HERE AND THERE.

No dog should be permitted to In
terview a milch cow. The one hereto
fore used rs q labor-saver in driving
up the cows in the evening should be
totally abolished.
Until pigs are six or eight months
old there should be no other thought
in the raising of them than how to
make them grow. Any surplus fat at
this time is in the way.
Those who want good crop OF
lambs in the spring must have their
ewes in good condition for and during
the winter. a handful of grain and
one Of cotton seed to each one daily in
bad weather will tell on the crop.
When prices rule high there may
be some margin in growing almost
any sort of an animal, but when the
opposite is the case, and poor stock
goes for a song, one sees the advan-
tsge in having something good to sell.
The plan for raising ones own
cattle on the farm where they are to
be fed for shipment is in keeping with
the crop rotation system which is
bound to assert itself on every farm.
This rotation il to become largely one
OF grains and grasses.
If you keep dates Of breeding
YOU will give better attention to the
animal. If you have only grades, but
are grading up, the pedigree becomes
important with every cross. This is
one OF the little, easy things too often
neglected.
-Croaking has much to do with the
hard times. The majority Of farmers
and laboring men Of this country live
like princes, compared with their
brethren across the ocean; they wastn
every day that for which men, women
and children labor in the fields to save
in many lands.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Tbe Value Of Farnsrs' Institutes Depsad
Upon the Manner In which the
FArmsrs Take Hold Of Then.

| The value of farmers institutes
taries with the manner in which they
Are conducted. The fundamental con-
|ception is that meetings of farmers
are 30 De held in various localities in .
state, and men skilled in the sciences
related the agriculture and in their
practical application are invited to
meet the farmers and discuss with
them those matters of special inter-
est in their respective localities
These scientific men are usually par
ties connected with the agricultural
colleges, experiment stations and
agricultural departments OF the
states. Others, of course. may be in
yited. The expenses of such men are
to be paid by the state, and in case OF
invited experts from outside the state
some additional remuneration may
have to 1e given. To make an insti-
tute really successful the farmers
themselves must take hold of it in
earnest and come prepared not to ac-
cept b!iadly all the teachings of the
scientists, nut to question them close
", especially in regard to the apPlica-
ton of the principles taught. For
principle may be entirely sound and
the mode in which it is applied be
very faulty. The practical expert
ence of the farmer must keep the
scientist from pushing his principles
too far or attempting their applica-
ton in cases in which they are not
practically applicable. The realgoodt to
be derived from such meetings is as
much dependent upon the farmers
US upon those who are in
vited to meet them. The awakening
of thought and the directing it into
rev channels may lead to very valua-
BE results. The farmers are especial
" favored by the willingness Of states
to appropriate money to defray the
expenses OF such institutes. No other
class OF citizens have such favor
shown them. Whilst the funds appro-
priated may be from tax on fertiliz-
ers, which the farmers are supposed
to pay, no part Of professional taxes.
or taxes on merchantile goods or any
other tax, is ever set apart for the
special benefit of the parties who pay
them. But the favor is probably prop
erly bestowed, because farmers have
little invisible property and proper
tionately pay more taxes than any
other class Of citizens.-Dixie Farmer.

uNDoING OF Mr.. ANGLoSID1.
Hu~ero.s Incident Of City street
Car Travel. with = Good
Moral.

Cholly .Angloside daintily turned AZ
his trousers before entering State
street car. Cholly was unfortunate in
that pecuniary difficulties compelled
him to mlngle with the common herd
don't you know" Close behind him fol-
lowed a humble ard inferior associate,
and as there was just seating room for
two, the men were quick to appropriate
it. The car filed rapidly, members o'
the laboring world predominating
much to Angloside's disgust. Near
Twelfth street n work-stained woman
entered, carrying a huge basket o.
clothes, and finding every seat taken,
she Joined the crowd in the middle of
the car, Each time the door was opened
by a new passenger the woman emitted
a hacking cough. and it was plain to
see that the basket in her tired arms
grew heavier with each jolt OF tho
car. Mr.. Angloside's inferior associate
was growing uneasy at the sight. an.!
finally the man in him overcame tn:
imitation Of Anglo-canine. and. rising
he courteously offered the woman q
seat.
A bright-cyed girl, watching the pro-
cedure, enthusiastically followed the
example; she, too, arose. and lifting the
woman's heavy basket placed it ON
the seat she had vacated. The little
drama was presently interrupted ~
the entrance of a stunningly we'll
gowned woman. who swept into the
car, and adjusting her veil. stopped jus,
in front CT Cholly. Having suffered
considerably from ''nympholepsy'
Cholly considered this new proof OF
his charms. and instantly jumping ur
he made the lady low bow and begged
her to accept his seat.

q sweet southern accent. and, languid-
" removing her veil. Cholly was con-
fronted with a shining ebony and most

laugh which followed did not so0thc
