Inspection of Feeding Stuffs.

The samples of concentrated COM
mercial feeding stuffs collected by the
Station inspectors in December. 1899,
have just been analysed and the results
tabulated and sent to the printers. AS it
will be a month before the bulletin will be
ready for distribution, the Station avails
itself of the courtesy Of this paper to bring
the more important results OF the inspec-
ton to the puplic.
One hundred and fifty-six samples Of
the different feeding stuffs have been ex-
amined. Five lots of unguaranteed cot
tonseed meal were found but these were
all high grade goods. With one exception
all of the cottonseed meal agreed fairly
well with the guarantee. This one lot
was unusually high in lat and incomplete
extraction of the oil probably accounts for
the low protein.
There is no reason for thinking that the
goods found falling below guarantee were
so intentionally. One of the objects of
the law is to make dealers and manufact-
urers know the quality of the goods they
put out The Secretary of the Board OF
Agriculture is obliged to give the offend
ing parties notice that they have not more
than 90 days in which to comply with the
requirements of the law. 1t is to be hop
ed that the dealers will Immediately
change the guarantee to correspond with
the quality of the goods. Although at
present guaranteed higher, purchasers can-
not count upon the following brands car
rylpg more protein than given below.
Chicago Gluten Meal. 81 to 80 per cent.
protein.
S. A. & J. H. True Co.'S Linseed Meal,
20 to 80 per cent. protein.
Cleveland Flax Meal, IS to 60 per cent.
protein.
Nash Mfg. Co.'s Beef Scraps, 43 10 "A
per cent protein.
Victor Corn and Oat Feed, 7. so to 8. Sc
per cent. protein.
With these exceptions the concentrated
commercial feeding stufs coming under
the law agree quite closely with the guar
antees.

The Dairy Farmer.

The dairy farmer is more prosperous
than most of the general farmers largely
because his business is more of cash
business than theirs. The effect is seen
also on the tradesmen in dairy commune
ties The credit system is with many
tradesmen stretched to the limit We
have heard of some farming communities
where the farmers do not settle more than
once year. This is very hard on the
men that sell them goods. especially on
the men of small capital. The farmer
must needs be charged good round in
,erest 10 the way of higher price for
goods, Not only does the tradesman
frequently lose his bill, but in other cases
the farmer, keeping no account of what he
buys, finds himself deeply 10 debt. often
so deeply that he cannot get out without
making some great sacrifice. The dairy
man receives his pay as he goes and pays
as he goes. This is best all round 1t is
system that is bound to make him mast
er of the situation, and moreover win for
him the respect of every man with whom
he deals. -Farmer's Exchange.

The Busy Hen.

1t is the busy hen that is profitable on
the farm. This is not saying that none
other are profitable, but as rule it is safe
to select the busy hen. The average far
mer cannot afford to spend too much time
with fancy fowls. BY fancy fowls we do
not mean such as are pure bred. but such
as are bred for fancy points. We would
have them possessed of utility points, and
if these are found in conjunction with
fancy ones, all the better. The average
farmer wants good grade of fowls that
will get down TO business without having
to be treated as if they belonged to the
royal family and yet they need right royal
treatment if they are TO produce good
results. We do Lot favor scrub fowls any
more than we do the purely fancy fowls.
The latter is a show bird and the former
shows how easy it is to lose money on
poultry Occasionally the scrubbest kind
Of hen will lay scores of eggs and be
happy and will make her owner happy,
but she is the exception rather than the
rule.
As no farm is complete without poultry,
il behooves the farmer to keep such Hook
as will serve his purposes. II the kind he
now has are doing fairly WELL why would
it not be good plan to have some that
will do little better2 He may have an
even grade of fowls of some of the many
goods breeds, and by providing them
good quarters, with plenty of the right
kind Of feed, he will not be fooling away
his time with them. When anything ON
the farm is profitable it is a pleasure to
keep il so, but when it is on the down
grade there is tendency to get rid of it
or slghl it, and we are inclined to the
OPINION that this is one reason why so
many focks are neglected on the farm.
They are not profitable and the owner
feels that it is waste of time 10 do any
thing for them. Keep the hens busy;
feed them so they will be busy; house
them so they will have willingness to be
busy and it will not matter so much
whether they score 81 or 81. Some
provision ought to be made by the farmer
to have score arranged for profit along
egg and meat production lines, and the
fowl that will score highest along such
lines will be the fowl for him. Every far
n.er can take almost any of the pure-bred
fowls and by judicious and skillful manage
ment make them profitable, and it is much
easier 10 do this wi h we'll defined breeds
than with lot OF nondescripts. When
they are all alike the demands for one of
them will suit for the whole lot. Keep
good fowls and keep them busy. Keep
yourself busy in keeping them clean and
healthy and they will be reproductive

When men wore clothes like these,
Charles II. of England issued a
proclamation suppressing coffee
houses. He considered them "hot
beds of sedition " and dangerous to
the public peace.
Times have changed since then.
In these days benevolent persons
establish coffee houses, having
learned that they promote the public
welfare. The reason for this is that
they drink coffee at home them
selves, and know its virtue.
Perhaps if it had been possible
for King Charles to have known
such coffee as we have to-day, the
kind that is sold by Chase & San
born, he would have done different.
No one can fail to be benefited

As a New Years sentiment for the

More faith in the business, more intensive
work along all lines, a broadening of the
farm and a cheapening of their cost by
adding to the producing capacity of the
soil, and last but by no means least. a
more close study into the details of the
work and broadening of the agricultural
horizon by fuller appreciation of the

Human Flowers.

legsn Grange, by Il. May lawrence
In the springtime comes the flowers,
Springing from the earth so bear,
Daffodils and dandelions,
Ma, flowers and yiolets fair.
Did you never think about it,
How from out the lap of earth,
Each tiny wayside flower takes
The thing of greatest worth
Unto herself; gown of green,
A cap of blue, she wisely takes,
And never through thousand
Years makes any mistakes.
The flowers Of spring are modest;
Often hidden from our sight,
Growing closely to earth's bosom
And receive but little light.
So we hunt them in the meadows,
Searching the woodlands with care,
Proudly we gather them, knowing
They will fill our homes with rare,
Sweet fragrance. So we cherish them,
While they send out perfume like prayer,
For we'll we know their frailty
The heats of summer cannot bear.
The summer has its roses bright,
The autumn its golden rod
Every season some beauty brings,
Wherever man has trod.
No two flowers are Just the same,
And no two blades OF grass;
And no two twigs upon a tree
Wherever man may pass
Beneath their boughs. What wonderous
care
In this has the Creator shown.
That each twig. or blade, or flower
Should forever stand alone.
Humanity is like the flowers,
A season of each is lent.
The violets, spring, the roses, summer,
The frost flowers Autumn sent.
But no two souls were just alike
In all the ages that are past;
And no two souls will be like
In all the ages that's to last,
Until the fires within our world
Shall break the crust Of earth apart;
And we as one great separate whole
Shall pass to Gods great heart.
Two flowers from our number here
We miss and sadly mourn, today.
To know them was to love them;
They'll be in our hearts Away.
No other forms can take their place;
No others words 10 us 80 true;
And those who knew them best we'll knew,
No other hands like theirs could do
Deeds of kindness. But we fear TO
Wish them back with us to bear
The trials of advancing life,
The frost time of the year.
Sweet they were, like woodland mayfowers,
Many times worth finding OUT
Making Joy within their households,
Shedding fragrance all about.
When once we have discovered where
The modest violets grow,
We know that there we will find them
When the winters ice and snow
Have vanished. Our faith is perfect
That when Gods springtime doth appear,
Our loved ones we shall know again
Even as we knew them here.
