few scattered farmers whose methods
are Infinitely better than their neigh
bors' aid whose success is far greater;
who have nicer homes, better educated
children and larger hank accounts; and
yet their neighbors, knowing all these
things, do not watch and study their
plans and try to do likewise. 1t does
not matter whether it is due to envy,
jealousy, or what, certainly such con-
duct is eminently foolish. The wise
man learns all the good he can from
everything he sees; he copies even
his worst enemy if he can do it to his
own advantage. A good and success
full farmer ought to be the best liked
man in any neighborhood, and all
who want to succeed best ought to be
thankful they have 30 good an example
10 follow. OF course TO make the great
est success q farmer must be thinker,
student and experimenter as well as
an imitator, but it will save great
deal to learn as much as possible from
the experience OF others. Moreover,
the man who follows the best example
is sure to do great deal Of thinking on
his own account.

Good Example.

If farmers were more willing to fol-
low good example, to initiate the
plans OF those who make success of
their farming operations, it would be q
great benefit to them. One would
think that any farmer who had a neigh
Dor who made success in all the work
he undertook, who never failed to get
good stand of clover, whose wheat
and corn were up to the maximum
yield, whose animals were always
healthy and whose cows were great
money makers, would watch him close
ly and initiate his example as nearly as
possible. Such is certainly the rule
among business men, says Journal of
Agriculture. Every business man in
town, whether only selling or manufac-
turing goods, is certain to be initiated
as soon as his success is demonstrated.
Such thing is not 30 safe with bust
ness man as with farmer, because it
may result in OVERRIDING the business,
although it very often happens that the
imitators are very successful, too. But
in farming a good example does not
usually carry any danger of overpro-
duction. The really important thing
to consider in any sort of farming is to
produce the largest and best and surest
crops at the least expense OF labor.
That is the thing that is vital to the
profit of the business, and that is
wherein the intelligent, businesslike
farmer excels the slipshod, unthinking
one, and it is what enables him to
make more money and get more out of
life than the other fellow. All this is
indisputably true, and we know of a

Keeping Animals Too Long,

1t is very commendable and b u
manitarian sentiment to keep cattle too
long, for it indicates an attachment for
them that one ia 10th ito break, and yet
farmer who is raising animals for his
living cannot let sentiment interfere
with what he knows to be good bust
ness. Others keep cattle too long
simply because they happen to be igno-
rant of the best time to dispose of
them, and they keep waiting for bet
ter turn in the markets to help them
get good returns. Sometimes this liv-
ing in the hope of doing better later in
duces farmer to carry his herd over
from lmonth to month, and before he
knows it year has slipped by. The
animals are meantime eating up all the
profits they ever would have made for
their owners, and at the same time are
passing the prime of life, when they
sell at best prices.
We cannot afford TO kesp cattle one
day longer than the time they reach full
maturity or prime of life. Up to this
period they have been gaining in
weight and flesh, and every pound of
feed that has been given to them has
made the corresponding amount Of
flesh. Liberal feeding of growing ami
mails makes glad the heart of the farm
er or breeder, but when the food ceases
to exert its magic influence then some
thing seems to be wrong. The wrong
is very often that the cattle have pass
ed their prime, and all future feeding
will merely tend to help them hold
their weight. There is no further gain.
Prime cattle sold in the market
m cans something more than fat and
well developed carcasses. 1t includes
a certain tenderness and juciness of
meat which can be gained only through
rapid growing and laying on Of flesh.
This result has been obtained by good
feeding of good animals. If these ami
mails had ceased to grow the meat
would begin to lose much Of It's best
virtues. 1t may not be an easy matter
always to tell just when an animal has
ceased to grow, or when it has reached
its full prime, but it is more profitable
to sell just before that period, and thus
lose the few extra pounds she may
have gained than to hold her few
weeks beyond full maturity when she
gains nothing in weight and loses in
quality. Most of us are inclined to hold
our cattle too long, and it may well be
of value to some of us to look into the
matter. Are we hampering ourselves
by holding cattle over for higher mar
kets when they should be sold at once
or are we selling them just as soon as
they have reached their prime and are
in the very best condition for the mar.

THERE Is more catarrh is this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and, by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease, and it therefore re-
quires constitutional treatment. HALLS
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

ten drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts d.

AGRICULTURAL.
Feeding Sow and Pigs.

The class of people who believe that
rigid system in swine feeding is nom
sense is rapidly growing smaller, says
Theo. Lewis, the noted swine expert,
though the class is still too large, and
he who advocates system in this matter
is still in danger of being called
crank. But in spite of this the risk is
assumed of saying that the hog is
greedy feeder, and is inclined to 80
improperly masticate its food that much
of it is wasted for want of proper as
similation and digestion, and 30 food
should be selected, prepared and fed
with a view to making the lightest de-
mend upon the digestive organs. Aud
so, soaking or grinding corn, and feed
ing on floor, where great mouthfuls
cannot be taken, are recommended
and .practiced by all good feeders of
sows with pigs at their side.
But if selection and preparation of
food are neglected, there is one thing
that must not be, and that is regularity
in hours of feeding. No matter how
many times day, nor what is fed, let
it be at the same hours every day. And
under no circumstances, summer or
winter, rain or shine, should hogs be
fed after dark. The hog is not noe
turnal animal, unless driven to be by
hunger, and darkness is its natural
time for rest, digestion and assimilation
OF food to the best advantage.
Another essential point in feeding is
quantity. A recently reported expert
ment in Ontario, feeding steers heavy,
medium aud light ration, shows that
the cost per pound of gain was less
with the last than either of the others,
the cost being greatest with the heavy
rations. The same would be true of
hogs. or course the light ration must
be adequate, must be just enough and
no more. What is eaten up clean,
with indications that if little more
were present it would be eaten, is the
test of what is 'just enough" and a
little careful observation will make the
test easily understood. In this copnec-
ton 1t should be said that the sow with
pigs must have an ever-increasing ra-
ton, which cannot be named speci6-
cally, but must be determined by the
test suggested The growing pigs re-
quire an ever-increasing quantity of
milk, which requires more food for the
SOW, and they will also begin to eat of
the food furnished her, and that must
be provided, but always with care, and
ever mindful of the fact that food
must be conducive to growth and not
to fat. The fat young pig is standing
invitation to thumps and other disor-
ders. The pigs that are given some
grain while nursing are spared the alb
rupt change that follows weaving when
no grain has been fed.
There is one more suggestion that is
appropriate to the season, and that is
that pasturage and exercise are essen
tial to the well being of the pig or hog,
and to the cheap production of pork
OF course pasturing implies exercise,
but the exercise must be provided for,
even if there is no pasturage. The
penned up pig cannot do its best at this
season, and at no season can the pig
without exercise do 30 we'll as the one
with it.

Then and Now.

One of the leading business men OF
Omaha says: our present business
does not in any way resemble the busi-
ness we did four years ago. We have
more than doubled our business and it
is on II more satisfactory basis all
around Our men are making better
salaries and we are employing about
twice aS many as we had four years
ago, and, as stated above, our busi-
ness Is on II more satisfactory basis
than it has ever been. Under the cir
cumstances, we would dislike very
much to see any change In the admin.
istration, as we believe it to be to the
interest of everyone to continue the
present administration another term. y
Another prominent man says: "Our
business for the past year showed an
increase of>about % per cent over 1896
and collections have not been so good
since 1892 as they are now. Prospects
ahead Of us, with the right kind of an
administration of national affairs. are
unusually bright. There is not one ap
plicaut for work now where there
were tive or even more In 1896"
