RoLLIN SQUIRE, the commissioner Of
public works in New York, who wrote a lot
OF doggerel about Gen. Grant and had it
placed among the draping onthe front Of
the city hall, from whence it was removed
by order Of Mayor Grace, will get more
fame for his effort than the most brilliant
poet who has written of Gen. Grant
People everywhere are anxious to see the
obnoxious verses and thousands will read
them and wonder whats the matter with
them, declaring them to be AZ good as
any other poetry. Doubtless Squire
thinks SO himself, and that Mayor Grace
was very graceless about the matter.

Following are some notes from the prac-
teal experience of a woman farmer who has
cleared off large debt, erected year by year
commodious outbuildings AMI good fences.
Besides that she has so brought up and en-
-iched the worn-out soil of her fields that her
farm is actually much more valuable from
The crop-producing standpoint than it was
when she took hold of 1T dozen years ago.
Nor is her experience unique. Others have
lone the same A good farmer will keep his
land up. The producing power can be stead
ly maintained and increated by good ullage.
Y on never hear of ground wearing OUT in
he Netherlands, in France or Germany, al
though some of 1t has been under cultivation
nearly 1000 years How one farmer has
cultivated the land Of ''worn-out" farm
you will see below:
When we begin with good ground we tend
il two years in tobacco, corn or potatoes.
| The fall of the second year pillow deep, har-
row and sow wheat. Early next spring sow
plenty of good red clover seed on the wheat
ground, and let it stand until the fall of the
second year. Don't pasture 1t now. Harvest
! il for May, but spread straw over the young
wheat All the manure we have we put on
before blowing, every time. In this way l
have been farming for number of years,
and my fields have been improving all the
! time. Red clover is the best fertilizer have
ever tried.
Here in southern Ohio red clover often
freezes out and lies on the ground, yet 1t
Toes the ground great deal of good. 1t
ioes more good, though, when it does not
freeze out Mrs j. w. ARCHARD.

Things to DO and to Know.

Let every farmer teach his children TO use
tools and keep them in good order
Half-barrel fish kegs make the best soap
tubs Pine is the only wood that will stand
the eating action of soap
Accustom cattle gradually to the green
grass of the pasture in spring, letting them
stay on only an hour or two for the first few
days.
The gardener of the Johns Hopkins estate
in Baltimore county, Maryland has cult.
waited figs for % years and never failed of d
crop.
England sent to America for canned meats
for the army because there was not in Great
Britain contractor with facilities for sup
plying the amount needed
A writer in Bradstreets asserts that after
IS years experience in Iowa he has never
known q mortgage foreclosed on a dairy OF
stock farm.
T. 3. Terry says the neatest thing out fol
raising the temperature Of the cellar, wheI
il gets too low, is small oil stove with d
radiator, or drum, on top Of it. The cost L
small and the control perfect, to Fraction
OF a degree.
The Rural New Yorker believes emphati
calIy in the trench system of potato culture

She is Canadian cow, being owned by V.
E. Fuller, of Hamilton, Ontario. Like
Maude s. among trotters, Mary Anne OF st.
Lambert stands alone She has produced 30
pounds and IL ounces of butter in one week.
In II months and s days she gave SCI
pounds and 14A ounces.
At the beginning of this, above, in the or.
uamental letter "A, =" appears the head Of an
other great Jersey COW, Coomassie, an i'm.
ported animal, the most famous animal OF
her kind ever brought over seas. The Jer-
seys have well known markings that cannot
be mistaken. Their colors are fawn, spotted
white and black. One of the old-time mark
ings was a crumpled horn. The horn of one
of the animals in our illustrations incline>
downward and inward, YOU observe. As il
grows it sometimes presses against the cow;
eye and skull so painfully that 1t must be
sawed off from time to time. The Jerseys
are the most gentle and docile of the COW
kind They have been called by their enc
mics the rich mans plaything. But they are
the poor mans pet and profit as well.

How many persons are there who would
not turn up their noses at mention Of unsalt-
ed butterf Isn't fit to eatl exclalms the opin-
donated person who does not know what he
is talking about. Well, it is a matter OF
taste. But travellers from Europe have the
greatest difficulty in becoming accustomed
to our strong, old, briny butter They can
not eat it at first, any more than the Amer
lean can endure the pretty, tiny pellets OF
fresh butter that meet him at every hotel in
Europe But again, 50 accommodating Is
human nature, that, once forced to accustom
himself to the ursaited article in Europe,
he, too, finds American butter briny and
favorless.
The truth is that the most delicious butter
is that which is left unsalted. For market,
Of course, it will no. keep many days in the
fresh state, but even then twice as much

Hen Columbus Delano, of Ohio, has a
model farm near Mt. Vernon. The Michigan
Farmer says: 1t is his system to buy steers
Two years old past, in the summer or fall OF
he year, and as there is large amount of
straw from the grain grown on the farm the
steers are wintered at the straw stack until
about the middle of March. when they are
fed cut hay and meal until grass gets good
start. During the summer they get good
growth, are stall-fed until the next mid
winter and sold, usually weighing 1900 to
100 pounds per head, and bringing from
$50 to SO per head more than first cost.
tall-ieeding of cattle is not the business
aere this is mentioned to show their methoL
Of converting their straw and coarse feed

u u conservative as always, has been
slow in Catching on" to the new idea. IL
has remained for wealthy merchants,
bankers and manufacturers to improve our
domestic animals. The cows called ma
tive belong to the old common stock or the
country These are being crossed with
blooded stock purchased from the importers
herds till the whole standard OF dairy AMI
mails is being gradually raised.
For quality of milk and quantity or but
ter. beyond doubt, the best COW Is the Jer-
sew. There is in the United States number
of famous herds of these beauties. The best
are said indeed to be superior to the nerds
upon the island of Jersey itself. The Amerl-
can Jersey Cattle club has done more than
ANYBODY else to foster the breed. The cows
are the same as those formerly called Alder
nev. Very few, however, come from the
latter island. but nearly all from Jersey.
Hence they should be given their right name
A century ago it was observed that the cat
tie of the Channel islands were superior to
those elsewhere. These are islands lying or
the north coast of France and belonging to
England The names of the principal ones
are Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark
So Jealous are the islanders of their famous
cattle that law prohibits the bringing or
any FOREIGN horned cattle to their shores,
axcept such as are for food. These are COM
pelled to be slaughtered at the port OF ar
rival.
The progress of the breed of Jerseys i'll the
Tinted States has been slow, owing to their
small size. The perfect COW, like the perfect
hen. will probably never be found. The Jer-
.evs are bitterly abused by those who see III
cow only quarters of beef. Their meat is
sweet and tender, but there are fewer pounds
IF il than cling to the framework of big
horned, straddling Texas steer and his type.
However, if the butcher does not approve the
Jersey. he need not There are Texas steers
enough for him. For those who drink milk,
who prize the most delicious cream and but
ter that ever sid down an unregenerate NOR
tails throat, the beautiful Jersey COW is quite
GOOD enough A pure blood's milk gives
cream so rich that sometimes it can be lifted
in a mass from the top of the milk without
breaking. This is a tough story, but it Is
true. The fresh milk of u good specimen OF
the breed is oftentimes as rich as the cream
of an ordinary native.
The buttermaker of the world is the Jer.
@v. That is proved beyond doubt. Butter
tests have been given at the headquarters OF
the best known herds which are interesting
to every farmer in America. These tests
have added new and unheard of value to
the famous butter-making families of Jel'
sevs. A calf from one of them often sells
for several thousand dollars. noble herd

To grow carly tomatoes, says NJ. Milton,
we must keep them growing slowly from the
time the seeds vegetate until they are set in
the open ground. This is done by frequent
transplanting in cold frames, always increas-
ing the distance apart each time, being also
careful that they are not set into the garden
until the soil is warm enough for them to go
on growing without any check; also, that the
position for them be sheltered, having a south
or east exposure.

The Best Wheat.

The fashion in wheat has entirely changed
,ince the roller process method of manufac-
,ure has come in vogue. Under the present
plans the gluten of wheat is most highly
orized, and as this is really the best part OF
he grain it is unlikely that the old prefer
,nce for starchy wheats will ever come
around again. When first introduced, the
,ld-fashioned Mediterranean, with its long,
lark berry, was regarded as inferior. Now
it is among the best, outselling the choice
white varieties, from which our white flour
was formerly obtained.
