The Live stock Situation.

On che 10th of February the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington sum
married. the live stock situation as fol
lows: The estimates of farm animals
for January, 1894, indicate decrease in
the number of horses as compared with
January, 1888, of a little less than $40
of per cent, an increase in mules of
about $40 of per cent, an incnease of
milch cows of nearly 40 of per cent,
and of oxen and other cattle of a little
less than per cent; sheep, in the III
terval between these dates, have suffered
a numerical loss of nearly > per cent,
and hogs have fallen OIL in numbers
nearly 2 per cent.
In prices horses have declined l-l9
per cent, mules Il per cent, milch cows
have remained almost stationary, but
with increasing tendency, while oxen
and other cattle have lost 3-S per cent
There has been decline in the price of
horses throughout the country, except
ing in Rhode Island and Idaho. The
range of prices is from Sl5.s0 per head in
New Mexico to S95.43 in Rhode Island,
the averaging being sl7 SO.
The price of milch cows has advanced
in some sections, but the decline in other
parts of the country has so nearly Offset
the increase, that the average for the
country remains at about the figures of
1893. The decline in the price of sheep
has been considerable in the last year,
notwithstanding the decided decrease in
plumbers. Hogs have also fallen in
price, but there is every appearance of
rapid recovery.

Blood VIII Tell.

In every case where flock has given
good results, it has been because the
hens were of stock noted for laying. 1t
is just AS important for the farmer or
poultryman to look to the breeding of
his poultry, if he desires the highest
possible production, as it is to adhere to
pure-bred cattle, sheep or swine. The food
is factor in all cases, but as some animal
will produce more on the same food than
others, so will the hens. Any defects in
the flock can only be rcmedied by sys-
TEN of breeding. The flocks that are to
do service this year should be replaced
next season with better ones If 1t can be
done. The next years stock, however,
depends on this years work. The
future hen must be Matched a year ahead
and she will be just what she inhel its
from her parents. The trough, with its
feed, will be "A valuable adjunct to we'll
bred hens but there is only one way to
get such hens, and that is to breed for
them and improve them every year.
The Somerset reporter., 1894-03-29
Effect of Food on Eggs.

1t is bad plan to feed hens on often
sive refuse of any kind; the refuse OF
fish markets is generally eaten by them,
but the eggs will have a fishy flavor.
Kitchen swill is good If fed while fresh,
and in moderate quantity along with
grain. But il the swill is allowed to be-
come sour and offensive the hens will
often suffer in health and the eggs will
lose in flavor. When hens are fed large
ly on milk the yolk is lighter in color
and the white has milk look, while the
whole egg is watery and less firm in
texture than those laid by grain fed hens.
From this it must not be argued that
milk is not good food for laying hens,
but that they must not be given it too
exclusively. Those who are DESTROYS
of building up a good reputation for
good fresh eggs. and securing the profits
of II good retail trade and also of keep
ing their hens health should be cautious
about feeding any offensive food.

A Reading Boy.

do not think it is very servceable to
make list of books for children to read.
No two have exactly the same aptitude,
tastes. or kinds of curiosity about the
world. And one story or bit of infoma-
ton may excite the interest of class in
school. or the children In one family,
which will not take at all with others.
The only thing is to take hold some
where, and to begin to use the art OF
reading to find ont about things as you
use your eyes and ears. | knew boy,

lions OF these books, exactly as he
would ask a living authority, and kept

could tell, where it occurred, and what
damage it did, how many houses it bu-
ried, and how many people it killed, and
what shape it left the country it had sha-
ken. From that he went on to try to
discover what caused these disturbances,
and this led him into other inYestiga-
tions, and at last into electricity, practi-
cal as well as theoretical. lie examined
machines and invented machines, and
kept on reading. and presently he was
an expert in electricity. He knew how
to put in wires. and signals and bells,
and to do a number of practical and use
fal things, and almost before he was
able to enter High school he had great

Ashes and Manure.

Mr. Editor: Some of my neighbors
mix their wood ashes with their horse
manure through the winter months,
thereby causing the manure to rot down
to firm compost without heating or
burning. have read in some paper
mixing ashes with stable manure causes
much of the plant food Of both to escape
by evaporation in the atmosphere.
Please publish this and what you know
about it, and oblge. A SUBSCRIBER.

1t is wrong practice to mix ashes with
manure of any kind, unless applied at
once and mingled with the soil. The
ashes act on the nitrogen in the manure,
setting it free, and causing it to escape
into the air where of course it Is lost.
Since horse manure is rich in nitrogen,
the value of the manure would be great
ly impaired by such practice. Maine

Among the many good features of the
Grange, those which will commend
themselves as of greatest value are the
social opportunities and the cultivation
of the power to express ones self in
public. The contact of mind wit mind
needed by the farmer, as we'll as the doc
tor or Minister and the man who simply
thinks at home will never go ahead so
fast as the man who thinks out loud in
public. Working Mt farming, thinking
about farming and talking about farm
ing, all tend towards perfecting man
for his life's work. Betting at horse
races, running around making party
speeches, specializing in stocks and fu-
lures, buying lottery tickets, are not the
means towards giving man success IN
any,direction. If you area farmer, make
1t your life work, and embrace every
chance that will enable you better to dc
that life work. Especially should the
advantages of the Grange be improved
