ers? What is the little part of the
world that we occupy, if it has no flow
ers? Much more of desert than need
be.
Whatever is the most easy done, is
concluded by some people to be the best
way. We think we shall state nothing
startlingly new when we say that it is
not necessarily true.
Gall flesh is grass" it is said per
contra, all grass is flesh. Then, natur-
ally and logically, he who cultivates
grasses raises horses and cattle. In
otner words, the two go together, and

One of the eccentricities of this
country is thus stated: A9OO-pound cow
in Texas will not bring over SIS in Chi
cago. Deducting the freight, S4.25 from

Please tell me how to prevent the
effects of intoxicating liquor, asked a
man of the doctor. Don't drink it, was

1t is often said that a pig will eat
up the refuse on the farm and turn it
into value. That is true, and there is
no special objection to feeding what re-
fuse there is upon a farm, but when rot

"A writer says that warming water
for cows is good thing for New En-

cold water is the same, and as twenty

and cold weather.
"A special value of the peanut crop

peanuts, weighing twenty-five pounds
in the hull, will yield one gallon of oil

1t is claimed, says the National
Stockman, by those in position to
know, that it is only by combination, OF
cooperative manufacture, that any thin
like the needed amount of good butter
is produced. The very best butter in
the market-sn article which has less
competition than any other-is of indi.
vidual manufacture, but is wholly mad
equate in quantity to supply the need:
of these who know a good from a medi'
OGRE article.
Peanuts are largely used to adul
terate chocolate, and, so far as whole
