THE FARMERS ADVANTAGE.
With Thrift. Economy and Progress
rive Methods the Farmer IL .
Sure Winner.

Some statistician has observed that
the farmer stands second on the list
OF logevity, the minister averaging
greater number of years. That he is
not first, is due doubtless to viola
tions of hygiene, for in his outdoor
life he certainly has an advantage.
With physiology and hygiene now a
part of our public school education,
il is safe to predict for the next gen
Grafton of farmers still longer term
OF life. "Hayseed" is no longer
terra of reproach. In many sections
the farmer is the "nabob' and GER
tainly in no other occupation is one
freer or more independent. Universe
ty extension and the multiplication of
high schools have raised the educa-
tional standard, and now the rural
mail delivery, rural telephones and
electric street car lines have opened
to the farmer other avenues of direct
communication with the outside
world The agricultural press, de-
velopment of the last quarter of
century, has raised him out of the
rut in which Drawn ruled, and he finds
brain. and n liberal amount of it, as
necessary for farming as for any
other occupation in life.
With the manifold advantages come
equally numerous necessities. Mod
ern implements can not be dispensed
with. The labor question on the
farm is destined to be largely solved
by invention. Machinery is taking
the place of manual labor, and is in
many cases cheaper and more salts
factory. Scrub stock can no longer
be tolerated. The best is uniformly
the most profitable. Say what they
viii at the folly of blooded stock, il
has been repeatedly proved TO be the
most economical in the end, even if
designed for the block. The higher
grades respond more promptly to lib
eral feeding, grow to much larger
size and are more satisfactory in ev-
cry respect.
The suburban home has long been
the ideal one for the city bred. Of
late farming has become fad
among the wealthy, on which they eN-
pend their spare time a portion at
least of their suplus wealth. In it
they find recreation, pleasure, and
profit. through of the latter less than
they could personally supervise. They
find on the farm the happiest life;
and right here is the main point. The
intelligent farmer never had a
brighter outlook, or more incentives
TO progress. He may not become
rich, but he can become prosperous,
enjoying the golden mean" of which
Horace wrote. With all the advant-
ages of the country, those of the
city will soon be equally at his COM
mand. Thrift, economy and progress
are bound TO win.-Bessie L. Putnam,
in Epitomist.

4 FAMOUS OLD house

The house of Walter Baker &, Co.
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tablished one hundred and twenty
one years ago Q7s0) on the Nepon-
set River in the old town of Dorches-

little wooden mill, 'by the rude
bridge that arched the food" where
the enterprise was first started. there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment of the kind in the
world. 1t might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and 90.
Walter Baker & Co. go on forever.

success? 1t is a very simple one.
They have won and held the conf

HERE AND THERE,

Ignorance of bird and insect
life costs the farmers millions of dol
lars annually. Ignorance of the COM
monest plant and animal diseases
costs many millions more.
The man with "a little money"
never had better chance for invest
ment than right now. In stocks and
bonds? No. In partnership with some
elderly farmer who has a good farm
and wants partner to work it.
-"Book-farming" Is a term in de-
served disrepute. 1t does not succeed,
and success is a necessity. But the
trouble often is not with the book,
but with the man who does the farm
ing. He is too purely theorist.
Raising stock, like every other
business, requires systematic work TO
bring success. Periodical changing
from one kind of stock, or one breed
to another. is like selling out and
moving to a new Observation-Disclosures
beginning anew and giving 10 the wind
all previous work.
1t is estimated that from 600 to
500 persons have left east Tennessee
for Oklahoma in the last three or four
months, for the purpose of rushing
into the new territory to be opened
for settlers in August.
The only thing in the way of
proiitably growing sunflowers on a
large scale is the lack of market for
the seed. Cotton seed oil mills could
easily arrange TO handle the crop. and
the oil IS far more valuable than thai
which they now produce.

THE FARMERS PROSPERITY.
Who Takes Advantage of His
Opportunities.

Never in the history of this country
was there a brighter outlook for
American farmers than at the present
time. We trust there is not reader
of the Epitomist who will fail TO put
his shoulder to the wheel and take adj
vantage of what is in store for every
industrious farmer. The time of the
calamity bowler and for the crv of
hard times is a thing of the past. The
farmer to-day is the most useful and
prominent industrial subject; the
products of his industry having the
greatest call and demand of the many
industries of our United States. near
~ all of which are most actively en-
gagged at this time. While it is true
he has encountered many difficulties
and depressions for several years
past, yet at the same time he has ex-
perienced less hardships and enjoyed
more privileges and freedom than
those of most any other calling, and
now that the brightest days of his
existence are ia sight no one can
help but realize his greatness and in
dependence
Farming pays handsomely if YOU
make it pay. Well directed effort. ju-
dicious rotation of crops and proper
marketing of products are the points
to which attention must be paid. No
business will pay unless conducted
upon correct principles. But it de-
Ponds largely upon the farmer The
twentieth century farmer should be
unlike those who have pegged away
ON the same plan since Columbus dis
covered America. He should be prop
erly balanced as to brain and muscle,
and should use the former fully as
much as the latter. No farmer of
sound mind and unimpaired health
should fail at farming, for it, more
than any other occupation, is sug-
gestive of its own requirements snc-
ceeding success. Like any other vo-
cation farming has its ups and down.
Practical, scientific, we'll directed

"A large class of people in some
way have become possessed of the
opinion that the goat is practically
useless animal. They do not reach
conclusions upon Investigations. how
ever, and do not discriminate be-
tween the different kinds. To them a
goat is goat" and there the argu-
ment ends. Investiga tions prove
that the Angora goats are not only
classed among the most useful of the
domestic animals, and have been so
classed for thousands of years. but
their usefulness is manifested in a
variety of ways. The fleece, called
"mohair," furnishes some of the fin
est of fabrics among ladies' goods
and is used in various other manufac-
lures; their habit of browsing ena-
bles the farmer in a wooded locality
to use them to help in subiuga ting
the forest; their flesh is exceedingly
delicate and nutritious: the milk,
though not SO abundant as the mich
breed of goats, is richer than cows
milk; their tanned skins, though in
ferior in quality to the skins of the
common goat, are used for leather;
their pelts make the neatest of rugs
and robes; they are excellent pets for
children; few of them in a flock of
sheep are a protection from wolves
and dogs; their manure is noticeably
helpful to the grass which follows
them after they have cleaned away
the underbrush. These are all vital
subjects of varying degrees of i'm
portance.-Government Bulletin.

TRADE REPORT.

New York-Bradstreet report for
last week says:
The general situation was without
important change, the events of the
Week appearing to accentuate hereto
fore prevailing conditions. Distribu-
tive trade and speculation in securi-
ties continue large in volume with
prices rising in the more favored in
dustries or dropping in those suffering
from suppression. AS types of these
movements, the iron and cotton gods
industries were pre-eminent and these
two seem like opposite poles, so
marked is the difference in trade in
feeling and conditions. In most other
industries the reports were quite ia
vorable, notable in this direction ue-
ing the lumber, leather and hardware
and implement trades. Western and
southern distriDutive trade reports are
quite favorable and the reports of
active demand for dry goods and cloth
ing at the west contrast sharply with
the reports of dull business and the
receding prices of print cloths,
bleached cottons and other fabrics at
! first hands.
Railway returns continued highly
, favorable, confirming reports hereto
fore published of activity in general
shipping, and reports of a shortage of
cars, a strange one at this time of
year, come from Chicago and other
large centers. Clearings are of heavy
volume and in this, as in nearly all
other branches of trade Improvement,
present records SURPRISING pre-
viously recorded for this season OF
the year.
Conditions in the domestic iron and
steel demand recall the boom of 1889,
and it becomes more and more evident
that an enormous cOnsumptive de-
mand, discouraged by the high prices
of a year ago, is now coming freely
into the market.
Wool is in larger sale and foreign
markets are quite strong. Eastern
stocks are said to be small and de-
clining and the situation is gradually
readjusting itself.
The government report of wheat in
farmers hands pointing to 10000, 900
bushels less now held than year ago,
was regarded as bullish feature and,
counted with the light northwestern
receipts, caused rise, which was,
however, taken advantage Of to realize
and the net change for the week is
slight. Wheat, including flour ship
mentS for the week, aggregate 1888.
$50 bushels, against 4,229,5 bushels
last week. 2,727, 450 bushels for the
