Cattle for Coming Years.

No live stock promises better average
returns for the next five years than
beef cattle. For seven years past the
beef industry has been undergoing
readjustm. nt, which has during tho
past two years placed it upon a more
stable basis The immense ranch is no
longer so much in the way of smaller
herds Spectators no longer regard the
bovine bonanza, and the situation as
sures normal. steady and profitable re-
turns on feeding and grazing enter

out the entire country encourages the
belief that the breeder will secure large
profits. Cattle of all ages are in de-

bred carefully. being mated with pure
bred bulls of the best quality, the prod

AROUND THE APIARY.

AFTER choosing place for the bee
stands do not change it.
ITALIANS produce larger number of
bees than blacks, and SO, indirectly,
more honey.
The moth miller is a much to be
dreaded enemy of the bees, but it the
stock is kept strong they will not al
low it to deposit its eggs on the comb.
THERE seems to be no limit to the
study of bees. BY the use of an OBJ
servatory hive everything that goes on
inside can be seen and something new
learned every day.
The honey of the Malta bees is noted
for its purity and delicious flavor. This
is due to the extensive crop of sulla
(clover), from which the bees extract
most of their honey.
Mrs. ATCHLEY has thought of an ex-
cellent way to haul bees. She has a
wire cloth house on a wagon. and puts
in it box hives of bees upside down
without shutting the bees in the hives

few were found flying about in the wire

SHEEP ON THE FARM.


with Proper Management They WIZ Re-
turn . Fair Profit.
An all-purpose animal suits the farm
er best. This is especially true OF
sheep. The sheep that is wanted Is
one that will grow a good fleece of me-
dunn wool. The quality and the guam
tity must be good, and, at the same
time, a good carcass of mutton is de-
manded. Under present conditions ID
is the general purpose sheep of q good
grade that will pay the best profit
At the same time no one breed of
sheep will be best on all soils or under
all conditions. Some thrive best in one
locality and some in another. In maxi
ing a selection care must be taken to
get the kind best adapted to the con-
ditions they must be kept under. While
q few sheep may be kept on almost
every farm, yet anything like large
flock requires plenty of dry. nutritious
pasture. with an abundant supply Of
good water. There are few sheep that
will give any thing like satisfactory re-
suits if kept in low, wet land. seeded to
heavy, coarse grasses or supplied with
impure water.
With wool as with other products
there is no possible advantage in stint
ing the feed and care at the expense Of
the growth and quality. If the sheep
are allowed to run down in winter
there will be weak place in the fiber
of the wool, and. as quality is an inn
portant factor, it will pay to use care
to have the best growth and quality.
Farmers who are convenient to a
good market can make early spring
lambs very profitable. Another farmer
inconvenient to market that is only
keeping a few sheep will Fl nd that to
make the most profit he must feed his
sheep to full growth and make good
muttons and good wool rather more q
speciality.
At this season sheep are too often al.
lowed to run down. They are on dry
feed now, and if they are kept in thrifty
condition little extra care must be-
given them. 1t will pay to give this.
otherwise it will require more or less
of the best of the season for growth to
make up what has been lost during the
winter-St. Louis Republic.

Thanks to the Herald's Free Clothing
Fund, which is the most practical
charity ever started in New York, he
can procure a good suit of clothes
gratuitously. Thousands of men,
women and children have been thus
provided for. These garments are
contributed mostly by persons who
are so frequently referred to by our
anarchistic brethren as 'capitalistic
bloodsuckers." 1t is great bracer
to man, who is actually seeking en-
ployment, to be decently clad, for, as
German poet truthfully says: Poverty
clothes the soul as we'll as the body in
rags"
There are other places where any
person can get bread free of cost.
There are numerous restaurants where
anybody who has an appetite can
quench it with soup, coffee, etc.
Then, again, there are institutions
where, for a nominal sum, a good
meal and nights lodgings can be
obtained. There are, also, numerous
special charities in active operation.
The New York Mirror, for instance,
has raised a large fund for the benefit
of theatrical people who may be out
of employment, and their name just
now is legion. The grand army peo-
pie have made arrangements to pro-
vide for any such destitute persons
who were in the federal army or navy
during the war.
All this goes to dispel the pessimistic
idea that this is heartless world. In
fact, people were never so warm
hearted and charitable as they are to-
day, taking them as a whole. CT
course, there are always some people
who are dissatisfied with their lot in
life, even il it should happen to be a
corner lot worth $1,000 running foot.

Ono of the most remarkable illustra-

the fact that, while there is more pow

have no credit with the coal dealer. In

PLANNING FARM WORK.
A Word About the Possibilities OF Agri-
cultural EndeavOr.

Word About the Possibilities Of Agri-
cultural Endeavor.
The possibilities of farming are great,
and l am sometimes almost out of pa
thence to see men who till the soil have
SO little faith in the business. l know
of some men possessed of a few acres
of land, who have SO little faith in
farming or gardening that they will let
the land lie almost common, work out
some and purchase what they could
and should grow on their own acres.
Instead of being obliged to buy their
potatoes, garden stuff and grain, they
should have all they want to use, be-
sides some to sell. When we consider
that agriculture is the most ancient
and honorable occupation under the
sun, and in reality being the founda-
ton upon which life itself is dependent,
is it not little strange how anyone
can distrust the faithfulness of mother
earth? Why, the man who owns in
fee simple even few acres should
feel independent and put forth all his
energies to improve it and make it
rich. and grow all he can on it. One can
hardly realize what large amount of
products he can grow from a small
area, if it is rich, until he has tried it.
Now is the time we'll calculated for
the perfecting of plans. Those who
own a few acres or those who own
MANY, will do well to look the situa-
ton carefully over and lay their plans
for next years operations in a sys-
tematic manner. with faith in the soil
which they till.-F. II. Dow, in Farm.

he pleases. and selling it. According
ly it is not surprising that these ignor-
ant and half-civilized people should de-
fend, even with violence, their proper
ty from destruction by the United
States officers, who come armed into
their mountain homes, cut to pieces
their apparatus, ruin their business
and carry them off to prison.
They are poverty-stricken people
depending mainly upon the cultiva-
ton of small patches of ground for
their subsistence. To illustrate their
wretchedness Capt. Davis, the famous
moonshine raider, tells a story of one
of these mountaineers whom he found
in the act of driving hog out of his
potato patch. The man was accom-
plishing this purpose by wheeling a
dog in q wheelbarrow after the hog.
Upon explanation it appeared that the
dog was too starved to be able to walk,
but was still in condition to do the
barking. Wages in that region are
only about fifty cents day. The tax
on whisky being ninety cents gallon,
if the illicit distiller only produces one
gallon a day he can hire a farm hand
to do his work for half dollar and yet
have forty cents clear gain by devot-
ing his own attention to making spir-
it's from cornmeal. The only difficult
ty is to sell the product, which must be
disposed of with extraordinary precau-
tions. No purchaser is ever permitted
to approach the still, and anybody who
comes upon it by chance is requested
to stir mash, light the fire or do some
such task, being informed thereupon
that ANYONE who assists in unlawful
distilling is liable to the same punish
ment as the proprietor"
Very curious pleas are sometimes en-
tered in their own defense by accused
mconshiners. In a Tennessee conrt
one day, about ten years ago. a tall,
lean and homely-looking old man, re-
spending to such a charge, arose in a
Gignified manner and addressed the
judge as follows:
'.Jedge, your question is plain, and
am goin' to answer it plain. You ask
if l am guilty, but in pint of fact am
not any more guilty than you are your
self. l was widower and my present
wife was a widow when we got mar
ried. She owns all the property, and
tell you she manages everything about

and about a year ago they bought .

The power and longevity of the horse

care and feeding he receives. He can
draw on his fixed stock of vitality to

duces his value. That horses have been
