But it pays better. Wheat is lazy
mans crop It is inevitable that the
first principal crop Of country should
be wheat, and it is inevitable that
wheat must be the main crop for
some time to come. 1t will be neces-
sary to turn to the dairy for support
and for a competency for those who
are located in place in fixed homes
which will be their abiding places for
years to come. A country will not
always raise wheat, and farmers

good dairy caUtle, good milk, good

Judging Clover Seed.

Prof. MenFe has made an expert
ment to test the value Of clover seed
from terminating point of view,
based upon the color of the SEED.
Every observing person has noticed
that clover seed is made up of differ
ent coiors, such as green, yellow, diff
ferent shades of brown and black.
For the purpose of testing the germ
mating power, a given number OF
each kind were planted and subjected
to the same conditions in every re-
spect. The result was, that of the
green seed very few reached the
cotyledenous stage and were very
weak. Nearly the whole OF the yell
low terminated and produced good
stand of healthy plants. The light
brown did very well, but not as well
as the yellow; the plants were less and
less healthy. With the dark brown
it became evident that as the brown
increased in darkness, the germlnat-
ing power of the seed decreased; the
black was confirmation of this last
result. 1t is of benefit to farmers to
know this fact, and in selecting their
clover seed look for that which has
the largest proportion of yellow seed,

Boots for Young Horses.

Boots should be used in driving and
breaking young horses. even though
they are open-gaited and do not
strike. Colts are looking everywhere
but where they step, and sometimes
get their feet mixed. In such case
they may hit cord or tendon, which
is apt to disable them for weeks or
months, and sometimes for life.
Charles Marvin, who formerly trained
the Palo Alto colts, always booted the
youngsters thoroughly when they took
their work. Boots are not to keep a
horse from interfering, but to protect
him when he strikes himself.

made Of hard wood, that is the hand

an old barrow, or an old grain wheel
off an old reaper, will do. I have
used,the grain wheel with good results
for years, and for the handles used

which are nailed the side boards
which reach down past the handle

The floor can be level with the hand

end boards can be made removable by
mailing cleats to the side boards and
have them slide between them.

Keep Farm Accounts.

The almanac style of farm accounts
should be out of date and / do not
favor the cheap account books adver-
tised. More money expended in three
or four books to last for years is bet
ter economy. Each farm should have
a book for inventors, which should
be posted up each year and should
show the amount invested III land,
buildings, stock and tools and a cash
journal of all sums received and paid
out. The debit and credit columns can
both be on the same page and this
will render the cash accounts very
simple. This cash book should be
balanced monthly, and it is agood
study TO compare the balance of one
month with that Of another. An
other book should be one in which
to write the sales of all produce,
especially if it be sold to several
parties on credit. This can be writ
ten in from a day book in which these
accounts can be set down when de-
livering, and when it would be i'm
possible to have large book along.
The farmer employing much help
should keep neatly ruled time book
in which to keep each mans time,
what has been paid him and how
much is due him at the end of
each week, month or year, according
as be is employed. These can be
bought at little cost and will save
many disputes with hired help. A
farm calendar OF daily operations or
farm dairy is also a very useful
book. have kept one for years and
would not give it up. 1t saves many
disputes as to how this was done or
when that was brought about. All
unusual events in farm routine should

c. Gailor a the Laclede. 1t was dur
ing the Mexican war. [ was sent out
from Santa Fe with scouting party of
twenty four men, and we were headed
of near the Mexican line by zoo Of the
most misunderstanding greasers that
ever cut throat Or shot a brave man
in the back. We got into wooded
gorge and threw up a bTeastwork Of
loose rocks and earth across the mouth
of it, I felt sure the Mexicans would
cover of the darkness, and decided to
fix UP a surprise for them. We carried
a small chest Of tool with us, and in the
outfit was long-stemmed two-inch
augur. We felled six tough oak trees,
sawed off section of the stems and
transformed them into cannon. We
loaded them with pistol balls and flint
gravel, mounted them and waited. Just
before daylight the Mexicans came. We
waited until they were within fifty yards,
then opened on them with our battery.
You lever saw such hustling for tall
timber your life Artillery was the
last thing they expected to encounter,
and when those wooden cannon opened
on them they scattered like sheep. =

Too Busy for Enmity.

When | hear men or women at
tributing lack of success in any di-
rectiOn to the Vaccinations of their
enemies, I inyoluntarily smile at the
egotistical assertion. People are in
general TOO much engrossed, each by
his own affairs, to make any very ac-
tive war against each other. Jealous,
envious, rancorous they often are, but
to wage positive hostilities, they are
for the most part too Indifferent.
This proneness to attribute our mis-
chances to enemies is merely one Of
the refugees of our self-lOve. Adj
hitting possible exceptions, it may
be said emphatically that we are
none of us anybody's enemy but our
own. We are all, however, our own
enemies. The tongue that truly de-
tracts from our credit and glory is
our own tongue; the hand that most
mercileSsly despoils us of our proper
ty is our own hand. All the real
murders in this world-that is, apart
from the mere commonplace killings
of men and wOmen-are self-murderS-
Conceit tells us different tale, and
we are too ready to lay ON the tiatter-
ing JUNCTION. But all great successes,
all the grander triumphs, will be in
proportion to our seeing the truth as
it really stands; namely, that the
hardest obstacles, the most real DAN
gers, lie in the perverse impulses of
own nature.

General Farm Notes.

BREEDERS of stock often make the
mistake of breeding their stock too
young.
STORE root crops where the tenn
perature WILL be low and as even as
possible.
THE cleaner the stables are kept
the less bedding will be required for
the stock
FENCES should be of character to
suit the purposes for which they are
intended.
WITH good care a farmer can al
ways breed better beast for himself
than he can buy
THE first bad storm is more DAM
aging to stock, if they are exposed to
it, than any other
LIBERAL and abundant feeding is
the most economical and is a saving
of time in fattening.
YOUNG animals of all kinds are
verv sensitive of the treatment they
receive while growing.
DURING the fall and winter it is
usually best to keep at least one
team ON the farm well shod.
The productive capacity of land
should determine it's real value rath-
er than the price asked for it.
If you want to make the best and
largest horses out of your colts, keep
them growing from first to last.
n the fall and winter is the time
to commence feeding so as to econo-
mize feed to the best advantage
BE prepared to take care Of the
corn as fast as it is fully ready. After
it is fully matured it goes to waste
EVERY farmer who keeps any con-
siderable number of stock should
have and study good doctor book.
FLOWING little deeper in the fall
the new soil gets the benefit of the
actions of the elements during the
winter.
