their young red and blue blood BY exercise that
was at times almost violent in its character.

Profit In Early Lambs.

The most profit is made from the
quickest sale of any product, and es-
pecially of such as must be fed expen-
sively. And there is no quicker product
and none other that is so profitable
as the early lamb One sells for as
much in May as two in November,
and the farmer not only gets the bet
ter price but he saves twice, or even
four times, the feeding. Any large
town or city furnishes the market for
them, and the early sale makes it pos
.sible to fatten the ewes after the lambs
are sold and market them out Of the
way for another flock in the fall The
kind of lamb, however, is to be thought
of. The best OF all is cross of a
Shropshire ram on native ewes-that
is, considering the profit, for the pure
lamb is to be preferred before the
cross, were it not that the pure ewes
are too costly to be made into mutton,
as with the common ones. And the
disposal Of the ewes and the less
first cost make the larger profit.
The ewes should be purchased early in
September so that the lambs may come
not later than February, and if the flock
is gathered in August so much the bet
ter, for the earlier they are in the mar
ket the more they bring. In this bust
ness one has three dividends and the
first cost returned within year; the
lambs, the fleece, the profit on the ewes
and the first cost returned, This is a
profitable business.-American Agricul'
turist.

MARvELS OF INSTINCT.
Wonderful Adaptability OF Animals t.
Their Circumstances.

Wonderful Adaptability OF Animals to
Their Circumstances.
Did you ever stop to consider the mar
wells of instinct as exhibited in insects,
birds and animals? Take the solitary
wasp, the "mud-dauber," if you please,
as an illustration of instructive sense
which seems to me to be equally as de-
sirable as mind and reason. In provid-
ing for the maggot or worm that is to
be Matched from her egg, this lowly in
sect brings soft spiders and grubs, a
species of food which she has never
tasted since she became wasp, and de-
posts them directly over the eggs from
which the children she is doomed to
never see will finally issue. What in
ward sense of motherly duty tells tn is
creature that her SOON to-be motherless
children will need a meatfoot during
the time they are preparing for their
first transformation? Yet the life his
tory of every -pecies of insect shows
wonderful exhibitions of instinct or
marvellous foresight The butterfly
lays her eggs on the plants best calcu-
lated to furnish food for the grub that
will hatch from them; the seventeen
year locust, Cicada septemdecem, lays
its eggs in holes bored in the ends OF
limbs, the boring always, or nearly
always, being done in such manner as
to cause the limb to break off with the
first wind. thus bringing the insect
h. 10 ~ with Tho Nth
his future home, as soon as he is
Matched. The young chicken is another
good illustration of the marvels
of instinct In releasing himself
from the she'll he does not do so by
bursting the prison walls asunder, as
many persons imagine; on the contrary
he cuts bis way out by a regular series
of strokes For this cutting operation
the bird has an instrument specially
provided, an instrument for which
there is no other earthly use-a sharp,
hard, toothlike horn on the top of the
upper mandible, This cutter, having
served its purpose, wholly disappears
within few days Isn't it wonderful
how bird in an eggshell, one that has
never breathed the breath of life in the
true sense of the word, understands
the use of an instrument that will soon
become useless to it, and how that
marvellous faculty called instinct di.

where to cut in order to most easily
and effectually free itself2-St. Louis

Now is the time to see the effect of

the stalks and the husks around the ear
were turning yellow and fast drying

different The lower blades had not
begun, comparatively speaking, to turn
yellow. They were not crisp, and could
not be easily blown off by the wind as
in the other field, The corn has good

ception of gravelly knoll, which,
however, looks no worse than the other

HERE AND THERE.

You could not make the farmer
who has had nice bunch Of fat pork
ers to turn off this summer believe that
it does not pay to raise hogs,
Hogs that are treated as scavengers
and fed upon Stops and garbage do not
make good, wholesome meat. Treat
your pigs decently if you intend them
for human food.
One swallow does not make sum-
mer. One good dairy bull or COW of q
beef breed does not prove TAT all that
dairymen should go in for that breed as
the long-sought general purpose bovine
1t is poor policy to starve hogs.
If you have not the grain to feed we'll
and can not see your way clear to get
it, better sell your stock to some one
who can feed properly.
No kind of stock is affected more
by dry, warm weather than hogs. If
you want your swine to do the best
possible see that they have plenty of
good fresh, cool water whenever they
want it.
The heaviest loss among swine, ac-
cording to the department Of agri-
culture reports, is sustained in the
south. Georgia leads with a loss OF
almost 10 per cent, while Alabama,
Mississippi and Arkansas are not far
behind.
AS against summer-made stable
manure it may be said that, owing to
the fields being at that time generally
under cultivation, it is often more diff
cult to place it where it is most wanted
or to preserve it from loss than is the
case in winter and spring

Although clover is rich in nitrogen,
yet it takes but little nitrogen from tho
soil, returning more than it receives.
1t is very partial to lime and potash.

cial fertilizer for clover on some soils.
in feeding many hogs it is better to
separate them into two or three small
lunches, putting those of the same size
and weight together. This will give all
an equal show at the trough, and the
small ones can be crowded more if nee
essary.
With young, vigorous trees growing
in newly-made borders of rather strong
loan, root-pruning at the end of the
first or second year after planting will
prove beneficial in checking strong
growth and tend to the maturation of
the wood.
| If the pasture is short and the sea-
son dry it is better to take the cows off
for awhile than to attempt to utilize
the pasture at the risk of injury. Moth.
