Agriculture.

How can we help from hoping
that there must come higher prices
for farm products, greater values for
farm lands and better time for the
farmer generally so long as we are
adding two millions to our pOpula-
ton annually-a whole new State?
Lime is almost indispensable
among manures. 1t can almost al
ways be applied to heavy clay lands
with advantage, especially If un-
drained. While it is mechanical in
it's action, it also acts chemically up
on the soils constituents, setting
free food which would otherwise be
locked up.
When holding farm products for a
higher price, the interest must be
counted twice on the value thereof,
often, for with the ready cash the
winters supplies can be all laid in
at great saving. Especially must
we remember that there is no in
crease in profits from stock when
held after they are ready for market.
When the green oats is in the
dough state cut it and cure it for
hay, for it makes a perfect food for
mich cows; and by not threshing

is made. Having this in mind, put
in an extra piece for this purpose
next spring.
Country life today is continually
progressing socially and education
ally; it is now not all grumbling for
the farmer. If it is true that ouI
fathers were more content, it was
because it required less to make
! them so. There was, no doubt, less
worry, less debt, less anxiety and
| jealousy, and with the less desire to
have there was the less temptation
to spend.
Increased yields will compensate
for narrower profits. Soil fertility
and weather are not depressed by
business panics, and will often com
bine at such times to produce larger
crops than in other seasons.

Summer following is particularly
destructive of humus and nitrogen
and, although 1t temporarily puts

There is no better way to prevent
the decline of these valuable ad

farm manure, and rotate the croI

The winter will not last long, and
our thoughts are already on the
garden. The subsequent cultiva.
ton of good garden crop is not
more expensive than of a poor one,
but it is only through the most care
full and painstaking initial work
that the good can be had. Unless
by intensive cultivation the crop is
doubled, the cost is out of proper

Either now or in the spring gather
all the old rubbish available and

There is enough of the residual
effect, in any event, to pay for the

years increase is clear profit. Even
the good effect the third wear is
more than we can imagine.
BY attempting to cover too much
ground the work is only half accom-.
plished, with the result that the
yield is much lessened and the
quality of inferior grade, so that the
return from the large farm in MANY
instances will not cover the cost of
production, while if there should
chance to be surplus, the large
taxes and cost of repairs will devour
1t, and the hard worked farmer has
nothing to show at the end of the
year for all his toll. Many spread
their labOrs over too much land, do

hurried and behind with their work.

to go without any rest nor recrea-

Stock.

Willingly pay literally for good
breeding animals, and continue the
standard by giving the best care and
food. A wise outlay is not extrava-
gance, and there is no money in
following cheap methods with stock.
Wavering methods in breeding
lead you nowhere in particular, and
you labor to no real purpose. Select
and mate your animals with an eve
to an end, knowing what you want
before you begin to breed stock Of
any sort, choosing the exact type
you would reproduce as nearly as
you possibly can.
He is fortunate who il able to
keep a years supply of feed on hand
to tide over the occasional off year

we look into the fodder question the
more one is convinced that if the in
telligent, economical farmer will
save everything which grows on his
farm, suitable for forage, in a few
years he may be independent OF
years of disaster.
Because the animal gets all the
elements essential to his growth
from variety of food there is neces
sarily less waste in so feeding. A
continued ration of single item
will probably supply some elements
to excess, and that which is not

all kinds of stock than the extremes
of weather incident to the opening
of the season. The early storms
play the greatest havoc among the
herds.
There is surer profit in stock than
in grain. Many a farm could carry
twice the mum ger of animals it now
does, and especially can this
capacity be increased by green soil
ing.
We should lose no opportunity to
lay in good breeding stock if we are
to stay in the business, and it Will
not do to delay the matter, for prices
are continually advancing. Good
stock and low prices will give better
results than poor stock and good
prices. b.
Even if one turned all his fields
into pasture end material for ensll-
age and fed it to stock, iJ would not
be an unwise proceeding. Ten acres
of ensilage corn will, if cut at the
right time and put into good sllo,
help wonderfully to solve the prob
lem as to how stock may be kept
profitably.
Irregular feeding disturbS and de-
ranges the. organs of digestion and
assimilation, so that stock fails to
make the most out of the food sup
piled. If food is given before its
regular time there is overlooking,
and the organs are put to work be-
fore they have recovered from the
previous meal; if delayed, the ami
NAL is apt to eat too much and too
rapidly; there is poor mastication
and poor digestion, and there is,
therefore, loss and harm.
The fullest profit follows the full
est judicious feeding, for the profit
comes from the extra food consum-
ed. If we stint ration we fail to
make all which is possible out OF the
food and out of the animal. If we
expect to go to market we must in
no sense spare the feed. We may
expect the most profit from the las'
pound fed.
1t requires good food to make gooC
beef, and varied ration will bring
better than that which is produced
by any one grain only. Cattle may
possibly grow as fat on one kind o
food as on another, but clean, swee
grain will produce the best meat
Unhoused cattle have continu

Poultry.

Always, with any class of hens, a
variety in feed brings the best re-
suits; appetites are renewed and
elements supplied. If they stop lay
ing at this season of the year, which
is the usual thing, change of food
for few days will often start them
into business again.
Crowded quarters is hindrance
all the cockerels should be off to
market by Thanksgiving time, that
the pullets may have better chance
to mature.
Changing fowls from one place to
another will cause them to stop lay
ing, for time, at least. 1t is best
to have them in their permanent
quarters for the winter before they
begin TO lay.
Air Stacked lime should be liber-
ally used as health measure where
large numbers of fowls are cOmpell-
ed to range on a limited enclosure
it will greatly counterfeit the decom-
posing matter which is so deleteri-
Gus. 1t is we'll to scatter it late in
the evening, after the fowls have
gone to rOOst.
The enterprising poultryman will
not indulge in much guessing. He
knows at this time just how m my
pullets he has, how many old hens
are worth keeping over, how much
room he must provide, and what hi;
prospects are.
If one quart of grain at night be
fed to 10 hens, and one pound Of cut
green bone in the morning, it should
be ample for each winters day
Such diet, provides fat, starch, nj
trOgen, phosphates, lime and all the
substances are required to enable
] the hens to lay eggs. A cents worth
of food should thus bring daily egg
worth two or three cents; and the
bone is a cheaper food than the
| grain.

When they had come into his presence, the
facts in the case were made plain, and the

him comfortable sbelter?"

"Have you any complaint of being over,

Horse.

wise man after taking a Whit at his brier
root, "the Peasant exacts a certain amount
of work from the Horse in exchange for

less-he can give no more and come out
even. Tho Horse is dissatisfied, however,
and it is my decision that he be allowed
to go his way. From this time on he must
