HERE AND THERE.

1t pays to take considerable pains
to prepare the soil in a good filth be-
fore sowing the seed.
in nearly every case it will pay to
harvest and store away everything that
can be used for feed during the winter,
especially the coming winter.
1t will be far better to begin feed
ing the growing calves and colts early
rather than to allow them to run down.
Trying to farm without an agri-
cultural paper is as. absurd as novel
without out hero, or dinner with
out potatoes, or town dude without
mustache.
With stock, as with nearly all other
farm products, the best time to sell is
when they are fully ready. There is
usually very little advantage in feed
ing later.
Look after the shelter. is better
to have the shelter ready two weeks
before it is needed than to be one day
behind and have the stock exposed to q
cold storm.
The early chicks will make the
early layers when eggs are high next
spring. In good warm quarters they
will begin business in midwinter and
keep it up, if properly fed.
While with nearly all classes of
stock it is usually advisable to let run
out during the day as long as the
weather will permit, it is often good
plan to commence sheltering at night
in good season
The most important point in mich

blood color or temperament, if digestive

converting animal food into human

There is better health among row
ing fowls because they get the food
which is best for digestion, and get the
necessary grit to help the gizzard do
its work. We should make this study
and profit by it.

horses for the New York market.
Farmers are selling their best horses
and keeping inferior stock. The work
OF years of breeding is going out of the
country for a song; the cheap horses
remain on the farms to reproduce
cheap horses, which are already in
over-supply.
Let us look further: The western
and southern ranges are full of cheap
horses, and can keep the horse market
OF the country crowded with low-priced
things, such as they are, for years and
years. The fact is, farmers can not
hope to compete with the cheapness of
the ranges; they must excel in quality

Railroad building In Corsica.

After going about half the distance
between Corte and Vizzavona, the evil
dences of the construction of the inter-
mediate sections of the railroad become
apparent. The laborers on the excava-
tions for the bridges and the heavy cuts
were many of them women, young
girls and boys, and all, including the
men, carried the dirt and stone out in
baskets on their heads. BY this slow,
toilsome method is all this work done,
and it appeared to me that the work
would be interminable, but 1 was told
that the contractors were under heavy
bonds to complete the road in the Tina
contracted for, and that it would GER
tainly be accomplished ii.

Getting Late Strawberries,

An amateur gardener has discovered
how to get late Strawberries. He cuts
away the first flowers, and it takes two
weeks to produce another set. making
the fruit that much later. The crop
will not be as large as if the first flow
ers had been unmolested, and natural

leisure to pet his plants.-Farmers'
Home Journal.
