BEST ARE THE CHEAPEST.
Profitable to the Average Farm.
er Than Scrubs.

It does not cost any more to raise
pure-bred stock than half-breeds and
inferior scrubs. The only difference in
the cost is the initial purchase. The
pure-bred naturally costs more than
the inferior animal, but in the end one
such animal may prove cheaper than
three or four scrubs. The farmer who
starts in with the idea and buys only
a little blooded stock as he can afford
it, increasing his herd gradually, may
find in the end that he is in much bet
ter position than his nieghbor who
buys any sort of cattle simply because
they are cheap. The reason why more
do not start in with the idea is because
they have the erroneous belief that it
costs more to maintain the blooded
stock. This is not true at all, for the
fine cattle do not require more food nor
better surroundings than should be
given to any farm animal that is worth
anything. If the farmers style of keep
ing cattle is to neglect them and let
them practically shift for themselves
the scrub stock may be better suited to

are undoubtedly harder than the we'll
bred ones, and they will be able to pick
up living much better on cold,
cherries and almost foodless range.
But where the animals are kept care
fully according to modern ideas OF cat
tle-raising, with sufficient food to nour-
ish them, and proper shelter and pro-
lection, the blooded animals are just as
cheap to support as the poorest scrub.
This being the case no farmer can feel
that he is not able to keep few and, in
time, to substitute them entirely for
his inferior cows, pigs, sheep and cat
tie. Let him begin wedding out graau-
ally all the poorest OF his flock, and
make every addition be of the pure
bred animals. It is better to do this,
even if only one or two can be pur-
chased a year. The flock will increase
in the natural way and as it multiplies
the owner will realize tina he possesses
something that marks the cream of the
trade. Every animal that he brings
into the world has its price, and price
that fluctuates much less than that
given for inferior stock. Such we'll
bred stock can always be sold. There
is scarcely herd of good pigs, COWS or
sheep that cannot find a good customer
even in the midst of dull and depressed
times. This is the financial difference
in the returns of the two herds. One
adds to uncertain and varying income,
the other brings an assurance of GER
tain definite profits and values that
can be depended upon at all times. The
man of business sense can readily see
which will prove the most profitable to
him in the end.-Indiana Farmer.

Then they got the broken ends of the me-

warn weather shiuments.

When live fowls are sent to market
during very warm weather the rule is
to save the expense by crowding as
many as possible in one coop. Water
is placed where only few can reach
it, while the food becomes mixed with
filth. When coop of live fowls is
placed in i car every fowl sits perfectly
still while the car is in motion, making
no attempt to eat or drink; but if
plenty of drinking cups are provided,
and the birds have room enough in the
coop to move, the attendants will give
them water whenever the car stops.
There is always loss in weight of
live fowls sent to market, but with
proper precautions and due regard
for the rights of the fowls much of
this loss at points of destination will
be avoided.-Farm and Fireside.

Electric Power for Farms.

Electric power has not been used
to any great extent in agriculture so
far, though it seems we'll adapted to
it. In Bavaria, however, an expert
ment is being made on a large scale,
by an association of farmers who are
building large power station for the
supply of electric power to the farms
near the village Of Schaftersheim.
The power station is of the mixed
type, both water wheels and steam
engines being used in it for general
ing electric currents. The motors are
made very compact and simple, and,
of course, inclosed so that the enquir-
ing farmland may not break them or
get his fingers nipped in them. Other
associations in other parts of Ger
many are awaiting the success of the
experiment with view to adopting
similar systems. It is estimated that
the power thus distributed will be far
more economical than steam or animal
power on the various farms, and far
more satisfactory.

The Goat a. a Shepherd.

Sheep are too slow in their move
ments to suit goats, which cover more
ground in day and are more inclined
to herd in one bunch and less addict
cd to scattering. When a few goats
are kept among sheep not herded, the
goats will often, for the sake Of COM
pany, stay with the sheep. They are
useful in this connection, as goats al
most invariably come home at night
and sheep follow them in, thus often
avoiding the danger of having any of
the flock killed by dogs or wild ami
mails at night. Sheep and goats do not
interbreed and so can be allowed to
run together with impunity.-W. G.
Hughes, in Farm and Home.

Gaining Control of weeds.

The nearly obsolete practice of
summer following could be revived in
many instances with profit. We have
many noxious weeds that ripen seed
with grass, and therefore thrive in
meadows. If the weedy grass were
given back to the land by summer
blowing fertility would be added, and
by summer cultivation the field could
often be made sufficiently clean to
permit new seeding to- take the
ground. I have found an early sum-
mer blowing and rank midsummer
manurial crop a most effective means
in gaining control over some noxious
weeds. It was a change 3in cultural
conditions they could not stand

WOULD NOT BUILD A CHURCH.
The Consequence Was That He Had
to Make His Escape from
the Country.

TWENTY-FIVE years ago." said min
ing man, relates the Washington
Star, II was in Colorado town,
and one day sheep herder came in
with report of gold find, and col
lected II of us to 60 with him to or
ganize it into district and stake off
our claims. We got through with it
too late in the day to start home
again, SO we camped in our blankets.
We were stretched around the fire
when someone proposed that we de-
vote the time before going to sleep to
telling who we were and what
brought us to that remote country.
Scarcely man in the party was
known by his name, Judge and Doc
and 'Parson' and Shorty and Cock
eye and such characteristic soubri-
quets designating each of us. Most of
the men were simply foaters and
drifters, and they were there because
it happened so and there was chance
to get rich quick and easy. When it
came to 'Shorty's' turn to respond he
startled us by the story of tragedy
in which he had killed two men in
Vermont and escaped because the
sympathy of the community was with
him, although not sufficiently so to
permit him to remain at home. The
wild west was his best opening, and
he had come there to end his days in
whatever way might be. The story
cast gloom over the assemblage, so
to speak, which was lightened some
what by the spokesman calling on
the 'Parson.'
We'll, Parson,' he said, what
brought you out here?

Coed Bedding for Horses.

A good way to keep horses clean in
the stable is to clean out all dirt, ETC.,
and then cover the floor about three
or four inches thick with dry saw
dust, as far back in stall as the horse
usually stands, then cover the saw
dust with straw, or bedding that you
may use. The sawdust will absorb
the moisture and therefore make the
other bedding last longer in case it
is scarce. The sawdust should be re-
placed by fresh occasionally.

cured, and do not hesitate to give unstinted

The causes Of summer catarrh are first,
chronic catarrh; second, arrangements of
the stomach and liver; third, impure blood.
Such being the case, anyone who knows
anything whatever about the operations of
Peruna can understand why this remedy is
a permanent cure for summer catarrh. It
eradicates chronic catarrh from the system,
invigorating the stomach and liver, cleanses
the blood of all impurities, and therefore
permanently cures by removing the cause,
