Bad Result of Poor Policy.-For
two years past at least very large
number of farmers have felt morally
certain that good colts would be re-.
munerative, and yet their situation
was such that they were wholly un-
prepared to produce them. If during
the period of depression the horses on
the farms of the west had been culled
down so that nothing but good breed
ing stock was retained, the work on
the farm would have been just as well
done. and even although the farmer
during the period Of depression might
have felt unwilling to pay service fees,
still with dawning of better times in
the industry he would have been in
position to take advantage Of the PROS
pective demand and begin breeding
horses at once. Instead Of this, how
ever, 1t was the best stock that was
sold off the farms in the majority OF
cases and the poor stun was retained,
with the result that very few farmers
are now in a position to breed for two
or three good colts in a year, even
though satisfied that it would pay to
do Sex.

Yolk Of the Egg.-The yolk situated
in the center Of the egg as far as pos
sible, is of a very valuable character,
being composed of albuminous sub
stances, fat and has also contained a
small proportion OF mineral salts. 1t
is doubtless known by the keen observ-
er that the odoriferous aroma given on
from rotten egg owes its origin chief
ly to the decay of the yolk. which, con-
tanning, as it does sulphur, gives on
sulphuretted hydrogen, also noticeable
in decaying vegetables. Altogether the
albuminoids from 1871 per cent, fats
liz per cent, and salts or mineral
matter l per cent.-Ex.

A Money Making Horse.-Hamble-
tonian 10 is familiar name to horse
men, but how many know the princely
sum he earned for his owner? The
grand old horse was twenty years in
service and his earnings, beginning
with $425, in the year 1852, gradually
mounted until the year 1865, when he
earned his maximum, $4,000, then
gradually declined to $4,000 in 1872.
The grand total amounted to $2G7 200,
and the number of his foals was 1885.
Who can estimate the value of good
sire? 1t is related of his owner that,
during the earlier years Of HANDLE
tonian, he was poor man and with
difficulty escaped having his farm sold
to satisfy a mortgage. His friends ad-
yised him to sell his "Abdallah colt"
but his reply was II am too poor to
sell SO good colt. My wife and l
believe he will some day pay our debts
and save our home, but II we sell him
the sheriff will sell our home" His
expectations were realized and the ABB
dallah colt not only lifted the mort
gage but earned fortune for Mr..
Rysdyk.-Ex.

Recent experiments have shown that
skimmilk is very valuable food for
young chicks, but becomes less valu-
able as the chicks get older, though
there is no doubt that skimmilk Is al
ways valuable as a food. But for
young growing chicks it seems to be
more than ordinarily valuable. When
added to the ration for chicks 1t in
creases the consumption of other foods
given. The farmer almost always has
a bcuntiful supply Of skimmilk, at least
so far as the demands for feed for
the chicks is concerned. Meat and
milk as part of the ration of the chicks
will cause a rapid growth and this Is
of great Importance when We are try
ing to get fall layers.
In experiments made In 1897 and
1898 at the Indiana Experiment Sta
ton 40 young chicks were divided into
two equal lots both as to number and
weight. They were fed on ground
food, with green grass, cabbage, rape
and lettuce. Both lots were treated
alike with the exception that one lot
had skimmilk and the other did not.
At the end Of AZ days Tin 1889 the lot
without milk had gained 124 ounces.
and the lot with milk had gained 23O
ounces. In the experiment of the year
before, one lot without milk gained
1925 ounces in the same time that the
lot with milk gained 1855 ounces The
cost of the total food was greater with
the milk than without it. but this
was more than made up by the fact
that the cost of one pound of grain
was much less in the case of the chicks
that had skimmilk.

The Velvet Bean.

Rev. G. w. Campbell called at thh
Signal Office Tuesday with the root Oh
the velvet bean plant which he plant
ed in his yard early in the spring.
The root was an exceptionally heavy
one, and betokens the plant most
hardy one. From one bean vine
grew that covered a fence forty feet
long and six feet high, then spread
ing out laterally.
For farmers having stock no better
forage could be found than this plant.
It spreads SO rapidly and needs so
little attention that it pays well. The
beans should be PCT in the ground
several feet apart, and after good
growth has been attained the stock
can be turned in on it without
preventing further growth. It is
continually putting out new shoots
and would afford fresh forage all the
time. The stock also relish it when
dried. Like the COW pea, it can be
cut and stacked and used during the
winter. An acre planted to velvet
beans will afford feed for good
many cattle. 1t is worth trying.
The cattle like it better than hay, and
it produces better results. Crowley

gentleman is disposed to accept this

is over I will be ready to be buried
with him in one grave" It is not an
of thing for European OF American
girls to advertise for husbands, but it
is very doubtful! if any European or
American paper has ever contained
such poetical matrimonial advertise
ment as this one. Moreover, it is very

Every business man will admit that
a town without news paper would be
a very poor sor of town, in fact,
almost no town at all, says the pres
cott Coprier. If each business man
in a town would make up his mind
not to adveatise, there would be no
newspaper in to wn in very short time
Hence, it is good logic to conclude
that business men who advertise in
no local paper are opposed to the exist
ence of newspaper in a town. Of
course. they are not SO opposed, but
if all other business men would
follow their nonadverising example,
the result would be the same as thoagh
they were opposed, The better pat
ronage paper gets the better able it
is to deserve that patronage. Further
advertising is not gratuity, as the

THE BELGIAN HARE.

! There is good deal OF doubt why
the species of the rabbit family which
is now creating so much interest in
various parts of the United States is
called the Belgian hare distinctively,
for it is well known that the English
hare much more than any other
nationality, has gwen us the present
standard by which the Belgian hare is
scored. Millions of hares are annually
carried from the continent, from Bel
ginm as well as many ether places
for the London market. II London,
as well as iu most parts of England,
the consumption Of the rabbit is very
large. and as the price of meat ad
vances, so in proportion does the rab-
bit trade Increase There is every
reason to helieve the business in
America will follow the same rule.
Nearly twenty years ago the first
importations Of the English hare were
made to this country. We are not
prepared so say whether the hare was
first introduced into Denver or not,
but certain it is that there the new
industry took hold of the people first,
q nd hot
California hare business about eight
years ago. 1t was not, however, until
about three years since it began to as
sumo large proportions. Indeed, the.
business is yet in its infancy, and:
those who fear that it will soon be
.'pla, ed out" are destined to Be won
derfully mistaken. OF course, those
who are now iu the business, if they
know how to M n qulate it, have the
best chance; but so few who have
already started, have started right,
that proper beginning now will be
more productive of gan than a start
m .de six month, ago with poor
stock and with poor understanding
ot the requirements of the business.
There has been lots Of stuff writ
ten abont the hare business that
would deceive ninety nine out Of a
hundred who were inclined to 60 into
the business. The hare, to be success
fully raised; must be understood. I'ss
food. its houses, its requirements of
sunlight and of shade, it's wofiuerful
cleanliness, and its marvellous fecund-
ity must all be unb b3rstood- land they
are not difficult to learn-bafore a
pefect success can be made in the new
industry.
The exhorbitant prices being asked
for choice strains of imported animals
and their progeny will not always last
but undoubtedly the large prices will
prevail for several years to come. and
it Is to secure these prices that enter
prising men and women are putting
their money into the business. But
when all this wild speculation on
two, three and even five hundred dol.
lar rabbits is psst, it will settle down
to a meat and fur producing basis il.
which larger profits will be secured
than can BE- had in any other legiti-
mate business Santa Ana Blade.
