How to Make the Most of a farm
In driving through the country in
summer CT autumn, one can but notice
the striking difference in the pro-
d~uctiyeness of farms along the way.
Although they may join. and acre
match acre, the greatest contrast can
but be observed. The difference is not
so much in the farms as in the farmers.
One farms carefully and makes his
farm pay-the other does not, and is
continually running behind.
"Head-work often saves hand-work."
The difference between farmer
thrifty and farmer behind-hand' is
nine times out Of ten in head work.
Carefully laid plans seldom fail; hap
hazard plans seldom succeed.
A good farmer, one who looks well
to the interest of his p~ocketbook, and
also to the welfare and health of his
family, will not neglect to have a GOOD
garden. 1t is acknowledged by all ex-.
the most profitable portion of the farm,
according to the expense it takes to
Ire for 1t. Yet there is no part OF the
farm more neglected by most farmers
in the country; and by. this neglect they
lose in good health and comfort. The
time it would take to care for a garden
is often wasted in running to the store
for articles that might not have been
needed had there been a garden to go
to instead. &-
One-half acre of ground of ground, If
well cared for, would supply a large
family with a great portion Of their
living from spring till winter, or till
spring again. Instead Of being confined
to heating meats, stale bread and old
uotatoes in the winter and spring
months we now have a refreshing vari-
ETY. of good wholesome vegetables,
fruits, salads, TIC. In no other way can
we have so great a variety at so little
expense. The garden should not be
confined to common vegetables alone,
but to all choice varieties should be
procured that can be grown in the eli
mate. Purity Of seed Is a matter Of the
greatest Importance.
Do not forget to devote q portion of
your time to recreation and self-im-
provement by the reading and study Of
agricultural books and papers. You
will thereby gain vigor and energy; and
If you work at your calling with en-
llghtened views-looking at the scien-
titic side while attending to the practi-
cal labor, you will acquire a strong in
terest in it, and love for it, that will
insure success.
Always plan your work ahead. BY so
doing you win drive your work and not
let that drive you. The successful
farmer takes advantage Of all times
and opportunities, and knows no season
but the best, viz: now.
I will venture to say that if you will
carefully follow the advice I have given
and use more head-work you will o
we'll satisfied with the result, and will
be willing to admit that you have
learned how to make the most OF your
farm.

WONDERFUL WIRE WALKER

London is staring in amaze at Cal
cedo, the new tight rope performer.
His wire is a mere thread, almost in
visible from a distance. 1t is stretched
tightly as a fiddle string some ten feet
above the stage. On this he performs
all the ordinary feats of the ordinary
performers. Dressed in tights and car
rying Il balancing pole Caicedo does the
usual dances and somersaults. Later
he dons a military uniform and heavy
common riding boots, with high heels
and immense spurs and does other
feats that are simply astounding.
He marches across the wire with
giant strides, bounding in the air three
or four feet at a step. He jumps Tip in
the air, coming down first on one foot
then on the other. Then he makes pro.
digiOus leaps-seyen, eight feet and
more-into the air, and lands lightly
with both feet on the wire. Il neculiaI
thing is that as soon as he lands or the
wire it stops dead, and he stands al
firmly and steadily on it as though
poised IN a granite pedestal. He makes
a great bound, assisted by the spring OF
the wire, six or seven feet into the air,
and comes down sitting sidewise IN the
wire. Then comes his greatest feat.
Bounding up from the sitting posture
still higher skyward, he turns 3 somer.

Making Good Cow Beef.

The widespread belief that the bee,
from old animals, and especially from
old cows, must be tough and stringy
is a consequence Of the improper way
in which much beef is fattened. Con
corning this the American Cultivator
says: Old animals do not have as good
teeth as those younger. For this rea-
son their digestion is poorer, and more
care needs to be taken against over
feeding, which induces clogging of the
stomach. Every n that has Over-fed
knows that while the stomach is over
loaded fever is produced. Now a fever
ish state is always a diseased state of
the system in animals Is well rs in
people. No one would think, of eating
meat from animals killed while suffer
ing from disease. Is it any better If
periodically all through the fattening
period the blood has been heated by
fever from poor digestion? All agree
that an old COW fattened quickly makes
nice tender beef. But to fatten quickly
she must all the time be healthy. In
other words, her stomach must never
be clogged. She must not be off her
feed. Some %succulent food, either
silage or roots, is best for nTking good
COW beef. Old cows do not sell well,
but the farmer who knows how to fat
ten them can make from them the best
kind of beef for home use, better thar
much steer beef poorly fattened.

Selecting a Good Brood Sow.

Selecting a Good Brood Sow.
A brood SOW should be long, of great
depth, broad in forehead, and not too
closely coupled oye the loin. Select her
after the pigs are weaned, so that she
will have taken on natural form. She
should be retained as brood SOW until
four or five years Of age il she has
proved good. The constitution of many
animals has been ruined by breeding
from young or immature parents. A
good sow will give thirty pounds of
milk in tw~enty-fOur hours. 1t has been
tested and is known to be a fact. If a
litter of pigs would make Il growth of
four Of five pounds in twenty-fuor hours
it stands to reason that if seven pounds
of milk will make one pound Of growth
in a young pig of the age of
one week, a SOW must necessarily give
at least thirty pounds of milk in TWEEN
ty-four hours. Mistreatment of a
brood SOW should never be allowed;
gentle treatment of sows in herds
should always be exacted.
