All Around the Farm.


A SMALL mixer is often a good
butter maker.
KEEP all boards and sticks out of
the feed lots.
COOKING the food makes it easier
to masticate.
ONE must utilize and save all that
gets to the barn.
Much of the losses on the farm
comes from small leaks.
WITH most stock, breeds affect
profit more than quality.
WITH all animals cleanliness is a
preventive OF disease.
GOOD stock crops fertility, and in
dustry are the essential factors in
good farming.
AN abundance OF clover, corn, and
hogs are good things to have on the
majority of farms
WHEN the ground is frozen hard a
small lot is the best place for the
horses to exercise.
EXCESSIVE fat, especially on young
or breeding stock is too often a wolf
in sleeps clothing.
The condition of horses can readily
be weakened By making them carry
too much surplus flesh.
TASTES differ, but il you are max
ing butter to sell you must consult
the tastes Of your customers.
THE shortest road to good prices is
In having tho haet articlao ~ ca1l.
this is true of all farm products
ONE inducement towards keeping
stock on the farm is that an oppor.
tunity is afforded to keep up the land.
THE farmer that saves all of the
manure possible, will find It less
necessary to purchase commercial
fertilizers

Ashes VS.. Plaster for Corn.

1t is very seldom that gypsum or
land plaster does any good on corn.
1t has to be used early To get moist
ure TO dissolve it and make it eff
fective. Ithas the power of drawing
moisture from the air, but in early
spring the more moisture there is in
the soil the less warmth there is
likely to be. Corn needs warmth, and
II 1t gets this early the roots will find
the moisture needed to perfect crop.
But on land where plaster does no
good for corn, wood ashes are almost
always helpful. They, toe, draw
moisture, but the first effect of caustic
potash is to get up ferment and
thus evolve carbonic acid gas This
is necessarily accompanied with in
crease of warmth in the soil, just
what corn in its early stage Of growth
most needs

what IL Cost.

When one stops and counts up what
1t does cost to buy these things in the
abundance in which they are used
when plenty it is truly astonishing.
A friend of mine told me that last
summer the berries his family of five
ate on their table mot counting those
canned) would, if sold, have brought
$50; and 1T is safe TO say that the
vegetables were worth at least $50
more. What farmer can afford to
paw 800 in hard cash for these
things? And who is there that will
say that his fruit and vegetable gar
den at its best ever cost him more
than a quarter of that sum-

volume the ultimate source OF the river
is declared to be in partially Enclosed

rectly south of Lake Itasca. and dis
tant from its head about three miles.
For all practical and popular purposes,
therefore, Lake Itasca may continue to

Evergreens Dying from Cold.

Where evergreens are exposed to
sweeping blasts, which denude the
ground around them of snow, they
often turn brown at the end of the
limbs, and sometimes branches en-
tirely die. This is usually caused by
deep freezing of the ground. While
the snow protection is best, an ice
protection is better than none. In
cold weather throw dozen pailfuls
Of water around the tree and let it
freeze on the surface.

How to Make DImples.

A Louisville girl, who plays on the
cornet, is said to have discovered that
performers on wind instruments gener-
ally develop dimples in their cheeks,
caused probably by the frequent strain
on the facial muscles, which are brought
into play by the act OF blowing. The
clarinet, the flute, the cornet and the
trombone are all said to be excellent
factors in producing this little indenta-
ton, so often vainly coveted by artif-
cial means.

Originating New Varieties of wheat.

Wheat is usually self-fertilized, and
as bees do not come to its blossoms,
it is rarely that new varieties are
originated. Crossing by deposlting
pollen from one variety on another
blossom is not difficult if the time for
doing this is known. This can only
be learned by practice. 1t is not best

A DANA DOCTRINE.

According to the New York Sun 'tho
country is bound to make the expert.
ment of tariff for revenue only. Then
we can tell whether 1t Is good thing or
bad, not by any argument but by ex-
perience."
3 1t would seem that the country is get
ting about all the experience" it wants
from the mere danger Of the enactment
of revenue tariff. IL the threat to
abolish the protective system can
work such great evil to our manufacture
ing and commercial interests what may
be expected if the country should be
really put upon free trade or a reve-
nue. tariff basis. Our experience is
bitterly discouraging as 1t is. To carry
out the threat made at Chicago would
be simply to plunge the country into
financial disaster and ruin.
According to The Suns theory no one
can be sure that the small pox is bad
disease until he has proven it to be by
personal experience. This is Dana
doctrine which it would be dangerous to
follow.

TO CONFIRM VAN ALIEN.

According to reports from Washing
ton the senate committee on foreign re-
lations has agreed to recommend the
confirmation Of j. J. Van Allen as am
bassador to Italy. In the face Of the
storm of indignation which the appoint
ment has aroused this action is some
what surprising and can be accounted
for only on the supposition that the
president has insisted that Mr.. Van
Allen must have the Italian mission.
1t is unnecessary now to point to the
Newport millionaire's utter unfitness
for the honorable Office for which the
president has named him. That has
already been amply proven, but it may
not be amiss to remark that the decision
arrived at by the committee, acting pre-
sumably under instructions from the
White House, will only confirm the
already well-grounded opinion that Van
Allen is to have the place because he
bought and paid for it.
Things have come to pretty pass
indeed when Offices Of honor and trust
are bartered away in return for fat
corruption fund. How long will it be.
If this disgraceful system is counten-
anced and continued. until this country
will be the object Of scorn and derision
among the nations OF the earth.

posed as the apostle of political purity
and morality. Having sanctioned such

The Democratic managers OF Ohio are
not conducting an educational" cam
paign this fall. They are not trying 70
make converts. They'll be satisfied il
they can keep the rank and Gle of their
own party in line. What they really
expect, we do not know; but it looks as
if they expect stampede to the Repub-
lican party.
When Mr. Neal, the Democratic
candidate for governor, learned that
Gov. Mckinley had accepted his joint
debate challenge he "shook in his boots. "
Gov. Mckinley did not receive the
challenge until o'clock in the even
ing. an hour before he was to address
an audienc Q ir the opera house at Find
lay. He informed the Democrats that
he was ready to meet Mr.. Neal; the
latter sent back word that he could not
meet Gov. Mckinley unless the opera
house should ''be cleared of half the
audie nce," TO make room for his own
followers. And that ended it.
This little incident-this little politi :
cal straw-shows which way the tariff
wind is blowing in Ohio. 1t shows that
Candidate Neal wants to talk to Demo-
Gratis instead Of to Republicans it
shows that he does not expect to make
any converts. Ii shows that the Demo-
Gratis have Abandoned all hope of carry
ing Ohio-for how can they carry the
state unless they induce several thou
sand Republicans to enter the Demo-
cratic camp?
But we think Governor Mckinley
made mistake in not consenting to
Meals request; yes, mistake, because
if he had met Neal in joint debate
before mixed audience, half Republi-
cans and half Democrats, he might have
convinced many of the Democrats that
it was their duty to vote the Republi-
can ticket. What q glorious oppor-
tunity slipped through his fngersl
II Mckinley and the other Republi-
can speakers of Ohio could meet Demo-
