THE MODERN FARMER.
His Lot Is Not as Hard as Was That
His Graudfather.

His Lot Is Not as Hard as Was That OF
His Grandfather.
Most young men in choosing a life
business would rather select an occupa-
ton which requires only little phys
ical effort That is one reason why
young men from the country over
crowd the cities For clerkship which
enables them to wear fine clothes and
see the glare of city life they leave a
good home and more comforts than
they can possibly compass by the
meager salary for which they work;
provided, always, that they are so for
tunate as to secure situation.
On looking at the variety and perfec-
ton of labor-saving farm machinery
it seems to me only about half needs to
be done by hard hand labor which was
necessary 25 or 80 years ago. To per-
son who can appreciate, and therefore
value and admire, all the various plows,
harrows, potato diggers. threshing ma
chimes, with a band-cutter and feeding
attachments, or a tanning mill, which
separates oats from spring wheat; a
self-binding reaper, a strawstacker, a
hay tedder, a hay loader and. pitcher
and the thousand and one labor-saving
machines; including corn planters and
corn cultivators, seeders of all sorts for
wheat, oats, grass and haNseed, ETC., it
would seem that but little hard work
was left to be done by hand. Old
men from other walks of life on seeing
all these implements are heard to ex-
claim: 'sOh! that 1 were a young man
now, with 80 or 100 acres of land; how
would like to farm it! I tell you my
tools would not rot out in the fields
where last used; my granary and cribs
should show even last years grains and
corn; my barn and stacks should burst
out with hay, fodder and comfort for
my family and live stock. The best

APPLES FOR COWS.

They Have All the Properties Which
Make Linseed So Valuable.
Apples are abundant this year, and
in many cases it is an open question
whether it will pay to ship them. We
would advise that only the very best
quality be shipped and the rest be fed
to the cows. Where markets are so de-
pressed as at this time it often happens
that common stock will not pay any
profit at all, while really choice fruit
will bring fair price. If, therefore, we
ship only the best we have better
chance of making something on our ap-
piles, and at the same time have a lot Of
good feed for the cows, or, in fact. al
most any kind of stock.
Begin gradually, as should be done
with any new kind of feed, and work
up until you reach the desired limit,
which will be found to be about ten
pounds per day for a cow. Apples con-
tain a greater proportion of carbo-
hydrates to protein than most feeds;
consequently they need to be supple
mented by some feed rich in protein,
such as linseed meal or bran, and in this
case we would prefer the bran, as the
al properties that make the linseed val
VA BILE.
If it is possible the apples should be
run through a root cutter, there is
danger of the cows choking themselves.
This danger is, we think, rather remote,
as we have seen lots of apples eaten by
cows, and have yet to see the first COW
choke.-National Stockman.
