The British dealer cares not where
he buys his horses so long as he can get
those which the buyers want. And,
moreover, if this stylish lot of trotters
should be favorably recognized, the
American national horse will have a
new field. Heretofore trotters have
found no great favor in England, but
their merits have never yet been ex-

ceived they will open up trade that
will put hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in our breeders pockets during the
years to come.

AGRICULTURE.

The man who sticks to raising first
class cattle and hogs, and does it with
good Judgment. will find it reasonably
profitable.
An Iowa swine breeder says that
pig that has recovered from a genuine
attack of thumps is about worthless
for breeding purposes.
The New York Experiment Station
has been making some practical tests
with COWS, as to the amount Of water
they drink. IJ was found that during
lactation, or the milk giving period, the
average per month was l, $50 pounds.
If the pasture is scant it can be made
go further by herding and allowing
Ele stock to eat down portion Of the
neld at the time. Even with hogs and
sheep this plan can be followed with
out much extra labor. Moveable fences
sometimes meet the purpose.

inches square, open at both ends, should
be properly fitted in the inch above
flooring, thus giving ventilation, to be
regulated to suit.
After the trays have been properly
filled with fruit, fire should be started in
the furnace and kept burning contin-
ually until the fruit be dried. The
heat should be kept at about lao de-
grees, thermometer being so placed
OF the inside as to be readily seen from
the outside. If the fire die down before
the drying is completed, the fruit will
become damp and turn dark.

GRASS FOR WORK HORSES.

L G. Greene in Ra4roz Life, says he
has recently read in four different
papers to not give the work horses
grass, and many seemingly good rea--
sons set forth substantiating the argu-
ment, the main one being that they
would not stand the work 80 well that
a little watery grass impaired the di-
gestion, destroyed the appetite, weak
ened the system, all of which was a
great detriment to their general useful
ness, All this may look we'll on paper,
and to some It may their ideal way of
taking care of horses.
Now, for me, l want the horses to-
have some grass; not q full ration, for
it may be carried to an extreme either
way. But as soon as grass starts
want the horses to have little. They
enjoy the open air, a run and roll, not
on grass, but in the dirtiest place they
can find, and this is as nature intended,
it should be, as it is their way of free
ing the body of any parasites that
might infest them. 1t is good for their
feet. Then they like little taste Of
dirt oftener than they get it if not
turned loose, and with small pasture
near the barn watching the horses en-
Joy themselves a little is worth all the
trouble of turning out and getting in
again.
How would the man like it to have
some one say. Here, you're working
hard, confne your diet to bread, meat
and potatoes, and any toothsome deli
cacies in the shape Of pie, cake or sauce,
must be left alone"
When a horse has a regular grain
ration of the right kind and what hay
they need en- unable to consider grass
harmful, but on the contrary think it
| beneficial. Here is one farmer that,
turns his horses out Saturday night.
There they stay till Monday morning.
His horses are always thin III flesh. He
lays it to the grass, but says he can't
bother with them on Sunday. Here is
another farmer who has hay enoughto to
last the horses moons till hay comes
again. The grain consists OF dry corn.
The horses are turned out nights,
| through necessity on account of scarcity
of hay. His horses are thin. He lays
it to the grass, but I think they would
not be so if they had plenty of hay.
My horses are fed ground grain
mixed in this proportion: Oats one
bushel, wheat one quart, corn two
quarts. They are fed six quarts each
per day after it is ground and what
hay they want, though they do not eat
much hay, and if at work turn them
out a little while in the evening, and
idle days they are out part of the time
They are fat and healthy always feel

kept so. Always keep ground feed
fresh. Grind once and sometimes
twice a week and have it fresh all the

Progressive husbandry" is by no
means a meaningless phrase, a hobby
of the theorist and of no practicability
to the farmer himself. By the inven-
tion of the butter extractor alone we
get rid of every old fashioned imple
ment and utensil bUtween the milk pail
and the butter package, and are re-
lieved of a vast amount of labor and
trouble to say nothing of the anxiety.

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

Keep your trees headed in, that is,
keep them from spreading out so that
the limbs when full Of fruit will be
weighted down to the ground. This
can be done with little work it com
menced at the proper time of setting
and carefully looked after.
We all ought to encourage our young
men, and boys espe cially, to learn as
much as possible the s;ience of horti-
culture. Fruit is almost as necessary
part of our food as bread. The teach
ers in our schools ought to impre So
these great truths as much as possible.
One of the most fatal mistakes of
our race is our disregard and contempt
for little things. We all want to do
something great. We wish and long
for large possessions, and to carry on
business extensively. Many, if they
can't have large farm or a large
orchard, won't have any.
But wherein is fruit growing the poor
mans forte2 In the fact that it does
not necessarily require large amount
of capital to engage in the business; a
very few acres of cheap land will do to
commence on, which, if planted in
small fruits and we'll cared for, will
soon yield enough to live on, and if
continued, will pay for good farm.
The soil for the blackberry should be
deep, moderately rich, with a porous
subsoil, although it will grow on almost
any well drained land A north or
northwest slope is preferable, except
for early kinds, which should be planted
on an east slope, to hasten ripening of
the fruit. The land selected for black
berries should have clean cultivation
the season previous to setting the
plants.
The blackberry rt quires good soil, but
it need not be so rich as for the rasp-
berry. The ground should be prepared
in the same manner as for the rasp-
berry, and the mode OF setting the
same, except that the rows should be
eight feet apart. The cultivation should
be the same as for the ras sQberry. After
the fist year the young canes should
be pinched back to within three feet of
the ground, and this practice kept up
from year to year.

BEES AS FERTILIZERS OF FRUIT

When the peach is grown in glass
houses and forced by artificial heat out
of its season, it is nece ssary to pollenize
the stigma Of each flower by artificial
means either by a small brush or some
other process The use of the brush is
expensive and tedious and is not always
successful; much of the fruit dropping
at the stoning period. To save labor
in transferring the pollen some trees
were sprayed when in full bloom with
warm and others with cold water.
This proved very unsatisfactory, more
fruit dropping at the stoning period
than in the case OF trees pollenized
with the brush.
AS a further experiment hive of
bees was placed in the house when the
trees began to bloom. This was in No
vember and heavy fog prevailed for
Is days and although the flowers were
constantly opening not bee showed
itself. During the night of Nov. 18th,
the fog lifted and the next morning
was bright and clear, causing the pollen
to burst. Then the bees came from the
hive and kept up their work for 8 or
days. The result was that not single
peach was observed to drop at the
stoning season. So great was the guam
tity of fruit it was necessary to thin it
out. One tree in the house was secure
ly protected, SO that bees could not
gain access to it and all of the fruit
dropped at the stroning period. These
facts show the value of bees to the hor-
ticulturist and no fruit grower should
be without them Bulletin 81. Oregon

Do not overlook buckwheat as sum-
mer crop. 1t grows on poor land, but

time when they can find but few
honey producing plants on which to
work.

AMERICAN HORSES FOR LoNDor

An experiment in the expectation of
horses is about to be made that will be
watched with great interest by breed
ers and trotters.
A we'll known dealer has avowed his
intention of gathering together and ex
porting to London, England, no less
than fifty fine roadsters, thirty of
which will be matched in pairs, and
several Of these pairs will be able to
trot to pole in 2.25 or better.
The dealer in question recognizes
that he has set himself colossal task
to collect such large band of road
sters that will conform to the standard
he has SET
Each animal must be of some solid
color, bay, bro En or dark chestnut,
fifteen hands and three-quarters over,
and not one will have a record slower
than $50 To yield fifty horses meet
ing these requirements the trotters'
ranks will have TO be ransacked to the
uttermost, for while allowing that they
might be easily found, it is certain that
comparatively few will be offered at a
dealing price.
Great attention will be paid to pur-
chasing only tho possessing the sort
of action favored in Britain, and it is
conceded that this action is not gen
orally associated with even 2:25 speed.
However. be the difficulties what they
may, the fact remains that the effort
will bemade to buy such lot of horses
and place them on the London market.
1t is certain that they will create
something of a sensation in horse deal
ing circles in that colossal and ancient

LIVE STOCK.

An acre of good blue grass pasture,
it is claimed, will support a I, 900 pound
steer.
Treat the broc d SOW literally, for she
is either feeding litter or growing a
litter
The hog never knows when it has
enough. The feeder must be the judge
or overfeeding will result.
Add one pound of we'll cooked oil
meal to every 100 pounds of butter
milk when buttermilk is fed swine in
large quantities.
If we have more land than we need
the stock and crops will have to pay
interest on a larger amount Of capital
than they need to.
1t is said that it is possible to raise a
thousand pounds of pork from an acre
of clover. In no other way could a
clover field produce like value, but
even better results will follow if small
ration Of corn is fed, however flu N the
clover pasture. The corn is needed to
sustain and solidify the Fl sh of the
animal.

THE APPLE CROP IN M ssoUR1.

Our apple crop promises one of the
best that the State has ever produced.
From the Iowa line to the Arkansas
and from the Mississippi river to the
Kansas State line, the report comes
continually that wherever the orchard
was not too full last year, and wher-
ever the trees have been taken care of,
the crop will be good. What this means
to Missouri you can hardly appreciate
until YOU see the millions of money it
will bring to our State. In some in
stances the hail has done damage; in
other instances there has been some
injury by late frosts; but the injury is
local only and the damage not severe.
The south part of our State will make
a wonderful showing this year if moth
intervenes, and look for a great ex
tension of our orchards during the
next few years Cultivation and care
show conclusively that they will pay
in the growth of the tree, in health of
the leaves, in the vigor of the bloom,
in the size of the fruit, and in the
money return the crop will bring. AL
ready buyers are seeking to locate our
largest apple orchards and making
bids for them. The crop will be light
in the East, and prospect is good for
fair prices. Secretary State HorticWL

Bitter milk comes from bad feed
The rag weed which follows a crop of
rye or oats, dog fennel, bitter weed and
the like, although but little may be
eaten, will often impart bitter flavor
to the milk of COWS pastured in such a
field. Even this trouble can be over

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.
The Great Piano Sale Must
Wind Up This Week.
YOU CAN SAVE $500 IN Cash.
If You Neglect This Opportunity
You Will Regret 1t in
the Future.

Some people are skeptical and always
will be. They do not think or investigate.
Is it not true that no reasonable amount
OF money can be spent for the home that
will add so much to its happiness, or that
will do so much to refine and culture our
selves and our children, as the money
spent for piano or organ?
| But the expense, when sold in the usual
way. places it eyond the average well-to-
| do family.
! You now have an opportunity to get it
IN an unusual way, at something over
half the usual price.
Many families have already improved
the opportunity and secured piano
which otherwise they could not have had.
The immense stock of pianos and organs
we are selling at Hammers music store,
$50 j street, is the newest, finest and best
that ever came TO this city, and we chal
lenge any man in or out of the business
| to disapproye this statement.
Better organs than have been selling in
this city for Sl30 we are selling for So 80
with elegant stool; pianos proportionately
low. Many of your leading musicians
have tested these instruments and pro-
nounce them among the finest they ever
saw. We ask the Intelligent people of
Sacramento to investigate, and know that
eEeTy slaleulSuL we make is true.
First-That the Kimball piano and
organ factories are the largest in the
world.
Second-That we are turning out an
average of thirty finished pianos and sixty
organs every working day of the week.
Ihird-That we are always two to five
hundred pianos behind orders.
All these truths attest the great fact that
the Kim ball piano is by far the most pop
ular piano in the history of the world
The artists, the critics and the interna-
tional jury of the Worlds Fair all unite
IN declaring THAT THEY ARE THE BEST.
This sale viii close this week. Improve
the opportunity and get first class piano
at little over one-half, and an organ at
less than halt what it will cost you when
this sale is over; and get a guarantee with
1t that is backed up by three millions of
dollars. Investigate this, act on it and be
happy.
Store open evenings until o'clock.
