AGRICULTURAL.
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Br-rRoDUCrs OF THE BARRY.


Just how to make profit out of the
by-products of the dairy is often the
question that settles the point of actual
profit in the dairy. There are several
ways pointed out by the writers, includ,
ing skim cheese, feeding it to calves and
to pigs. The latter of these methods has
proven the most profitable with the gen
erality of dairymen, who have learned to
iced 1t to the growing pig in preference
to the grown hog, Sows in pig do well
on it, and IT the skim milk is necessarily
sour then this latter lis bv far the best
plan. There is, however, the old COW to
take into consideration here. She is as
tond OF her own product rs any other
animal, as is often witnessed to the own
ers loss when she sucks herself If fed
to her with proper mixture of other
materials, it is our belief that skim milk
Will make ~ better return to .he dairy
man in this way than in any other

A Farmer Doy.

There has been great deal of poetry
written about him, says the Boston
Times.
He has been matle O hero, and an ex-
ample of all that is bright and attrao-
tive
His life has been glorified and ideal
lied as the one perfect life
Writer'S who have done this have not
told the truth
The farmers boy would not recog-
nize himself in the pictures drawn OF
him by poets.
He Is honest, he is innocent, he is
verdant, but he is no fool.
The nearest he approaches to being
one. in nine cases out of ten, is when he
leaves the country aud comes to the
city In order to prosper more rapidly.
1t is for better for him to be honest,
innocent and verdant than to be dishon-
est, learned in all that is evil and cor
rupt.
But it cannot be wondered at that he
grows rostive. He iises with the sun,
works from one co two hours before
breakfast, and then in the field all day
long, and finishes mi king just about
sunset. 1t is q hard days work, and a
man who can see poetry in it would
soon revise his thoughts should he do
such days work himself.
He knows that he is awkward in his
movements, peculiar in his manner of
speech, ard not as we'll informed as
the city boy.
But he has feelings, and is sensitive
of all these, and gradually grows to
feel that he is an object of mirth and
derision for people from the city. He
naturally resents this, aud grows to
feel hard toward such people.
His pleasures are few, and consist
principally of going to the country
store on Saturday evening. whero he
meets tie 9TH boys, very like himself
In feelings and actions.
He is loud in his jokes and laughter,
and boisterous in talk.
But he is honest.
He is also really bright, and people
who would mako him out clown fire.
quently are themselves the ones to he
laughed at.
His chief weakness is his desire tc
SHOW off," He seem to have q very
strong feeling that he must show stran-
gers that he is we'll informed in ull
things of the world, and that he is not
as "green" as they think him.
He gocs about this in a way full of
figured Indifference which is very
amusing.
I But is not this same weakness seen
IN people of the city, although.not In
quite the same form?
His life is hard one and full of dis
couragements.
But it is also practically free from
worry and excitement. 1t i, simple
life, but contains but little poetry, as
said before

SELECTING SEED CORN.

When the planting season arrives a
very large majority of farmers goto their !
cribs or corn houses and exercise some !
little care in selecting fair ears for their |
seed corn. Comparatively few, however,
give the subject any attention previous to
that time A selection of the ears for
seed, while on thestalks where the thrifty |
-cnnditinn Of the plants can be observed |
seld, is far better plan a6n 'N9td n
no argument for its recommendation
The early maturity of the seed ears
+ other things being equal, should cntitl
them to preference, along with plump
ness and ful! development into large
and handsomely shaped ears. If from
stalks producing double ears, take tn,
largest, if well formed, and, as rule
those that grow low, rather than high,
on the stalk. Ears with large cobs should
not be chosen, but rather those of smaller
diameter and with long kernels. Like

BRAN AND OlI.-MEAL.

1t is only in exceptional cases that the
farmer can afford to purchase feed for
stock. Nearly or quite all the food
necessary to keep and fattcn the stock
for market should be raised upon the
farm. But oil-mcal and bran can, in
rearly all cases, lie purchased and fed to
stock with profit, and there are few ma
terials that will add us much to the value
of other materials, or will increase the
value OF the manure to the extent that
this will
1t is not altogether in their value them
selves rs it is in the increased value they
give to other materials in making up
what we may term complete rations that
they can be used with profit.
In order to feed stock during growth
as economically as possible, it is IN item
to lessen the amount of grain fed. Not
that stock can be properly prepared for
market with no grain, but by using bran
and oil-meal in connection with other
materials, the amount of grain can be
materially decreased.
One of the strongest reasons for its
use, especially during the winter, when
stock must depend almost entirely upon
dry food, such as straw, hay, shcaf or
unthrcshed oats, and corn fodder, and
with oil-mcal make up Il ration that will
supply all the elements Of nutrition.
In most localities the better plan is to
secure supply IN the fall sufficient to
last the greater part of the winter. 1t
should be stored in bins OF boxes where
it is reasonably certain to keep dry. If
it can be kept perfectly dry it will keep
in Il good condition for feeding long
time, without dctcriorating in quality,
while it can be secured at less cost at
this time than later.
The best results can be secured if the
feed is cut before mixing the bran straw,
unthrcshed oats, hay and fodder, if run
through cutter, and then Il small guam
tity OF bran and oii-meal is added, very
little grain will be required to keep all
the growing and breeding stock i'm good
condition, and especially so if a comfort
able shelter is provided, in addition :;
and the cost will be considerably less
than if grain must be supplied.
When fattening stock, grain must be
largely depended upon to finish fer mar
ket. And with these two materials, used
in connection with dry, rough feed. the
stock will require but Il light feed of
grain; and in majority Of cases the less
grain icl the lower the cost Prairie

Soap Bubbles That VIII Last.

To make soap bubbles that will last
for several hours is easy enough if the
following liquid be used:
Dissolve one part by weight of Mar
seilles soap, cut into thin slices. iii
forty parts Of distilled water, aud fl
ter. Call the filtered liquid A, and
mix two parts of pure glycerine with
one part of the solution A, in tenn
perature of sixty-six degrees Fair,
and, after shaking them together long
and violently, leave them to rest for
some days. A clear liquid will settle,
with turbid one above. The lower 10
be sucked out from beneath the upper
with siphon, taking the utmost care
not to carry down any of the latter TO
mix with the clear fluid.
A bubble blown with this will last
for several hours, even in the open air
Or the mixed liquid, after standing
twenty-four hours, may be filtered.

TRICK IN CHANGE.
Dodge OF New York Street Car Conduc-
tors to Get Coin.

Dodge OF New York Street Car Conduc-
tors to Get Coin.
4 neat trick Is now played by
street-car conductors. If you pass a
5O-cent piece to one Of them it is Of
course his duty to hand you back As
cents. If you are a careless man
you are not apt to count this change,
but drop it quickly into your pocket
and go on reading a newspaper.
But suppose you do count the
money and find that it amounts to
only 40 cents? You call the atten-
ton of the conductor to the def
cheney.
What" he exclaims; lust let me
see that money"
You empty it back into his out
stretched hand, and he slides it over
his palm with the fingers of the
other hand.
/ make it forty five" he remarks,
contemptuOusly.
And sure enough there is the right
amount. But the truth is that he
has added a nickel to the money
when he spread it out on his palm.
lie keeps 1t ready for the purpose.
Probably nine men out of ten will
drop change into their pockets with
out counting it, but when the tenth
man turns up the conductor is pre-
pared for him, and not only makes
himself out an honest fellow, but
let's the whole car know just how
much more worthy he is than the
wel1-dressed passenger who goes
about insinuating against his flaw
less integrity. You cannot by any
means catch one of these dishonest
conductors, but it is good plan to
count your change, so as to enjoy
the little farce that they so deity
play.-New York Sun.

PAYING THE BONDS.

The advertisement of the Minister
OF Finance that he is prepared tc
purchase and cancel Hawaiian Gov
eminent bonds to the amount OF
one hundred thousand dollars, is an
event of more than passing interest
The money wherewith to take NJ
these bonds comes, of course, from
the Postal Savings Bank. When we
remember the million dollars of
bonds, payable principal and in
terest in gold, which were issued to
the Spreckels combination, and
silver coin of a bullion value of
something over eighty cents received
for the same at par and when we
think Of the London loan, with its
extravagant commissions and pick
ings, legal and illegal, the true his
tory of which has never been writ
ten and probably never Will be, we
realize that we have entered upon a
new era. Should the Postal Savings
continue to pile up at the same rate
as for the last few months, it will
only take three or four years to pay
up our entire bonded debt.
The payment Of the bonds before
they are due, Will depend on the
Willingness Of the bond holders TO
surrender their securities and take
the money. The present indications
are that they Will do nothing of the
KIND. The latest quotations of Ha-
Wauan Government bonds. both here
and abroad, were something above
par. The knowledge that the Trea-
sury IS in position to begin their
redemption and is DESTROYS of doing
so, will naturally give an additional
upward tendency. Should it be
found upracticable to obtain the
bonds a; par, which is, we suppose.
the only rate at which the Govern
mont has any authority to pay them.
the matter will have to go over until
the next session of the Legislatures
meanwhile, a temporary stringencv
OF the money market, or some other
cause may bring the price down to
par or even little below.
