Stick to the Farm,

A writer in FlrmGr's Home gives the
farmers boy cheering word in the
following true bit of history and phil
osophy:
All the republican presidents of the
United States, if we except Arthur,
who was the son of poor preacher,
were sons of hardworking, most of
them poor, farmers. These boys one
and all testified to the vigilance with
which the wolf was kept from the
door" Of their childhood's home by
the united exertions of father, mother
aud children. as soon as old enough to
do the "chores;" of how education was
gotten of nights by 'talow dip;" of
few weeks in the country school DUR
ing the coolest weather, with long
summer of work between. for the
rule OF three to have ample time TO
be pushed almost entirely out of mind
before the next fall campaign. Aud
thus country school education twen-
ty-tive years ago wasn't very fitting
course for life's battle. How we'll
these men were equipped we all know,
but we can never know the energy,
industry and application brought to
bear by them upon themselves. That
wrought out the grand results in char
acter, in conduct, which led us safely
from the wreck of the most stupendous
war of modern times into the smooth
waters of peace prosperity and
growth. These men were farmers
sons. These men as boys had not one
opportunity where the farmers boy of
to-day has scores. Trausit from point
to point was almost unknown as we
know it now for young people. Hence
their opportunities were bounded BY
near horizon. Parents were not SO
generally informed as now. for then
there was not one paper where now
there are scores. Nor was there the
machinery to shorten the days work
and give time to mind culture. The
country school has grown up in
these last years and is taking on met
ropolitan methods. Then it was in its
swaddling clothes, and yet out of these
log school rooms. with their short ses-
sions. came this line of presidents.
And still we hear of the farmer boy
deserving his farm for lack of oppor-
tunity,. for the narrowness of his life,
and for all the allurements city life
holds out with the promise of success.

Breeding Stock.

Professor Sanborn. the great stock
experimenter of the United States, has
published a powerful array of argu-
ments on the subject of economy in
stock feeding. He contends that the
best stock-those with the largest ratio
of choice to inferior meat, which en-
ables the owner to sell them 25 per
cent better-should be used for breed
ing. Again he argues that meat varies
in individual animals in flavor or. ten
derness. and these qualities being
hereditary should be perpetuated by
the same careful system of selection.
He believes some cattle are wasters
compared with othcrs-failing to di-
gest their food properly and. there
FORE putting on less flesh than they
ought to do. TO remedy this he would
test the bulls in order to ascertain
their capacity for consumption, di-
gestiOB, and assimilation of food.
Again. he quotes and supports the,
old saying that breed goes in at the
mouth, very properly excepting form.
If this be the case. it is quite clear that

Management of Farm Animals.

Management of Farm Animals.
The most practical and valuable in
formation that can be brought to the
intelligently practical farmer is that
which relates to the care and manage
ment of farm animals. But few farm
ers have any solid data Of facts to
draw upon derived from their own cx-
perience. TO know just exactly which
costs the most to produce, Il pound of
mutton or pound of beef or pound
OF pork is something not more than
one farmer in a thousand can tell. for
the nine hundred and nnety-nine
never keep exact records. All of them
can guess at it, may be, quite closely,
but it is guess work after all. To be
sure they put their money up on their
guess work. and embark in mutton
feeding, beef feeding. or pork feeding,
and many say they ought to know all
about it as long as they are in the busi-
ness. 1t is true they ought and they
would know if they did not have such
an universal contempt for keeping
close exact records. Here is where the
English and Scotch farmer eXcels his
American cousin. He is trained in the
art of keeping books and records. He
is not considered good safe farmer
unless he can show what thing costs.
That is just as great an advantage to
the earnest thinking farmer as it is to
the manufacturer. The dollars the
farmer is to earn runs the gauntlet of
ill luck and accident to as great an ex-
tent as the manufacturers dollars.
He should not be loaded down with an
extra per cent of carelessness and in
difference to sound rules of business
procedure. .-Er-Go W. d. Hoard.
