| mention these facts that, while
the farmer has the prospect Of get
ting ahead this year, which will un.
doubleday leave him with large
surplus of feed to market, it viii wei
repay him to investigate the market
ing of his surplus. The object Of
this article being to call the atteu'
ton to the dairy business as practiced
by few farmers In Bedford Coun
ty, near Bellbuckle, and in Viii
son County, near Lebanon. These
farmers, Il few years ago, built
creamery at each of these places
and now have reliable market for al.
the milk they can produce, at protita-
BILE prices. They claim better results
from making milk than any other proc.
ess of farming. They estimate that an
average COW will produce from $65 to
$40 per year, and that the average cost
of keep will not exceed $50. This gives
a net profit of 100 per cent They are
paid twice per month for their milk,
which gives them cash when it is most
needed.
There are several localities in Mid.
die Tennessee whore the creamery can
be made to pay, and with the present
prosperity of the farmers, they should
investigate this new industry and build
creameries, thereby adding another
medium through which to market their
surplus provender
A creamery and cheese factory for
making butter and cheese can be built
and equipped at a cost of $500 or
$4,000. If farmers will cooperate and
build these factories, it can be done at
a small cost to each, and be of great
benefit to the community in which it is
built. A trip to Bellbuckle or Lebanon
will convince the most skeptical that
the creamery as an adjunct to farming
in Tennessee is a great blessing, and
should be encouraged, and introduced
into every county in the State. Cor.

THE SECRET OF HEALTH.
A Lesson Taught by the Useful Life o
the Late DIR. Clarke.

the Late DIR. Clarke.
No one who knew him would say
that DIR. Clarke was robust man, but
there were few well men who could do
more work than he did, or could do it
with less expenditure of nervous en-
ergy. He was the man of all the men
We have known who always had
strength for an emergency. He was
never idle, never hurried, and yet one
who knew his habits and was acquaint-
ed with what he accomplished, and
was in the habit of measuring the man
by what he did, would always be sur
prised by the amount of work that
passed through his hands. He was
once asked what was the secret of his
tireless energy and great accomplish
ment, The reply was instantaneous,
and the assuring smile of one who feels
that he has satisfactory answer
spread over his features, us he said:
81 have never been in a hurry; | have
always taken plenty of exercise; |
have always tried to be careful, and l
have taken all the sleep that needed. ="
These were his health rules; and,
while his contemporaries one by one
succumbed to ill-health and early dis
appeared, the veteran till less than two
years ago was in comparatively strong
health and could do his work with ap-
parent ease. When he broke down he
was like the Zone Hoss Shay cele-
brated by his friend and classmate,
DR.. Holmes; he seemed to go all at
once, as il the machinery of his
physical system were worn out. He
made the most of his life, because he
made the most of the conditions which
are the foundations of splendid physic-
al health. He knew from the first
how TO take care of himself His rules
were as rigidly observed as the laws of
the Modes and Persians, and his
obedience to them gave him nearly
eighty years of active and helpful life.
He never wasted his energy. He
never lamented that he could not do
the impossible. He was an idealist
who, within the limits of what could
be done. worked with all his might I'll
his working days were over.-Chris-

the safe. So he put the key in a safe
place, at the bottom of the waste

velopes and scraps of paper. 1t was
safe enough there, but how was | to

STORING GLOVER HAY.
Tho Cheapest Winter Food for All Kinds
of Farm Stock.

Tho Cheapest Winter Food for All Kinds
of Farm Stock.
Glover hay should never be scattered
out of the swath, because In addition
to the labor in scattering and again
raking up, the hay is thereby greatly
injured. If the weather be favorable
for curing, neither timothy nor any
other kind of hay should be scattered,
because the less any grass is exposed to
the sun in the process of curing the
greater will be the value of the hay and
the less labor required.
Let the clover lie in the swath UNI
touched until about two thirds of the
upper part is sufficiently cured, then turn
the swath bottom upward with fork,
and let it then lie exposed to tho sun
until this side is cured. Clover hay will
keep with less drying than almost any
other grass. A common test is to take
up bunch of hay and twist it; if no
juice exudes the hay may be hauled in
with safety. We have often hauled in
clover cut in the morning, in the even
ing, and always the next day, unless
prevented by bad weather. Sprinkling
every layer of hay with salt, or inter-
posing layer of good, dry straw from
six to eight inches thick, between every
two layers of clover of the same thick
ness, will be found a great preserva-
tive; it will enable the farmer to put
up hay in u far greener state than
could be otherwise done with safety.
Besides this advantage, the straw in
terposed between the layers of hay, by
absorbing its juices, win be rendered
much moro valuable as provender, and
if salt be spriukled on the hay, the
straw, absorbing the juices of the hay
and salt, will be greedily consumed
both by cattle and horses.
From the great quantity of thisgrass
produced on an acre, its highly nutri-
tive quality, the case with which it is
cut and cured, farmers will find that
clover hay is the cheapest food on
which they can keep their stock in
good order during the winter. If put
up in good order during the summer,
sheltered from bad weather, and salt
ed, both horses and cattle will keep m
good order on it alone throughout the
winter. without the aid of grain, UNI
less when worked.
The farmer must be blind TO his own
interest who does not take care to pro-
/ vide himself with at least as much
clover as will furnish an abundant sup
| ply of feed for his stock. Clover
should be cut for hay when about one
! half the heads have become of q
brown color; If cut earlier, It is be-
! lieved the hay will not be so nutri-
I tious: If later. the stems will have be-
come harder and the grass be on the
decline. For hogs, however, and
young stock. it will be advisable to cut
some as soon as it is in full bloom;
when cut in this state and sailed, hogs
are very fond of it and it is believed
might be chiefly wintered on it, if 9TH
erwise carefully protected from in
element weather. At all events. by
the use Of it as a food for hogs in part,
a great saving OF corn NAV be effected.

CARE OF CALVES.
Humane Way of Teaching tho Little
Things How to Drink.

Things How to Drink.
Some time since you published a
letter from correspondent in which
he gave his plan for, teaching calves
to drink. The point of it was to let
them go until they were hungry
enough to drink. Hunger would fetch
them in time. This advice troubled
the writer at the time, but was for
gotten until he began to see the
article copied in other papers, far and
wide.
Now, in this year of our Lord 1888,
| beg that you will allow me to protest
against such cruelty to young calves.
1t is altogether unnecessary. 1t will
injure the calf, and hence, of course,
the farmer 1t is wicked. How could
the writer of that article sit down to a
good meal and enjoy it with those
poor little newborn calves starving in
the barn? He had no moral right TO
cause them suffering just to save him
self little trouble. | do not believe
he ever stopped to think just how that
would look in print. | must say hope
this writer is one of those who do not
practice what they preach.
Your correspondent has raised scores
of calves by hand, and has always
been able to teach them to drink with
out first starving them. An arrange
ment was made to hold the pail OF
milk. 1t was, as nearly us ! can de-
scribe it, box just large enough to
| put the pail in, with four legs under
it, two of them shorter than the others,
so as to tip the pail over little, just
right for the calf to drink out of.
Then three braces were put on, one to
each side and one to the rear, so that
no bunting or struggling could upset
the affair. used at first to have some
one hold the pail at just the right
height. Then the idea came why not
make q holder? 1t was soon done,
and no milk was spilled after that, and
there was no waiting for any one to
help feed the calves.
Well, the warm milk being in the
pail, in the holder, l got the calf to
suck my finger; then quietly got one
leg on each side of its neck and worked
it's head into the mill1-pail. AS soon
as it began to get milk, sucking my
finger, | slowly worked the finger out
of its mouth. If it stopped drinking
gave it the finger and tried again.
rarely found calf that, with little
patience, could not be taught to drink
the first time. If they could net be
why they had the finger until they got
all the milk they wanted. do mo-
think ever in my life gave up and le
calf go hungry. / could not have
slept well if had. Man has no RICH
to take the little innocent calf away
from its mother, and then, because Of
its utter ignorance it will not go con
trary to nature and drink right out Of
q pail, say to it: go hungry unit
you get ready to drink!' have beer

ticularly obstinate calf to teach t

The Dollar Plant.

A queer little growth makes its APP
pearance in the wire grass country Of
Georgia. 1t is called by the natives
the dollar plant, from the singularity
of its leaves, which are perfectly
round, lying fat upon the ground, and
when full grown are the exact size OF
a dollar. When the plant is pulled up
it is seen that the leaves retain their
perfect roundness from their incipi-
ency, and grow through all the grada-
tons the money takes, from the silver
FIVE cent piece to dimes, quarters,
halves and the coin from which it
takes its name. At this season it
throws out from the center a cluster of
yellow flowers.

AS a rule, too much corn is fed tn c
hens in summer. 1t is just what the y
do not require at this season. If they
have plenty of range, and insect food
is easily obtained, the only grain they
should have is pint of wheat at night
to every twelve hens. More than this
quantity will render them too fat, and
thereby induce disease.
All kinds of soft food should be
fed from troughs or on clean boards
and any portion remaining over after
the fowls have had their meal should
be removed, but whole grains should
never be fed from a trough or hopper
but scattered over the ground, so as tC
induce the hens to hunt for them, and
thereby scratch and exercise.
