AN article in the last number of the
Revue DIES Deun Mondes, attributed to
the Due de Broglie, is exciting much
attention in France and Germany. The
writer argues that the political status
of France is not calculated to tempt
the foreign powers to court an alliance
with her, and that the absence of any
community of interests is an insuper-
able obstacle to Franco-Russian alli-
ance. NJ. la Just indorses these views
and protests strongly against an alli-
ance with Russia.

How to Raise Colts.

A breederof fine horses communicates
to Turf, Field and Farm his plan for
raising colts that is worthy of being fol-
lowed: 1.-THE brood mare, after foaling,
is fed literally on grain. When the
flies are bad she is sheltered during the
heat of the day and is given the range
of sufficient pastures at night. When
the air is chilly she is housed at night
and is turned out during the day. Each
mare is put in box at feeding time so
that she may enjoy her oats in peace.
If the grain is put into troughs out in
the pasture there will be serious Scrim-
images for it. In every band there are
two or three mares that want to rule,
and at feeding time they rush from
trough to trough and keep everything in
a ferment. The grain is hastily swal-
lowed, and there is danger of the colts
getting Injured by kicks. The foai will
begin eating grain when two weeks old,
and if the mother is fed in quiet place
the baby will have more inclination as
we'll as time to nose in the trough itself.
AT five months old the fOal is weaned
and it goes for the winter into sunny
and sheltered yard used exclusively for
weanlings. At night two colts occupy
one box, and during the day the whole
band enjoys the bright and bracing
weather. Each is fed oats in a separate
box, and is given plenty of good hay,
and gathering in a band for exercise
promotes cheerfulness and aids diges-
ton. All this requires thought and at
ton, but it pays in the long run.

Good for Farmers Also.

During the past ten years our farm
products have declined in price fully
50 per cent; this has been caused largely
by competition with the rest of the
world, AYERS the Farm, Stock and
Home. In the meantime farm wages
have not declined to an extent
worth mentioning. 1t is urged
that if manufacturers have to compete
with the world their labOrers will be
compelled to work for almost nothing:
why? Has this country great facilities
for farming than for manufacturing?
Farmers are magnanimous, they know
how hard it has been for them
to sell products at half price
and still pay the same rates
of wages, and they don't pro-
pose to subject the poor manufacturers
to the same Ordeal-at least some farm
ers don't. This is too awfully good IN
the farmers, it won't give them any
treasures on earth, but it will make
them mlllionaires in heaven. Some
farmers, however, assure us that they
propose to try for little earthly lucre.

ANSWERS TOINQUIRERS
About Varieties of Plants and the
Sort of Care They Require.

About Varieties OF Plants and the
Sort of Care They Require.
Special Letter to the Globe.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, Sept. II. - Mrs.
H, Kenyon, Mimi: You ask about
the caadium and the treatment re-
quired. There are several varieties of
these ornamental plants, and the treat
ment is about the same. Caladium
esculentum is the largest-growing of
these plants, and, if my memory has not
failed NE, it is native of Cuba, where
it grows upon the hillsdeS, and its large
leaves often serve for the umbrella of
the colored people when caught out in
rain storm and the leaves are within
reach. One writer describes scene
that he witnessed of a
PROCESSION OF SLAVES
returning from their work in the field,
each one having one of the immense
leaves over his or her head, with a large
stream of water pouring off from the
end of the leaves, being a comical sight
which any one could appreciate who had
once seen the monster leaves of this
plant, sometimes three feet long and
two feet wide, and long-pointed at that.
Escutentum tells us the plant is edible,
The bulbs often grow very large and
are used as food. Sometimes We are
told they take the place of the potato,
and from them delicate food for the
sick is produced.
During the fashion for very large
leaves and large flowers in our gardens,
this plant formed the center plant of
the circular flower bed, and many other
smaller-leaved caladiums in great vari-
ETY., with plain green, or variegated
leaves, planted around the central plant,
formed
A TROPICAL ASPECT
that was quite unique in our cool coun-
try. Some of the variegated varieties
were small in leaf. and very bright in
coloring, rivaling many of the coleii in
brilliancy of coloring.
In this climate these plants must be
started into growth about the LIST of
March, in gOods soil, and slightly
watered until they are well started into
growth. and must be kept warm all the
time, giving more and more water as
they advance in growth, using warm
water on them. A very large flower pot
or large wooden pail may be used in
house culture. for these plants require
a long growing season and extreme
heat to bring them into
PERFECTION OF GROWTH,
so that our short summers do not give
them time to grow. If planted out on
the lawn the soil must be warm and it
must have all the sun it can get all
through the season, and when cut down
by the frost it must be taken up and
kept where no frost can reach tt. 1t
may be potted and kept in the sitting
room with other flowers, but should not
be forced into growth until spring APP
proaches. The best satisfaction OBJ
tanned from these plants in this climate,
or anywhere North, is to cultivate as
house plant, and even then one wants
large ebay" window and good coal
fire to give sufficient heat and lengthen
the warm season out. They never bear
more than three or four leaves at a
time-and this applies to all q those
plants so far as / now recOllect.

and thus grow into good herd,
than to keep on year after year
raising runts that do not pay their keep.
Even the cows of the country could be
improved with proper care, yet how
many farmers have we who ever take
any pains to secure the services of
thoroughbred of dairy breed, and
thus make the most of what we have to
do with? We have few farmers who
take pains to get good stock, and we
have yet to see one who has gone to
work intelligently,who will not tell you
that he is making money. 1t requires
brains, just as it requires brains to
manage any business successfully. 1t
full breeder that it does to make sim
pie wheat-raiser, but your simple
wheat-raiser is never
YOUR SUCCESSFUL FARMER.
and If any man has an idea that sue
cessful farmer can be made without
brains. there is right where he makes
his grand mistake. But, you say. does
it not require some capital, as well, to
start big stock farm? 1t certainly
does require capital to build up fine
dairy herd IN a year or so, but it does
not require so much as one would think
to improve upon the cows that you al
ready have, and all that one need to do
is to exercise the very same care in re-
lation to his cows that he does with his
horses, to work very marked improve
ment upon the herds of the country
in few years. What would you
think of man who would rather use a
scrub sire at S. than thoroughbred
horse that would cost him S25 to $50?
You would say at once that he was
either an idiot or crazy, and yet how
many really intelligent farmers are
there who use no better judgment with
their cows? If the principle of thor
Oughbred horses is good for anything,
the same holds good with cows, and the
expense is far less, never exceeding s..
Cows that will make two pounds of but
ter per day are not uncommon cows in
this age of Improvement, yet how
many of such cows can be
found in Polk county? how many
farmers are there in Polk county who
have ever patiently and intelligently
tried to obtain such cows? How many
are there who, by actual test, can tell
what
EACH INDIVIDUAL. cow
in his herd pays him per year? If you
ask that question in relation to his
horses, probably nine-tenths of our
NOulU SifO JOu oi
and practical answer. Why should not
the farmer require his cows to give an
account of themselves, just as
much as he does his horses?
In the present age of sharp
competition every animal produced
upon the farm must be of the very best
to pay a proper dividend, and the COW
is certainly no exception to the general
rule. That the farmer who raises scrub
cows is fooling away his time and money
has been so often demonstrated that
the wonder is that any can be found
content to plod along in the old rut
without care or thought for improve
ment; and yet there are, and these very
men furnish examples that you hear
quoted when you hear the expression,
"There is no money in stock" The eX-
perience of every Intelligent breeder in
the United States shows that there is
money in stock only when intelligently
handled.

Cost of Keeping Small, and There
Are But Few Unfav0rabIe Con-
ditions.
Sheep in Montana and Dakota are
kept, it is affirmed, for 80 cents year
per head. This means in large fiocks,
of course, upon the ranges. But even
upon the farms they are kept very
cheaply. There is very little disease
among sheep in these territories.
Naturally this would be expected.
1t has often been said that the
pure, bracing atmosphere of these sec
lions unquestionably adds to human
longevity, and the atmosphere that is
good for human being is good for an
animal. The system of sheep husbandry
in the territories has changed somewhat
of late years. A few years ago Mon
tana experienced severe winter
and many sheep were lost. But even
now the arrangements for such
emergencies are usually of the cheapest
kind. Hence the cost of keeping sheep
there is very small. Running out all
winter ordinarily, the flocks keep in eX-
cellent health. 1t is the country for
sheep. No doubt of that; and if the
time should come when we cannot raise
sheep or grow wool in the East or Mid
die West the sheep interests in the ter
ritOrieS will increase rapidly.

Not Special Dispensation.

A Wisconsin dairyman uttered a preg-
nant truth when he remarked at meet
ing of dairymen that sit was not by a
special dispensation of Providence that
a certain farmer received S9S per
head for the yearly products of
his cows, while his next door
neighbor received only $50 per
head" $50 it is not a special act of
Providence" remarked Henry Stewart,
that OIL one side of the fence the corn
yields eighty bushels per acre, and the
hay three tons, while on the other side
the products are thirty bushels of corn
and barely ton of hay" An enterpris-
ing farmer said that he cut his second
crop of clover, which yielded full ton
per acre, and his neighbor wondered
how it was. The secret is that this
farmer used plaster on his clover, be-
cause he uses fertilizers literally as
well as manure. The rains fall on all
alike, but the better farmer gets the
most good from the rain and the sun
because he prepares and enricheS the
ground better, and so gives the nature
elements better chances to exert their
benign influence.

Barley a Good Crop.

One of the agricultural writers in
Minnesota says barley is crop that
might take the place of wheat on thou
sands OF Minnesota acres to good adj
vantage. Tie home market for the
barley is not supplied. We do not raise
a surplus. On the contrary 1885, 875
bushels were imported into the United
States in 1887. Besides this there were
3I4, 2SS bushels of prepared barley and
malt imported the same year. The
farmer is protected by duty of 10 cents
a bushel on barley, and about 80 per
cent OH the preparations of it.
