New Enterprises.

-
1t is hard to start a new enter
prise amongst farmers. They often
wake up too late. They are timid
about ventures and 1isSruss1ui even
to their own judgment. This is nat
ural. Their gettings come slow and
by hard work. We do not blame
the individual farmer for disliking
to go into new enterprises alone.
He should have help and his neigh
bors should be the ones to do it.
There is nothing like neighbor-
hood, town and country combina-
tlons. Such united efforts will al
ways bring success. 1t is like put
ting the strands of rope together,
one is weak but all are strong. The
great lack of farmers is this very
concentration of effort. They want
to pull together. There are too
many pulling off or pulling back.
Now and then, a man with more
foresight than his fellows, will at
considerable expense purchase a
thoroughbred animal of some sort.
He is really benefactor in so do
ing, but instead of this idea seizing
his neighbors, he is made butt and
his animal a bprlesque. This is all
mean and comes from ignorance
and petty jealousy. Farmers, it
don't pay. The best thing to do is
to club together and form en- i'm
proved stock association, if it is no
bigger than to buy and own one
male pig, or one bull and use this
animal in common. Let the fools
laugh. In few years your stock
will outsell theirs and they will
come sneaking around with ~ guess
I'll try some of your stock, though
[ don't really suppose it is any bet
ter than other folks" II you love
your neighbors as yourself, let !
them. As soon as they get it, like
good religion, they will be all right.
At first they do not want to come
clear over to your side.

tions are present. The condition
is the best land, and not TO much
of it. Good land will not do, bet
ter land will not do, it must be best,
or the ability and the wherewithal
to make it best must be within
reach. Others are, lots of manure,
lots of cheap manure, lots of cheap
labor, lots OF people who eat but do
not produce, and good roads
These all are best fulfilled by near
ness to some business or manufac-
turing center. This does not nee
essarily imply large city. Small
towns and villages are better. The
inward loads of truck are bulky
and heavy, so are the outward loads
of manure, and "short hauls on
good roads" constitute large fac
tor in the problem of success. If
you can fulfil the conditions, try for
the advanced degree. Start in
slowly, don't upset the wagon with
q jerk.

In town near Hartford a nun
Der of young ladies have organized
novel club, which they call "The
Tongue Guard" Each member
pledges herself to pay penny into
its treasury every time she Gays
anything against another person.
She provides a home box for the
pennies, and at the end Of three
months sends the contents to head
quarters, where the money is utilI
lied for charitable purposes. II
every one would follow the example
of the Tongue Guard, great many
poor children could be comfortably
clothed for the winter. 1t would be
rather interesting to know how thi.
club will succeed, and the length Of
time it will last.-Hartford Times

An exchange recommends steep
ing dried clover in hot water till
swollen and soft. and then feeding
it to fowls during the winter.
Fowls require green food, and this
stepped clover is the best substitute.
Give them the water in which it
was stepped to drink. The clover
should first be passed through a
hay cutter and CUT into very short
lengths, as short as half an inch, II
possible. Glover is rich in nitro
gen, in the shape of vegetable
slbumen, necessary to the produc-
ton Of eggs. For every dozen hens
there should be added to the eloYer
tea handful of Gotten seed meal,
which is an addition Of nitrogen, al
ready lin the clover, a tablespoon
full OF !ane bone meal, teaspoonful
of sulphur, Tablespoonful of red
pepper, half a cup of powdered
charcoal, enough salt to season, and
teaspoonful of stacked lime
The whole should be thIckened
with mixture of part bran and
2 parts corn meal until thick enough
to throw to the fowls. If we will
look over the ingredients. we will
notice that lime, salt, charcoal, suff.
phur, and bone, are very cheap
su distances considering the small
quantity of each used, and outside
of giving little trouble, makes q
good food at small cost. It is a
complete food, because it contains
all that is wanted to induce laying,
and the articles named are just
what are contained in the ''egg
FOOD sold at fowl repositories at
fifty cents per pound. This food
s opld be fed early in the morning
and the fowl will relish it. Moth
ing else should be given till late
in the evening, when the food
should be whole grains, such as a
mixture of two parts wheat, or good
screenings, one part oats, and one
part corn.

Nothing else gives such immediate relief

Seeding to Grass,

The general conclusion in the
west is without doubt that while
the true grasses may be economl-
cally sown directly after harvest, or
in the autumn in time for the later
rains, get clover, from its liability
to freeze out the first winter is bet
ter sown in the spring. The con-
clusion arrived at by the writer, at
ter a number of experiments in
years past, is, unless sown with fall
wheat, the grass IN autumn and the
clover in spring, it is better to SOW
both grass and clover in the spring
and without other crops. By this
plan three quarter crop (ofien a
full CROP of hay may be had the
first season. The objection TO sum
mer seeding of grass in the west is
the difficulty of termination during
the dry, hot weather succeeding
harvest, and the danger Of the Qrass-
so"n Will .- AZ me spring, to
cease growing after harvest is also
imminent. Hence each person
must be guided in his practice by
his knowledge of climatic condi-
tions in his particular neighboi-
hood.
In this connection an article by
"Triticum" in the New York Trib-
une, will be found to contain "pith
and point" for all sections, so far as
the preparation of the soil is con-
cerned, and will also be found cor
rect in practice in all regions where
the after-harvest rains are sufficient
to terminate grass seed, wherein it
is stated that "many a field seeded
this spring with clover and grass
upon the slender and half bare
wheat will disappoint the hopes of
it's owner. This half-civilized
method of sowing grass seed should
be abandoned as out of date, BE-
longing to past age. AS the seed
sown by the wayside or upon stony
ground, all unprepared for it, so the
grass and clover cast upon the hard
soil of the beaten grain fields may
sprout, but when SUMS heat and
dry winds beat upon it, because 1t
has no depth of earth into which its
roots may push, the tender sprouts
perish of starvation. The sensible
way to SOW grass and clover seed is
to wait until the grain is cut and
then plow and prepare the ground
in the best possible manner. ] can
see right in view of where l am now
seated, while the gentle rain distills
upon it, a thirty-three acre field of
timothy and clover sown last sum
mer after grain had been cut The
land was ploWed and then cross
plowed and narrowed three times,
until it was quite mellow and
smoothJ it was then soWn both
ways and brushed and smoothed
with a plank brush harrow"

You may take twenty calves and
put ten of them into the hands of
farmer who will feed and manage
so intelligently IS to get the best
growth out of them, and the other
ten into the hands of farmer who
will manage them on the plan com

more money at thee years old. than
the others at four. The same is

WORDS OF WISDOM.

If man can't learn by expert
ence, he will make poor fist with
book knowledge.
The secret of success in life is for
a man to be ready for his opportu-
ty when it comes,
Doctrines are of use only as they
are practiced; men may go to per-
dition with their heads full of
truth.
One of the most important rules
of the science of manners is an al
most absolute silence in regard to
yourself.
Enmities are more active than
friendships. Many persons will go
farther to crafty judge than to
reward q merit.
The reason why so few marriages
are happy is because yenng ladies
spend their time in making nets not
in making cages.
When classes are exasperated
against each other, the peace of the
world is always kept by striking a
new note. Instantly the units part
and form a new order, and those
who are opposed are now side by
side.
Life never seems so clear and
easy as when the heart is beating
faster at the sight of some generous
self-risking deed. We feel no doubt
then what is the highest prize the
soul can win; we almost believe in
our own power to attain it.
In "the art to live' q man who
breads to idealize aims or to
make pictures will sooner or lpter
find his faculties benumbed and his
work narrowed to something for
which nobody but himself will care,
and for which he will not himself al
ways care with any sincerity or
depth of interest.

OF what use is a two minute
horse? How many fine roadsters
are made by the would-be breeders
of trotters2 1t is stated by careful
observers that the trotting- horse
mania in Maine has made more
worthless nags and bankrupt farm
ers than all other causes combined,
and mighty few valuable horses for
either track or road. To what end?
Mr.. Henry Bergh well says, 'horses
are cruelty whipped on all the ceur-
ses and have been killed this year
in several instances" 1t is an out
cruelty, this whipping
equine babes numerically and US
ing the spur until their flesh quiz
ers with pain, only to satisfy the
gambling prorensitIes of spectators.
On trotting tracks as well, animals
are whipped, shrieked at and urged
st an unnatural gait in order to beat
a record, and when it is lowered
owners are just as unsatisfed as
ever and want something better.
