FACTS FOR FARMERS.

LARD and kerosene make good ONT
ment to kill lice. Do not put pure
kerosene on fowls as it will blister.
A CEMENT floor is excellent for the
poultry-house. 1t does not harbor rats
and mice and is easily kept dry and
clean.
WHEN you clean the poultry-house do
it thoroughly, Take out everything
movable and sweep and dust until you
are sure there is no corner untouched
in which vermin are hidden.
WHITEwAsH is a necessity inside and
outside, upon the perchen. nests and
everywhere, 1t is cleansing and puri-
flying, and death to insects where it
touches them. Use it literally.
THE best breeds for eggs alone are
Leghorns, Minorcas, Andalusians and
Spanish. But for the farm a general
purpose fowl is to be preferred, such as
Plymouth Rocks, Langshans or Wyan-
dotteS.
IT is the same with poultry rs with
other things in the market-those that
make the best appearance sell first and
bring the best prices. A coop of clean,
large fowls, of uniform size and color,
will sell much better than Il mixed lot.

1.-THE only hope of the American
farmer of the future will be in his
brains" says Gen. Rusk, secretary of
agriculture. 1.-THE sharp competitions
between sections and counties which
will be induced by increased facilities
for transportation will stir the agri-
culturist up to his best efforts. His
chances of fortune making will be
great, but he will have to be prepared
to fight the battle of competition for
them. He must be sufficiently well
educated in science as far as it is APP
plicable to agriculture, and he must be
intelligent enough to study his sur
roundings and to apply his knowledge
to the conditions about him. He will
be able to meet his fellow citizens on
an equal footing, and his brains will
command from his class in the industry
which he represents the respect and
consideration which he deserves, and
he will give other classes and other in
dustries due respect in return. The
farmer of the future will be business
man able not only to compel his soil to
do its best in the matter of production,
but to study the markets and know
what will sell the best and what will
command the highest price. This farm

Gll-T-EDGED BUTTER.
Improper Working the Cause of Much
Annoyance and Loss.

We must begin with the cream or
milk at the factory. The buttermaker
is not responsible for what happens
before it reaches him, although he
should use every effort to induce the
patrons to handle the milk in a skillful
manner. One has but to make single
visit to either class, the skilled or the
ignorant workman in creamery, to
determine the merits of one system and
the disadvantages of the other. The
skilled man teInpers his cream to that
degree which science and experience
have taught him produces the best re-
suits. 1t is during the ripening proc.
ess that cream needs the closest atten-
ton in order to produce that fine
aroma and also the largest yield OF
butter. just as the cream reaches q
certain degree of ripeness none but an
expert can determine this,) it is drawn
from the vat through tin spouts of
shining cleanliness into the churn, in
which the daintiest housekeeper could
discover no faint or odor of previous
Cummings. The churn is then set in
motion, and an even steady speed is
maintained throughout the operation.
Stopping the churn at just the right
moment, as the butter has entirely
separated from the milk and before it
has formed mass, is when skill plays
an important part, Experience has
taught that the perfect article can be
obtained by the butter being taken
from the churn in perfect firm golden
granules.
While the sl1illful man is doing this
| let us look at the other; he knows that
if cream is pretty well warmed the but

man, but is the result the same? No;
instead of the fine solid granules he
will have soft salvy mass lacking the
delicacyin flavor of the other, and in
which no amount of care in handling
afterwards can better to any apprecia-
BILE amount. Then comes the display
of skill or ignorance in washing, salt,
ing and working the butter. Let the
man use that salt which experience has
taught him is the best for dairy pur
poses.
No part of buttermaking is a surel
test of the skill of man than the

LAND FOR WHEAT.
To Secure Good Results 1t Must BE Thor
ougLly Cultivated.

To Secure Good Results 1t Must BE Thor
ougLly Cultivated.
After blowing thoroughly it is very
important to have land intended to be
sown to fall wheat, that it be prepared
in as good condition as possible. The
soil to the depth of three or four
inches should be in fine filth rs n seed
bed for the wheat and underneath this
the earth should be reasonably solid
The kind of implement needed to
properly fit the soil for the seed must
be largely determined by the charac
ter of the soil and its conditions. When
early and it is in proper state, a good
smoothing harrow is all that will be
needed to properly fine it. Afterward,
however, before the blowing can be
done the soil gets hard and may
break up in hard Jumps, and the drag
may be used to properly level and fine.
Again, hard beating rain after plow-
ing will often run the soil together,
and the hot sun will cause it to bake
and in this condition, in the majority of
cases, it will be best to use the disc
harrow.
What will be best at one time or in
one kind of soil will not be the most
ccono mical under other conditions and,
for this reason, the character of the
soil and the kind of work to be done
must always be considered. The one
important item is to make sure of
working enough, and then to use the
implement that will do the work most
thoroughly and economically. In
many cases additional working, while
adding but little to the cost of the crop,
will help to materially improve the
condition of the soil and in this way Sc
cure better growth and yield,
With nearly all the varieties of seeds,
the more thorough the preparation of
the soil, the better and thriftier the
termination of the seed and the
better the start to grow of the plants.
The thorough preparation of the soil is
one of the essentials in securing a
good yield, and, while it possible to go
to an extreme, yet in Il majority of
cases the mistake is made in the other
way. Thus a better profit would be
often realized with less acreage,
more thoroughly prepared, than with
more labor in rough, cloddy land

perience:
In places where the crop had grown
ranllly and rapidly, it was ready for
market in August, Two large tubs,
made by saving hogshoad into
halves, were taken to the field to hold
water for washing the celery. A man
went along the rows digging up the
plants with spading fork in his right
hand, pulling them out with the left,
and shaking the earth from the roots
by striking them against the handle of
the fork. The plants were Their stripped
of wilted stalks and carried to the
washing-tubs. No knife was used on
the golden self-blanching variety, The
roots were left on and the plants were
washed with brush-broom in one tub
and rinsed in the other, then placed on
n table, where they were bunched and
packed in watertight boxes or crates

with contrary winds, high seas and ter
rifle storms, he reluctantly consented to
give up his efforts after a struggle of
sixty-two days, and returned to Ameri-
ca on bark which kindly consented to
take him and his sea beaten boat back
to New York.
The captain is very interesting char.
acter. He is man of fixed purposes,
very hard to turn from the object which
he has in view. He has made the sub
ject of small boat sailing such study
that he is prepared to meet every argu-
ment against the risks which spring to
the minds of his critics, yet the New
York Herald put the case in nutshell
when it said; 1.-THE fact that Capt. An
drews can cross the ocean in cookie
shell merely proves that small boats are
safe when Capt. Andrews sails them.
Amateurs should remember this when
the wind begins to sing"
The captain himself says that "half
the people who are drowned lose their
lives because they do not realize that a
boat cannot sink. An iron vessel might,
or q ship loaded with heavy cargo,
but row boat, sail boat or ordinary
wooden vessel may capsize, but will,
nevertheless, float The passengers OF
the great ocean steamers run some risk
when they go to sea, but all around the
deck they see wooden boats hung up on
which they are taught to depend for
their lives if tho big steamer goes down.
These boats are often crushed against
the great vessel or are capsized in
lowering. l am alone in a wooden boat
entirely under my own control, and, in
my opinion, far safer than others" An
ingenious theory but hardly fair one.
Capt Andrews is by trade piano
maker. He built the "Sapolio" at At
lantic City in the presence of hundreds
of people, and exhibited it on the Long
