Well did Jefferson say, II would
rather live. in a country with news
papers and without government
than In a country with govern
ment but without newspapers" and
Bonaparte, -Four hostile newspapers
are more to be dreaded than a hum
dred thousand bayoaets." .
We wonder how many OF our read
ers ever stopped to think what they
would do If all the newspaper should
suddenly cease to appear. :.
We will. suppose that all the electric
lights should be destroyed. There
would lie other lamps OF every de-
scriptio1 to take their place. II the
steamships and railroads were abol-
ished we could still get on with the
sailing ship and stage coach. In
place of the telegraph and telephone
we could depend on the mails. II the
steam power should cease to exist, we
could employ the earlier and simpler
motor forces. But suppose the news
paper swept out OF existence, what
could take it's place? 1t does not seem
too extravagant to say that Its alb
sence would be felt more than that OF
any other device Of modern ingenu-
~. But how is it appreciated? How
many of you readers know what
thought and study, money and labor
it costs to print newspaper? 1t may
seem an easy thing to sit down and
write up few columns, but we wish
to state right here that when you get
down to work and keep it up you will
find it nc easy task. Yet an editor is
sneered at, laughed at. criticised and
cussed more than any man on earth
but II the newspapers should club
together and cease to come out would
there not be sore lot of people in
this world?

1AE FARMERS, COLLEGE.

The tendency to divert the state agri-
cultural college from agricultural aims
and purposes cannot but be admitted.
Also it cannot but be regretted. The
first purpose of such a college is to edu-
cate farmers in farming. Belle lettres
and military science must be subordinate
if considered at all. Agriculture and
cognate and allied sciences are the things
to be taught, whether anything else gets
attention or not.
In Massachusetts, we have so far kept
the college true to the purposes fol-
which it was established, though the
tendency above referred to has shown
occasional symptoms. In Connecticut
there has been q tussle between the
scatter-gun policy and the stick-to-agri-
culture. In Kansas similar fight is on,
even now. In New Hampshire there
have been covert endeavors to make the
agricultural college something else, but
they have failed. In Maine there was
quite a disturbance over the issue
None of our institutions of learning il
more important to the state or to the
people than the agricultural college. II
should be protected from every assault
on its genuineness. Journal.

CLIPPINGS.

Said an observant friend to me: "TwO
Young fellows came to-day for loans:
Each had bought small farm, and
wanted 81 600 to add to his capital for
the first payment. One is a robust fel-
low, full of hard work, and he will not
spend an unnecessary dollar upon hired
labor. The other fellow is an alert,
thoughtful man, but he has a pronounced
limp. and can never follow q team full
time. You may think me foolish, but
am banking upon the success OF the
second man rather than the first. De
will have to take time to plan, to think,
TO use his head. am afraid the otneI
one will depend chiefly upon that strong
BODY he has been given, and 1t taxes

The high price of beef, in contrast to
the low price of milk, advanced COST o,

in dairy farming will have tendency &c

serreR STOCK FOR THE FARMe

SETTER STOCK FOR THE FARMER.
The farmer should exert every rea-
souable effort to raise the standard OF
quality in his breeding stock. The only
practicable way for the farmer to do is to
select the herd that comes nearest his
needs or pleasure, and breed it or toward
it.
The great future of the West is live
stock. Beef cattle predOminate. The
farmer who selects type with beef pro-
duction lesser consideration is making
q mistake.
The farmer does not need to burden
himself with debt to go into improved
stock. The first essential is bull. The
first calves will be half.b,oods, the sec
ond generation will be quarter, and the
third should and will be high-class
grades. .
The cost of the beginning can be little
or much. High priced animals are not
always practicable for the average farm
er stockman. In pedigree stock there is
always value, but no stOckman will con-
suit the ancestry of an animal and ignore
the vigor and general conformation of
| the breed.
The cost to care for pure bred or high
grade stock is no greater than for the
mongrel, and the profit when brought to
the stockyards is invariably greater. No
other proof need be given than general
consultation of the daily live stock mar
ket. All intelligent breeders before
buying an animal insist on knowing
something of his pedigree, regardless of
his many apparent qualities. The ped
igree is what the breeder understands as
guarantee of the animals ability to
reproduce what his formation repre-
sents.
The great fault with many farmers is
that they insist on mixing their breed
ing. The stockman cannot make a sue
| cess that does this crossing indiscrim-
inately. Sometimes it may become nee
essary to change the breeding by intro
ducing new blood of another breed,
but it is never wise or necessary to use
bulls of first one breed, then another,
and mix crossing, with no definite object
in view.-Chicago Drovers' Journal.

90 NOT EXCITE M,lcn COWS.

90 NOT EXCITE MlLcH COWS.
When we talk about preserving the
quality of milk in hot weather, We must
remember that some milk keeps better
than others.
mean by this that there are different
grades of resistance to the action Of de-
generate bacteria, and that some milk
will keep sweet and pure longer than
other kinds under the same condi-
tions.
How is this to be accounted for? one
would naturally ask.
First, the healthfulness and vigor Of
the COW in great measure warrants the
healthfulness and purity of her milk, as
does also the character of the food she
eats.
Pure, healthy milk will not sour or
taint prematurely, unless under the most
adverse atmospheric conditions.
One frequent cause of rapid degener-
ative change in milk in hot weather.
cause that is too often overloOked-is
the over-heating of cows prior to milk
ing.
To rush cows into the stable from the
pasture, night or morning, is to excite
them sufficiently physically to heat their
milk to a feverish point, quickly under
mining its quality.
So, in order to preserve milk in hot
weather, aeration, ice and cold water are
mockery unless the cows are kept cool
and free from irritation.
For this reason have no use for even
the most intelligent dogs to assist in
driving cows to and from the pasture.
The presence of such an animal is sure
to excite some nervous, sensitive cow,
and such are usually the best mixers,
and her lacteal yield, if alone affected,
will leaven the product of the whole
herd.
Cows should always be handled and
driven deliberately, and so none but e1-
perienced people who can always con-
troll their temper should be about them.
Get up early enough in the morning so
that you will not have to hurry the cows
in from the pasture, and quit field work
early enough at night for the same rea-
son.
When a farmer ceases to consider
dairying simply as 'doing chores" but
to regard it as one of the most important
interests he has on his place, then, and
then only, is he prepared to make his
cows pay.
Never make dairying subservient to
other work unless you have no need OF
dairy income.-Massachuse Plough
