EcOnOm.Zing Labor.

Farmers do not need to run foot races
or practice with dumb bells for exercise
in haying and harvest. The main thing
is to economic muscular action. To
this end horse labor is substituted for
human labor, machinery supplements
manual efforts, and yet the farmer gets
tired. His labor is often wearisOme.
This is too often aggravated by doing
things the wrong way, by unnecessary
expenditure of strength, or by ineffective
methods.
A little thought will often save much
useless expenditure of strength. We
can all smile at the farmer who twice a
day boosted" his calf over a seven-rail
fence to let it suck the COW, and wonder
he had not ''gumption' enough to put
in gate and save his strength, but at
the same time perhaps we have pitched
hay for years upon high wagon with
rack some eighteen inches higher from
the ground than necessary. If so, null
tiply this by the number of forkfuls to
the heap: multiply this product by
the number of heaps to load; multiply
this by the loads hauled year; multiply
this by the number of years you have
used high wagons, reduce it to miles,
and see what an immedse amount of
useless boosting has been done. what a
wealth of time and strength has been
squandered that might have been saved.
There are olher ways of wasting
strength which will come to mind with
proper reflection.

What the Woods Are Worth.

1t may be surprising to learn that in
1880 the estimated value of our forest
sroducts was $500, 900, 900. This is nearly
double that of wheat, more than ten
times that of gold and silver and forty
times that of iron ore. The consump-
tion and destruction of the forest SO far
outruns Its reproductive capacity that
at the present rate the forests will soon
disappear and this enormous product
will end.
Such facts serve to explain the care
of forests in other and older countries.
Every important state in Europe has its
forestry department., which yields net
revenue. Instruction in forestry is
given in forest schools, and in Austria,
Italy and France there is considerable
forest planting. Thirty years ago the
redwood belt of California contained by
sfar the most valuable body of soft tim
Der in the world. But it is doomed by
the manner in which it has been treated,
and nothing can now save its forests
from determination.

POULTRY POINTS.
Lessons Of Experience Gathered
by the st. Louis Republican.

Lessons Of Experience Gathered
by the st. Louis Republican.
Put but little salt and pepper in the
poultry food. Excessive continental
feeding is to be avoided.
If corn is to be fed to young poultry
the better plan is to crack it, rather than
grind into meal.
During the winter care should be
taken to have the nests warm, espe-
.clally if the eggs are to be saved for
Matching.
If from average-sized hens small eggs
are secured, it will often be found that
the hens are too fat.
In raising what are considered fancy
fowls it is not only all item to know how
to raise them by proper mating and
breeding, but also to know how to sell
to the best advantage.
One way of keeping the poultry house
and yard free from unWhOleSome odOrS
is to add a pint of crude carbolic
acid to about ten gallons of water and
sprinkle with a watering pot. When
the weather will permit, Spading up
will often be beneficial.
One item that adds unnecessarily to
the cost of poultry is keeping too many
males, and especially during the win
ter, when most of their food must be
supplied. With fewer males the hens
will lay more eggs, the eggs will keep
better, and there will be less disturb
anee among the poultry. They are use
full only in the latter part OF winter or
early spring.
There is one advantage in keeping
ducks and geese. In addition to the
income from the fowls when they are
ready for market, sufficient amount
can, with little care, be derived from
the feathers to pay we'll for the cost of
feeding. Care must be taken to pick
regularly from early in the spring until
late in the fall. The feathers sell
readily at good prices.
Hens that are from one to three years
old make the best breeders. 1t is not a
good plan to use young pullets nor old
hens. Young, vigorous, we'll matured
stock will. in majority of cases, give
the thriftiest offspring, that will make q
strong, rapid growth.
Experience is a good teacher, even
though it is somewhat expensive. 1t is
an easy matter to figure out on paper
that if ten hens. with good management,
can be made to return profit OF s. 1000
hens can be made to return $500: and
as, under average conditions, 1000 hens
can be purchased for $3.50. it figures out
nice investment. But in great ma
jority of cases this arrangement works
out better before this experience than
afterWard.

this discrimination, and recommending
that all the operators in this district

HAD TO PICK UP THE TYPE
A Printers Devil Delays Four
Long Lines of Street Cars.


Two young and well dressed men.
while walking on Madison street this
morning, were discussing the activity
and business tact displayed by the cit
liens Of Chicago, and one made the re-
mark that if the sidewalk under their
feet should fly up and kill ten people
trade aud traffice would be resumed in
one hour.
why, the patrol wagon comes and
carts the slain away, the morbid crowd
disperses, and everything goes on in
the even tenor of its way"
Just then boy, pushing one Of those
hand carts used by porters and errand
boys, attempted to cross the street
at the corner of Madison street
and Fifth avenue. The pavement
was washed by the ram until the gran
ite stones looked like cheap restaurant
crockery. Little pools of dirty water
and soft mud lay between the network
of track. The boy made rush, but
cruel Fate stood on the corner clapping
her hands and telling the crowd to look
out for fun.
The wheels slipped into rut and
over went the cart and boy. The boy
landed sQuarely in bed of water. The
contents of the cart-tWO forms from
neighboring printing office-were hope
lessly "pied."
The boy scraped off three pounds of
dirt from his clothes and started to pick
up the type. The form was made up
for large "ad" and the type was of
large size. Those who have seen this
corner at 7:30 o'clock in the morning
know how many street cars, teams, and
pedestrians cross the place. Well, that
little boy, wringing wet, shivering, and
shedding pigeon-egg tears just waded
into that puddle with his sleeves rolled
up and lelsurely began to pick up
the type. Soon a long procession of
street cars had gathered on the four
sides of this obstruction, and the blue
oaths and strong words of drivers. con-
ductors, and others went bowling
into the catchbasins. The boy
needed them not. When he picked
up the last display type,
letter G. he turned to the big, burly
driver of Blue Is and avenue car, who
had driven his horses just as close to
the boy as he coulu without injuring the
lad, and remarked: "Well, you can
drive on now. amt got any string ter
yer, hev I?"
The cars disentangled themselves. the
impatient passengere sighed with relief,
and the two young men said in concert:
"Well, if that isn't Chicago boy all
ovari,,
