family for years, after IL has ceased to
be profitable, and another to keep ono
that is not and never was able TO earn
its keeping. Yet while not many
farmers feel able to do the former for
sentiments sake. there are hundreds
who are doing the latter from no other
reason than an objectionable ignor-
ance as to the cost of keeping, ard the
actual results received from the AMI
NAL. The Babcock test Is doing much
to weed out some of the Improbable
cows, when used in connection with
the regular weighing of the milk, but
other animals need TO be looked after.
Sheep need TO be culled carefully
every year, and those that do not pro-
duce and bring up good lambs and a
good shearipg of wool should be fitted
for mutton. There is many man who
keeps horse, when he could hire one
to do the work he has 70" him Mt less
than the cost of feeding, and others
who keep two, though one could do the
work excepting during few days in
the year. Weed out the Improbable
animals even If obliged to kill and
bury them. They may do the world

The Battles OF Nature.

We read the tablets OF long ago
which the geologist has declphered for
us, and we find them an endless story
of battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological hor-
lions have come out Of great tribula-
tion. The trllobites and some lilies of
the silurian period, the gigantic club
moss and fluted siglllarans of the coal
age, the enormous ammonites of. the
jurasslc and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and majestic deer forms of
the tertiary era, are magnates OF the
times and masterpieces of the strug-
gle. They had been redeemed at a
great price, even of n thousand spe-
cles and tens of thousands OF individ-
uals, who fell short of the typical 1T
ness and We're killed out. These mag
mates, each In its turn, were pioneers
of progress, like the scouts of q great
army, and We're caught In a physiolog-
ical ambush.

In the preparation of seed wheat DIFF
ferent methods are adopted to provide
against smut. One which prevails In
some parts OF the country is simple
and may be tried by any person. Take
a common washtub about twothlrds
full OF water, and pour into 1t half n
bushel of wheat, and after stirring
with stick, skim or pour off what
rises on the water, taking care not
to let the good grain run out; then
empty into basket or some vessel
that will retain the wheat, and drain
off the water; put 1t on n clean floor
and sift or sprinkle onto 1t about n
peck of dry ashes. stirring II over thor

With the ashes, and serving the whole
quantity to be sown in the same way.
After II has lain few hours II will be

sure preventive in every case of trial
with me, but when 1t has been omitted
there has been plenty of smutty grain.
