BREEDING A DAIRY HERD.

Not all farmers are able to buy
thoroughbred COWS. In that case [
would advise the careful selection of
the best grade mich COWS they have
and buy a thoroughbred bull Of the
dairy breed they prefer. Be sure he
is thoroughbred animal. You can
then count on an Improvement in the
milking qualities of majority of the
COWS. OF course, some will breed
back from the mothers side, and may
not be as good. But, in probability
the heifers with each generotion will
be improved, and especially so if re-
gard is taken in the feeding of the
calf and COW.
A whole book could be written on
how to feed a calf reared for the dairy.
I will say, feed the calf about three
quarts fresh milk from the COW twice
a day for as long as you can afford it.
Then begin to feed a little corn meal
and oil meal. Make the change very
gradually. Don't feed a half dozen
calves in the same feed-box and ex-
pect them to make the division. They
won't divide it equally, and some of
them will become bloated, others will
have. dysentery. Either disease will
prove an injury to the future COW.
How common saying, my COW is
bloated, or she is off her feed, or she
scours frequently? Allprobably caused
by improperly feeding her when a
calf. Another thing, keep the calf
pen dry and clean, with abundance of
sunshine. Nothing will kill a calf
quicker than a dark, damp, filthy
pen. Don't cover the dampness and

OUR FARMERS.
HUMUS IN THE SOIL.

Humus. in brief terms, is half made
soil. 1t is material on the way to be-
coming vegetable mould. 1t has only
a stage intermediate between life and
decomposition. This is, fortunately,
the condition of d large amount of
the materials of of our fields, provid
ed they are properly titled and fed.
1t comes from the leaves of the trees
that areEdropped in autumn, from all
sorts of manure, from roofing trees,
branches and roots, as we'll as from
muck. a large amount of soil that
has never been ploughed will be on
the surface humus. Nature spreads
it thickly over the surface, anticipat-
ing the future as well as supplying the
present. For this reason a great deal
of material is of vital Importance on
the field beside that which can be i'm
mediately taken up by the rootlets of
our crops.
Those who burn autumns leaves are
destroying the larger part of nature
that worked all summer to add to the
humus of the soil. Bear n!!mind also
that this unfinished soil serves as a
mulch to the perfected soil, holding
moisture down and easily absorbing
moisture, at the time preventing the
escape from the soil of some of it's
most valuable constituents. For this
reason oncentrated manure, although
acting quickly, is not necessarily the
most valuable. 1T is quickly eaten
up, without leaving supply in prepa-
ration for the future. The skilful
farmer understandssthi and adjusts
his work to the production and con-
slant supply of material will make
humus. He ploughs under grass sod,
clover crop, coarse barnyard manure,
buckwheat, cow-peas and other SINH
lar material with this end in view.
His compost piles consist probably
two thirds of material that cannot be
eaten up by the first year they are
applied.

NAS1'URTTUMS.

Nasturtiums are grateful things,
with generous treatment they are a
perfect blaze of wonderful color and
beauty.
They require rather poor soil,
otherwise they are apt to go to leaves.
They will grow and bloom we'll in
eithcr sunshine or shade, but sunny
position is best, provided they are
given plenty of water. They begin to
bloom earlier, and are blaze of color
all summer, till some morning they
hang limp and lifeless, cut off by the
first hard frost, with the bright buds
and blossoms still covering them.
When nasturtiums refuse to bloom
and go to leaf profusely, pick off the
leaves by great handfuls, ruthlessly
and relentlessly. This let's the sun
and air get to the stems and buds and
makes them bloom much more pro-
fusely. Keep all the flowers picked
off and never let seeds form. Once a
week go over them and pick off
everything in the shape of flowers,
leaving only buds, and next day but
one they are as gay as ever. The
more they are picked, the better they
bloom.
If you want a great show of fine
large nasturtiums for any particular
date, pick off all blossoms a few DAYS
before and give copious waterings.-

tors pronounced it local disease and pre-

failing to cure with local treatment pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

IMPROVING FARM C111LE.

We have frequently noted the fact
that the big stock raisers of the west
n take the best of the pure bred stock
NJ from the breeding establishments of
the eastern and central states, leav
M ing for the farmers of these states the
second rate animals. There is good
reason for this in the fact that the
western man with his large number
of females can afford to pay a better
price fer pure bred male than the
farmer whose herd is small. But,
Whatever the reason, the fact is to be
deplored, from the standpoint of the
farmer because it is constantly in
creasing the capacity of his rivals to
compete in the quality of their stock.
We have seen range bred cattle inn
proving steadily for years, while those
bred on farms have stood still or re-
trograted, and the reason is that the
ranchman has bred straight and bred
PIP, while the farmer has too often
Hone neither. The good bulls have
zone west, and the result is seen in
range bred cattle that top the market
when fed right. If our farm bred cat
lie are to maintain their lead, they
must be bred up. If individual farmers
Pannot put up enough money to keep
he best bulls at home, they must club
together or organize to do it. 1t is

LADIES' COLUMN.
KEEP your MOTHER YOUNG.

Girls do you realize that the happi-
ness, both present and future, Of your
mothers is largely in your keeping?
Of course, you acknowledge that no
dearer relationship exists than be-
tween a loving mother and daughter,
but do all of your believe it?
A girl cannot afford to let this bles-
sedness slip out of her life, says a
writer in Truth. And yet many do,
and by hasty word, neglect, and even
by continuous rudeness to their
mothers, cast shadows whether they
could so easily bring sunhine.
Some mothers, assert themselves;
but too often the wrinkled brow, the
weary step, the permenent look of
sadness so noticeable in many mothers,
comes from want Of appreciation in
their sons and daughters. So much
of the earthly happiness banked upon
her children, for whom she would
yield her life, that when this prop is
knocked from under her, all seems to
go with it. And the home without
a competent head, experienced hand
to guide amidst the vicissitudes of joy
and sorrow, is not the happy home
that it could be and should be.
Much of the neglect Of mothers by
their daughters comes from want of
thought, and many a girl would be
appalled, at her own portrait, could
she see 'sherself as others see her."
and would be the first to condemn
day by day she goes on accepting
and never returning, and ruthlessly
trampling upon the heart of one
whose every thought is centered upon
her happiness and advancement, and
that one her mother! Surely this is
not the girl who deems herself noble
hearted, who weeps over the woes of
mankind in general, and is attentive
to outside friends, even to other girls
mothers.
How gladly we turn to the contrast
ing picture, where the daughter is a
daughter, indeed. Dear girl, as you
prize your own happiness and beauty
of character, love, cherish, pet your
mother, show Difference to her opinion,
consult with her, take her into your
girl life; and she will grow strong
and beautiful. and strong and beauti-
full for you. Make it your business to
open the windows and let in the sun
shine into her soul. Let her see that
her daughter is thoughtful for her,
and enjoys her companionship.
Urge her to go out with you; and if
she is too preoccupied with household
duties TO pay attention to prettiness
of dress, you should look out for her;
see that her veil is gracefully ar
ranged; her gloves in order; her dress
neat and attractive, not letting her
give up everything "for the children"
Make much other at home and abroad,
and you will have double reason to be
proud of the mother whom you have
helped to keep young, as in the sun
shine of daughters love she bios
