DAIRY

carrying comes in as great promoter
OF economy in marketing products, for
the condensing of bulky products for
shipment is necessary to success. Trans
portation is one of the farmers greatest
burdens, and massive crops have small
value comparatively.
People demand butter, and if they
cannot get it to their taste they will take
that which comes nearest to it, and that
is oleomargarine. By forcing so much
inferior butter on the market as they do
dairymen have undermined their own
trade by inviting butter substitute in
competition.
Oil meal, corn meal, ground or cut
oats can be- always used to advantage
with bran. especially with milch COWS;
the amount must be determined by the
conditions in which they are fed and by
what Is given them in addition. When
cream is special item too much bran is
detriment.
Inc dairyman often overlooks the
value OF his by-products, and does not
make up very accurate balance sheet
OF his operations; he does not give his
COWS credit for the full value of their
productions. The skim milk and but
termilk have much to do with the ques-
tion of profits. Their feeding value is
not less than twenty cents hundred
pounds.
II dairymen acknowledge that when
turnips are fed to the COWS a few hours
before milking time the milk is tainted
Herewith. what shall we say of the bad
tasting weeds which they eat all through
the day? Surely one of the links in
good butter making in the summer time
is clean pasturage.

HORSES.

Ii farmers were disposed to make the
most of circumstances they certainly
have it in their hands to put upon their
farms for future use a class of horses
which will meet the demands of modern
day methods. The present lull in horse
breeding operations is conducive to the
general determination of the scrub.
They who handle our horses should
be careful and skilful drivers. In the
first place, only such can obtain all the
service Of which our teams are capable;
in the second. our property is much less
liable to suffer from accidents and in
juries.
1t young teams are overloaded they
are apt to become discouraged or vicious.
From such treatment come our balky
horses, and loads which they might be
taught to move with ease become ter
ror to them. A little prevention in this
line is worth any quantity of cure.
Take the horse to the harness shop
and see that collar fits him before you
buy it. His working capacity depends
much upon his harness. With CALLED
shoulders he will not pull steadily and
squarely. and the pain will affect his
whole nervous organization, and lead to
general arrangement and incapacity.
Young animals, cramped and confined,
never attain the highest symmetry,
strength and vitality; to thrive we'll
they should be at ease, and able to
change position at will. Comfort is es-
sential to health and we'll doing. Box
stalls and open yards are necessary for
growing animals, and beneficial to those
which are grown. These are cheap
luxuries for horses.

the past season was there loss in the
vitality of the trees themselves and in
the fertility of the soil which supplied
such burden of fruit. II the thrift of

it will be well to supply both.
There should be a system of apple

the trees from the effects of drouth and

kept out of bearing orchards. The

will be felt in the orchards. Ia any

SHINE.

1t is folly to be continually changing
our breed of hogs. If you have good
kind, stick to it. Almost any breed is
better than mixture. If we start out
to get little of the good qualities of all
the breeds. we are likely to wind up with
nothing but the concentrated meanesses
of the lot.
1t would seem that the chief point
toward which the pork producer must
center his skill is in warding off disease.
This is a matter for individual effort as
well as for combined effort. Cholera is
bound to be abroad in the land, and
there are certain conditions which add
to the malignancy of the disease, and
others which tend to thwart it.
When a boar is full grown he will not
require rich food, although he should
bs allowed enough to keep him in good
health and vigor. and should certainly
have enough of some kind to fill his
stomach. 1t is true that if heavily
worked he should be fed accordingly.
1t is emphatically conclusion that
the hog should never be fed beyond
eight or nine months of age, and the
largest profit is found in weight which
does not exceed 200 pounds. Food for
mere support plays very important
part in the profit or loss of heavy
weights.
Pigs now already Uttered will have
good long time in which to grow before
cold, freezing weather sets in again this
fall. The sows will not require much
more food than those without filters.
If they have vigorous start the pigs
will be ready to wean by the time the
grass has a good start. and they will
grow at little cost.

practice too often prevails which
cannot be too strongly condemned. and
1t is that of allowing grade ram lambs
OF all descriptions to run without cas-
tration, not only depreciating their
value to the butcher, but being the
cause of many inferior rams going into

left to be returned to the land. On

POULTR Y.

Hens seem more greedy for wheat
than any other grain. probably because
taught by instinct that it contains Just
what they need for every purpose. 1t
even furnishes fat forming nutrition, and
should be given with chopped clover
and vegetables. This will give the giz.
zard variety without furnishing too
much nutrition.
1t is claimed that a pen of pullets
without the presence of male will pro-
duce eggs at about one-third less cost
than where cockerals are kept. Where
kept alone there will be some pullets
which begin to lay month or two
earlier than il in enclosures with males.
II you have heavy breeds and want
eggs next winter. by all means have the
broods come off in April, that the pull
let's may mature in time for fall and
winter business; in fact. there is very
little chance for profit from hens
Matched during the later months.

AGRICULTURE.

Few farmers can afford to be interest
ed in any business but their own. II
you have surplus money to invest, place
it where it will be safe and draw a fair
interest without demanding much at
tention; or it is possible it can be en-
ployed in making the farm better and
more productive.
The three forms of plant food-nitro-
gen, phosphoric acid and potash-really
form only small portion of our crops,
but they must be present in sufficient
quantities, or crops will fail to grow
properly. II one or two, or all of them,
are missing, we must call our land
poor.
Our farmers are an intellectual, wide
awake class of people; but too often they
spend more than they make. Buying
ION tick" is running many of them. If
our fathers did better in "the good old
times" it was because their wants we're
not nearly so numerous as those of the
farmers of today, and they bought and
sold on cash basis.
Truly, there must be retrenchment.
but it is a common thing for farmer to
chew up or puff up enough money in
year to keep the household supplied
with the best of literature upon such
subjects as should come before him and
his children. Let not the reading mat
ter be the first to suffer.
The forests of our country signify
much more to it than the mere accumu-
lation of money by converting the trees
into merchantable lumber. Their de-
struction may lead to the creation of
department of forestry in the United
States, with control over all trees re-
naming. So mote it be.

The look that, lighting, leans to bless;
The little daily tenderness;
Smiles without words; the sweet, sure

Which says in silence, 1 am thine.
Returning feet met at the door,
Alas for those which run no more!
All me, for lips that whispered Dear
Earth is all heaven, for thou art here. "

Loud in the breakers, soft in song,
Ever the summons calleth strong.
I see upon an unknown strand
The signal of distant Hand.
The leaf is light, the bud is out,
Floods of May colors float about.

The sweetest chimes are yet unrung.

FROWN AND SMILE.
BY EMMA c. DoWD.

Only frowni yet it pressed sting
Into the day which had been so glad;
The red rose turned to scentless thing
The bird song ceased with discordant ring
And heart was heavy and sad.
Only smile yet it cast spell
Over the sky which had been so gray;
The rain made music wherever it fell,
The wind sung the song of the marriage
bell.
And heart was light and gay.

ONE of us having been ordered
~ South late in the winter, we
found the contrast too strong between
the busy life we had left and the
quiet monotony of Florida days.
Waiting to get we'll is always irk-
some. Restlessness and curiosity as
to our environment seized upon US,
and we yielded. With servant and
"sumpter mule" we set out on an
easy, indefinite pedestrian tour.
Our roads wound now through
lovely virgin forests, now through
vast flower bespangled ranges open
to cattle and hogs and a rowing pub
lie. Only cultivated fields are en-
closed by fences. which, according to
a law of the commonwealth, must be

very narrow opening, if there be a
fine crop to be ruined. He is feet of
foot; passing great drove of these
brutes, one of us gave chase, "just to
see what they would do" They sped
granting across the prairie as swiftly
as deer, leaving their pursuer far be-
hind. We had no hesitancy about
recognizing them as belligerent, for
a veteran boar in the distance, hear
ing the uproar, left off roofing up the
ground, and charged upon the enemy
with glistening tusks and fierce,
snort-like grunts, whereupon the
chase was reversed-inquisitive hui

swine. Taking ignominious refuge
in tree, we were forced to wait till
his porcine majesty felt impelled to
renew the search for food.
By CLINT and glimmer piercing the
green of shrub and vine we discovered

fell on our ears in restful rhythm.
We drew near, and thought to tarry

We journeyed on. At last, weary
and thirsty and warm, we paused
for our midday rest. Neither coffee
nor copious draughts from a crystal
spring eased our threats. We spied
a wild orange tree cleaning with
golden fruit, and laid tribute on it's
succulent resources. Though sour as
