Burton Farmers Club.

AT the meeting of the Burton Farmers
Club held at Union Glen farm, the resi-
dence of j. 7. Monkey, August "a, Miss
Guilford, Mr.. Monkey and f. M. Shepard
each gave a talk upon "Hobby Horses"
1t was settled beyond doubt that we are
indebted to hobby horses for the develop
ment of all the innumerable branches Of
mechanism, of all the arts and all the SCI
ences, to their present high standard; that
only for hobby horses civilization would be
unknown and darkest Africa" would be
on a par with the rest of the world; that
doctors of the eye, the ear, the heart, the
lungs, or people in any branch of business
who are known as specialists" are simply
people with well groomed hobby horses.
In reply to one of the promiscuous ques-
tons, the subject of farm labor, the number
of hours the farmer should work, the time
necessary to accomplish the work of the
farm, and the expenses OF the same were
discussed by James Baldwin and the other
gentlemen present. Mrs. Baldwin's re-
marks were full of interest, but might have
been regarded with disapproval by persons
who were born tired, and require two hours
of rest for one hour of labor. f. M. Shop
ard said: 1.-THE labor problem is one with
dark future, the result of which no man
can solve"
If trees left standing Oh the farm, by the
fences and wayside, enhanced or detracted
from the value of the farm, was another
theme and one which seemed to admit of
two opinions. Mr.. Baldwin thinks them
not only troublesome to work around, but
they take the nourishment from the soil in
their vicinity which is needed for the pur-
pose of general farming. F. M. Shepard
holds them in high favor. He thinks them
a great beautifier of home, a farm, and
the country. In his experience he has not
found them troublesome to work around,
neither detrimental to his growing crops.
Mr.. M. Woodin would have them around
the house, the barn, and by the roadside,
but he regards them an expensive luxury.
Geo. p. Guiford thinks we might afford the
expense, If they are an expense, for the
comfort and pleasure derived from them.
All the ladies heard from were in favor of
tree culture.
Mr.. Randall read from The Christian
Standard "a visit to the Worlds Fair"
The after dinner session was opened by a
song entitled THE Merry farmers Boy"
by Miss Ola and Master Ray Smith, of Bat
tie Creek, grandchildren of Mrs. Monkey.
They also gave song in the morning open
ing ceremonies, and the exercises of the day
were closed by the recitation from Miss Ola,

bilty of building stock company cheese

Bright Prospects for Successful Fair.
Each day makes palmer the fact that the
annual fair of the Shiawassee County Agri-
cultural Association to be held in Owosso
September 20, 81, %, 30 will be the largest
and best in the history of the Association
Never were the prospects brighter for 81
cess. Besides the regular attractions MAJ
special features have been added. 7 Il
extra attractions and the popular price of
admission interest the multitude and draw
the people. The interest in the fair has
grown steadily for the past few years and
now that it has come to be recognized that
as good fair as there is in Michigan can
be held right at home our people have taken
hold determined to make it credit to the
city and county. There is no reason why
the entire population should not turn out
this year ensuring financial success.
Up to date more applications for entry
blanks, premium books, speed programs,
etc., have been received twice over THAI
ever before at this early date. This shows
the people are wide awake and planning
for big time. With favorable weather
there is no doubt of the Saith annual fair
being one of the biggest in the state.
Among the special attractions engaged
for this year is Prof. Burnley Tubb, with his
troop of educated horses. He will give
daily exhibitions of wonderful horseman-
ship upon the race course, including several
chariot races participated in by some of the
fastest running thorOughbreds In the coun-
try. Chariot races are among the most ex-
citing sports ever seen upon track. There
will also be other running races with both
lady and gentleman riders. There will be
race between man and a women each
standing erect upon fiery, thoroughbred
horses, running at full speed, as well as
tandem races over high hurdles.
In addition the regular race program
promises to be unusually interesting. The
trotting dogs will be exhibited for the first
time in the county. The bicycle races,
open only to Shiawassee county riders, will
be of local character making them doubly
interesting as the prizes will all 90 to sour

drill of Company G National Guards will be

cultural products, manufactured goods, etc.,
that will be on exhibition. Admission to

FROZEN BUTTER KEEPS BEST.

With the improvements Of refrigera-
ton and the ability to produce a very
low temperature at minimum cost we
are now able to freeze butter and
hold it at very low temperature
at cost as low or low
er than formerly paid for ordinary cold
storage. After experiments, covering
range Of five years, it has been thor
oughly demonstrated that this is the
only proper way to hold butter. Butter
made in June, frozen solid and held
until May, came out in elegant condi-
ton. Not tub oily and all in very
fine flavor. Ordinary goods hold their
own and deteriorate very little. Re-
peated experiments have shown us that
butter frozen will stand up longer after
being taken out of the freezer than that
held in the cold storage. A certain
amount of fermentation takes place in
the cold storage butter that is prevented
by the freezing process, and when the
butter is taken from the freezer it has
better keeping qualities than butter held
in ordinary cold storage.-Creamery

Brazil is Land Poor.

5000, 900 square miles of territory she
is Gland poor" having, by the largest
estimate, barely II, 900, 600 inhabitants.
Only about one-third of that number
are "Aryan," or people with a consider
able proportion of white blood in their
veins, and in this enervating climate it
requires unauthorized Anglo Saxon grit,
industry, and perseverance-not, as in
the temperate zone, to make the land
yield anything, but to cope with and
keep down the surprising energy of
nature.
AS now known to the commercial
world, Brazil is looked upon as a COM

CABBAGE FOR LAYING HENS.

A head of fresh green cabbage fas-
tened by string to nail in tn e side of
the coop just high enough to permit the
hens to pick at it, is an excellent food
for winter, and besides it stimulates and
gives exercise that any healthy layer
must have. This is worth trying.
Cabbage shoHld always be kept in
cool place, handy to the poultry house;
a supply of it should be stored away
early in November. The lime and soda
phosphate contained in the cabbage
plant are essentially valuable to laying
hens when outdoor exercise is out of the
question, and the fields where such sub
stances are usually obtai ned are covered
with snow or ice.-New York lndepen

Six Berkshire pigs, born March Is

Six Berkshire pigs, born March IS,
were selected for the experiments. Up
to September 1 they were gwen siops
from the kitchen, with shorts added, IN
sufficient quantity to keep them in
vigorous growing condition. Grass and
clover pasture would be excellent, but
these were not available and not furn-
ished. Nothing seems better for keep
ing young pigs growing to their fullest
capacity than shorts and fine middlings.
The feeding experiment began Sep
TENDER 1 and ended December 20, max
ing 100 days. The hours for feeding
were 8 a. n. and 5 p. N. Charcoal was
given two or three times week. An
effort was made to use such food as
could be obtained or the farms OF Ore.
gon. These were chopped oats, whole
oats, whole wheat, barley and mixture
one-fourth each of ground wheat, barley,
oats and shorts. the rations were
mixed with enough water to wet them
up thoroughly and allowed to stand
until the next feeding hour. The mix
ture of ground feed was the one best
relished.
The chief points of interest developed
were that in the dry excrement of pigs
fed on whole oats and wheat much of
the grain was passed to all appearances
wholly undigested. Very slight gains
were made from chopped or whole oats
alone. The above seems to indicate
that the feeding of whole grain to pigs,
wherever it may be practloed, must be
wasteful.
Photographic representations of the
meat of the mixed fed lot show a large
per cent. of lean meat in the samples.
The texture of the meat in this lot was
all that could be desired. In similar
sections of those fed on whole grain
there was little larger per cent. of fat.
A photograph of similar cuts from pig
of similar weight, fed exclusively on
corn at the Kansas Station, does not
differ materially in appearance, except in
the amount of fat In the loin cut, in
which particular there is considerably
more in the corn-fed pork than in those
of the Oregon experiment.-New York

FATTENING PIGS WITHOUT CORN.

Corn, the great pork producing food
of the middle Western States, cannot
enter into the problem of pig feeding
throughout a greater portion of the
State of Oregon. Hence the attempt of
the Oregon Starion to demonstrate the
success of zee pigs without the aid
of this highly ,-t9onaceous food has an
interest it would not otherwise possess.
No very definite conclusion was fully
realized, yet it is said that some points
were established which are very encour-
aging to those who wish to make pig
feeding in Oregon one of the important
factors of the farm.

ORNAMENTAL VINES,

The Chinese honeysuckle are excellent
vines to train on plaza for screens in
half shady positions, and when shaded
it remains green all winter. The Japan
honeysuckle, both the plain green-leaved
and the golden, are rapid growers, and
will thrive with full exposure to the
sun. Their flowers are very fragrant,
and continue to appear for several weeks.
The Dutch monthly honeysuckle is also
an excellent vine for such purposes, and
it remains in bloom from early spring
until autumn; in fact, you can scarcely
choose amiss in selecting any species or
variety of the climbing honeysuckles,
although there are some more desirable
than others. But for a very rapid and
slender growing vine we do not know
any that excels the Akebia quinata from
Japan. It's leaves are Of dark rich green
color, and they appear early in spring
and hang on uutil very cold weather in
the autumn or early winter. It's flowers
are of dark purple color, and produced
in pendulum clusters. The plants are
now plentiful in nurseries, and may be
obtained very cheap.-NeW York Sun.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

An early bred pullet will lay when the
hens are taking vacation.
Young hens sell the best in market,
! but old ones are the best for farmers to
sell.
Never fasten the nests to the wall; it
increases the work OF keeping them
clean.
Chickens are fond of sand and lime in
the proportions commonly used for plas-
tering.
The only benefit of ccrn in egg pro-
duction is that it helps to maintain
| warmth.
The popularity of chemical fertilizers
for fruit trees is on the increase among
| orchardists.
Wick advises frequent Swinging or
spraying with water for plants infested
with the red spider.
Nearly al! classes of fowls thrive best
IN high, dry localities, with sandy or
graveIly soil that is easily kept dry.
Hens when moved from ore place to
another do not begin to lay until some
days after the change of surroundings.
One pound Of butchers scraps to
twenty hens, given three times week,
will be good ration for laying hens.
With little care in the management
a good proportion of the meat needed IN
the family can come from the poultry
yard.
If the hens are fed three times a day,
one of the best feeds to give at noon is
whole wheat, especially when eggs are
wanted.
Some one says that coal tar placed in
the drinking wafer is sure cure for
running nostrils that so often attic
poultry at this season.
A writer in the London Garden as
cribes fine color in apples to the soil, as
we'll as the direct action of the sun, with
portion to the wind.
Without the aid of incubators the
raising Of early broilers On large scale
would be next to impossible, on account
of the difficulty in Matching.
With turkeys, ducks and chickens the
males should be changed annually in
order to prevent inbreeding. This is
not so necessary with geese.
To be certain of good supply of eggs
in winter the pullets should be at least
nine or ten months old and then be well
fed and comfortably sheltered.
Dampness Injuries seeds by promoting
the growth of fungi, which attack the
vitality of the seed; hence one reason
for keeping them in a dry place.
It is always considered by good breed
ers that the last eggs of hens clutch
are not nearly so fertile as the first, nor
are the chickens so strong and healthy.
At meeting of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society 1t was stated that
apples grown in grass ground will keep
longer than the same fruit grown on
cultivated land. Late-keeping varieties,
therefore, should always be grown in
grass lands.

higher than the axles. | have drawn
many loads of hay with my rig on
ground so soft that an ordinary tire
would not be supported.
The moving machine axle is cut in
two in the middle and holes punched
in the ends, and bands or clasps placed
around a wooden axletree in order to
make the axle long enough for wagon
body between the wheels. The cogs on
the outside of the wheels are cut off
with the hammer or cold chisel, so that
the rims are smooth. | have cut them
from twenty wheels without breaking a
rim. The holsters are made the same
size as those of my wagon, so any box
or rack may set on. This wagon saves
hard or heavy lifting and is used almost
entirely On the farm. Owing to the
broad tires one horse can draw heavier
load than two with the ordinary wagon.
I also have a stone boat on four of the
wheels which I use a great deal. It is
hung under the axles, about six inches
from the ground, and saves all heavy
lifting. Farm, Field and Fireside.
