WHY SELL YOUNG sTocK7
It Should Never BE Done Unless n Man
Is Driven to 1t by Actual
Necessity.

-
Have you considered whether 1t is
to your interest to sell the calves,
colts or pigs at present prices, or to
keep them to get the profit of the
stockman-to utilize the pastures, grain
nelds and odds and ends that would be
lost, and that can be made to enrich
the farm? Would it not be better to
feed that feed to stock, both of which
you have been in the habit of selling
unfed and SO contributing to the other
mans profits, and to the building up
or h fertility of his land, instead of
your own? The calves might sell for
from ten to fifteen dollars at weaving
time. One year later they should
weigh at least $50 pounds. which. at
four cents, is $50. Now, to make this
weight very little grain is required,
just make use of the odd pastures, the
extra grazing of the corn and small
grain fields in the summer and au-
tumn, then the rye and wheat in win
ter and early spring; also the fodder
and straw that was previously wasted.
These little odds and ends, if used.
add to your bank account. Colts,
horse or mule-sell we'll at weaving
time. yet there is better money in
keeping, breaking and making desir-
able work stock. Match them we'll,
take extra pains in breaking, rub them
up until you have a fancy team, then
you can ask and should have a fancy
price. Who knows into what class
colts will develop? Pigs may be cas-

Christian Graces.

Christ never said much in mere
words about the Christian graces. He
lived them, He was them. Yet we do
not merely copy Him. We learn His
art by living with Him, like the old
apprentices with their masters. He
says Follow Me and you will
find rest" Perhaps ii we knew how
much was involved in the simple
learn" of Christ, we would not enter
His school with so irresponsible u
heart. For there is not only much to
learn, but much to unlearn. Many
persons never go to this school at all
until character has almost taken on
its fatal set. But it can be done-and
there IS rest in the school, although
there is also much work.-Henry

CURE FOR BALKINESS.
A Simple Remedy hkeii VIII Start
a Horse Ninety-Nfns Times
Out Of a Hundred,

For the benefit of t1nme who have
been caused a great deal Of anxiety by
a balky horse lost trains as welE as
tempers, and even sometimes ruined
the horse, says a correspondent in the
Horseshoers' Journal, L will give your
readers a remedy which,. no, matter how
bad he is, will start such a horse SO
times out of 100. Of couase lit may fail
n time in a hundred. When a horse
balks, no matter how badly he sulks
or how ugly he is, do not beat him;
don't throw sand in his airs, don't
use a rope On his forelegs aE even burn
straw under him. Quietly go and pat
hinr on the head a moment; take a
hammer or eyen pick up, a. stone in the
street; tell the driver" to- sit still. take
his lines, hood them quietly, while you
lift up eithev front foot; a5ve each nail
a light tap and a good s1mart tap on
the frog; drop the foot quickly. and
then chirp, to him to go. In 80 cases
out of 100 the horse wfiN go right on
about his business, but, the driver must
keep his lines taut and; not pull or jerk
him back. If l have tried this once I
have tried it 500 times, and every time
l have suggested 1t people have laughed
and even get five dollars and bottles
of wine that l could not do it. So far
1 have Vol every bet. This may make
you smile, but a horse has more COM
non sense than most people are will
ing to give him credit for. The secret
of this little trick is simply diversion.
l am a firm believer that with kind
ness and proper treatment a horse can
be driven with a string.
FatteninE Growing Fowls.
1t is often difficult to make growing

or farming for looks For this species OF farm
ing large areas are required in order that
sufficient business organization may be main
tanned and an adequate revenue secured.
While this organized kind of farming is pos
sible for the relatively few, the smaller enter
prises must continue to be the business for the
greater number of countrymen. This less am
bilious farming is capable Of yielding intense
satisfaction 1t will bring good living, and even
a competence. at the same time that ii affords
all the pleasant joys of freedom from the over
strenuous life and of close touch with the real
and sweet things of nature. The recourse to
farming will be In large part a recourse to
nature It will be a satisfaction OF the soul az
well Of the purse.
Everywhere, in city even much as in coun-
try, there is now slowly rising conviction that
in some way the country is to be vitalized and
spirituaIized. This conviction is taking the form
of a distinct sign of the times" 1t is not
necessary that there be any great exodus of
persons from the city to engage in real farming
One farmer can now produce as much as ten
could produce a generation two ago. It Is
probable that only about one-quarter of all the
people are needed on the farm. One-third or
more are now farmers. In New England the
tendency should soon be countryward rather
than cityward. In most parts of the South the
cityward tendency is only beginning. But, what
ever the economic and social tendencies, farming
will continue to afford an attractive business
for the person who likes the out of doors and
first hand contact with living and growing

gagged and produced. As the manufacturing and
transportation industries increase, agricult-
ure may lose something of it's relative suprem-
acy; but this will be only the determining of its
place in our developing civilization. The land
viii still be productive ever; in fact, it
should increase in productivity. Every person
who goes to the city makes one more con-
gunner TO buy what the farmer raises. The
figures Of the twelfth census are very encourag-
ing as to the general condition of most farm en-
terprises. Every advancement Of science and
invention and legitimate organization will be
reflected IN a more resourceful and hopeful ag-
riculture.
The speculative interest is small in farming.
The business is Conservative" The bonanza
farms OF which we have heard so much are
largely OF a speculative and prcmotive type, In
these fortunes have been made, but the
country settles this kind Of farming will sub
side However there is a perfectly genuine
kind Of large area organized farming, which is
Nkely to increase. This kind Of farming calls
for the kind of generalship that is de-
manded in other commercial enterprises. The
development of the extensive fruit growing in
terests OF the South and Of some of the stock
interests of the West are examples in point.
There is opportunity for fine generalshp in the
handling of large areas of the cheap lands of
Pennsylvania, New-York and England
There Is opportunity for good investment in the
land for the lands sake, on large scale. These
opportunities likely to increase rather than
diminish. The difficulty with much of the in
vestment that already has been made is the
tendency to utilize the land in fancy farming

ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
The Prosperity of CaLfornia-Neyo
Oil Pine Line.

San Francisco. July 24-Some idea Of the
great prosperity OF California may be gained
from the reports OF the assessors of various
counties. The counties heard from give an in
crease of $S0O00OO0 in taxable values, and
fourteen counties are still to report which will
bring the total increase up to S1OOO00,OOO. The
ffty-seven savings banks of the State also make
a remarkable showing. Up to the end of the
fiscal year there was a gain of $6.920. 100 in
deposits.
A noteworthy trade event is the shipping his
week of fuel oil from California for use on the
Yukon River steamboats,. The Northern Com
mercal Company has now 23,O 900 barrels OF this
crude oil the way to ST. Michael, and oil
tanks are being built at various points between
St. Michael and Dawson. The introduction Of
this oil will result in heat and power being sup
piled in sections where the timber is already ex-
hausted, and 1t will also greatly reduce the cost
OF operating mines.
Another event that is equally noteworthy Is
the successful pumping of heavy crude oil from
the Kern County fields in the lower San Joaquin
Valley through a pipe line 2S0 miles long to
Point Richmond. on San Francisco Bay The
Standard Oil Company has already expended
about S6.OOO,OO0 on this pipe line and a few
weeks ago 1t thought that more pumping
stations would have to be added. as the heavy oil
could not be made to float more than half way
with the present plant. Now however the en-
gneer's estimates have been shown to be true
and the success of the pipe line is assured The
result will be a great increase in the the refin-
cry force at Point Richmond, which already
