Prosperous DaIrying.

W. Fl. Morrison, superintendent of farmers institutes in Wisconsin, says that when the State Dairymen s associ- ation was formed eighteen years ago, the annual Wisconsin dairy product was about S1,oO0, GOO; now 1t is in- creased to $2S, 100000. The value of the dairy products of the United States reaches into the hundreds of millions, annually distributed among the farmers. The dairy business is a renovator, a restorer of wasted soil fertility as we'll as an educator of man. To be a good dairyman means to broaden and become better man and citizen. Wherever one finds a section mainly devoted to dairying there Is found prosperity Nor West Farmer.

The Evil Eye.

The Corsicans are not the only peo- pie in the world who believe in the evil eye, for the Turk is so affected by 1t that he thinks 1t extends it's influ- ences to whatever animals belong to him. Strings of coral are sold on the streets and said to be preventative against the evil. It is very curious to see the donkeys. crowds of which are found in the streets. with strings of coral twisted in their tails. When he gets in violent rage the very worst thing that Turkish gentleman can threaten his donkey with is the taking away os the jewels which protect him from the evil eye. for in this way he will give him over to all kinds of cruelty and the possession of the de- mon. In the markets bits of coral arc laid among the purple grapes or green vegetables with the hope that good luck will come to them and they will bring higher price. Funnily enough. an Egyptian connects woman with any suffering that may come to his eyes. If they ache or hurt he looks out for a blonde woman named Fatima, begs from her bit of bread and in- formation as to where he will find six more Fatimas. that he may ask the same favor of each. Fortunately for him. they do not all have to be blondes, and wise Egyptian father, seeing the value of the name Is apt to give it te one of his daughters so there are plen, ty of Fatimas.

kard and Soft Food,

Experience shows that hard food is better than soft food for poultry, not that 1t contains more nutrition, but for the reason that when soft food is given the hens are tempted to eat a a larger proportion than should be the case. Thegiving of soft food leads to overlooking and impairs the ,liges- ton. It also supplies the wants of the fowl more readily than hard food, and so completely satisfies it that the inducement to work and scratch-so essential to health and the thr.it of the fowLis lessened. There is the fact that when giving soft food the poultryman, by mixing several kinds, Is likely to give more of one kind than may be needed, while with hard grains the fowls have n greater privilege of selection of that which they prefer; but with mixed soft food. they must eat everything of which 1t is composed all or none-and thereby surfet themselves. It is proper to give soft food so as to feed some needed sub- stances, but we believe three times a week sufficient. Give whole grain and scatter it far and wide, or mix it with a litter, thus compelling each len to hun. and scratch for all she receives, which will keep her in health and pro- mote egg production.-Far and Fire.

THE FARM AND FIELD. INTERESTING MATTERS FOR OUR
 RURAL READERS. Farmyard Manure--Dairy AdVan- tages--DefeCtive Methods of Feeding.
Farmyard Manure.

It is evident that farm or animal manure must be the principal depend encefor keeping up fertility of the soil. The use of commercial fertilizers and green crops, as aids, is often advan- tageous, but they should not be relied upon exclusively. It is an item of considerable importance to make, save, and apply all the manure possi- ble; but at the same time 1t is also an item to do the work as economically as possible. The soluble parts of the manure are much the more valuable, and for this reason it is important to use plenty of material as absorbents, so as to retain all of the liquid and readily
 soluble portions. For the same req son 1t is also important to see that the manure isproperly protected from rain, us this causes a loss by teaching and evaporation, and if manure Is thrown into hills to rot, it should be protected from teaching rains.
 Another item in rotting before haul ing out is that during fermentatio.. manure throws off organic manner in m gaseous form and unless consider able care is taken in handling there will be loss of nitrogen. Some use gypsum, spreading in layers as the manure is thrown on, in order to as- slst in retaining the nitrogen.
 The most etfectual plan of prevent ing loss is to haul the manure and scatter directly on the fields where it is needed. If the ground is powed there will be very small loss ofplant food in any form. On steep hillsides where there is Q strong liability to wash, there may be some loss; on land that is reasonably level there will be little if any loss, the valuable parts being taken up and re- tainei by the soil. Of course well routed manure contains a larger per cent of soluble matter. and will be of less benefit to the succeeding crops than when applied fresh. It re- quires time to thoroughly rot manure whether in piles in the yard, or in the field There IS more work and more risk of loss by piiing and rotting be- fore hauling out, and especially so if left without protection; but if proper y handled 1t will decay in less time The more thoroughly the manure is routed and fined the more readily it can le incorporated with the soil, and the better the immediate results se- cured. Whichever plan is followed care must be taken to avoid waste, and at the same time lessen the cost of handling.

Farm NOtes.

Are your stables clean? If not, for the sake of those who drink milk, clean them.
 In selecting vegetables for tho use of the family the garden should contain those of the best quality in preference to size or quantity.
 Some clay lands are so stiff that the water cannot go down. Such lands are benefited by deep ploughing. sub- soiling and tile drainage.
 Economy in feeding means provid- ing the cows with a generous allow ance of the food that will produce the most returns.
 Don't leave tools ofany kind lying out in the weather. Have place for everything and have everything in its place.
 Give your floral plants sufficient water, but not too much. If the water be about the same temperature as the air, it will be better than having it either too warm or too cold.
 Experiments made by German off. cials have demonstrated that a horse. shoe made of layers of parchment pa. per, cemented and pressed together in a hydraulic press, IS much more dur. able than an iron shoe.
 Halter-training cattle should be done while they are calves; it is easy then, a few lessons will do it, and these les sons are never forgotten. It is far better than '.breaking" them while older.
 The light harness horse is becoming quite popular wi1h the well-to-do farmer, who is not slow to recognize that the animal that is we'll fed car outwork any of the fancy foreigners that ever crossed the ocean.

An Old Furniture Man Who Finds Hia
 Business Played Out.

A'ASsAAoSS a~J WI O~ss
 There is local collector who at ono time. dating three or four years back. used to do thriving business by col lecting in his travels ancient pieces of furniture, says the Providence Journal. He owns his occupation is about gone. and being a sensible kind of fellow made it his business to find out the root of the cause of the shrunken revenue. He thinks he was successful and got hold of the root, but it was unavailable, to cause any growth of his business plant, however we'll nurtured He talks about it in this way: Begin ming about ten years back the craze for following up auctions and buying old furniture set in in the country. In the cities it dated away back of that. The first symptom of the disease was old clocks, and 1 find, looking back over my books, I've sold twenty-two in the last ten years. Some of them were fair looking and some were not You sec the way it generally is. an old family about three generations back, that had the wit to make enough money to buy handsome, costly ones, transfuses the same capacity to it's descendants, and they are we'll able to keep any old relic they have, money being no temptation to them to sell. It's generally the ancestorless people who go nosing around after other peoples old things. We'll. after clocks chairs set in, and they had it hard; all broke out with chairs; couldn't sleep nights; fiddle-back chairs mostly
 I've sold them as high as $l0 many a time. l used to buy them in the broken-down stage and sell them to a woman in the city. She slicked them up and sold them for $10; said they came right from dear old grandmas home. The old writinp-desks caught on. When you come to look at it, there's more sense in buying an old desk than in any other old piece, for modern builders have made not so much improvement up to date in these goods. You see, in old times there were no safes used in houses to give se- cure keeping to the law and family documents, so it was necessary to have some receptacle for them. An old desk of curled maple and slantiug fronts. its lot of little pigeonholes, sly locks, and drawer-room is really val. uablo piece of furniture.

Music of the Future.

The music of the future,r says a composer of comic operas, twill be q blending of the German and Italian. not one, but both. Harmony is what the public demands. We have not at present any distinctive American music or school of music. The only dis tinctive school we have are the negro melodies. the great composer of which was Stephen Foster. These melodies embrace the 'Swanee River. Old Folks at Home. Gentle Annie and other well-known tunes. Beyond these we have developed no separate music. Our music, like our race, must be composite.

Farmers and the Fair.

If the worlds Columbian exposition proves to be a great success in one particular more than in another said the Orange Judd Farmer, it will be in its agricultural exhibits. Of this there can scarcely be doubt. When the magnitude and marvellous development of the agricultural interests of this country are considered, and it is noted how great is the enthusiasm through out the agricultural states over the ex- position, and how great is the atten- tention given to the subject by the ex- position management, no other conclu- sion is possible. In all probability the exhibition will be an astonishing revel- ation not only to foreigners, but to very many Americans, by reason of its magnitude and evidences of tho superi- ority of the agricultural interests of this country and of their wonderful progress as indicated by improved methods and better products
 No other interest will surpass the agricultural in the benefit it will reap from its own exhibit at Chicago. The department of agriculture at Washing ton will make scientific demonstra- tIon of methods. going into details and showing how and why the best results are attained. An agricultural con- gress, with series of lectures and dis cussious will be held at which all branches of agricultural industry will be considered by men who have devot- ed their lives to study and experiment in them. They will be most valuable adjuncts to the general agricultural exhibit which will comprise the best products and means of production. gathered from every quarter. This will be of inestimable value in the way of comparison and education.

Stock and Their Drink.

One of the worst things to contend with in the care of stock is their tirink No creature will thrive if compelled to go thirty or forty rods to drink and then get 1t by standing in the mud up to their knees, or in a cold northwest wmd that will chill them so that they won't get warm for the next twenty four hours. Farmers had better hire money at twelve per cent to bring water to their barns than compel their stock to travel of in the fields to drink.

intricate agents of greg, p"wsr, hs would be styled silly. lie. 1t is not unusual for boy or Ssy ignorant man to have almost exclusive charge of the feeding of several thousand dol lars worth of live stock. In fact such a person often owns and directs the feeding and care of a great many valuable animals. Lack of little knowledge of symptoms and prevent ives in the source of great loss--in the aggregate amounting to heavy bal ances on the wrong side of the ledger. Deep Flowing.
 Deep blowing has always been con sidered as a bugbear by the average farmer, al d much opprobruim has been cast upon it by the mistake made ty it's advocates who have been ignorcnt of the principles upon which the practice of blowing land depends. To merely turn the land to a depth of eight, nine, or ten inches is to court disaster by burying fertile surface soil under several inches of raw unfertil- ized subsoil To eat and digest food are means of life, but to gorge an ani- nal is to destroy life, and in like man her the feeding of plants is to be made the object in preparing the soil by the blow. The soil should be plowed at least eight inches deep, as rule, and to fit it for such blowing it is to be made fertile to that depth or deeper. Only fertile soil IS to be deeply plow- ed, and every farmer should know of what his soil consists, and it's condi- tion, before he puts blow in 1t. If it is shallow and i'll fertiized the first business is to deepen 1t and fertilize 1t gradually until at least eight inches of soil filled with plant food are avail able. Nothing else more tends to deeply fertilize soil than blowing under clover, and 1t would pay any farmer we'll to turn under a growth of two feet of pea-vine clover, when in iull bloom, nine or ten inches as a be- ginning of the deep fertilization of his iand.-N.
