Even riches has its drawbacks and

some relief from the cares Of business,
but he received an intimation, it is
said, that If he extended his trip into
that country he was likely to be
captured by the revolutionists and
held for ransom. This shows us that
too much money may become a bur

the fact that few of them are annoyed

pertinent stations have very clearly
shown that the heavier hog weighs
the more II costs for every pound OF
gain. The Massachusetts experiment
station. In a series of experiments ex-
tending over five years, found that
New England farmers cannot make
money by raising pork at &c dead
weight with pigs weighing over l75
or i 80 pounds when crossed. The ex-
perience OF hundreds OF practical
farmers has been the same. Yet
thousands OF farmers persist In rails
ing 300 and 40O-pound hogs. They
know that every pound OF gain over
200 pounds costs all or more than 1t
brings in, yet they persist in feeding
their heavy hogs. At a recent insti-
tute farmer asked the expert who
gave an address on feeding swine, II
there was any money feeding S0-ccnt
corn to hog weighing over 200
pounds. He said that he could raise
his hogs to 200 pounds all right, but
in getting them from there to 400
pounds he lost money. OF course he
did and he knew it, yet the habit of
feeding to this weight was so fixed
that he would not change The
farmer will feed his 400-pound hogs
until he dies, but his sons have either
left the farm disguised with 1t, or
else go in for making money by new
methods when they get in charge. =

Aericui uraI Notes.

SCALD your hog just as soon as it is
done bleeding.
KEEP the stables clean and let the
horses and cows have a good bed.
IMPROVE the roads, lessen the
fences, save the manure.
How MANY acres do the fences on
your farm waste?
How is the road along your farm?
Can it be improved? How?
POTATOES are best kept in cool
place-just above freezing is good
temperature.
Poor roads are the heaviest tax
most farmers bear. Reduce the tax
by improving the roads.
GOOD roads, clean culture and a
few fences will help on the day when
farming will be more profitable.
How DID you find the school the
last time you visited it? Any i'm
provement since you were there be-
fore?
WHAT did your fence corners pro-
duce last year? Are they going to
he used the same way the coming
season?
DID you ever figure on the amount
of corn you could raise on the land
used in fences and the waste land
they make?
Sow CLOVER and you will not only
get the finest hay that is ever fed to
animal, but you will enrich your
ground at the same time.

THE POULTRY-YARD.
Poultry ON the Farm.


Most farmers consider poultry on
the farm more of nuisance than a
benefit and only tolerate fowls on the
farm because the old women like to
have them around, writes Aunt
Betsy, in GARNER and Breeder"
Such men either forget or ignore the
fact that the good housewife and her
chickens supply most of the neces-
saries such as coffee, tea, sugar, etc.
yes, and 1 know more than one
place where they supply the tobacco
also. Were it not for this despised
source Of supply the husband would
have to provide the hard cash for the
''store goods or go without them and
any one that lives on farm knows
that there are times when it is diff
cult to get ready money. But fresh
eggs and poultry will always bring
the cash no difference what time in
the year. But there is class of pro-
gressive farmers who have discovered
and will acknowledge that poultry is
of great value on the farm, and every
year we find a few more going into
the business and trying to ''grade
up" as they call it by having few
thoroughbred ROSTERS. We find a
few more willing to take poultry
papers and learn from others that
have made it success, but il is very
hard to get some people out of the
old rut. "You can't tell me any
thing about raising chickens, the old
dung hill is just as good as your
thoroughbred. The trees are good
enough for hens to roost IN" The
hen is kicked about il she comes into
the barn, and all she gets to eat is
what she steals: then if she don't lay
-'Chickens don't pay" Try build
ing hen house, one that is comfort
able and warm, give the hens the
same care as other stock gets, supply
them with green food, such as turnips,
onions, and potatoes, sometimes
cooked, and at others simply chopped
or mashed; plenty Of charcoal, lime,
gravel, or broken shells, all of which
the farmer can get with little
trouble generally on his own farm.
and then with plenty Of milk and
fresh water, my word for it, they will
pay better than any stock you have
on the farm.

LIVE STOCK AND DAIRY.
The Cattle Industry.

There arc very few farms in our
whole country where the cattle in
dustry may not protltably be made to
supplement the cultivation OF crops.
If the products of the soil are con-
verified into beef, milk, wool, pork,
etc, by intelligently feeding them
out to good stock, the farmer may
calculate in getting the ultimate
value that is contained in them.
When sold from the farm the pro-
ducts pass through the hands of vari-
Gus dealers and manufacturers, each
of whom procures some profit. BY
feeding the farmer turns manufac-
turer himself, and, besides this, he
saves one important element of value
(the fertilizing properties) OF which
no one else would take any account.
To farm without stock entails one OF
two things-the buying of commercial
manures or the constant deterioration
OF the soil. 1t should not be difficult
for any man to determine what course
to pursue, in the face of such an al
tentative. Wisconsin Agriculturist.

Poultry Notes.


IN Horticulture, nothing can take
the place of "keen eye" anda ''quick
mind" to see that ''all is WELL"
GATHER your eggs as soon after
laying as maybe. They are liable tO
become broken in the nests and eaten
by the hens, thus laying the founda-
tion of a very bad habit.
THE farmer must breed white fowls.
They are just as good In every respect
as dark ones, and better in this feature,
viz: their appearance upon the meat
stand in market Is fine and clean,
their pin feathers being white, are
not noticed, whereas every dark pin
feather is sure to stand out in bold
and ugly relief.
PERHAPS your flock of poultry
needs new fresh blood for its invigor-
alton. If 50 the sooner the matter is
attended to the better. A good
male bird has considerable value and
therefore it is folly to expect to OBJ
tain such, save by the payment of a
good price. A real good fowl is
cheaper at $500 than a poor one is
at IS cents or $l.00.
ABsoRBENTs are of great value to
the poultry house. Dry loan, smuck,
coal ashes, etc, are splendid for
talking in not only moisture and
dampnesS, but also the various
noxious gases, such as ammonia and
carbonic acid gas, which are always
present in greater or lesser quanti-
ties. A pure dry atmosphere is es-
sential to health. mn ~

A Door Combination.

One of the most convenient things
on nay farm is a stable door and its
attachments. Frequently want to
leave it open six inches nights to create
n draft for the comfort of the horses
To leave it open wide would endanger
them because OF rowing stock. A
strap securely fastened inside has a
slot cut in 1t. This is slipped in
stantly over the head of a screw on
the outside of the door and nothing
can open it until'the strap is lifted
and pulled. If on driving up / de-

fruit, especially the small fruits, ana
to garden vegetables So soon as the
farmer grows enough OF all kinds OF
vegetables for table use In their aear

only wealthy men can afford. As he
thinks over what he would have been
Obliged to pay for such table delica-
cies, the harder lines OF his life fade

table with all garden delicacles, and
If there is surplus 1t will be sure OF

ValuabIe Hints.

MUSHROOMS are very rich in nitro

are easily prepared, and very palata-

from the poisonous growth, it is best
not to risk gathering them.

Objectionable when not worn too
tight. A well-tlttng corset is great
comfort as every woman knows. We

and it Will do better than when dosed
with soothing syrups.

a tree that has been in blossom is
MANFRED some year when no blossoms

AT this time OF year IL Is easy to
notice by the buds what apple trees
will be in bearing this year. Manur-
ing these cannot be mistake, as the

Think what it means Absolute

they couldn't have faith in it. 1t
