Money in 1t

Are people who spin out their
brains in books aud newspapers for
the public reading SO wretchedly
paid as claimed ? 1t may be that
the pay is often as good as the
writing, in these days of words and
loose scattering writing, and thus
after all those who pay the writers
manage to "make the punishment
fit the crime" Writers ought to
be made to understand that in this
the day of blanket newspapers,
when the public are wearing out
their eyesight trying to keep up
with current events, two words used
when one would have answered the
purpose is a crime and nothing
short.
There is, however, at least one
man in America who has a hand
some income out of literary work.
His name is not heralded to the
world by the trumpet Of fame. No
savage reviewer drives him mad by
a spiteful dissection of his best SEN
fences. In fact hardly anybody
knows his name at all, so modest
and unassuming he is. Yet his
writing is read by more people than
perhaps any other literary work tx
cept the Bible ever was. 1t is under
the eye Of the public every day, and
they read railways with renewed in
terest. 1t is good writing, too: a
model for journalists, brief, terse,
not word too mech, yet it says all
that is necessary. 1t is crystal
clear as to its meaning. This man
who writes can discern the meaning
of current events aud put it before
his readers better than almost any
leading editorial writer in America.

STOCK ITEMS.

Unless they are to be fattened early
In the fall it is usually not best to feed
SO much in July and August as to keep
the pigs fat
A few pigs should always be kept to
run with the cattle. They will consume
the milk and much more that would
otherwise 60 to waste.
Breeding and feeding pigs should DO
managed SO as to market two lots at
least year-one in the spring and the
other in the fall-and when a good breed
this can readily be done.
As it does not pay to keep a team on
the farm and wear it out, care should be
taken in breeding to raise a grade of
horses that is in demand in the market,
rather than an all-purpose farm horse.
Good fly-nets should be used on all
the teams during the summer. Flies
worry the teams considerable, and any
should be used, especially when hard at
work.
Young colts or mules will make q
much better growth and Developments
they are fed regularly light ration Of
grain every day-fuliy sufficient to pay
for the additional cost-than if they are
only allowed all the grass they can eat.
To enable the lambs to get a little
grain food for themselves, provide .
small pen with narrow openings through
which they can squeeze and put small
fiat trough in it. The young things
will soon discover Its purpose and make
use of it.
The price of the cow does not indicate
her value as a producer. Gilt-edged
butter is something that depends on
how it is made. The cow gives the
milk, but upon the management of the
milk, cream and butter depends the
quality.
The quicker hog can be fattened and
marketed the better the profit. This is
an accepted fact, and in order to make
hog grow rapidly he must be pushed.
Spring pigs that are crowded from the
start can often be sold at eight months.
and fall pigs should not be over ten
months old. This implies good breed.
good shelter. plenty of feed and good
care.
That there is scarcity of the stock
in the country there is no doubt There
is revival of interest in the cattle busi-
ness but the interest centers chiefly on
feeding and preparing for market
There is an improvement, decided
improvement, in the demand for breed
ing stock, but the general improvement
has not yet been great enough to induce
beginners to start into cattle breeding,
and the experienced men have not got
ten quite far enough away from their
late unpleasant experiences to take
hold very freely as yet--Chicago Drov-
ers' Journal.

ALFALFA HAY.

Its Value - Food and How to Cure-A
Farmers Experience with 1t.
lam we'll satisfied that the real value
of alfalfa is not generally known, even
among very many who have raised it
for years, writes Ira Adams, in an ex-
change. Continuing. he says; Its nu-
tritive qualities are much greater than
it gets credit for. A stable-keeper in
town told me not long since l was
keeping my I, 40O-pound horse too fat
I asked him what I should do He
replied: "Feed him less grain" He
was greatly surprised when / assured
him that 1 fed him nothing but dry al
1alfa. a little salt and all the fresh
water he wanted-not an ounce of grain
and that 1 could do as good blowing
with him as most people do with two
horses. From one COW, common stock,
fed only with alfalfa and beets, and
kept in small yard all the time. l sold
STATS worth of butter in one year,
besides furnishing my family of five
with all they needed. as we'll as milk
and cream. No wonder then l value
alfalfa so highly, and know no forage
plant would exchange it for.
The manner of curing depends entire
~ on the time of cutting. My method
is as follows: In hot weather, if cut
early in the morning, I rake it into
light windrows in the afternoon, as soon
as it gets thoroughly wilted. This will
generally be in few hours, unless the
crop is very heavy. The next day, as
soon as the dew is off put it into small
cocks, not over one hundred pounds
each, and shake it up we'll while cock
ing, making the cock as light and as
high as possible. In this way the hot
air circulates through it, and it very
gradually settles as we'll as cures in the
best manner, being almost as green
when dry as before being cut. If cut
very early in the spring or late in the
fall. much more time is required in
curing, but never cock when it feels
heavy, even in hot weather, as some of
the bottom of the cocks will be sure to
be moldy. Haul it to your barn three
or four days after being cooked, especial
ly in hot weather. Salt freely, and you
will have alfalfa hay of first quality,
and your stock will think Christmas has
come.
