FUTURE OF FARMING.
The BugaboO of OverproductiOn Ex-
lists Only in the Minds OF I'M
thinking Pessimists.

An extensive agricultural area, cheap
lands and improved machinery have en-
abled US to increase the agricultural
products of the country, until, in view
of low prices, filled cribs and grooming
granaries, we have sometimes con-
Guided that there was a permanent
condition of over-production. But pop
ulation, as well as production, is in
creasing. Careful computation of the
probable additions to our population
makes it certain that with our present
methods, and with all our land that
now seems available for tillage, this
country cannot produce enough to feed
its people 25 or 80 years hence.
The statistician of the department
of agriculture estimates that in 1881
the population of the United States
viii be 13O,OOo,oOO; and it is a conserva-
tive estimate. To supply the require
ments of this number of people will
necessitate the production of 700, 000,-
900 bushels of wheat, ], $50 200, 900 bush
els of oats, 1850, 00O, coo bushels of corn
and 10000, 600 tons of hay. If we pro-
duce this immense quantity of food
products for man and beast, under our
present system, we must bring under
cultivation 100000 acres more land
than we now cultivate; and it is esti-
mated that we have only los. 100000
acres of new land that is available for
farming purposes.
There is no doubt, however. that I'M
der pressure of necessity, millions OF
acres which are now deemed worthless,
or comparatively so, would be TILED,
with reasonable profit; and there is
no doubt that under such conditions
our farming would be much more in
tensive. So while there Will be no dan
ger of scarcity of food, agriculture
will be one of the most profitable of

SELL MATURED STOCK
There's No Pront in keeping catsEg'
or Hogs After They Have Besn
Faftened Fairly Wen.

There is no profit in keeping any kind
OF stock when they have been f9ttenez
for the market; the retention OF cattle
or hogs that have reached a point " aeEss
every ear of corn serves OILY to main
tain their present condition IS unWlse
and improbable. When they are fat
sell them; YOU canDot afford to con-
tinue feeding them in anticipation o.
higher prices, regardless of the cheap
ness of the feed. If a hog is fat and
ready for market at 200 pounds sell
him, as no appreciate gain can be
made after this period has been
reached. on the other hand there Is
some danger of the animal going back,
or losing fat; so it is best to place the
stock on the market after the finish
ing touches have been put on, and yield
not to the temptation, which is strong
one, TO hold on for better prices, which
may and may not be received.
If cattle and hogs have been judi
ciously fed and are of good breeding
they will nearly always bring a re-
munerative price and pay handsomely
for the labor and expense involved IN
their preparation for the market.

this is one of the places where it is pos

act in this regard as advised is that the
little trouble of getting a car, load

shipment frightens them and they are
content to sell to the local buyer at
less money than undergo the trouble
and receive higher prices-Farmers'

How General Rutherford B. Hayes
Got Into a TfckIish Situation
and Out Again.

An interesting war story was told re-
Gently by a man who took part in a
meeting on board the steamer Sylvia
coming from Porto Rico to New York
The chief speaker in the party was Maj.
Webb C. Hayes, son of the late presi-
Debt, who has been recently made lieu
tenant colonel of the Thirty-frst IN

British military attache. and third

had been speaking of luck in war, and
the major remarked:

unlncky. I've been in number of bat
ties and in every one I've been wound
ed or had my horse wounded. None of
my wounds, however, has been grave
enough to disable me permanently
Capt. Paget, who has witnessed or
taken part in 20 wars, said: 81 suppose
that I'm rather lucky, because I've had
very much the same experience and am
alive to-day, while most of my old col
leagues have passed away"

DEwEY's FIRE.
How the Admiral ERectuaJIy
Quenched a Threatened Blaze
on ShfDboard in 'O5.

President Brown, of Norwich univer-
sity, the military school at Mortified,
Vt, was formerly a naval officer, and
is a warm friend of Admiral Dewey.
He recently told the story of an anus
ing experience which fell to the lot
of Admiral Dewey while he was serv-
ing as executive officer of the Colorado
at the close of the civil war.
"a new officer on board a Ship said
President Brown, lis put through a
course of spouts' by the 'jackies'--
the common sailors-who are pretty
skillful at that sort of hazing. It is
often disagreeable and embarrassing
for the new officer, but the sailors usu-
ally manage it so c1everly that they
keep within the regulations.
Zone of the rules on board ship is
that the men shall not carry matches.
A lantern is kept burning for the con-
venience of smokers.
LAS young Dewey came on deck early
one morning, one of the Colorado's
toughest characters said to a shipmate
who was confined with him in the brig,
or ships prison, in a tone loud enough
for Dewey's ear:
Bill, I've got some matches in my
pocket, and I've a blamed good notion
to burn this old ship under his feet
Dewey didn't say word, but imme-
diately turned on his heel and rang the
fire-beIl, at the same time calling out:
Fire in the brigl'
'fSuch an alarm, so early in the morn
ing, before the men had tumbled out
of their quarters, was unweIcome, but
in a few seconds the decks swarmed
with half-dressed sailors, who manned
the four powerful fre-nozzles which
protected the brig.
'Of course Dewey, as executive officer,
directed the streams, and in few mo-
ments two very wet, very cold, very

knew his father, the president, during
the civil war, where he was one of the
bravest generals. He was certainly I'M
lucky in many things, but very lucky
in not being killed. He frequently led
forIorn hopes or maintained desperate
defenses in which the loss of life was
appalling, but he came out without
scratch. He told me once of an expert
ence in the Lynchburg campaign which
L shall never forget.
'The unioEists had been outnum-
bered and probably 'outmaneuvered and
were falling back, pursued by the con
federates. Hayes was ordered to hold
the enemy in check in a narrow valley
until the artillery and supply wagons
were safe He promptly intrenched
himself and erected barricades of logs
and stone fences. He had Gen. Hast
ings to hold one side of the gorge and
Maj. William Mckinley, now president,
to hold the center. The night wore on
and soon the firing began.
Suddenly Gen. Hayes saw men
wounded and staggering in front of one
of his barricades, and in the darkness
took them for his own soldiers. He or
dered the firing to cease, and ran him
self out of the line to save them as far
as he could. A few feet from a cannon
he heard man moaning. He picked
him up and carried him within the lines

MILK FOR POULTRY.
At One Cent a Gallon 1t Is the Cheap
est Food That the Farmer
Can Secure.

Milk is an excellent poultry food, fed
in any way. 1t is the cheapest animal
food that you can buy if you can get
it for one cent a gallon, says Farm
Poultry. Recent experiments have
proved it to be one of the best hot
weather animal foods for chicks or
laying fowls. It is, however, consid-
cred necessary to supply some addi-
tionaI meat food to get the best re-
suits in eggs. The milk could be fed
daily and the meat twice a week, and
good results follow. Beef plucks are
an exceptionally good and cheap meat
food. They are much cheaper than
bone. We should feed milk and beef
pluck, and would consider that we were
getting our animal food very cheap.
You can feed the plucks to best ad-
vantage by varying the manner of pre-
pairing. Probably they will be best
when cooked. The best way to prepare
plucks to have them keep sweet will
be to run them through a meat cutter
or sausage machine and then boil the
minced meat Skim off all the fat and
strain the soup after cooking meat
thoroughly. Use the liquor for mixing
mash. The cooked meat, after being
well drained, should be well dried in a
moderate oven. If properly prepared
it will keep some time. It should be
kept in a cool, dry place and out of the
way of insects. We would not prepare a
very large quantity, as it is liable to
ssheat.'' We have had no trouble keep
ing meat so prepared for month, even
in hot weather. It must be thoroughly
dried or it viii spoil.
