Kansas City Star.
Nearly sixty years ago George Gottfried

Little Things on the Farm.

Up-to-Date Farming.
If our readers can be brought TO a r~ealiza-
ton OF what little things on the farm
means. they will have a better prospect for
success. As our individual prosperity is a
factor I'm the collective prosperity of a COM
munity or nation. so these little things,
while they may not be OF great Importance
on each farm. swell TO a great magnitude
when considered collectively. AS an illus
tration, take the smallest State, Rhode
Island, which has about 22.5O0 COWS. Il
each of these cows can be made 10 produce
1 cents worth more Of milk daily. the value
will be 81, 500 in one year.

the summer, rather than 10 let them spoil
economical in the feed of all stock, TO kill
the bugs and worms before they inJure your
crops, 10 keep the flies off your cows and
other animals and a hundred other things.
IL you, good reader, would start out Mon
day morning with a memorandum book in
your pocket and do all the little things that
should be done until Saturday night and
write them down and put a fair value 10
them, just what you think the mail effect
will be worth, we believe you would be sur
prised.
1t is a fact that farmers are more careless
chants and packers. Particularly the latter
is proverbial for letting nothing go 10

more OF them might become capitalists.

A Successful Farmer.
New York Evening Post

view 10TH ENtIluS IOSl~
An old farmer who died some time ago. in
Sussex county. n. j., was in himself a
practical proof of the fallacy of the oft
repeated declaration that farming does not
pay" Oscar Dunn began life with a farm
bequeathed to him by his father. with the
condition that he pay off the interest of
three other heirs in it. He estimated his
equity as $1,000. When he died. in his
eighty-first year, he owned fifteen of the
best farms in Sussex county. A believer in
farming, he invested his surplus in farms,
always improving them, so that an oscar
Dunn farm" meant one with buildings in
good condition and fields under intelligent
cultivation. On starting out he made sew
eral resolutions to guide him in his business
course, among them these: To make a
study of farming in every detail and know
the business as thoroughly as possible; 10
look after small matters; TO practice rea-
sonable economy in all things; never TO buy
anything he had no use for because il was
cheap; TO pay cash for all purchases: TO
be temperate in all things. He never had
but two notes in a bank, and never had a
lawsuit. He let all his farms on the sharing
system and never had any trouble TO secure
good tenants; some of his tenants have
been on his farms for twenty-one years.
All his leases were oral agreements.

That was a terrible experience in the career of

suffering from diseases were hurried to the
grave no one will ever be able to compute.
The plague which devastated the world

however, Is of annual recurrence in nearly
all parts OF the United States, and the total
OF deaths caused by it among those who
live in houses not adapted TO hot weather,
is probably greater than the total of lives
destroyed by any one plague.
Excessive heat probably did not worry
the people OF those ages. The wealthy
lived in big houses and the poor in nuts.
There were no houses with 'all modern

Mr.. Wingield and his two partners, a

Propagating Plum and Cherry.

Iowa Letter in Orange Judd Farmer.
This subject has not received the careful
attention by propagators of nursery stock
that the importance of the case will war
rant. My experience and observation leads
me 10 the conclusion that one of the prin-
cipal causes of failure in plum growing is
on account OF the methods of propagat-
ing. The Americana plum budded or
grated on Myrobolan stocks Is worthless,
for il fails TO form a good, permanent union
and will survive but a few years and does
not prove fruitful. Neither can the Eu-
rcpean plum be budded or grated sue
cessfully on the Americana or Chickasaw
stocks, for the tree Will soon form a large
knot at the union and the trees Will be
shOrt-liVed. bat will sometimes produce
one OF two crops of fruit. / also wish To
ondemn the budding or grating on Eu-
rOpean or American plum on peach stock,
for IL is disappointing TO the fruit grower.
A few varieties of Chickasaw plum can
be budded on peach stocks, and, II planted
deep. they viii form a fairly good union
ana be more productive than If badded on
any other stock. That distinguished vet
eran plum grower, H.. a. Terry, of Iowa. is
my authority for saying that such varie-
ties as Wild Goose. Milton and Charles
owning will be more productive than
when grown on any other stock. and in
this way you avoid a multitude OF sprouts.
The best methods OF propagating good,
Americana on Americana or Mariana
stocks. The Americana on these stocks
will form a good union and a fine root sys-
TEN. European sorts should be grated on
Myrobolan or st. Julian plum stocks, the
last named being the best TO produce a
dwarf tree.
Propagating the cherry can be done best
by budding in August on Mahaleb or MAJ
yard stocks. The former stocks can be
grated successfully If special care is given
the gratis after grating to keep them in "A
perfectly dormant condition until planting
time. Budding MaZzard stocks is not so

Feeding and Flavor.

Correspondence Orange judo Farmer.
The experience of a subscriber, given re-
Gently. in regard to feeding onions to fowls
is confirmed from an experience of mine
many years ago in trapping muskrats.
After removing the pelts the carcasses
were thrown in a field not far from the
barn, where the hens ranged and fed on
the meat. This produced such a musky fla
vor in the eggs that afterward care was
observed to keep the dead rats out of the
hens reach. At a later period | purchased
a quarter of beef from a farmer who, while
fattening a number Of Steers. fed a large
quantity of turnips. These so tainted the
meat that IL was decidedly distasteful. and
when cooking there was a pronounced smell
of turnips.
