it il a wonder they are not raised

Disappointment is often trac7able
to the fact that heavy sires are per-
mitted with young heifers or small
cows, and unrestricted service often
allowed. There should be some
harmony in the parents of any ami
NAL.
A good COW is one which will give
five or six thousand pounds of milk
a year, capable of yielding $50 or 300
pounds of butter if desired. If she
has no bad habits, has a good con
stitution, and such good blood that
we are warranted in using her for "A
mother for future cows, is about all
one can reasonable expect.
1t is not always safe to separate
the ewes and lambs suddenly,
especially in the warm weather,
when any unusual condition in the
eve may lead to unexpected trouble.
The rule must be a close oversight
OF the flock, one by one, and the
drafting off of those ewes whose
lambs may be safely separated from
them permanently.
Home winter daiTying will enable
you to feed all farm crops to advant-
age, to make butter with profit, and
to accumulate more manure 70" en-

when the stock runs out. In the
summer soilipg will enable you To
maintain the land better than it can
be done by pasturing, but the ma

for this.

COckerels kept until November
bring no more money than if sold
for broilers in midsummer, but they
keep on eating all the same.
Poultry of all kinds is easily
digested, and has less tendency to
create heat than fat pork. and the
farmer who has care for the health
of his family will get out Of the old
table customs.
Cold weather will check the
development Of chicks Matched in
June or later, and it will not pay to
keep them over. Market early, and
avoid the drop i'm prices which
comes when every one has a notion
TO sell.
Five hens and "a gobbler on the
farm should produce 100 young tur-
keys every year, worth from 500 to
$500, and not more than One-tenth Of
this should be layed ont for eX-
penses. Feed we'll in February and
March. Turkeys are easily raised
if one knows how.
In the United States the WELD of
cotton is worth about 400 million
dollars, hay 1870, dairy products 25O,
poultry and eggs $50, and We export
more or less Of everything but the
latter. We eat all our eggs and
chickens at home, and then call for
more from abroad.
When the knack ofraising poultry
is mastered and an understanding
had between the keeper and his
fiocks, the work becomes easy and
routine, and business is established
which will net a larger income than
anything else on the farm, for the
capital invested.
The poultry industry has de-
veloped into the largest agricultural
industry of the United States, and
yet she imports annually S2000,00O
worth of eggs to feed herself. The
100000 people of the State of New
7 York consume about $45, 200, 900
worth Of eggs and poultry annually.

Education is as essential for the
farmer as for any other man. Good
farming consists not wholly of
manual labor; it requires he exer-
else of good intellectual powers.
There is a vast difference between
scientific and theoretical farming.
A few hills which eail to start be-
cause Of poor seed, a few more which
are injured by the horses while cul-
tivating them, few killed by insect
or disease, and away goes 10 per
cent. Of the crOp-which is perhaps
30 per cent. Of the profit. To com
bat all this is certainly worthy our
fullest study.
1t is an uphill business to attempt
to eradicate the weeds from a man =
own farm when the winds which
blow and the birds which fly and
the wagons which travel up and
down the roads all carry the seeds
Of a neighborhood to his acres; but
thus it must ever be until farmers
unite their forces in the assault
upon them.-Selected.

star Pointer Beats Joe Patchen, Lower
ing Racing Record to 2:O1.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. Is. - The
worlds racing record was broken by
Star Pointer at the State Fair
Grounds track this evening when
he paced the mile against Joe Patch
en- in 2:01, the race being the closing
heat between the world wonders
that was paced over muddy track
yesterday.
The track was in an ideal cOndi-
tion and the day was beautiful, but
only 1000 were on hand to cheer the
two wonders. AS they left the wire
Patchen forged ahead half length
and kept the lead until the first
quarter was made, 1898. Patchen
continued to hold the front till the
half was reached and passed, max
ing the half mile in one minute fiat.
1t was then that Star Pointer came
up and gradually began to crawl
away. Before the third quarter was
reached he was two lengths in adj
vance of Patchen and it was clear
that the race was won. The third
quarter was reached in 80 fiat.
Pointer quickened his pace by a
word from his driver and gaining a
length on the home stretch, passed
under the wire three lengths ahead
in the fastest time ever made in a
race.

Raise Frnit..

Although the farmer may not be
situated so that it will pay him to
grow fruit for commercial purposes,
ne should raise enough for all tive
requirements of his table. No class
of food is healthier than fresh, we'll
ripened, fruit and nothing adds so
much to the luxury of the table. In
deed there are often times when one
or more Of the family, from sickness
or from being; nearly run down, y
finds no other food at all palatable.
All the small fruits, strawberries,
raspberries, blackberries, grapes,
etc, should find a place en- the farm.
In raising fruit for home it is not so
important to have varieties that are
prolific as to have the finest quail
ties. The orchard, too, should have
every variety that soil and climate
permit. Thus he secures good liv-
ing and good health. Nearly every
part Of the year will have its fresh
fruit, the apple, OF course, reaching

Shaker Digestive Cordial for many
years, and it j. always the same, simple,

short Thoughts For the Busy Farmer.
Potatoes should be very thorough
ly dried before they are stored away,
otherwise the dampness will induce
rot.
The boy can not look upon work
quite from mans point of view. II
you want the boys to stay BY you,
show them that the farm is Just as
pleasant place as can be found.
Make the cellar frOst-prOOf by all
means, but have it so that light can
enter at all times, and arrange so
that you can air it thoroughly every
bright day when the weather is
warm enough to permit.
Let no farmer buy staples which
he can raise himself, paying another
the profit he should have. He can
live almost wholly within himself if
he will, and live upon that which is
fresh and better.
In slipshOd farming there is no
charm at all; none in weedy fields
or untidy fences, fence corners or
barns, or with the buildings in a
general state Of disOrd er.
1t does not need proving that land
can not be over cropped if supplied
with plant food equivalent to that
removed by the crop, and if the
robber weeds are kept down.
Deny yourself for a year or two
the scant yield from a poor field,
and undertake a systematic course
Of renovation. Rest assured you
will be repaid for outlay and for loss
Of time.
