HINTS FOR SToCKMEN

In breeding defects tend strongly to
become hereditary.
Plenty of warm skim-milk will make
a calf grow and cold skim-milk will kill
1t.
In order to perform hard labor the
work horse must have plenty of nutri-
tious food.
Every animal has just so much
growth in them and no more. Remem-
Der this in feeding, especially for mar
ket.
1t will help to keep the horses with
good appetite If the boxes and man
gers are cleaned out before fresh food
is put in them.
The growing pig should never be al
lowed to fall off in condition sufficient
TO retard its growth, but should be kept
growing steadily until maturity.
While, with the majority of farmers,
pasturing can be depended upon very
largely during the summer, yet when
1t is an item to keep as much stock as
the pastures will carry, 1t will be fotind
good economy to grow some soiling
crops.-Farmers' Union.

To Be Used with Care.

Unground cotton seed is a good
food, but should be used with some care.
1t is rarely safe to feed 1t to hogs, es-
pecially to pigs; it often causes trouble
when fed to calves or other young stock.
The seed has large percentage of oil,
and also of heterogeneous or flesh form
ing matter. Generally 1t will be found
advisable to mix the seed with grain or
other food rather than to feed it alone,
although this is often done. The lint
left on the seed may be considered OBJ
iectionable, but it very rarely causes
trouble except with hogs. Certainly
the seed should not be allowed to go to
waste.-Rural World.

ana have shown that bamboo will grow
in those states almost as well as in the
hottest countries. Around Fort Myers
there are bamboos that have attained
to height of so or 60 feet. They are of
q variety which usually grows to about
70 feet in India. In Orange county
there is one clump of bamboos, said to
be only ten years old, In which the
stalks have attained to the height of
66 feet, the stalks averaging IS inches
in circumference. There are eighty
stalks in the clump. This particular
clump is Of variety from Bengal,
where the wood is used for building pur-
poses and for light spars for vessels.

1t Is not always in the large markets
that the highest prices are obtained for
eggs. One reason why so many farmers
ship their eggs to a distant market is
because it is easier to do so than to sell
nearer home. When lot of eggs can be
sent away in crate to be sold by an
agent the work is done, and when sold in
the nearest town more time must be
given. If the towns were better sup
piled prices would be higher in the
large markets. and it will no doubt pay
to build up n local custom for eggs.

manner than by shipping to the cities.

sell Ynnr Honey at Home.

Push your sales of honey at home as
much as possible. If city prices are not
comparatively high and you must sell
cheap, sell at home, giving your neigh
bors the advantage of what you have to
nav out In the way OF freight, insurance
and commissions. II you will do this
YOU will get new customers, and some
of thesewill become regular purchasers
even at good prices. Very often COM
mission men are blamed for low prices,
when they have done the best that could

Care of Farm Machinery.

More harvesting machinery Is de-
stroyed by the hot sun of midsummer
than by actual cost. The wood work of
machinery lasts much longer If 1t il
Eiven a coat of linseed oil once year.
Some idle day go over the running
gears of the wagon and give the Guilt
vators, harrows, hay rakes and other
machines coat of the same. Anyone
can do this, as there is no danger Of
getting too much oil on the wood. and It
win not hurt the metal parts in any
way.

One thing certain: 1t will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can tell
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, if not con-
sumption, invariably result from a
neglected cold. 1t is surprising too,
that bad colds are so often neglected
when one remembers how easily and
at what little expense they may be
cured. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is always prompt and effectual, and
costs but a trife; 25 or so cent is 3
trife as compared with the disastrous
effects of a neglected cold. MIR. Alb
ner Mercer of Dilworthtown, Chester
County, Pa, in speaking of this remedy,

SCIENCE IN 1896.

The year now ended has some pro-
gress to record in various lines of dis
cOvery. In January, 1896. Professor
ROentgen, of Wurzburg, announced
his process of phOtogrsphing coins by
rays passing through leather, OF bones
by means of rays that traverse the
body. The ''X rays" have become the
starting point for new lines of investi-
cation, and our idea of the movements
of the atom under the influence of
electricity has been much improved.
The fact that there are rays not sus-
ceptible to refractiOn, or polarization,
is new to science. New light is thrown
on the phenomena of huorescence and
phOsphOrescence.
Electricity has during 1896 received
new applications, and electric lighting
and propulsion have greatly extended.
"COld light" is the latest promise of
experimenting electricians. Certain
flowers have been founl to grow more
rapidly under the inf lence of cleo
tricity. Telephoning music half way
across the continent was one of the
feats of the year.
HOrseless carriages attained great
prominence in 1896, and their use in a
practical way is established in France
and England. Flying machines have
also been much improved. The bicy-
Gle has reached the acme of its popu-
larity, and the number in use in the
United States alone is estimated at
1000, 900. In shipbuilding the launch
ing of the Bazin roller steamer and the
beginning of ship in Germany rival
ing the Great Eastern in size have been
notable events. In medicine antitox-
in has gained distinction as prevent
i've and curative agent.
Among explorers DIR. Nansen Is
easily the first in the years record.
He failed in his effort to cross the polar
sea, but got closer to the pole than did
any of his predecessors.

Tours to Florida.

No district in America presents, dur
ing the Winter season, so many varied
attractions as the State of Florida. Be
sides its delightful climate, which to
one escaping from the cold and un-
healthful changes of the North seems
almost ethereal, it is pre-eminently a
land of sport and pleasure. Along its
eleven hundred miles of salt water
coast and in its twelve hundred fresh
water lakes are fish of almost every
conceivable variety, from the migra-
tory tribes common to Northern waters
to tarpOn, pOmpano, and others of a
more tropical character Nowhere in
all our broad land can the angler find
greater variety of game or better
sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hun
ter finds safety. Deer, turkeys, bears,
panthers, and wildcats roam at large
through the more sparsely settled re-
gions, while birds of all kinds may be
found in abundance throughout the
State. The more novel sport of alli-
gator and manatee hunting may also be
indulged in by the more adventurous
! tourist.
With its matchless climate, its or
ange groves, its rivers and lakes, its
boating and bathing, its fishing and
hunting, and it's extensive forests,
| Florida presents unrivaled attractions
for the valetudinarian, the lover OF
nature, the sportsman, and the ex-
plorer.
To this attractive State the Pennsyl-
vsnia Railroad Company has arranged
four personally-conducted tours dur
ing the season of 1897, leaving by spe-
cial train January 26, February 8 and
%, and March 8. The first three tours
will admit of sojourn of two weeks in
this delightful land; tickets for the
fourth tour will be valid to return
until May 81 by regular trains.
Rate for the round trip, $4,000 from
New York, $4s.OO from Philadelphia,
and prOportionate rates from other
points.

AN EVER CHANGING ARISTOCRACY

Some people worry themselves ebont
what they call the "aristocracv," or the
millionaires. The New York journal
devotes a whole page to illustrating
how New York's 4OO'-that is, the
wealthy aristocrats-of to-day. are
drawn from the commonest sort of
stock, who arose by honest toll and
self-denial. The plain people Of yester-
day are the aristocracy now. The aris
tocracy now-their descendent-vill
be the plainest and the lowest of the
common herd few years hence.
The Journal argues truthfullv 'if
the beginnings of some Of the New
York families now great in society
were humble, just so much more credit
is due to those families for what thew
have done-fOr the way they have risen.
1t is striking illustration of exactly
what American democracy means-that
democracy which creates out Of itself
an aristOcracy ever changing because
merit is its foundation. p"
The history goes on to show the
AstOr ancestor a peddlar; Vanderbilt's
a clam-digger; Gould a rat-trap ped
dlar; LOrillard a snug shopkeeper;
Gebhard a butcher; Schiffelin an
apothecary Mills peddlar, and so on
through the list.
No tide Of fortune or misfortune ever
runs one way all the time. The indus
triOus mechanics, ,shopkeepers and toll
ing business men of to-day are the an
cestors Of the wealthy nabobs of to-mor-
row, while the 'aristocracy" and
nabObs Of to-day will be on the lowly
rounds tomorrow. At least this is the
showing of American history from 1906
to 1896.
