Farm Notes.

Since the introduction of the tomato,
says the Michigan Farmer, no vegetable
has so rapidly changed its position from a
luxury, cared for by few, to a necessity,
eaten by everybody, as celery has done.
Its production is constantly increasing,
and yet the consumption seems to keep
pace with it.
The farmer can sell at better price and
the consumer buy at better one il there
is no middle man to go between them.
Then If it is better for both, why not
strive for the home market, which will
enable both to do better? 1t is only by
means of the home market that these di-
rect sales are possible.
Feeding flavors all animal products.
more especially the fatty parts of them,
SAYS the Practical Farmer. This is due to
the fact that the fats and oils of food are
not digesied, but are absorbed in their
natural condition without decomposition
or change. Hence the great Importance
OF using foods devoid OF ill-flavors or i'm
purities OF any kind
Bloating lie a dangerous form of indiges-
ton in cattle. The enlargement OF the
stomach by the pressure of gas in it inter-
feres with the action of the lungs and
provokes sufOcation. An English rem
edy is to dash CO water over the animals
back. This reduces the temperature of
the stomach and condenses the gas and
favors its escape by eructation or through
the bowels Hestern Rural.
Eight Michigan farmers from near
Ypsilanti went to Dakota eight years ago
with but three or four head of COVE among
them. They can now count up over 400
head of cattle and horses which they have
raised, and which figure as profit. They
have lived through the toughest of the
prairie privations, and now see the way
out by the weary increase in the flocks Of
sheep, cattle and hOrses.-ErchGRge.
Do not fall into the idea that you know
everything about farming. The world is
progressing, and in no other department
is there more progress being made these
days than in agriculture. We can all
learn. Learn from experience, from one
another and FROM those who are making a
life study of the science of farming, and
the more We. learn the better are we pre-
pCred to make a success of our business.

any benefit. II too thick, it only adds

Says n. ]. Shepherd in the Kansas
Farmer: The only cure for low prices is
to increase the yield. With present yields
and present prices it requires good man
agement to be able to realize profit.
We can only increase the yield by enrich
ing the soil, giving more thorough pro-
portion and more complete cultivation.
In proportion as we increase the fertility
We can hope to increase the yield, and in
doing this we can reduce the cost per
bushel so as to be able to realize profit. ="

Ye shining, melancholy stars, that
Have been looked up to by tho wear,
And the wretcbed ever since the mournfA
P.eiades first shown upon breaking
Human hearts. Are ye sad TO us
Because we know that you are the only
Link between all present life and
The forgotten nations that have lived
Out their days and passed away, long
Before his tory had a voice or legend an
Echo-between US and all the races of
Men who have gazed upon you, and
Worshired and wept aud died?
We know that ever since human
SOrroN has forced seeking into the dark
Mysteries of life and death, you have
Been shining there. The young husband,
Turning from the couch Of his dead wife,
Has stretched up to you his pleading hands,
And piteOusly ontreaied for one
Glimpse OF his fair June bride, and
Asked in which OF your beauteous worlds
She is now walking with shining feet.
The heartbroken mother In the hush OF
Midnight, has listened to hear her deceased
FirStborn whisper ole comforting word
From out yon celestial orbS: and ths
BetTothed lover, bending over his plighted
Ones new made grave, has questioned
Your impenetrable mysteries, and wept
Because o. gave him no sign Of the
Dear departed.
II may be that you will calmly shins
On this wornout world, "Iock-ribbed and
Ancient rs the sum-" when everv trace Of
ThrObbing life shall have gone from It's
Surface forever-when oceans will roll
Their waves over pyramids, lanes and temples,
Over Handicapped towers aRd gorgeous
Pa'aces;'' the tombs OF kings and The
MOnumentso heroes; when all tho
Manifold voices of bygone centuries
Shall be mute and still,
Is it possib that this can be? That
time may come in which there shall be
No lie. nor pulse. nor motion? When the
Whoe human race will be as the
Countless dead who now lie an hundred
Fathoms beneath Atlantic's pillows; when
Never more earth will be heard the
Joyous notes of the Matin hymn. or
The musical chime OF the Angelus bells?
We prayerfully ask these questions of you,
Ye burning stars, and why will 70
Not answer2 Oh! why?

and aids in cleanliness

Good sand aids in cleanliness.
Feeding troughs will always save feed.
Eggs a month old will not do for hatch
ing.
Young ducks need careful feeding at
first.
Guineas will almost invariably hide
their nests out.
Geese and ducks need bulky food in
stead of so much grain.
Supplying good drainage will aid ma
terially in preventing roup.
Keep a watch on the turkey hens or
some Of the eggs will be lost.
A number of foods may be used to good
advant 'ge in feeding poultry.
In using artificial mothers care should
be taken not to keep too warm.
The best plan of stopping feather eat
ing is to kill those that begin it,
Generally it is the poultry for egg pro-
duction that pays the farmers best.
A two-feet high woven wire fence will
generally be sufficient to keep ducks in or
out.
A tablespoonful of coperas in the drink
ing water for younger fowls will be found
healthy.
While bran makes an excellent food for
poultry it should never be fed dry or raw
always scald it thoroughly.
Rats are often very troublesome among
young poultry. causing considerable loss
they must be guarded against
Care must always be taken in putting
any kind OF oil or grease on young chick
ems too much will often prove fatal
Eight average hen eggs will weigh
pound, but there is considerable differ
ence between the largest and the smallest.
After the fowls can be given a free
range care should be taken not to over
feed; very little corn is needed from this
time on.
Tame hens sit better and will fatten
better and easier than when they are
frightened every time something ap-
proaches them.
One advantage with ducks is that they
grow rapidly and can be turned into
money in a short time-in less time than
almost any other fowl.
Whenever il can be done, eggs from
late Matched turkeys should never be used
for Matching; they ought to be selected
from well-matured hens.
One of the advantages with geese is that
If they can be given a good pasture range
they will need little extra feeding, at least
during the growing season.
The largest geese for market are secured
by mating q Toulouse gander and an
Embder goose; with good feeding the
| cross will grow to good size.
Whenever the hens lay thin-shelled
eggs it is almost a sure indication that
they need lime. Generally fowls that run
at large do not need to be supplied, but
those that are confined must have a regu-
lar supply.
From this time on milk can always be
/ fed to poultry to advantage. It is cheap
and wholesome and all that the fowls will
eat can be given with benefit.
Droopiness among the young chickens
is almost sure indication of lice. A little
grease or coal oil over the top OF their
heads and under their wings will usually
remedy the trouble.

What l wish to write about is kindness.
More hearts pine away for want Of kind
ness from those who should be their com-
forters than for any other calamity in
life. A kind word and a pleasant voice
are gifts easy to give Be liberal with
them. They are worth more than money.
If a word or two will render a person
happy, he or she must be wretch indeed
who will not give it. There is nothing
like kindness in the world. 1t is the very
principle of love, an emanation of the
heart which softeDs and gladdens, and
should be inculcaIed and encouraged in
all our intercourse with our fellow-beinga
A little word in kindness spoken,

Has often healed the hesrt that's broken,
And made q friend sincere.
