Hold the Cow TO a GOOD Age.

We do not agree with The notion that
every cow should be forced and run
through as quickly as possible and then
discarded, says the Practical Doiryman.
Rather, we say, get good COW and
then take measures TO keep her in good
paying shape as long as possible.
Cows twelve to fifteen years old often
do as we'll or better than younger ones
We have COW fully fifteen years old
which gives as much milk now as she
ever did. 1t does not injure COW to
feed her well, even with rich grain,
if this is done in rational manner. Ii
is not the use of COW to her full ca
pacity which destroys, but rather abuse
by unwise feeding and handling. We
believe that almost any good cow,
rightly managed, will yield well nigh
her full quantity and quality of milk
up to the age of twelve years. If this
is so why throw her away at the age of
from six to eight years2 1t takes two
or three years after she first comes to
get the heifer up to her full capacity.
Therefore we should keep her as long
as we can proftably when she gets to
be mature COW, and not be possessed
of the false idea that COW should be
gotten rid of while she is yet in her
prime. Continually making unneces-
sary changes in the personnel of the
dairy COWS occasions many troubles
and annoyances that may just as we'll
be saved.

Live Stock Market.

The offerings at Brighton last Tuesday
aggregated l GAS cattle, % sheep and lambs,
602 swine, SOB veal calves, besides horses
and poultry.
In northern and eastern beef cattle BUSH
ness was somewhat slack. Supplies were
light and of quality that did not COM

ed were: beef cows, average $40 lbs, 21c;
4 beef cows, average 800 lbs. 24c; 4 beef

cows, average 900 lbs &c.
For mitch cows and springers there was a
good speculative demand, but milkmen
thought prices too high and held off the
market.
The tone OF the: market for veal calves
was stronger, because of better demand,
due probably to more favorable climatic
conditions. Sales: % calves, average 131

BrOiling Chickens.

At a recent farmers institute som e
questions was raised as to the prices
of broilers and their weight. A repre-
sentative of the NeD England Farmer
recently interviewed some of the mar
ketmen on the subject to get their
version of the story. The demand for
broile.s calls for those OF light weight,
as the hotel or restaurant keeper can
not afford 10 serve too large an order
at the going price. Consequently the
smaller the chicken, provided it is
plump, we'll grown and well dressed
the higher the price. Broilers weigh
ing from one and one-half to two
pounds are worth twenty-five cents
per pound. Smaller ones weighing
from one-half to three-fourths of a
pound are quoted at go to 70 cents per
pair, which makes them a trfe better
than 30 cents per pound.

not gone so far as to employ men to
instruct in agriculture but their policy
has been one of encouragement in this
matter and whenever requested they
have generally furnished. transportation

would be short-sighted policy to neg
lect to encourage the development of
the agricultural or any other industry
along the line and we are sure railroad
managers are sharp enough to use ev-
cry effort for the development of indus
tries from o selfish motive if no other.
So far as we know the railroads of New
England have aided and encouraged all
agricultural organizations and societies
in perfecting arrangements and attend
ing meetings. They have sometimes
been charged with doing this from an
improper motive and to secure the in
auence of such organizations for their
schemes but there is no evidence of
the truthfulness of these statements.
LII 10 quite probable that II Is done, as
in the western instance, from a selfish
motive, knowing that the more pros
porous an o. ganization becomes, and
the more meetings and fairs it holds,
the more business will it make for the
railroad. The railroad managers also
recognize the influence of a prosperous
farmers organize ton in the develop
ment of rural sections. These are
reasoo that have actuated the mana
gers Of New England railroads TO adopt
a liberal policy towards the farmers
which has completely removed all I'M
just antagonism against railroads and
railroad policies. These friendly re-
lations are better for all concerned and
are appreciated by the farmers as ex-
pressed in many ways.-Exchange.

The Hired Man on the Farm,

The hired help question upon the
farm is difficult matter to settle and
often results in great annoyance and
farm work is greatly impeded when
things go wrong in this matter. The
ideal method is to have a house in
which the hired man can live with his
family upon or near the farm, for this
will enable the farmer to secure more
reliable and more regular help than
when single men are employed. AS
for hiring man and his wife to work
nd live in the farmers family it is
out of the question except in very rare
instances, for things do not run smooth
ly under this arrangement.
A large proportion of the farmers
who hire help will board it in their
families and the greatest care should
be exercised in regard to the character
of the men brought into ones family to
associate with the children. Cheap
help is often the dearest in the end in
other ways than that of influence
upon members of the family. Temper
ate, honest, neat men who will work
faithfully for the farmers interest de-
serve good pay and proper respect. A
writer in Prairie Farmer says
GA farmer should be careful about
the private character of the men he
employs remembering that his family,
especially his growing sons, will neces-
sarily come in daily contact with them.
| We have seen hired men whose char
acters were such that they should not
be allowed in company with a family
of boys and girls. The hired mans
room should be comfortable and should
contain the necessary toilet articles,
however cheap; then see that he keeps
the room clean and neat. They should
be allowed plenty of time to milk clean
and neatly; careless milking causes
dirty milk. In warm weather it is
convenience to have place for wash
ing the more offensive dirt from the
hands before coming to the kitchen
sink. 1t is better to hire a good, in
dustrious man that will work for your
interests, even if yon do have to pay a
few dollars more per month. "-Ex-

Railroads Helping Farmers.

There has been most remarkable
change in the attitude of farmers
toward railroads in recent years. This
has largely been brought about by
disposition on the part of railroad man
ayers to aid farmers and the farming
interests in educational matters by all
means within their power. In the
newer sections of the West this has
been demonstrated in hiring specialists
upon different farm topics and sending
them along the line of the railroad to
hold farmers meetings and to give the
farmers instruction in branches of
farming specially adapted to the re-
spective localities. In sections adapt
ed to dairying the construction of
creameries Was encouraged and profit
able breeds of cows advocated. The
same was done in other farm industries
in other localities, resulting in the de-
velopment Of the farming industry all
along the line. This may have been
from selfish motive ON the part Of the
railroad managers, knowing that addi-
tional farm products meant additional
business for the railroad in transport
ing products and supplies, but it was
also an aid to the farmers, and we are
told has entirely changed the feelings
of the farmersin many sections towards
railroads.
In New England the railroads have
