needing attention. A little work now
will prevent their aggravating tapping
and ''stubbornness" in winter gales, to
say nothing of the increased comfort
given the stock. The feeding troughs,
managers, etc, may also be looked after
with profit The cutting room" or

arranged to suit the special require
ments of the winter. 1t Is hardly ever
the case that the stock kept one winter

essary preparation or changes now.

taken that standing piece of advice.
But it is of no use to multiply items
of this kind. The thing most needed
is for the proprietor to take little
time to study and arrange for his own
convenience and his stocks comfort,
and while the points mentioned may
require his attention, no doubt many OF
greater moment will suggest them
selves. The object of this note is not
to point out the things to be done so

that in nine barns out of ten some such
work is necessary. Now let us not all

American pork is the cleanest and
sweetest in the world. 1t is not just the
kind of pork that we ought to produce,
as the Western Rural has frequently
said, and the time is coming when the
development of muscle will receive
more attention and the development Of
fat less. But barring its fairness our
pork is good, because it is largely fed
upon good, sweet food. Those who are
feeding their swine upon such food
should know, and they must know,
that the pork is injured just to the
extent that they feed food that
sis not fit for hog to eat" The
average swill barrel is an abomination.
1t is all one can do to approach some
swill barrels, and yet the stuff is fed in
large quantities to the hogs Garbage
that is SO rotten that it threatens to
start an epidemic is given to hogs. 1t
is impossible to make good pork upon
such food, and the fact ought to be
recognized by all swine raisers. The hog
will eat any thing, but that does not
signify that it should be allowed to eat
every thing. Feed good, sweet food of
the proper kind, and the chance of your
having healthy swine and good pork
will be greatly increased.

MONEY IN TROTTERS.

Farmers Waking to the Fact That IL
PAYS to Breed Good Trotting Stock.
The better class of farmers are wax
ing up to the fact that there is money
in breeding trottingbred horses, but
a great many of Thorn go at it in way
that will cause them sooner or later to
drop it in disgust There are some that
go at it right and these are the ones
that stick to it and make money at it.
The first and more numerous class are
men that have the proverbial mare that
can ''trot mile in three minutes any
day." and she is usually Morgan or
Messenger, which in nine cases out of
ten means nothing. This mare is bred
to some good horse at service fee of
one or two hundred dollars, with the
expectation of getting a colt that will
bring a price as largo as the farmer
reads that other colts are selling for.
At about this time, however, he is apt to
find out that his colt won't sell for more
than an ordinary price, for while it is a
good colt, the dam has no breeding, and
has never produced any speed, and the
breeder must take what nc is offered or
keep the colt and develop his speed,
which takes so long a time and costs so
much money that he will give up in
disgust and declare that there is no
money in raising trotters. His neigh
Dor, who belongs to the second class l
mentioned, looks over the ground be-
fore he makes a venture and finds that
in order to sell he must breed what
people want. and, furthermore, finds
that buyers will only pay big prices FOR
colts from producing families who have
proven their worth, and that the more
producing blood there is in the colt
the more they are willing to pay
for him. lie finds, in fact that
buyers never go away from home
to buy animals of ordinary breed.
ing, for they can be bought anywhere
but they will go a long ways to get
something choice, and for such will pay
long prices. In view of these facts, he
sells his mares of no breeding and takes
the money he gets for them and pro-
ceeds to watch for chance to buy one
or two mares from producing families
and from producing dam if possible.
He finds one to suit him, buys her and
breeds her to good individual of some
fashionable family, and when his COLTS
weaned and ready to sell, has only tc
let buyers know what he has got to sell
at price that will net him more money
on his investment than any other de-
partment of his farm can possibly give
him. These are the two ways of start
ing'in to breed trotters. The first will
bring failure and disgust the other
much pleasure and sure profit. -Massa

FARMER AND PLANTER.
PROGRESS IN FARMING.


Are We as Far in Advance OF Our
Ancestors rs We Think We Are?
The world in its egotism always mag
ines itself away ahead of the genera
tons Of the past in wisdom and prac-
tice We Of this age, and especially in
this country, imagine that we have made
great strides in agriculture. But have
we advanced as much as we imagine
that we have? This is truly an age of
Invention, in which it excels. Is not
most of our progress due more to i'm
proved machinery and implements than
to any new and more effective practice
based on discovery OF principles and the
invention Of better methods? Let US
look back for a moment to the days of
Greece and Rome, when war and the
fine arts are supposed to have
been the chief manly occupations
Pliny appears to have understood how
one crop enriches the soil while another
impoverishes it, # the farmers soil be
run down, he says: Let him, in that
case, help himself thus: Let him SOW
hCAN tpol . OlOD Oi OilO lltlo hhNlO hO
has just gathered his beans, yetches or
lupines; or such other crop as enriches
the ground; for, indeed. it is worth
notice, that some crops are sown for no
other purpose but as food for others-a
poor practice, in my estimation" Is
not this hint at green-manuring and
the nitrogen-gathering crops? He says,
as to the time of cutting wheat THE
best time to cut it down is before
the grain gets hard, when the ear
begins to have a reddish brown APP
pearance. Better two days too
soon than as many too late, is a
good old maxim, and might pass for an
oracle" Cato had his ideas about farms
and farming He held that farm
should be good and fertile; that there
be plenty OF laborers near it, and that it
be not far from large town; moreover
that have sufficient means for transport
ing its products, either by water or land.
Also that the house be we'll built, and
the land about it we'll managed. But, v
he continues, II observe great error
and self-decept1on which many men
commit, who hold that the negligence
ond i'll .hus bandry of the former owner is
good for his successor or after-purchaser.
Now, say there is nothing more dan
gerous and Instantaneous to the buy.
er than land so left waste and out OF
heart" Could modern Cato counsel
wiser? When asked the best source Of
profit on the farm, he replied: ''To
feed stock WELL" and "to feed with
moderation" or true economy The
advanced farmer of to-day believes in
making his farm produce as far as pos
sible whatever is needed for use on it,
Cato said, "a good husbandman ought
TO be seller rather than buyer" and
that he ought ''to make use and derive
profit from other mems follies." As Mr.
Hoskyns, the English writer, says: 81
is curious to read such passages as these
and to find the very same objects still
handled, week after week, in fresh and
eager controversy, in the agriculture
writings and periodicals of the prosen
day, eighteen centuries after those
opinions were written. Rural World

Decorticating Ramie.

The farmers can not fail to be inter-
ested in the new process invented by
Mr. Forbes, of Atlanta, Ca, for decorti-
eating the ramie plant so as to strip the
fiber of useless material and render it
fit for the purposes of manufacturing,
because this process can without doubt
be applied to the flax plant and new
industry be established in America. The
Atlanta Constitution says of it: "Mr.
Forbes has received from Michigan a
few stalks of this years growth
of flax. Heretofore his experiments
with the fax fiber has been
made with old stalks that have
been subjected to the rotting or SUBJ
merging process. From these new
stalks, he produced, in an incredibly
short space of time, the most beautiful
fiber we have yet seen. 1t is fine as
silk and as glossy and altogether SUI
perior to the fiber that results from the
retting or rotting system. Mr. Forbes
process is also cheaper than retting.
This will do away with slow and tedious
methods and is likely to encourage the
growth of fax. which has an established
place among the valuable textiles from
which durable fabrics are spun or
woven.
