Danes Like the Money.

Copenhagen. Dec -S-The Danish Econ
omist association which has been discuss
ing the growth of emigration to America
has decided by considerable majority
and the benefits to Denmark therefrom
outweigh the drawbacks. The speaker
who brought up the subject, contended
that some action was necessary to pre-
vent the country from being denuded Of
its best workers. but the majority SUI
ported the view that the Danes were to
be congratulated on the fact that the
doors of such a progressive and prosper
Gus country as the United States were
open to them and that Denmark had
much benefited by the considerable sums
of money which yearly were sent back
by her former subjects.

Ashburnham, Ont, April 10, 1881

you what wonderful effect Chamber
lains Cough Remedy has produced. The
day before Easter I was so distressed
with a cold and cough that l did not
think to be able to take any duties the
next day, as my voice was almost choked
by the cough. The same day received
an order from you for a bottle of your
cough Remedy. at once procured a sam
pie bottle and took about three doses Of
the medicine. To my great relief the
cough and cold had completely disappear
ed and I was able to preach three times
on Easter day. 1 know that this rapid

solicitation, being thankful to have found
such a Godsend remedy. Respectfully

relief for me. Calling at the home of
a friend, noticed a bottle of Lydia

and decided to give it a trial to see if
it would help me. It took patience
and perseverance, for was in bad con-

PROFIT IN MULE
Mules More Profitable For the = -
erage Farmer Than Horses.

HEuIes More Profitable For the = "a
erage Farmer Than Horses.
To begin with, mules can be raised
cheaper than almost any other farm
stock. Especially is this true when
compared to horses. They can be Civ
en- light work when two years old, and
If properly handled will often at this
age do as much work as foursyear-
old horse colt. OF course, under no
, circumstances should the work be
heavy, for the growth Of the animal
will be checked. If used for driving,
for pulling a light cultivator, for haul
ing moderate loads, the animal Is bet
ter off than if allowed to remain idle.
With this kind of training they will
go into market much earlier than
horses and consequently the investor
gets quicker return on his money.
The mule stands heat much better
than the horse. In the north this is
not so important as in the south, but
during harvesting time the man who
has two or three good teams of mules
Is far ahead of his neighbor who has
none. They can stand more abuse and
greater hardships than horses, but re-
spond to kind treatment by being very
gentle and teachable. They are less
liable to diseases and are not SO apt
to become blemished as colts. If lor
Of them. are in pasture during the sea
son, fewer of them will show blemisb
than the same number of colts kept
under like treatment. Another impor
'tGnt item is the fact that mules in,
stinctively avoid rough and dangerous
places. They are much more careful to
secure a good footing when on rough
road or crossing dilapidated bridge.
For all kinds of teamwork they are
especially steady and always ready. In
planting corn or opening furrow
through a field it is very much easier
to drive straight with a good mule team
than with horses. In blowing corn
they use much more judgment in keep
ing off the hills Their hoofs are usu-
ally very tough, and it is seldom nee
essary to have mule team shod on
the ordinary farm unless it is to be
used great deal during winter wealth
er, when roads are frozen or icy. Keep
the hoofs carefully trained, and if the
animal has never been shod there is
seldom a call for shoes.
Mules can be placed OH the market at
any time after weaving. In mule rails
ing regions they are considered salable
property after ten months old. By pas
turing and feeding until they are two
and one-half and three years old they
are ready for market. They eat small
amount of feed, and, while they of
course prefer good hay and grain, they
will eat almost any kind of rough feed.
In this way it is possible to raise them
cheaper than horses.-American Agri-
culturist.

rick legs, or three pieces of heavy ci"
mension stuff may be used if more
convenient. Bowel off the tops of two
of the poles on one side and fiatten the
top of the third. Bore hole through
the tops of all three poles. Set the
poles up tripod fashion and fasten at
the top by bolt. The poles should
not be bolted too tight, but just so as to
allow the foot of the middle pole to be
moved in OF out from the ground cen
ter. Connect the other two poles by a
couple of iron rods or wooden cross
pieces. The rods may be fitted in holes
in the legs or the crosspieces attached
with bolts, but in either case they
should be adjustable or be attached not
permanently, but to ADMIT of being
moved to adjust the pitch Of the legs.
The two legs thus braced rest against
stakes driven in the ground, and the
third leg brought toward them at the
foot raises the top Of the derrick. The
force that the derrick will exert on a
lifting rope or chain attached to its
apex is increased as the movable leg is
brought nearer perpendicular. The IL
lustration shows how a rope. sspreader
and singletree may be used with a
horse for operating the derrick. When
the derrick is not in use, the rods or
crosspieces may be removed, the top
bolt loosened and the legs swung to-
gether, making it easy to load on a
wagon for transportation somewhere
else or to be stored out of the way.

A Good Game to stick To.


An exchange reports Mr. j. q. Wing
of Ohio as of the opinion that fat NUT
tons will be in demand for export
9sSheep. and lamb feeding is a good
game to stick to, provided the feeder
raises his own feed. We raise lots of
alfalfa and feed it in conjunction with
ear corn. Never shell the corn. AT
least, that is our experience, and it has
been profitable one. The thin lambs
are the ones to buy. The feeder gets
the growth with them and will make
money by not finishing them too much.
Send them to market on the light side,
if anything, is my policy. When buy
ing feeding lambs, be sure to pick those
with open, loose fieeces. They do better

The Dairy Calf.

In connection WITH the feeding. of
COWS it would be wei to remember
that mueh can be done toward produc-
ing a good COW by feeding her properly
when a; calf. :. Calves which are, being
raised for cows should be well fed, but
in such away as to keep them growing
without getting fat Many a good COW
has been spoiled by developing the.
beef tendencies when young. The
principal point is to feed a highly
heterogeneous ration and not overfeed.
Sometimes calves on pastures viii get
very fat in appearance, but experience
has shown that pasture fat in a calf
or heifer will work off and not injure
them permanently like the fat made
by overfeeding in the stable with
grain, particularly corn.

FOUND AT LASTg
The Poison In Sorghum-An Entirely
New Opinion.


New Opinion.
DR.. Avery, chemist of the Nebraska
station, has been investigating the sor-
ghum poisoning of cattle. AS stated in
Farm and Ranch, DIR. Avery has ana
lyzed every part of the sorghum plant
and found prussic acid in leaves and
stalks in dangerous quantities at GER
tain stages of growth and in harmless
ly minute quantities at other stages.
Sorghum of normal growth, of four
feet and over, contains very little and
sometimes none of the poison, but the
stunted growth contains it often in ia
tai amounts The findings Of Professor
Avery indicate that the common opin-
ion that it is second growth sorghum
that kills is well founded, as those cat
tie eat that, which not only has an alb
normally high per cent of the poison,
but the very parts Of the plant where
all the poison is stored, the leaves and
stems, the stems having the greater
proportion In matUfed sorghum most
of the stem is rejected, and the amount
of poison in the parts eaten is not SUI
1c1ent TO 90, any narm. IioIeeSoi
Avery adds:
eff the writer may venture from the
safe ground of experiment into the
uncertain field of speculation, he would
suggest that the presence of nitrates in
the soil may facilitate the formation OF
prussic acid in the plants. 1t is well
known that in semiarid sections much
of the nitrogen in the soil lis in the
form of nitrates while in well watered
sections the greater part of the nitro
gen is combined with humus. May not,
this fact explain why sorghum, stunted
by an occasional dry season, is seldom
fatal, to stock in the east and that
many of the most severe outbreaks oc-
cur where Irrigation is practiced!

When the carriages reached I'll o
mountain road they turned south and
went along the giant hills as far as
the orchards of the Millers. The drive
through these splendid orchards was
one long to be remembered. The trees
were in full bloom. presenting a va
ried and shifting scene of beauty that
delighted the eve, while the air was
heavy with the fragrance from the
rich blossoms. The hum of the bees
as they ravished the sweet buds OF
their hidden treasures. the clear voices
of the shv songsters, with a note of
alarm in their tiny throats as they
gazed askance at the intruders i'll their
retired domain. the hundred voices OF
unwonted sight. and the animated
conversation and hearty laughter all
combined to make the trip most
charming one.
The party reached the great orchards
Of the Millers about O'Clock. After
walk through the parts Immediately

and had lunch. Their appetites were
sharpened by the l0-mile drive, and
the lunch was hearty one. The ar

for brief examination of tho orchards
of s. Fl. McKown, between Gerards-
town and Inwood. At the latter point
the party took the Winchester pike and
headed toward Martinsburg, a distance
of eight miles. They reached this
