which has had its effect in stimulating
prices and making them firm. Buyers
crowd the large stock markets and
many return home without obtaining
what they want. 1t is next to impossi-
BILE to pick up feeders in the country,
for every man who has a few of them
has his price SO high that there seems
no margin in it for the feeder, and feed
ing for fun with some of them has gone
out Of style. Another reason why they
are so scarce on farms is that breeding
focks are scarce, and an order to pick
up any large number of them would
mean a great deal of travelling.

Cold Barns.

Those whose cattle barns are not
warm enough to work in comfortably
without an overcoat and mittens in the
winter, or even without any coat in
ordinary winter weather, may be sure
they are not warm enough for the cows
to do their best in, or for calves and
young stock to grow rapidly without
extra allowance of heating food. Gov
ering up cracks and seeing that Win
dows and doors shut snugly will help
some, but we remember when boy,
and when cows were kept in barn
with unshingled sides and ends, having
to help line the walls back of the stock
with old boards and slabs nailed on the
inside Of the posts and stuffing the space
boards with bog hay, SO that no wind
could come through. Taking out the
old board slide window where the
manure was thrown out into the yard
and putting in a larger half window
from an old building, SO that we had
light enough to take care of the cows
without leaving door or window open,
was another improvement, and all was
done at small expense and but little
labor, which were important consdera-
tons in those days to poor farmers try
ing to do the best they could with what
they had.--Boston Cultivator.

Home-Madc Candies.

Some cardinal points to remember in
the making of candies are that the
finest granulated sugar is preferable
for cooked candies; that sugar for
candy should not be stirred while boil
ing; that butter should not be added
until the candy is almost done; that
cream and fayorings must always be
added after the candy is taken from
the fire or their richness will be lost;
that cream should always be used in
preference to milk; that failing cream,
butter should be substituted; that
pure fruit juices-strawberry, pineap-
pie, lemon and orange-make the best
havoring, and that vegetable colorings
are best In making the colorings, re-
member that blood beetS give Il dark
red color; cranberry juice a delicate
pink fresh spinach, allowed to stand a
day in a tablespoonful of alcohol, gives
a delicate green, and the yolk of egg or
juice of a grated carrot will furnish
yellow.

Tod SIoau's Riding.

The tonic in London is the riding of
the American jockey, Sloan. Thou
sands who only take the most casual
interest in the turf, but are always
attracted by great horsemanship, are
asking expert advice on the intrinsic
merits of the American style of rid
inc. A sportsman has written an IN
structive letter on the subject. lie
says:
"Let me see whether l can give an
exclamation of Sloan's success. In
the first distance l should say he is
man of absolute courage; and it is this
which, combined with kindness, wins
the confidence of all the lower AMI
mails and is the first essential or
good Jockey. Horses are wonderful
Judges Of character. Secondly,
Sloans position, exactly that of
monkey on a stick, does offer less
opposition to the air than the ordi-
nary seat of a horseman. In scien-
tifc phraseology, it diminishes the
friction to Il minimum. Again, this
position enables him to grasp the
reins within a foot of the horse,s
mouth, and the nearer the object to
be guided the more accurately can be
applied the directing force. Thirdly,
Sloan. I am convinced, recognizes the
great fact that if we are either in
train or in conveyance or on horse
back we can become one with the
moving mass if we sit still. This is
proved by the well-known fact that
circus rider does not jump over the
banners; he simply let's his body be-
come a moving mass with the horse,
and as he approaches the banner he
Jumps into the air. The impetus
which he has obtained from the horse
carries him over the banner nearly
as quickly as the horse has travelled,
but if we watch the bareback rider
we shall see that he does not keep
interfering with the horses move
ments. He in effect says the animai
will do his part of the work II left
alone. Those who have watched
Sloan in his races will have noticed
how he jumps off rapidly, and at
once settles down on his horse, and
is not constantly changing his post
ton in the saddle, or interfering with
the special step of the horse; because
it must be remembered that each
horse. like each man, has his or her
special mode of progression. Sloan
simply makes himself one with MS
horse in movement; he does not offend
the naturally sensitive temperament
of such a beautiful creature as
thoroughbred horse: he does not sac
rifice q race for the sake OF making
an artists finish. but with uneQualed

How to Brew Ten.

The chairman of the government
committee of tea experts declares that
few Americans understand how to
make tea or how to obtain the maxi
mum benefit from it, 1t should be
taken between meals and without
much food, when it becomes a harm
less yet powerful tonic. England dis
covered the secret long ago, and hence
the universal custom of the 5 o'clock
tea, midway between the luncheon
and dinner hour. The preparation of
the tea is more important than the
quality, for the best tea badly drawn
is worthless. First, the water must be
fresh; and, second, it must be thor
oughly boiled for ten minutes; third,
the tea must never be allowed to boil
and must never draw over ten minutes,
Prepared in this way, and limiting the
quantity to not more than five cups a
day, 1.-THE world might drink tea for II
century, says the expert. without
feeling any detrimental effect what
ever"

How MANY Fowls i'm a House.

In making preparations for the Win
ter quarters Of the fowls do not commit
the error of crowding thirty into room
only large enough for twenty. One of
the causes of disease is that of crowd
ing the fowls and then attempting to
overcome the evil by ventilation. When
there are too many hens together the
heat of their bodies causes ascending
currents of air, and as the warm air
rises the cold air comes in. If there is
top ventilator the warm air will pass
out at the upper portion of the ventila-
tor, while a current of cold air will also
come in at the lower portion, which
passes over the heads Of the fowls, and
causes the well-known cases of swelled
head and eyes, or leads to roup. No
poultry house will require a ventilator
If the hens are not crowded. A dozen
hens in a house ten by ten feet are
sufficient, and any excess over that
number will render the whole liable to
disease

We like best to receive trees in the
fall, but they should not be planted I'M
til early spring. Trees received this
fall should be buried in a cool, frost
proof cellar, when they will not wither;
or buried outside in a trench in dry
bank. Our method is to dig out a
trench two feet deep, two or more feet
wide, and long enough to hold what
trees we have to carry over. Begin
ming at one end slope the bank so that
when the first trees are laid in slant
ing position the roots will be a foot or
more below the surface level and the
tops Just about on the level. The bun
dies should be opened, the trees laid in
and the roots lightly covered with fine,
mellow earth, care being taken that
every space between the roots and
stems is filled Then another layer is
put in with the roots beyond the first
with the trunks over the roots of them,
covering with the soil as before, and so
on until all are in, then covering the
whole with earth and rounding over
the top so that water will not run into
the trench. This work is best done
early in November.-Farm, Stock and
Home.

Thew Harvest a Hat CrOp.

"Probably one of the most unique
propositions ever heard" said min
ing engineer who recently visited Mo-
jave, twas the story told me by a
storekeeper up there of Dutchman
and Chinese who had a partnership,
and had located 1,500 feet of ground
half a mile southeast Of Mojave. On
this piece Of ground they built high
barbed-wire fence, the wire being very
close together. The inhabitants Won
dered as to the use to which it was to
be put, some suggesting that all the
rabbits in Kern County were to be
driven to it and corralled, and others
that it was a new electric dry-gold
saver to catch the gold as it was
blown with the desert sands. Both
these theories were soon dissipated

Moiave with six barrels of old hats
for shipment to a secondhand dealer

lave has the name of being the wind

blows forty miles an hour in one di-
rection, viz, southeast. Most of the
passengers on the overland trains dine
there. and unless forewarned are very
apt to lose their headgear. They say
that at present half barrel of old

Adantinn Plants to Climate.

Nature always tries to adapt plants
or animals to their environment. The
more hardy or those best adapted to
the climate survive, and thus harder
breeds are established. There's a limit
to this, doubtless though it would be
hard to place it. By growing peach
trees in the North from Northern grown
peach stones we shall be likely to Sc
cure Il harder variety of peach trees
than as if peach trees were grown from
seed produced in the South. Seed corn
grown South will not ripen as early,
and therefore requires longer season
than that grown here. Possibly by
growing some plant not acclimated here
under the most unfayorable circum-
stances we may produce varieties that
will be hardy enough to succeed

GREAT BAPTISM OF FIRE.
The Scourge Of the Land is the Annual Bur.
ming of Forests.

In 1871 Wisconsin had it's greatest
baptism of flame. In four hours Pesh-
tigo, Oconto and Menekaunce were
ohliterated, 400 square miles of terri
tory were converted into smoking
waste and 1900 persons persisted. Yet
in the face of these appalling confia-
grations, and those of 1881 and 1894,
and to-day's tragedy in the Gogebic,
there's not doubt that in 1899 his
tory will repeat itself.
In Finland, where the French GUS
tom of sartage is largely followed I'M
der the name Of kaski, wood is re-
garded as one Of the elements, like
air OF water, and is burned without
stint. The forest is fired to prepare
the ground for tillage. In a year OF
two the land becames hopelessly bar
rem. In India the practice prevails
under the name of koomaree. In the
district of Mysore alone 10000 men
are annually engaged in the grim
work. One or two crops, then a ces-
sation of all vegetation. In Ceylon the
condoned offAlse is known as chena.
In Sweden, under the title of sved, it
is officially permitted once in twenty
years.
1t would seem that sved has become
a state ceremonial in Wisconsin, Mich
igan and Minnesota. In 1910, in
twenty-seven counties Of northern
Wisconsin there was 129,000,000. 900
feet Of standing pine. Up to the pres
ent time about 86,000,000,000 feet of
this has been cut and $4,000, 100000
feet destroyed by fire. Fifty years
ago Michigan boosted of her 0,000,
100000 feet of waving conifers. To-
day but one-fifth Of that remains. In
Wisconsin, while the cut proceeds at
the rate of 2,000,000,0O0 feet per an
num-, the regrowIh is but 100000.
Nothing so far has been done to re-
stock or protect these denuded lands
in our abutting state and Of the IT,
100000 acres of remaining forest, over
one-half is brule and practically
bowling desert. The annual cut of
timber in the three states named
would load a train of full-sized cars
nearly 1000 miles in length. Michi-
gan pine is the most valuable of any
-$467 per 1000 feet, against 81 for
Wisconsin and 1921 for the Minnesota
product. Out of the 29,00O,OOO acres
of privately owned timber lands in
this country, nearly 100000 acres
are located in the lake group of
states.
That fire is the scourge Of the land
the facts recited prove beyond a doubt.
During the last three decades there
has been a compromising increase of
forest loss by fire throughout the en-
tire country of 80 per cent. for each
ten years The farmer must shoulder
the chief responsibility. OF 5000
cases reported nearly one-half were
the result Of brush fires in clearings;
one-fifth were caused by careless
hunters; one-siXth by locomotives, and
thirty-two only were traceable to light
ming.
