WEIGHT OF CATTLE.

ginning Of the Century.

It Has steadny Increased Since the Be-
ginning of the Century.
In the beginning of the century about
TO close cattle were dressed at the
weight of 400 pounds net, or less. In
1880, as was stated by an historian and
statistician, they were killed at a weight
of $50 TO 500 pounds, at four years OF
age. In a few years from now the great
bony frame and bulky carcass of the
Texas steer will have disappeared, and
instead on these we will have the short
horns, the Angus and the Herefords, or
their grades.
1t Is surprising how early in life calves,
when raised by hand, will learn to eat,
or rather lick up. If calf is weaned
directly it has drawn the milk once or
twice after birth, and is taught to drink
milk from the pail, it has no further use
for its dam than to have her furnish at
first new milk, and, subsequently all
the skim milk 10 can assimilate. At
four weeks old it will lick salt, il taught,
and dry bran. At six weeks of age
handful of cornETeal may be added.
and so on until year old. OF course it

pasture grass it can consume. Raise all
your calves. At six weeks OF age geld
your males. One year on my farm had
a bakers dozen of calves. They drank
at proper age, all the milk in any shape,
and then they were fed half bushel
of corn and cob meal, and l never had q
finer lot TO turn out to pasture the next
spring. They were large and in fine con-
dition.
The American people eat much meat.
1t always was abundant; bu. either we
export too much, or we do not raise
enough, for in these days it is neither
cheap nor good. The mechanic and the
laborer cannot afford to buy much at
the prices at which it rctails; and yet
the quotations run from $3.50 to $500;
hence it should come to the consumer
at lower rate than it does at present.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

The Wisconsin station finds 100
pounds Of whey produces as much pork
as 13 cents worth of corn.
A sheep grower says thatwhen lambs
are tormented with ticks they will drop
down on the ground and try to bite their
flanks and bellies in the most frantic
fashion.
Prof Shaw, of the Minnesota ex-
pertinent station, cautions farmers to
grow peas on land that has clay sub
soil, and states that they will not thrive
on sandy soil.
The Vermont station kills potato bugs
with mixture OF one pound Paris
green to 100 pounds land plaster, all
costing IS cents, while 100 pounds patent
bug remedies cost five dollars and up.

Bulletin %, of the Wyoming station,
gives results of six years experiments
in growing wheat by irrigation. The
average cost was s7.75 per acre; average
profit, $i0.16 per acre, which is ten per
cent. on n valuation of 500 per acre,
20 per cent. on $50, or 40 per cent on S25
per acre. The advantages of irrigation
are an assured crop. n heavier yield,

THE wIcKEDNEss OF SLEEPING.
Some of the Notions Which Were Enter
tained Years Ago.

o
tained Years Ago.
That idea was almost dominant in re-
ligious society GO years ago, and some
times assumed forms which, II not
ridiculous, were at least quaint. 1t
was, for instance, held TO be wrong
for any but the aged to sit in easy
chairs, not, as is now vainly imagined,
from any ignorant idea as to the in
jury done to the figure, but because
'1olloping" betrayed a blameworthy
tendency to ease and self-indulgence.
That was the origin also of the extraor-
dinary prejudice against taking any
extra sleep. The old knew well that
sleep, when sleep is not needed, is to
the young the most wearisome of all
obedience, but nevertheless they be-
Ieyed that to wish to sleep more than
a strictly regulated time, which, ac-
cording to modern hygeists, was too
short, was mark of sluggish self-in-
diligence, and it was visited, therefore,
with moral reprobation.
Early rising was extravagantly
praised, not because it heightened the
day, for the early risers went TO bed
early, but because it was disagreeable;
nnd some curious rules of diet-for ex-
ample, abstinence from sugar-were
defended in part upon the same prin-
Ciple. We have known girls cut off
their curls avowedly because they were
proud of them, and men go about in
shabby clothes, because, as they
overred and believed, it was well by
diminishing comfort to promote Sc
rIous refection.-London Spectator.

PIGPEN POINTERS.


When SOW proves valuable as
breeder do not part with her as long an
she remains useful.
By keeping the pig pen literally sup
piled with dry earth, bad odors will be
prevented and the value of the manure
increased
So long as there is good pasturage IL
is rarely an economical plan to confine
the hogs in close pen, even when fat
tening for market.
When the pigs get to eating regularly,
care should be taken not to feed more
than they viii eat up clean, unless the
pens can be arranged so that the sows
can be let in TO eat up the leavings.
In selecting breeding sow or boar,
always choose one with long body,
wide back, and whose back and belly
or upper and under lines are straight
and parallel. Such are much more apt
TO prove desirable than a chunky one,
however smooth. - Colman's Rural

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED.
Three Types of AGrIculturists Found IN
the Western States.

Three Types of AgrIculturists Found In
the Western States.
Farmers are divided into three
classes: First, those who take up with
everything new in grains, vegetables
fruits and machinery Without stopping
to think or studying the der.ands OF
tA,.T I-7rltet, the possibilities of their
soil anu su-...c-iIcs of the climate.
Invariably they El..!.. lures. The sec
ond class are those W..y ..'cr buy or
produce anything new in the way OF
grains, etc, use the same implements
their fathers did, irrigate only when
the spirit moves them, let their cattle
run around the straw pile in winter.
feeding them a few nubbins; make all
their butter in the summer and use the
old dash churn. They are homely lik
ened to a cows tail, inasmuch as they
are always behind.
The third class are those who think,
study their market and soil, begin on a
small scale and experiment until the
problem is solved. If new fruit is
being advertised and trees sold at enor.
nous prices they buy but one and see
I
will not set out a peach orchard in
swamp or a cherry orchard on an al
luvial soil underlaid with gravel. This
class is the one that is making money
at farming-the other two are in the
background. One and two are both
bound for the same place, but seemingly
travelling in opposite directions.
One acts without thinking; the other
thinks without acting. One is extrava
giant In buying unnecessary things; the
other extravagant in not buying neces-
sary articles. One has no fixed method
of labor; the others method of labor
fixes him. These two classes are an
anomaly, and, as Lamartine said to
Robespierre, are ''shadowy, underlined
mixed" Not SO with those desig
mated as the third class. They have All
aim In farming, and as result have
well defined plan and combine brain
and muscle-theory and practice, know
the old way, but adopt the new
and are success. In the new agricul-
ture of the far west these farmers are
legion and are rapidly coming to the
front. They believe in the modern
theory of advancement as applied to ag-
riculture and are lettering their condi-
tion by working along these lines. The
methods of the past generations will
not do for them and they are reaching
out for the improved order of things
that mark the pathway of other men
who are great success in this world

Bent Time co Sell Hog

When TO sell hogs is n mooted ques'
tIon among farmers. One writer ad-
ylses TO sell hogs when the most money
can be got for them ut the least outlay.
The ups and downs of prices we cannot
control, but by careful attention to
feeding and the use of scales we can tell
closely whether we are making corn
into pork at profit or not, there ought
TO be n change of ration or an immediate
sale OF marketable stock. IL doesn't
pay To hold beyond the time of profta-
bic growth and fattening. Most sue
cessful feeders believe it pays best one
year with another TO sell the pork when
the highest point in grain has been
reached, letting the question Of profta-
bic high prices alone. Corn used In
keeping over fattened hogs will make
twice as much pork II given to other
animals. IL is n losing game TO hold for
nm increase of price as n rule. Make all
tho pork you can out of your corn In
Just as little time us possible and then
market TO the best advantage.-RuraI

is taken up by an immense silo, or

ing the greatest height for the accom-

under such barn, so that manure can
be dropped through the floor. If tho
cellar is not possible, the manure can
be wheeled out in car arranged to run

weeds I'm tho Farm Garden.

Few gardens have the opportunity
TO show of what the soil is capable, be-
cause they are not kept free from weeds
and as well cultivated IA they should
be. This work needs TO be done ut the
start and kept up TO the end. And In
deed 1t should not stop until the weeds
stop growing. 1t Is often the case with
the gnrden as It 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 perse-
verance in killing weeds and preventing
the seeding OF them will secure clean
ground in the garden, and the field as

BETTER SHEEP OUTLOOK.
We Have Now Moro Vigorous Stock Than
We Ever Had Before.

We Have Now Moro Vigorous stock Than
We Ever Had Before.
The low prices of wool and the use
of snoddy, with the introduction OF
large quantities of inferior wool from
Argentine and the British provinces,
have led the few sheep masters we have
left to turn their attention more to NUT
ton sheep than to those producing the
highest grades of wool. This tendency
to produce good mutton has led to the
selection of the best breeds for this
purpose, and TO the more careful prep
aration of lambs and mutton sheep for
the market.
The care of the flock and the kind
Of feed used have undergone a great
improvement, and the result is that
whilst wool growing has been unprofit-
able, we have n greatly improved class
of shepherds; and fine fed lambs and
mutton have never had such a sale in adj
the markets throughout the country, as
at the present time.
Besides, hocks have been culled, and
only the best of each kind have been
retained.
In this regeneration Of the herds we
have TO day more vigorous and healthy
stock OF sheep in all the sheep raising
regions than ever before.
This will be great gain in the coming
reinstatement of the sheep and his wool
to their proper place among the home
products.
Nothing is all evil; in this case we
have derived benefits from our misfor'
tune We will have better and health
Ter focks, better mutton, and more
mutton eaters in the future than ever
before.
The wise farmer will try to prepare
for what must soon come. Select the
best breeds, prepare the best feed, and
be ready to take the best possible care
of your hocks, and your increase vii
soon bring you your reward.-Farm

washIngton's ODD street Names.

In examining the directory, one can
not help but notice the confusion of
names of streets and alleys and courts.
For instance, there are four Pleasant
alleys in Washington, two Pleasant
streets and Pleasant Plains thrown in.
There are six Prospect streets, hills,
alleys and courts in various parts of the
town, and Prospect hills are as numer-
GUS out in the District as Fairview
school houses are out in Indiana.
Washington has six Washington high
ways, including the alleys of that
name. Coming down TO alleys alone,
there Is simplicity about the names
of them that is certainly refreshing.
While the people of Washington are
quarreling as TO whether the name Of
one of its streets is Stoughton or
Staughton, they have allowed some Of
the alleys to be named as follows: Pigs
foot alley, Cabbage alley, Louise alley,
Zigzag alley, Truck alley, Pig alley,
two of them; Cow alley, Fighting alley,
Bood alley. lineup alley and SO on

The entire iron work of the outfit

ton to the usefulness of the tool. Fig.

changed from one plow TO the other

as steady as n mud sled, keeping right
down to its work without any exer-
tion on the part of the driver. Its only
weak point was the side strain on the
shank, which, having only three-inch
bearing against the beam and n 2o-inch
leverage, was liable to he bent sidewise

They were attached at the upper end
by a bolt, one being on each side, and
about two feet apart, and slanting
brace made of wagon tire was bolted
to the shank about third of the way

and in a finished condition about seven
inches long, the back three inches be-

had been a prolonged drought, and it
was being used in an undrained, heavy
