FOR THE FARMER

The farmers stock in trade is in his

spondent of The New England Farm
er. II he fails to improve the farm, if
IL lacks proper cultivation and he fails
to return the elements of plant food
which his crops have taken from the
soil, If he fails to keep his buildings
and farms in good repair or to give
good care TO his animals, his capital
stock will Immediately decrease in val
ue, and nobody will want it even at a
low valuation. If the farmer takes
from the capital stock of his farm and
puts 1t in the bank, he is In the end the
loser. This does not mean that the
farmer should not have bank account
to his credit from the actual profits of
his farm after keeping the capital
stock of the farm at its par value. An
exchange suggests that 1t is a good
time to look over the farm carefully
and see whether its capital stock has
Increased or diminished during the

A VERY Foxy Fox.

A gentleman whose word cannot be
doubted and who is not easily deceived
tells the following:
Very early one morning he saw a fox
eying most wistfully number of wild
ducks feeding in the rushy end of a
highland lake. After awhile the fox,
going to windward of the ducks, put
afioat in the lake several punches OF
dead rushes or grass. which foatet
down among the ducks without caus.
ing the least alarm.
After watching the effect of his pre-
liminary feet for short time the fox,
taking a good sized mouthful of grass
in his jaws, launched himself, into the
water as quietly as possible, having
nothing but the tips of his ears and
nose above water.
In this way he drifted down among
the ducks and caught fine mallard.

A Great Potato Crop.

The average yield of potatoes in the
United States is said to be 50 bushels
per acre, says The American Guilt
vator. The Canada yield is reported
as averaging 20 to % bushels higher
than that, while in England a good
crop may be 240 bushels, which is no
more than some farmers here obtain
who manure literally and try to grow
good crops. But on the estate of Lord
Rosebery at Dalmeny, Scotland, they
are reported TO obtain an average of
720 bushels to the acre. How does he
do it? He puts so gross tons, 2,240
pounds to the ton, to the acre of ma
nure. mostly from the city of Edn-
burgh, piowed in upon a clean stubble
in the fall. Then in the spring he
grubs in AIS pounds of 'ground" lime,
and at planting time he puts in the
drill per acre 44S pounds of super
phosphate and 112 pounds each of mu-
riate of potash, sulphate Of potash. fer
mented bone meal and sulphate Of am

The rally begun in the market on Sat-
urday will probably have to be carried
somewhat further before the market can
be considered safe sale. The move
ment is of course solely dependent upon
the short interest, and will come to an
end as soon as this interest is reduced to
more nominal positions. The reduction
OF outsiders to come into the market
will still further increase during the next
three days owing to the uncertainty of
what action will be taken at the sugar
meeting.
Doubtless the old Wall street maxim
OF las sugar goes, SO do /" will hold
more than usually true during the in
terval between now and Wednesday
noon as the best informed people in the
sugar trade insist that the dividend will

Not So Much MILK Drank.

III. w. Conn in Popular Science
Monthly says: There is little question
that the public has become somewhat
suspicious of milk and that many hesi-
tate to drink it as freely as in earlier
years. This suspicion is more pro-
nounced in Europe than i'll the United
States. Upon the continent of Europe
the amount of milk which is used raw
is really very small, and apparently its
use in this condition is destined to
cease. The younger generation of ply
sicians are now being taught that raw
milk is a dangerous food, and in some
countries even the children in the
schools are being taught that it is not
safe to drink raw milk. Such teaching
can lave only one result, and that is
the reduction in the amount of milk
consumed. Much less milk is used in
Europe than in this country.
