There is money in poultry and hun,

Unfortunately there are thousands

eastern editor recently expressed it in
a simple way when he wrote: Don't

Two Vices Peculiar to Horses.

4 veterinary surgeon, who has given
the subject great thought and expert
mented largely with victims of cribbing
and wind-sucking habits, declares that
u horse having both or either of these
habits should be classed as unsound.
and that young horses often contract
the habit from being stalled near con-
frmed rubber or wind-sucker The
same authority thinks the best proven
tive outside of specially devised appa-
fatus is a roomy box stall, and that COW
ering the manger with wool, or saturat-
ing the same with bitter liquids, or COW
ering tempting projections with iron
are utterly useless to prevent the habit.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The milk cow is very responsive TO
kind treatment.
While feed is as necessary as breed,
TO amount of feed will make a good
mixer out of a COW that is not so natur-
ally.
The beginning in the dairy business
should begin with one or two good
cows, and increase the number grad
ually.
The so-called butter increasers-black
pepsin. for instance-are frauds They
DO not increase the amount of bitter
fat, but only serve TO unite the butter

New YORK, Jan. L. - The Press
claims to have received news through

It Has Awakened the Spirit of Improve

In our anxiety TO promote good farm
pg there is no danger that the subject
OF good roads viii be overlooked. When
man gets the spirit in him to improve
his farm, his crops and his live stock,
the spirit ofprogress cannot be checked
there, but necessarily it must be eN-
tended to his buildings and fences.
Who ever knew a farmer to erect d
substantial fence along the highway
who would not also cut down the IN
slightly bushes along the margin, see
where drainage is needed and how the
roadway could be improved, and then
resolve that it shall be done at the first
opportunity? A good farmer is always
a good-roads advocate.
just now many things are conspirinS
to assure good roads in the near future.
few years ago the rcad-scraper on
wheels came into vogue. A law was
enacted to permit few ad joining road
districts to unite and purchase a
scraper to be used in common, as it is
an expensive piece of machinery, and
rarely a single district could afford to-
purchase one alone. Now these ma
chimes are common all over the state,
and through their means road improve

CONTRACTING RuITER.
How 60 secure q Good Average Price the
Year Round.


Year Round.
There is scarcely any farm butter
maker having a reputation for making
a good article and living within few
miles of an ordinary western country
town who cannot find a regular Gus
toner or customers who viii take but
ter the year around at good price
which viii be a good round average
price for the year, says the Homestead.
All that is necessary to make contract
ing of this kind easy is that the butter
maker establish a record for having
everything nice and clean, and for pro-
ducing quality that is both good and
uniform. The price that can be secured
in this way is always considerably bet
ter than the ordinary way of selling to
the grocer or store keeper. As prac-
teal question, it is subject to only one
drawback, and that is from the side of
the customer. We have known good
many town people who contracted for
their butter this way and very COM
mon complaint among them was that
they always get their butter if the
price to be paid was little better than
the stores and groceries were paying.
but when, with the change of the sea-
son, the price rose until the store keeper
or grocer was paying a little above the
agreed average price, the butter maker
very commonly reported that the cows
were failing and he did not have any
butter to deliver under the contract.
Of course, if one practices this species
of dishonesty he Will find it difficult to
make contracts of this kind for regular
delivery, and reputation not only for
cleanliness and good uniform quality
is necessary, but also reputation for
strictly carrying out contracts as made.

PROOF AGAINST INVASION.

The two principal German fortresses
on the Baltic sea are at Konigsberg and
Danzig. Central Germany has .hree
frst-class fortresses, Spandou, Madge-
burg and Knstrin; on the French from
tier, Metz and Strasburg; and on the
Belgin frontier Cologne and Koblenz.
The Cyclopean walls of Baalbec were
defensive works built of stones, so great
in size that even the most elaborate en-.
cheering appliances of the present day
would be taxed to transport them.
Some of these stones are 60 feet long by
10 to IL thick, and of unknown width.
The walls of Babylon were made Of
sun-dried brick. They are said to have
the top for from three to five chariots to
drive abreast. The material, however,
was so friable that OF these gigantic
structures not a trace now remains.
The walls of thecastles built in Eng
land by William the Conqueror were of
remarkable thickness. The castle of
Hastings and the keep or round tower
Of Windsor have walls upward of 80 feet
in thickness. Such a fertilization was
impregnable against all forms of at
tack then in use.
In The Voyages of Capt. Cook" there
is statement to the effect that in New
Zealand the towns of the natives were
all protected by sbockades. In some
cases these were formed of double or
triple rows of trees, the spaces between
being latticed with wicker work and
filled with earth

THE CHEAPEST MONEY MARKET.
Lower Rates of Interest Charged in New
York Than Anywhere Else
in the World.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The weekly
statement of the associated banks to
be issued tomorrow will show large
increase in the cash on hand, as the
consequence of an unusual state of
affairs in the money market. About a
month ago the presidents and other
leading officers of some 40
banks belonging to the clear
inghouse attended a dinner at the
Union League club, given by Henry w
Cannon, president of the Chase ma
tional bank. At this gathering an I'M
dcrstanding was reached that no call
loans, or in other words loans repay
able on demand. should be made at
rate less than two per cent. per an
mum. For three or four weeks pre-
viously most of the call loans had been
made at u per cent. At this rate the
banks did not consider that they were
receiving an adequate return on their
money.
During the present week the Dor.
rowers found that they could obtain
money from the trust companies, in
surance companies and other large
lenders at IL per cent. Accordingly
they shifted their loans to large ex-
tent, that is they paid off the loans to
the banks and got Accommodated from
the lenders, whose rates were one.
half per cent. lower. The banks
secured only a small part of the
new loans. The rapid accumulation
of money in their vaults which was
earning nothing at all finally brought
them to n realization that their agree
ment to keep the call money rate up to
two per cent. could no longer be adj
hered to with advantage, and yester-
day most of them were accepting Of
fers of ~ per cent. Although the
tendency of money is downward all
over the world, it is cheaper in New
York than anywhere else.

of Cash the Largest
on Record.


NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The Finan-
cier says: The weekly bank statement
was not regarded as entirely favor
able from a superficial standpoint and
seemed to discredit the temporary rise
in loan quotations which was reported
for a few days recently. The sudden
check in this advance during the lat
ter part of last week. Judging from the
bank returns, was well founded. There
are reasons for believing, however,
that the statement does not exactly
reflect the condition of the banks. 1t
is fact that unusual preparations are
being made to meet the heavy demand
for money for crop purposes at the
present time No doubt heavy rquida-
ton of. loans has taken place in New
York, and this may have tempora rily
disturbed the figures from which the
weekly statement is made up.
A more probable theory is that the
banks have increased their cash in
order to be in a position to meet all
claims upon them, and it would not be
surprising if next week revealed quite
a diminution in reserves The interior
movement is already we'll under way.
but the demand has not been up to ex-
pectations. The interior banks seem
to be fairly itwell supplied with cash.
and there is a prevailing disposition
among farmers tonlhold back grain on
a rising market, II order to take ad-
vantage of the highest price obtain
able. There seems to be no question
that the loans of the bank will show
continuous Iexpahsion, in the face of
prevailing c6nditfons, but deposits
ought to show a falling off soon.
Never in the history of American
banking has there been an accumula-
ton of deposits moths center such as

also said have the banks been doing
