James Arbuckle, breeder and importer
OF Jerseys, says that the demand in Texas
for improved cattle of all breeds, but
particularly Jerseys and Holsteins, 10
greater now than ever before The people
want good cattle, and they are willing to
good prices.
Do not be induced to retain q male pig
from the cross.bred litter because it is q
fine specimen. The male should be thor
oughbred or there will be no uniformity in
the offspring. The mistake of keeping
over cross-bred males is one that has
largely aided in degenerating the swine
on some farms.
Our improved modern pigs are the result
of the infusion of Chinese and Siamese
blood with the pigs of England and Ire
land of 100 years ago. The Chester White
and Poland Chinas of this country are not
thoroughbred in the strict sense Of the
term, that is, they do not always repro
duce their ancestors. The Poland Chinas
are the best for the practical farmer.

GUS cattle disease among some of the ami
mails on a ranch about four miles south of
Gibbon, Neb. The feet of the animals
dropped off after a short illness. 1t is
said that about twelve head of cattle died
within few weeks and a number of the
animals were still suffering from the dis
ease. One man advanced the theory that
it was the result of lack of care of the
yards in which the cattle were kept dur
ing the winter. The yards have not been
changed for a number of years and the
accumulated filth, in which the cattle
were compelled to stand, especially in
wet weather, it was suggested, rots the
feet and poisons the whole system of the
animals.

Notes..

Hardy shrubs and flowers should be Sc.
lected with the view of having a supply
of flowers from spring until fall. As some
flowers bloom early and others late, Sc.
lections of varieties best suited to the soil
and for each month will assist in orna.
menting the yard until frost appears.
If you have a rough road across the
farm, where heavy loads are moved, make
it smooth before you use it again.
Before you make the gate determine
what width will admit the self binder
ready for work.
Bars argue shiftlessness; strong gates
thrift.
One stone six inches high in wheel
track causes more wear Of team and car.
riage than an additional half mile of
smooth road.
Finely sifted coal ashes are excellent for
providing dust baths for poultry.
By far the greater part of poultry dis.
eases are on the outside, and their names
are hen lice and mites of spiders. The
best remedies are buchach and kerosene,
the former to be used on the fowls and the
latter on the perches, in the nests and in
the whitewash.
There can not be a good crop without a
good stand; and there can not be a good
stand without good seed-seed that will
do more than germinate; that will produce
inherently vigorous plants az well.

of the bank, and W. j. Lunsford farmer
who was sitting near the door. commanded
them to hold up their hands, which they

Two of the men took charge of Lunsford
and Weber, whom they made to stand

FARM NOTES.


All the rakings, sod grass and refuse OF
the farm can be nsed as a foundation for q
compost heap.
When an intelligent farmer is once con-
vinced that poultry can be made paying
branch of his business he is usually not
slow to take steps toward improving his
flock and providing good quarters for
them.
A recent prize offered by an Eastern
horticultural society for the largest money
product from a given area Of small fruits
was awarded a strawberry grower whose
sales from two acres amounted to more
than 81. 100.
Every farmer should have an experi-
mental plot of his own. The information
gained of practical kind will be invalu.
able If every farmer in the United States
could be induced to try a few experiments
annually agriculture would make more
rapid progress than any other branch of
industry.
From three to half a dczsn tea roses will
not cost much and be a source of delight
all summer, for who does not love roses,
and what girls do not love to wear rose
buds! Select different colors and plant
them out in good rich soil. and care for
them like any other flowers, keeping the
weeds and grass from around them, and
the soil loose, and you will never regret
having bought them
Some time ago the State Penitentiary
Commissioners of Illinois were instructed
by the Legislature TO report on the feas-
iblity of assisting the farmers of the State
in their fight against the binding twine
trust by manufacturing twine in the peni-
tentiary. They reported the other day
that it was entirely feasible, and that a
plant which would employ IS convicts
could manufacture one-third of the twine
used by farmers in the State at cost OF
1h cents per pound.
Never rent farm if you can own one.
The man who rents farm must necessari-
ly add much to the farm from which he
can not derive any benefit. If he attempts
to crop rented farm without doing jus.
tice to the land he will suffer loss as well
as the owner. There are many improve
ments of the soil from which the owner
receives the benefit, in the course of time
at the expense of the renter. All farms
should be rented by mutual agreement,
and ell conditions plainly stipulated.
Prof. Blount, of the Colorado Agricul-
tural College. having first made an elab-
orate study of tine habits and needs of the
wheat plant, conducted a series of experi-
ments in its cultivation with the following
results: First he planted upon an exact
square acre ~ pounds of hand-picked
wheat in rows of eighteen inches apart
and at harvest threshed out 81 bushels;
again, upon one.fourth of an acre he
planted % ounces of selected seed, and the
product was IS bushels; and again. upon
seventy-six square feet he planted IS ker.
nels Of extra fine seed, weighing forty
five grains, and the product was 1OH
pounds. or nearly at the rate of 100 BUSH
els per acre.

scious effort 1 find myself classifying
the people whom l meet. and dividing
a great many faces and figures into a
small number Of types There is one
species in particular which of late has
inspired me with good deal OF disgust.
It or he is young man of medium
height and slight frame, with small.
narrow head. a thin. pale face, promi-
nent cheek bones usually, and weak
chin. His dress is of the shabby gen.
teel variety. ranging from new and
fashy slop-shop garments to those
that are old and threadbare. His hat
is invariably a derby. and commonly
placed on one side of his head. He is
very apt to sport a plated watch-chain,
and a pointed shoe is one of the objects
of his ambition. There is a general
air of reckless abandon about him, his
high collar being very open in front,
his vest cut low, his coat unbuttOned
and his movements slOuching and un-
certain.
If the reader recognizes this type,
he will not need to be told that the
young man whom we have in our
mind is commonly out of work, or
''loafng." as he correctly describes

dition. suspect that there is almost
always some toiling person behind
this gay butterfy-some mother,
sister or other relative. who works
hard, and generously but foolishly
supports him. Meanwhile he walks
the streets, sits out on the common in
fine weather, haunts the dime
museums and other like places of
amusement, and must certainly be de-
ferred to as connoisseur in five-cent
cigars. His financial transactions
almost always take the form of small
pool-buying on the result OF profess
sional games of baseball. In fact, he
comes out very strongly when the
national game is in progress. and may
be seen hanging on the end of horse
car in great numbers, with the usual
cigar in his mouth, upon those occa-
sions when championship contest is
to take place at the South End. /

KEPT WITHIN THE LAW.
Pennies Were Legal Tender When Showed
Out One at a Time.

| Pennies Were Legal Tender When Showed
Out One at Time.
The action of that New Jersey bank
in dumping $4,000 in silver on its floor
in payment of its checks in the hands
of a rival institution brings up the
question of legal tenders. Gold has
always been legal tender in the
United States. With brief interval
previous to the passage of the Bland
act silver dollars have been also.
Greenbacks are, but gold and silver
certificates are not, except on customs,
taxes and public dues. National
bank notes are not legal tenders. and
can and have been refused in payment
of debt. Subsidiary coin is legal tender
only in limited quantities.
A gentleman went to the stamp
window of the post-office in neigh
boring city and called for 100 one
cent stamps. rendering in payment 100
one-cent pieces.
Those are not legal-tender in any
such quantities." growled the stamp
clerk. Il refuse to accept them"
You do. eh?" answered the gentle
man. We'll. give me one stamp" at
the same time showing out a penny.
The stamp was forthcoming.
Now. give me stamp" He got
il.
Another stamp"
Now another"
..:See here" said the clerk. chow
many stamps do you want? You are
keeping twenty people waiting"
"Oh. / always keep within the law"
responded the gentleman. Another
stamp. please. Pennies are not legal
tender In large amounts. Another
stamp"
And he showed off his pennies and
purchased stamps. one at time, till he
got his hundred. But the clerk was
cured. Pennies are legal tender at
his window in barrel lots.-Washing-

Poor Peoples Chances.

Some years ago q city missionary was
crossing one of the parks in New York on
the Sabbath day and said to lad: "What
are you doing here, breaking the Lords
dayf You ought to be at church and wor-
Shipping God instead Of breaking the Sab
bath in this way" The poor lad in his rags
looked up at the city missionary and said /:
"Oh, sir, it's very easy for you to talk that
way, but God knows that we poor chaps
amt got no chance"
The sentiment seems to be growing that
in the United States the time has arrived
when 1.-THE poor chaps don't have no
chance"
There is some truth in it. The poor are
not shut out from making q livelihood, but
the gulf between riches and poverty con-
tinually grows more difficult to cross. As
the country becomes densely populated
keen business competition decreases the
chances for accumulating wealth by ordi-
nary business methods.
But the same conditions vastly improve
the chances for great success to those who
can strike out in new paths, can furnish
something to the world that others can
not.
True merit, in commodity or ability, will
win easily and with grand results in this
country, if the masses can be induced to
recognize it. This recognition can only be
accomplished by what are sometimes
sneeringly alluded to as advertising
methods.
What q marvellous success has attended
the thorough introduction to the world of
the merits of that wonderful remedy for kid.
ney ydisease-Warner's Safe Cure. Hon. H.
Fl. Warner first came to know Of its cura-
tive power by being restored to health from
what the doctors pronounced fatal kidney
trouble. He concluded the world ought to
know of it and in the ten years since he be-
gan its manufacture he has spent millions
of dollars in advertising the Safe Cure.
His methods have been ingenious-some-
times, perhaps, open to criticism, but they
had purpose, which has been accomplished.
But markl he never would have secured
four-fold return of the vast sums thus ex-
pended if the real merit of the remedy had
not been fully proven to the millions of peo-
pie reached by his advertisements.
Ten years of increasing success of War
ner's Safe Cure is due, first, to intelligent
and pleasing advertising, by which the peo-
pie were made acquainted with the remedy.
Second to the true worth Of the remedy.
proved by actual experience, showing it to
be the only specific for kidney disease, and
all diseases growing out of kidney derange-
ments.
Mr.. Warner has something the people
want, tells them so, then proves it to their
satisfaction-success follows as matter of
course.

Will Destroy Themselves.

ALBANY, n. Y, May 1.-The State Sen.
ate General Laws Committee ordered last
year to investigate trusts has reported.
1t concludes that oppressive trusts have
within them the element of their own de-
struc,ion-that as they become better
known they become less feared; that the
evils of which they are the cause are
shor;-lived; that. pending suits now on
the way to the Court of Appeals, no legis-
lation should be had. A test case has
been started against the Buffalo elevators,
regarding which the committee says:
Meanwhile the elevators ara charging
one-eighth of cent bushel in excess of
the price fixed by law, claiming the work
can not be done for less. -
