LET Us sTICa TO THE FARM.

History proves that prosperity has
always followed times of great depres-
SION, and history will repeat itself.
No matter what comes, let US stick to
the farm. We may work a few years
Ter aothing, but what matters it so
long as We retain in our possession the
old farm home? We shall not always
remain at the bottom of the wheel. In
time. matters will adjust themselves.
Then let us have a tirmer determine
ton than ever to know the details of
our business and make the coming
yeer conspicuous for having made
progress in reducing the cost Of pro-
ductlon, the curtailment Of unneces-
sary expenses, and, above all, let Us
never forget that ours is one Of the
noblest callings given to men, and the
little spot OF ground we occupy is part
OF Gods green earth. and let up man
fully and hopefully till and care for it,
that those who shall succeed us may
point with pride to the work of our

one occasion. A cowboy who hXd van

he succeeded in mounting the bird,
which at first tried to SHAKE him off,
then to get away by running, but these
tactics, Of course, had TO effect upon
the cowboy. Then in spite Of all the
ma could do. the ostrich succeeded in
getting it's head around and Selling the
man by one leg. He doubled his feet
under him. and the ostrich reached
over his wings and got Il good hold Of
his back, throwing him heavily to the

CLUB FOR UNMARRIED WOMEN.

There is a club intended exclusively
for unmarried women in Chicago. 1t
is called the Federated Women's Club.
and it's object is ITO occupy a resi-
dence club house together, in order to
secure that comfort and pleasure
which a home alone gives, and to sus-
tain a literary society, Of which the
club house shall be the centre" 1t is
intended for that class of young wom-
en- who are thrown on their own re-
sources for a means Of livelihood, and
it is also a convenience for ladies liv-
ing out of town. 1t occupies the three
upper flats of the Roanoke" and
hopes to take the whole building with
in the next six months. 1t will then
have over seventy rooms, with ccom-
modations for one hundred resident
members. The initiation fee is set al
one dollar, and the resident members
pay from three dollars and fifty cents
to six dollars a week, according to the
size and location Of their rooms Al

tons for membership is that the cam
didate shall be unmarried. the club Is

BURNING POTATO TOPS,

How much are potato tops worth as
q fertilizer? This question is naturally
aroused by a criticism which we find
in the Practical Farmer by Theodore
B. Terry, who is well known as q sue
cessfnl Ohio farmer and agricultural
writer. He says that these potato
tops contain manurial elements, which,
excepting the ash, are entirely dissi-
pated by burning. But the tops in
all cases after digging are pretty sure
to contain germs OF the potato rot
fungus, which any other method of
treating them except to burn them
will leave to do their work the follow
ing year. These potato tops if left on
the ground will be blown by winds
into the corners of fences, as we have
often seen them. The soil in the
middle OF the field will not be bene.
flied by them at all. If the potato
tops IRE put on the manure pile to be
saved, the germs OF fungus will be
scattered all through the manure, and
be carried out may be to the fields
lHab are ~ Lave potacocs oA AeAt JcaI'
More than this, the dust of soil where
potatoes are grown is blown by winds
for long distances. 1t is thus we be-
lieve that the fungus of potato rot is
often carried to distant fields. II the
potato rot is to be stamped out, the
first thing to be done is to burn potato
tops as soon as possible after potatoes
have been dug. -American Cultivator.

THE COMING BUTrERMAKER.

In looking over the time which has
elapsed since ] first became interested
in dairying, I find there has been
much change, writes Professor T. L..
Haecker, of Minnesota. The butter
or cheese maker who has come in con.
tact with his fellow-workers has added
to his store of knowledge and made
wonderful progress. On the other
hand, the home dairyman has made
but little advance. I am surprised to
see that methods employed to-day in
making butter ON the farm are little
better than those used fifteen years
ago. It is not because the farmers
have Disadvantages, but simply because
they do not use them. The person
not coming IN contact with those
similarly employed gets an idea that
his methods are the best methods and
that his butter is the best butter.
Every farmers wife makes good but
ter. In all my travels ! have never
seen q woman admit that she made
poor butter.
Now on the other hand, in the butter
makers OF the factory and creamery l
find o bright intelligent class OF e
Still. there is much to learn. The
coming b~uttermaFer will have a larger
field than the one you occupy. He
will not only be a buttermaker, but he
will be a practical manufacturer. lie
will be o teacher. His instructions
will 90 out on the farm and he will be
an instructor in the best methods OF
raising crops. He will inform himself
AZ to the culture of field crops and the
proper curing OF fodder and forage.
He will become On expert judge OF
dairy products. He will study the
hest methods Of breeding, rearing and
managing dairy stock. When by
nroper selection and feeding OF dairy
cows YOU can teach the farmer that he
can produce one pound Of butter on
four cents worth Of feed where 1t now
costs him eight, usee what wonder
ful opportunity there is for develop
ment and what is the actual condition

CORN AND GRASS PIGS.

We have heard some very successful
breeders say they want no better feed
for growing pigs than good corn, says
l.. N. Bonham in the Breeders Gazette.
Visiting some OF these breeders whose
sheet anchor is sound corn, we in7ari-
ably find their pigs in fine condition,
fat enough to show or go to the block.
1t is worthy OF notice here, too, that
they expect to have all these pigs sold
between the ages of five to seven
months. But, while they give these
pigs all the shellel corn soaked in
water twelve to t%wenty-four hours,
that the pigs will eat up clean in a
half hour or less. we also find the pigs
have the range of the orchard Or blue
grass lots or clover field with shade
and water always accessible.
These corn feeders have noticed
that they have lawful luck" if the
season is such that they have little or
no grass, Or clover has failed. They
may feed ever SO carefully and add
Stop in abundance made from mill
feed, yet the pigs have not the soft
coat and oily skin or ready appetite
they have when@hs grass Is fresh and
abundant, and Nover e young and
plenty, or the pigsL|.k orchard get
maps. y
The value of gooarsestp3e, whether
of clover or blue grass Ffmo!hy, or
chard grass, red top, 81 rye, is hard
to estimate. So gres, is it that we
can safely assert the cheapest and
most wholesome pork caanot be made
without it. We may do as the Danes,
Canadians and other successful pork
makers have to do where oats, peas
and barley grow, and oil cake, rape
and vetches are added for variety,
and We may learn that their success as
competitors for the best markets of
the world comes not from the fact
that they do not feed any corn, but
that they feed mixed rations less rich
in starch and richer in bono and
muscle formers. With our ability to
grow clover and grass wherever corn
grows, we a SO cheaply furnish clo-
yer and grass that during the majority
of the year when pasture is available,
we can have a well.balancei ration for
hogs of all ages at LEGS cost than our
rivals. Western Rural.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Plan now to attend some horticul-
tursl meeting.
Cut the old wood out of the black
berry and raspberry bushes.
Settle o to have the flower garden
next summer ahead of any We have had
in the past.
The PIT for next springs hotbed
should be dug this fall, the frames and
everything made ready for use at the
proper season.
Observation teaches that young trees
should not be cultivated too late in
the season, OR the bark will not ripen
up for the winter. =
Turnips and beets for taNa, use
should be buried in sand or eartf in
bins or barrels, They will come out
as crisp and solid as when put In.
Satisfy tor winter use may be dug
before the ground is frozen solid and
buried in sand or dirt in the cellar
and be found solid when wanted for
use.
ssAs soon as the ground is frozen is
the proper time to cover strawberries.
Use slough hay, forest leaves, pine
needles or cut corr stalks. Cover
lightly; just hide the leaves.
Spinach to be carried through the
winter successfully should have o light
mulch of leaves or coarse hay-any-
thing that will be light on the plants
and keep the sun from them. Too
much mulch will rot the leaves.
After shocking walnats or hickory
nuts do not put them lear the stove
or chimney to dry as they will become
too dry the meats will be brittle and
not have that rich flavor that they
have when dried just enough on the
