A Neglected Implement.

IKE harrow is an implement that is
toe much neglected by farmers. For
preparing the soil surface for piant-
ing they are absolutely necessary and
their economy is manifested in the
large number of acres that can be
gone over in dag with one of them.
Land can not be properly prepared
for seeding without harrow. Har-
rows are also useful for cultivating.
They are made especially for this
purpose and for working broadcast,
and for following rows. The weeders,
nov so popular, are but notifications
of the harrow. There is no implement
used on a farm which has SO wide a
range of adaptability as the harrow
in its many forms.-Farm and Ranch.

Guineas On the Farm.

One of the most useful fowls on the
farm is the guinea. 1t is true that
one does not realize as many dollars
and cents in cash from the guinea,
but in usefulness he saves many more
than from any other fowl, or even any
animal, on the farm. Guineas can not
be raised, however, unless the farm
is large and they are allowed to run
and forage; in fact they are of very
little use except on large farm.
They prefer to seek their own food in
the fields as long as they can get it,
ara if they get hungry they will then
come home to feed They eat a great
many worms and keep away bugs and
BEETLES to great extent. They also
partly keep down noxious weeds and
plants. They are the best watchers,
as human beings, dogs, foxes, or
hawks attract their attention and
they will set up loud, shrill cry to
warn their comrades. All the hens of
flock may lay in one nest, and as
they hide their nests this is an ad-
vantage for sometimes dozens of eggs
are found at once. Their eggs sell for
less than other eggs, but as they are
procured practically for nothing, the
poultry man and farmer should not
complain. When removing the eggs
do not touch them with the hands, as
that will cause the hens to seek an
other place. A stick should be used,
as they have a very keen sense of
odor, A farm of 50 to 100 acres should
have about twenty guineas, which will
be found very useful, and will cost
their owner but a trifle. They can not
be confined, howeVer and if they are
not reared on a farm they will be a
dead loss.-Otsego Farmer.

DIFFERENCE OF A COMMA.
When the Sentence Was written the
Inspector Concluded That Some
thing Was Wrong.

Recently a school inspector arrived at q
small town in Germany and requested the
mayor to accompany him on a tour of in
spection round the schools, relates London
Spare Moments.
The mayor, as he put on his hat, NUT
tered to himself:
81 should like to know why that ass has
some so soon again" remark which the
inspector overheard, but affected to ig-
more.
Arrived at the first school, he began to
examine the pupils in punctuation, but
was told by the mayor:
1--WE don't trouble about commas and
such like"
The inspector merely told one of the
boys to write on the blackboard:
''The mayor of Ritzelbuttel says the in
spector is an ass"
Now" he added, put comma after
'Ritzelbuttel and another after inspect
or"
The boy did So
The mayor is believed to have changed
his opinion as to the value of commas.

WHY so SLOW TO LEARN -?
Numerous Factors in Farm Economy
Which, if Observed, Would Tend
to Greater Profit.

AS we go here and there over the
country and see the condition of the
farms we are constantly impressed
with the fact that our southern farm
ers are slow to learn. They have been
taught by observation and experience
and instruction many things of i'm
portance. But they do not seem to
have learned them.
Therapeutics are much the same
as they were a generation ago. A
thousand experiments have proved
the value of deep soil, but the average
farmer is still blowing shallow.
1t took fifteen years to teach them
the value of cottonseed and it is quite
as difficult to teach them the value of
their corn-stalks. They continue to
throw away valuable crop after it
has been made.
The same is true in regard to beef
cattle. 1t is a well-established truth
that the common scrub cattle of the
country will not make first-class
beevs. A Shorthorn or Here
ford can be raised for about the same
cost as. a scrub. and be worth more
than twice as much, often three
times as much But we see the coun-
try filled with scrubs.
They seem to have learned that the
razor-back hog is no good, but why
do they not learn the same fact about
the scrub or native cows?
Their experience has shown them
that cotton is the most expensive and
least profitable crop that they grow.
but still they persist in planting and
growing so much cotton that the
price is kept too low for profit.
They have been taught that it is
not good business to rush their cot
ton on the market every fall faster
than the demands of trade will call
for it. But here they go, from the
field to the gin, from the gin to the
warehouse and sell regardless of the
market demands.
They see the value, yea, the neces-
sity of organization in every voca-
ton of life, yet they refuse to come
together and help each other, and,
by so doing, help themselves.
they see the folly and ruin wrought
every year by the credit and mort
gage system, still they go on buying
on time things that they could easily
raise on their farms. They mortgage
what they have and what they expect
to have for things that they could
pay for. So we might go on and
lengthen this list. Why, we ask, are
the farmers Ct the south so slow to
Iearn? Southern Cultivator.

Cnre of Young PIGS.

Pigs, after weaving, should be fed
for growth of frame and development
of bone and muscle, and they should
have plenty of exercise to help in the
development and enable them to eat
and digest a large amount of food.
This means good health and rapid
growth. An alfalfa pasture affords
ideal conditions for growth and
health. When this can not be had al
NEST any grass or growing grains
(for winter) will prove to be next
best. All hog raisers should be judi
cious farmers and iudicious
farmers in Texas will have
plenty of green pasturage at all times
and plenty of pigs to consume it. 1t
is well enough to feed pigs also a
small ration of corn, or other grain,
while on pasture, but not enough to
cause them to put on too much fat.
When they have good growth, then
corn them until ready for the packer.

his crops will not grow, his stock

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS IN
THREE STATES.

The conventions of the democratic
and pOpulist parties OF Nebraska, al
ter most arduous labors have settled
upon a state fusion ticket. Five places
on the ticket are allotted to democrats
and three to populists. A democrat
heads the ticket as candidate for gov
ernor. The populists started out with
rendering Bryan the unanimous noml-
nation. Five different men received
the unanimous nomination for governor
from one or the other of the onVen
tions, which were in session at the same
time in the same town, before a candI-
date was finally settled upon. This was
w. II. Thompson, of Hall county.
Mr.. Bryan has expressed himself
pleased with the success of the fusion
movement and has pledged the ticket
his support.
Mr.. Bryan seems to have been deter
mined that the ominatio for governor
should not fall to him. There seems to
be no doubt that a word from him
would have secured the endorsement by
the democratic convention of his nomi-
nation by the populists; but it seems
that Mr.. Bryan has something else in
view and does not wish to be hampered
with a gubernatoria1 nomination. His
political aspirations probably will soar
higher than the effice of chief magis-
trate of his state. However that may
be he would not let the two conventions
settle on him as the standard bearer or
the fused populists and democrats.
While the populists and democrats of
Nebraska were settling on their joint
state ticket the democrats of Pennsyl-
vania were also holding their state con-
vention. They put forward j straight
out democratic ticket with Ex-Governor
Robert E. Pattison at it's head, the only
man who has been able to lead the par
ty to victory in that hotbed of republic
canism in years.
The Minnesota democratic convention
O the same day nominated L. A. Ros-
ing for governor and reaffirmed faith
in the Kansas City convention platform
on which w. j. Bryan &c: the second
time met defeat in the presidential cleo
ton of 1900.
