Picnic.

The only sign of lite that was man.
ifest in Owosso on the ever memoir
able 4th was at the picnic given by
the fourth ward Sunday school in the
grove adjacent the school grounds.
AT an early hour in the afternoon
the friends Of the school, with their
families, could be seen, with we'll
filled baskets, vending their way to
the picnic grounds, until the
grove seemed to be alive with smil-
ing, happy faces all intent on enjoy
ing themselves, which they did, es
pecially when the tables were spread
with everything the heart could wish.
The hours passed away pleasantly with
music, songs and few short talks by
those interested. AS the crowd dis
persed for home in the early evening
all felt the afternoon had been spent
most pleasantly and wished for the
return of many such events.
On Sunday at the school resolu-
ton was adopted instructing the Sec
rotary to make record of the event.

Gil chamber, for the purpose of
placing in nomination a candidate

the candidate should come from

out the district was never stronger or
more united than at present. This
is good Republican year in the 9Th

Choice OF a Dairy Farm.
American Agrieulturist.


Some OF the best fancy diaries are found
near the large cities, upon light and in
ferior soils which are unfit for pastures
and permanent meadows, but which are
made to produce heavy crops of roots, fod-'
der corn, clover, orchard grass, millet,
mixed peas and oats. and other kinds of
fodder; and which, by the aid of the prac-
tice of ensilage, are made to support, in
many cases, one COW or more to each acre
the year round. In some localities man.
ure from the cities and special fertilizers
are procured to aid In keeping these light
lands in the highest state of fertility; so
tAat, on the whole, ii may be said that, in
choosing q dairy farm, the experienced
dairynan Is not bound by any circum'
stances, but may safely take the best
locality for his purpose, a favorable loca-
ton being of the greatest concern 70 him.
In general, however the dairyman would
safely choose a moderately level farm,
well watered, having a somewhat firm clay
loan soil, lying in compact shape, with
a convenient spot near the center OF 1t for
his buildings and as near to railroad
depot as possible. If there is permanent
cool spring upon it, ii would be q great adj
vantage, and IL the spring is located near
the DIV cling, and convenient place for
the n.Iik-house, it would be still better.

Engiith Shire Horses I'm America,
American AoricuIturist

4 valuable addition has been made to the
general stock of heavy draft horses in the
United States by the importation of En-
elish Shire horses. In common with other
breeds of English draft horses they are
believed to have descended from the heavy
Flemish race. In the middle ages, when
the knights and their horses went into
battle, clad in heavy steel armor, these
ponderous horses were largely used for
military purposes When defensive armor
was laid aside, In consequence of the gen.
ersl use of firearms, the heavy horses were
relegated TO the pursuits of peaceful indus
try. They had become widely scattered
through the British islands and the CONT
nent. In England several quite distinct
breeds have sprung from the original
stock. The ShIres have their home in
Yorkshire and other eastern counties,
whence their name. The original color
was black, but as they were crossed with
Clydesdale and other draft breeds, various
colors became common, and great improve
ment resulted. The Shire horse of the
present day combines the best qualities of its
own and other,breeds of heavy draft horses,
while the fiat fine bone seen in some of the
bests specimens even suggests an occasional
dash Of thoroughbred blood. Having
attained its purpose, this system of cross
ing has now ceased, a stud-book is NJ aim
tanned, and the Shires are bred strictly
pure.

such guide and convenience And how
many kept such memoranda in 1887 ss,will
enable them to tell the expense of each
crop grown? And how about the domestic
animals2 If you keep cows, what have
they paid you per head in the aggregate?
And what of the sheep, swine, and even
the ckickens2 How much did each con-
tribute to your income, and which was the
most profitable2 Those who can answer
these pertinent questions must be well adj
vised in regard to their financial position,
and need no admonition; but we fear many
are utterly unable to give any detailed &C.
count of their farming operations, or
whether the balance Is on the right or
wrong side OF the ledger. 1t is needless to
say that such management would soon
wreck almost any commercial enterprise,
and hence the frequent complaint that
EARNING don't pay" is not Surprising.
What we write is intended 10 be suggestive
rather than admonitory. Keep an accurate
account Of your doinRs, and you will not
only be wiser, but ere long richer in con-
sequence. In fact, resolve that you will
know how you stand at the close OF 1888,
whoever may meantime have been elected
President of the Republic or Governor of
your Commonwealth.

lures q great deal OF discomfort when they
have to keep up an incesssnt scratching.
The ''cull" sweet potatoes may be used
for feeding the pigs, but they rapily pro.
mote the formation of fat. The proper
mode OF feeding them is to boil them, mix
with ground grain, and feed on alternate
days as a change.
q days ration for q sheep in winter has
been calculated at two pounds of hay, one
pound of straw and one pound OF bran,
but as large sheep eat more than smaller
ones, something must be allowed for size
and peculiarities of breeds.
Never in the history of breeding and
feeding domesticsted stock OF every de-
scriptioD, says the Rural Wo-ld, has there
been manifested so perceptible and so
marked an anxiety to know how to feed
judiciously and effectively as at the pres
emit time.
Formerly DR.. Sturtevant had considered
breed as inferior to feed, but after six
years work in the experiment station he
has made up his mind that the breed is
the more important. He also says that in
those six years he had never been able to
change the quality OF butter by changing
the food,
