owner, but farmers who have studied
their business closely have come to the
conclusion that late grazing is an injury
to the grass plants, and that frosted ma.
terial is of very little value for feeding
The statement will bear often repeat
ing that warm stables save food, and as
lumber is cheaper than fodder and hay
this warmth should be provided
wherever animals are kept. One of the
most important among the various pur-
poses which feed serves in the animal
economy is the maintenance of animal
heat and it is economy to preserve it by
outside means.
The farmer should not be disappoint.

Some benefit should result from the

likely to be much more apparent. The
advice to breed up" is always good, and
the improvement will come.
While parentage exerts marked in

liberal feeding. Even with low prices,
oily wise economy in feeding is the
slre road to profit. Feed should never be
saved at the expense of thrift in stock.
Stock raisers have the matter of prices
in their own hands to a greater degree
than any other class of farmers, for by
good selection and feeding they can pro-
duce just what the market wants.

With the horse power at command on

grains only after grinding. The cost Of

along this line is sure to teach any care

STOCK.

All farmers can not produce pure bred
stock of the highest excellence for
breeding but all farmers can and should
procure pure bred sires and grade up
all stock on the farm to the top market
prices for the best home and export
markets. Pure bred stock of all the
breeds has become 30 cheap and is SO
generally introduced throughout the
States that no farmer has an excuse for
breeding to anything but the best.
The introduction of commercial fer
tilizers and the discovery Of the value
of clover and various other crops have
not changed the general estimate of the
value of stable manures, but have en-
phasized the importance of keeping the
land in high state of fertility; in fact,
they have enlarged the demand for
farmyard riches.
Feed is cheap, and it must not be
thrown upon the market until it be-
comes glut. Turn the contents of the
bins over to good stock, and they will
give better account of it than we can
otherwise obtain. Breeding stock can
be had on terms to suit the times, and
let us prepare to build up the focks and
herds on a better foundation than ever
before.
A grade female bred to a thorough.
bred male of her own kind will usually
breed true to the male; but if bred to a
male of another breed. even though
thoroughbred, this prepotency of the
male is less certain. The result is al
most sure to be mongrel, inferior to
either of its parents. The good quail
ties of grade are valuable only in the
animal showing them.
Bees seldom rob other hives when the
honey can be obtained from flowers, and
they then attack only weak colonies.
The remedy lies in removing the honey
from the weak hive, to save it, and in
feeding the other bees. A colony so
weak as to submit to robbers is not worth
the trouble of trying to save it.
Millet is usually cut too ripe to make
good COW feed. though the horses like
the rich seed and will fatten upon it;
but this extra amount OF nutriment in
the seed does not compensate the COW
for the loss'of the succulent stalk. TIE
silo will preserve this succulence even
when the seed has fully ripened, and the
feed is richer and better for it.
The farmer who has obtained high
priced stock is sometimes tempted to
breed from it too young. 1t is natural
that he should want to make it remun-
erative as soon as possible, but until
animals are reasonably well developed
they are not in condition TO be profit
able as breeding stock.

control the wires were in possession OF
three private companies. During the
last year of private management $780,
600 messages were sent over all the
wires; under government control the
number has increased TO 100000 q
year, the number of telegraph Offices
have been multiplied threefolu, the
miles OF wire have been increased from
10000 to 100000. The tariff Of rates has
been reduced from time to time until
now, when 1919 cents is the rate for
twelve words to any part OF the United
Kingdom. The lines pay expenses. "As
managed by the British government"

Of the wisdom of state control Of the tel

OOO, 900 in 1894. That makes total OF
about 1915, 100000 in our favor for the
two years. All that balance was Off
set, however, by the necessity of pay
ing probably s2OO,OOO,O 900 to foreigners
as the return on capital invested in
this country, for freight charges on
merchandise shipped in foreign YES
sells, for insurance in foreign compa-
MES, and for other similar obligations.
Then there must be taken into &C
count the spending of 10000, 900 a
year, or some such sum, by Americans
travelling in foreign lands, all of which
has to come from this country. When
these facts are all considered, gold eX-
ports, in the face of merchandise bal
ances in our favor, become quite easy
to understand. What we get for our
gold is the payment of part of our
debts to Europe"
Nothing better illustrates the drain
that would be enforced upon this
country by an era of free trade, which
would greatly enlarge our imports,
and at the same time produce no ma
terial increase to our exports. In
fact, under the present tariff law,
which is stated by it's sponsors to be
but step toward free trade, the ill
effect of such a policy is being felt.
Our imports are being enlarged, but
our exports, instead of growing as the
sanguine free traders predicted, ale
gradually shrinking. What we want
is an economic policy that will re-
verse this, and such policy is protec-
tion. Under that policy, while OF
course our volume Of imports kept
increasing as the wants of the country
grew, they were in line which did
not seriously conflict with our indus
tries, and our exports more than kept
pace with them.
Then a policy is wanted which will
encourage American shipping. Such
a policy was inaugurated during the
Harrison administration, and good re-
suits have come from the limited
manner in which it has been handled,
but it receives slight encouragement
at the hands of the present admins
tration. The proper management of
these two policies and
ship building-would tend to lessen
the amount of wealth which we an
nually send abroad for the purposes
referred to by the Times.
