"rest up"
The farm needs for its work stout,
chunky, "low-down" horses, that
can draw fair loads and move with
some facility and agility. The last
walker is a great treasure where
loads preclude for the most part the
possibility Of trotting much.
This is the season Of the year when
the owner OF the farm gets up at
four O'Clock in the morning and goes
forth and puts in Is hours OF manual
labor. After supper he sits down,
nuts the business transactions OF the
dav in black and white and congrat..
ulates himself that he has got a good
man, if any Of his laborers have done
one.half the work he has himself
IN. E. Farmer.
Ifyour team sweats freely let them
slack in the harness when you stop,
and once in a while lift the collar
forward off their shoulders that the
fresh air may get there. You will be
surprised how much aid it is in pre-
venting gals. In hot weather | al
ways give my horses shoulders a
cold water bath after days work
1t hardens them and is the best pre-
ventive ever used.-[Ohio Farmer
Many farmers have learned that
the superiority Of peas to corn for
feeding hogs makes thema profitable
grain to grow. They take little la
Dor, as the hogs will, if need be, do
the harvesting. They enrich the soil
and if the stubble can be cleared so
as not to be plowed under they make
an excellent preparation for winter
wheat but if weeds and pea tops
are plowed under they make the
land too light, causing it to fill with
water in winter and thus winter-kill
the grain.

Chr Farm.
EC0NOMY OF LABOR ON THE FARM.

The margin of profit in farming is
altogether too small to admit OF
any unnecessary waste. On many
places the buildings are scattered to
the four points of the compass,
one barn here, another hundred
rods to the east, corn'crib as many
rods to the west, and other build
ings scattered promiscuously about.
During a week the farmer or his man
NAV spend four or FIVE hours walk
ing from one to another, in the daily
round of labor. 1t does not pay to
hire a man to walk over ones farm.
If possible, | would have every
building on the place joined together,
and the whole connected with the
house. Then every stroke OF work
tells. Then there is no need on
clustering winter day of going out
to battle with snowdrifts in fighting
a passage to the barn or other build
jnqs. When the rain iscoming down
in torrents, think of the comfort OF
having all ones work brought into
one spot, and that reached without
passing out into the rain at all The
cattle, pigs, hens, and other live
stock would surely get better care
under such circumstances. IT the
well or spring is so situated that
water can be brought into the barn,
there will be another great saving OF
labor. 1t is not necessary that the
scource of the water supply be on
level or above the barn hoorin order
to bring it into the building. A
pump in the barn will bring in water
from point considerably below and
distant from it. The dairy COWS
would appreciate this improvement
and give increased returns when
freed from the necessity of going out
in raw weather to pick their way
over ice to trough where ice-cold
water awaits them. When water
can be brought into the barn, it is
an easy matter to bring it to prop
er temperature before watering the
animals. If water can be brought
into the house, there will be another
great saving of labor, and a positive
luxury added to the domestic arrange
ments.- American Cultivator.

SALTING BUTTER.

Formerly heavily sailed butter
was desired, for it was impossible to
eat more than very thin stratum
on the bread, and the buffers
favor made the thin stratum
desirable, the thinner the better.
But heavy sailing is now unpopular,
for it is generally known that butter
can be made OF such delicious flavor
that thick stratum of it is desired
on the bread, the thicker the better,
and the eater does not want salt to
interfere with the quantity of the
butter he wishes to consume. There
fore butter should not be sailed to
con e Il its bad flavor nor in tn be.
lief that money is made by selling
salt at the price per pound of butter.
The butter that requires the least
salt is the most profitable to the
maker Country Gentleman.

SATISFACTORY DAIRYING.

A Michigan farmer who claims to
be successful dairyman insists that
a COW that will not make 200
pounds Of butter year should not
be retained in a dairy herd. When
the average cow is credited with $50
pounds of butter per year we think
the dairy cow standard should be at
least $50 pounds per year. Skilled
dairymen insist that the yield of
COWS worthy of a dairy shall exceed
this quantity. An examination OF
the commercial feature of the ques-
ton shows that a $50 pounds butter
requirement from a dairy COW is
small enough. Assuming that it is
sold for 25c. per Id. we have $62.5O
for her years yield. If she is fed gen.
erously her board bill for that period
should not exceed $40, leaving a
profit of $3.50. A little multiplied
ton will show that dairyman
must keep about fifty-6ve such cows
to have an income of $1,000 year.
Many mechanics in large cities re-
ceive that amount for their labor
each year. and have no investment
to make except a small amount,
such as the cost of kit of tools i'm
plies. When we examine the dairy
mans investment of land, barns,
house, COWS, stables, implements
and utensils, his return seems small.
Out of it taxes are to be paid, living
expenses to be met, and sometimes
interest for a mortgage has to be
provided. With such a number of
COWS help has to be hired, and their
wages paid. Where the herd is
larger, expenses are less proportion
ally, but not enough to make the
keeping of 200lbs. butter COWS very
profitable undertaking, unless the
product is gilt-edged and commands
fancy price. In our opinion sat
isfactory dairying cannot be done
with cows that yield less than ESQ
lbs. of butter a year, American
Dairyman.

PRODUCTIVE CAPACITY.

We have several times commented
on the causes of the decline in the
selling price of New England farms,
and have strongly protested against
the common inference that it is due
to any decline in productive value.
Census returns for successive decades
give no evidence of such a decline
On the contrary, the productive ca
pacity ofeastern farm lands increases
and will continue to increase, except
in the ease of lands which never
should have been cleared for cultiva.
ton. The real cause of such decline
as exists has been the emigration o.
our farming population to the West
excited by the foolish free-homestead
laws DR.. 7. H. Hoskins.

The HowelIs, scribner Article.

In commenting on his success in
reaching the public through artistic
writing, Mr.. Howell's article contrib
uted to the current Scribner's indi-
Gates that the class of literature
best adapted to the public taste is
what he terms the sort of fiction cor
responding to the circus and variety
theatre. and the most cultivated of
the classes can exist from time to
time without an artistic novel, He
states frankly that books like Mr..
Gunters, which net the author q
fortune, are really essential to the
spiritual health of the Masses" and
that in aiming at the Glasses" he has
failed to get hold of them, but that
his success has been with the maya
zines entirely
He says: 1.-The best that you can
do is to write the book that it gives
you the most pleasure to write-and
then hope as hard as you can to
reach the heart and soul of the great
multitude of your fellow men" Mr.
Howells evidently does not under
stand the secret of making his writ
Iings necessary to the public, or per-
haps artistic work is not appreciated
in our country. Literary art then
either resolves itself to a mere dream
or some one greater than Mr.. Howells
will some day make literary art pop
ular with the masses.
