The writer OF this once heard Mr..

Pa, say that seven ii they sold no

investment would be a fifst-clsss one,
because they sold every pound Of
butter they made for 50 cents a
pound. They were able to sell their
butter st this high price because it
was the very best butter made. For
the butter cow to be made profitable
the butter she makes must be the
best it Is possible to make.
The trouble with the average but.
ter maker is that he or she doesn't
really know what the most valuable
article is. Don't rely upon your own
taste. 1t may be that the butter you
make and lise best is not really the
best and not the most salable. The
taste you should please is that OF buy

the "side ssuesn OF the farm. A
small stock of fowls can return a
larger profit upon the capital anu
labor required than can any other
live stock.
A careful poultry keeper has found
that by using Leghorns, and keeping
them 10 small tlocks, he can produce
eggs at an average cost OF four cents
u dozen. What farm industry will
permit better prof ?
II the markets are dull and prices
low, the best place co sell is at home.
1t pays to raise chickens for the
family table. When poultry and
eggs are consumed at home there are
no transportation expenses, no cOops
for shipping required, no hauling to
the depot, and no commissions
to pay for selling. There is no rea-
sou why a farmer should pay Is cents
or more for beef, and sell his poultry
for less, nor should he be content
with pork aud potatoes when he can
have poultry on bis table.
A writer compares the unused land

Use the Knife More Freely.

One Of our exchanges offers very
sound and s"nsib e advice when it
suggests that more hors s ought to be
gelded. 1t says: Breeders are just
beginning to get alive 10 the fact that
there is more profit in good geldings
than mediocre stations. A gelding
$, is much more trac able in company,
is easier managed and less apt to be-
come vicious aud dangerous. He ia
easier kept in condition, and after
weeks OF preparation, when he is
right on edge aud ready for the race
of his life, there is less danger of all
calculations being upset by sudden
loss Of form. That geldings race bet
ter than stations is well known to all
hOrsemen, and this is factor of
such weight that J. ]. McCafferty,
the western hOrsem An who raced 80
successfully in the East last year
and who has very choice lot Of
yearlings, has. announced that he
has gelded all the colts among them.
Geldings do not fill up in the neck
like stations aud 1t ia easier to keep
them down in flesh. They last
longer aud give better service and as
an indication OF their increased value
as race horses it is only necessary to
instance the great campaigns made
by the geidings Greenleaf, Little AL
bert, Lord Clinton and Gillette, each
Of whom won more races aud more
money with less care and trouble
than could possibly have been the
case had he Ueen left entire.

morning for the East via N. 9. &
St l.. Ry,, Chattanooga, Knoxville,
Bristol, Roanoke, and through the
famous Shenandoah Valley, making
the trip five hours and half quicker
than ever made by any other line.
