STOCK.

Use no grade sire, however good he
may be in appearance. He gets his style
and merits from his thoroughbred ar.
cestor, but he has no power to transmit
his good qualities or his fine appearance
to his progeny in any important degree.
He will breed down faster than the thor
oughbred will breed up.
We all know that the best profit is
made only by getting on the top of the
market, and unless we get very near that
point there is no profit whatever. There
is no use raising or trying to make liv-
ing out of common or average" stock
Feed the calf we'll, and you encourage
and intensity the tendency to put on
flesh, which procures the full growth of
the animal in short time; this induces
in the progeny, also. early maturity and
tendency to put On flesh. This is not
wholly matter of breed, for the feeding
has much to do with it.
1t is discouraging matter to doctor
sick animals; it is comparatively easy to
keep them well by giving them good
food, pure water and clean quarters.
Lat the rules about the stock yard be
decidedly fixed and always infexible.
Now, while cheap, is the time to stock
up the farm with the kind of stock
which pays bills. taxes. interest, and
leaves little over for the pocketbook.
Buy none but the best. Pure bred
horses. cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry
are as easily kept as any, and they only
give the returns hoped for.
Among tbs cattle, sheep, swine or
poultry the motto should be to "cull."
Get rid of all suspected of being unpro-
fitable, and all which, because of age or
infirmities. there is any reason to doubt
about being safely wintered.
1t is too bad to let worthless stock eat
good proyender all the winter and then
lie down and die in the spring. II not
attended with too much expense, fit
them for the market, but sell kill or get
rid of them in some way. They can at
least be given away.
If you ever do such thing as clean
out your STALE, do it before spring and
put the manure under shelter; indeed,
all compost heaps should be sheltered.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1897-02-27

There are farms where the cost of
keeping stock through the winter neu-
tralizes all profit made on it in the sum-
mer; there we find no silo, no root crops
grown or stored, no provision for saving
the fodder from going to waste in the
fields.
Salt causes stock to eat more, stimu-
lates digestion, and helps to preserve the
general health. In moderation it is a
great help to the physical organization
and growth of all animals. especially
those put up to fatten.
The cows, pigs and hens should clothe
the family and pay taxes and grocery
bills; also, in this way man may begin
on run down farm, and by wise and
careful use of the barn manure, helped
out by little fertilizer. can keep the
farm continually improving. Let him
bs sure his stock lie good stock.

President LincOln's Private Car.

A relic of much historic interest
stands neglected in corner of the
Union Pacific yards at Omaha. 1t is
the private car built for President Lin
coin in 1864 at the military car shops al
Alexandria, Va. and it was often used
by him while visiting the Army of the
Potomac and in journeys to New York
and Philadelphia. The car is forty.two
feet long by 81 feet wide, and it was
divided into three compartments. II
was entered by door in the corner,
which opened into narrow passageway
extending the entire length of the car
along one side. From this passageway
doors open into each of the three pri.
vate rooms. The room in one end of
the car was considerably larger than the
others, and was furnished with large
sofa and reclining chairs. The small
rooms were also provided with sofa and
chairs, although somewhat inferior to
those in the large room. This larger
compartment constituted President Lin
coins office and study, and is where he
entertained his guests and transacted
business with officials of the Govern
ment and generals of the army. The
sofa is combination affair, and was
made of unusual length to accommodate
the elongated form of the President.
The car was iron clad, armor being set
in between the inner and outer walls,
rendering it bullet-proof. This adds
considerably to it's weight, so much so
that its builders thought it necessary to
mount it on four four wheeled trucke.
After Lincoln's death the car, with Other
railroad material owned by the Govern
ment. was sold by auction and bought
by Sidney Dillon. 1t was used for a
while by the Union Pacific directors,
but then was superseded by finer cars.
Now it's sides are cracked and weather
beaten, and the glass in its windows and
the brass ratings on its platforms are
long ago gone. All the compar ments
and sumptuous interior furnishings and
decorations have been removed, and it
stands like barren, decaying hulk of
its once proud self.-Nea0 York Times.

THE OLD CURIOSITY SHOP.

A great many old landmarks in Dick
ems Land in London have disappeared.
and others will soon be lost sight of
among the new buildings which are
being erected in place of those which
have been torn down. But lovers of
Dickens will still be able to visit many
of the old haunts described so wildly in
his books which are not likely to suffer
change. One of them is Miss Elites
garden, which is reached by a zigzag
course from Bishops court. beyond the
old gateway of the High Court of Chan
Gerry. The principal scenes of "Bleak
House" remain within the compass of
a short ramble here and still bear wit
ness to the marvellous accuracy of Dick
ems realistic method, unrivaled save by
Balzac." "The curious old alleys and
paved passages with their solicitors Of
fees and stationers' shops are still there.
and as one traverses them he peers anx.
iously about, hale expecting to meet Mr..
Guppy or Mr.. Bucket face to face, or to
catch glimpse of Miss Elite lowering
around the old Tudor Hall of Chan
Gerry"
1t seems a great mistake that there
should be any thought of transplanting
the "Old Curiosity Shop" crumbling
structure, but full of pleasant associa,
tons with Little Nell. to America, for
the reason that a larger number of
Americans than the English people now
visit it and its surroundings. A recent
writer expresses himself thus on this
subject. The most of us will agree with
him that the transplanting of the old
shop would cause all its qusintnsss and
pieturesquenees to disappear. He gives
these facts concerning il;
So deeply impressed is the p roprietor
of the Old Curiosity Shop with the in
tensity of American interest in Dickens

send the structure across the Atlantic

POULTRY.

II fowls are kept bedded with straw
or clean leaves there is no use for roosts.
High roosts are worse than none. If
they are to be used at all, they should
bs fiat, and not fewer than three inches
broad not over twofeet from the ground,
and always on level.
Corn will grow chickens more rapidly
than any other grain, and develop them
sooner. 1t is not an egg producing food,
but it brings the pullets up to the egg
laying period earlier, while wheat or
oats keep them longer at the work of
frame and flesh making.
We cannot reason that il a hen makes
profit of $3.50 year, thousand will
make clear profit of 81 800. We must
consider the initial outlay for a larger
farm, and the interest thereon; there
will be deaths from crowding. Different
sa nitary conditions will come into play.
There is great deal more in the feed
and care than in the breed of fowls. 1t
is not necessary to have any particular
breed for success, while. the smaller
breeds will lay larger number of eggs
during the year.
1t is not we'll to feed grown up fowls
with too much soft food, as it tends to
make them dyspeptic. The crop becomes
distended, and the food passes into the
gizzard in larger quantities than re-
quired. Better feed them more on
whole, dry grains.

DAxKE

1t is mistake to try to winter calves
too cheaply. The straw stack is not
enough. They will live. but not devel.
op; and it will cost more to get them
again on the upward grade than to have
kept them well through the winter.
One of the most potent causes of fail
ure in village dairying is allowing the
cream to collect until there is "enough
for a churning." A bitter taste devel.
ops. which spoils the butter. Regard.
less OF the amount, the churn should be
set swinging thrice a week.
Some butter was never good. some was
spoiled in handling, some has been kept
too long. while some has been spoiled by
bad odors absorbed from too close contact
with other substances. There is wide
range of prices from highest to lowest,
and this range was not in the milk at
the start.
Milk freely and rapidly, with as little
movement or jerking as possible. Even
avoid loud talking while milking. Any
thing which attracts the attention from
the operation affects the secretion, and
this secretion goes on during the draw
ing of the milk.
1t is only in the combining properly
of good and abundant foods, fed to

and one having the care which should
be bestowed upon all mothers. which
will bring the dairyman's reward.
The Kerries are good mixers, and are
almost as easy keepers as goats. There
should more place be given these tough
little animals on our rougher hill lands,
where Shorthorns and Herefords do not
thrive. They furnish steaks most
