ton of the year, and is frequently in
jured By being grazed ut u time when
cravings are most needed; while blue
grass does not come forward rapidly
enough for rotation crop. Nothing.
however, could be better adapted for a
rotation pasture crop than orchard
grass and red clover. Each is very
palatable and nutritious. yields largely,
and stands severe drouths exceedingly
well, while both come forward quickly
and make good hay, and as they ripen
at the same time. are well adapted for
being mixed. If it is desirable to cut
the first crop for hay, orchard grass
will come forward and be ready for
grazing quite as soon after cutting as
clover; but clover, taking as it does its
chief substance from the atmosphere,
and for other reasons, is the best fer
tilizer.
If the foregoing statements are sub
stantially correct. the average Western
farmer cultivatcs four acres for the
grain he may have from three at no
greater cost per acre, and also loses
the profit available from the fourth
acre while in pasture. In other words.
he makes less than seventy-five cents
when with the same labor he might
make 81.
To prove in detail the advantages to
be ca ned through devoting more land
to grazing, many of which are obvi-
Gus, would require more time and
space than is ut my command, and for
practical purposes is quite unnecessary,
for let any farmer look over his own
county and he will find that rs n rule
the most successful farmers, large or
small, are those who have the most
good pasture and meadow, and that
they are men who grow good stock as
well as good crops of grain. When an
exception occurs to the rule it can be
traced to some special reason outside
of the general rule
In Central New York and in consid-
cradle districts of Ohio, also in many
smaller localities in the other States
named, this or a similar system of
rotation in connection with stock-grow-
ing has been adopted, and when once
tried is seldom abandoned by individ-
uals and never BY communities.
1t makes but little difference what
kind of stock a man grows, whether
horses, cattle. sheep, or swine. so long
as he selects the best breeds and feeds
well. Good stock always pays; but a
man must be pretty well off before he
can afford to grow scrubs of any kind

Where She Learned II.

Dramatic Critic-I can't imagine
how you can appear to be carried
away with your part when according to
your own admission you do not feel a
word of it.
Great Actress-I became proficient in
that art by long course of training
before went on the stage.

Raising Horses on the Farm.

Raising colts for market ought to be
one of the sources of farm profts-one
of the perquisites of farmers as eggs
and butter should be the perquis ties of
the farmers wife. 1t is not expected
that the ordinary farmer is to be
fancy breeder, nor, indeed, a breeder
of what is called blooded stock. But
he should have an eye to the fitness of
things, and endcavor to breed good,
useful GRADES. He should have some
idea of what sort of II colt his mare is
calculated to breed, and seek sire ac-
cordingly.' In this way, if he can not
breed the highest priced stock, he can
ut least secure Il good, useful animal
that will pay for its rearing and keep.
A few dollars for service of the right
kind is rs likely to result in several
dollars value in the colt as good seed is
to bring forth paying crop in the field
over one from poor seed, or seed of a
poor kind. There is no prospect of
profit in breeding from an inferior sire
because his services can be had for
small cost. As well expect a good har-
vest of field corn from planting pop
corn seed, as to expect valuable colt
from an inferior sire 1t is perhaps not
worth while to waste expensive service
on a scrub mare, but if mare is worth
breeding from at all, it will pay to Sc
cure service that gives some prospect
of value in the offspring. Something
never comes of nothing. Neither will
colt of value come from coupling a
worthless mare with worthless horse.
Like begets like; and scrub colts are a
poor Northumberland Farmer.

Don't Deceive Children.

The welfare of all babies would be
greatly advanced if they were regarded
more frequently in the light of real
people-of individuals. Babies OF
eighteen months are qnitc capable
of forming an opinion in regard tc
their nurses and mothers, and one must
be hardened indeed not to feel the
close scrutiny of those clear eyes tina,
have as vet been troubled by no guile
from within. We ought not to deceive
the smallest child, and should begir
right, in this respect from babyhood

Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1895-02-23

Liebig says, 1.-The use of spirits is
not the cause but an effect Of poverty.
The craving for stimulants in children
as shown by the desire for tea and coffee
often comes from the same source-that
is, lack of a sufficient amount of the
right kind Of food. When laborer
earns by his work less than is required
to provide the amount or kind Of food
which is indispensable in order to re-
store fully his working power, an I'M
yielding, memorable law of necessity
compels him to have recourse 70 spirits.
He must work, but in consequence Of
insufficient food a certain portion of
his working power is daily wasting.
Spirits by their action upon the nerves
enable him to make up the deficient
power at the expense of his body, to con-
sumo today that quantity which ought
naturally to have been employed a day
later. Table Talk.
Evening capital. (Annapolis, Md.) 1884-1910, 1895-02-23

that Of the Hudson river is larger. for
its icekouse capacity is 3, 500, 600 tons,
or more than l. $50, 900 in excess. 1t is
doubtful. however. if the amount of in
vested capital is as large in proportion
TO storage, because the vast markets of
New York and its neighborhood are so
accessible via the peerless river from
which the ice is cut. The consumption
of ice by the millions who dwell with
in 20 miles of the New York city hall
is probably greater in proportion than
that of any other similar population in
the world. but in spite Of this the most
extensive single plant is said to be at
Sheffield. near Chicago. and the inhab-
itants Of that great city and the imme-
diate vicinity consume probably almost
as much per capita as those of the region
at the Hudson's mouth.
Sheffield is just over the Indiana line,
and its ice supply is cut from sheet
of water known as VOLTS lake. Shelf
field has been very busy this winter,
and the ice has been much thicker than
usual. Icemen like best to cut when the
cakes are from l2 to ID inches thick, as
then cake weighs about 200 pounds
Every additional inch of thickness
means about 10 pounds additional
weight, and consumers dislike to pay
for more than 900 pounds in one cake.
Besides the heavier cakes are naturally
much harder to handle 1t takes $50
men to work the plant at Sheffield, and
about ESQ persons are required to cook
and care for the workmen, so that in
the season the population of the village
is not far from 1000. In the summer
time it is less than 100, for cutting,
storing and selling ice is the sole indus
try of the place.
In many respects Sheffield is unique.
Its buildings are, first, number OF
great wood colored icehouses; second,
three big boarding houses. occupied only
when ice is being cut, and, third, 10 or
90 little cottages, permanently occupied
by the families of the men employed the
year round about the big establishment.
Nowhere else is ice consumed so ex-
tensively as in the United Safes. Eng
lishmen hold up their hands in horror
at the American liking for cold drinks
and cold food in the summer and de-
clare that most cases of Yankee dyspep
sia are due to wha. John Bull calls an
unhealthy taste. And yet Brother Jona-
than manages to worry along and keep
in fairly good health, Notwithstanding
the fact that instead of consuming less
he gets away with more ice every
twelvemonth than he did the year be-
fore.
It's a rather interesting thing to watch
