Handed Over the Office.

Not many people stop to think that
one in every 100 American voters is a
fourth class postmaster. Yet such is
the case, and, as was suggested by an
official of the postoffice the other day.
there are some odd specimens Of hu-
manity among the lot. up in Ver-
mont, said he, 81 knew Of an old fellow
who kept a store across the road from
the postoffice. There were two rival
stores at the cross roads and they
fought each other pretty hard. The
postofice was changed when Mr.. Cleve
land was elected and went from its old
Republican stopping place to the estab
lishment across the way. One morning
early in November the news came over
the mountains that Mr.. Harrison had
been elected. Without moments
waiting the Republican storekeeper ran
across the road and burst into the store
kept by the Democrat. 4 get the post
office backv he exclaimed. "Harrison's
been elected! Harrison's been electedv
And the Democrat handed over the
marking stamps and other supplies
without a word. The new postmaster
was appointed officially some months
later, but the actual transfer occurred
the day after the election and l dont
believe any one ever noticed it,"

Spraying half done is labor lost. The
other half means possibly little more

So, without the truck. For large or
chards wagon sprayers are made,
where the wheels pump air to force the
stream. Also steam outfits that elm
mate the manual labor of pumping.
These cost from $25 upward If you

For few bushes there is nothing bet
ter than the small hand sprayer or
atomizers, costing so cents to 81, or on
larger scale the compressed air hand
sprayers costing from $4.25 to $6.25
each. These sprayers can usually be
obtained from dealers in hardware,

Alfalfa in Favor.

Montana has the alfalfa fever. The
Northwest Live Stock and Wool Grow.
ers' Journal says: "The large number
of prizes carried home from the inter-
national live stock show at Chicago
by Minnesota is proof that stock can be
grown and fatted at profit outside
the corn belt. 1t has been contended for
years that this was impracticable, and
that the corn belt had a monopoly on
the feeding business. However, States
outside the corn belt have found other
feeds that are quite as cheaply grown
and are quite as efficient in beef max
ing as corn. We are doing well here
with alfalfa, and ought to do much bet
ter. Utah is making rapid progress
with lucern, and Minnesota of late
years, after being told by the railroads
what to do, is now carrying the war
right into the cornfeld and wins hon.

Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming,

Lightning and Feathers.

There Is a woman in the AdirOndacks

Mr.. C. sleepily asked:

Dairy Notes.


Cheap salt In butter is an expensive
economy.
A loss of appetite and a drooping
head are among the first symptoms of
COW sickness.
With the dairy cow there should al.
ways be a due proportion of concen.
trated and bulky food.
If you have COW that keeps fat
and sleek on little feed, keep her heifer
calf.
Butter is bitter because of impure
foods or from holding the cream too
long.
Cows will give more milk and Of
better quality if fed and MIXED regu-
larly.
One important item in building up a

Do not put the calves on skim milk
too soon Give them the rick milk
for ten days or two weeks.
The heifer calf does not need fatten.
ing food, but plenty of bone and mus.
cle-forming food should be supplied. -
A cow Is machine for reducing
feed to milk. She consumes the raw
material. eliminates the waste matter
and furnishes finished pl oduct. Cows
differ in their capacity to consume fooi
and in their power to produce miisJ
both as regards quality and quantity:
To be profitable dairy COW she must
convert her surplus food into rich milk
rather than fat or flesh A good dairy
COW rarely gets fat while producing
milk, no matter how well fed.

mind Freeman of his promise to make
inquiries in London concerning Mr.. La

tain places for inquiry. The reader
will understand why I advised Mr..
Freeman to institute careful inquiry at
the stations of the great railway lines

Raise More-Buy Less.

In the older days of farming such a
thing as farmer patronizing a butch
er was unheard of. The butcher was
the buyer and not the seller, and. sim.
liar relations existed, to a less extent,
between the farmer and the dealer in
stock foods. There is no good excnse
for farmers placing themselves in a po-
sition where they must buy all or most
of their meat. If the average farm Is
rightly handled it should supply its
owner with most or all Of the meat for
the family, all of the fruit and vegeta-
bles, eggs, poultry and butter. 1t should
also supply most Of the food needed for
the stock. Farming in this way. with
certain crops which one knows best
how to grow in order to obtain the cash
necessary for Incidental expenses, car
ries on the work in a way that is prof

Immense Output of Petroleum.

If all the petroleum produced last
year in the United States was put in
standard barrels, and the barrels placed

Enough coal was produced to give three

States, and enough gold to give every

Profits in Strawberry Growing.

Quite in line with the more approved
methods of culture is the idea that to
get the best results from the straw
berry plantation some care must be
given to the preparation Of the ground
long before the plants are to be set. The
old plan is to set the plants on any
land they happen to have no immediate
use for, and pick the fruit the first
season. The best land for strawberries
is that which has been in sod, and to
prepare such land it should be planted
to some hoed crop like corn for two
years before strawberry plants are set.
This is necessary in order to rid the soil
Of the white grub, the greatest enemy
Of the stra awberry plant.

A Feeders Practical Way.

In general. early feeding is the most
profitable. The quicker you can mature
an animal the more money it will
make. 1t is not profitable to feed after
cattle are ripe and ready for market. [

pounds per day for sixty days. but af-
ter that not nearly that average. I
have had much more success in feed
ing ground feed than ever had in any
other way, and have tried almost ev-
cry way and have come to the conclu-
sion that to grind corn and cob to-
gether, rather fine, is much better than
to feed clear meal
have never had so good results as
when l have fed five times a day, but
never feed so the cattle leave the
least bit in their boxes. Cattle will not
eat any more when fed five times a
day than when fed all they will eat
three times, but the advantage is that
you do not overload their stomachs,
and therefore the food is more easily
digested and they fatten faster on the
same food. l have had better success
in feeding cattle kept in their stalls
than in any other way of keeping them.
