If Farmers Would Profit.

Having for long time been of the
opinion that the reason so many small
farms do not pay is that they are
worked in wasteful and unbusiness
like way, l have ventured, with some
diflidence, to make list of the waste.
full methods that have come under my
observation, not attempting to classify
them, but setting them down in the or
der in which they occurred to me.
Keeping and feeding an animal, or
fowl, or tree, after it has ceased to be
profitable.
The keeping of sickly, undersized or
otherwise inferior stock 1t costs but
little if any more to keep a cow that
gives twelve quarts of milk than to
keep one giving but half that amount,
and the farmer who could own the bet
ter animal, and doesn't, is, to all intents
and purposes, throwing away six quarts
of milk day, to say nothing of the
loss on the calf of the poorer COW,
which is fit only for veal. The same
principle applies to poultry. If the
farmer is SO situated that he could sell
sitting eggs and breeding fowl and
contents himself with keeping mon
grels or under sized fowl, he really
wastes the difference between what he
does get and what he might get for
eggs and poultry.
Keeping fowl confined in small yards,
when by little outlay of money and
some ingenuity, unused pasture or
grass land could be opened to them,
with benefit to both land and hens, and
a saving in the expense for grain.
Growing small crop of grass on
naturally good grass land that could be
made to produce immense crops.
Neglect to study the available mar
ket for crops, to learn what it demands
that can be profitably raised and mar
keted.
Neglect to study the soil and learn
what its capabilities are.
Leaving manure out to be leached by
rain or putting it on the land in Jumps
and piles and leaving it so for any
length of time.
Using green manure on crops that
will not do we'll on green manure.
Making no use of the fertility In
poultry yards.
Leaving chests, barrels and bags of
grain open to the depredstions of rats
and MICE
Over-feeding of animals, fowls and
land
Not feeding balanced rations.
Uncleanly habits in the barn, csus.
ing the milk to be "cowy" and thus
hurting the sale of milk and butter and
injuring the health of people and ami.
mails.
In not doing thing at the time it
ought to be done, as leaving the cult
yation of crop till the weeds have a
strong hold, not attending to the dis
posal of crop when days delay may
make great difference in price, etc.
Leaving till the crowded spring work
that can be done as well in the fall OF
winter.
Using poor seed.
In being turned aside from the course
by trifling distractions.
In neglect of tools.
In neglecting crop after 1t is har.

Alcohol is not food for an athlete

anyone. 1t hardens the tissues of the
body, and that IS not desirable; besides,
1t hardens the liver at the same time.

man ana alcohol the safe side-for the
alcohol-is the outside. Medicinally,it
may have its place, but its use is not to

timatcd that $4,000 men will be in
line. Great preparations have been
made to entertain the visitors.
Philadelphia, June Woodruff
this morning declared that in his
opinion nothing could stop the nomin-
alton of Roosevelt. 1t is as good as
made now. Roosevelt cannot stop the
boom or decline the nomination if
given, because either will be a trait of
surrender to Hanna. Roosevelt, this
morning however, again declared that
he Will never, never, never consent,
no matter what happens, and will
not allow his own state delegation to
endorse him.
The Maine delegates have arrived,
Long first Roosevelt second. Kan

Philadelphia, June 1S.-During the
conference Hanna, Lodge, Roosevelt,
and Odell are combating the impress
sion that the governor is the only man
that can be nominated. They said ::
-"We think we can nominate some one
else leside Rooseyelt." "For God's
sake 90 ahead and do it," responded
the governor.
Odell Is assured the conference of
the New York delegation will take no
action forcing the governor on to con-
yention. To the delegation from
South Dakota Roosevelt said, /" l am
placed in a great and serious guam
Diary. | am not unmindful of the
honor but | believe | can better serve
the party in my New York seat than
in the nation S. Don t see how | can
refuse if nominated but have not yet
made up my mind"
When Platt was informed Of this
remark he said 81 think without
doubt Roosevelt will be the candidate
for vice president.
