case. But if a man believes that there
is money in the dairy and means to go
at work to get it out, and intends to
prosecute his business as if he had faith
in it, he had better not try to be a Jack
Of all trades. The man who achieves
success in this world is the man who
does not get too many irons in the fire.
Every minute of energy that the dairy
man eNpends in the direction of maxi
ing beef production a prominent fea'
tare he will take from his dairy, and
the dairy will suffer. If he wants to
produce beef, better go at it, and make
the dairy subordinate. If he wants &c
do all he can with the dairy, better
make beef production subordinate.
That is sound, and experience will show
it to be so.-FarnerS' Voice.

BEEF AND BUTTER.

DaIrymen Who Are Jacks mt All Trades
Cannot Succeed.
Mr. Henry Stewart believes that
there is no good reason why the farmer
should not combine dairy production
and beef production. That depends
upon w hat sort of a dairy it is intended
to maintain and whatSort of beef it is
intended to produce. If d farmer does
not care much about his dairy and cares
just as little about his beef, the plan is
good enough. Any plan would be well
enough in that case. There are farm
ers who simply desire to make enough
butter for home use, and if there is any
over they take it to the country s6Ore.

Proper Ventilation Of Rooms.

There are various contrivances for
ventilating rooms, all Of which are more
or less expensive and large majority Of
them quite worthless. The best way to
ventilate room Is by means Of open
fires. However, open fires are not suf-
iciently warm In winter, and there are
few houses that are provided with the
ideal heating arrangement Of modified
steam heat with CRATES. Lacking this
and indeed under any circumstances, q
sleeping room or a sitting room should
be, so to put 1t, washed out with pure
air every day.
Whatever the temperature outside.
every window should be opened, and the
outer air allowed TO pour through 1t
from ten to twenty minutes each day.
As q rule rooms are kept too warm. No
room should be kept heated beyond .
temperature of 68 degs. The system Of

phere becomes SO vitiated that 1t shiyers

BEFORE THE BLOSSOM.

In the tassel time of spring
loves the only song to sing;
Ere the ranks of solid shade
Hide the bluebird's fitting wing,
While in open forest glade
No mysterious sound or thing
Haunt of green has found or made,
Loves the only song to sing.
Though in May each bush be dressed
Like bride, and every nest
Learn Loves joyous repetend,
Yet the half told tale is best
At the budding with its end
Much too secret to be guessed,
And its fancies that attend
April's passion unexpressed.
Love and Nature communing
Gave us Already. Still ring
Wales across and groves among
Wistful memories, echoing
Pans faroff and fiuty song.
Poet, nothing harsher sing;
Be, like Love and Nature. young

DUCKS FOR EGGS ONLY.

The demand for ducks eggs in cities
is comparatively small, and although
PeSin ducks are the best of layers, they
would give but very little profit, if any
at all, in the sale of their eggs. How
ever, this limited demand for duck s
eggs may be on account Of their scarcity.
But few farmers keep ducks, and those
who do hardly ever think of putting the
eggs on the market. In many farme,s'
households it is preferable to keep the
ducks eggs for use, and place those of
the poultry on the market. Certainly
there is no reason in the world why eggs
laid by these web-footed creatures should
not find as ready q sale as those OF the
other dru.zens OF the poultry yard.
1t costs more to produce one of these
eggs than an ordinary hens egg. They
are a good deal larger, and for this
reason they should get better price.
But even with better price it would not
pay If the eggs were lad by the ordinary
barnyard duck. It would pay just as
long as the supply of eggs is kept; but
this class Of animals are noted for the
fewness of their eggs. The Pekin ducks,
as we have said before, are best layers
of any of the varieties of ducks, aud If
they are kept and fed carefully un-
loubte1ly profit would be derived from
the sale of eggs.-AmeEican Farmer.

KINDS OF PONIES.

There are many kinds of small horses
that go by the name of ponies. The
native kind, known as the Indian pony,
is supposed to be descended from the
animals brought to this continent by the
Spaniards, but by reason of neglect has
deteriorated in size while 1t has gained
in hardness. There is another native
pony found Oh the islands of the North
Carolina sounds known as the banker,
from its location on the sand banks of
which the island and mainland are made
up. There ia also the Sable Island pony
OF Newfoundland, an animal similar in
character in every way to the former.
The imported kinds are the Welsh pony
of England and the Shetland Of Scot
land, the latter the smallest horse exist
ing, some of them measuring no more
than thirty inches in height at the with
ers. The smallest of Gil these bring the
largest price, the Shetland selling some
times for as much as 81 pound of its
weight. A fairly good animal may be
purchased fer $120 or thereabout. This
kind of pony is in great demand for the
use of children, as it Is excee dinghy

THE CARE OF ROADS.

.Idh ZANE OF hOADSs
Wisdom in construction gave France
the best roads in the world number of
years ago. Complete organization and
care has kept them so. The most perfect
road uncared for soon wears out; the
poorer stone road we'll taken care of will
soon have smooth surface. The French
roads are never out Of repair. One man
takes care Of long stretch of road,
often several miles, by doing here a lit.
tie and there little. The road is always
in ideal condition. The cutters ere
trimmed, the grass plats along the side
are always neat and clean, and the main
bitches on the outside are free from all
rubbish. The surface of the roadway is
kept dry by smallsopen drains across the
grass plats on each side. AS the grassy
borders are about three inches above the
road, the sod is cut out about eight
inches wide and tour inches deep, with
spade, and the drain neatly scraped
out. The bottoms are not lined with
stone, and very little work is needed to
make or keep these small drains. They
are placed from fifty to eighty feet apart,
and if the road slopes they run diagon-
ally down the slope.
The roadmau keeps the drains clear,
scrapes the mud off the road In wet
weather, and sweeps the dust in dry.
Cleans off the snow and breaks up the
ice on the surface of the road and in the
drains. Picks up loose stones, breaks
them and piles them in regular heaps for
use in repairing, takes care of the trees
along the road and keeps the mile posts
in order.
The roadnen live in the immediate
vicinity of the road and are expected to
be constantly at work during the day.
They have the following tools. Wheel.
barrow, iron shovel, wooden shovel, pick,
iron scraper, broom, rake, crowbar,
hammer and tape. This system of caring
for roads amounts to constant, every
day patrol in search of the slightest evil
dence OF imperfection. The result is
that these imperfections are never OBJ
servable to the ordinary traveller. he Is
soon led to expect perfection and sees
nothing else. One can walk along these
roads after rain without getting his
shoes muddy. In the dry summer time
there is no annoyance from dust. All
this is the result of constant, diligent,
far-reaching organization. The eco
nomical and prudent French people know
that it pays to build good roads, and that
it pays still better to take good care OF
such highways.-Farm, Field aud
Stockman.

FEEDING SMALL POTATOES.

Some fifty years ago it was my duty
to boil the small potatoes in big cop
per boiler Quilt in brick, with an oven
fire draft underneatb), and then to mix
them with barley meal and feed them to
the hogs. The method used was to
sprinkle the dry meal over the hot po-
tatoes and then squeeze the latter with
the hand and thus thoroughly incorpo-
rate the meal with them and make a
semi-mash or slop, by adding the water
in which they were boiled. This prac-
tice have followed in feeding in the
West, using corn meal instead of barley
meal, as being the cheapest and the
lest for fatteaing. Potatoes, as a food,
are little better, ii any, than green
clover. Both serve as a slop food, or
green food, as you will; but both build
the frame, and then when the corn meal
is added put ON fat enough to finish
them for market. This, at least, has
been my experience and is my practice.
My own impression is that enough value
has not been set on potatoes as food
for hogs.-Breeder.

SCAB ON SHEEP,

Those who have once had the scab
disease in their flock of sheep do not
need any description of its effects, but
for others. we will say that the inclina-
ton to be constantly rubbing is the
first symptom, with biting of the fleece
where it can be reached, and sore to
be found where the wool comes off,
from the centre of which yellow matter
is discharged. To cure it the following
remedies are used: Washing the sheep
with soap and water, and then dipping
in an infusion of arsenic, at the rate OF
half pound to twelve gallons of water.
Others mix the common mercurial ONT
ment with from three to five times its
weight of lard, and apply about two
ounces to each sheep, parting the wool,
and rubbing it in at distances of about
four inches apart. Another remedy,
and less dangerous to handle, is to mix
one pound of sulphur and one-half pound
Of tar, then rub this we'll into about
two pounds OF lard, and apply in the
same way as the mercurial ointment.
Others dip in strong solution of to-
bacco, well stepped. In this, which is
perhaps, the most commonly used in this
country, as liz the arsenic solution, care
must be taken to keep the sleeps head
out of the liquid.
The time for dipping is about one to
three months after shearing, and the
sheep should not be over heated, Or
thirsty, should not stand in hot sun,
aud the work should be finished early
enough so that they may dry of we'll
before night. They should be kept in
it from one to two minutes, and then
the wool should be squeezed as dry as
possible after they are taken out. Do
not allow the drippings to fall upon any
thing they are likely to eat, and do not
let unweancd lambs in with them for a
few hours after dipping. If the first
application does not cure, in ten days or
two weeks repeat it. One tub or trough
III which to dip them and another for
training them, or squeezing the dip oat
of the wool, are necessary. There are
several patent preparations offered for
e2'c ~ sheep dips, and they are probably
