kept 6fty-two Cor more) weeks, begging
for buyer even at small price, it is
not 30 profitable as it would have been
to have paid the service fee Of the really
excellent sire and raised an animal that,
on his own merits, would find ready
purchaser at q good price as soon as
old enough to use. Don't breed for
speed alone If you are not rich enough
to afford to lose the time and bear the
endless expense that this incurrs. The
mere fact that some distant "aunt's sis
ter" (ancestor) once won race, or
went fast mile, is poor guaranty
that your colt will win money on the
race track. If breeding for speed,
breed from speed, or animals intensely
speedy bred, or both speedy and speedy
bred. 1t should certainly be speedy
breeding. But all breeders, even the
most careful and studious of breeding
problems, meet many disappointments
and encounter failures to realize their
expectations.
Although it is usually considered
that the "colt is bred" when and where
the sire and dam are mated, if preg-
nancy follows, we think it might prop
erly be considered that breeding con-
tinues until the colt is born. How
ever, we will take the common view
and consider the mare with foal, and
from this stage consider the process as
raising the colt.

Current Comment.

CoRN.--The market is quiet, with prices
the same as last week.
OATs.-There is quiet tone to the trade,
but the market is steady, and prices hold
about the same.
BEANS. - There has been little change
during the pas week Receipts are light
and demand slack.
FLoUR.-There has been a steady tone to
the market and prices hold up well, but the
general volume Of business has been slow.
PoTAToEs The weather has been so cold
and stormy that very few potatoes have
been moved. Receipts have been moderate
however, and prices have been held as last
quoted.
CHEESE Receipts for export $50 boxes.
The market has been very quiet for the past
week. Demand is confined to small lots
for immediate use and prices are only fairly
sustained.
HAY.-The demand is slow. Choice hay
steady in price, but the supply of common
grades is yet excessive and the market is
weak for such, with the price in favor OF
the buyer.
WooL.-"That tired feeling" has hit the
Boston wool trade in spots. In spite OF the
strength of the statistical position OF wool,
in spite of higher foreign markets, prices in
the United States are off and the market is
easier.
BUTTKR.-There has been but little doing
for the past week Strictly fine fresh stock
has kept fairly well sold up however, and
prices are well sustained on this grade, but
for everything under the finest the market
is dull and weak.
LUMBER.-There are some few boards
wanted, but trade is light as one might ex-
pect. Some little call is witnessed for hem
locks, while pine and spruces are rather
neglected. Very little interest is shown in
short lumber. Shingles are quiet, but
al;O 10 tn ba nOtpd for planbOariS.

Hiring Farm Help.

1t is always best to employ only eff
ticient help on the farm. A few dol
lars extra month will be repaid many
times over in the course of the year by
the difference in the work between a
flrst-class hand and an inefficient one,
and it costs as much to board one as
the other. A careful man, who has
judgment and uses it in doing his
work, will save his employees a great
deal in the use of tools alone in a sim
gle season. The careless inexperienced
hand will break and injure the imple-
ments he uses far more than good
hand will. 1t does not take many
breakages to come to as much as
mans wages for month.
There is also great advantage in en-
ploying competent men if the farmer
wishes to leave home occasionally. He
can feel that the work will go ON in his
absence the same as if he were there.
If anything gives out his man will
know how to repair the breakage. His
judgment can be relied upon as to how
much team should do in day, and he
will see that they do it. A man who is
kind and careful in handling horses is
worth more than one who is the re-
verse. Very few farmers care to hire
rough talking, swearing man. Good
ones can be found who will be choice
in their language. Certainly we may
expect that he whom we are to have
about the house, who will eat at the
same table as his employers family,
will not be uncouth in table manners.
There are very many farm hands who
are so disgusting in their table habits
as to be repulsive to refined person.
1t is not at all necessary to hire such.
After years of experience in managing
a farm requiring great deal OF hired
help, find that it is not difficult to OBJ
tain desirable help. If inducements
by way of good wages, fair treatment,
and not too long days in the field are
accorded, which any intelligent farmer
is perfectly willing to give to the right
person, one will never have any trouble
in securing the class of help he would
like.
1t never pays to exact too much of
help. They will become dissatisfied at
unjust demands, and the employer is
certain to be the loser in the end.
Most men will work cheerfully and
heartily as long as they feel that moth
Ing unrehSOnaDle Is asked OI lneu-
but all will rebel at injustice. Nine or
ten hours in the field is enough for
man or team. Most farmers have
chores enough to fill out the days
work sufficiently then. When a salts
factory man is found it is not best to
let him 90 if little extra inducement
will persuade him to stay longer. A
man needs to work more than a single
season to become familiar with his en-
poyer's methods of work. The longer
he remains the better hand he will be.
Hiring by the year is perhaps the most
satisfactory. OF course this can not be
done with all help, as the summer re-
quires extra help. But wherever prac-
ticable, secure the same help for sue
ceeding seasons when you find reli-
able one. This is as beneficial to the
farmer as to the merchant, who finds
his clerks far more valuable to him the
longer they stay. The trouble is, that
the best hired men soon go TO farming
for themselves

E HANOVER, N. H., Feb. 26, 1897.
Gents:-Yours of February ooh ask
ing for my experience with Kow Kure,
is at hand. will say that l have a
herd of fifty cows, and among them
a fine thoroughbred Guernsey heifer
that cost me large sum. She dropped
her first calf at eight months, and she
had been bred every three or four
weeks for about twenty months. A
friend gave me can of Kow-Kure. l
had no faith in it, but gave it to my
foreman with instructions to try it.
He fed the COW tablespoonful each
day for a week or 80. She was bred
and turned out to pasture, as she was
then dry. She is heavy with calf and
will come in " in about two months.
This winter we had Jersey COW,
the hair looked bad, she was not do
ing well. The foreman gave her
Kow-Kure four to six times, and she
increased in her milk from Is to "a
pounds per day.
Now if any cow in the herd is not
doing well order Kow-Kure at once.
You see my faith has changed.
