A teacher has Just resigned hi, place in
Brooklyn who had been at the head of the
same school for many years His boys and
girls had a much plcaSanter time than most
school children do Mr., Higgins was strict
enough with them, aud made them learn their
lessons in school up to the mark every time,
But after that was done he gave them many
Outside lessons that nobody but very good
AMI faithful teacher would have thought OF
They gained thus knowledge that will be of
will look back to with joy all their lives. no
matter what troubles come after,
OF sunny Saturdays Mr. Higgins often took
his boys and girls into the country. They
had Jolly picnic Besides that, tho teacher
taught them 10 look about them and ,ee how
plants grew, and they hal lessons IN botany

OF trees of their own in Prospect park, which
: the public pleasure ground of Brooklyn.
The pupils planted the trees themselves under
vhe direction of their teacher, AMI TO each tree

Finally there Il a new WORK, called, "How
the Farm Pays" by William Croxier and
Peter Henderson. II you must confno your
purchase this Christmas to one book alone,
get this one 1t ispublished by Peter Hender-
son & CO., New York. 1t seems 10 DO the
model farm book. William Crozier is Q
wealthy and successful man, who made his
money by farming. Henderson is the equally
wealthy and successful market gardener.
The volume treats Of soils, crops, live stock,
farm machinery and tools, dairying, vege-
table and fruit culture. 1t is abundantly Il.
Illustrated. The information is in the form OF
plain, practical talks which go right to tho
understanding of the farmers. The actual
experiences of the authors are set down In
plain English. 1t is probably not too much
to say that city man could take this book
and by feeling his way cautiously and fol
lowing its directions closely make SUGGEST
full farmer.
All the books in this list arc illustrated. ex
cept Aliens New Farm Book" 1t is rather
odd, but there is no good horse book. There
are some passable veterinary works. But the
publications on horse breeding and manage
ment, all there are, go back to the other end
of nowhere in horse history, and have
scarcely three sentences of live practical
value. Somebody ought to write a good
horse book.

FARM zGARDEN
A CiydesSlalo Horse.

From time TO time We have given illustra-
tons Of improved breeds Of horses that have
been imported into this country. The French
horses and the Cleveland bay have had their
share of attention and we come at length to
the Scottish Clydesdale-
Horse breeding is ono Of the most profit
able side occupations a farmer can add to hia
general labors 1t cannot be too often urged
on agriculturists that American horses, ex.
cept the trotter, are inferior to those OF
Europe. They are smaller, lighter and
weaker, and in various ways show that they
belong to the scrub order.
Moreover, stock-breeding farmers grow
rich. Some of the palace homes Of the coun.
try are owned by men who have made for
tune through the importation, breeding and
sale of blooded horses, cattle and sheep. 1t
proves there is no lack Of appreciation OF
fine animals in America.
In the book, "How the Farm Pays" Mr..
William Crozier says the Highland Clydes
dale is the best horse for farm purposes, in
his Judgment. The French draft horse ap
pears to be rather the fashionable one in the
United States just now. There is no par
ticular reason for it. Mr. Crozier says:
ut has been objected to the Clydesdale
that he is slow, but after trial of different
breeds l find that the Clyde horse can pillow
more acres in q week than any other breed
have used"
In two blowing matches Mr.. Crozier's
Clydes came out first though in the second
one thirty pairs of horses were entered for
competition.

To Bring Up Worn Out Land.

There is much discussion once more on the
subject of bringing up the worn out fields
and farms of the older states, where bad
tillage has ruined them. We have given
suggestions ON this subject. They cannot
be repeated too often, however, as long al
there are so many SCARED and ruined farms
in the country. Nor can it be too strongly
emphasized that red clover is the exhausted
lands best friend. The method below given
can be depended on every time. 1t is a voice
right Off the farm:
Have the grubbing done and all washes
filled. Plow as soon in the spring as the
ground will do, and sow plenty OF oats and
enough red clover to make good stand,
Let it rest eighteen months. Don't harvest
the oats, but let it rot on the ground. 1t
will protect the young clover and keep it
from drying out in summer. In the fall OF
the second year plow it again and sow winter
wheat and in the spring sow red clover.
After the wheat is thrashed spread the
straw on the same ground and let it rest
again eighteen months or two years. By
this time the ground will bring anything
that may be planted on it. We never pasture
land We cultivate | think there is more
land ruined by pasturing it than any other
way; indeed, it is so. | have been living
and working on a farm more than thirty
years and that is my experience

Which was the Smart One, the Lawyer
or His Wife?

Amef'ca Ia rymin.
We listened to the story the other day of
a man who was educated to he lawyer He
tried to practice his profession, but as the
proportion of cases to babies was all against
him, he decided that he could put that smart
little wife of his to some Use in the dairy SO
he gave up his profession, hired a small farm
a dozen miles from New York city, bought
ten or fifteen cows, and went to butter max
ing His first wise movement was to find
private customers for his butter, which,
thanks to a smart wife, vas of the finest
quality. He soon had it engaged at - cents
pound, delivered twice we * The de
mand for this butter at such price soon
outgrew his dairy's capacity, so he is now
buying fresh cream from his neighbors, while
his wife makes it into S0-cent butter. He has
now added to his butter trade the sale of
fresh eggs at five cents a piece, each egg
stamped with the date it was laid and thus
guaranteed to be perfectly fresh. This man
says he intends sticking TO an honest course
of action, and build up trade that will stay
by him, while he is making far more money
than he would have been making If he had
stuck 10 the law.

likewise repudiates the term hog cholera
as incorrect. He says it should be Swine

farmers who feed and water swine irregilarly
and permit them to gorge Themselves
on foul or decaying food and impure wate,
have most disease among their herbs. He
says: "The two chief causes of swine Fever
are wan, of information and careleSsness

The picture shows a fine type of Highland
Clyde, owned by Mckay Bros, Fort Wayne
Ind. He is bay, with the characteristic
white nose and hind feet, 1t is to be remem-
bered that there are two breeds of Clydes-
dales-the Highland and the Lowland. The
Lowland animal is the enormous draft horse
seen at the British docks and wharves draw
ing trucks. 1t is too heavy and large for
general farm work Mr. Crozier thinks the
Highland Clyde or the Canadian horse the
best adapted for all purposes on the farm.
He says:
They are clean in the bone, easy keepers
and good walkers Il In the horse
market of this country nothing is such
hindrance to real sales as want of size. Nc
matter how perfectly the horse may b'
built, with strong body or short limbs, if h
is small he brings only low price. l thinl
that the Clyde horse, weighing 800 or 60
pounds crossed on our native light mares
weighing 900 or !, 100 pounds, makes one Ct
the most valuable breeds for farm work"
The same writer says a horse should not
he less than or I years old to do steady
farm work. Americans are apt to stunt
their horses by putting them at heavy work
