THRIFTY CATTLE BREEDING.

All kinds of cattle feeds are higher
this year than last and will continue
so during the winter. Profits in rails
ing cattle must always be governed
great deal by the cost Of wintering
them, says E. P. Smith in Mdssachn
sets PIougbn1aaa, and not a few farmers
question themselves whether it will
be wise to attempt to carry as much
stock over this season as last. If one
could tell just what cattle would bring
next spring in the market it would be
easy enough to decide. But there are
indications that cattle will be cheaper
next spring than last. If so, how
much stock can we afford to winter?
Not more than we feed carefully and
economically without going into the
market after expensive food. Econo
my in feeding will never cut more
prominent figure in the cattle bust
ness than this year. The difference
between the cost of feed and what we
get cattle for next spring will be the
amount that will be marked off by
many as gain or loss. In a great many
instances cattle were wintered last
season at loss. Many were tired of
carrying them on expensive feed, and
they rushed the cattle on the early
spring market. Prices broke, and the
receipts were so slow in some instance
that actual loss was met.
There is always opportunity to
make full profits by carrying good
cattle through the winter, and it is
rarely that a good breeder loses
money. There must be, however, con-
slant economizing and study of
the market conditions. The food
question must also bear a certain
relationship to the market price of
cattle at all times, and it is by keep
ing this proportion always in your
favor that gains are made. When
corn or other feed goes up dollar or
two ton there is necessity of making
a ton go just so much further by in
creasing the use of other kinds of
food that can be obtained cheaper

OUR FARMERS,
SPREADING MANURE UPON THE
SNOW.

An early and heavy snow fall, while
tending to diminish natural losses of
plant food, is apt to favor artificial
losses. It is apt to deter the farmer
from hauling out his manure supply.
Too many farmers hold to the mis-
taken notion that spreading manure
upon the snow is a wasteful practice,
that much Of it's value is lost by leach
ing and by running off of the surface
in the spring. They point to darkened
SHOWS, to discolored waters and to
green meadows at the base Of the hill
sides as proof of these. It is probably
true that some loss occurs in this way,
but it is usually supposed. Those who
are frightened by this, however,
should study the barn losses, should
know that, as ordinarily kept, manure
deteriorates more in the barn cellar
or in the manure heap than it does in
the field; that it is better for manure
to leach on the soil it is meant to fer
tilize than in proximity to the barn
and the family well; that it will fer
ment less outdoors than it will in
doors; that, in short, experiment and
experience alike show that the hous-
ing of manure in the winter for spring
hauling is seldom better and generally
worse than spreading it upon the
snow as fast as it is made. Some will
be lost if spread; more, however, will
be lost if kept at the barn; and the
springs work will be just so much the
further behind.
Experiment station bulletins preach
this doctrine, institute speakers pro-
pound it, and farmers are yearly
practicing it more extensively. 1t is
the modern notion, and the right one.
The winter manuring of a steep side
hill may not be advisable; but moder-
ate slopes or level pieces Of not too
leachy land may be safely fortified
any day in the year except Sundays.

YOUNG MEAT.

There is an undoubted demand for
prime young beef and mutton made
ready for the market under conditions
that will produce rich, red, tender
meat, suitable for the consumers of
choice goods. This meat is difficult
to secure in any market and it is al
ways high priced, Efor customers who
can secure it are willing to pay extra
for it. This meat, says an exchange,
cannot be raised without attention to
what is needed. In the case of beef,
the cattle are not young calves, but
animals that are brought to maturity
rapidly and finished off perfectly.
Old cattle finished off after their third
or fourth year do not produce as de-
sirable meat as the year and a half
animal brought to maturity under
good feeding and care. The proper
time to finish off cattle for the fancy
market is from one TO two years old.
The nearer we can get the former the
better, provided the animal has
reached full maturity and weighs
about as much as it ever will. 1t is
question Of feeding and breeding so
that the animal grows smoothly and
rapidly from the time Of it's birth to
the day it is sold for the fancy market.

NERVES IN THE NURSERY.

The child of the nervous mother
inherits the temperament, intensified
by unfavorable pre- natal influences,
in many cases. One doctor has re-
marked that every baby is chronic
invalid for the first three months of
it's life. Without taking so extreme a
view, it is easy to believe that many
baby begins life with every circum-
stance favorable for the speedy dew
elopment of nerve disease. What
does the nervous mother ask herself
in moments when nerves are strain
kind? "Resti" she chiefly demands.
"Leave me! Let me have quiet,
darkness, freedom from all effort"
We accord the nervous baby exact
ly opposite treatment We answer
as if it entreated, Crock me! Toss
me! Shake rattles at mel Sing to
me, shout, jump at me! Show me a
light, anything to keep me awake and
excited!" Tradition takes a strong
hold in the nursery. 1t is voted cruel
very mother who best recognizes the
value of ''good cry' in calming her
own overweight feelings, can least
make up her mind to allow the same
relaxation to the baby for whose nerv-
Gus condition she is probably entirely
to blame.
The tiny baby's fretfulness is as a
rule, purely physical, and especially
dependent on overexcited nerves
Any mother who will allow her baby
to grow for at least six months of it's
life in restful atmosphere, absolute
ly unstimulated beyond it's natural
pace of development, will have food
for thought in comparing her results
with those of the more common train
ing.-Good Housekeeping.

CAS- OTHERS SEE Us"

A drunkard in New Orleans was re-
Gently saved in a peculiar manner
from continuing his career of dissipa
ton. The young man in question,
says an exchange, was of fine family
and had splendid gifts, but was going
down as fast as it was possible for a
man to go through strong drink. His
friends had pleaded with him, but he
had taken their warnings as an insult.
One day one of them, who was
shorthand writer, determined to try
new tack with him. He was sitting
at restaurant one evening, when the
young man in question came in with
companion and took the table next to
him, sitting with his back to him, and
not seeing him. He was Just drunk
enough to be laxative about his pri-
vate affairs, and on the impulse of the
moment the stenographer pulled out
his notebook and took full short
hand report of every word he said.
1t was the usual maudlin folly of
young man with his brain muddled by
drink, and including a number of
highly candid details of his daily life
things that when he was sober he
would as soon have thought of putting
his hand in the fire as of speaking
about to a casual acquaintance.
The next morning the stenographer
copied the whole thing neatly and
sent it round to the young mans
Office. In less than ten minutes he
came stearing in with his eyes fairly
starting out of their sockets.
"Charley," he gasped, "what is this,
anyhow"
"It's stenographic report of your
monologue at the restaurant last eve
ning," his friend replied, and gave
brief explanation.
"Did I really talk like that?" he
asked, family.
81 assure you it is an absolutely
verbatim report" was the reply.
The young man turned pale and
walked out. He never drank another
drop.

10, TIE POOR INDIAN!

The untutored savage has been at il
again. He has never been able tC
perceive differences, which perception
lies at the very foundation of an edu
cation.
An Indian is as big fool to-day as
a white woman. We say this without
fear Of contradiction. She thinks she
is entitled to the privileges and pre-
rogagatives of her white brother, and
the red man thinks the same of him
self. Poor Lo! we sympathize with
him, dirty and mean as he is. We
have a sort Of a fellow feeling for him
regardless of his antecedents. Mr..
Chief Bush Ear, of Leech Lake, Mimi.
and he has his limitations. For in :
stance, he can not see why he can not
sell liquor to his subjects, especially
as he comes of royal blood in his own
right, when every pesky nobody who
wants to can sell it to these same sub
jects, down in Duluth, in spite of the
same law he violated. Why his men
should be jerked up and carried away
to trial for selling whiskey to their
fellowmen, and then the whites OPEN
ly sell it to these same dusky warriors,
is past his benighted comprehension.
There is just where our fellow feeling
comes in.
Temperance women, alike with the
~ uTirr
not find any line of reason, hair split
as they may, for arresting and trying
an Indian for the same thing white
man does with impunity. The Indian
ought to be arrested. The white man
ought to be arrested, but the howl
would be like the sound of many
waters if he were to be. Poor Indian,
he can't get the dead and down timber
promised him, the mixed bloods and
the white men with squaw wives get
ahead of him. He can't get dead
drunk without being arrested. He
can't even sell fire water without
being carried away for trial where he
has the aggravation of seeing white
men do the same thing, in violation
of their own laws, yet without re-
straint or reproof, much less impris-
onment. Poor Mr.. Lo! We cannot
but have certain respect for his state
of mind. How he must in his philo
sophical moments long for civilization,
that he might understand the mys-
teries Of the license system and the
spirits that doth enliven the white
man, at times and seasons, all law to
the contrary notwithstanding.

pouring hot tea into his saucer, an
old fashioned and out of date custom
be it known, which used to be in
vogue, and is now thought "horrid,"
his forgetfulness to fold up his nap
kin, his leaving the door open when
he went out, etc., etc. None of these

WRESTLING AND WHISTLERS.
Negroes Not Allowed to Whistle or
the Streets in South Africa.

There seems TO be something in the
negroes makeup that naturally 1ncllneS
him to be inSOlent to the white man,
wherever found.
Il have just noticed IN a magazine an
interesting item bearing on this trait
of negro character" yesterday remarked
Judge ThOs. c. Fuller, of the United
States Land Claims Court. ut stated
that in the TranSvaal the Kaftrs. who
are black men, are prohibited by law
from whistling ON the streets and high
WAYS. This law was passed because
whistling is way in which the negro
in South Africa, as in America, shows
his contempt for the white man passing
by. 1t may be noticed on the streets
of every city.
Then there is another class Of whist
lers The idle fellow, who whistles be-
cause he has nothing better TO do.
There's an old coupled which says:
He tiudged along not knowing what
he sought
And whstled for the want OF
thought
"And another one, containing about az
much truth runs thus:
"A whis'lin' gal and a CROWN hen
Never came to any good en-"
It is said of the late DIR. Blacknall
hat he disliked whistling very much, and
while keeping the hotel at Morehead
City he put up this sign:
Guests will please not whistle; the
hell boys are paid to do all our whist
ling"
Still another sign ran thus:
Gentlemen never whistle and other
reople seldom do"
1t need not be added that the Doctor
vas not trubled that summer by whist
ing in the hotel
