Chester Bailey Fernald, whose first

wife started to wheel through Japan.
Mr.. Fernald had found much of his in

The length of the handle bar stem ex-
posed above the top bearing probably
has little to do with the steering, but
it certainly has much to do with the
appearance of both rider and machine.
A long stem is always undesirable if
the cyclist would appear well. Neat
ness of line requires that not more than
an inch of the stem show above the
head. Short armed riders should use the
upturned bars and never raise the stem
in order to get high handles. A long
stem with dropped bars of course rem
ders the stem liable to bend or break
in hill climbing or under other condi-
lions requiring hard pulling on the
grips. Cyclist.

their respective wheels and rode away

Feeding the Farm Crops.

The hauling of green corn, rape
and silage to cattle when the pas
lures were short returned a fair
profit, and mixed grasses were pre-
ferred by cattle to timothy and clo-
yer. There is less cost in fattening
cattle than in raising them, but also
less fertility to the soil. Corn en-
silage and meal was not deemed as
safe as when pound of cut straw
was mixed with three pounds of en-
silage. While it pays to purchase
grain and linseed meal for feeding
purposes the more of the food that
can be grown on the farm and fed
to cattle the better, as there is al
ways cost in hauling to the farm,
while the use of farm products per-
mits the saving of foods that would
be wasted or find no market. Sheep
serve to assist in consuming por-
tions of the homegrown foods that
might not be utilized by cattle.
Cattle-feeding is a business which
should induce the farmer to grow a
greater variety of crops, as a pro-
lection against the loss of depend
ent crop from drought, and also to
grow the cheaper foods, such as en-
silage, which supplies the succulent
foods after the animals are removed
from the pasture. The results of the
experiments mentioned should be
of service to those farmers who are
interested IN better breeds and the
production of beef at the lowest

Eggs and beauty.

A great many people are led to
put off the beginning of Standard
bred pOulty breeding because they
think it hard to breed standard re-
quirements, and that fancy fowls
are not as good at those more plain
ly bred.
After the experience of good
many years the writer has reason to
believe that all that is necessary to
succeed in having standardized
chickens and good egg layers at the
same time is a moderate degree of
patience in breeding up flock.
Anyone who cares for his flock and
gives them personal attention soon
comes to know the best layers, and
these will be selected for breeders,
standard points being a minor con-
sIderation at the beginning, where
the breeder is after utility before
beauty.
Gradually the best layers among
those coming pretty close to stand
ard requirements may be selected
and all the time an Improvement in
both beauty and utility will be go
ing on.
This does give the breeder repu-
tation as a poultry fancier quite as
soon as he could make it by breed
ing for standard specimens first, last
and all the time, but once he has
established flock that lays well
and at the same time looks well
from a fancier's point of view, he
will find that the market for his
birds is unlimited at a price that
will be perfectly satisfactory.
Not everyone can breed birds that
sell for $50 or more, but it is COM
paratively easy to breed up a flock
that will command at least ten
times the market price and which
will be good as egg producers also.
This is the reward that all who
breed good poultry may look for
ward to in full confidence, and as
one Of the reasons why standard
bred poultry should be bred. 1t
costs no more to grow a So chicken
than it does a scent one, and it is
worth while to try for the higher
price. If one out of ten comes up to
the standard and all the others
must be sold at market price the
one will sell for as much as the 9TH
er nine.
This is the experience of every
one who ever began to breed and
made earnest effort to improve his
flock every year, and to give it the
best possible care all the time

There is evidently no over supply
of horses at the present time, and
there may be shortage for years to
come because so few have been bred.
Nevertheless, but two kinds will be
profitable to raise-good, light bar
ness horses with size, shape and
quality, and the highest class of
heavy draft horses. Judicious
breeding can not fail to bring good
returns.

Unmarked.

No monument-not even stone
marks the grave of John Tyler,
once President of the United States.
His body lies buried in an obscurej
little plot in Hollywood Cemetery,
Richmond, Va, and the only means
of identifying it is by themonument
to his daughter, whose grave is next
to his.
The civil war was primarily re-
sponsible for this neglect to honor
his memory. Tyler died Ia 1852,
and the Virginia Legislature en-
powered the Governor of the state
to erect suitable monument. 1t
also requested that Tyler be buried
in Hollywood Cemetery, near the
grave of James Monroe. The first
request was complied with, but be-
fore the Governor had time to erect
the memorial, the war interfered,
and in the excitement all thought
of it was forgotten, and future gen.
erations have neglected to complete
the work that the war interrupted.

Work For the Month.

Another year has rolled around,
and in this, the last month of it, the
principal work which should engage
the attention of the farmer, is clos
ing up the out door work on the
farm. Whilst our mild winters
often make it practicable to do
much work in the land, even in
December, yet it is never safe to
rely upon doing this, as if we are to
have any severe weather, 1t usually
sets in in December and runs
through January. 1t is wise, there
fore, to devote ones energies to clos
ing up work already commenced
and to making snug and comfort
able all the live stock about the
place aud to lay in an abundance of
feed of all kinds handy for use, so
that if wintry weather should set in,
all will be in readiness for it. A
further season for adopting this
course is the unreliability of farm
labor during this month. The APP
proach of the Christmas holidays is
usually the signal for labor to be-

The Preachers Salary.

If there is one thing in which
churches, as a rule, need to be more
careful, lit is in this matter of preach
ers' salaries. With an Indifference
and an insensibility which we can
not understand many churches seem
to think that u contract between
themselves and their minister is no
contract at all. They promise him
a definite salary and then pay him
whatever is convenient. The gas
man, the coal man and even the
sexton must be paid, but the debt
owing to the minister is looked upon
as altogether righteous and proper.

To Make ponltrx PAY.

There is a great difference in the
management of poulty, and there is
also a great difference in the profits
derived therefrom. If we investi-
gate the management of those who
report such remarkable and almost
incredible egg production, we find
that the birds have been cared for
in a scientific way, the feed is COM
posed of combination of elements
found in the egg, and so proportion
ed as to correspond exactly with the
component parts of the egg. With
such feed as this, and otherwise
properly cared for, the hen is al
most compelled to lay. But such
records are not made by persons
who allow their birds to shift for
themselves and find shelter in the
tree tops or an old shed. Poultry,
to pay, must be cared for and pro-
tected against the storms of winter.

Keeping Apples.

To keep apples sound, laying them
on a dark, dry shelf is one method.
But when so kept many will be
found to lose their beauty and
shrivel; if packed in. boxes or bar
rels with dry sand, however, the
flavor and soundness are not only
preserved but their original beauty
and firmness are also maintained
We do not recommend sawdust or
bran, as these are liable to get damp
and mouldy, and thus injure the
fruit. Pears may also be preserved
in this way, but as these undergo a
slight fermentation after becoming
ripe, the effect of which is shown by
a kind of greasiness on the skin,
they should be left a week in the
storeroom before the method of pre-
serving here pointed out is COM
