farm Notes.

If your hay crop is short it will be
we'll to make preparations for the proper
preservation of you corn fodder. Ar
range to have it moved near the barn or
COW sheds before it is seriously injured
by the weather.
Railways keep tile on the farm. There
are times at all seasons of the year
when you can conveniently do a little
ditching if you have the material at
hand. When passing the tile mill with
your wagon or buggy, load on a few
pieces of such a size as you think will
be most convenient and take them home
to use when needed. 1t is attention to
small matters OF this kind hat helps to
make farming pay, and the mes who
observe this rule are the most prosper
Gus.
There is n growing restlessness
among the young farmers of this coun-
try. Not content with their situation,
they begin to look for a fairer and bot
ter land as soon as they arrive at man
hood. The old farm is left behind for
q cattle ranch, an orange grove, a cot
ton plantation, a great wheat farm, or
for the factory or store in the great
cities. and the happiness and camfort
of early life on the farm is for q while
forgotten. But the chances are that
the young man will see his mistake
sooner or later and heartily wish him
self back on the old homestead. No
class of men should become SO attached
to the land that constitutes their home
as q farmer, for he not only lives upon
it, but from it. Food and drink come
to him from it, and he learns to read
each foot of its surface as other men
learn to read a book. His children are
born upon it, and there grow up to
manhood and womanhood, receiving
health and strength and the nourish-
ment of their bodies from it, 80 that
they verify partake of the soil, an3 it
becomes a part of them. Young man,
stand by the old farm, whether it be in
the east, west, north or south part of
this grand country. 1t has been 9
friend to you in the past, and will con-
tinue to provide generously for you if
you give it a chance.
Rye sown among the corn, just before
the last blowing, will make a splendid
late pasture, which will very materially
add to the winters supply of grain and
hay. 1t will also send your stock to
winter quarters in a fine, healthy con
dition.
Canadian horse breeders are making
an effort to establish a record for the
French Canadian horse. The new horse,
the Farmers Advocate says, will be o
distinct breed, in appearance resem-
bling the Hackney, OF medium size,
symetrical in form and possessing great
endurance.
The Rural World is evidently dis
pleased with the dog law of Missouri,
judging from the following: ''Our
farmers will never make sheep breeding
and wool and mutton growing q success
so long as dogs are more highly es.
teemed than sheep. The cut and dried
politician will never make q success
with a dog law. He who wears il
knows best where the shoe pinches,
and the farmer is the best dog law
maker we ever expect to get. Give us
farmers. then. as legislators, that they
may bring practical common sense to
bear on this question" ~
During the months Of June and July
butter was a drug upon the market.
In some cities a good article only
brought 8 to 10 cents q pound and there
was no demand at all for the lower
grades. The low price is attributed to
the mild winter, which encouraged the
production of fresh butter and dimin.
ished the consumption Of the old. Also,
to the increased consumption Of cleo.
