In cases Of scanty pastures an effort
must be made to have a supplementary
food Of such character that it will keep
up the strength of the animal as we'll as
the milk supply and at the smallest pos
sible expense During this season COWS
should be closely watched so that they
do not draw on their reserve supplies of
energy and strength to keep up the milk
flow, for a cow in such condition is hard
to bring up again. Some ensilage, root
crops in moderation, sOiling crops, and
the grains which experience has proven
the best, are the supplementary foods
to use during the summer.

Range for Fowls.

It is claimed that ten geese will eat
as much grass as a COW and that 200
hens will destroy the grass on an acre
of ground. This is probably all true,
and 1t emphasizes the fact that fowls
have need Of the range. Grass is the
cheapest food that the farmer can grow
for either fowls or animals and they
should not be denied an abundance Of
this cheap, nutritious and wholesome
food.

Sea Water Gold.

The recent sea water gold humbug is
not new thing. It has been known
for long time that the sea water con-
tains gold and in amounts so vast as to
be incalculable, Many thousand times
more gold is held in the waters of the
seas than is contained in the land. But
the waters Of the ocean are so vast and
the proportion of gold in them so small
that no process can be devised for ex
tracing 1t except at enormous loss.
Those who invested in that speculation,
like those who invested in Letter wheat,
have their reward in seeing their money
so glimmering, but they may still profit
from their experience II they learn
therefrom that seeking for gold through
all visionary speculation is but a delu-
sion and a snare.

Poultry Pointers.

To raise flock of strong, healthy tur-
keys new males should be introduced
each year and they should not be related
to the hens. 1t is also necessary to limit
the number Of hens with each male Ten
or a dozen will be ample and fewer
would be better.
Bear in mind that crowded quarters
for poultry mean disease and insects,
to say nothing Of general discomfort
Fowls are companiOnable, but not to the
extent of being crowded, especially when
rOOsting. II large flocks are kept, suit
able buildings must be supplied to ac-
commodate them. A building 10x12 is
about right for a dozen mature fowls,
and it must be so located that it is per-
fectly dry.
For the best egg production hens
should be partially confined and fed with
grains, mashes, grit and green foods
with more or less meat scraps, and in
all cases, except with mashes, the food
should be scattered among litter or over
the ground to make the fowls scratch
for 1t. The mashes should be fed on
clean boards and all not eaten should
be at once removed. When for any
reason the food Is changed it should be
gradually done to avoid a falling of
in egg production.
To a certain extent it is possible to
control egg production; that is, the sup
ply during fall and winter may be re-
duced and production in the spring in
creased. This is not particularly desir-
able unless the spring supply is needed
for Matching purposes. All that is re-
Qlired is to feed the hens all the corn
they will eat. This will induce fat, and
fat hen rarely lays.
All nest boxes and roosts should be
arranged so that they may be easily
moved, and the boxes should be set on
or near the floor so that there will be
no temptation for the hens to use them
as roosts. Nest boxes should be cleaned
out every week and the hay or other
material in them burned. Kerosene or
whitewash should be freely used in nest
boxes and around rOosts, winter and
summer, to destroy vermin.

Cherries.

\ It is encouraging to note the increased
paintings Of cherry orchards as indl-
Gated by orders received for large num-
ibers Of trees by nurserymen throughout
the country. There are few orchard
crops that viii pay the profit year in
and year out that cherries will, and the
trees are subject to the attacks of fewer
diseases and insects than any others.
The one possible objection to the cul-
ture of cherries has been the ravages
OF birds, but this can be somewhat rem
cdied by planting the outside rows for
the benefit of the birds. When this is
done they will rarely attack the fruit
on the trees in the middle of the or
Chard
The best soil for cherries is an ordi-
nary rich garden soil that is not wet.
The larger growing trees, Hearts and
Bigarreaus, the sweet kinds, should be
set twenty feet apart, and the sour
Kinds, Dukes and MOrellOs, twelve to
fifteen feet apart each way. Among the
best of the sweet varieties are Governor
Wood, large yellow with red flush,

Pure-bred Poultry.

The Armour Packing Co. dresses
from 5000 to 5000 chickens a day. They
say that pure-bred are far superior to
common chickens in plumpness, full
ness of breast, smooth skin and yellow
legs. And they pay cents a pound
more for the pure-bred than for the
common stock. They advise farmers
who raise chickens for the market to
keep only pure-bred males Of the best
varieties, such as Plymouth Rocks,
Wyandottes or Indian Game. The
farmer who keeps the pure-bred gains
in two ways: they are larger and weigh
more, and he gets several cents more
pound for them.

TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.

Many times women call on their fam
lily physicians, suffering, as they i'm
agine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid
ney disease another from nervous eX-
haustiOn or prostratiOn, another with
pain here and there, and in this way
they all present alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent, or
over-busy doctor, separate and distinct
diseases, for which he prescribes his
pills and potions, assuming them to be
such, when, in reality, they are all only
symptoms caused by some womb dis
ease. The physician ignorant af the
cause encourages his practice until
large bills are made. The suffering pa
tient gets no better, but probably worse,
by reason of the delay, wrong treat
ment and consequent complications. A
proper medicine, like DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription, directed to the
cause would have entirely removed the
disease, thereby dispelling all those dis
tressing symptoms, and instituting COM
fort instead of prolonged misery.

Poultry In Towns.

It is said that one-third Of the poul-
try in this country is owned and kept
in the cities, towns and villages, and 1t
is also claimed that the poultry raised
in town Is better than that kept in the
country because the persons who keep
poultry in the towns are more particu-
lar to have their stock pure-bred than
the farmers. AS the pure-bred weighs
the heaviest and brings much higher
price in the market and is just as easy
to raise as the common fowl, 1t is far
better for farmers as well as town peo-
pie to keep only the pure-bred stock.

Kansas Cows.

The Kansas Agricultural College has
taken up a new line of experiment, and
we shall watch with much interest for
the results. They have purchased a
herd of good average Kansas cows,
weighing from 1000 to LOO pounds,
and not particularly of the dairy type
as 1t is understood, but such as many
good farmers in that State and others
must rely for their principal stock

Rape grows rapidly and is usually ready
for pasturing in six weeks from the time
the seed Is put in, giving a crop at a
time when other pasturage is thin and
brown. It should be remembered that
rape is in no sense a hay crop. It be-
longs to the turnip family and cannot
be cut and dried for feeding purposes,
but as a late pasture for sheep it is
probably unsurpassed.

Dwarf Essex Rape.

Shown here is a plant of the English

especially for sheep 1t may be sOwn on
land that has been profitably cropped
at comparatively small expense. In the
North seed may be sOwn in August, and
in the South as late as October, for win,

results, about three pounds of seed be-
ing sufficient for an acre Of ground.

FAIR GIRL GRADUATES.
Preparations For the High
School Commencement
at the Academy.

There are two large classes graduating
from the High School this year, the Janu-
airy and June class of '9S, about seventy
five members in all. The exercises are to
be held at the Academy of Music on the
evening of June q, and though the pro-
ann is not yet complete there will be
from seven to ten essays by the pupils.
Miss Elizabeth Briggs will deliver the
valedictory and Miss Christine Catrevas
the salutatory address for both classes.
Then there are the honors, Misses Eva
Glasford and Estelle Halsey taking first
and third for the January class, and
Misses Tillie Pierson n May Rankin
first and second honor for the June class.
The third honor lies between Miss Ella
Mulry and Mr.. Wilbur Wilding, both OF
whom will read essays. Miss CatrevaS
took second honor for the January class.
The programme for these commence
ment exercises will be very interesting,
not a small feature of which will be the
school choir: It was for this feature,
principally, that the Academy was so de-
sirable. as the pupils sit on a high eleva-
ton consisting of tiers of seats arranged
after the manner of those seen at a circus,
and therefore a very high ceiling is neces-
sary. The music is to be very fine. The
reception and dance which follows the
exercises will be held the same evening,
or it may be the following morning. at
Hasbr0uck Hall.
Among the graduates Of the January
class are:-Misses Minnie @. Blizzard,
Halsey. Eleanore Betz, Hattie Wolburg:
