FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

How TO RAISE STOCK.-There is
difference in the kinds and manner of
keeping stock to make stock farming
profitable. One farmer tells you there
is no profit in raising horses, and it is
better to. buy your horses than to
raise them. If you will look at his
horse stock you will find he is about
right, for he has no mare that he or
any other man can name the blood OF,
and he breeds her to horse OF the
same kind to save a few dollars in the
start. When the colt comes it runs
its chance for living, often getting the
milk when the mare is all heated up
with work. After a time the colt is
thought old enough to wean and Is
taken away from the mare at once,
but has not learned to eat and will
take no nourishment until starved to
it. OF course it will become poor and
is not much of a colt when spring
comes; will take all summer TO get in
reasonable condition, and runs the
gauntlet another winter between
grown horses and cattle. fit escapes
accident or death from horns, when
four years old and about the size OF a
fair three-year-old all hands are called
in to break the colt. If he don't break
his neck when first battered he is har-
messed and blind bride put on him,
and he is hitched to the wagon, he Is
afraid of every one and every thing,
and is very apt TO kick, and finally is
a poor horse, not reliable anywhere,
and Of course an Improbable horse
TO raise. Such farmers are not the
ones to make horse raising profitable.
Such men are always buying horses,
and seldom get such as they want.
Another farmer will tell you he can
make more money raising horses than
any other stock. This is the way he
does it. He can tell you the blood of
every animal he has on his farm. His
brood mares are so we'll bred that he
will have a good colt from each. He
has no use for poor sires; the horse he
breeds to must show clear pedigree
and no blemish that can be transmit
ted. He cares well for the mares;
works them reasonably, and when
the colts come they are taught 10 lead
when only few days old, and hand
led often and taught not TO be afraid
of those who care for them They are
taught to eat as soon as possible, and
when ready TO wean are fed better,
and graduallytakenfr from their mother,
so that by the change from milk to
grain, grass and hay, they will not be
badly affected. They are fed particu-
larly well the first winter and handled
often until old enough to work, and
then little careful training makes
them good reliable horses, worth two
or three of the first described and cost,
il any difference, less feed and time;
not so much, if you consider accidental
deaths and other bad results in breed
ing. The first kind of horse-raising
will pay never, the last kind will pay
every time. The same rule will work
in the same way, with ell other kinds
of farm stock

They lately received a class of nine

The members of the Grange in Yer
mont have in practical working order
an organization known as the Yer
mont Maple Sugar Exchange. They
say: The object of the Vermont Maple
Sugar Exchange is to furnish consum-
ers in all parts of the countrya strictly
pure article of maple sugar and syrup,
direct from the producers in the Green
Mountain State. The extensive adul-
iteration of this product by unscrupu-
lous dealers inside of the State and
flooding of the market with this adul-
teration under the guise of pure Yer
mont maple sugar, induced the Yer
mont State Grange and the business
men of the State to effect all organlza-
ton on a sound financial basis, through
which the sugar product of the State
can be handled SO as to protect both
producer and consumer. All sugar
and syrup received by the exchange
will be graded according to its quality
and all packages shipped to consumers
by the exchange will bear its trade
mark, which will be a guarantee OF
the purity of the goods. Alpha
Messer, of Rochester, VT, Master OF
the State Grange, is president, while
the secretary is l.. y. Flint, Secretary
of the State Grange, while leading
Patrons and business men of the State
make up the other executive officers.

WEARING OUT COwS.-It is some
times said that the cow is a machine
for the manufacture of milk and but
ter. This is true, with some impor-
tant limitations. The COW is living
mechanism, and therefore requires
more careful management than an ILL
sensate machine could need. There
is such thing as wearing out cows
by injudicious feeding. Good COWS
have enormous appetites, and demand
abundant and nutritious food. But
they should not be forced or tempted
to eat moro than they naturally will
While the coarser and less palatable
ration should be given freely, yet
grains and meal must be limited.
Some of the great milk and butter
records for short periods have been
made by stimulation with food which
for animals is almost rs destructive TO
health as stimulation by drink is TO
men. The only correct test of cows is
their yearly product. Another way
in which good cows are spoiled is by
deficient nutrition during those times
when they are not giving milk. The
owner thinks that less and poorer
feed will do then, and so the COW
while bearing her calf is fed largely
on straw and becomes poor.

To STARCH LINEN.-To do up shirts
take two tablespoonfuls of starch and
one teaspoon even full of powdered
borax, and dissolve in one and one
half cups of cold water. The shirts
must not be previously starched, and
they must be perfectly dry. Dip the
cuffs, collars, bosoms and neck bands,
in the starch, then roll up tight in a
dry cloth, and let them lie two hours.
Then rub off and iron. They will be
like pasteboard and have a nice
gloss.

of the yolks through a sieve on to
the toast. Repeat this, and finish
with third layer of sauce. Place in
the oven for about three minutes.
Garnish with parsley, and serve.

Arbor Day was more generally cele-
brated by members of the Oranges in
many States than ever before. In sew
eral States the Masters of the State
Grange issued an official proclamation
offering suggestions for the observa-
ton of the day. Thus through or
gained effort many thousand of trees
have been planted. Along the road
sides, around school-houses and about
the homes of farmers. A spirit of i'm
provement has been stimulated, a love
of the beautiful and ornamental cult
waited, and the great work the Grange
has in view of upbuilding and improv-
ing the condition of the American
farmer in every way has been ad-
yanced. Outside farmers noticing
these practical applications of Grange
teachings, these actions that speak
louder than words, are coming more
and more to see in it one of their
greatest helps towards success.
A few other illustrations of practical
work of the Grange in a business way
will tend to prove that farmers are
able in an organized capacity to look
after their own interests in an econom-
ical and satisfactory manner. The
Southern Cultirdtor says: Here is what
the Grange has done in Randolph
county: Ii has saved TO Changers and
planters around Shellman alone be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 in the pur-
chase of fertilizers for the year 1888.
So writes Bro. Tison. The people will
vet see that great deal Of good can
come out of cooperative action. The
secretary of Brooksville Grange writes
us that his Grange has saved from 20
to 60 per cent in the purchase of farm
supplies for the present year. Our
Harris county Changers have bought
500 tons of fertilizers for the present
wear. Their cooperation exists not
only in the purchase of guanos, but
in every other farm supply, and 1t
gives them an influence and power
which dealers, manufacturers and leg
islators respect. 1t is well TO remem-
Der that in union there is strength.
