the Government will expend a great
deal of money in building walls there,
and if poor people own that land and
cannot afford expensive fire proof

Rep. Winston-It is not the value of
the land, but the cost of erecting new
buildings. Land has decreased in value

moval Of the fishmarket.

Horses.

We have but about one horse to
four persons in the United States,
and very few of them suitable for
the market or city trade. Modern
inventions increase their use upon
the farm, and in the cities the calls
are continually increasing. With
the large export trade established
now, and with this rapidly growing
industrial demand, the question is,
where will the good horses come
from?
A fast walking team is always de-
sirable. If we are striving to have
such, there is much in the early
training. Put the colt by the side
of good brisk walker and require
him to keep his place without break
ing into a trot. He will soon know
what is wanted, and will act accord
ingly.
A colt should have no solid food
for the first three or four months.
There is nothing much better than a
mixture of oats and bran. Oil cake
meal is too fattening. Mixed hay is
better than clear timothy. The
sugar in cornstalks is thought to
produce worms, If fed too largely.
If oil cake is given, 1t should be in
alternate weeks.
If a horse is frightened, or If he be
sullen and angry, it is folly to try to
do anything with him until he has
been Gained. In a high state of ex-
element he does not comprehend
what is wanted, and it is useless,
worse than useless, to attempt to
beat the fright out of him.
A colt foaled strong and healthy is
sometimes infected or poisoned be-
fore it is week old by lying down
on filthy manure which is alive
with micrOscopical insect life, weak
ems and dies. Keep it on clean
grass, or, if in the stable, see that it
is bedded with clean straw.
Large size is the chief element of
strength in the draft horse; it be-
hOoves us to breed for size, and such
other good qualities as may be OBJ
tanned. Grade up our good mares
our very best-tO high class sires,
and the result will give US high class
horses which will bring high prices

Agriculture.

Idle ground gains nothing, and is
only place in which weeds may
revel. A bare soil loses nitrogen,
and that is where the error comes in
when advocating a bare fallow to
restore fertility.
Be wise. Turn the straw, hay and
fodder into manure by way of the
stable, whereby you may increase
your crops while getting a profit
from the stock. We grow nothing
absolutely valueless.
Science will not always tell the
whole story. The analysis of the
soil is hardly a positive guide by
which to crop it. A growing plant
may find food enough for its needs
where the chemist would find hard
ly trace.
Do not leave the sweet potatoes in
the ground after the vines are dead.
Wet weather will injure them sure
ly; and then a very little frost may
overtake them, running them for
sale.
Plants as well as animals require
food to make them grow. Even in
this day of better things there are
men who would be surprised to
learn that they had poor crops be-
cause they had starved them to
deaGh.

ness.
1t is far better to put extra work
upon ones own fields than to hire
out your 'spare time to your neigh
bors. Most of our work is too super
fetal at best. Extra tillage upor
our fields can be made to pay $40 q

The great disadvantage of the
single crop system is that one ha:
nothing to sell except at the time o.

1t is not the breeder who is re-
sponsible for the over fat condition
of all kinds of sires, but the buyer.
All are ready to admit that it is
wrong, but the fat animal sells best
despite the inconsistency. So long
as buyers demand fat breeding ami

they will get them.

Dairy.

By the Swedish method no time is
lost; no labor is required by the de-
luton process of separation, and all
the cream is saved. AS soon as the
milk is mixed with cold water the
separation goes on naturally while
the farmer is attending to other
duties.
1t may be valid objection against
the Jerseys that they do not give a
sufficient amount of milk to suit the
needs of the dairyman who sells
that article instead of making butter,
vet even he would find it an adj
vantage to have an occasional COW
of that breed, in order to give color
to the whole product.
The Wisconsin experiment station
in the past has declared that 100
pounds of sweet whey is worth seven
cents as a promoter of flesh and
health in calves, while sour whey is
not worth anything. If true, it is q
pointer worth something.
If one wants dairy cow to pay
for her board, other things being
equal, select a small animal. 1t re-
quires food to sustain large carcass
and food costs money every time.
To depend upon buying to re-
plenish the dairy is often turning il
into lottery. If you are a wise
dairyman and need more cows, and
want to be sure of procuring good
ones, raise them.
Ensilage and the winter dairy are
almost the complement of eacf
other. Do not get ready to run win
ter dairy and expect to make it pay
wholly upon dry food. That is no
the newer and better way.
If you are in the dairy business tt
stay there is more than one reason
for raising your own calves. YOU
can not only develop the best milk
ing strains in this way, but you cal
be sure of having quiet and gentle
cows.

Horticulture.


A young plant must have it's food
and drink the same as a young
animal. Each of the fine white
roots is a feeding mouth. With
care they grow; with neglect they
starve and die.
Marsh hay makes a good mulch
for strawberries, but any coarse
straw or little will do, but anything
is Objectionable which contains
seeds. The object is to prevent
thawing, and not freezing. If once
frozen, the frost should come out
gradually to avoid heaving.
1t is said that Spain began to de-
cay when she despoiled her noun
tains of timber; France suffered by
stripping her southern provinces to
pay the war debts of Napoleon.
China and India suffer from the
same cause. Nations once flourish
ed in Arizona and New Mexico
where this folly has been COM
mitted. 1t requires only little
special knowledge to succeed well
with most small fruits, and no man
is in better position to master this
knowledge and to make good use of
it on his own accout than is the
average farmer.
The planting of a tree, whether for
fruit, timber or ornament, increase
the value of the land. The value of
many farms could be almost doubled
in few years, at least in a genera
ton, by judicious tree planting.
Did you ever think of it that a
good apple tree was worth $50? In
any event, with wise cultivation and
good business management of the
crop, it will pay per cent. dividen d
on that amount year after year
with few exceptions.

sheep.

Do not weary of the precaution to
protect young lambs from the cold
and wet, for the result of exposure
will be weakened constitutions,
which will seriously interfere with
future profits.
The sheep is not in high favor just
now, but flock of them will enable
you to earn more money from a
given amount of land than will any
other stock requiring the same labor.
Dressed lamb sells for more cents
a pound and costs less to produce
than mutton. Consequently those
who are fitted for it find good
profit in growing lambs for the retail
market.
Never go upon the principle that a
sheep is sheep. A flock may bring
you riches or make you poor. De-
eide what you want. Shropshire
sheep have the size of the Leicester,
the form of the Southdown and a
fleece which is a combination of
both.
When the sheep industry revives
we shall give more attention to the
cultivation of root crops. Roots and
ensilage are both good winter food
for sheep, and with supply of these
the flock can be carried through un-
til spring at a minimum cost.
BY belling the sheep much annoy
ance from dogs is often avoided.
Let the bells be many-two or three
to every dozen Sheppard when
they run they will make so much
noise that the dogs will be intimi-
dated. The clatter will also draw
the attention of the owner, even in
the night.
The world is forming a greater
taste for mutton every year, and the
growing of mutton sheep will afford
profitable employment for every
acre of good grazing land in the
country. There is no use in per-
hitting it to lie idle when there is
such inducement to use it.

Linc0ln's Birthday.

There are very few people in our own
government who put Lincoln second
in the list of great Americans. Until
his time no one questioned the place
occupied by George Washington. 1t
is not profitable even now to discuss
this question of supremacy. 1t is
enough to know that the country pro-
duced both, needed both, was preserv-
ed by both and today loves and honors
the memory of both.
1t is fitting that the services to the
nation of these men should be COM
memOrated once year-and what
day so becoming as the date which
marks the birth of the illustrious bene-
factor?
By act of the legislature of this state
passed and approved one year ago to-
morrow the birthday of Abraham Lin
coin was declared henceforth to be q
legal holiday in the state of Washing
ton. Lincoln was born on the 18th
day of February, 1909. Let the day
be properly observed.

The PrODer Time

When the most benefit is to be derived
from good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the tired
body, weakened organs and nervous
system yearn for a building-up medi-
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many
wait for the open spring weather and,
in fact, delay giving attention to their
physical condition so long that a long
siege of sickness is inevitable. To rid
the system of the impurities accumu-
lated during the winter season, to
purify the blood and to invigorate the
whole system, there is nothing equal
to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't put it
off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla now.
It will do you good. Read the testi
monials published in behalf of Hoods
Sarsaparilla, all from reliable, grateful
people. They tell the story.

Washington Captures the Prizes.

East Sound captured the $50 first
prize offered by w. HI. Maule Of Phila-
delphia for the best red top white globe
turnip produced in the United States.
He also took the second prize of So
offered by Burpee of Philadelphia for
oat heads. Two years ago he got the
first-prize of $40 from a Rochester
house for the II largest and best Mag
gle Murphy potatoes raised in the
United States. Another evidence of

prize given by E. J. Bowen of this city
at the Douglas County Industrial Elk
position, held last October, for the
best quart of several varieties of garden
seeds, and for the best general display
of grains and vegetables grown by any
