active this morning and strong in all its de-

was the occasion of another pyrotechnic rise

Improve Stock.

There is as much reason to urge ear.
nestly for farmers to improve their
stock as there every was, says the Des
MONIES Register. The largest majority
of nearly all classes of stock in the state
araunprofitable scrubs. And full blood
males Of improved stock are so cheap
there is scarcely any excuse for cOntin-
| ulng the old and improbable system.
There is really no necessity for the COM
! mon stock raiser to pay extra prices for
the fancy stock. If one farmer is not
able to get first-class male animal. let
a few farmers combine, and the expense
will be very light in comparison with the
benefits. And if times be tight and
money scarce. breed the thoroughbred
male upon your common stock. Shortly
/ there will he lot Of good grade ami
mails; with these continue to grade up,
using every year full blood males. In
/ this way any farm can be stocked prop
erlY with light expense.
/ New Hampshire farming property Is
not valuable nowadays. A farm of fifty
acres In Springfield, with decent
house and barn in good repair, with
meadow land that cuts enough hay for
two cows and horse, and with good
wood lot, was lately sold for $3.50.
Never allow fresh manure to come in
contact with the roots of young trees
that are being planted. Chip dust,
wood ashes or broken bones may be
placed in the hole and the top soil be
thrown III, but no fermenting material.
| Prof. Maynard is quoted as saying
that birds do more good than harm to
the farmer and orchardist, and that
more trees should be planted that they
may have due share Of the fruit and
leave some for the grower.
The best Jersey mich COW we ever
heard Of was one whose owner said he
carried her across the field and MIXED

not carry it back to the house!
