ENJOYED his D

The New York Times tells the follow
ing story:
4 successful young insurance broker
who lives in the vicinity of Mount Nor
ris Park has 8 fine horse. He takes
long drives above the Harlem river al
most daily, and he is frequently accom-
panied by his four year-old son. One
day last week the little fellow was
with him, and while driving along the
Kings Bridge Road his high mettled
horse became frightened and started
of, with the bit in his teeth, on a ter.
rife gallop. For q few minutes the
horse was entirely beyond the control
Of the driver; although the broker kept
a firm grip on the reins he saw no way
of averting disaster. The excited ami
NAL plunged recklessly down a steep
hill, swinging the buggy from n side
Of the road to the other. An upset or
a collision with a tree seemed newt
able. Fortunately there were no other
vehicles in the road. The horse kept
up his tearing pace for about a mile,
and only slowed up after running two
or three hundred yards up hill. When
the broker finally got the animal IN
der complete control he looked ARK
iously at his boy. The little fellow sat
bolt upright, with sparkling eyes and
rudy cheeks, and as he met his fathers
glance he exclaimed: THAT was bully,
popl Why don't you always drive
that Way2"

THE SHEEPFOLD.

The shepherd who sits down to a
sumptu0us dinner while the sheep are
nibbling for a living in the oak barrens,
is wanting in many ways Give the
sheep some of the many good things.
Lime water is considered very good
for scours in lambs. It purif1es the
stomach. Where it is to be fed to all
the sheep, q quart of slaked lime is put
in a trough and fifty gallons of water
put in. When thoroughly settled the
sheep will drink the lime water.
There is not one farmer in existence
but may feed a dozen sheep without
ever feeling the loss Of the feed. To
feed well is the first and last necessity
for success in this line. One had better
keep his money in his pocket than buy
sheep with it and then neglect them.
Tt may be accepted as an ~unquestion-
able fact that a flock cannot be kept in
perfect condition during the winter
without some succulent food to obviate
the CONSULTATIVE effects Of all dry feed
ing. 1t is this succuleut food that gives
the lustre to the wool, and this is the
result of a perfectly healthfui skin.
We cannot have good wool on any but
such a skin.
Keep the sleeps feet dry and c,ean
while they are in the stable. Tt is quite
unnecessary to disturb the manure on
the floor if it is kept dry and we'll lit
tered. The packing Of it under the
feet will prevent decomposition, and
keep the floor better in every way for
the sheep than if it were cleaned every
day. Plenty of common land plaster
should be eprinkled or scattered over
the litter. This will prevent all bad

The SOUTHERN PLANTER.

This old established agricultural
journal, now in the 58th year of publ
cation, comes to Us in all the iuvenility
of renewed youth. It is a so page
monthly journal, devoted solely to eg-
ricultural questions treated from the
standpoint of the practical farmer in
the South. Politics are eschewed, and
it is therefore equally acceptable to the
Democrat, the Republican, and the
Populist. Il seeks solely to advance
che interests of scientific end practical
agriculture, live stock, husbandry and
poultry keeping. as from the success
ful pursuit of these industries must
come the permanent well being of
Southern farmers. The editor himself
ia a practical farmer Of 25 years exOe
rienCe on the farm. and he has the as
sJstance OF some of the best scientific
and practical experts in the country.
The January number is an excellent
one, full Of matter Of the highest value
to every farmer, and we cannot but
believe that if our Southern farmers
would subscribe for and read this jour
nal, and practice its teachings, they
must become better farmers and more
prosperous men. This is the testimony
OF many who have taken it, as we see
by numerous testimonials printed in
this issue. The Planter ia published at
Richmond, Va Sample copy will be
mailed you free, provided you mention
this paper.

FoREcLosR The MORTGAGE.

Instead of treating the Pacific Roads
the same as any other debtor, it is pro
posed in place of foreclosing the mort
gage, to extend the Indebtedness for
three generations on an inter est of two
per cent. per annum when the Severn
ment must pay four per cent. The
passage of the bill will compel the peo-
pie Of this State to pay Huntington
and his heirs $241. 500, 900. Hunting
Tor has already spent several millions
to pass it. and he would spend many
millions more il, by 80 doing, he could
accomplish his purpose. It is :mpor
tant that every one should help to de
feat it. Write to different Congress
men, urging foreclosure Of the mort
gage as the only moral as well as bust
ness-like curse to pursue. Point out
that the Government should not dis
crimiuate in favor of the thieves
against the people. II the mortgage is
foreclosed we firmly believe the debt
will be paid, as the combined railroad
corporations would not permit such an
object lesson for government owner
ship as would be furnished if they did
not pay. "FOreclose the mortgage" is
the Cry San Francisco Star.

MPK FOR SWINE.

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
writes: One Of the best foods we have
ever tried for feeding with corn to fat
tening hogs is the pumpkin. When we
begin feeding these the hog will hardly
notice them. But if a few fresh ones
are given to them each day, they soon
become very fono Of them, and each
hog will eat about one good sized pump
kin a day. Indeed, they come to like
them so we'll that il is hard to wear
them eff. They furnish the bulk which
the corn lacks. They are .sucCulent,
appetizlug and highly fattening, hav-
ing nutriGive ratio OF about 1 to Is,
We have seen it stated by good au
thority that b fore feeding them they
should be opened and the seeds re
moved, as they are thought by some
to affect the kidneys and urinary or
CANS ipjuriously. This is an unpleasant
job, especially when the weather is
cold. So one season we fed a lot with
out removing the seeds. Not noticing
any bad effect, We then tried feeding
two pigs on seed alone with other
food), without any apparent injury.
Since then we have fed many wagon
loads by merely bursting them open on
the sod and always with good results.

THE CHEESE INDUsTRYOF NEW
YORK STATE.

The Dairy Division of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry has lately issued a
report on THE Cheese Industry Of the
State Of New York." by B. D. Gilbert,
Special Agent bureau Of Animal In
dustry Bulletin No 15), which discusses
it's history, development, and present
condition, aud contains a chapter by
G. Merry, special agent, describing IN
detail the most approved method of
making full cream factory cheese, to-
gether with an Appendix containing
tables showing o. the New York re-
ceips of butter and cheese; % Trans
actions of the Utica Board OF Trade;
81 Transactions of the Little Falls
Board of Trade; a. Transaction of the
Watertown Board Of Trade, and -
Production Of cheese in New York
State, by counties, for periods varying
from Is to 80 years.
Under the future of the American
cheese trade" some causes Of discour-
agement are noted, especially the Can
adianszand Australasian competition,
the immense quantities Of filed cheese
manufactured and sold as full cream
cheese" and the effect OF the R2ines
law, which forbids the saloons to tf3r
free lunches, and thus closes an annual
market for at least Is, 600. 600 pounds
Of cheese.
And yet, with all these discourage
ments, the situation is far from being
devoid of hopeful aspects. The ques
tion naturally arises, What must u
dairymen and cheese factory men do
to improve the conditions surrounding
their industry7 The first and most ob
vious thing to be done is to make bet
ter cheese, cheese which, when brought
into competition with the foreign, will
possess just as five flavor and just as
long keeping qualities IS that product.
