WOnd March Down Stairs.

One of the district school trustees
was a crank on the subject of fire,
and when he called around with the
examining board he always con-
fined his remarks to a question ad-
dressed to the pupils as to what they
would do in case the building should
catch fire. The teacher was ac-
quainted with his hobby, so she
prompted her scholars as to the
answer they should give when he
arose to PROFOUND his accustomed
inquiry. When the board called,
however, this particular trustee,
perhaps from a desire to emulate
his associates in their addresses,
rose and said: You boys and girls
have paid such nice attention to Mr..
Jones remarks, wonder what you
would do if 1 were to make you a
little speech?" Quick as thought a
hundred voices piped in unison:

1t is not the land, but the man,
usually, at fault when the crops are
poor, and the man is to be credited
when they are large and profitable.
1t is very certain that the success of
a mans work depends upon the
amount of intelligence possessed by
the man himself.
1t used to be the fashion to burn
straw stacks. 1t is now doubted if
we should ever burn the corn stalks
from the field. Too much is burned
which should be otherwise disposed
of. We will be the better off when
more of these "land marks of the
good old times" are removed.
However low the prices may be, it
will always pay to do the best we
can. If the profit from good crop
of wheat or corn, or from good
beef animal, is small, remember that
it would have been much smaller
still if the crop or the animal had
been a poor one.
When clover seed is sown early
the freezing aud thawing of the

he would rather sow at Christmas
than late in the spring.

Dairy.

A good milch COW has broad hind
quarters and thin forequarters, thin
and deep neck, pointed withers,
head pointed between the horns, fat
and fine boned legs and fine hair.
Choose one with udders well forward,
wide apart and large enough to be
easily grasped. A medium sized
cow will give more milk in proper
ton to the food she eats.
To procure the cream from COWS
long in milk, use fully one-fourth its
volume of pure cold water to dilute
it sufficiently to allow the butter fat
to rise, and then let it sit in cool
place for SO hours. The cream can
then be easily taken from the deep
blue milk.
Keep in mind that a dairy well
managed will increase the value Of
the farm, for, instead of hauling all
the hay and other feed to the city
market at home, and the apparent
waste is used upon the land as a
fertilizer, adding constantly to its
value.
The price for the best butter is al
ways high enough to ensure a profit
to the maker, and the price of the
poorest is always low enough to en-
sure loss. These facts do not
show that there is any trouble with
the business of dairying itself, but
rather with the methods of many
dairymen.
Let us never stop preaching that
it is poor economy for farmer to
keep poor animals, whose feed costs
more than the value of the milk
they give. Every step connected
with dairying must be conducted
upon business principles in order to
get fair per cent. of profit.
Because feeding the cows a liberal
ration of highly concentrated food,
there is no reason for emitting
plenty of hay and fodder. All the
hay they will eat clean in the morn
ing, the clean straw they will pick
at noon and good corn fodder at
night is about what they should
have.
Not the least important product
of the dairy is the cattle manure.
If this manure, with the absorbents
used to save the liquids, be spread
daily in fiat pile under cover, with
the deposits from the horse stables
in alternate layers, it will compost
into one of the most perfect fertil-
izers upon the farm.

Butter and eggs seem really made
to go together, and nothing fits bet

Horses.


Millet which ripened before being
cut is not a safe food. The stems
are woody and not of much value.
The seeds are very rich, and are apt
to founder horses, and if mouldy in
the last degree have a bad effect
upon the kidneys. When cut at the
proper time it is valuable food for
all stock.
The attempt to make a team draw
too heavy a load is waste of time.
Three trips with moderate loads
may be made in the time required
for two very heavy ones. Both team
and driver will be saved a great
deal of unpleasantness. The risk oil
injury to horse and wagon is too
great.
We use pure bred sires altogether
IN swine and sheep, and certainly
with the light of present low prices
for all but the best class of horses il
is important to breed only that
which is pure. 1t takes from three
to five years to get them into mar
ket, and this market is calling every
year for something better.
We must have weight in the collar
to propel the wheels of industry, and
we can not fool the buyers with q
1000 pound horse. Heavier horses
of 1000 or 1900 pounds, are wanted
and more of them. These heavy
draft mares can do good work upon
the farm and raise a good colt every
year.
A farmer can raise horse to three
years old and make good money on
him at $75; that is, in comparison
with other farm products. We
should not ask a horse to make 6
farm pay for itself each year. If we
can get $3.50 for him there will be q
pretty profit.

horticulture.

Patent apple gatherers are little
too rough for fruit of the choicest
quality, and for any which must be
kept long time. The apples are
shaken upon canvas, which rolls
them to the foot of the tree; but
many of them must be bruised by
striking the branches. Fruit which
must be kept must be hand picked.
The strawberry, when trans
planted, is the most liable of fruits
to failure. 1t is in full leaf and is
apt to be set too deep, and the crown
will rot; or not being planted deep
enough, the earth settles away,
leaving the upper part of the root
exposed, causing the plant to dry
and perish.
The ounce is a profitable fruit to
grow, as after the trees are in bear
ing they rarely have an "off year"
Because they often die some i'm
agine that they are difficult to deal
with. This is almost always the re-
suit of carelessness and the lack of
proper cultivation.
A poorly bearing orchard can
often be redeemed. Manure heavily
in the fall. Let it lie on the surface
all winter, and in the spring pillow
just enough to give the manure a
coating of soil. Fruit buds will
probably show in the fall, and if too
much growth is made pinch back
the leading shoots.
When the trees are badly infected
with bark lice, there is perhaps nc
better remedy than to wash their
trunks with a very strong solution
of tobacco, to which is added a like
portion of equally strong soap suds
Put on thoroughly with an ole
broom, brush or a cloth.

eight pounds, and is an excellent
sheep for small flock upon the
farm and for domestic use. Its size
and nature of its mutton and wool
suit the demand, and it is most
often seen at the fairs and in the
market.
Where sheepmen believe more in
mutton than in fleece they should
show their faith by breeding up
with the best mutton bucks. In
deed, when flock is on this basis it
will prove much more satisfactory
than when the profit depends wholly
upon the idiosyncraciee of the wool
market.
While sheep will get more
sustenance from poor land, and at
the same time do the land more
good than any other stock we may
possess, it must not be forgotten
that they will also repay liberal
feeding. Food wisely fed will al
ways come back to us doubled, if fed
to good animal.
