May Irwin in 1.-THE Widow Jones" has

leading children's periodicals of that day,
1.-THE Little Corporal" "Children's Hour"
"The School-Day Magazine" and "Our
Young Folks among them. The last chill
dren's magazine to be merged in st. Mich
olas was "Wide Awake" which was pur-
chased and consolidated with it OILY few
years ago. 1t has been fortunate in secur-
ing contributions for its pages from the
leading writers and artists of the language
while it has given to its readers many
works that have become imperishable
classics in juvenile literature. st. Nicholas
has had for many years large circulation
in Europe, and it is said to be read by many
royal children. When the children of the
Prince of Wal es' family were young the
Prince took six copies for his household,
and the present Crown Prince of Italy grew
up constant reader of st. Nicholas.
The magazine is a help to those that have
the care and up-bringing of children. in
that it is full of brightness and interest and
tends to cultivate high aspirations, with
out being "preachy" and prosy and lug
ging in too apparent moralizing. Its readers
are always loyal to it, and they will be glad
to learn what has been provided for their
delectation during the coming year. The
leading feature will be delightful series
of letters written to young people from
Samoa by Robert Louis Stevenson. These
describe the picturesque life ofthe lamented
romancer in his island home. and give in

"The Prize Cup" is one of Trowbridge's
best stories. Albert Stearns, whose "Chris

another story that promises much. In

to "The Arabian Nights for inspiration.
An American boy enters into partnership

that this brings about can be imagined.

THE SHEEP FOLD.

Not taking account of the wool, NUT

They must pay, or flock masters would

In some regions the docking of sheep
is being abandoned. 1t is cruel, harm
full and useless. Sheep need their
tails, or they would not have been
given them. It is claimed that grub

which whole 1ocks die. Now the

ONE ADVANTAGE.

One of the principal advanta-
ges of dairying over nearly any other
line of farming is the better Opportu-
nifty afforded to keeping up the fertil-
ity. In the selling of butter but a
small amount Of fertility or plant food
is sold from the farm so that il proper
care is taken to save and apply back
the manure and 10 feed the milk to
stock on the farm it is possible to
keep up the fertility. In too many
cases in the feeding of beef cattle a
good portion of the more valuable part
of the manure is lost, while in selling
the steers when properly matured,
there is sold large amount of plant
food. Good authorities claim that in
selling a ton of beef steers, 81 90
worth of fertility goes with them. with
grains, such as wheat or corn $500
worth of fertility is sold with potatoes
about S2 90 while ton of butter only
takes Accents worth of fertility from
the farm.
Then dairying affords better means
of saving the manure, as the dairyman
is compelled from necessity, not only
if he regards his own comfortbut if he
expects to make the most out Of his
cows to keep them under shelter, and
in doing this will make large amount
of manure, it will be of a better quail
ity and it will be in better shape to
be handled and applied when it is
most needed.
1t is not best or necessary to make
dairying a specially to the exclusion of
everything else, but rather in connec-
tion with grain growing. Of course
with some it may be best to make it an
exclusive business, but for the average
farmer this would not hold good. But
where variety of crops are grown and
they are to be fed out upon the farm,
ten or even more cows can be kept and
the m ilk or cream be made into good
butter and marketed in this way while
the skim milk or buttermilk can be fed
to the pigs, calves and poultry on the
farm. II in connection with this the
manure isapplied back to the land, the
fertility can at least be maintained if it
is not improved.-Nebraska Former.

Mr.. Restore Turner, farmer resid-

farm Of one hundred and six acres,
sold this year eight hundred dollars
worth OF watermelons from fourteen
acres; he has now three thousand bas-
kets of sweet potatoes stored away,
which he says will net him thirteen
hundred dollars: He raises chickens
for the Philadelphia market, and had
this spring and summer five hundred
broilers, for which he received $1.70
per pair, besides butter and vegetables.
He feeds his chickens with corn meal,
with little salt and redpeper, to which
he adds cracklings gotten from lard
factories.
This feed makes fat plump broilers,
which command the highest price. His
farm of 106 arces produces annually
$500 In money for the production from
the land. Mr.. Turner's wife was q
Miss Hall, relative Of the late Gov
ernor Hall Of Frederick, Delaware.
She owns farm near Frederick.
Mr.. Turner says after trial he finds no
money in hogs not much In dairy but
hard work, and as for corn. wheat and
oats there is no profit, often a loss. He
makes his mony from chickens, water-
melons and sweet potatoes; his farm
land isrich and the buildings the best
and employs two aud often four men
to do The work. He has no interest to
pay, but has interest paid to. him.
