Bread and milk are almost as safe diet
for most animals as for human beings, and
five thousand quarterns of bread and six
thousand quarts of milk represent the guam

the Zoo. Most of the insect-eating birds,
many monkeys, and certain snakes and liz

eggs probably account for twice that num-

cases eaten by all the lions, tigers, bears

Lambs for Market.
Farmers Guide.

There are certain branches Of the stock
business which give much more than the
average profit, II man is fitted by nature
to handle them, and has, I'm addition, the
proper facilities for 1t. Among them Is
hardly any one which will pay better under
such conditions than growing very early
lambs for market. The man who is IN ear
Hest can command practically his own
price, so that he is justified in almost any
outlay required for producing them, and
this is only one way in which the sheep
business is paying those who follow 1t in
diligently. Mutton sheep are constantly
growing in demand. and in a single week
the Chicago market has taken care OF fifty
thousand head, and that without any glut
or depression of prices. A few years ago
such receipts would have swamped the mar
ket. Butchers are on the lookout for good
mutton all the time and the frequent COM
plant is that they-cannot get enough of IL.
OF course, they cs-I. get mutton of some
trade to handle any but the best, and so
are more careful than they once were as
to what they put on their blocks 1t is
this fact, that they can depend upon get
ting better quality than formerly or none
that has stimulated the demand for mutton
among meat eaters, for the best class OF
customers prefer to have none offered
them unless the quality is up to the high
est standard. Growers who take inferior
mutton to market, and butchers who handle
II, both do much TO hurt the future OF the
apt to consider ii as an indication of what
they may expect in the future, and so they
go back TO beef and pork. The future OF
the mutton industry is in the hands of the
sheep growers, and they can make Ii what
they will.

Bcautifying the Waste Places.

heeLan s monthly.
1t is said that few farmers have any
great taste for gardening. that farming is
simply mere question of getting the most
out OF the ground that is possible; in other
words. il Is a business in which money
making rules supreme. This is a very good
principle to take as the basis of success
ful Farming, yet beauty never does any
harm even in connection with the solid
facts and figures of business. especially
when II can be accomplished without the
expenditure of much cash. Pennsylvania is
State famous for its number of springs
there Is scarcely farm in the whole of its
wide territory but has a spring of water
tiers endeayored, as far as practicable, to
build their houses near these springs. over
the outlets of which they erected what are
known as spring houses in which the
various operations of the dairy are con-
Quoted. In passing through a portion OF
Pennsylvania, recently, the writer was in
terested in noting that In a case where the
pathway had TO be cut several wards
through the surrounding earth to get to the
spring, account OF its being some feet
below the surface OF the earth the little
embankment formed by this cut was thick
~ studded with large stones or rocks
and in among these rocks were set native
ferns evidently collected from the woods In
the locality. To preare this could scarcely
have occupied more than day, and yet
the result was. as the poet would say, "a
thing OF beauty" which was certainly "a
10y forever" There Is no reason why these
little evidences OF superior taste In the
owner OF a farm might not be more ex-
tensiyely exhibited than they evidently are.

contained fully much butter fat as the
milk from the cows which received grass
only, the butter production being the same
Selling Is that system in which the cows
are confined and the green food supplied
pasture. In the two years following the
ilrst experiment both pasturing during
dry season and soiling were tested, one lot
OF cows receiving the same ration OF grain
mentioned above during both seasons. The
result was that the increased product or
butter was sufficient to pay for the grain,
and at period when pasturage was not
plentiful the result was the same. In all
cases the increased product of butter sim
ply paid for the grain. The largest yield
OF milk was from the use of pasturage
alone, and as the milk Is also valuable as
well as butter, this is an important point
In favor Of grass, and especially as the
grasS-fed cows gave not only more milk
but fully as much butter as the others.
This leaves the question open for discussion,
the cost of the land used as pasture being
q factor for consideration.

dry goods snow but slight fluctuations
Notwithstanding the weak tone of the dry

receipts are decreasing and higher prices
may be looked for The market East is
somewhat glutted, but it will soon be
cleared. Eggs are scarce and advancing. In
the fruit and vegetable line easier prices
prevail, Irish potatoes being 1Oc bushel
lower than two weeks ago. Jerseys are
selling lower than ever before known In
this market, making it almost impossible
TO sell Indiana growth. Irish potatoes are
being shipped in here from several direc
