STEAMERS TO SAIL.

Sheep.

Regular feeding and a steady
growth make good wool and good
lambs. Experts claim that they can
tell at about what period of growth
the sheep had been kept upon a
poor range or short rations by noting
with microscope the thin places in
the wool staple.
The real cost of keeping sheep is
comparatively much less than that
of any other farm stock, for, to
make pork, a great proportion of the
food consumed is cash grain, and to
make beef, butter or cheese nearly
everything used is that which would
bring money in the market.
When by the expenditure Of few
extra dollars, pure bred rams of the
very best breeds can be obtained,
there is no excuse for the farmer
who will in the present day place an
inferior or mongrel bred ram at the
head of his flock. He deserves nc
sympathy in his failures.
Separate the pregnant ewes from
all the others at least a month be-
fore weaving time, and give some
bone making FOOD ana plenty or eX-
ercise. Corn and confinement will
make large lambs, perhaps, but with
little strength or vitality. The lar
ger the proportion of oats, wheat
bran and clover hay which can be
got into the rations the better.
Good weather should give us
every year for four years WOO
enough to half pay for themselves
and at five years old they are at JUS
the right age to make the best OF
mutton. There should be profit il
any sheep of a good kind.
1t pays to feed lambs before they
are weaned all the grain they will
eat when on good blue grass OIL
clover pasture with their dams, anG
it pays especially well if they are OF
dry feed. Any certain amount Of
grain will put more weight upOl
sucking lambs than upon any othel
animal.

Horticulture.

More hard work is to be done on an
acre of strawberries than upon an
acre of any other small fruit, but it
is equally true that more money and
more pleasure can be derived from
that same acre. Manure the ground
well, but not too heavily, lest too
great plant growth be induced and
black rust invited.
Fall planting of strawberries is
not recommended, as it means a
packed soil to start with the next
spring. Planting in the spring gives
all the season to obtain a strong,
we'll set row; fewer plants will be
lost. All things considered, plant
in the spring.
There are no trees like the sugar
and Norway maple for roadside
planting, yet people will experiment
forever with others where these two
will grow. These never reach an
Objectionable size, and need never
be cut down. Not their least beauty
shows in the fall, while other trees
are unsightly.

ROW IN THE CAMP.
Middle of the Road Populists Have IA
Wild and WOoIly Time.

Wild and Woolly Time.
DENVER, Col, March 1.-THE
middle of the road POpulists met
here yesterday and adjourned after
three hours of fighting. Women
were in the thick of the melee, and
they were in several instances in
stigators of the attack.
The first assault was provoked by
the remark a of woman that she
would not sit in the convention with
the hirelings of corporations, in
dicating one of the delegates. The
latter replied that the accuser was a
liar, and her husband flew to the
rescue, while his wife and her
women companions stood by and
cheered the fighters.
Mrs. r. w. Reed started another
row by saying that she had seen too
much of politics to blush any more,
as that was perfunctory effect that
did the party no good.
Mrs. Alice Faulkner took a band
in the row and eulogized "Grand old
man White" She grew excited and
some one made a sighting remark
that preclpitated further trouble.
The event of the afternoon was
when Miss Holmes replied to the
attack of the Boiler Inspector, W.
r.. Frazier. He said that the cor
porations were more powerful than
Populist principles.
That's a lie" shouted half a
dozen, and men and women were on
their feet making for the speaker.
IF the shoe fits you put it on
retorted Frazier, bracing himself fol
the rush. He was no match for the
crowd and was driven from his
position, but fought desperately tc
the door.
Mr.. Akers next came in for rough
treatment. On being asked by Mrs
Reed if it was not about time fol
him to go out and choke himself tC
DEATH" Akers retorted that Mrs.
Reed had not added anything to her
reputation by going out as street
singer. Miss Holmes demanded
why the men stood silently by and
saw the women insulted. He re-
sponded, and then Mrs. Reed anC
Miss Holmes administered the pun
ishment themselves and tore most OF
Mr.. Akers' beard out of his face.

Items of Interest TO Farmers and
HOrSemen.

The farm is the best place to raise
chickens. They grow quicker, ma
ture earlier and can be raised at less
expense.
The good dairy cow makes a profit
on each dollars worth Of feed, and
the more of suitable food we can get
her to eat the mora profit we are GER
tain to get.
Kill the orchard insects in their
winter quarters. The leaf roller
eggs may be found on the south side
of the trees under little patches
along the trunks and limbs, and may
readily be destroyed by the millions
by rubbing off these patches.
Highest grades of butter can not
be made from heavy feeding OF
either beets or potatoes; but a good
grade of butter, of fine color and
good keeping qualities, follows the
feeding of about 20 pounds of beets
a day. Cows are fond of beets, and
will eat them as long as offered.
1t is very important that the lay
ing hens be furnished lime in some
way, as it goes largely to make ur
the shell. This can be done by
feeding oyster shells or limestone
grit, or where these cannot be had

tity of air-slacked lime with the
morning mash.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1897-03-19


1t is not wise to handle pure bred
fowls only unless one has distinct
taste and capacity for the business.
If the object is eggs and fowls for
market, select large grade hens, of
good laying stock, kill off the scrub
males and procure those of some
valuable, active breed. The result
will be hardy and prolific flock.
There is no reason why farmer
should pay 10 cents for beef and sell
his chickens for less, nor should he
be content with pork and potatoes
when he can have poultry on his
table. If the markets are dull and
prices low, the best place to dispose
of the surplus is at home.
1t is fact that moderate flock
of fowls can return a larger profit
upon the capital invested and labor
required than can any other live
stock. When properly conducted,
poultry keeping is the most profit
able of all the "side issues" or main
issues of the farm.
A careful poultry keeper has found
that by using Leghorns, and keep
ing them in small t1Ocks, he can
produce eggs at an average cost OF
four cents dozen. Doubtless other
breeds will yield as well. What
farm industry will yield a better
profit?
Let the hens go away from the
feed trough in the morning unsatis-
fed, that they may seek their food,
and obtain it grain by grain, engag-
ing in healthy exercise in the pur-
suit. In such circumstances the
food will be passed into the gizzard
slowly and be better digested.

The moisture accumulated during
the winter is in danger of being lost
when the ground is plowed in the
spring, and the subject of spring
blowing is one much discussed,
developing varied opinions. The
weight of testimony is against it,
and, as a rule, one deep blowing in
the autumn is counted sufficient.
Cheap lands are a temptation to
our large farms-toO large for the
good of the owner. In most cases
they would yield double the net
profit if the labor and expense laid
out upon the whole were judiciously
put upon the half. This is a hard
lesson to learn.
There is nothing palmer than that
you can not afford to cultivate wheat
for an average crop. The only wise
thing to do, evidently, is to fit your
land to produce an exceptional crop,
This will certainly pay, and it can
be done.
The chances to make money by
speciality farming do not all lie far
away from your own region. The
same opportunity exists right where
you are, which you imagine can be
found only thousand miles away.
If we will rotate and keep one
fourth of our land in clover and
grass all the time, we will soon be
able to raise more on the three
fourths than we have heretofore
done upon the whole of it. Let us
not stick to our old ways when there
are better ones.
These hard times are under the
guise of blessing, in that it is pos
sible for poor people to get cheap
food. Moreover, in the long run
the cheap prices of cereals may be a
benefit to farming, in that they
compel cheaper ways of production
and stimulate better work. SlipshoC
farmers will be crowded out, anC
only the tittest survive.

Swine.

All runts are not born runts, but
many have their runtiness thrust
upon tLem. In his early life a pig
will go backward or forward very
easily. Almost every pig will make
a good porker if started right. Give
the ruut little lift extra; little
boiled milk several times a day
sometimes works wonders.
Despite the general opinion to the
contrary, corn is an excellent food
for the SOW after she has been bred.
She should carry considerable flesh
when she farrows, and then it will
be easy to carry her along in good
condition during her nursing period
The first three months of a pigs
life settle its worth. The flow of
milk is then at its best, and the
capacity of the youngsters to con-
sumo it is yet slight. Somewhat de-
ponds upon the number of pigs in
the litter. The rub should not come
until they begin to look for sus-
tenance from some outside source.
A stunted pig means many pounds
less pork at 10 months old. Not
only must the right food be given in
sufficiency, but with regularity and
proper frequency. These three
elements always enter into the
making of the pigs, whether we
know it or not. No man can afford
to waste time and money by doing
things in wrong way.
A sow which brings a good litter
of pigs-seven to nine in number
is good, kind and careful mother
and so good a sucker that she will
supply her offspring with plenty Of
milk if she is properly fed, is one Of
the most valuable and profitable
animals on the farm. Usually they
lack in one or more of these virtues
