FARM NOTES.
Kansas City Star

Milk your cows clean if you would have
them milk long.
Poultry costs less to produce than beef
and brings higher average price.
Can we grow all our wool, that is, all
the wool we need for home consumption ?
is a question that is asked. Why? We
have the land and climate, and can have
the sheep.
If a farmer has a good grass farm let
him make speciality of hay; if he has a
taste for corn and roots, let him make
them a speciality; if love for raising
horses and cows or making butter, let him
put his brain and muscle into these.
There is one daily ration that may be
used with advantage everywhere and I'M
der any circumstances or conditions. 1t
costs nothing, but yields much pleasure
and profit, simple and compound. 1t
consists of gentleness, kindness-to be
given in large quantity. morning and eve
ming, and especially at milking time.

RIDICULING AN INVENTOR.
Opposition in Europe to Engineer stephen
sons Proposition to Build a Railroad

George Stephenson, the celebrated en-
gineer, used to speak with indignation of
how the Parliament men" badgered and
bafled him with their book learning
when he proposed to build railroad from
Liverpool to Manchester.
The smoke from the engine said
these learned men. will kill all the birds,
and the sparks will set fire to the fields
and houses. The passengers will be made
seasick; the noise will brighten away the
game, and thousands of coachmen and inn
keepers will be thrown out of employ
ment.
The fast mail coaches were driven at the
rate of ten miles an hour. When Stephen
son asserted that his steam coaches would
attain to much more rapid rate of speed,
he was laughed at and hooted as a crack
Drained enthusiast.
~ GU must not claim speed over if
teen miles an hour" said the nervous
counsel of the promoters of the railroad
to Stephenson, just as he vas about to
appear before a parliamentary commit
tee.
A member of the committee, opposed tc
the proposed railroad, thought he could
make the supplemented engineer assert
an absurdity that would kill the pro-
lect.
Well, Mr.. Stephenson, he asked, 'per
haps you could go seventeen miles al
hourf''
Yes"
Perhaps twenty miles an hour?'
Certainly"
twenty-five, dare say. You do moi
think 1t possible?'
Dangerous, thought
Certainly not
Now tell me, Mr.. Stephenson; will yos
say that you can go thirty miles al
| hour.
Certainly"
| The fish was hooked to an absurdity, 81
every member of the committee thought
| and they all leaned back in their chair,
and roared with laughter.
Their sons now ride sixty miles in sixt!

Miss Grant came west and married Mr..
Crowell. A few years ago while Mr.
Crowell was still in the service of the
Postsffice department. he was riding over
the Fort Scott & Wichita road The
conductor was new to the business
and was averse to recognize Mr.. Crowell's
credentials. But the president Of the
road happened to be in his car attached
to the rear of the train and the credentials
were referred to him.
Pretty soon the president appeared in
person and led Mr.. Crowell back into his
car.
Your wife, sir, made me president of
this road" he said. IF it were not for

Swift as meteor and as quickly gone,
A train of cars darts swiftly through the night
Scoring the wood and field, it hurries on,
A thing ofwrathful might.
There, from farmers home woman's eyes,
Reused BY sudden jar and passing flare,
Follow the speeding phantom till it dies
An echo on the air.
Narrow the life that always has been hers,
The evening brings longing to her breast;
Deep in her heart some aspiration stirs,
And mocks her souls unrest.
Her tasks are mean and endless as the days,
And sometimes love cannot repay all things;
An instrument that, rudely touched obeys,
Becomes discordant stIngs.
The train that followed in the headlights fare,
Bound for the city and larger world,
Made emphasis of poor life of care,
AS from her sight it whirled.
Thus from all lonely hearts the great earth rolls
Indifferent though one woman grieve and die;
Along its iron tracks are many souls
That watch the world go by.

Information OF the Farm e.

The worst thing that can be impressed

pursuit of agriculture. On the other
hand, the best thing for him is to be
thoroughly imbued with the idea and be-
lief that farmer should be well inform
ed man, with well-trained mind able to
perceive the close connection there is be-
tween bis practice and the physical
science; the value of habits of thought, a
retentive memory, and facility for the
perception of the relation of facts to one
another He should be able to use all his
mental faculties, we'll developed by train
ing as we'll as his hands and muscular
strength. He should be taught that the
hoped-for regeneration of his vocation and
the most profitable pursuit of the business
are to come from the foundation of bett er
rural schools and the better education of
his children.

IN EARLY SPRING.
EDITH n. THOMAS.

Bright days are with us, heightened and serene,
The clods grow mellow, and the forest hath
Its budding pleasures; yet of winters scath
Some drear memorials here and there are seen.
For, though the wind no more breathes frost
keen,
1t often floats the old leaves in our path,
Or signs ong some unreaped aftermath,
To mind US of the rigor that hath been,
0 thou my JOY, spring of my wondrous yearl
Forgive, If in thy presence aught of grief
Remain from that dead time ere thou wsst here
Now, surely, such gainsaying shall be brief;
For thou wilt set my feet where flower and leaf
And soft the new sward blot out the stubble sere.

Defective Methods of Feeding.

In the growth of an animal the needed
amount of food with the varieties requisite
has been the object of much study and ex-
pertinent. But it is impossible ever to
feed farm stock by any invariable rule.
Some exceptions will never come in.
General rules, however, may be followed
with fair success The farmer who neg
lects to learn these principles of feeding
will be a constant loser in small degree,
on every animal kept 1t may be truthfully
said of such farmer, in many cases, that
the more stock he handles, the greater his
losses. Were young man to think of
taking charge of a steam engine or an
electric motor without a fair knowledge
of the workings of the apparatus compos-
ing these intricate agents Of great power,
he would be styled silly. Yet it is not
unusual for boy or any ignorant man to
have almost exclusive charge of the feed
ing of several thousand dollars worth of
live stock. In fact such person often
owns and directs the feeding and care of a
great many valuable animals. Lack of a
little knowledge of symptoms and prevent
ives in the source of great loss in the
aggregate, amounting to heavy balances
on the wrong side of the ledger.

of Very Early Date &.

Isidor, the antiquarian dealer, has
bought u p lot of urns of extremely antique
dute character. But, being DESTROYS of
selling them as goods of extraordinary
value, he decides to bury them in the
earth, to be subsequently dug up on some
fitting occasion.
That there might not be the least doubt
as to their genuineness he gets the services
of poor student TO affix some short Latin
inscriptions, especially impressing ON him
to make the date of their manufacture as
ancient as possible. The student chances
to be an artful fellow and he plays mean
trick on avaricious Isidor. When later

Deep Flowing.

Deep Flowing.
Deep blowing has always been consid-
cred as bugbear by the average farmer,
and much opprobrium has been cast upon
it by the mistake made by its advocates
who have been ignorant 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-
lied subsoil. To eat and digest food are
means of life, but to gorge an animal is to
destroy life, and in like manner the feed
ing of plants is to be made the object
in preparing the soil by the pillow. The
soil should be plowed at least eight inches
deep, as a rule, and to fit it for such plow-
ing it is to be made fertile to that depth
or deeper Only fertile soil is to be deeply
plowed. and every farmer should know OF
what his soil consists, and its condition,
before he puts a pillow in it. If it j. shall.
low and i'll fortified, the first business is
to deepen it and fertilize it gradually until
at least eight inches of soil filled with plant
food are available. Nothing else more
tends to deeply fertilize sol! than plow-
ing under clover, and it would pay any
farmer well to turn under a growth of two
feet Of pea-vine clover, when in full bloom,
nine or ten inches as a beginning of the
deep fertilization of his land.-N. Y.
