Supremacy

TO the emaciated and debilitated invalid is the
sense Of returning health and strength produced
by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. When that
promoter of vigor is tested by persons in feeble
health, its restorative and vitalizing potency
soon eylnces itself in improved appetite, diges-
tion and nightly repose, the sole conditions
under which strength and nerve quietude are
vouchsafed to the human system. A gain in
flesh of course ensues upon the restoration Of
digestion and assimilation. AS surely as win
ter follows the fall Of the leaf does disease
shadow the footsteps Of declining strength, when
the premature decadence Of vitality is not ar
rested. Marasmus. consumption aud other
wasting maladies are prompt to fasten upon the
grand enabling tonic, which not only renews
falling strength but mitigates and counteracts
the intrmities Of age and those OF the gentler
sex. rheumatism, malaria, liver and kidney
troubles Yield to it.

Beet Sugar In Nebraska.

An experiment is to be made on a
grand scale at Grand Island, Neb., in the
manufacture of beet sugar, the plant to
cost $500, 900. The Legislature of that
State has offered q bounty of l cent per
pound upon all sugar manufactured
therein. A French expert is to have
charge of the works.
After a thorough investigation he says
the soil of Nebraska is far more favor
able for the production of beets than is
tbnt of France or Germany-countries
wherein the industry has been developed
to very great proportions. The soil Of
Nebraska, he says, contains 3 per cent.
of phosphoric acid-an important ele-
ment in sugar production-while the
soils of European countries contain
only threatening of l per cent. of that
essential quality. The time is evidently
not far distant when this country can
supply its own wants and nave sugar to
SPARE.

THE DAIRY,
Points in a Good Mixer.

In bulletin No. 5 of the West Virginia
Agricultural Experiment Station is q
chapter on the selection of mich cows,
in the course of which the writer saws:
In the selection of mich cows no
definite c~riteria can be given, but good
cows possess certain points that seldom
lead one astray, and the greater number
nf points that can be found combined
will indicate with more certainty the ca
pacity of the animal at the pail. These
points are usually possessed by good
milch COWS: First, and of prime imror-
lance is that she should be descended
from q line of good mixers. Head,
small; muzzle, fine; nostrils, flexible
and expanding; face, long, slender and
dishing; mouth, large: lips, thick and
delicate and waxy; ears, long and thin
with a few soft, silky hairs on the in
side where skin is of a delicate yellow
ish color; neck, thin and small where it
joins head; chest, deep, indicating we'll
formed respiratory organs; back, broad
and level; belly, large and we'll ribbed;
low flank; thigh, wide but thin; legs,
short, standing we'll apart; large. milk
veins; udder, loose, large, soft, pliable,
square in form, OF nearly SO, projecting
we'll out behind the legs; four good
teats, not too large, set wide apart and
pointing slightly outward; skin, loose
and mellow, and OF yellowish color;
hair, fine, thick and glossy; disposition,
quiet; milk-mirror Or es%cutcheon we'll
marked, being free from patches ortufts
of down-growing hair.
No two men of q section rarely ever
decide upon the best breed of stock for
dairy, unless the two are accustomed to
handling the same. We are apt to con-
slider best that which we have the long
est used and to what we are most accus-
toned. To name the breed that would
be the most remunerative to the farm
ers of the different sections would be
impossible, because too many points of
difference exist in the different parts of
the country. The pasture that would
keep we'll one breed might not half keep
another. Small COWS. can travel over
much more steep ana rough ground than
can larger ones, and if pasture is scant,
the smaller 10Y would stand the better
chance of obtaining more food.
Large cattle are bred where there is
an abundance of good food, and they
require it wherever they are kept OF
they will decline. Smaller cattle ac-
customed to more moderate fare, will do
well on moderate pasture. Stock
should be transplanted from good to
poor land no more than should trees"

A Rule in Grammar,

The Rrammarian may object that Bret
Harte still places adverbs between the sign
OF the infinitive and the verb. During the
negotiation of the Alabama treaty our
government telegraphed to Washington
that this must not be done. We had made
great concessions, but we could not con-
cede to faithfully maintain" in place of
faithfully to maintain" Whether the
phrase was of English or American orr
gin, it was altered by Mr.. Fish and Lord
Grey and all was peace. Bret Harte is not
80 scrupulous on this point as Mr.. Glad
stones government was then, but many
readers will consider the matter atrihe.-

THE POULTRY YARD.
Pekin Ducks,

The Pekin duck introduced from
China afew years aeo,is one ofthe larg-
est varieties and under good manage
ment the most profitable. It's color is
pure white, which makes it's feathers
popular. It is not very hardy, and is
especially susceptible to injury from
wet and filth. II allowed unrestricted
run in the water in cold weather the
ducks will go lame and become nearly
worthless. Kept dry they produce a
picking of feathers every six weeks
during the warm weather. The females
are also good layers, producing under
favorable conditions 100 eggs per sea-
son. This with the feathers makes
pretty good pay for the cost and care of
keeping.

CapontxIne Fowls.

The object of caponizing is to AM
provethe quality and increase the quail
lty OF the flesh or fowls. A capon will
outsrow a COCK at the same age, inst as
an OK will exceed o bull in weight, and
for the same reasons, which are-that
castration makes an animal less restless
and quarrelsome, and less of the nutri-
ment it digests is divided from flesh
forming. The operation is not very
difficult, and is quickly performed after
a little practice. There need be no
more than 6 to 8 per cent. of the birds
killed, even by an Indifferent OPERATOR;
and as those die by bleeding to death,
they may be eaten as if they had been
hutchered in the regular way.-Poultry

MORE poultry and less pork. Why?
l. Chickens and eggs are more whole

of corn fed to fowls will produce a
greater weight of food than the same
amount of corn fed to hogs. 3. And
taking into account the amount of

the comparative price, pork is almost
three times as costly a food as poultry

Jersey Cattle for Beef

In some recent experiments by the
Michigan Agricultural College, the sur
prising result was found that Jersey
beef, though costing more per pound to
fatten, was enough better so that for
those who appreciate the difference be-
tween good beef and poor it would pay
to fatten it. This is contrary to the
common impression among farmers.
The small size of Jersey cattle has
turned attention from this breed for the
butcher, but it had in these experiments
a smaller percentage of waste meat than
any other, end was especially fine
favored in I'll parts. These expert
ments have not been tried far enough
yet to be conclusive. individual
peculiarities of form have much to do
with the amount of waste in animals,
and the flavor OF meat is, as every one
knows, greatly dependent upon what
the animal has been fed.-Americau
