Very few farmers make sufficient prepara-
ton for water for stock In winter, and many,
indeed, fail to do 10 in the summer. When
cattle have the run Of large lots In which
grass is growing and green they do not suffer
so much from thirst II they do not happen to
have access to water when they please as they
do in winter when living on dry feed. The
succulence Of the grass supplies in part the
necessity for water, but when living on dry
food everything goes wrong II water cannot
be had when wanted. Water is essential to
animal life. The blood is three-quarters wa.
ter, and it enters into every organ and tissue
OF the body. II is the vehicle for the equal
distribution Of nutriment and heat to all parts
Of the body and for carrying of waste and
foreign matters which may happen to be Ia
ken in and when it is sufficient for these
purposes the comfort and health Of the ami
NAL are at once affected. Assimilation is i'm
paired or ceases wholly and waste increases,
young animals stop growing, fattening stock
ceases to increase in weight, and COWS shrink
in their milk, and it becomes deteriorated in
quality 1t cannot be long wanting without
causing an actual loss OF fat and flesh. A
lack of water is more detrimental than lack
of food, and creates more discomfort, and
will terminate life sooner than hunger. No
conveniencies about farm pay better than
convenient water supply. Cows, in particu.
lar should have access to IL at all times, es-
pecially if they are obliged to live, as most
COWS do, chiefly on hay as il creates a strong
err demand for water than other kinds Of fod.
der, such as straw, corn fodder or millet.
Some people seem to think if COWS get water
once a day it is all they need but that is not
enough, unless they are living on succulent
food, such as roots or ensilage. National

Hieb.Prieed Cattle,

Probable the largest sale of pure bred cat
tie ever made on either side of the Atlantic
by private contract, was effected the past
week by Burleigh d Bodwell of Vassalboro',
to THE Indiana Blooded Stock Company"
The cattle sold number 200 head, and are
without doubt the finest herd-everything
considered-in America or England OF the
number, 60 are Aberdeen Angus, selected
from twenty five of the choicest herds of
Scotland, including Earl of Southesks, Sir
Geo. Mcpherson Grants, Geo. Wilkens,
Capt. A. Mann's, the late VIM. McCombies,
and in fact representatives of a very large
part of the leading herds of their native
country. OF the Herefords, there are 1871.
All selected by Mr.. Bureigh personally, re-
gsrdless of trouble or expense Price of
herd, 1913, $4,000. As above stated, these
cattle go to The Indiana Blooded Stock
Company" and will be shipped there at the
earliest possible date, when a certain number
Of the herd will be offered to the public at
private sale, due notice of which will be Civ.
en- through the agricultural press. This i'm
mense sale, after having lately sold to other
parties something over 60 head of imported
cattle, reduces their herds to but SO imported
cattle, including the Sussex. -Mdiae Farmer,
Dec. 81.
These prices are not so eItravagant as are
frequently reported. The average is $466 10
each for 200 cattle. The newspapers contain,
from time to time, great number of these
reported sales of high blooded cattle. We
have avoided copying them, not caring to aid
in giving currency to reports which are gen.
orally mere advertising lodges. 1t is easy
for spectators in pulled strains to make sales
and get them reported in the papers at any
price they may choose to have made public
1t is very simple transaction to sell bull
calf for $525, and receive in payment a meri.
no ram at $500. Selling blooded stock at
public auction is frequently another device
for shearing the lambs By previous under.
standing with the bidders, this gives a fine
opportunity to get the high bloods advertised
in the papers as selling at any price that the
credulity of the people will bear.

Agricultural.
Lnrrcr, an Amman.

The fact that there are 221 lawyers in the
national House Of Representatives, and only
rs who class themselves as farmers, gives rise
TO much comment, some Of it wise and some
of it otherwise. 1t seems to be assumed by
some agricultural writers that the occupa-
tions should be represented in Congress in
proportion to the numbers engaged in each.
II so, there are people in other occupations
that have more reason to complain than far
mers. While we have eighteen farmers in
the House of Representatives, or at least
that number who are pleased to be classed as
farmers, there is not one who calls himself a
blacksmith nor is there a shoemaker, or a
butcher, or a mason, or a carpenter, or fish.
erman, or painter, or book publisher, or
a teacher.
Laborers, including those hired on farms,
outnumber the farmers proper, yet not sin
gle representative classes himself as a labor
er. Out of a total population Of 90, 1856, 900,
1899, 900 wero returned by the census Of
1880 as having occupations. About six millions
of these, or more than one.third part, were
classed as lsborers. Farmers, exclusive of
farm laborers, numbered about four and one
third millions, or approximately one.fourth
of the whole number of persons returned as
having occupations. The whole number en-
gagged in agriculture, including hired labor
ers on the farms, drovers, herdsmen, garden
ers, ETC., according to the last census, was y
$4,000, being about 43! per cent. of the
whole number Of persons having occupations.
1t is often enormously stated that the num-
Der engaged in farming is greater than the
number in all other occupations. Computed
as above the proportion of farmers to people
in all other occupations is as 434 to 564. II
farmers were represented in this proportion
in the House of Representatives 40 of the
1926 members would be farmers.
There are $4,000 lawyers in the United
States. If the lawyers were represented &C
cording to their numbers as compared with
the whole number in other occupations, they
would have but one member Of the House,
with fraction of one fifth toward another,
which many of the legal profession would be
competent to fill.
II by the term "lawyer" an INSCRIPTIONS
advocate is meant, we have too many of them
in Congress but one may be versed in law
and still maintain his conscience The need
of some general knowledge of law by any
one who acts as a law-msker, whatever his
calling or profession, is obvious. Yet it is
doubtful If we have a single congressional
district that has not farmer or some one in
other occupation than the law as well quail
fed to represent the people in Congress as
the average lawyer member

The cotton crop for the year 1888 is esti
mated at six million bales, or about 10 per
cent less than the crop of 1882. The prod.
uct of the last year before the war was lit.
tie more than five million bales, and the av-
erage for several years previous was less than
four million. Thus this special crop of slave
labor under the old condition of the south is
not diminished by the new order of things.
Some fine cattle intended for Christmas
beef were sold at the New York City cattle
yards the week before. One lot, a carload of
southern Ohio cattle, averaged 1861 pounds
and sold at fourteen cents per pound to dress
sixty pounds. For a carload of premium
Kentucky steers $40 per hundred was re-
fused. Four of the tops, weighing 1912 pounds
apiece sold at nine cents live weight, equal
to fifteen cents, to dress sixty pounds.
A sprinkling of air-slaked lime is the best
preventive of rot in potatoes 1t absorbs the
excess of moisture, and when the diseased
part dries up decay ceases. OF course the
sound tu6ers should be separated as quickly
as possibly from those in which disease has
made its appearance.

Don't try to keep more stock through the

vice we heard farmer give another lately.
That was good counsel. Weed out your
herds and hocks and discard those that are
the least profitable to keep, from the bovines
down to the fowls. 1.-The breed is in the
mouth, said farmer whose grade and ma
tive COWS profitably fill the milk pail aud he
was more than half right. Scanty feed and
