REAR CALVES FROM ONLY THE
BEST OWS

Where a number of COWS are MIXED
it will always be noticed that some one
is the best of the lot as to the amount
of milk produced, or the length of
profitable flow, or perhaps in prOduc-
tion of butter. A farmer can probably
point out the best COW in the herd, but
if he were asked to point her descend
ants among the young stock, they
might be found few and far below in
appearance what might be expected
from the dam or grand dam. Further
inquiry might bring out the informa-
ton that no male was kept for service
on the farm. Also that no good sire
could be procured, or that it was too
far, or the service fee was too high
where q desirable sire was kept. This
is a short-sighted policy, and one which
the progressive farmer will avoid.
Don't use the nearest scrub when time
is pressing, but keep a male in your
own barn, selected especially to supply
the kind of animals you want to have
ard such as you a take pride in
showing your friends. The best way
is to ~patronize the best sires within
reach, and go with cash IN hand.
All calves from the poorest COWS
should be killed at once and may be
fed out to fowls. Unless you have a
surplus of milk and cannot make a
good use of il in some other way, do
not grow up veal calves. Where milk
will sell for a fair price the calf will
soon eat it's head off. Better sell it to
the hens for eggs and chicks.-F. b.

NOTE TO THE

have just returned from a.trip to
Norfolk, Va, and 1 find that it pays
the farmer when shipping beef cattle
to only ship those in first class order
smoothe, we'll ,fattened, stall fed cattle
and weighing 700 to 900 pounds. This
is the most desirable weight. There is
nothing that pays better than the extra
condition in which you can place your
cattle on the market. The market price
is low now, only 81 to 8 cts. lean ship
to Norfolk or Richmond, Va but very
little demand now and markets over
stocked. I wish also to say that our
brethren lose by sending very small
sized chickens to market. They
are hard to dispose of at a very
low price, while good, we'll grown
chickens are ready sale on a dull mar
ket at fair prices. Be ready for the
egg market which will open about the
1st of September next. Our Boston
house is anxious to handle eggs in car
load lots weekly. None but first class
eggs should be handled.

White House Flower Pots.

From eight to ten thousand pots are
required for use every year in the
White House conservatories, said Head
Gardener Pfister. This represents the
average annual loss by breakage In
spring we require thirty-fve thousand
or more thumb pots for young plants.
Flower pots.are Of two kinds machine.
made and handmade. The latter are
the most durable and the most expen-
sive. POtmakers are now obliged to
conform to the rules of the Society Of
American Florists: and a pot made in
Boston is precisely like 4 pot of the
same size made in any other city. The
new standard requires that two-inch
pot shall be two inches deep and two
inches wide at the top. The regulations
cover thickness of the rims Florists
demand that their pots shall have rims.
in order that they may be more easily
handled. Another point IS thar pots Of
the same size may be arranged with
greater regularity and with more con
venicnce on the benches. The small
pots made in molds, cost from three
dollars to eight dollars per thousand.
The siXteen-inch pots, which cost 30
cents apiece. are for large palms and
other big plants. Some very fine pots
are made near Washington. At Terra
Gotta are great beds of beautiful clay,
which furnish material not only for
pots but also for sewer pipes.

Matter for England.
England makes good use Of her mis-
siOnaries who are abused and killed.
II would not be surprising to see the re-
cent riot at Ku-cheng result in the ac-
QUESTION of Chinese territory by Great
Britain. She may observe that the
only way in which her missionaries
can be protected is by the extension OF
one Of the many forms of government
10y which the great colon:Zer SeizeS and

illustrates this in a few words A

grabbing in Africa.

"Everything's going on very we'll"
said a funny man of the company.

How dreadful" said lady.
'Regrettable in itself, but the first

funny man.
How true it is. Later in the same
book the suggestion is made that If
some of the traders would also be killed
England would then take control Of the

THIS CORN is KING.

Size of the Prevailing Kind.

The grains are extraordinarily

tanned. One Of them would probably
be excellent for canning. inasmuch "a
it contains an unusual percer age OF

still grows wild in Mexico. Each grain
on an ear of this primitive maize IS IN

that the earliest home of the maize
plant was the highlands OF central Mex
leo. The vegetable originated in a cir
cumscribed locality, above 400 feet
elevation, north of the Isthmus of Te
huantepec and south of the twenty-sec-
Ond degree of north latitude. near the
ancient seat of the Maya tribes. The
Mayas were the first to cultivate it.
and from them the use of ii spread
north and south. Probably corn was
known all along the RIO Grande by 200
A. ID. Three hundred years later it
had reached the coast of Maine. In
Peru the IncaS grew it before the year
700. The tOmbs of ancient Peruvians
are commonly sound to contain maize.
They built great irrigation works TO
help the cultivation of corn.-Si. Louis

very different character and appear
ance. The one was Il tall, thin Scotch
man; the other Il short, stout, thick set
Norman. The first time they met after
the capture of the city Pelissier rushed
up to the English general and embraced
him with great fevor, having almost
to climb up to reach his check The
English staff were amused at this dem
onstration, and said to Simpson, "Why,

was: We'll, it WAS Il great occasion,
