He Must fsc Not Only Brnlny But Thor
oughly Educated AS Well.
THE only hope of the American
farmer of the future will be in his
brains" says Gen. RuslS, secretary of
agriculture. "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 fort Inc 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 ap-
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
1ustries 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

THE OLD WAY.

Some of the remedies in use in the mid
die ages sound very queer to us. For in
stance the favorite remedy for pulmonary
troubles was live mole baked in an oven
and then reduced to powder. This was
thought to be certain cure. One writer
gave for nervous diseases the blood taken
from an ass's ear because he urged the
ass was very calm beast and his ear was
the calmest part of him. ltwas not until
all other sciences woke up, as itwere, that
medical men began those researches that
are the glory of modern science. They
began to see that the simplest remedies are
the best. Such remedy as Reid's Ger
man Cough and Kidney Cure forinstance
is better than any other for pulmonary
trouble because it is composed of pure ma
terial without particle of poison in it, or
any thing that is in the slightest degree
deeterious. For this reason in complaints
like Group in children, where the necessity
for instant relief is urgent, it acts like a
charm and there is no danger of after il!
results, that will be unpleasant. Get it Of
any dealer.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

LARD and kerosene make a good oint-
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 dc
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 necessity inside and
outside, upon the perches, nests and
everywhere. II is cleansing and puri.
flying, and death to insects where il
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 as 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 mixed lot.
AN account was given at one of the
western horticultural meetings of an
apple tree which was planted about
half century ago, but after it had at
tanned much size it was split open,
when the owner had the two parts
bolted together with iron bolts. 1t has
continued growing and now the bolts
are entirely hidden by the wood which
has grown over them.

LAND FOR WHEAT.
70 Secure Good Results 1t Must BE Thor
oughly Cultivated.

70 Secure Good Results II Must BE Thor
oughly Cultivated.
After plowing thoroughly it is very
important to have land intended to be
Gown 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 tilth as a 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 a proper state, 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
econo 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 a 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

why We Need Two Ears.

Sound travels by waves, radiating
from central point of disturbance,
just as waves radiate when stone is
thrown into still water So far as the
hearing of each individual is concerned
these waves move in a direct line from
the cause of the disturbance to the ear.
This being the case, the impact is
greater in the ear nearest the sound.
Now, person who has totally lost the
hearing of one ear cannot locate the
direction of noise to save his life, even
when the center of disturbance is quite
near Blind persons learn to estimate
distance in surprising brief period
after losing their sight, but experts on
diseases of the ear say that persons
wholly deaf in one ear can never learn
the direction from which sound comes.

elLT.EpaEp BUTTER.
Improper working the Cause of Much
Annoyance and Loss.

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 skillful
manner. One has but to make a 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 tempers 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-
tion in order to produce that fine
aroma and also the largest yield of
butter. just as the cream reaches a
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 taint or odor of previous
churnings. The churn is then set in
motion, and an even steady speed is
maintained throughout the operation.
Stopping the churn at just the righ1
moment, as the butter has entirely
separated from the milk and before il
! 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 skillful man is doing this
let us look at the other; he knows that
if cream is pretty well warmed the but
ter will come the sooner, SO running
the temperature well up to 20 degrees
| tor as one man writes that she turns
hot water into the cream" not much
skill in him, ba must have taken les
sons from his grandmother), the cream
| is drawn off in TO not too cleanly churn
which is set revolving at rapid rate.
| He does not have to wait so long for
his butter to come as his brother work
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 tn" 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 surer
test of the skill of u man than the
working. AS you value your reputa-
tion as butter-malIer, do not let your
hands come in contact with the butter,
for the insensible oil about the hands
Injuries the grain. Many churning OF
otherwise fine butter has been injured
if not spoiled in the working. Ignor.
ance or extreme carelessness do not eX
list in creamery work. Let everyone
visit large commission house and he
will find that while the product of some
creameries will be uniformly good with
every shipment, extra fine, might say
others will be varying, never twice
alike but occasionally good.-B. c

inches long, inch square. The box is made Of

keted in this way will keep good one
week in warm summer weather. Com
mission merchants can then ship to
hotels and stores throughout the coun-
try.
These crates are highly praised by
all who use them. They are made to
hold or ~ dozen roots each. If the
market is dull and part of the load is
unsold, it can be left at some place or
brought home and offered for sale the
next day, with clear conscience, for
it will be as good as the celery taken
up "a hours later. To keep celery
brittle, solid and salable, these water
tight crates are indispensable during
the warm summer weather. On Thurs
days have sold so or 80 dozen celery
roots to commission merchants, they
selling them on Fridays and Saturdays
to markets and stores. The markets
kept some of the celery till Tuesday
and Wednesday of the next week, and
this in summer with the thermometer
up to go and so degrees. Early celery
cannot be marketed successfully with
out these crates A few buyers will
object at first to having the roots left
on, but after they see the advantages of
the system, they will not buy celery in
any other form. They find they can
deliver it to consumers fresh and solid
with the roots on. When celery is
grown and marketed in this way, three
men can take up and prepare about 100
dozen in a daV.
