President MCKinley's Simpiicity.

Like many great men, President Nc
Kinley had on accession a certain boy
ishness of manner. Miss Clara Morris
relates in the Era an instance of Mr..
McKinley's simplicity.
When he was moved to laughter, she
says, he would strike his right foot
sharply upon the ground, and whirl
lightly about on it. This movement
was ineXpressibly youthful.
Once asked, Major Mckinley, has
any one ever mentioned your resem-
blance to Daniel Webster?"
Soldier, statesman, orator as he was,
he found no better answer than an
averted head, little push on the hand,
and petulant, "Oh, go 'longv'
Everybody in the room laughed, SO
unexpected was that rustic, almost
bashful expression.
Mr.. Hanna, glancing at his watch, in
terrupted with:
''I'rains, Major, trains"
He did not hear the warning, but a
strong arm was flung about his Shout
der, and big voice cried: "Boy, that
Columbus train won't wait you know
Instantly responding to the affection
ate reminder, Mr.. Mckinley was but
toning his overcoat and diving into his
gloves. He dropped his chatting. and
returned in an instant to the business
that demanded his attention. A small
thing, If you like, but characteristic.

Green Food for Swine.

Those who have had experience in
feeding swine during the early days of
spring before there is any pasture fiji to
eat realize that the expense for grain
is very heavy without any correspond
ing increase in the weight of the ami
mails. Such. results are discOuraging.
but the remedies are to provide such
crops rs clover. alfalfa and an abund.
ance of root crops to feed ut intervals
during the winter. but mainly at this
time. between seasons.
Then if it Is still possible to get in
an early pasture composed of wheat or
rye sOwn early, following this with
rape ut the proper season. and as the
ground becomes warm using sweet
corn or sorghum sown so as to cut
when needed. the want will be sup
piled.
There is some objection to feeding
heavily of grain food early in the
spring, but this comes mainly because
Il supply of salt and ashes is not sup
piled as an aid to digestion and to off
set any tendency to dysentery. This
question is worth looking into by those
who raise swine in large numbers.

Grinding Food for Stock.

While there are differences of opin-
ion as to whether or not food for stock
ought to be ground. there is no doubt
but what young stock of all kinds
thrive best on the ground food. This is
but natural, for the immature stomach
is much better able to digest the ground
food than the whole grain. That ground
food is also beneficial for mature stock
no one will deny, and yet how beneti-
cial depends both on the food used and
upon the animal.
Wheat fed to hogs must of course be
ground or the hard portions will pass
through the animal undigested; so with
other foods fed to different animals
and the feeder should use common
sense in determining whether it will
or will not pay to grind the food he has
to give. Many cows of considerable
age would still be profitable If more
care was taken in the preparation of
the food given them. While the sub
ject is one that must be largely worked
out by the feeder. it will pay every time
to follow the suggestion that food for
young stock be ground.

HOLSTEIN.
Lime in Insecticides.

While lime is generally used in the
of bordeaux mixture. in the
best known and most reliable of the
insecticides or remedies for fungus
diseases, other neutraliZers may be
used with the copper sulphate. such as
concentrated Ives. For the beginner
in the use of the spraying tools the lime
is. however, the best to use, although
there is much complaint regarding it
because of the injury to sprayers. This
is due without doubht, to the fact that
poor lime is used; that it is used too soon
after shaking, and that it is not prop
erly strained. The lime should be of
the first quality, such as is used by
builders. and it should be slaked for
two or three weeks before being used.
so that all possible of the gritty ma
terial that is apt to clog or injure the
nozzle of the sprayer may be dissolved,
Then the lime should be strained
through cheesecloth, to keep out the
grit that was not dissolved.

Boys on the Farm.

The boy who Is in love with machin-
up that love to remain on the farm.
So, too, there may be the boy whose
whole soul Is full of music and who
ought to think of no other profession.
or the one to whom questions of law
appeal with supreme force. or the one
to whom the practice Of medicine seems
especially enticing. So, too, there mag
be the man especially adapted for sue
cess in business. The boy who lacks
energy, who is willing to be led. who
finds 1t too hard work TO think, who Is
willing to be directed may pass a life
of more compOsure working under the
direction of another in some city call
ing.
The young men who ought to conSid-
er whether they may not better remain
on the farm also fall into two classes.
In the first class comes the boy who
loves the farm. There are such boys;
there would bo far more but for the
parents. 1t is surprising how many
young men the teacher meets whose
parents urge. If not insist, that they
shall follow some other calling than
farming.
The second type of young men who
may well consider farm opportunities
is the bright, all round boy who may
easily become interested in anything.
This embraces the largest class of all.
| wish | might impress upon the
young men belonging to these two
classes the fact that the farm offers
opportunities second to those extended
by no other calling. The chances for
the majority are better in agriculture
than in other lines. These chances do
not include the opportunity to amass
fortune, but one need only consider
the large percentage of business fail
ures to realize that the chances in such
lines are not so great as they seem.

of success, though this is hard lesson

Plant Potatoes Early and Spray.

Many farmers plant potatoes late in
the season in order to avoid in part the
ravages of the potato bug. and there is
no question about there being some
advantages in this respect. But if con.
tinued experiments demonstrate that
early planting and thorough spraying
will increase the crop from fifty to a
hundred bushels per acre over late
planting and little or no spraying it
would seem wise policy to plant
early and protect the plants by spray
