The margin between the possibilities
and the actuallties Of the average farm
garden Is a thing Of goodly dimensions.
1t is, naturally enough, difficult thing
for the farmer to realize to what extent
OF practical usefulness he may put a
single acre OF ground provided he is
willing and careful to bestow upon II
the right kind OF attention. This, says
West Kentucky Farmer, is so because
OF the fact that in his farm work he
looks more to general results. But when
he comes down TO work on a smaller
scale he finds things quite different II
Is only recently that a committee took
upon Itself to investigate somewhat as
TO what was actually being done on
some Of the small truck farms near one
OF our large cities, and they reported
that one farm of forty acres yielded an
nually $4,000 worth OF fruits and vege-
tables; another of six acres yielded
$4,000; another Of ninety acres yielded
$4,000 and another of twenty acres
returned $1,000. These figures repre-
sent good receipts, but even after max.
ing reductions for fertilizers and other
necessary expenditures, the net returns
although not stated, were no doubt
handsome. Apart, however, from the
/ profits from exclusive truck farming
the garden acre on the farm can be
made an important item in the domestic
econon- OF the home, If we take into
consideration all the expense attaching
TO the purchase of garden produce nee
essary to the health, comfort and wei
being of the family.

A great advance In theory and fact
has been made over the old notion that

Old sheep are more profitable than
young ones as long as they are healthy.
1t is claimed by some that any sheep
failing to regain her flesh properly
after her lamb is sold should not be
kept. as there is danger OF her not liv-

No animal upon the farm requires so
long time to overcome the effects OF
overlooking as does the sheep. and
when a steady gain is necessary in fat
tening special care must be taken In
regard to this point. There is the same
risk in feeding growing lambs.

Feed for Rome and Muscle.

In feeding all young animals thrifty
growth is much more important than to
fatten them. Many people suppose that
the only way to lessen fat is to restrict
diet until near starvation point. But
they find by trial that II the food given
contains the fat-forming nutrition, re-
strictlng its amount makes what is Civ
en- so much better digested that he
fattening process goes on as before. A
far surer and better way to accomplish
what Is wished is to give food plentiful
ly, but not of the kind that builds up
fat, and especially to give what makes
bone and muscle. II Is for this reason
that wheat bran and wheat middllngs
| are so valuable for feeding. They will
not fatten II fed moderately with hay
straw or roots. and they will keep young
stock thriftily growing.

ELECTRIC FARMING.
The Use of the Dynamo on Hill.
Country Farms.

The Use of the Dynamo ON HilIa
Country Farms.
Great strides are being made in Ger
many in the way of applying machinery
to many lines of industry.
But perhaps most remarkable of all is
the application of dynamos to agricul-
ture, supplying the three elements of
heat, light and productive energy, as
well as labor.
On one of the new electric farms a
turbine drives a dynamo which lights
the barns, yards and dwellings, and fur
nishes current of low tension to work
pumps, run straw cutter, lathe, grind
stone, large handsaw and thrashing ma
chine. One machinist attends to the
entire plant, which experience proves
has reduced the expenses of the farm in
considerable degree.
This new method of farming has al
ready displaced labor to an extent that
is making farm 1aborers very anxious.
Not only does the electric farmer"
compete disastrously with the old
timer, but the electricity SO stimulates
the growth of his crops by night that he
reaps double advantage.
When one reflects to what a vast ex-
tent Germany is agricultural the intro
duction of an invention that is to make
thousands of farm laborers unneces-
sary seems fraught with serious conse-
Guences.-Boston Globe.

BOSS HANNA's POLITICS.

| Doodle and Buncorube as Passports
to Power.
Mark Hanna is at his best after a ban.
quet. It is then that his genial soul ex.
pands, his massive brain begins to work
and his tongue Is loosened.
It was at banquet that the genial
Mark outlined the policy by which the
people were to be induced to believe that
Maj. Mckinley was against the trusts
and in favor of bimetallism. With
unctuous fervor he described how, by
carefully worded messages and
speeches, the major would fasten his
hooks onrthe confidence and affection of
the dear people without hurting the
interests that stood back of him.
Another banquet has loosened the
great mans tongue and expanded his
soul. The Cleveland Railway Mems Re-
publican club, the name under which
Mr.. Hanna's employees masquerade in
politics, gave him dinner and when
the good things had taken effect the re-
publican boss rolled out chunk of wis
dom embracing his whole political plat
form.
Mr.. Hanna, who, by the way, was adj
dressed as either a senator or cabinet
officer and who failed to deny the soft
impeachment, congratulated the men
upon what they had accomplished and
urged them to strive for more. IF at
any time / can do aught to assist you. !"
said he, draw on me at sight"
There is only one thing in politics,
from Mr.. Hanna's standpoint, and that
is the draft. His belief in it is exeusable,
perhaps, because that seems to be the
only thing in politics that he knows and
it has carried him long way towards
power and glory. 1t nominated and
elected his candidate for the presidency
and has placed within his reach the
dazzling choice between the senate and
the cabinet.
His supreme faith in the power OF
Doodle and sham in politics explains his
preeminence among the leaders of up
to-date republicanism.-St. Louis Re-

tie money for ''hard times,'' and truly

The Legislative committee of inquiry
8 not infrequently only device for
saying undisputed things in such a
,olemn way" Certainly esss arst two
sessions of Senator Lexow's commit
zee on trusts have been Of such a
character. To the testimony there at
aches only the value which belongs TO
formal demonstration of facts which
aad been long of current notoriety.
The salient facts thus positively de-
veloped by this inquiry are these: The
sugar trust controls so per cent. Of the
output of refined sugar in the United
States and fixes the price of that staple.
As result of this domination of the
market it is able to pay u per cent.

simplifying his testimony at this point
by remarking that he would not go
into any business that would not net

stock of the company is $73,936,00o.
much of which was created for the pur-
pose of buying up and suppressing rival
refneries. The undivided surplus in
1895 exceeded s13.ooo.oo0. Mr.. Have
meyer. in burst of public spirit, went
on to assert that another monopoly
that of the Arbucllle coffee concern
made profit of three to four cents a
pound on its entire output, and that he
intended to enter that field, to the great
profit of the public, and. incidentally. of
course. to profit of IS to 20 per cent.
for himself.
An immediate benefit might spring
from this investigation if the gentle
men at Washington now engaged in
formulating q new tariff would give
heed to the figures showing the profits
of the trust 1t seems a safe PROPOSE
ton, one, indeed, that should be ac-
cepted by the most Thoroughbred Nc
Kinleyite, that a monopoly making av-
erage profits of ten per cent. on what
is believed to be heavily-watered stock
is not in need of protection. But it is
an equally safe proposition that the
next official committee the Havemeyers
will meet will be the ways and means
committee OF the house of representa-
tiyes. with plea for protection against
German competition.
1t cannot be said the examination of
the benefciaries of the trust system
is being prosecuted with degree of
acumen which promises the best re-
suits. Nor does the fact that the COM
mittee will hold only six more sessions
offer encouragement that it's report will
form very valuable contribution to
the literature OF the subjeet.-N. z.
