factory system relieves the work,
but does not reach the high class
quality and high price to special GUS
toners. With improved appliances
and improved breeds of cattle, farm
dairying, gilt edged butter and fancy
prices are going hand in hand.
The handling of the COW should
begin with the calf, and, if contin-
ued habitually and gently, the oper-
alton of milking will be regarded as
a relief, and not as something to be
resisted. Anything which disturbs
the even tenor of the way of the COW
will retard and diminish her milk
whether it be hunger, worry by dogs,
thirst, or even cross treatment at
at the stables.
Even with a herd of the very best
of butter COWS much will depend
upon the manner in which they are
treated. The natural habit of the
COW is contentment and rest. She is
the most gentle and quiet of all farm
animals. Whatever may be true
about the horse, the mich does not
need exercise. Shade in summer
and warm bedding in the stable in
winter are actual necessities.

Horticulture.

If barnyard manure be applied
with land plaster to the grape vine
the plaster in much greater quaint
ties than are usually employed-we
would have fertilizer especially
adapted to the production of grapes.
1t is a mistake not to make greater
use of stable manure in our vine
yards.
A garden, properly conducted, will
furnish something to sell every day
in the year, and one need never 90
to town without taking something to
barter for his groceries. This is not
the result from the usual farm gar
den, however, for the soil is kept
neither sufficiently rich, deep nor
well drained.
The expense of procuring good
pear trees is but little more than the
cost of apples. The one is no more
trouble to grow, and both must have
care. The pear will succumb a lit
tie more quickly to neglect, but no
tree should be planted to shift for
itself. More pear trees can be plant
ed to the acre, and more bushels of
marketable fruit can be obtained
from tree.
The wonderful results which onion
growers have obtained seem very
enticing; but no man without expe-
Tience can attend to an acre of on
ions, grown from the seed, success
fully or with profit. If the fever
must be humored, it is by far better
to grow them from the sets than
from the seed. The start costs more,
but the cultivation less.
Those who put off the planting of
fruit trees until spring are apt to
neglect it entirely. The autumn af
lords more leisure for doing the
work properly, and a tree will grow
better than one hurriedly and poor
ly planted in the spring; but, wheth-
er it be spring or fall, plant them.
You did well if you cut out the
dead limbs from the trees and the
old canes from the small fruits as
soon as the leaves fell. We trust
you raked away and burned the de-
bris, MANFRED the ground heavily
about the raspberries and gave them
a good cultivating. This will be
quite relief when the rush of the
spring work comes, and the fruit
will be the better for it.

Nothing has ever yet been found

is SO easily supplied should not be
neglected.
With our large corn crop there is
a tendency to utilize it with the
hogs and overdo the fattening. Let
there be given all the green food
possible, and all the variety of
other grain at hand. Let there be a
mixed ration of ground feed, rightly
proportiOned, that there may be a
development of vigor. bone and
muscle along with the fat.
We think it would be hard to find
any farmer who has gone intelligent
ly into the sheep business, keeping
good stock and giving good care,
whose profits for the year have not
been considerably augmented. If
doubtful as to the profit in sheep, let
us observe closely those who are
handling them, and see if they are
not arranging to carry still larger
flocks.
Early in the spring lambs which
are in good marketable condition
sell at high prices. Good, thrifty
ewes must be selected and must be
bred early in August, so that the
lambs may come early in the new
year; and the most thrifty lambs Of
vigorous growth owe it to a sire eX-
ceiling therein.
The great evil of pool selling, of
course, lies in the fact that betting
is destructive of morality. The
chance success of a few, without
hard work or honest endeavor, dis
courages labor, makes prudence
give way to madness, temps from
thrift and industry, and ends in
fraud. Millions are won and lost
annually, and no one made the
wiser, better or happier
Horses are scarce and high in
Europe, and buyers come here to get
them. Unfortunately they can not
find them. They come to our city
markets only to find cheap, small
horses. When they find good
horse the price is high, for our own
demand for such is twice as great as
the supply. Neither is supply in
sight.
One finds that he must pay a good
price for it when he wants to buy a
really good animal, whether for
beef or dairy or for breeding. This
certainly furnishes the very best in
dication of the sort it will pay us to
grow. Others will want to buy the
very same kind.
The fault lies somewhere. The
butchers are offering ill fed, bony,
sinewy, juiceless and tasteless truck
from their stalls, and fast weaving
the people from the desire for beef.
The cry for better cattle comes from
all quarters-cattle which will make
better beef for decent people to eat,
and for which they are willing to
nav

After a thorough washing let the
butter drain out fairly well, and then
distribute the salt over the mass
slowly, gently cburping, that it may
be mixed all through. Afterward,
with a small tined wooden fork,
work 1T with an upward movement,
that the butter may not be Jumped.
After standing an hour it can be
gathered and worked, the moisture

Mr.. LETTER PLEASED.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. IL
Mr.. Joseph Letter, the young
Chicago millionaire, who re-
turned yesterday from his
cruise down the coast in his
private steam yacht, during
which he and his party shot
1000 ducks and caught more
fish than they were willing to
tell of, said today in answer to
a question as TO how the Tex
as coast compares with the
Chesapeake for duck huntings
"You shouldn't mention the
Chesapeake bay in the same
breath with this coast. The
Chesapeake is shot out. There
is only one place that ian in
any way be classed with this
country down here. That is
British Columbia"
Mr.. Letter will have to leave
for the North tomorrow OF
Wednesday. He says he has
had a delightful vacation.
"There was only one incident
on the trip outside of our sport
that is worthy of mention, u
said he; "that was the loss OF
one of the propellers OF the
yacht. 1t happened while we
were going from Brazos San
tiago to Tampico. As the yacht
is a twin screw boat it didn't
seriously interfere with US.
We had a survey of the vessel
at Tampico and there will be
another survey here. The yacht
will then proceed to New
York"
Mr.. Letter did not go to the
hotel. He finds the yacht SO
comfortable that he will live
aboard until time for his de-
parturs North.-Houston Post.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to conStipated cOndi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
" removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system Is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and Is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
