Cattle,

Even though be may get it at his
own price, butcher never buys a
poor beef from choice. His best
profit comes from good fattened
animal, and he is willing to pay for
such; therefore, the growers best
profit is to be found in the same.
Box stalls are advantageous on
the score of comfort as we'll as from
the fact that more and better ma
nure can be made by thus having
plenty of room to litter the cattle
freely, and have the liquids as well
as the solids taken up and saved in
the bedding.
Horns are easily bred away, and,
though the process is slow, it is the
better way. A herd of horned cows
was bred to a pOlled bull whose
mother wore horns; 80 per cent. of
the calves had no horns. These
young hornless heifers never had a
horned calf. In the stock-yards we
find the horns gone from nine tenths
of the stock; whether due to the
chemical dehOrner, the saw or to
breeding, it shows that horns are no

never will be again.
1t is Improbable to ship doubtful
stock, for the rigid rules of inspec-
tion are sure to throw them out, and
at loss. Keep. the young. calves
until old enough, and do not ship
any not in good condition and fat
enough to make good meat.
When stock is high and feed is
low it is hard to convince many
farmers that there is more advant-
age in good breeding than in good
feeding; but we can not so success
fully feed animals which are not OF
good blood. Even though fed an ex.
ira amount, poor cattle will not
reach that early maturity nor that
superior quality which is desirable

too cold. If the hive is heavy, fill
the top box with chatf or sawdust,
and they will probably get through
all right. OF course, the better way
is to go through every colony and
learh their exact condition.
A hive full of honey is a good pro-
lection to bees; honey does not
freeze, and this property helps to
protect fruit bloom on frosty nights
One of the advantages from strong
colonies is in their being able to
keep warm enough in cold weather
to move about and procure food. A
very strong colony never gets too
cold to move about slowly over the
comb. The cluster will have moved
perceptibly every day if you ex-
anime it. ..4. .....
To feed bees in September is far
better than to feed them during the
winter. Feed them while it is so
warm that they can seal over their
stores, and then for their winter food
they will have thoroughly sealed
honey or the best class. For feed
ing use the very best of granulated
sugar.
Toads are useful things in the gar
den, but keep them away from the
bee hives. If the hives are set near
the ground it is possible you will
find a toad or two watching at the
entrance in the evening as the lad
ened bees come home, and you may
possibly also see their long tongues
shoot out and gobble in every bee al
it alights. Open their otOmachs and
see what may be found there.

1t will be long time before the
old husking peg is hung up for a
relic, for yet the corn grower can
often store his corn cheaper by its
use than in any other way; but the
power corn husker is no longer an
experiment, and its practical utility
has been demonstrated.
Many farms should be profitable
which are.not; the expense of culti-
vation,and of marketing is too great.
Speed the day when our roads will

Every little Increase in yield re-
duces the cost of production. One

More hay and grass and less grain
make the farm easier to handle, and
in the end give quite as much profit.
One reason is that it, leads, to the
keeping of more stock, and, there
fore, brings the land up to, higher
fertility and greater productive
capacity.
There is as much to gain by SOW,
ing thoroughbred grain as in breed
ing Thoroughbred stock. We are
too careless about our seed, especi
ally our WI eat. When we get hole
of variety which comes near per
lection in our locality we shoulC
keep it and breed up by selecting
seed each year from the best part o.
our fields, tbrashing it by itself
We should be no more willing tC

If wheat is to follow corn, W.
should remember when preparing
for corn that we are also preparing
for wheat. We should see to it tina

weeds killed, that when seed tim
comes we may have a good, clean

There have been produced varie

How the Emperor of China Eats.

The bill of fare for the day is made
out long in advance, and, therefore, it
happens that fruit and vegetables may
have been in season for weeks before
the Emperor is allowed to eat them
Everything which goes on the imperial
table is served in duplicate-two bowls
of soup, two fowls, etc. A court physi-
clan watches him while he eats, and if
he seems to be especially fond of any
one dish the court physician touches it
with a wand and an attendant whisks
it away. That dish seldom appears on
the imperial table again. The Emperor
is fond OF good living, and the expenses
of the imperial kitchen are enormous,
but his feasts are of the Barmecide
character tor all that. The principal
articles of the Emperor's diet are speci-
fed by law. He is to have set before
him each day thirty pounds of roast
meat and seven pounds made into soup.
He is also to have each day a pound of
hogs fat or butter and the milk of eight
cows. If he so desires he can order
each day two sheep, two fowls and two
ducks, while seventy five parcels of tea
are daily set aside for his use. And yet
he frequently goes away from the table
hungry because of the watchful eye of
the court physician.-New York Press.

horticulture.

Horticulture.
EarlIness of the fruit is one of the
rewards from keeping a strawberry
bed in bearing more than two years
but if by moving and burning we
can keep down the weeds. insects
and rust, the labor saved by preserv.
ing the bed which bore this year, in
stead of blowing and resetting, then
waiting another year for the fruit, is
an important item. 1t is then easy
to cultivate between the rows and
sow fertilizer in the spring.
In any kind of weather it is bene-
fetal, and in a dry season almost
necessary, to mulch young fruit
trees. If the soil about fruit trees
just set out is covered with straw or
other mulch for ten feet all around
them it will be a rare case where
they fail to live and make a good
growth.
If you can get your strawberry
plants in the fall, taking them, up
from the old bed with ball of earth,
you can have good crop'neXt June,
for they will make almost as good
start as pot grown ones. OF course,
much depends on care, protection
and nOurishment.
Arbor vitae plants, when set out
for hedge, should be small and
should be kept well headed and
trimmed low until the bottom is well
filled, or they will never look well
afterward. Cultivate them and ma
nure them occasionally.
Ground about fresh planted shrub
berry will puddle if mulch is not first
placed about it; then little water
supplied will do more good than
double the quantity without a pro-
lection to the ground.
Clip all low shoots from honey
suckles and other vines; this will
encourage upper growth, will make
them neater in appearance, and will
not provide harbor for reptiles.
Place laGhs, closely woven with
wire, about young trees when plant
ing them; this will protect from the
bOrer, sun scald, rabbits, mice and
the careless plowman. The tree will
take care OF itself by the time the
laths rot away.
A large percentage of trees planted
along the roadside are killed by mice
which harbor at their roots. In the
autumn dig the sod away and throw
low mound of earth about the
roots, and then remove the mound
in the spring, if very high.
Prune the grapes in November or
December, and then lay them on the
ground, covered with something that
will protect them from the sun. Let
this covering not be of such a nature
as 70 invite the mice, for they often
play havoc if grass lands are near.
| Plums need moisture, and clay
soil holds more moisture than does
any other kind. Low, wet soil will
grow no rlums of any kind, and a
sandy soil harbors too many insects /;
the curculio is fostered in all kinds
of soil of light texture. Not the
least necessary precaution is to have
the rich clay soil we'll drained. Cul
.ivate the ground during the early
summer as carefully as you would
corn, and then apply thick mulch
about July to hold the moisture. A
little salt sown in the spring will
promote growth and health, and
drives away many insects.
Moisture, in connection with heat
will hasten decomposition in fruit
To keep the apples in winter, they
should be stored in a dry, even, cool
atmosphere, a few degrees above the
freezing point.
