Special Farming no Panacea,

There is much discussion at the
present time in regard ito how farmers
can Improve their condition. Th e
most diverse opinions are given .on
this naatter; but the prevailing one is
that the farmer should choose some
speciality; cultivate it, excel in it, and
IND the best market for his product.
This is a Very srhtractive illusion,
but it is ONE of the most impracticable
devices that lis possible. Specialists
are born Or reared derspecial cir-
cumstances which give "a turn or bent
to their coslrse of life. A tman's ear
lest experiences most often control
the direction OF his mature life Ac-
cidents turn MEN out of their chosen
courses and foetce them into others
greatly diverse. Not in as many as
one case out Of ten are the ,hoBes and
intentions OF young mem fulfilled
after fnaturity. Study the history of
.all the prominent farmers and we
skall got find one in a hundred
of them following the coarse he
chose at me beginning of his career.
And of tho great majority of farmers
who have taken up some special
branch of agriculture most SUCCESS
fully nearly all were led or forced by
accident to take it up and stick TO it.
Success came 600 from natural fitness
for the work. Men have call, SO to
speak, for their special work, and very
few choose it fer themselves. And,
thus, specialties In any business can
not be chosen, but are drifted into, and
by force of a natural attraction. aided
by the current of circumstances, the
man and the work meet and become
firmly attached together. And this
natural attraction or fitness is the
secret of success.
So that a farmer who is not satisfied
with his work can scarcely hope to
succeed in any other special branch by

abruptly breaking loose from it and
taking up another. It is this restless
spirit which creates discomfort, weak
ems effort, and leads to abrupt changes
which are so often ruinous.
Dairy Notes.

j j - II
Never air the milk cellar after in
the morning. Ventilation should be
given at night, when the air is coolest
and dryest, having deposited its mois-
ture ia the form of dew.
Salt should be given to the COWS
every second day. It is needed more
now, when the animals are on fresh
pasture than at any other time, as an
aid to digestion and a preventative of
fermentation.
Warm air absorbs much larger
quantity of water than cool air. It
may feel cool when it is moving in q
current, and feeling Of GOODNESS is due
to the evaporation of water from the
skin, which the warm air takes up
But the air is not any cooler.
If the milk ever molds in the pans
it indicates that the air is too damp.
The milk house or cellar may be dried
by keeping peck of lime in a shallow
box in the cellar. A peck Of fresh
lime will abs orb 4 quarts of moisture
from the air and is then air Stacked.
Why do COWS require salt? Simply
because the acid of the salt Cthe hydro
chloric) is largely contained in the
saliva and the gastric fluid, by which
the food is digested. And COW Sc
cretes and uses up avery large quanti-
ty of these fluids in the acts of
Illumination and digestion.
Hortic cultural Hints,
Do not be sparing with manure for
small fruits. Currants, gooseberries,
raspberries and black berries, are only
satisfactory when they make heavy
growth as this ENSURES plenty of large
sized fruit
For a fast growing vine, beautiful at
all times, there is room always, for
the Akebia quinata. Its small, plum
cClored, sweet scented flowers appear
with the first leaves in the early
Spring.
A great deal of fun has been made
of those that pushed the moonfower
into prominence a few years ago. But
it is an excellent vine where quick
growth is required; and many another
old flower would be the better for a
lift such as this got.
Some flower beds are capable of car
rying three crops of Towering plants
in a season. Hyacinths are planted in
October, and they are over in time
for pansies, and these begin to decline
in beauty when it is time to set out
coleus and other leaf plants.
1t has been said that the Japan
chestnuts which have fruited in this
country have smaller fruit than many
of the Spanish. Without knowing
how this may be, it is certainly fact
that the nuts imported direct from
Japan are much larger than the Span
ish, but the question is are they Sc
lected?

Resortinx to Bribery.

The Frankfort lottery is making a des,
perate fight to defeat the move to abolish
lotteries in Kentucky. An investigating
committee recently discovered that the
Frankfort company's charter has prob
ably expired by limitation, but was
stopped in its inquiries by refusal
Of witnesses to answer. The witnesses
acted under the instructions of the
lottery lawyers, and it was found the COM
mittee could not commit them for con-
tempt. A bill was then introduced in the
legislature making it punishable to refuse
to answer questions Of Legislative investi-
eating committee. This has been hung up
by the lottery agents, but another bill
pushing lotteries by tho heaviest penal
ties seems likely to pass. A lottery repre-
sentative approached a member OF the leg
islature last week with a corrupt offer,
which Was spurned. A man purportinR to
represent the Coviueton branch of the lot
terry went to Senator z. Z. Settle aud

tainer fee for his services. Mr.. Settle re-
jected the offer Indignantly. There is much
gossip OF other similar cases.

Kansns City Abuse Of Unfortuates.

The charges made by Alderman Ford
concerning the condition of the prisoners
confined in the Kansas City workhouse are
found to be true. Two reporters of the
Times investigated the matter and found
that about Is male prisoners are crowded
into narrow and filthy cells, reeking with
vermin and not provided with sanitary
regulations. The men are constantly man.
acled with shackles weighing from 10 Is
pounds, and are therefore prevented from
bathing. Two OF the prisoners said they
had not taken bath fo- two months.
Many OF the cells are five feet long and in
some Of them are confined men six feet
tall. For these rs prisoners are bu, two
guards. The guards say that on account
OF the desperate character OF the men it is
necessary to shackle them to prevent their
escape SO long as they alone have to guard
them and they remain in their present
quarters. The building is of wood and the
partitions are thin. 1t is thought likely
that new brick prison will be erected,
provided with proper sanitary regulations
and sufficient number Of guards to watch
the prisoners to do away with the shackles.
