DRAINAGE.

1t is never out of place nor waste of
time OF money to drain wet land. With
out proper drainage there can be no surely
successful agriculture; and in very many
cases too much dependence is placed
upon natural drainage. 1t is doubtful if
there is any soil that cannot be some
what benefited by under draining. If
dry, the drains let in the air, from which
the cooler earth abstracts the moisture
to the benefit of the crop; if wet, they
furnish an outlet for the surplus mois.
ture and this benefits the crop. For it
is an undeniabie fact that either too lit
tie or too much moisture IS Injurious. II
too little, there is no circulation of water
in the soil and the plant not only suffers
from thirst, but starves for want o.
liquid containing available food; if too
much, the plant takes up too much water
and it is too weak in nutriment to fur
nish sufficient food, SO the plant literally
both browns and starves. Hitherto very
little attention has been paid to the cir
culation of water in the soil, but it is
found that this is one of the most i'm
portant considerations in the growing Of
crop and is beginning to receive earnest
attention from leading scientists. -Mlrr,r

ATTENTION TO DETAILS.

Careful attention to details very often
is the turning point between profit and
a loss. This is more noticeable where
competition is strong in the farming
line, while prices are low and fuctuat-
ing. Hence make the best use of each
day. Have the men do some work that
tells to advantage. Do not let crops go
to waste, but secure them promptly when
matured, look after the stock while at
pasture, give the work animals healthy
food, feed regularly, AMI do not water
when too warm. If the harness, vehicles
or machinery have any weak points, re-
pair in time and do not wait until a
break occurs that may cause hours of lost
time in busy season. Keep the fences
in good repair, thereby saving your own
crops and keeping on good terms with
your neighbors. Sell crops and stock
when a fair price can be obtained. If a
neighbor has stock for sale cheap and
you have the pasture, or feed, to still
further add to its value, then make a
deal. Trading sharpens the wits, and
makes one more observant of honest op-
portunities. -Americau Agriculturist.

ECONOMY IN FEEDING CORN.

The science of feeding has male
greater progress during the past twenty
five years than has been made in any
other department of science. There is
no kind Of feed of which this is more
true than Of corn. There Is much less
waste of corn now, and the ration is
merely to be so balanced with other
foods as to produce the best results. 1t
is hardly too much to say that OF the
old. time corn feeding fully half was
either wasted, or worst still, was SO fed as
to do quite as much harm as it did good.
We have often heard of young pigs
stunted and their digestion ruined for
life by too early aai exclusive feeding
of corn. Probably one reason why
breeding sows so as to let them farrow
in the spring has become popular, was
because at this season corn was apt to
be scarce and not fed so liberal as in
the fall. With whole summers run in
the pasture and fed on swill with little
corn, the pigs by the time they were SIX
or seven months old could be fed freely
WIFI "ltuOuG
By feeding more wheat bran and milk
feed to all young animals, considera-
BILE proportion of corn may be given
with great advantage. Both are much
better for all animals than either alone.
1t is often thought that full grown fat
tening hogs do best with nothing except
corn, II laying On fat to be converted
into grease or lard be the object this
may be true. But much better quail
ity of pork for the present demand is
made by giving even to fattening hogs
a small proportion of bran or middlings
and also a few roots. These will be
eaten as change of feel. Appetite
will thus be kept up, and perhaps as
much corn eaten or even more than if it
were an exclusive diet.
The effect of large feeding of corn
to mich COWS in causing tendency to
fatten rather than to give milk is we'll
understood. But it is none the less
true that some corn meal may be fell
every day to cows that have large pro-
portion of succulent food with good re-
suits both in amount and quality OF
milk. Much sowed or drilled corn when
put in too thicsly to ear is not rich
enough without reinforce ment with corn
TO furnish carbon and fat, and also more
of the strength giving elements than are
found in cornstalks alone. As often
made from stalks oil sowel or drilled
corn the ensiIagc is too watery and IN
nutritious. More corn either il the silo
or added to the silage when fell is the
cheapest and easiest way to correct this
deficiency. This is especially important in
cold in weather, wnen succulent food of
any kind is apt to become Il cold mass,
chilling the stomach and needing the
addition of extra carbon to maintain
animal heat. -Boston Cuit;yator.

A Famine Factory,

Major +. III. Law, an attache of
Che British Embassy at St. Peters
burg, states as the result Of personal
Investigations, that the famine Of
eastern and northern provinces is apt
to become chronic evil. The agri-
cultural communities Of the Empire
are managed on a plan which COM
pels the cultivators Of the soil to give
up his farm every third year, and as
a consequence the productive capacity
of the land is being rapidly exhausted.
Moreover, the forests Of the Ural
border have been cut away by mill
lions of acres, and the cold northeast
winds now sweep unobstructed over
the open plains of the Volga country,
and cover the fields with ruinous
sand drifts.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The successful dairymaa keeps no
COWS except those OF good age.
a new variety of beekeepers is needed
more than new variety OF bees.
Activity devoted to the useful honey
bee is a good definition OF happiness.
The truly scientific beekeeper is mod
est. He is aware how little is positively
known.
The nearer man gets to his bees the
less reason there is for his being afraid
of them.
At no time should fowls be fed more
than they will eat up clean in a few
minutes.
He WAC tries to solve all the problems
of Bookkeeping will find it takes q little
longer than lifetime.
Ensilage fed with grain ration makes
the kind of butter for which the public
are willing to pay for
The stuff made from cream by the use
of black pepsin is fraud. 1t will mol
keep. 1t will kill your butter trade.
1t is the opinion of a good many dairy
men that ensilage Is just as good for
milk and butter as the best pasrura9e.
As raised on the average farm, it will
cost little, if am, more to raise turkeys
per pound, than pigs, while the turkeys,
whether sold alive or dressed, will bring
several cents more per pound.
An experience of over twenty years in
fattening sheep convirces Professor
Roberts that it pays to have regular
system, to be followed as nearly as pos
sible. in both feeding and marketing
sheep.
Corn fodder is one Of the most digest
ible of plants usei for cattle food. IT
careful experiments seventy-two PEE
cent. of the Dry, organic matter has beer
diecsred, as against sixty per cent. o
timothy.
Tue feed OF the turkeys should bt
gradually increased now, especially al
those intended fo- market. In sailing
weight is an important item, and good
feeding some time in advance is neces'
sary to secure this.
When desired to fatten poultry quick
", nothing is better than feeding all the
corn, whole, that they will eat At nigh ri =
full to give them ali that they will eat at
each meal.

SUBJECTS OF THOUGHT.

TIE truly valiant dare eyerything
but doing any other body an injury
SOLITUDE is as needful to the i'm
aginatiOn as society is wholesome 70
the character.
THE hardest trial Of the heart is
whether it can bear a rivals failure
without triumph.
THERE Is paradox in pride; 1t
makes some men ridiculous, but pre-
vents others from becoming so.
II u man finds that he is every
where esteemed, considered honUra-
bic and trustworthy, he will be slim
ulated to become still more 50. If he
finds every one su>pecting him, he
will much more easily suCcumb to
temptation. And 50 with all other
merits and dement's, showing how
powerful a factor in human life is the
emphasis we use.
We touch on another in all life's
associations: We impress more or less
all with whom We come IN contact.
In the home, in society, in business,
we leave cur mark. 1t becomes Us
all then to inquire what kind Of an
impression We are making upon child
hood and manhood in our several
spheres Of influence. Is it for good
or for i'll? If for good, then our life
is worth living; il for evil, then it is
a failure.
NEVER be Influenced by external
appearances In forming your juGg-
ment Of person. This IS an impor
tant rule, for many a noble spirit is
covered by hahjlimcnts Of poverty,
while not infTc4uently SNOWY cx-
terror conccals Villain Of the lasost
kind. Dean Swift said that nature
had givcl every man q capacity OF
being agreeable, though not shining
in company; and there are a hun
ired men sufficiently Quaiihcd for
both who b. a very few faults that
they can correct in half an hour axe
not so much as t0ierahlc.
We must never forget that, what
ever be the circumference which
claims our allegiance. We are still the
center, and must remain self-pOiscd
and resOluto. He who despises him
self, who ncglects himself, who tim
idly conforms himself in al things to
other people and has no respect for
his own Individuality, eau never be 4
force in the world. This inleed is
only an3ther form Of soltishDess-
loving ease and hating toll, living
without energy or ruEp4se, and sink
ing like a dead weight on whoever
will bear it, 1t is perhaps difficult
at once To preserve our centrally and
to identify ourselves with each cir
conference: bat what is there q the
highest and thc best that does not
present difficulty? Emerson says, 1t
is easy in the word to live after the
worlds opinion; it is easy in solitude
to live after our own: hut the great
man IS lie who in the midst Of the
'r0wl keeps with perfect sweetness
the iIde! Evidence If ,ltGde."

WHEN RICH LAND IS NOT NECESSARY.

WHEN RICH LAND IS NOT NECESSARY.
1t is very common to hear dairy cx-
Founders advocating making land very
rich to grow cow food. Now it is within
our experience that corn is about the
only plant that can feed grossly on
heavily MANFRED ground, and who bring
away certain amount of the waste or
rankness from the manure, so that a COW
we'll fed otherwise will not refuse to
taste it. Take grass grown on very rich
ground and only the half starved COW
will ca. it. On the contrary she likes
the short, sweet grass that grows on roll
ing hills kissed by the sun, without shade
or manure to assist it.-Nev York hide

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
TAKING CARE OF ONES DRESSES.

TAXING CARE OF ONE DRESSES.
The most satisfactory way of econo-
MIXING in the wardrobe is by taking caro-
OF ones clothes. A good garment, we'll
made and fitting nicely, looks rezpecta-
bic, AID is to certain degree Gin style'
as long as a rag Of it remains.
For example, a we'll cared for dress
skirt may be rehung again and again,
and when it has passed all usefulness as
an outside garment it makes good pct
ticoat, as every woman knows. a goo
waist that is not permitted to wear oI5
in spots lives to have new AMI fashion,
able sleeves put into it year after year.
and finally it ends its days as a lining for
something else.
A few of the precautions which may
be taken to keep the wardrobe in order
are as follows:
Nantes and draped dresses are better
hung up in wardro5cs or small closets,
where they will be kept free from dust,
tlan they vould be if folded IN drawer
where they would become creased.
Very dusty clothes should be we'll
shaken before icing brushed, a1l
much Of the dust should BE- rubbed OF
with dry cloth. For the brushing
process the dress should be spread upon q
board and should be brushed the way OF
the "nap' of tle cloth. Tne brushing
should be done quickly and lightly or
tae brush does more harm than god.
