AMERICAN AGRICULTURE.
According to b. F. Clayton It Is the
Source of Our Wealth.

According to b. F. Clayton 1t Is the
Source of Our wealth.
The civilized world stands amazed at
the vast Accommodations of the American
people, and the query from home and
abroad is from whence it came, and
what is it's true source? We answer
that our success is due to two agencies,
both of which the American people pos
sess in the highest degree, namely.
labor and its intelligent application to
the richest natural resources of any
country. In the consideration of the
true source of our national wealth we
must combine these two elements as
one and inseparable. Man must furnish
labor and nature must furnish all the
material upon which labor is expended.
Our labor has always been of the high
est type, from the fact that the people
Of the United States are the remote, III
not the direct, descendants of repre-
sentative foreign element that had
learned to think for itself, and when de-
barred from acting for itself, to seek a
country of equal social and political
rights where it could plant the banner
of the largest freedom and where it
could enjoy to the fullest extent the
fruits of it's own labor.
Our population is made up 81 an en-
ergetic class that is willing to leave
the scenes of childhood, the home of
youth, the mother tongue and native
land to cast their fortunes with Il
strange people. The American citizen.
whether native or foreign born, is quick
to recognize the rights of all who would
come to our shores to better their con
dition and to throw around them all
the safeguards of protection in every
social and political right. From the
landing of the Pilgrim Fathers there
has been a healthful growth in the
spirit of freedom, morality, industry.
and economy. The environments that
surround the American citizen are an
tagonistic to royal exclusiveness. They
regard labor as respectable and meas
IRE men by the standard of virtue and
personal worth.
The natural product of the soil, aided
By intelligent labor, is the greatcreative
force, the only source from which
wealth may be obtained to meet all OBJ
legations. The street car fare, interest
on bonds, dividends on stocks, the SOL
diers' pensions, the fees of the profess
sional, the dry goods and the grocery
bills, as well as the cost of conducting
all the intricate machinery of the gov
eminent, must be paid by the revenues
from the soil.-North American Re-

Inspect the lower jaw, Of course:

At two the middle "nippers' drop.
AT three the second pair can't stop;

FATTENlNG FOWLS.

No Way in Which Corn Can Be Fed to
Better Advantage.
"How can best fatten fowls for mar
ket?''
This is very simple matter, and one
not requiring any special tact or skill.
1t is very profitable proceeding, too.
for fowls that are thin and light can be
made to put on the heaviest possible
weight in very short time if they arc
properly handled.
Fowls fatten best in confinement, and
these which are to be sold should be shut
TIP in rather close quarters, and fed all
they will eat of corn meal coarsely
ground. We have tried various mix
lures for fattening fowls, but never
found anything superior to coarse corn
meal and plenty of pure water. just
these two things will make tough,
thin old hen plump and tender in two
weeks, and when she comes to the
table her flesh will be as sweet, juicy
and tender as spring chicken.
Fowls that are sent to market fat ami
plump always bring the best prices, and
this because they present an inviting
appearance. There is no better way in
which corn can be fed to advantage than
to use it in finishing lot of thin fowls
in preparation for market. The fowls
should be sold as soon as they are well
fattened, for after this is accomplished
il is waste of food to keep them any
lonxer.-Farm and Fireside.

A Curious Calving Case.

A farmer who runs dairy farm IN
the Eorthern part of the village of Fen
ton, Genessee county, Mich, OWNS a
Jersey heifer not quite two years old.
Friday, September Is, she gave birth
to fine heifer calf, but she did not
seem to show a natural maternal feel
ing for it, and it was removed and
placed with another cow. Saturday,
September FL, eight days later, she
gave birth to another heifer calf, even
larger than the first one; her milk
Immediately came, and she owned her
calf. Both calves are now with her.
The case seems the only one known
among the oldest farmers in this
vicinity. The above is true state
ment and vouched for by j. M. D.

The Mission of Weeds.

Weeds are feared by farmers who have
made mistakes in the management OF
their fields, by virtue of which the weeds
have found chance to prosper. Weeds,
therefore, may be said to have mis-
sion; first, to educate the farmer; and,
second, to ameliorate the soil. Good
and judicious tillage and cropping are
the only effective means of keeping
down weeds. A foul place can be
cleaned by inaugurating, for time,
q stout and vigorous rotation of crops.

THE CANADIAN THISTLE.

Method of discriminating This Most De-
structive of Weeds.
Get the land well set in clover, and
the richer the better. Let it stand until
just as the thistles begin to show
bloom, then NOW it, being sure to cut
all thistles. 1t is well to apply some
plaster to start quick growth of
the clover. When the clover is
up a good growth, say at the
middle or last of July or first
of August, pillow the field and be
sure that it is all plowed. Do not cut
the clover, but pillow the whole ground,
having chain on pillow if necessary to
put all the grass under. Roll at once
