the handle turned, and the door opened
a little way and real child peeped in.
A bright little comedy girl, with large
dark eyes.
Looking full at me, the tiny creature
took off her mite of straw hat, and a
quantity of dark curls fell all about her
face. Then she opened her lips, and
said in a pretty voice:

'Ah, my Godr' I cries out, "she can

In moment Sophy was round my

band was a-wringing my hand with his
face hid, and we all had to shake our
selves together before we could get over
it. And when we did begin to get over

The Beef Business.

Bunches of Montana native steers are
selling for from eighteen to twenty dol
lars head. This is good buying, for as
an investment in two years they will
prove better than any other property
that is to be found. Within the last two
years sheep have become about the best
paying property that could be handled
Now every man wants to buy sheep
when they are high priced, and sell out
cattle because cattle are only bringing
fair prices.
In view of all this, the question may
not inaptly be asked, When will stock
men learn wisdom? In the light of past
history it has ever been this way. Has
the spirit of patience in well doing fled
from the seat of reason? Do the signs of
the times, intelligently read, offer no ev-
licences that there is in the near future
probabilities and strong posi- bilities of a
genuine return to prices that point the
way to prosperity? Present prices for
good beef cattle are by no means to be
despised, and warrant breeders and
range cattlemen in staying with the bust.

to increase their beef herds.-Stock

Hamlin, MaInbrino King, Idol King and
The Bard. As to the heavy truck and
express horse, the humble street car and
cab hack, or even the gallant high
stepping beast of the grocer's cart, all
these would have been simply hooted
down. Their cousins in that show would
have been ashamed to recognize them.
Which proves that the useful work
horse and the farm horse must be bred
in the west and in Canada. Their hum
bic merits will obtain recognition at a
western show, but not in New York.
This is, however, nothing against New
Workers. 1t is nothing against anybody.
If New Workers win pay handsome prices
for stylish carriage and saddle horses,
then it win be to the interests of breed
ers to raise them, and these will bring
in as good returns as any other kind,
better than most, in fact.
If then breeder wishes to raise
horses that will pay best in the New
York market, let him turn his attention
to handsome, good sized carriage ami
mails and saddle stock. There will also
be an excellent demand for the smaller
carriage horses too, well matched ami
mails weighing from 900 to 1000
pounds each, of the size between horse
and pony. Many of the handsomest
pairs of carriage horses were not con-
spicuously wen matched, it must be con-
fessed. The shrewd breeder has only to
watch the drift of public fancy and sup
ply the want, and he will succeed best
who can fill it first.

Merinos rbat prake nronev.

When sheep without any other than
Merino blood can be brought to yield
carcasses of $50 pounds while grow
ing one pound of fleece per month
the year round-and this, too, under
the handicap of frontier surround
ings-it would seem that the time has
arrived for change of tune by those
who have so long confined their efforts
to the repetition of funeral dirges. Such
achievements as those Of Taylor in Wy
oming, Crane in Utah, Boutwell, in Mis-
souri, and numbers of other clear headed
and determined flock owners, both east
and west, distinctly mark pathway out
of the wilderness in which some other
fine woolgrowers have been wandering.
1t does not seem vain to hope that all
whose interests prompt them to look
that way may hereafter plainly see this
road and place themselves in line for
that prosperous future which The Gazette
has always believed was neither inacces-
sible nor very far away. - Breeders

Honesty in Christmas Giving.

The extent to which men and women
ordinarily honest and truthful grow dis
honest and untruthful at this season of
the year is lamentable. AS the fact is
largely due to thoughtlessness it is well
worth while to mention the matter with
warning intent.
Ii you give present at Christmas you
do so by way of protesting affection or
regard for the person to whom you make
the gift. If you feel no such affection
or regard, but make the present from a
sense OF social obligation or with view
to some possible advantage to be got
from fattery, you are a hypocrite.
If by reason of vainglory or shame
facedness, or what not, you give more
costly presents than you can afford you
are dishonest pretender, a sham, and
are acting in the spirit of the funky
who pretends to be my lord
In all such giving there is not grace.
but shame. 1t is utterly out of tune
with the spirit of the holiday season.
the spirit of good will and gladness and
true friendship.
The value of Christmas gift lies in
the testimony it gives of the affection
that prompts it, If that testimony be
false the gift is forsworn. If that testi-
mony be true it matters not at all what
its form may be.
Ii you can afford rich gift and are
moved by affection to make it. all is
well. But if your means be small and
your affection great the expression may
be made as effective as in the other case.
There was poor little toddler once, the
son of laundress, who on Christmas
morning spent his solitary penny for a
clay pipe, and toiled through the snow to
give it, with radiant face, to one for
whom he had conceived an affection. 1t
was very common clay pipe. and he to
whom it was given possessed carven
meerschaums with costly amber stems.
But this was to him the most precious of
them all, because in the smoke wreaths
that rose from it he saw the love of
little child reflected.
That was a true Christmas Gift. hon.

DRAFT OF WAGONS.
Report of Trials Made at the Missouri
and Utah Experiment Stations.


Report of Trials Made at the Missouri
and Utah Experiment Stations.
Bulletin No. 10 of the Missouri Agri-
cultural college and No. of the Utah
experiment. station are the sources of
the following summary which, from its
practical nature, can hardly fail to be in.
teresting to farmers:
/. Wheels with felloes one and half
inches wide drew on moist. but close
blue grass sward, 41.6 per cent. harder
than wheels with felloes three inches
wide did. On dirt road, slightly moist.
the former drew 1871 per cent. heavier
than the latter.
2. Draft on moist roads, according to
degree of moisture, is harder than draft
on hills varying in rise fsaln one foot in
eight to one foot in twenty.
3. Draft on a plank road is about one
fiftieth of the load and not one-seventh
of the draft found on mud road in its
ordinary condition after rain.
A. A load over the hind wheels drew 10
per cent. easier than over the front
wheels. The hind wheels drew 1910
inches high when the attachment was
made to each set of wheels, but by the
usual hitch drew harder on account of
the downward incline of the reach con-
Meeting them with the front wheels.
8. Lowering the reach on the hind
wheels decreased draft.
I 9. Wagons draw easier when the draft
has an upward incline and harder when
horses are hitched on the end of the
pole.
z. Loose burrs reduce the draft is per
cent.
8. Lard, Frazers axle grease, cylinder
oil and castor oil decreased draft in the
order named.
0. The load that could be drawn on vary
ing roads tested varied from 1 ,310 pounds
on loose, grayelly road, just made, to
1856 pounds on good gravel road and
to over $4,000 pounds on plank road.
Other varieties Of roads were tested as
well as the influence of grade. Draft
varied on grades very closely to their
theoretical variations.
Nothing could be written that would
nloIe Iorcioly emphasize the Importance
OF better construction Of the country
roads. The varying amounts of power
required to move q load on roads accord
ing to the smoothness or hardness of
their surfaces, or otherwise, should in
cite all interested to a general movement
for their improvement. The advantage
OF wide over narrow felloes is worthy of
note. Again, the comparative value Of
the substances named as lubricants is
not commonly estimated in the order
above given.

Notes.

Notes.
How can COW have the "milk and
beef form?"
II requires 100000 cows to supply
this United States with milk, cheese and
butter.
One of the best after dinner cheeses ia
the strong, rich Edam, which is now
made In America.
The live stock and dairy business, and
even farming, is now carried on by COM
binations of proprietors.
Two billion dollars are invested in the
dairy business Of this country. This is
almost twice as much money as is in
vested in manufacturing and commercial
interests.
The dairyman who does not breed his
own COWS, but merely buys fresh ones
and sells them when they go dry, buying
other fresh ones in their place, viii need
to DO good judge of dairy cow.
The story is going the rounds again
about large snake which was found
milking cow. What was the COW do
ing while the snake was milking her.
and how did the snake reach the cows
udder? Did it stand upon its tail?
Poultry rearers are apt to give rather
too much sulphur to their focks. A
very small quantity during the moulting
season may perhaps be dosed out to
them with profit if weather be dry; but
in wet weather sulphur fed to chickens
make them lame and rheumatic. Cases
of leg weakness have been traced direct
ly to this cause.
A feeding experiment at the Maine
agricultural station shows that it costs
only eleven dollars year more to feed
1000 pound Holstein COW than to feed
300 pound Jersey; but this by no
means determines the relative value Of
the two animals. Will the Holstein's
carcass dressed for beef sell for eleven
dollars more than the JERSEYS? And
during the year which cows milk and
butter was worth most?

THE LARGEST CREAMERY.
Seven Hundred Farmers Supply 1t with
Cream Daily.

Seven Hundred Farmers Supply 1t with
Cream Daily.
Probably the largest creamery In the
world is that at st. Adams, VT. The
building itself Is three stories high, with
1900 feet Of floor room. In the cellar is
the boiler, a forty horse power engine,
and the tanks for buttermilk. The first
floor is the factory proper, in which the
cream is received and pumped up to the
story above, where are ten tanks hold
ing 600 gallons each, and where are also
the testing rooms, offices, etc. 1t is re-
turned again to the first floor to be
churned, worked and packed as butter
into tubs. The third story is used as a
storage room for tubs, salt and other
equipments.
All cream received is tested frequent
ly enough to obtain thorough knowl-
edge Of the amount of butter fat in the
average products Of the farmers dairy,
and he is credited not only with so
many pounds Of cream, but also with its
butter value. The average of butter fat
is less than per cent, but the extremes
are 1926 and Ats. The milk is not
brought to the creamery, but is received
at forty-four stations located at various
points within twenty-six miles of st.
Adams, and there the cream is separated
and shipped in special cars to the cream
cry.
About 700 farmers with $4,000 cows
are now supplying the cream for the
factory, and the average daily product
is 10000 pounds, but it is gaining patrons
each month, and they hope to reach
their full capacity Of 10000 pounds
daily. They run ten churns, each of
which will churn 500 pounds of butter
at time, and four butter workers, upon
which eighty pounds can be worked and
sailed in % very few minutes. 1t takes
carload of salt every two months, and
the business keeps sixty hands employed.
The proprietors claim that they have a
demand for even more butter than they
will be able to make when running to
the full capacity, and at prices which
are very satisfactory, although they
were organized less than a year ago, or
in October, 1890, and commenced bust

THE MlSTLETOE.
Enough of 1t Growing in This Country
for All Festal Purposes.
THE END.

Enough OF 1T Growing IN This Country
for All Festal Purposes.
There is mistletoe growing in our own
country quite good enough to answer all
the festal purposes of the mistletoe de-
scended from that which the old Druids
in their white robes cut with a golden
sickle just after the new of the moon.
and distributed for charms against all
evil to their believing tribes, SAYS a
writer in Harper's Bazaar. It is not, in
deed, the true and ancient mistletoe, but
it takes botanist, and good one, to
tell you why not; and it is quite as in
teresting in its appearance, with the
long, oliyelike leaves and the singular
translucent berry with CLEAN of green
in its whiteness, something between a
moonstone and pale cats eye quartz in
tint. 1t grows anywhere in the Virginia
ATTITUDES, abounds upon the mesquite in
Texas, and is usually to be found in the
Washington flower market through the
Christmas holidays.
The plant is certainly beautiful and
curious; but except for its parasitical
origin and growth, which gave it a sort
OF a mystery to the unlearned and prim-
tive mind, it is difficult to see why it
ever attained such eminence as it had.
although it is true that the Druids gave
1t veneration only when found growing
on the oak, which was sacred to the sun
the Druidical worship and that of the
old Persians having much in common;
but it held with them, for whatever
reason, an important part in the great
rites of the winter solstice, corresponding
to our Christmas festivities One of the
old northern myths makes the dart which
killed the beautiful Bladder out of the
mistletoe, which alone of all nature had
not been bound to do him harm, possibly
as showing that there is nothing in the
universe without significance, and with
Him there is no great nor small"

less often on the oak than on the apple
tree, where it kills out whole orchards.
being all but indestructible itself, and
living just as long as there is any sap in
the tree it has chosen; in some regions it
mas indeed become more profitable to
raise and sell than the apples would be.
In England and in the wild state it is
most often sown by the misselthrush;
but it is raised artifcially by crushing
the berries on a bough, to which their
glutlnous matter adheres and where
they generate; others make slit with a
penknife on the underside of branch.
SO that it may not be observed by the
birds and there insert the seed, and
something of weird and mysterious
character is seen in a species of intelli-
gence manifested by it, since, in what
ever direction the seed is pointed. the
radical will turn toward the surface and
fasten itself in such manner as to draw
the most nutriment it can, and it has
even been successfully grated upon
another mistletoe. That it should still
have part in our Christmas keeping is
owing to the fact that we always have
tenderness toward the customs Of our an
cestors. Boston Herald.

The old fashioned agriculturist would
scarcely have known for horses the
modish creatures exhibited at the New
York show. The entry list at the show
included 1,066 horses. The kind of ami
mails they were may be judged from the
fact that of the whole number there
were three Shire stations and one
Percheron. The rest were horses of
fashion. The show was SO popular that
some days it was attended by 20, 900 per-
sons, among them daily the social lead
ers of New York city.
In brief, this exhibit of the National
Horse Show Association of America was
as much a society event as season of
opera would be. 1t is quite probable that
many of those who planned the show
would not know Shire horse from
Percheron, or Clydesdale from Suf-
folk Punch. Hackneys are all the go.
They were the most popular and sought
after animals at the show, They are
evidently to have a great future in
America. For the rest there were saddle
horses and coach horses, ponies, hunters
and infinitesimal Shetlands, trotters,
thoroughbreds and tandem leaders. The
most popular bit of horsefesh appeared
to be an animal that could jump a fence
6 #. 6 in. high without touching. The
only animals outside of these classes that
received popular attention were some
stylish mounts for the swell policemen
