able to keep, where there is room.
They readily detect the approach of
strange animals or people, and give
the alarm quickly, by night or by
day.
After the number of geese is pro-
cured which it is desired to keep,
one of the best plans of management
is to keep the older ones and sell the
younger. The older geese are better
for laying, make better mothers,
and bring better price when
marketed. Geese can be kept for a
number of years in this way with
out change.
Young chickens are always safer
and stronger when made to betake
themselves to roost5 at nightfall, as
soon as they are able to look out for
number one. They find better air
and are out of the reach of destroy
ers. They were never healthier
than when compelled to take to the
trees for protection, in other days.
To prevent feather eating among
the fowls, take them when the habit
is first noticed and wash the plum
age with a solution of carbolic acid (.
Stir tablespoonful of the acid in Il
quart of water, and it is ready for
use. This will usually effect a cure,
and in no wise injure the plumage.
While a laying hen has an affec-
ton for a nest full of eggs, the sight
of which raises instincts of mater
nifty, there is danger that a full
clutch of eggs be left too long, even
if they be of the artificial variety
all the hens may be anxious to sit at
the same time; but the idea is one
which can often be acted upon with

Were the wives to do all the car

proceeds returned in such a way
that the husbands would have all

ter could be more easily convinced
of the profit of poultry on the farm.
Though it supplies his table with
groceries for the most part, he does

The city market is a good object
lesson for those who doubt the profit
in raising early lambs. From the
1st of February until May it is sell
dom supplied with all it will take,
and sometimes the scarcity causes
phenomenal prices.
Bee hives should be in an open,
airy place, but evergreens or other
shelter on the north and west often
make all the difference between life
and death. They do well placed
among lot of plum trees, because
OF the fruit and its time of ripening.
There never was a day when what
horses farmer can use to advant-
age were worth as much to him as
they are to-day. This is the era of
improved farm implements of all
kinds, and the best can be made out
of them only with the best of horse
power.
Good blood we must have, but the
art of feeding is at the bottom of
success with any kind of stock; with
cattle for beef or the dairy; with
sheep for mutton or for wool; with
hogs for the production of pork; and
that poultryman is failure who has
not found this out.
We should aim to produce such
stock as will bring buyers to us
some one always wants a good special
purpose horse, or an extra good
milch COW. Neither of these were
ever over plentiful. The fairly good
we ever have in abundance. There
are many, both in the city and
country, who will never have any
thing but the very best, at whatever
cost.
To grow two good lots of pigs a
year the farmer who owns four OF
five sows should possess a boar or a
controlling interest in one. 1t will
not do to depend on borrowing or
hiring. The male should always be
a good one and pure bred, and such
can not always be borrO owed nor
rented.

Dairy.


The greater number of stables
have no means of ventilation save
through cracks or the open door,
and this is against the adoption Of
the plan of unbroken winter confine-
ment. The warmer such stables are
the fouler the air. The daily turn
ing out of stock in such circum-
stances, even but for few minutes,
gives a change of air which is high
ly beneficial.
Do not ask your COW to give her
best results on 10 pounds of grain
feed day when she is capable of
eating and assimilating 20. Make a
study of her; know all her peculiari-
ties. If she has any whims try as
hard to please her as you do your
family in the house. Do not count
it costing too much labor to keep
her from the flies and hot sun this
summer.
To buy Just the COWS you want is
too expensive and hard to accom-
plish. Better raise them on the
farm. Procure the best mixers you
can for foundation, and then buy
the best full blooded butter sire you
can find. Let him be at least two
years old, and he will serve your
purpose for four or five years.
Avoid sudden changes in feeding,
but experiments with different feeds
and different combinations are al
ways in order. One wishes not only
to produce the largest product, but
to do so at the least cost. Some
times it will pay to sell the products

Capt. John Wilson, known as the

The Chicago Lumber and Coal Com
pany, of St. Louis, has contract with
the Yellow Pine Mill, at Lumberton,
Miss, for lO0,0O0,0OO feet of lumber
which would load 10000 cars. 1t is the
largest lumber purchase ever made in

and you will get about all an acre is
capable of yielding.
During the day the plant is gather
sources, and during the night this
material is assimilated into plant
life. It is curious fact that plants
grow much more in the night than.
by day, as can be proved at any time
by measurement; but this seems to
be the rule with all life; even child
rem grow most by night.
Farming is a more comprehensive
thing than merely looking after the
crop in hand. The relation of the
crop to the stored fertility in the
land is quite as important question
as is the amount of that crop and its
value in the market. Plan for the
crops, and look ahead to the effect
of such upon the field it occupies.
If you have never grown a crop of
potatoes under intensive culture,
make a special study of the subject,
and determine to grow good crop
upon at least an acre. Both the
crop and the experience will be
profitable. 1t Is not easy to avoid a
profit when one grows POO or more
bushels to the acre.
Your wagon shows special results
of wear and tear during the past
winter, because in cold weather it is
so easy to neglect such things as
greasing the axles. Many little
things are thus neglected in winter,
but the necessity for them is as
great as in warm weather. 1t is
well to endure little discomfort
and take care Of ones possessions.
Plenty of clover will go long
way toward making a farm profit
able. Think how many ways it can
be utilized-for pasture, for hay, for
feeding the stock or feeding the land,
sometimes serving the double pur-
pose of feeding the stock and then
going back to the soil in the ma
nurial product. Fear not raising too
much; it will always find market.

ENCOURAGING "SIGNS OF THE
TIMES"

At the annual dinner of the "Church
Association for the Advancement of the
Interests of Labor held in, New York in
the 5th inst, Bishop Potter gave utterance
to these refersh:ngly candid remarks:
"Organized labor is regarded by intel
ligent people as constant menace to soci-
ETY., but the number who so regard it is
happily decreasing. l have had the honor
to act as umpire in four important strikes.
and If | were asked to say which side was
distinguished by the better manners, I
should unhesitatingly declare in favor of
the laboring men. I have listened to both
sides, and 1 thank God for the singular
dignity with which the workmen listened
to the arguments Of their opponents
DR.. VIM. S. Rainsford was equally out
spoken in his remarks upon a kindred sub
ject. He said:
"No stability is possible as long as the
unrightful use of money is endured in
this country. Democracy is an expert
ment. We are proud Of the baby. but vet
it isn't man. 1t is far from important
how man makes his money than how he
spends it, and we want more men in this
country who are careful of the manner in
which they acquire their wealth. The the
ory that man who makes thousand Of
his fellow creatures suffer during his life
is deserving of praise so long as he leaves
a million to found library, is rotten rot"
Coming from such sources, these senti-
ments may be regarded as important in
dications of the healthy progress of re-
form ideas.-N. Y. Commonwealth.
