mistake of keeping too many cows.

ling the milk. do not believe with
many that the profits of the dairy are
smaller than they used to be. We
have gotten into the habit of shipping
milk, which may be more profitable
for the time being, but am afraid of
.he final outcome. In my section We
have q condensing factory which pays
we'll for milk and consequently sup
plying this factory is a paying busi-
ness.
Another mistake is that dairymen
depend too much upon buying cows to
replenish their herd, instead of rails
t.g them. I can raise good calf on
middlings, water and oil meal, and
have raised calves on bread and water.
can raise calf very much cheaper
than can buy COW. Up to the time
she is two years old she will cost me
but S15, and as rule is much bett r
than COW which is bought on the
market for S35 to $40.
Another mistake is in having milk
shipping stations inside the village. l
would have them outside for the rea-
son that it is easier to keep the milk
pure if it is away from luildings.
Another great mistake is the failure
to treat the COW with kindness. Any
thing that tisturbs her nervous con-
dition will lessen the flow OF milk.

<F0R FARM AND GARDEN.
Reaaons fnr KeeninE Bees.

The farmer should keep bees be-
cause they work for nothing and
board themselves, only requiring a
house to live in. Because there is so
much surplus nectar which the bees
can convert into honey. The farmer
can exchange the honey for money
after he has set 100 pounds of it aside
for family use. Because honey Is the
only product on the farm which will
not spoil if not hurried to market
Because bees willpay better revenue
per acre than any other department of
agriculture. Because only a little
capital is needed to make start: The
number of hives can be increased very
fast. Now is the time to get ready
for next spring. Study up during
the evenings and be ready to put
your knowledge into practice when
the time comes.

Profit in Chickens.

Chickens are machines by means of
which grasshoppers, cut worms and
other injurious insects are converted
into eggs and marketable poultry. Is
there not profit in keeping them on
the farm. even ii they do eat little
grain and annoy us little by scratch
ing? 1t is claimed that poultry man.
ure, if properly taken care OF, and lu-
diciously applied, is worth half OF the
food the fowls eat. Poultry manure
contains 2.43 per cent. of phosphoric
acid, 2.26 per cent. potash and 3.29
per cent. nitrogen rs ammonia and
organic matter. It is claimed that
poultry manure is worth from five to
eight times as much as the same guam
tlty of stable manure. A little more
attention to the chickens and other
poultry on the farms, would enable US
to considerably reduce our fertilizer
bill, or better, leave it at what it is,
and increase our yield from the farm.

A BACHELORS DREAM.

Out on the porch amid the scent

The fire flies dancing in the gloom.
The moon drops down behind the hill,
The shadows deepen on the floor;

With one that walks with me no more.

And hear the night winds whispering 10
Across the field of rustling corn,
And cotton white as drifted snow.

That hide the lovers sitting there,
Who dream and plan with happy smiles,
For future days so sweet and fair.

An Aged Student.

Monarchs can never afford to leave
OF learning, whatever their subjects
may do. A striking instance In point
is furnished by an article in 8earson's
Magazine, an article the proof-sheets
of which were corrected by Queen Vic
toria herself.
From this article 1t appears that In
spite Of all her duties and response
bilities, in spite Of the fact that she, has
devoted so much time to the study OF
politics as to have become one OF the
greatest living authorities on the prae-
tical politics Of Europe, Queen Vic
toria has, within the later years OF her
reign, acquired an intimate acquain-
tance with a difficult language spoken
by large number Of her subjects.
She makes it q custom, we are as
sured, to note in Hindustani the daily
events Of her life, keeping diary for
this special purpose. She speaks the
language fuently, having devoted q
part Of every day for the last ten years
to instruction in 1t, and to acquiring
knowledge of the intellectual treas
ures of the East.
The queen has surprised many OF her
Indian visitors by making unexpected
observations in good Hindustani. AS
everybody knows, she is always at
tended, when at home, by one or more
of her picturesque Indian servants. 1t
is not, however, so generally known
that she always speaks to them In their
own tongue. However small the re
mark, or however serious the com
mand, it comes to them In Hindustani
Universal admiration has been e1'
pressed at the determination OF the
queen at an advanced age, not only to
learn to speak Hindustani, but also to
to take an interest In the literature OF
India, and to acquaint herself with the
ideas and aspirations Of her Oriental
subjects.

EXTENSIVE HAIR CUT.
Some Forty thousand Sheep Being Shorn
at New BRIGHTON, Minn.

Some Forty thousand Sheep Being Shofn
at New Brighton, Nina.
Nineteen professional sheep shearers
have begun shearlng 10000 sheep at
New Brighton. The task will keep
them busy for over a month. The men
use specially designed power instru-
mcnts and they will eaca draw from
81 to $40 per day.
The trusting sheep are enticed into
pens where they are at the mercy OF
the shearers who are paid by the piece
and consequently work with oil pos
sible speed. The up-to-date shearlng
instrument operates on the same plan
as a BARRIERS hair clipper, and makes
a clean sweep of several inches in Its
trips back and forth across the body
Of sheep. The most skillful shearers
work the clippers along the body OF
the animal with great dexterity ana
as they proceed the wool falls away
in q solid bunch as thought the animal
had been skinned instead Of shorn.
When the clipper has finished Its
work the wool lies on the floor IN
bundle, the naked and indignant sheep
scampers away, and a man with a
hand-car goes up and down the long
row of operators and gathers up the
wool, takes it to the packing room,
where 1t Is tramped down into large
burlap bags, which, when filled weigh
about 335 pounds each.
The men are paid from to 9 cents
per head for the sheep sheared, and
125 is q good days work, although
there are men who claim to have
4sheared as many as 250 sheep in a
day. When the 10000 now at New
Brighton have all been deprived OF
their wool the band Of shearers will
move on westward, the most industri-
GUS Of them finally ending up in Ne
vada and California, where there are
single ranches with as many as SOO,-
600 sheep belonging to one man. From
there they will come up through the
south to Minneapolis, whence they Will
start out to cover the circuit again

Shall Stubble Be Turned Under.

The answer will depend on the con-
ditions of the stubble land, and
amount of stubble, and whether it can
be turned under early enough to se-
cure rotting before the drouth of mid
summer sets in. Generally turning
under the stubble proves the best
thing that can be done, but the
writer has known cases where it
proved the worst thing that could
have been done. One man in Michi-
gan turned under his stubble one
spring only few years ago, and after
properly narrowing and preparing the
ground, planted it to corn. The
spring was exceptionally dry, and the
summer that followed was not much
better. The corn crop on that field
of turned stubble proved very uneven.
Wherever the corn came in contact
with the bottom of the furrows the
stand was as fair as could have been
expected in dry year. But whore
the corn was planted directly above q
mass of turned down corn stalks or
corn stubble the plants wilted and
died, and, on investigation, the soil
around the roots of those corn stalks
was found perfectly dry, with not a
particle of soil water in evidence.
The stalks and stubble below the
turned earth had not rotted but had
created and held space that pre-
vented the capillary water in the soil
below from reaching the soil above.
Perhaps the land in question was
not plowed till after the spring rains
had ceased. The one question to be
considered is whether the stubble and
stalks plowed under will mix with the
soil and rot or whether conditions are
such that the furrows will simply lie
free from the subsoil, being held NJ,
by means of the dry condition of it's
top and the presence Of the stubble.
In ordinary years the conditions are
such that, the turning under can be
lone with safety, but in occasional
years it is best to burn.-Farm, Field

Treatment of n Lawn.


Nothing adds more to the appear
ance of home than neat, weil-kept
lawn. 1t is within the range of possi-
bi.ity for every house owner to secure
a good stand of grass, anil to keep the
growth strong and healthy by line
of treatment which is by no means
difficult. The first essential is to have
a we'll. prepared bed. A good plan is
to make a compact bed of clay and
then improve this by top dressing.
Nothing is better for this purpose
than raw ground bone. This will
serve as bedding, and also furnish
some of the plant food needed to
nourish the grass. In choosing a
grass one must be governed largely by
local conditions, but the aim should
be to get kind which will grow we'll,
last we'll and look we'll throughout the
spring and summer months.
It is just as necessary to fertilize
lawns as field crops. Grasses need
the same clements of plant food,
namely, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash. 1t is better to supply such in
the form of chemicals, as these are
more concentrated and easier to han
die, not to mention that they are less
offensive and not unsightly in appear
pearance. Stable manure is splens
did fertilizer for grass, but a lawn
covered with this product in early
spring does not look especially invit-
ing. Again, in using stable manure
there is always a possibility of foreign
weed seeds being introduced, the
growth of which 'detracts from the
appearance of the lawn and makes
trouble il eradicating them.
The simplest fertilizer for lawn is
q mixture of ground bone and muriate
of potash, say, about four parts of the
former to one of the latter. The mix
ture may be applied at the rate of five
pounds per square rod, and then
worked we'll into the soil. After this
mixture has been applied, simple
decentralization treatment will great
ly improve the growth of the grass,
and give it that rich, dark green color
which is so desirable in lawn culture.
This consists simply in light top
dressings of nitrate of soda, say one
half pound per square rod, at success
sive periods. The first dose can be
Iut on just after the grass starts to
grow in the spring, aud if used i'm
mediately preceding rain, the effects
will be visible within "a hours. Two
more doses can be made at periodical
intervals. If the nitrate be mixed
with several times its bulk Of fine, dry
earth, the distribution is greatly facil-
itated. Regular moving with a lawn
mower is necessary. and the fertilizer
treatment recommended should be
followed annually.-George K. Will
son in American Cultivation.
