twenty years from now, except in collec-
ton of antiquities.
In the north and northwest milk costs
ABOUT an average Of seven cents a gallon
10 produce it, In the southwest II can be
produced at half that price. but 1t requires
good management to do 1t. Perpetual pas
turage Is at the bottom Of this possibility.
The popular idea that the age of a
horse can always be told by looking at his
teeth, said a veterinary surgeon, SIS not
entirely correct. After the eighth year
the horse has no more new teeth, so that
the tooth method is useless for telling
the age OF horse which is more than
eight years old. AS soon as the set of
teeth is complete. however, a wrinkle be-
gins TO appear on the upper edge of the
lower eyeid, and a new wrinkle is added
each year, so that to get at the age of a
morse more than years old you must
figure the teeth plus the wrinkles"
Few gardens have the opportunity to
show of what the soil is capable because
they are not kept free from weeds and
as well cultivated as they should be. This
work needs to be done at the start and
Kept up to the end. And indeed IL should
not stop until the weeds stop growing.
1t Is often the case with the garden as II
is with the fields, that when the crops
are thought to be safe the weeds are let
alone to grow and mature seeds. Thus
the land is stocked for years to come.
Five years Of perseverance in killing
weeds and preventing the seeding of them
and the field as well.
Catsup-Two bushels of tomatoes will
make hve gallons of catsup. after II Is
boiled down. Cook the tomatoes until
soft, rub through a sieve and boil briskly,
stirring to prevent burning. When 1t has
boiled nearly half away spice it, using one
cup sugar, one cup vinegar, one-half cup
salt; the spice put in to suit the taste
cayenne, cinnamon and light touch OF
cloves and allspiee, as too much makes it
dark and bitter. Many gallons have been
made after this recipe and sold. l have
never made the full amount 1t kept until
all was used. without souring. / make a
smaller quantity, dividing the salt, sugar,
vinegar and splicing to taste, but letting
some cool in a small dish. 1t is much bet
ter to try as it is always cool when used.

Mixed Mustard Pickles.-Slice one-half
peck green tomatoes, four heads of cab
bage, add one-half peck small onions, one
half peck cucumbers two inches long, one
teacupful salt and mix well. In twenty
four hours press and drain OFF the liquor.
| Cover with equal quantities of vinegar
and water for two days, then drain dry.
Stir through the mass one-halfu pound
white mustard seed, one ouncs celery
| seed, one-half ounce ground CHINA
mon, two ounces tumeric and four
tablespoonfuls ground pepper Pour
over one and one-half gallons boiling
vinegar. Drain this off two mornings,
heat and return. The third morning add
one pound sugar, heat and return. When
quite cold mix one-quarter pound ground
mustard wet with a little cold vinegar and
stir in.-Sarah E. Wilcox.
Farmers all have economical ideas, but
many of them don't know how to be
strictly economical Now, of all times, is
the time to be economical and economy
does not merely mean to do without some
thing, cut down expenses, etc, but also,
and largely so, to save. Wastefulness is
extravaganza; saving is economy Econo-
my is not to do without life's necessities,
either that luxuries may be enjoyed. Save
the many things wasted around the farm,
cut off the Injuries and work hard, think
hard and do lots of hard work; do the
work yourself, not delegating some one
else to do 1t for you. Keep this up, and
before a great while you will have learned
what economy is, and also the good of it,
Within the last twenty years, methods of
corn culture have changed very materially
says an exchange. Close study and OBJ
servation of the habits Of the plant has
finally taught US that the best results are
obtained by disturbing the roots as little
as possible, and to-day, instead of using
implements that prune the roots, we are
using those that disturb them as little as
possible Shallow working implements
have given by far the best results in late
years Experimental stations by compre-
hensive tests extending over several
years. have demonstrated that by shallow
cultivation the yield has been increase
considerably. Surface cultivation, when
land has previously been we'll plowed and
thoroughly narrowed, enables the plant to
obtain the necessary food from the soil
without further stirring except that neces-
sary to exterminate weeds and to conserve
moisture.
The Pure Breeds.-Those who have given
no attention to the pure breeds of fowls
do not know the advantages possessed by
them over scrubs. The breeds of fowls are
now classified, some excelling as egg pro-
ducers, some as market fowls, some as
producers of broiler, some for the table
some for beauty of plumage, and some for
hardness. No one breed possesses all the
requirement that constitute a perfect
breed, but each excels in some particular
characteristics. There is no breed def
cient in every respect, for IT has a char
acteristic merit that renders II dominant
in that direction. On the contrary, the
scrubs are alike, and uniformity in such
a flock Is impossible.
FIorida's Resources.-Orange growing
will never be considered as important m
Florida as 1t was before the loss of the
trees last year, as the people have learned
the important fact that other crops are
more certain and some more renumerative
than oranges. Before the freeze of 1896
many people thought it an impossibility
to exist in Florida without receipts from
orange groves. They have been taught
different by adversely and experience. A
good bearing orange grove is always de-
sirable, but II is no longer an actual ne
cesslty to comfortable living in Florida.
Protect Your Stock.-To protect stock
from mes TAKE al Oiu can, or better, a.
three pint pail, and fill two-thirds full of
half and half tallow and lard, melt it
and when nearly cool, add two tablespoon
fuls of crude carbolic acid and about the
same of paraffin oil. When cold apply to
horses or cattle with mop in spots over
the body. On stock about every other
day will do, on the horse whenever you
drive.
When to Feed Bran.-Bran is very rich
in phosphates, compared with other grain
foods, and there are times when 1t may be
fed with advantage. All foods containing
a large proportion of pnosphates also con-
tain lime phosphate Of lime) ana for grow
ing fowls and laying hens bran should be
used in preference to meal, corn, or other
grain; but for fattening fowls for market
it is not equal to corn or corn meal. AS
much of the food usually allowed hens Is
given without regard to its kind or quail
ity, quite a loss Is sometimes made by feed
ing that which is undesirable. while a
further loss IS sustained in the lack of pro-
duction. Foods cannot always be fairly
regulated or balanced, but when bran Is
allowed It will largely compensate for any
deficiency that may exist in the majority
of foods
