qualities of
the Holsteins. A few minutes previ-
Gus to reading l had weighed, tor my,
boy, a three-year-Old heifer, Mink 30
(1324) (will be four the IL OF June),
and she raised the beam at 1879 lbs.
This heifer has had no grain for the
past two months. except what d was
able to steal from the cows next to her.
and that only oat shorts. l have a
number eff four. year-olds that will DO
better. Will the steers from such
COWS, bred to 2,2O0-lb. bulls, be likely
to be small?
As to the quality, I sold a free mar
tin-twin heifer-to one of our butchers
who handles many hundred beeves
yearly (nearly all grade Short-horns),
and he said he never had q better piece
of beef on the block.
Notwithstanding, l was quoted in all
the papers as saying, at the Holsteln
gathering during the last fat-stock show
at Chicago, .sthat the Holsteins would
not fatten at any age."I made myself
understood by those who heard me,
and the reported who misquoted me
knew that he lied.
What l did say was, s'that the Hol-
stems would not finish up as baby beef
with the beef breeds, but, at three
years old, they could be depended upon
for l,s0O-lb. steers, with fair care"
Since the well-informed b~eef-eater
cannot be persuaded to purchase the
green, immature meat of rapidly-grOw-
ing steers, but demands ripe beef from
animals not less than three years old,
this does not seem likely to prove a
drawback to the beef quality of the
Holsteins, ave for those who must
turn their steers into money early.
While blowing my own horn, I will
say that we tested Arvine (2507) dur
ing the excessive cold week in Janua-
~, and she made Ibis. - OF. of butter
per day, which we think very good for
a two-year old heifer on dry feed.
Iowa City, Ia. CARY K. SMITH.
The Holstein's are conceded to be
the best milk breed in the world.

HOW WIDoWBRs 0

From the Lawrenceville, Ga. Hsrald.I
The widowers of Martha's district
are taking the shine of the young men.
They do not stand and curl their mus
taches and eye the girls from a dis
lance. They know when a peach is
ripe and pick it off while the boys are
smack.ng their lips and admiring it.
And when they want to ask the old
lady they do not sit up half the night
kicking up the chunks, waiting for the
children t o go to bed and dreading the
ordeal, but go at it In a business way.
We heard of one recently who went on
such an errand and stated that he came
over to borrow a tub, and while his
future mother-in-l law was out showing
him where to get it he proposed to take
her daughter along to take care of it.
They are sly, these old widewers are.

PITH N POINT.
Eight Good Reasons Given by n
Colored Man o Being a
Democrat.

Below we copy an article from the
Grenada, Mississippi, Sentinel, written
by a sensible celored man to show why
he is q democrat.
1. / know that q great majority of
the white population of the United
States are democrats, and it is to the
interest of the African race to be friend
ly with the white people. About half
OF the population OF the north are dem
ocrats, and the great mass of southern
white people, showing that a great
majority of the whole white race are
democrats.
2. Because I thoroughly under
stand the southern white people, and
they understand me and my race, and
If /, by my conduct, gain their good
will, and show that we a live to-
gether in peace, they will protect my
race now and hereafter, and in the fu-
ture no doubt my race will need their
friendship and protection.
8. Because all the half million OF
immigrants that land in the United
Stat 8 every year and the poor laboring
people of the north are naturally oppos-
ed to my race, however they may talk
and vote, and I had better, for the
future safety of my race, keep on the
best terms possible with the people at
home.
4. l acknowledg that while my race
IL improving in education by means of
the good schools the democrats give
as, the white race are more intelligent
than my own and al give the state
better government for both races.
5. l acknowledge that the demo-
cratic party has given US good officers
and good government since 1876. They
have kept up the free schools aud made
them better than they were, and have
passed no unjust laws against my race.
s. hope to have a little piece OF
ground and a home of my own some
day, and I don't want the country stirr-
ed up and high taxes put on US as they
were under radical rule.
z. As the white people have been
kind to me--when I was in distress.
and have furnished me meat and bread
out of their stores on credit always
feel better when l am IN good terms;
and / know that nothing will please
them more than for me to join the dem
ocratic party; hence for the sake OF
myself, my wife and my children, and
the future of my race, | am a democrat
from this time on.
g.. If must vote for white candi-
dates, l will vote for those that most OF
the white people are for, and not for a
few independents who only want my
vote to get Office, who can do me nc
good, and who will 60 back on me
when it suits them, after they get the
Offices.

A KENTUCKY BREAKFAST.

lFrom the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Dick Wintersmith always pretended
to be familiar with the tastes and habits
OF the people OF the Bluegrass region.
Speaking of the menu of the morning
repast of the Lexingtonians, he has
been heard to say hat a Lexington
breakfast consisted of three whisky
cocktails and a chew of tobacco. 1t
would be difficult to find language suf-
iciently strong in which to denounce
this vile SANDER.

TREE PLANTING.
[Oliver Wendell Hoimes.I

Ihave written many verses, but the
best poems | have ever produced are
the trees I planted OIL tho hillside which
overlooked the broad meadows, sc0l-
loped aud rounded ut their edges by
loops of the sinuous Housatonic. Ma
ture finds rhymes for them in the recur-
ring measures OF the seasons. Winter
strips them of their ornaments and
gives them. as it were, in prose trans
lation, and summer reclothes them in
all the splendid phrases Of their leafy
language. What are these naples and
beeches and birches but odes and idyls
and madrigals? What are these pines
and frs and spruce but holy HYMNS?

A COW WITH FIRST CALF.

1t is often the case when a heifer has
her first calf that the farmer thinks she
will no give more milk than will keep
her calfin good condition, and lets them
run together to teach her the mystery of
being MIXED when she has her next calf.
Says an exchange, in this decision
there are two mistakes that go far to
spoil tho COW for future usefulness.
Cows, says a contemporary, are largely
creatures ofhabit, andwith their first calf
every thing is new and strange to them
and they readily submit to be MIXED,
and think it is all right; but suffer
them to IL with the calf tine first season
and a vicious habit is established that
they will hardly forget in a lifetime. If
they ever submit to be MIXED quietly,
it is evidently under protest. But there
Is q greater objection than this-the calf
running with the COW draws the milk
every hour ortwo, so that the milk ves-
sells are not, at any time, distended with
milk, though the quantity secreted in a
given time may be large. But this is the
natural time to distend the milk ducts
and expand the udder to a good capac-
lty for holding milk. When, with her
next calf,yon require the m TX to be re-
tanned twelve hours, the udier becomes
hard and painful, and the milk leaks
from the teats, or more likely nature
accommodates the quantity of milk Sc
GREETED to the capacity to retain it, and
the COW becomes permanently a small
mixer. Much OF the future character
Of a COW, therefore, depends upon her
first calf. Everything that disturbs the
quietness of COW impairs the milk
both in quantity and quality. To OBJ
tain the best results, therefore, there
should be a regular time and place of
milking, and as far as possible the milk
ing should be done by the same person.
ANY cow a be MIXED dry In a few
weeks by irregular milking, sometimes
at intervals of twenty-four hours, and
sometimes of six. Separation from her
usual company, a change to new loca-
ton, strange mixer, and, above all, a
clustering manne and a scolding voice,
are sources of irritation that, more or
less impair the qualities Of a COW. Nc
COW under the influence of fear will
give her full quantity of milk.
