Decided Success.

The soldier boys have all returned
from their weeks outing at the
Springfield state encampment and
report very pleasant and profitable
time. General H. c. Clark can be
congratulated on the splendid success
OF his first state encampment The
attendance was larger than any
previous encampment held in the
state and the percentage greater
than that OF any state in the union
on similar occasions The weather
the first OF the week was unfavora BILE
on account of rains, but was cool and
pleasant the last of the week. The
general review by General Clark, the
grand parade through the city and
the sham battle were the PRINCIPAL
events and were mentioned in very
complimentary terms by the press
reports. The grand ball given by
the brigade officers in honor of Mrs.
Clark was the social event of the
week. There were large numbers of
visitors at the camp each day and
excursions were run from the near bv
towns. The Springfield Evening
Record says: A greater number of
eXcursionists arrived in Springfield
than on any previous occasion for
some time past. This morning the
excursion and regular trains on the
Frisco brought $3.50 passengers to
see the sham battle at Camp Bell.
The sentiments of all the regiments
were taken and by an almost unani- |
nous vote Adiutant General Bell was
instructed TO offer their services for
duty in China, should the occasion |
demand.

keeDinE the Eggs Clean.

1t ought to be self-eviient that all
filth of every kind should be removed
from the hens nest. and on no &C
count should one be allowed beneath
the roosts where the hens remain on
their perch through the night. Fowls
always Flss their eNcrement once or
twice. if not oftener. during the
night. and this falling into a hens
nest will inevitably soil the nest and
the eggs. This is bad for the hens.
for it soils their feathers but it is
still worse for the eggs. which have
porous shells. through which foul
odors pass and spoil the egg. The evil
is worst in hot wether as the eff1uvia
destroys the life in the germ OF the
egg. and if the egg is TO be eaten it
does not make ii more appetizing to
know that its porous shell has been
in contact with filth. Therefore buy
ers of eggs should look TO the shells
and reject those that are dirty or
that show signs that they have been
washed.-American Cultivator.

FEEDING FOR PROFIT.
Fhe Greatest Care and Judgment Are
Necessary in Starting Cattle ON
Corn Diet.

In handling cattle be gentle with
them Don't brighten them. Remem-
Der that you are in partnership with
your steers in the beef business. and
partners should be on good terms
with each other. The greatest care
should be taken in starting on corn.
Give plenty of hay and stover (corn
stalks and few ears of corn at each
feeding twice day. Increase the corn
slowly, and see to it that each steer
gets his share. 1t is best to take about
three weeks to get them on full feed.
Corn fodder with ears ON is good to
give them at first. Scatter it over the
grourd. But this is not practical ex-
cept for small bunch. Feed regularly
twice a day and always go an hour be-
fore feeding time and clean out the
managers. If the corn is not too large
and hard it may be fed with shucks on,
breaking the ears. Big. heavy. solid
ears should be shelled. Crushing cob
and grain is some advantage, but may
not pay for the expense If you feed
cob meal, always feed some ear corn
also. Give steers their choice. l
find that it pays to feed clover hay to
beef cattle. Nice corn fodder is SPLEEN
did also. Water regularly and album
dainty. Remember that about one
half of the gain you put on consists Of
water and ii is about the cheapest food
you can give. If you have plenty of
hogs TO take up the waste you can
feed to better advantage. During the
last 30 days of the feeding period. give
dc
day to each steer It will give nice
bloom to their coats. Don't start in
to feed thin lot of steers on full grain
ration. Corn is poor muscle maker.
1t is better to produce muscle on
grass. fodder. and other cheaper feeds
and do the finishing with corn. Nine
tydays ought to be long enough on full
corn feed.-Orange Judd Farmer.

A SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Within three miles of the town go
ing eastward is the farm of Mr.. W.
Dreamer, one of the municipalities
largest and most prosperous mixed
farmers. Mr.. Dreamer came to this
country in 1850 and settled on a por-
ton of the land which comprises his
present enormous farm of 1880 acres.
In coIamon with many others of
similar period he experienced all the
hardships and difficulties common to
the absence of railway and market IA
cilities. In no wise daunted. by en-
ergy. industry and indomitable viii
he has been able TO surmount all OBJ
stacles and has achieved an unpar-
alleled success. and is known through
out the district as one OF its preemi-
1ent farmers. His operations extend
over 1880 acres, two sections fthe
thought alone of so much land makes
the eastern farmer dizzy; 500 acres
of this is broken and the remainder
is excellent pasture land and wood.
This harvest he took off crop of
500 acres of wheat and 200 of other
grains Four hundred acres are
plowed and ready for wheat next
spring. Mr.. Creamer is, as has been
stated, a mixed farmer of no mean
proportions. having at the present
time 20 horses, 90 head of cattle and
so pigs. The most modern farm
buildings are found on his premises,
the main building being a barn So
feet square on a stone foundation
containing stabIing for 10 horses and
a large number Of cattle. The loft
is stored with % loads of sheaf oats
for feed and tons of hay; there is
also a cutting box. Another building
of large dimensions is the granary. in
which after teaming large quantities
to market he still has stored 1900
bushels of wheat 4 crushing ma
chine is in the building. There are a
number of lesser buildings contain
ing chicken house. pig pens and cattle
sheds. The farm residence is a hand
some frame structure of ample pro-
portions. in connection with it is a
wood shed. The water supply is IN
excelled: besides house supply there
is a well in the stables and never
failing spring situate in bluff. which
never freezes. Surrounded by a thick
bluff of poplars. extending il 2 semi
circle to the west. north and east,
the winter storms are broken and &C.
emulation of snow unknown. Added
to his farming operations. Mr.. Cream
er conducts a threshing outfit for the
season. His success is only one in
stance of what can be accomplished
in Western Canada.-Baldur MANI
Gazette. Nov. 10th. 1895.
Thousands are going to Western
Canada this year to take advantage of
the free homestead laws that are be-
ing offered by the government.
