FARM NEws-LIvE STOCK NOTES

Give the horses the best feed you can
get. They work hard and should be
we'll treated.
Do you ever give the horses a drink
in the morning before feeding them
grain? If not, try your own break
fast that way once.
Don't let the young pigs get raven
ously hungry, but do not overfeed
them.
Every man who practices mixed
farming, has just as good reason for
keeping a variety of live stock.
Try to improve your stock every
year, and thus add to your profits and
skill.
A yearling sheep that has been care
fully attended to, will sell in the mar
ket with as much profit as any other
animal that is kept on the farm.
If a calf is half fed when young,
it will never be the most profitable
animal to keep.
Stock that is allowed to fall off in
condition, is always kept at more or
less loss, for it costs as much or more
than it originally did to put them back
to the weight they have fallen from.
Use pure bred sires, always. Pick
the best females for breeders, and
never breed to scrub stock.
Is your morse We'll SnOQ, ana does MS
harness fit him? If not, put on a pair
of boots one size too large or small.
and let down one suspender. and find
out for yourself how he feels.
Well bred pigs that are kept grow
ing, are ready for the market all the
time. Scrub hogs do not begin to get
fat until they have got age On them.
Keep your stock in clean, we'll
lighted stables, and keep them clean.
The man who does not curry his horses
at night ought to be obliged to sleep
with his working clothes on.
The most active hens in the flock are
usually the ones to lay the most eggs
1t is a mistake to suppose they are too
busy TO lay.
Shocks of grain which are loosely
built are pretty sure to get wet through
with an average summer shower The
damage to both grain and straw which
results from this, is generally far more
than the value of the extra time required
TO set up the bundles firm and straight
and as close together as they can be put.
Remember that you can sow miIlet
July 10 and raise a fine crop. Sow it
thick on the ground to make fine haly-,
otherwise II will become woody. About
one-half bushel or perhaps more per acre
of German or Hungarian will be proper.
Some men are so afraid of being ac-
cused of doing book farming" that If
they should accidentally discover some of
their pet methods in print they would
probably discard them at once as vis-
lonary or premature

TWO Notable People.

Two persons, whose public services
were of character as wide apart as the
poles, died on Thursday of last week.
Judge Ebenezer lockwood HOar, aged
70, a statesman, jurist and diplomat of
the highest ability, character and learn
ing, who had been attorney general in
President Grants cabinet, and the au-
thor of the famous treaty of Washing
ton, died at Concord, Mass, after long
illness in which the natural intirmities
of old age played prominent part. He
was almost the last survivor of the nota-
BILE band of men whose public career. be-
gan with The free soil movement in 1S4S'
The other was Ward McAllister, the
distinguished leader of New York's
400" who died in that city of pneu.
monia after brief illness, in the prime
of life. Mr. McAlister's life had been
devoted to social functions, ard though
he never won fame for diplomacy, he
was proud of the fact that he once ate
peasants in England that had been shot
10y the Prince of Wales. His career may
hardly be pronounced noble, but he
found place to which he was adapted.
His career, like that of Croker, proves
that by energy and adaptation man
may make place for himself which is
not needed by the public at all,
Judge Hoar, on the other hand, was
happy in his associations, among his in
Inmates having been Emerson, Lowell
and Holmes, as we'll as Hawthorne,
Agassiz and Longfellow. Judge Hoar
was a brother of the Hon. George f.
Hoar. There is no comparison between
these men, when it comes to which shall
afford an example for American youth.
The Judge is the type overtime,

Starkwea'her of Williamstown, and
about $500 worth of liquor taken. His
warrant lave him power to search the
entire house, but part of the building is
across the line in Vermont No Massa-
chusetts court has power to give the
right of search in another State. After
seizing the liquor Starkweather did not
know where to store it, as the police
court in Williamstown had jurisdiction
in cases of but $50 or less. He appealed
to the selectmen, and First Selectman G.
G. Senford offered to store i in his eel
lar till the court convened. Last week
he was notified that it was illegal for him
to have stored it, and the last of the week
an attachment for 81 900 was placed on
his house by Kent d. Anderson, through
their counsel. They refuse to take the
liquor back, and will endeavor to recover
the amount of the attachment. The case
will be peculiar one, and will be hard
fought on both sides. The people of
Williamstown are quite stirred up over
the matter. These line houses havt been
a nuisance for many years, and al eff ort
is being made to haye the legislatures
