The experiences Of the closest stu
dents IN dairying is that less corn meal
and more comfort in the way of clean,
warm stables, to promote animal heat,
and more bran, oats, etc., are the
cheapest and best cow rations. II we
expect the COW to play the double part
of COW and steer stuff the corn meal
into her, the more the better, and get
her to the block as quick as possible, in
order to sell the butter and beef at
the same time; but if she is expected
to be a dairy COW treat her like the COW
and mother; feed like q mother, and on
the foods that mothers require, not d
bullOck's ration, and we may in time
become dairymen and get dairymen's
profits.

FARM NOTES.

THERE has been an unusual supply
OF the small fruits this year, and the
prospect seems good for a large crop Of
apples, pears and peaches; yet, with the
exception of blackberries, prices have
been better than during some previous
years. Whether the markets can be
oversupplied or not depends not so
much on the quantity Of fruit shipped
as upon its quality and the condition IN
whichit arrives. A few years ago, when
the markets were supplied with straw
berries, which had fallen in price as
low as 3 cents per box, Y certain grower
sold all he could send to market at so
cents per box. They were so superior
to anything of the kind sold that they
were at once In demand upon arrival.
and the price was v Q enhanced by
the comparison with other kinds sold
at the same time. This demonstrates
that q paying crop does not depend on
the number Of bushels sent to market,
but according to the quality, which re-
presents expense and labor. While the
crops are growing larger every year, 80
Is the average quality, and prices have
correspondent with the quality every
season. Growers who sometimes be-
come discouraged should not overlook
the fact that population and demand
are increasing and that as buyers become
educated to q knowledge of the best
kinds of produce they naturally prefer
such, and are willing to pay more for
1t. There is no product for the entire
season greater than eggs, yet with i'm
b0rtations from Europe to assist in
supplying the markets tie prices r al
ways high In proportion to cost, and In
winter vary from 20 to 90 cents per
dozen. 1t is well known that those
who purchase eggs will leave q we'll
stocked market in order TO procure
such as may be knot1n to be strictly
fresh, and will not hesitate In paying
any price asked; SO with milk and
butter, which command ready sale, but
for which no Hxed prices are possible
owing to difference In quality.
Though butter has competed with sub
stitutes and prices have at times been
very low, yet that of Grst-grade quality
has always been sold at an advanced
price over the usual market quotations,
There is nc danger of an cverstockeG
market to the farmer, dairyman OF
fruit-arower who is willing to expend
the labor necessary for the production
of something that is choice and not
easily procured. 1t should be the aim
to send articles to market that are a
little better than those to be had, and
IL 81 doing not only will the best prices
'e obtained but the producer will build
. reputation for himself that will be to
his advantage the next season.

A LARGE English farmer says that
bis manure which Is taken from the
stables and piled up under a shed all
winter Is worth IN the spring fourtimes
as much as that which hiss been exposed
to the weather. This is undoubtedly
nearly correct il the exposure be a bad
one. such for example as throwing the
manure out Of the stable window and
letting it rest In a pile against the side
Of the stable exposed to the rain drip

of the fertilizing salts r drained out

New Years Hogs.

1t is not difficult to tell what many
people will do n the matter OF raising
swine this present season. Provision
has already been made BY many breed
ers to have large herds. The price
for hogs has topped the price of every
other meat producing ANNA! the past
Winter. and that is alwal a sufficient
cause to induce many to 60 more large
" into a bus ness. As rule this IN
crease of production. because of prevI-
Gus good pr'ces. is not wise. 1t is bet
ter to q" right along producing about
the same amount OF the various pro-
duets Of the farm year after year. In
the long run that will pay best, and
the reason is obvious. Good prices
one year stimulate product on the next
aud The market is almost Invariably
Quilted Is n consequence. Of course
we cannot tell what the price of hogs
will be this season. but il does seem
reasonable TO suppose that the price of
cattle must greatly advance. and we
shall be greatly M staken if that
is not the case. The number of cat
tie has been vastly reduced and
though it is fact that we had about
fifty per cent more cattle in the coun-
try than WAS needed we think it al
together likely that not only has the
useless surplus been marketed, but
that Our cattle supply has been re.
'luced below what it might protiably
be-. The range business has under
gone a great Change. though it is i'm
possible to say just now, that future
methods on the range will not produce
just aS many cattle as past methods
had done. The very large herds will
be the exception IN the future. and the
range business VIII be represented by
smaller herds and more of them. There
is feeling. however. that the range
VIII never pay what il has pa Il. and
if the profits are greatly reduced. the
Eastern bankers and dry good mcr-
chants and dudes will not be so eager
10 go into the business. But Of this we
are certain: The numb,r of our cat
| tie Is comparatively small, ami is rra-
sonable grounds for hoping for better
prices. But our purpose this con,
| ncctlon is to suggest rs we have al
ready said, that one wears prices fox
q product. is not necessarily good
reason for increasing the product tho

And the soldier was passing fair,
And that was the time when oar Little Boy

Kissed them and put them thers.

"And don't you make any noisen'
So toddl!ug off TO his trundle bed

Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh the years are many, the years are long,
But the little toy friends are true.

Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch Of a little hand,

In the dust of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blde
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Among the twelve thousand English

An amusing story. told in an English

One rough morning Bill jerks was
passing up II box of fish from the yawl
boat TO the steam carer. The box
slipped. fell. struck BIZ on tie thigh
and disabled h M. Bill was put on

label on which was printed For ex-
ternal use only"
As Bill didn't know the moaning of

must rub the contents Of the bottle on
the outside Of his injured thigh. Bill
rubbed forcibll and frequently, and in
u few days was ready To return to the

Before returning. he called on the

stylishly dressed man entered, who dis
played prominently valuable diamond
ring on one Of his fingers He soon after
got out, and the young lady. on getting
to her stage on her way home. stepped
out as well, and found, on putting her
hand in her pocket. that her purse was
gone. She. however, found a strange
article in her pocket which, to her
establishment turned out to be the
Identical ring which her fellow traveller
had been so SYSTEMATICALLY displaying.
Examination proved that the ring was
no flush article. n jeweler appraiSing it
as of the value Of ut least $3.50. Fortu-

An Investigation Needed.

A paper recently presented by Mr.. =.
B. Delany, before the American Institute
Of Electrical Engineers. says the EIcctri.
cal Engineer, a suggestion is thrown out
which ought not to be passed by unhted-
ed. The causes of death by electricity.
Its nature and limitations as well as the
probable means for its prevention. are of
sufficient practical importance To warrant
earnest investigation. We would sug-
gest, therefore, the advisnbility Of the
appointment by the institute Of a com
mittee to investigate an l report upon the
suject. The investigations which have
thus far been undertaken in this direction
have for the most part been isolated and
limited in their scope, and there is thus
left for the institute a clear field for
work the result Of which will rebound
to its credit We hope that this subject
will meet with the attention IT merits, and
that light will be shed upon still obscure
subject.
