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,
hangers, ETC., may also be looked after
with profit. The "cutting room" or
feed room" may be cleared and re-
arranged to suit the special require
ments of the winter. 1t is hardly ever
the case that the stock kept one winter
is the same in number and kind as the
winter before. and knowing what is to
be kept this year we can make the nee
essary preparation or changes now.
We can also stop any ''cold" cracks in
floor or wall, if we haven't already
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
much as to call attention to the fact
that in nine barns out of ten some sach
work is necessary. Now let US not all

PECULIAR INFATUATION.

Different Methods of Following ths In
junction "Love One Another"
Do men ever fall in love with each others
Women do. Not long ago young woman
n New Jersey was married to youthful
aborer on her fathers farm. Sometime
afterward it was discovered that the hus-
band was female; heyoung wife refused,
however, though earnestly entreated by her
friends, to give up her chosen consort. The
strangest part of the discovery was the fact
that the bride knew her husband was q
woman before she was led to the altar
If men do not exhibit this strange infatu-
alton for one of their own sex, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the fact that
they love one another. There are many in
stances on record where one man has given
his life for another. There are many more
instances where men have given life to
another.

that one has saved precious human life.

FARMER AND PLANTER,
PROGRESS IN FARMING.
Are We as Far in Advance of Gu
Ancestors as We Think We Are?

! Are We as Far in Advance of Our
Ancestors as We Think We Are?
The world in it's 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 thatwe 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 moment to the days of
Greece and Rome, when war and the
line arts are supposed to have
been tho chief manly occupations.
Pliny appears to have understood how
one crop enriches the soil while another
impoverishes it. If the farmers soil be
run down, he says: ''Let him, in that
case, help himself thus: Let him SOW
next years crop on the field where he
has just gathered his beans, vetches 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 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 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 a farm
should be good and fertile; that there
be plenty OF laborers near it, and thatit
be not far from a 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"
he continues, II observe great error
and self-deception which many men
commit who hold that the negligence
and ill-husbandry of the former owner is
good for his successor or after-purchaser.
Now, ] say there is nothing more dan
gerous and disadvantageous to the buy
err than land so left waste and out of
heart" Could modern Cato counsel
wiser? When asked tho bsst source of
profit on the farm, he replied: ITO
feed stock WE'LL" and Ito 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 u buyer" and
that he ought "to make use. and derive
profit from other mems follies" AS Mr..
Hoskyns, the English writer, says: ut
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 agricultural
writings and periodicals of the present
day, eighteen centuries after those
opinions were written. Rural World.

How to Gain III Flesh.

1t is not what one eats that makes one fat
but the food that is properly digested and
assimilated that increases the flesh. The
food that lies and ferments in the stomach
or passes undigested into the viscera, does
the, system much harm, as they say, it
makes a man thin to carry so much eifete
matter around with him.. In order that
there be a full and thorough digestion and
assimilation of food, the stomach, the liver
and the kidneys must be kept in the finest
condition. These great organs Of life fire.
quently need the aid Of various herbal
juices. 1t is to them what oil is to ma
chinery. 1t enables them to do their work
with less friction. 1t is this friction that
wears out mechanical machinery as well as
the machinery o life. Now science has dis
covered the herbs that naturally aid the
movements of the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels They are contained in that
efficacious remedy known as DR.. Bulls
Sarsaparllla. If you are in state of gen.
eral i'll health give it trial and see how
much better you will feel.

MONEY IN TROTTERS.

Farmers Waking to the Fact That it

The better class of farmers are wax.
ing up to the fact that there is money
in breeding trotting-b bred horses, but
great many of them 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 n mile in three minutes any
day." and she is usually Morgan or a
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 colt that will
bring price as large 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 SCI! 10. ,.lore
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 he is offered or
keep the colt and develop his speed,
which takes so long 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 I
mentioned, looks over the ground be-
fore he makes 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. He 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 60 long ways to get
something choice, and for such will paw
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 a producing dam if possible.
