coMMoN.seNsE FARM TENS.

THE market for the finest products
are seldom if ever glutted.
BRAINS on the farm are more valuable
than capital. Farming really combines
several occupations, and there is always
something to learn.
THE wide-awake farmer visits other
farms than his own. When he finds
conveniences, methods and crops better
than at home it inspires him to greater
effort.
EVERY farm should be an experiment
station, with plots for making expert
ments. The humblest farmer is capable
of discovering something that may be
Of advantage.
A TUSBLE-DowN building should be
torn down and converted into fire-wood
rather than to allow II to disfgure the
farm. A single ric1ety out building,
worth not over ten dollars will iniure
the sale of farm ten times its Yalue.
THR farmer who carefully saves all
the manure, and uses every endeavor
to preserve it. is the one who also uses
fertilizers. Such a farmer is never
over-supplied with the materials that
are necessary to increase the fertility of
his soil.
A FARMER should take care to keep
easy and safe ways of ingress and
egress to his cultivated fields. More
wagons are broken down by going
through deep burrows or over ridges
than by twice the travel on smooth
highways.
THE successful farmer is one who
keeps his eyes open, his farm clean, and
his stock in good condition. makes
money. And, it might be well to add,
who uses his means for the advance
ment, morally and Intellectually, of his
family and the community

FACTS IN NATURAL HISTORY.

II you catch an animal in steel trap
every minute it stays there its meat is
growing worse.
ALTHOUGH the virus from wolf-bite
is not more virulent than that from the
bite of rabid dog, yet its action on
the blood is much more rapid.
SOME hunters will not eat the meat of
a deer that has been run and worried
by dogs, but only of those which have
been killed by what is called still hunt
ing-that IS which are shot and killed
and so don't suffer much before they die
IT is believed that there is no reason
why African elephants should not be
tanned and trained to the service Of
man. The Carthagenian army OF Han
nibal possessed some elephants, but
they may have been imported by the
Phenicians from Ceylon- The natives
of Africa nowhere care for capturing
and DEMONSTRATING wild animals.
IT is a curious reflection on the intel
Hgence Of mankind that while animals
easily learn our language, we make no
advance at all in learning theirs. One
can not help hoping that some future
generation Of men may be sufficiently
kind and patient 10 believe that what
these dependent creatures have to say
TO Us may sometimes be as important as
what we have to say to them.

Warden Weeks Recommends That They
BE Dressed in Stripes.
Warden Weeks, of the State prison.
has fled his report with the Board of
Supervisors Of Dane County. He says:
The average length OF terms OF prisoners,
exclusive Of life terms and indeterminate SEN
fences, for the past two years has been two
years, six months, and two days. against two
years, two months. twenty seven days the pre-
ceding two years. Twenty prisoners have
been received on general sentence under chap
ter $40, laws Of 1889. and three Of them have
been released on parole although none Of them
have compiled with the rules Of the board OF
supervision governing discharges under this
law. II is my opinion that no prisoner
should be taken outside the walls unless
he is dressed in stripes that he may be
recognized by neighbors and passers- by. None
Of the four prisoners that have escaped the
past year would have succeeded in getting
away had they been dressed in this manner;
and am Of opinion that strip for al of them
would be conducive TO good discipline The
gray clothing now worn is so common that at a
distance Of few rods one IS unable to distin-
guish a prisoner from a citizen in working
clothes The past two years have brought US
sixty-one prisoners who are known to have been
in prison before. Fifty OF them are serving a
second term, nine their third term and two
their fourth term. l believe there should be a
provision OF law giving prisoners sente .ced for
third or fourth term very long if not life

SOME MILK STATISTICS.
The Tremendous Capital Invested in the
Dairy Industry.

The Tremendous Capital Invested in the
Dairy Industry.
The American Analyst says there are
81, 900, SOC. 00o invested in the dairy bust
ness in this country. That amount is
almost double the money invested in
banking and commercial industries. 1t
is estimated that it requires 100000
cows to supply the demand for milk and
and its products in the United States.
To feed these cows 60,0c0, 900 acres of
land are under cultivation. The agri-
cultural and dairy machinery and inn
plements are worth $500, 600, 600. The
men employed in the business number
$50, 600, and the horses over 1000, 900.
There are over 10000, 900 horses all told.
The cows and horses consume annually
10000, 600 tons of hay and nearly
90. 900, 900 bushels of corn meal, about
the same amount of oat meal, 275, 900, 900
bushels Of oats, 100000 bushels of
bran, and 3O,OOO,0 900 bushels of corn, to
to say nothing of the brewery
grains, sprouts and other ques-
tionable feed Of various kinds
that are used to great extent. 1t costs
$40. 900, 600 to feed these cows and
horses. The average price paid to the
laborer necessary in the dairy business
is probably $50 per month, amounting
to $50. 600, 600 year. The average COW
yields about 80 gallons of milk year,
which gives a total product of 6,750,000,
600. Twelve cents a gallon is fair
price estimate the value of the milk
at a total return to the dairy farmers of
$50, 900, 600, if they sold all their milk
as milk But fifty per cent of the milk
is made into cheese and butter. 1t takes
twenty-seven pounds of milk to make
one pound of butter and about ten
pounds TO make one pound of cheese.
There is the same amount of nutrition
albuminoids in eight and one-haf
pounds of milk that there is in one
pound of beef. A fat steer furnishes
fifty per cent. Of homeless beef, but it
would require 24,0O0,OOo steers, weigh

amount of nutrition as the annual milk
