| 10 Keep cash week his income within his
expenditures In some branches of farm
ing this must be impossible. But there
Is IN any branch the necessity of such
carefulness as will that whatever the
farmer sells has not ms are been produc-
de at loss.
Economy Is therefore one of the neces-
sary conditions OF success in farming,
and 1t Is mainly economy in trivial mat
fers. The perception of this truth has
msoe farmers as class seem to many
nee alessly careful and penarious- Mere
saving Is not econmy. Nobody should
real'ze this more strongly than farmers
who SOW aud manure literally in hope of
more bounteoUs hsrvests. But there
needs also 10 be wise discrimination
against expenditures of money as invest
mems thai 90 not produce paying re
suits. The largest exp enses OF the farm
canFot easily be curtsiled. They ought
often to be increased in the interest of
future profits. I'm prUvement of farm
stock, UNDERTAKING. and manures all
cost money, but they bring money back
again. It Is the trihiDg expenses that
produce no hing in return thai Will ruin
any business if 100 long continued.
Good farming also demands the close
and constant attention of the owner. or
at least of some one who will as unselfsh
" loOk after the owners interests. MANY
little things are sure to go wrong, if the
owner trusts the management of every
| thing to average hired help. Some peo-
pie attem pt the business of farming when
they have already too many cares of
greater importance that their success is
impossible. The man who puts his hand
TO the pillow above all others mus not
| look back, nor yet sidewise. To do good
work at farming mustademand Quo mau's
entire attention, Eand will ger erBuJ be
more successful if restricted TO what one
man can do himself.

Whisky and Temperance in Kentucky.


There are mssy dlstineries in this part
of the country, and great deal of ~hiskey
Is made. | am not defending whisk key, st
least any that Is less than thirty years
OLD and has attained 8 medical quality.
But want to express my opinion thst
this Is as tenn perate as any region in the
United States. There i widespread
strict temperance sentiment, and even
prohibition prevails 20 q considerable
degree. Whiskey Is made aud stored,
and mostly shipped away; rightly or
wrongly, tits reg.rded as 8 lie gi'imate bust
ness, like wheat raising, aud is conducted
by honorable men. l believe this to be
the truth, and that drunkenness does not
prevail In the ne ighborhuod of distIller-
les, nor did see anywhere in the country
evidence of habit of dram drinking, of
the traditional matter-of- course offering
of whlzkey as hospitality. It Is true
that mint grows in Kentucky, aud that
there are persons who would win the re
spect OF Underwater NIrgiuian In the
connection of ialep. And no doubt in
the mind of born kentuckian there Is a
rooted belief that If person needed 2
stimulaut, the best he can take is old
handmade whiskey. Where the manu-
facture OF whlskey IS the source of so
much revenue, and is carried on With de
corum, of course the public sentiment
abouv it differs from that of & community
that makes its money ia raising potatoes
for starch. Where the horse Is so beanti-
full, feet and profitable of course there
Is intense interest in him, and the general
public take lively pleasure in the rGces;
but if the reader has b. en- accustomed TO
associate this part of Kentucky with
horse racing and drinking as prominent
characteristics, be must :evise his opin-
ion.

Butler county, OHIO, CORES pondent
OF the Country Gentleman writes: | have
often mad calf that it was actually i'm
possible to make drink until it had gone
twenty four hours or more without food.
II calf will not snch your finger or at
tempt to swallow, you can do nothing
but wait. The last ten calves | have
raised | have left with the COWS three
daye, and l have not had particle of
trouble to teach them to drink. Usually
they put their noses in the pail and drink
the first time the mi k is offered to them.
and have concluded that all my former
trouble was occasiOned by taking the
calves from their mothers before they
had been physiced sufficiently by the
"colostrum," and had developed healthy
appetite. | think there is more loss, if
not more cruelty, from the trea ment
calves get after they are taught To drink,
than from starving them to teach them to
drink.
A large per cent. OF the calves raised
by hand are loug-haired, pot-beliied and
uHthrifty, from Irregular feeding, giving
the food in varying quantities, now too
much, then too little; sometimes warm,
and again cold; sometimes rich, and
again mere Cruel, and neglectipg to
furnish coarse food early enough. A
winter calf will begin to eat hay reg ar
" at four weeks old, and will grow and
thrive much better for having 1t. 1t
should have bran or ground oats regular
" after it is a month old, beginning with
a tablespoonful and increasing gradually
until it eats quart at a feed, which it
can safely do at 8 months old, if all
changes in diet ara made gradually.
It is sudden changes in diet and over
feeding that produces scours, and, unless
checked at once, scours vii very soon
ruin the calf. You can detect this trouble
by the smell as soon as you enter the
stable. The stall should at once be
thoroughly cleaned and disInfected, and
the calf put on half rstions of her milk
for day or two. l haze never known
this 10 fail of cure. If you teach the
calf TO eat early, and furnish it a variety
of wholesome food, its milk may be re
duced TO one gallon day at three months
old, and the calf kept thrifty and grow
ing.
