MAN WITH THE HOE.
He Has Disappeared from the Aver
age American Farm to an IN
tustfhable Extent.

The man with the hoe is largely a
memory. There is nothing that the
average farmer so much dislikes as
the hoe Hoeing he regards as too
hard work, and besides it is slow work.
We have become so accustomed to
rapid working and riding implements
that we have no patience with the
hoe. We do not desire to be under
stood as trying to convey the idea
that handling the hoe is altogether a
pleasure. We are not particularly in
love with the work, but there is lots o
work on the farm that is not particu-
larry inviting. Writers. aM especial
. ly the editors of the city agricultural
papers, may talk eloquently of the
. beauty of the flowers on the farm,
the fragrance of new-mown hay and
the delightful shady retreat, but it
these fellows would spend hot day
in getting that sweet, new-mown hay
into the barn-even with modern tools
and machinery-or should spend day
in carting out manure, or even riding
on a cultivator, to say nothing about
walking after one, they would con-
clude that there were other 'smells"
on the farm besides the fragrance of
hew-mown hay and roses. and that
the shady retreats were mockery to
a man who must spend ~ hours in the
scorching heat. Farming is not fun
by long ways. 1t is hard work and
some of the work is very disagreeable.
The farmers consolation, however. is
that there is hard work in any calling.
No, the hoe Is not fascinating tool.
| It is about on the level in that respect
with the obsolete fail, but while it
has been discarded to an unjustifiable
| extent it Is an exceedingly useful tool
| We keep the hoe going somewhere on
the farm almost constantly, and are
satisfied that it is the most profitable
tool we use. 1t can be profitably used
by cheap help, which cannot be said
of most implements. A boy can hoe
as we'll as a man, if ne will, and some
boys will. We have boy who we are
satisfied makes the hoe pay. The
modern hoe suffers because of the bat
reputation of its old clumsy predeces
sor, which was a backaching, hand
blistering, dull and heavy tool. The
modern hoe is light and graceful ant
should be sharp. 1t is easily HANDLED
and efficient. Let us use it more

ABOUT BELGIAN HARES.
BREEDING of This Animal rs an In d US.
try Began, Ii Ii Now Claimed,
Ten Years Ago.

In answer to number of inquiries
in regard to the Belgian hare, we
find, upon investigation, that the
breeding of this animal in this coun-
try as an industry began about ten
years ago. The breeders are natural
ly enthusiastic and possibly are too
optimistic in their view of the future
of this constantly charging business.
1t is claimed by them that no other
line of breeding offers anything like
the profits that the breeding of the
Belgian hare does. Both the meat
and the hide are valuable. The cost
of producing the meat, it is claimed.
is not over five cents pound at the
most. and we have been informed by
breeders in the vicinity Of Denver.
Col, that the meat in that market
sells from IS to 25 cents pound.
The meat of young Belgian hare is
highly extolled by those who are &C.
quainted with it's quality, and all such
unite in saying that as a toothsome
article of diet it cannot be excelled
by any meat that comes to our tables.
The hare is exceedingly prolific. the
doe sometimes producing IS to so
young hares in the course of the
year, and does begin to breed at the
age of six months.
The food is that which is common
ly eaten by sheep, and should be a
variety which can readily be proyid-
ed from oats. clover. roots, bread and
milk, etc. All the shelter that is
needed is an open shed that will
always be dry and must be clean
Cleanliness in the hutch must be
maintained. Three by four or five
feet is large enough for hutch. The
nesting box, which must be provided
for each breeding doe, should be three
feet long and two feet in width and
height. A portion of the cage should
| be covered with wire netting. Cover
| the bottom with fine straw. A littel
| is from six to a dozen. When abou
two months old the young are weanet
and the sexes separated. The weigh
of Belgian, if pure bred. at ma
turity is from eight to ten pounds

PRESERVING EGGS.
Formula Used by spectators ane
Dealers Engaged I'm the Business
, ON q large Scale.

Numerous methods of preserving
eggs are in use. The idea of all OF them
is to keep air out of the eggs, as by
such absence of oxygen decay can be
arrested for considerable length OF
time, especially if the eggs are perfect
ly fresh at the start and are kept IN
a cool. dark place. The standard meth
cd most used by spectators and deal
ers Is to put eggs in lime water. The
process is as follows, this recipe having
been widely sold at five dollars under
pledge of secrecy: Take two gallons OF
water, IL pounds OF unslaked lime AID
four pounds OF salt. OF in that proper
ton according to the quantity OF eggs
to be preserved. Stir several times
daily and then let stand until the liquid
has settled and is perfectly clear. Draw
or carefully dip of the clear liquid.
leaving the sediment at the bottom.
Take for the above amount of liquid
five ounces each of baking soda, cream
of tartar, saltpeter and borax and an
ounce of alum. Pulverize and mix these
and dissolve in one gallon OF boiling
water and add to the mixture about 20
gallons of pure lime water. This will
about fill cider barrel. Put the eggs
in carefully SO as not to crack any OF
the shells, letting the water always
stand an inch above the eggs, which
can be done by placing barrel head a
+, little smaller upon them and weighing
, it. This amount of liquid will preserve
$50 dozen Of eggs. 1t is not necessary
| to wait to get full barrel OF smaller
package Of eggs, but they can be put
in at any time. that they can be OBJ
] tanned fresh. The same liquid should
be used only once.-Michigan Trades

Proper H.ndlins Of Bees.

If you know how to handle bees you
can earn good pay Oyerhauling the
apiaries of farmers who are too busy in
spring and fall to put their colonies in
shape for the season. Many swarms
are worthless now that might bring
good profits to the owner if cleaned up
and perhaps combined with another.
Wormy hives and hives with old brood
might as well be burned or thrown in
the sea as to be kept in their present
condition. Let a man get reputation
for knowing how to handle bees and
being willing to do it for others, and he
would not find time to fill his orders.
He would soon carry a large stock OF
bees and bee goods as we'll as honey to
sell, and should make it all turn in good
profits.-Midland Farmer.

The U.iver.aIity Of Grass.

Next in Importance to the divine
profusion of water, light and air,
those three great physical facts which
render existence possible, may be
reckoned the universal beneficence of
grass. Exaggerated by tropical heats
and vapors to the gigantic cane con-
gested with its saccharine secretion,
OF dwarfed by polar rigors to the
fibrous hair of northern solitudes, en-
.bracng between these extremes the
maize with its resolute pennons, the
rice plant Of southern swamps, the
wheat, rye, barley, oats and other
cereals, no less than the humber YER
dure of hillside, pasture and prairie
in the temperate zone, grass is the
most widely distributed of all vege-
table beings.-J. J. Ingalls,.

sh,pmept Of Dressed Fowls,

! 1t is common saying that the mar
ket is never over-stocked with the best,
and this is probably correct. Whenever
the market is over-stocked it begins at
the poorest quality to reject. II the
market does not reject the low quality,
it at once reduces the price to point
below cost of production and market
ing. Therefore the only people that
stand a chance of making money are
those that send to market good prod
ucts in good shape. In way markets
are always over-stocked. except in
times of special scarcity. But the mar
ket is never over-stocked with choice
fowls. Great loss to the producers re.
suits from the manner in which
fowls are dressed and shipped to mar
ket. One man says that the quantity of
fowls daily dressed and sent to market
in an unstable condition is Oormous.

up and down the posts. Bore holes in
the posts, and insert an iron pin or
heavy bolt under each iron to hold roof
at point desired. This completes the
adjustable shelter, and no doubt many

gest themselves to the up-to-date

Poultry House Disinfect.nt..

1t is well to keep the fact in mind
that pure air and sunshine are the best
of disinfectants. They discount every
thing in keeping the nursery coops in
condition. Turn these coops over fire.
quently SO when the hens and their
broods are out on the range the sun
may shine on them all day. If this is
regularly attended to and their loca-
ton changed SO as to occupy fresh
spot of ground once week you can re-
lieve your mind of any fear of foulness
which will be injurious to the chicks.
This kind of disinfecting costs nothing
in the way of labor. and is one OF the
cheap things which is thoroughly good.

The wild onion is the bane of the
pastures, but it can be eradicated en-
trely if attention is given it. One
of the remedies suggested for the
wild onion odor in milk is to stable
the cows about three o'clock and give
hay, allowing their regular food as
usual. The odor will pass off in the
secretions in three or four hours.
Every season, however, the wild onion
regularly appears and increases, yet
the pests are easily destroyed by pull
ing them up or keeping them cut
down. This may be tedious for
awhile, but pays well in the end.

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep one cock for ten to fifteen hens
Let the fowls fast few hours before
killing.
Hens lay best at the age OF one to
two years.
Always give fowls plenty OF fresh,
pure water.
Sitting hens must have daily run to
insure them good health.
There is no danger of the poultry
business being overdone because the
demand is rapidly increasing.
If a scratching place is provided
where you can bury corn. your fowls
will receive much benefit from the ex.
