Every Inch q Man.

She sat on the porch in the sunshine
AS l went down the street
A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blossom sweet,
Making me think of garden,
Where In spite Of the frost and snow
OF bleak November weather,
Late, fragile lilies grow.
l heard the step behind me.
And the sound of a merry laugh.
And knew the heart IL came from
Would be like comforting staff
In the time and hour of trouble,
Hopeful and brave and strong;
One of tho hearts TO lean on,
When we think all things go wrong.
turned at the click of the gate latch,
And met his manly looks,
A face like his gives me pleasure,
Like the pages of pleasant book,
1t told of a steadfast purpose,
OF brave and daring will;
face with promise in it
That, hope, the years fulfil
He went up the pathway singing;
! saw the woman's eyes
Grow bright with wordless welcome,
AS sunshine warns the skies.
"Back again, sweet freart MOTHER"
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was uplfted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to depend on;
1 hold that this is true,
From lads IN love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew
Earth's grandest hearts have been lovir
hearts
Since time and earth began;
And the boy who kisses his mother
Is every inch a man!

The richer the land the more nutri-

abundant. When MANFRED with phos-
phate in the spring, cows will gnaw
the grass down close TO the roots,
while with fresh stable manure rank

Bran is always much lower in price
in large commercial or -four manufac-
turing centcrs. 1t is bulky in proper
ton to its value and thus occupies
more space than millers can we'll
spare, especially when the new wheat
crop is coming in. Early fall is there
fore the best time to buy it, Late in
winter the price always advances. es-
pecially remote from mills. Farmers
might often buy bran with profit if
they would combine and order by the
carload at lowest rates.
Though milk is sold by quantity
there Is great difference in its value.
Occasionally some wealthy family pays
n cent a quart extra for milk OF the
Jersey COW. but the difference in price
does not, il the milk is unadulterated,
represent the difference in nutritive
value. a better way would be TO adopt
the practice in some creameries of
valuing milk by the cream it raises.
Some that is sold in cities by milkmen
would rate pretty poor under such a
ruling, yet it would be only just to the
consumer.

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
The Products Retained on the Farm.

The Products Retained on the Farm.
The value OF crop does not depend
entirely on the market price, but
partly upon tho uses TO which the crop
is applied. A corn crop, il sent TO mar
ket, may bring but little more than tho
cost OF its productions; but it is equiva-
lent to certain amount OF raw mater
ial, which can be converted into some
other product more in demand, such as
beef, mutton, milk, pork or poultry.
Nor can the real value OF the crop be
estimated by the amount received for
the meats sold, as large portion is
left over in the shape OF manure.
Careful experiments have been made
In order to determine the amount of
potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid
left In the manure after the food has
passed through the bodies of animals,
but no certain results can be obtained
owing to the differences in the diges-
tive capacity of animals, though in
trials of two weeks duration, where
both green fodder and grain have been
fed, it was found that 81 per cent. of
all the nitrogen, 80 per cent. of all the
phosphoric acid and 63 per cent of all
the potash remained in the manure.
This shows that the food is only par
TALLY digcsted and assimilated, and
that the value of the crop must be con-
sidered not only in regard to its mar
ket price and its product but also to
Its future use in providing "a second
crop. Where concentrated foods, such
as linseed and cottonsecd meals, are
used the value of the manure is still
greater, and il the prices obtained for
meat and milk be no greater than the
cost Of food and labor the manure
alone will give large profit, as from
20 to 40 per cent. OF the food used is
retained on the farm in the manure,
and the larger the proportion of nitro
gen in the food (as with linseed meaD
tho greater the value of the manure
in proportion TO its weight. If the
total value OF u ton Of linsccd meal be
estimated at $50, the feeding value
may be stated at $32, and the manu-
rial value S2S, but corn-mcal gives o
feeding value Of $23 out of total of
$50, leaving 81 to be returned in the
manure. If the manure be not re-
tanned on the farm, but sold at its real
dlue, it would, therefore, be rs much
a product of food rs meat or milk, but
it is moro economical TO retain it, for
tho reason that its removal adds to its
cost. Many cattle foods arc really
cheaper than their manurial value,
and may be applied directly to the
land, but this depends upon the quail
ity of the soil and its deficiency in any
particular element. The value Of the
manure to the land depends upon its
of some special Gle
mcnt. Potash manurcs are valuable
on heterogeneous soils. but possess little
value on soils Astounding in potash,
and all these matters are to be consid-
cred in tho final estimates.

Early Cut Glover.
Glover will soon be ready to cut.
The proper time for cutting is now a
live question. Some say cut it when
it first comes into bloom; and prac-
tice lets one half OF the heads get dead
ripe. All aim to get it at the right
time, and in the best conditions; but
few begin cutting it early enough to
avoid putting in lot of dead ripe
clover at the last end. Especially if it
comes on wet, the clover must stand
until fair weather, and often by this
time it is we'll seeded.
What says chemistry about the
proper time to cut clover? The re-
suits of analysis do not seem to favor
any of the periods when clover is
usually cut. The tables give the nu.
tritivc ratio OF clover in full bloom
the time perhaps most generally
agreed upon-as one part of nitrOge-
nous material to 81 of carbonaceous.
This is a very good ratio for ordin-
airy feeding purposes, but clover cut
at this time does not appear to be at
its best. When cut before blossoming

heterogeneous to 3.S of carbonaceous ma
terial. This is pretty strong meat.
and will admit of corn meal, corn
stalks, or straw, as part OF ration
and still be up to the standard. Clo-
yer cut before blossom has about one
third larger proportion of muscle and
cheese making material than that cut
in full blossom and usually the more
heterogeneous foods are counted the
more valuable. There is no trouble in
getting the carbonaceous, but care
must be taken that they are in a di-
gestible form. Coarse fibre is not;
yet this is what we get in overripe
fodder.
Another point in favor of the Glove
cut before blossom, and just about tn c
time it is ready to begin to open, is
that it is more easily dtgcstcd. There
is not so much bulk, but larger pro-
portion of the whole is digcstcd. This,
of course, makes it more nutritious,
and better for producing milk or beef.
Letting clover stand until it is more
mature, simply increases the amount of
carbonaceous fibre, but the increase is
Offset by loss of digcstibility We sus-
poet that very few of tho fodder plants
and grasses, except corn, are cut and
cured at as early a period of their de-
velopment as they should bc.-Practi-
