THE FARM SPECIALIST.
His Fat Years Are Bound to Be Succeede
by Lean Ones.

His Fat Years Are Bound to Be Succeeded
by Lean Ones.
y few days ago we were talking with
an old friend about the prospects for
breeders of live stock, and he congratu-
lated himself that he had stuck to his
cattle through the bad times, for now
he thinks he will be able to sell at prices
that will be remunerative.
At the same time, he said he was sorry
that others were selling their sheep at
any price that was offered, and had
stopped breeding horses at all, for his
experience has shown him that the man
who is constantly changing his live
stock from one kind to another as the
demand varies, is very apt to buy at
high prices and sell at low, while the
man who is steadfast and keeps on in
the way he has begun gets the benefit
of COOL times for his particular line OF
stock and rarely suffers in bad times
worse than those who change.
This is true of almost all farming
operations. Unless the farmer grows
all kinds of crops and keeps ali kinds of
stock, he is apt to miscalculate the
course of the markets in the future and
buy and sell at the wrong time. DIVERSE
fled industries will allow him to meet
the demands of any year, while the
specialist has his good years and bad
ones. Which is the best every man
must determine for himself-Farn

Race Track Camping ut Paris.

The Paris correspondent of a London
newspaper represents an awful condi-
ton of affairs in Paris in his statement
about the gambling of the working
classes of that city. "Our knowledge
of the money laid out in betting" he
says, lis very imperfect, the statistics
lust published being is months behind
hand, and then only the figures of the
.pari mutueP are available. No esti-
mates can be formed of the business
done by the bookmakers and by agen-
cies, who, even when protesting to take
their clients money to the 'pari mu-
tuel,' and charging the official duty.
pass the bets through sort of agents
clearing house, thus adding the amount
of the tax TO their own commission.
Still, the sums paid to the peri mutuel'
in the course of the year come up to
sT,56o,0oO sterling, contributed, it may
be noticed, by the sovereign masses of
universal suffrage. Aristocratic back
ers lave no liking for the jostiing and
garlic of the .pari mutuef crowds, nor
for the excessive dues claimed there
by the kitty. They stick to the book
maker. Almost the whole of this
budget of gambling. greater than the
cost of the national education, has been
levied on the people of Paris on the
suburban race courses and at Chantii
ly."-N. Y. Observer.

HINTS ABOUT ALFALFA
Fuynished by the Grass Expert Of tn
Agricultural Department.

Fuynfshed by the f13rass Expert Of thu
Agricultural Departments.
From the department of agriculture
comes valuable bulletin by the assist
ant agrostologist, or '.grass expert.
Mr.. Jared G. Smith, and from it we con-
dense the following:
Alfalfa seed weighs 60 pounds to the
bushel. . s..sa
For hay crop. SOW "a to 80 pounds OF
seed per acre. ;ria.
For a crop of seed, sow IA to IS pounds
per acre.
Sow clean seed.
North of the latitude of Washington
d. c., sow alfalfa in the spring, as soon
as the ground is warm-from the mid.
die of April to the middle of May. Sow
in drills or broadcast.
In the south and southwest and in
California sow alfalfa in spring or au'
tumn Sow in drills. In the south
sow in drills 16 to 20 inches apart, and
cultivate the first season.
Do not cover the seed too deep.
Alfalfa does not attain maturity un-
til the third or fourth year; therefore
do not sow it expecting to get the best
results in less than that time.
Alfalfa grows best on a deep, sandy
loan, underlaid by loose and per
meab1e subsoil. 1t will not grow il
there is an excess of water in the soil
The land must be well drained.
Alfalfa is deep feeder. Plow the
land thoroughly; the deeper the better.
Alfalfa thrives best in soils contain
ing lime, potash and magnesium. 1t
does not grow we'll in soils containing
an excess of iron, or where lime is who'll
ly absent.
Cut for hay when the first flowers ap-
pear. If cut in full bloom the hay will
be woody and less nutritious.
Cut for seed when the middle clusters
of seed pods are dark brown.
To make alfalfa hay, cut in the fore
noon and let it wilt; then rake into
windrows. 1t should be cured in wind
rows and cocks, and stacked or put in
barns with as little handling as posi-
BILE. Great care is required in order to
get it in stack before the leaves become
too dry and brittle. The leaves are the
most palatable and nutritious part of
the hay.
Cover the stacks with caps. This will
present loss by molding when it rains.
In the arid regions, where irrigation
is practiced, put water on the field be-
fore sowing the seed and Immediately
after cutting each crop of hay.
1t is not safe to pasture either cattle
or sheep on alfalfa, as they are liable to
bloat when it is fed green. Feed them
a. l.
There is no better or cheaper way OF
growing hogs than to pasture them on
alfalfa. One acre will furnish pasturage
for from ten to twenty hogs per season.
Horses can be pastured on alfalfa
There is no better hay for work animals,
or for young, growing stock.

The Fence Problem Again.

Farm fences, aside from turning
stock, are an evil, as they harbor all
manner of vermin which spread on all
sides. The fence occupies valuable
land and prevents close blowing to the
edge of the field. Remove what fences
are not necessary. Set a by by 30
inch stone at each corner boundary of
the farm. Then cultivate the field
often and drive all vegetable and ami
NAL vermin from the farm. If fencing
is necessary. none will surpass the
modern strand wire fence For cat
tie, use barbed wire; for horses, twist
ed; for poultry, netting. Netting is
made of nearly all widths and for all
purposes. A machine is now on the
market which weaves wires of to ~
strands, and crosses wires to add
strength. Such fence is horse high,
bull strong and hog tight.-Farm and

Changes in Cattle Raising.

The business of rearing cattle is inn

This is gratifying inmore ways than
one. The awful suffering of range cattle
drifting before the merciless blizzard
till stopped by a wire fence, and then
riling up there to freeze to death, will
not be heard of. and the sleek. well-fed
steer of better system will take his
place and furnish better beef to the
consumer.-Western Rural.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Whole wheat is one of the best grains
for poultry.
Hens that are kept busy scratching
rarely contract vices.
Wheat is rich in material for growth
and stimulates egg production.
Fowls should be kept from food ten
or twelve hours before killing.
For fattening fowls cooked food is
better than raw, for the reason that it
is more easily digested.
Buckwheat is good winter feed. 1t
is valuable as an egg producer and will
keep fowls in good condition.
On many farms geese could be raised
to good advantage. Besides yielding a
regular income in the way of feathers.
they are profitable market fowl.
In breeding and raising poultry, es-
pecially for market, size should always
be considered. Fowls are usually SOLD
by weight.
The egg market never gets over
stocked for very long at time. Good,
fresh, clean stock rarely waits long for
a buyer. So the poultry business can
not be said to be overdone.
If not keeping a pure breed of fowls
be sure to get pure-bred ROSTERS to
cross on the hens. In this way the stock
can be improved and graded up at a
less cost than in any other way.
Keep the old hens that you know are
good mothers, especially if the young
chickens are to be raised by them. A
hen that is a good mother and good
forager is too valuable to be sold.
One of the most important items nec-
essary to insure success in the Matching
of chickens during the winter. especial
ly for early broilers, is to procure the
eggs from a flock of healthy, vigorous
fowls
Good care, warm, clean quarters,
pure water and the right kind of food
will make the hens lay right along.
Warm cooked food is always a help in
egg laying, and in this the table scraps
can be used to good advantage.-St.

Comparison of Corn and Wheat.


The percentage of fat in corn is stated
to be 5.4 in the statement giving the
averages composition of American feed
ing stuffs as compiled by Messrs. Jen-
kins and Winton. This embraces all
varieties and analyses that could be OBJ
tanned. The same authority gives the
fat composition of wheat, all compiled
analyses and varieties, to be 81 per
cent. Taking these percentages as a
basis, bushel of corn consisting of Sc
pounds will contain go pounds of fat,
while a bushel of wheat of 60 pounds
would have 3.5 pounds of fat. These
statements do not include all of the
fat-forming food, but it will represent
fairly the position of the two foods in
fat-forniing material, as the amount
of nitrogen free-extract in both of theni
is practically the same.

GOSSIP Is ABUSED.
Neiehborly Matters That May BE Pleas

Neighb0rly Matters That May Be Pleas
antIy Discussed.
The good old word gossip" has been
badly abused in the changes incident to
the progress of the language. It orig
inally meant the interchange of light
talk on subjects of neighborly interest,
which even in the present day and
among all sorts and conditions of peo-
pie will remain as interesting matter
for conversation as any other. The
trouble with the word gossip is that it
is now understood to refer almost en-
tirely to ill-natured and malicious scam
dals about neighbors. And with such
an Interpretation it should deserve the
,lnstinted reprobation of all.
When a neighbor gets reputation for
going around and insinuating all kinds
of unpleasant things about all the other
neighbors, making indirect references
to things of which she would not speak
out in plain terms, and always yelling
her meaning by an air of regret and q
pretense of sincerely, she becomes more
dangerous that snake, and she would
be avoided with exactly the same sense
of loathing that snakes are usually
avoided. The listener should always
remember that the same gossiper will
be very likely to speak in almost the
same terms of her, should she be able to
find listener, and should, therefore,
if only as a matter of self-protection,
iliscountenance and dismiss her in an
unmistakable manner. Thus chiefly
may the gossip be rooted out. A league
to discourage gossips should be formed
in every little community. 1t would
probably be an uncertain kind of asso-
citation for awhile, because, strange as
it may seem, there are many gossips
of even the most bitter character who
do not recognize themselves as such,
and who would in all honesty hold the
character of malicious talebearer and
scandal-monger as one of the worst
in the world. One of the difficulties OF
eradicating this evil is this fact, but.a
lesson or two in a league or association
would be very sure to turn their eyes
in upon themselves and produce an
amazing revelation in many cases.
There is gossip and gossip. Some Of
the news Of the neighborhood as retold
by many ladies is a revelation of kindly
hearts and of Unborn sense of the sweet
ness and civility that many people have
affirmed goes with gentle birth. All the
pretty things are told with pretty COM
ments. If there are unhappy things to
tell there are kindly and womanly ways
of putting them, and usually some sug-
gestions made to relieve them. These
are the happy gossips, but misfortune
is that the line cannot be sharply and
