Live Stock Values.

The magnitude of the live stock inter
ests in this country is shown by the fact
that the total value Of farm animals on
January /, 1899, was $2,215, ,O53, ,OOO The
highest point ever reached by this value
was $2,507, ,050,0 900, in 1889. The depres-
sion in these values began In 1892 and
reached the lowest point Of 81, 1860, ,42O, 900
in 1896, making decline Of fully rs
per cent. The upward tendency in values
began in 1896 and has continued ever
since until now 19 per cent Of the rs per
cent Of shrinkage has been recovered
This leaves per cent of that shrinkage
still to be recovered before the high
water mark Of ten years ago will be
reached. The natural growth of the
country and growing export trade will
make an increasing demand so that 1t
may reasonably be expected that during
the next few years the maximum values
of 1889 will be reached and passed and
from these facts the conclusion may be
drawn that there will be no permanent
decline In the values Of live stock for
several years to come. Since January
/, 1897, the per cent of increase in the
value Of different kinds of stock has been
on horses 2O1R, mules IL, milch cows
BIZ, other cattle 48, sheep 721a, hogs ~
On January /, 1899, Kansas had 821,-
900 horses, with an average value Of
s31.50; $4,000 mules, with an average
value Of 1890; $4,000 milch cows, with
an average value OF $30.SO; 2,3OS,O 900
other cattle, with an average value Of
$24.90; $4,000 sheep, with an average
value of $3.O5, and 2,5SS,000 hogs, with
an average value Of $40.

Singing Hens.

Singing hens lay the most eggs. Hens
sing because they are happy and con-
tented, and happy and cOntented hens
always lay more eggs than those that are
dumpy, starved or sick. Singing hens
not only lay the most eggs but they lay
the best and largest eggs and eggs which
make the most wholesome food. A half
sick or half-starved hen, II she lays any
eggs at all, will lay eggs that are small
in size and inferior in quality and vital
ity. Eggs for Matching ought to be from
hens in good thrifty condition and from
the best and most constant layers. By
using care in selecting eggs for hatch
ing the laying qualities Of hens can be
improved. BY applying some Of the same
principles in the breeding OF fowls that
are so carefully studied and used in
breeding cattle the egg-producing quail
tiles Of the hens on nearly every farm
might be greatly improved. The dairy
man breeds for milk and butter by weed
ing out the poor mixers and saving only
the best mixers for breeding purposes.
With a little care the farmers wife can
select eggs for Matching from the hens
that lay the most and largest eggs and
thus improve greatly the laying quail
ties Of the flock

Marketing Farm Products.

We are just now starting in a new
year, and the confidence In 1t for pros
porous business is we'll nigh unanimous.
The confident feeling seems to grow day
by day, and it Is not only felt in one
locality, but from the seabOard TO the
grain fields of the great West, and this
furnishes a valuable index Of the source
Of much Of the good business so recently
reported.
A glance at the past in order that we
may see more clearly in the future will
disclose the fact that as rule not
enough attention has been paid to mar
keting farm products. The nearest mar
ket Is usually selected as the place for
marketing products, and there may be
very good reasons for this selection. A
market a few miles further away may
sometimes pay enough better prices to
Justify going to that market. Many farm
products can and should be sold to pri-
vate customers, and by working up a
private trade the profits may be much
larger, Again it may be necessary to
look up good markets further away from
home. Uncle Sam is very generous In

the solution to the problem Of providing
them is receiving attention now from
men who few years ago did not think
1t worth while to think about 1t at all.
A recent bankers convention, even, did
not think it beneath their dignity to
pass a resolution in favor OF good roads.
Wherever a start is made in the
direction Of permanent road improve
ment the work spreads, reaching out
farther and farther, and this alone will
bring good roads to every section in the
course Of time. In Illinois roads that
are good the year through may be found
in different parts Of the State where
few years ago the roads were almost i'm
passable during the winter, unless they
were frozen.
Near Kankakee there are first-class
roads made Of broken limestone taken
from the Kankakee River These roads
were built not so much to avoid mud as
to make good hauling through sand.
When other roads are very bad sand
roads are firmest and in this case very
light coat Of broken limestone makes a
firm road which never works UP and
makes heavy hauling possible In Lee
County the roads are being improved
and in Putnam County there is a con-
stant increase in the mileage of good
roads.
Most of this work has been paid for
by the lands lying along the roads so
far, but General Harrison has advanced
views on the subject. He holds that
roads are public property and that the
general public should be taxed for their
and the tax for this pur-
pose levied on all property alike. AS
the benefits Of good roads are enjoyed
by every one within the territory they
cover this seems to be only fair way
to spread the cost of making them"

Average Farmer.

The average farmer does not plan his
work, and the day is past when we car
afford to be an average farmer. The aV'
erage farmer grows average crops and
has an average time, and his family
are to be congratulated if they are
blessed with an average amount Of sup
plies. There are too many average farm
ers who are farming average farms, and
the bulk of what they grow goes to pay
their rent while their families suffer
There is really no need OF this IL some
planning be done at a time when you
have time to lay plans. That day Is past
when farmers are to work like slaves,
and like slaves reap their reward. II
the work is planned at the proper time,
there will need be no work at night, and
both farmers and teams will get enough
rest to make them vigorous for the next
days work.
If plans are not made there will be
a hurry and worry when the time comes.
A day off to get plOw repaired, day
for cleaning seed, day for selecting
seed corn, day for hunting up another
horse, and day or two more, and a
week is wasted just because there was
not little planning at a time when it
could have been done. When a large
building is to be erected or a railroad
built, the plans are all laid before one
shovelful of dirt is thrown. The cost is
considered, and the promoters know just
how it will be when 1t is finished. The
conditions are such that the farmer can
not so exactly calculate in the future,
but he can calculate more than he does
with good results. He can reason that
rain will come, or that certain enemy
will show up at certain time. If they
do appear he will be able to meet them,
but should they fail it is his good plea
sure to know he was ready for the emer-
gene. Homestead

Eau Sowing Alfalfa.

"The idea that all grass seed must be
sown in the spring has deep and ap-
parently a lasting hold on the minds
of the people. With alfalfa our exper-
ience is, that sown in the spring the
plants are weak to begin with, and when
the dry, hot weather strikes it, 1t goes
back A little rain then starts the fall
grass and weeds and the crop Is gone.
By sowing in the fall, by cold weather
the plants are as big as the average
spring-soWn, and are ready for business
as soon as the weather is favorable in
the spring. find by sowing in the fall
I gain a year in time and better and
surer stand. find, also, that l get bet
ter results where the plants are four
to six inches apart. Any system Of
seeding that would give good, healthy

week in August Of any good, fair wheat
year will give plenty Of stand. could
not see any practical difference as to
ability TO stand cold, dry weather, winds,
ETC., between the young alfalfa and
wheat, the grade of land, slope and con-
ditlons being equal.
"To farmers who have failed with
spring-sown alfalfa / would say: Take
a piece Of naturally dry, rolling land
it must be clear Of standing water at
all times Of the year, no matter what
the subsoil is, or how above water-put
in good condition and SOW to oats. Cut
and remove the oats in time so that
there will be no volunteer crop. Then as
soon as possible plow and put in good
condition again, and whenever your
judgment would say sow, broadcast one
half peck to peck Of good seed to the
acre, and harrow thoroughly. Pledge
yourself that you will keep all and every
kind of stock off that land for two years
from sowing, and stick to your pledge,
and you will find it among the most prof
liable fields ON the farm. -. w. Cole

Other things being equal, north and
east slope will probably be the best
ground on which to plant an apple Or
chard, because IL will be more sheltered
from the hot and drying southwest winds
that are so apt to prevail in July and
August. But the character and quality
OF the land have more to do in growing
o good and profitable orchard than the
slope OF the land. Limestone land is
the best for apples and slopes leading
away from a limestone ridge will gen.
orally be good orchard land because Of
the moisture formed by the seepage from
the stony ridge This moisture sustains
the trees during the dry portion Of the
year in July and August Peach and
pear trees will do we'll on top Of the
ridge, IL not too stony, while apple trees
will do best on the sheltered slope lands.

Cotton In the South.

The enormous crop Of cotton raised in
the Southern States in 1898 amounted
10 100000 bales. OF this there was
exported 100000 bales, making 1885,
OUO,U00 pounds. The production Of this
crop has become so great and the prices
so low that great efforts are being made
10 induce the farmers to raise diver
sity OF crops. But cotton is so easily
raised and handled and taken to market
in compressed form that 1t will be
very hard to induce the negroes to give
up cotton and raise other crops instead.
All that Southern negro needs to tend
from two to Ave acres Of cotton Is a
mule, a small bull tongue plOw and q
rope harness. The cotton will produce
from half bale to bale per acre, and
at q very low price will bring 500 to $50
bale, which is more than the negro
could realize from any other crop he
could raise.

sunAower Oil.

In 1S42 a Russian farmer named BOka-

from the seed of the sunAOwer. His
nelghbOr told him 1t was a visionary
idea and that he would have his labor
his pains. He persevered, however, and
from that humble beginning the indus
try has expanded to enormous proper
lions. To-day more than 100000 acres
Of land In Russia are devoted to the
cultivation ofthe sunhower. Two kinds
are grown one with small seeds, which
are crushed for oil, and the other with
larger seeds, that are consumed by the
poorer people in enormous quantities.

AS q distinct breed Of cattle, the Short
horns have been known for over three
hundred years. They were bred on the
estates OF the Earl of Northumberland
in the latter half Of the sixteenth cen
tury, but their reputation as ShOr-horns
did not become generally known until
during the last half Of the eighteenth
century. The HerefOrds or white-faces
date back to 1850. They were first i'm
ported to this country in 1916.
The Aberdeen Angus breed was known
in 1900, but was not pOpularlzed until

much more besides. For in the most

Paw as You Go.

No sentence has ever been formulated
that means more if correctly applied
than this one Of four words. II it were
applied on every farm in this country
1t would mean more than words can ex-
press. 1t would save worry in waking
hours and nights Of wakefulneSs. Pay
as you go, and the dollar in your pocket
is your own, the man you buy Of gives
you his lowest price, and no man has a
claim on your purse, which may be
pressed at time when you are unable
to meet or must make sacrifice to do so.
Nearly every one who reads these
words will be able to call to mind some
one who always pays spot cash. Such a
man may be called close buyer store
keepers and others with goods to sell
may not have high opinion Of him
because they have no opportunity to
press the sale Of their merchandise un-
der the specious plea that it can be paid
for at more convenient season, the
buyer often forgetting that the cOnvG-
nient season to pay a debt contracted
for this reason alone rarely comes. It
is the small debts that worry, for large
ones are contracted cautiously, and these
should never be made. The man who
pays spot cash almost invariably has
money for his needs, and If he has not
the money he does not Duy, and at the
end of the year is just as well of in
every way. Long credits make bad
friends" is good old Scotch saying that
should be kept in mind. The things
bought to-day must be paid for some
time, and the prices never become less
because it is charged to an account.
We well remember an old man who
grew rich by never going in debt. It
was known that he always had money
in his pocket and the neighbors could
sell him stock or grain in a pinch and
get cash for it, and on such occasions
they usually made price that led to
profit for the buyer, and he was not mig
gardly at such times. A thrifty steer
not quite ready for market, colt year
too young to sell, a bunch Of growing
shOtes and things of that sort were Of
fered to him and paid for at salts
factory valuation. These he finished for
market and made good profit on, for he
was as careful with his stock as with
his money. With 40 acres to begin with,
he never added an acre to his farm. He
lived simply but we'll, and died respected,
leaving his two children the 40 acres OF
land and $4,000 in cash in the hands of
those Of his neighbors who did not fol-
low Randolph's advice. At 80 years Of
age he had a CHEEKY voice and a placid
temper, due, no doubt, to great extent
because he had never been worried by
small bts.-Farmer's Voice.
