FAR NJ NOTES.

It is not good plan to mate all the
breeding hens too early, especially
when there is considerable number OF
young stock, or until the steadiest and
best laying hens can be determined.
OF the $4,000. 900 or more of cattle in
the United States, Texas is estimated to
have 4.72j,053, the value of which
reaches the sum of 66.5ls, $50. There
are more cattle in Texas than in any
other State, but in value New York,
Illinois and Iowa lead.
Every farmer is interested in good
roads. None but experienced road
overseers should be selected. and the
tax required for road repair, If properly
applied, is money well invested. Good
roads save valuable horses and avoid
loss Of time by the farmer.
Most every farmer is aware of the
fact that sheep must be fat to make
the best mutton, but few conceive the
idea that properly and well.fed sheep
produces more and better wool than
one poorly fed and cared for. Wool is
product from feeding, just the same
as fat or flesh, and the flock should be
fed and managed with view to wool
growth, and that OF fine quality.
The disposition Of swine Is to pile up
in cold weather, and the warmer we can
keep it underneath them the less liable
they are to do this, and unless they can
be prevented from doing it TO great
extent disease is much more liable to
break out among them.
1t Is too early yet for spring pigs
The young pigs are easily stunted by
severe cold, and unless they have
very warm place but few Of them will
survive. The brood SOW must also be
fed literally while nourishing them
April is soon enough for the spring pigs
As to the quality of food to be fed We
cannot lay down rule. II the swine
are in the fattening stage they should
have all they will eat up clean. II they
arc growing animals they should have
enough to keep them steadily growing.
In no event should they be overfcd.
II the fruit trees are split by frost a
good plan is TO heat grating wax,
spread II over piece Of muslin and
place over tho wound, tying in place
with strips Of the same material
wrapped around tho tree The strip
covered with wax should bo sufficiently
large TO entirely cover the wound

HER ANSWER.

fhe question long had been upon my fps;

She did not falter. though her.voice was low;
The answer that she made was simply: mo.
She did not look upon me with surprise;
She did not from my glance avert her eyes;
But In her cheeks / saw the roses glow
As she with gentle armness answered: mo.
She used no trick or artitice with me;
She did not say sister she would be,
And no confusion did the maiden show
As to my question she responded: NO"

Instructive Manner.
There is an ancient legend that orce
upon time there were three flies.
Two of the flies were foolish and liable
to be deceived, but the third fly read
the papers regularly, and was conse-
quently difficult insect to delude. The
first fly, observing the beautiful color
and the delicious fragrance OF some
genuine golden sirup, tried a little OF
it on his batter-cakeS, so to speak. 1t
tasted very nice, indeed, but it had
been adulterated with prussic acid,
aud the consequence was the fly soon
began to complain Of general debility,
accompanied by sensation Of nausea.
learned physician was called in, and
he very soon discovered that the un-
happy insect was suffering from an in
famed condition of the mucous MEM
brane; also that the coats OF
the stomach were very much
frayed at the edges, and needed
u new lining. The careful
physician prescribed a mild sedative
and expectorant in the shape OF a
volatile tincture Of guiacum mixed
with alkaline extract Of jalap, ealcined
magnesia and muriatiC acid, mixed
well. and to be taken three times
day. Under ordinary circumstances
this ought to have effected complete
| cure, or, at least, greatly modified the
nervous indigestion and incipient
chlorosis from which the fly was suf-
fering, but unfortunately, as the
golden sirup had been aduitoratcd NY
the grocer, just so the ingredients of
the prescription had boon adultcrntcd
by the druggist The result was that,
| instead Of producing the desired effect,
the prescription threw the unhappy
fly into cpiicptic fits, accompanied by
the most alarming symptoms, which
finally degrnoratcd into whooping
cough and cancer, causing the patient
to collapse suddenly Of rheumatic

are now over 400 agricultural schools
and colleges in Germany. The same
system is found in France and other
European States. As . result of this
thorough system Of agricultural educa-
ton among the peasants, the yield per
acre Of land in Europe has been gradu-
ally increasing, while in the United
States statistics show it is gradually
decreasing. The statistics as to the
condition Of the agricultural classes in
the United States points to the absolute
necessity of their being better educated.
The census OF 1880 brought out the
fact that in the decade 1850 to 1860. the
farmers were one-half OF the popula-
tion, and had increased the productive
wealth during the 10 years 101 per
cent, and that they owned just one.
half of the wealth of tho entire coun-
try. In 1880 they were still nearly one.
half Of the population, but during the
decades 1860 to 1880, they had only in
creased their productive wealth 8 per
cent, instead of 10l cent. as from 1850
to 1860. showing loss of 92 per cent.
in 20 years. Also in 1880, they, as a
class. only owned one-fourth of the en-
tire wealth Of the country, instead Of
one-half, as in 1860. 1t is even worse
than this, for much of the land OF far
mers is mortgaged. This mortgage in
the States of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota. Ne
braska, Kansas and Missouri is esti-
mated at SO, 422, 900, 900, and it is no.
torious fact now that land in these
States has greatly deprecated in value,
and the farm lands of the New Eng
land States and New York very much
of late. To put it in different shape, in
the 20 years, 1860 to 1880. the farmers
added to the agricultural wealth OF the
entire United States S4,122, 5ss. 4s7,
they composing about one-half of the
entire population. During this 20 years
the other half OF the population (not
farmers) added to the wealth of the
country s23,359, 794,s54. or nearly 500
per cent. more than the farmers made.
This shows ut least lack of compar-
alive prosperity with the farming
classes, and this is the reason so many
farmers and their children are quitting
the farms and engaging in more lucra-
tive pursuits. This accounts. too, for
the rapid building up of cities and cor
porations. This is why 22 per cent. Of
our population is to be found in towns
and cities in 1883. while only per cent,
lived in towns and cities in 1900.
The great progress now being made
in the world has brought about new
conditions, which affect the farmers.
For instance, the facility and cheap
ness of transportation, has done away
with all local competition. In 1880 it cost
lS cents to transport bushel of grain
from the West to New York, or from
New York to Liverpool. Now it costs
about two cents. So thrifty farmers in
any country have not only to compete
with each other. bat with thrifty far
mers in the West, and, in fact, all over
the world. Skill and invention have
brought down prices in all products,
including farm products. The farmer,
therefore, must be educated and be-
come more skilled. or he will be at the
mercy Of other calliugs. S. d. LEE.
