Union of Effort.

There is to be an effort made to unite
the Farmers Alliance and the Farmers
Alliance and Co operative Union, the
former the Northern organization and
the other the Southern. If the two
are not united under one management,
it is probable that measures will be
adapted looking to an entire harmony
OF effort between the two. We are not
advised as to just what the condition of
the Southern organization is. It is
powerful body, SO far as numbers is
concerned, but there has been some
dissatisfaction in its ranks, and we are
not very we'll informed to the exact
character Of it. In these farmers or
carnations there should be great care
exercised to do everything in way
that will bear investigation. One OBJ
stacle to rapid organization is found in
the fact that the business management
of such organizations has not always
been satisfactory, There has been no
dishonesty, SO far as we know, but the
business enterprises have sometimes
been beyond the means or the business
ability Of those who were in manage
ment. 1t is duty, therefore, to do
such things very carefully. We be.
lieve that it would be good thing to
unite the Northern and Southern asso-
ciations.-W Rural.

Brown Leghorn Fowls.

If it were not for the immense combs

liable to be frozen, the breed would
naturally be favorite with farmers.
who require plenty of eggs. They
are active fowls, good foragers, and
excellent layers. AS they are nonsit-
ters, it is necessary to have the eggs
hatched under other hens, or else BY
means of iucubators. Now, incubators
are made so perfect, that larger per.
centage of eggs can be hatched thus
than under hens.
There are two classes Of Leghorns;
one with rose or double combs, and the
other with upright or single combs.
The Brown Leghorns have many ad.
mirers, and it must be confessed they
are very handsome fowls and early
layers, pullets sometimes commencing
to lay at the age Of nine months.
They are all handsome fowls, proud

World is emphatic in declaring that

The Factory and the Woman.

There is of course no reason why the
dairy should not be just as successful as
the creamery; and all know that there
are dairies that are. But the farm
dairy is apt to be a small affair, com
paratively speaking at least; and that
usually means hard work for the
women. To make good butter means
good deal of close attention and hard
work. If the dairy is large enough
the women can be relieved of the work.

Bogus Butter.

The Rural and Stockman closes an
article on this subject with these
strong assertions: "We have always
said that the adulterated buffers are
not fit to be eaten, and we stand ready
to enter into any sort of reasonable ar
gument to prove it. We proved it
once, and we believe that there is NOT
to-day one pound of the stuff in the
market that is fit for dogto eat.'

manager of Western creamery 10 a

longer; it is done every day by hun
dreds of dairymen.
The quality of the milk depends
largely on the care given the cow, says
the northeastern Agriculturist. This
fact is coming to be understood better
of late. Cnrring keeps the hair and
skin in good condition AMI promotes
health, improving both the quality and
the quantity of the milk. To make a
cow do her best, she must have good
quarters, good food and good care.
Ii COWS were treated with as much con-
sideratlon as horses, there would be
less complaint of the lack of the profit
in the dairy. g

Our Corn Crop.

The Department OF Agriculture at
Washington now says that returns in
dicate yield ef Indian corn per acre

any other crop since that of 1880. The
aggregate grown on larger area will
exceed that Of any previous American
product, being very close to 1000, ,000,-
900 bushels, or about 80 bushels. per
capita, which has been exceeded in
several previous years. The average
yield Of the States is as follows: Ohio,
352 bushels; Indiana, 35 bu /; Illinois,
36 2 bu.; Iowa, 81 bu.; Missouri, 81
bu.; Kansas. 27 bu.; Nebraska, SO bu
These seven States prodnce GA per
cent Of the crop. The general average
will fall somewhat under twenty.seven
bushels. There is good supply of
Indian corn in nearly all parts Of the
South, so that comparatively little will
be required from the West. The yields
of the Atlantic States are moderate !;
seriously reduced by frost on the north

Rules for Feeding.

There are some very important rules
for feeding sheep and yet they are very
simple. One is not to feed more than
they will eat up clean. The reasons
for such rule anybody eau see, and as
it is rule that anybody can observe,
it should never be neglected. Feeding
regularly is another important rule and
one easily observed. Feed just what
they will eat and at regular intervals
and flock of sheep will do much bet
ter than if fed haphazard. A change
of food is desirable. A due amount of
roots or ensilage is ofincalculable ben.
eft to the flock More sheep die from
being stuffed with dry foods, especially
of the fat forming variety, than from
any other cause. At the closing of
every winter there are lots of sick
sheep. Too much dry food is the
trouble. But if roots and ensilage are
not at hand be sure to feed some oil
meal or mill s,uffs.

YOU put small drop of honey or oil OF
bitter almonds on that part of the mouth
you will find, no doubt to your great
surprise, that it produces no effect of any
sort: you only taste it when it begins
slowly to diffuse itself and reaches the
true tasting region in the middle dis
lance.
But if you puta little cayenne or mus
tard on the same part you will find that
: it bites you Immediately the experiment
should be tired sparingly-whilc if you
pnt it down lower in the mouth You will
swalluw it almost without noti"ing the

is that tie tip of the tongue is supplied
