Mutton for Farmers.

AS class, farmers make much less
use of mutton than they should. The
Wool and Hide Shipper, in speaking of
this, says mutton is palatable, cheap
and nutritious, and when sheep are
kept upon the farm it affords an oppor-
tunity of having fresh meat at less
cost and with alless risk of loss than al
most any other class of stock. During
harvest and at threshing more or less
fresh meat is necessary, and with lit
tie planning a few head OF sheep
be ready for this service. Then it may
be 30 convenient at all times. Butch
ers do not usually come around to the
farm houses with fresh meat; and if
they do sheep farmers have much
more economical, healthful supply of
their own. One advantage is that NUT
ton will keep longer than either beef
or pork. A little care is needed,to have
mutton of good quality available as
needed. There are usually wethers or
ewes that have not proven good breed
ers, that can be fattened and kept
ready for the table. An average farm
family will take care of good mutton
before it will spoil.-Selected.

The Wisconsin AgriculturiSt says
Take piece of liver, rough lean meat
or any cheap portions from the butcher,
and boil it to pieces or to a broth. Add
sufficient salt to season, and cooked
turnips or potatoes also may be added.
While boiling add sufficient of a mix
ture of equal parts of middlings and
ground oats to thicken the mess to con-
sistency, the thicker the better. When
cold feed it at night, giving the hens
all they will eat. A large pot full will
keep for several days during cold
weather. IL is an excellent egg-pro-
ducing mess, and it would do for feed
in all seasons of the year.

Sour Milk for Calves.

Sour milk is not fit food for calf. 1t
may keep the animal alive, but it will
not thrive or make healthy growth.
The sour milk will quickly curdle in the
stomach and cause indigestion. 1t is
this way of feeding calf that makes
so many poor cows, for an animal that
has been stunted in its earliest growth
will never recover the loss afterward.
Skinned milk, if sweet, is good for
any calf, but it should be warmed to
eighty or ninety degrees, as it is most
digestible at that temperature. Fat is
not 30 much required for young calf.
Muscular growth is needed more than
fat, and thus makes better COW than
if the food made fat animal. 1t is
quite safe to give month old calf a
light ration Of ground oats and corn
meal, few ounces at first, gradually
increasing.-Troy Times.

Alsike Clover with Timothy.

Most farmers in seeding wish to keep
the land in grass more than single
year. For this purpose a mixture of
alsike clover seed with timothy seed
makes the best combination that we
know of. The first years growth will
be mainly alsike, and the first crop to
be cut will contain scarcely any tim
othy. But alsike clover is biennial
and its first cutting is its last. OF
course its roots begin to decay after the
plant has died, and then the timothy
comes forward very rapidly, often max
ing good second growth for hay when
the first crop has been cut early
enough. N. e. Homestead.

What Cattle Need.

In artificial feeding of cattle the flesh
forming and heat producing elements
should bear given relationship to each
other, according to the season. If a
COW is not in milk, she may not need
any more albuminoids than in warm
weather, but she will need more heat
producing food. But when she is
in milk she will require much larger
proportion of albuminoids; so that to
keep up the flow of milk she must re-
ceive those kinds of food in which al
buminoids bear a large proportion, as
compared with heat-producing materi-
ais. These kinds of food would be
meal of various kinds, and grains gen.
orally, oil cake, cotton cake and hay cut
a little under ripe.-Pioneer Press.

Further investigation discloses rregu-

at times, and perhaps leucorrhma.
Then surely the evidence is all-suffcient.
An American woman has discovered
that the cause of all this lies in deranged

The Old House.

Cold and cherries, bare and bleak,
The old house fronts the shabby street,
And the dull windows eastward gaze
As their cobwebbed brows they raise,
just as though they looked to see
What had be ONE of you and me
And all the other children.
The garden at the sde-you know
Where mothers flowers used to grow
Has run as wild MS we'd have grown
If We had not her training known.
The vines she bent still Irvine each tree
As cling her prayers TO you aud me
And all the other children.
over the caves, wrinkled and bare,
The gray moss floats like tangled hair.
If we had heard these echoes flung
Down the long halls when we were young,
Wed never scurried off to bed
You and Through the gloom oerhead,
With all the other children.
on our wide orbs the eyes of night
Gazed softly with mesmeric light
When mother bent above our bed
The silver moonlight touched her head
And in my dreams her face I'd see,
hadonnalike, shine over me
Shine over all her children.
The dust drifts DER the garnet floor,
The little feet tread there no more,
But DER the stage, still standing there,
The muse first stalked, with tragic air,
And whispered low to you and me
OF golden days that we're to be
For us and all the children.
Goodby, old house! Thy tattered cloak
Is friuged with moss and gray with smoke.
within thy walls we used to see
A gaunt old wolf named Poverty.
Yet from thy rafters' dingy bars
A ladder stretched up to the stars
For us and all the children.

Mr.. Miller, too, was at his best, and

subject "The Stranger at our Gate''-
was likewise timely, and he handled 1t

attention of his hearers from start to

fact that Mr.. Miller is thoroughly
American, believing fully in the
glorious destiny of our country, and
