AGRICULTURE.

The bulk of products should be con.
densed, and more sold on the hoof and
in the fleece, and less in the bushel
there should be more system about our
farming, and more intelligent calcula.
ton about the probabilities; more than
all, there should be less of that credit
system which leads to prodigality.
Go over and over the plowed field with
the harrow as often as you will, and
there will yet be places where another
turn of that implement will benefit. Nc
other tool will so fine and make firm the
soil for the wheat, and neither fertilizer
nor anything else will make amends for
its absence.
1t is much more expensive process
to restore worn out lands than to retain
their original fertility by iudicious
handling. Men who are farming virgin
lands would best learn this lesson in
due season, or they will learn it later to
their cost. and their regret.
That usually brings the better price
which is known to have been grown in
locality already famed for it. Do moi
be afraid of producing too much of a
given crop in one region, if there are
good shipping facilities. 1t is in just
this way that region builds up repu-
tation for special products.
Orchard grass makes better mixture
with clover. for some reasons, than tim
othy. as they both bloom and ripen
about the same time and hay made of
these grasses is of the very best quality
having a high feeding value for all pur-
poses and for all kinds of stock. The
comparative value of our grasses will
bear little more study.
The tiller of the soil must give atten-
ton and personal supervision to every
part of his work, and never leave the
details Of the management to others.
"There is no manure like the foot of the
owner" is true proverb. During the
season of planting, cultivating and har-
vesting the crops the farmer can not
stay too closely at home.
Local farmers should take an active
part in the yearly institutes, in the dis
cussions, giving their experience with
methods and results, not leaving every
thing to the speakers from abroad. A
free discussion of a given practice is
worth more than any sermon which can
be preached upon it, because it brings
out the weak points as we'll as the good
ones.
Barbed wire is now 80 low in price
that man who builds wire fence can
easily afford to build good one. using
wire enough to make it proof against
any animal, large or small; but the
newer fences without barbs are better
in every respect, and will turn the stock
as surely.
If green crops for manuring are
plowed under in hot weather, in light
soil, they have tendency to sour the
land it is better to let them grow until
little later. If they must be plowed
under in midsummer, it is we'll to follow
with coating of lime to counterfeit the
souring tendency.

SISTER CALLINE'S CHIL'EN.
The Baby not Counted.

SSSSSSSSSSS$S= SSS~SSSSSSSSSSSSSO
THE train ran into little station
in the heart of the pine woods,
and the conductor sprang to the
platform.
"Hurry up there" he called, run
ming forward to the negro coach.
The steps were overlooking with
pickaninnies, so black that at first
sight their small features would have
been indistinguishable but for the
wide crease on each face, filled with
even rows of teeth, startlingly white
in contrast with their sooty environ
ment.
A fat, good-looking negress, hold
ing an oval bundle, wrapped in an old
shawl, close to her breast, seemed to
be the centre of the crowd, and an
old, old negro man, grizzled and
wrinkled, was lowering around its
margin.

he asked anxiously.
"'Clar eff l knowsl" said the wo-
man, running her eye over the COM
pany. "Pears lax dere's one on um

tor. and the train moved.
"Hyar, mistah" shrieked Sister
Calline, "you'se cain off one O my

The conductor laughed good
naturally, and was gone.
"Oh, Lawd" moaned the woman.

He wore that intensely bored ex-
preston only possible to a man who
spends his life in piney woods
clearing, seeing four trains day go
in and out and playing checkers on
barrel head in the intervals.
One wonders if the lunatic asy-
lums are not largely recruited from
this class.
"Orter have tied 'em along rope,
SOS they couldn't get away" he said.
Sister Calline turned her black
velvet orbs in his direction.
"You call dat train back, I say"
she cried. "He's done ca'ed off one

Tears began to stream down the
black face.
The wrinkled old uncle looked
deeply distressed.
"Is you pint blank suah one on
um's missin', Sister CaAine?" he
asked, alphabetically.
Her eyes wandered, vague and
troubled, over the dusky, shifting
crowd of faces.
"Tse mos pufickly suah," she
said.
"Better count 'em," suggested the
agent. "How many are there any

"You sholY is kind, Mistah," said
Sister Calline, gratefully, sitting
down on the edge of the platform.
The agent laughed shortly and
turned away.

and yellow handkerchief from his
pocket and carefully busted the end

The conductor ran his eye over the
group.
A score of heads were thrust out of
the coach, and murmur of amused
sympathy stirred along the line.
"H-m!"
He pulled forth his book hurriedly
and turned over the pages.
"Pass Calline jackson and eleven
children"
He glanced over the huddle of
black, bobbing heads and back at the
woman.
His eye fell on the bundle in her
arms.
"Great Jovel What's the matter
with the baby making eleveni"
There were roars of laughter and
much waving of hats and handker-
chiefs as the train moved out.
"You done counted UNI wrong,
Mistah," said Sister Calline, looking
up reproachfully at the old man.
SIS they all hyar9" he asked with
dignity.
"Co'se dey's all hyar."
"Den don't dat pintedly show dat

Sister Calline's dark countenance
wore troubled expression, but as
they went along the piney woods
road toward Kentville it gradually
cleared up, and when they came in
sight of Lent Hall it was beaming.
'Dere's de Cunnel!" said Uncle
pointing to gentleman dressed in a
white duck suit, who sat comfortably
in big armchair on the gallery.
"He's one O. de ars. You jes' wait

The scheme Of education is practical

must have had four months experience
in factory before he is allowed to en-
ter the school, and before he secures a
dairy certificate from the state he must
spend two years in factories. The school
has already educated over 400 pupils
who are now directing creameries and
cheese factories all over the United
States. There are 2, 500 creameries and
cheese factories in Wisconsin, with an
output of about $50, 600, 600 worth of

Wisconsin has a very successful school
where hundreds of young men have
learned to make butter, 1t is called Hi
ram Smith hall and is part of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at Madison. 1t was
named in honor of Hiram Smith, the
veteran dairyman, who labored for years
that it might be established. The school
is a three story structure arranged for
practical work and instruction in dairy
ing. On the first floor in the large
creamery room cheese is made and milk
pasteurized. On the second floor is a
farm dairy room and bathrooms, offices
and lockers for the working clothes of the
students.
The third floor is occupied by labora-

of the building reminds one of the rural
structures along the Rhine. Beginning
at the foundation white brick wall ex-
tends upward for some distance and
then gives way to artistic pebble and

Without dropping into slang it is per-
fectly safe to say that Leadville, Colo,
has been cutting considerable ice of late,
To be exact, she has cut 100000
pounds of ice and has used it in con-
structing the largest ice palace that ever
stood on this continent. Montreal has
been famous for such palaces and so has
st. Paul and other cities, but Leadville
claims that her palace is three times as
large as Montreal's best effort and is
greater by far than any other similar
structure ever constructed on the contl-
nent. Three hundred men were hard at
work for weeks ON the building and the
bustling mining city has expended a
fortune on its carnivalschem
