The Neighbor's Hens.

We are asked what is best to do
where, after having given due notice
in neighborly way the hens belong
ing to the man on the next lot are still
allowed to have the run of ones place
and tear the garden to pieces. This is
a difficult problem, and many people
have to face it. AS a last resort we
would suggest that in a very quiet way
it be seen that one less hen goes home
every night. Most folks count their
chickens, and when the trespasser
counts his he will keep them at home.
We know that this plan will work.

The old fashioned Texas steer, long
horned, lean and gaunt, has disappear
ed almost as completely as the buffalo,
and in it's place the state is now send
ing to market cattle of the Angus,
Hereford and Shorthorn type, which
puts to shame the stock produced in
portions of the north, the reason being
that a Texan rancher does not hesitate
to pay 81 600 for bull, while too many
northern farmers think they are throw

A Novel HoIdup.

A firm in the West which had been
heavily engaged in the breeding of
Shorthorn cattle became involved re-
Gently and made an assignment. Among
the assets were goo pedigreed animals.
When the receiver took charge of this
property, he was compelled to pay the
assignors the sum of $4,000 in cash in
order to obtain the pedigrees and a

knowledge possessed alone by the as
signors and without which it would
have been impossible to sell the stock

The Tricky Hen.

Listen to tale of woe. The big
meat packing houses set out to corner
the egg market and loaded up with
eggs last spring at about an average
cost to them of IA cents. Interest and
storage charges ran the price up to
about IL cents, and they are now un-
loading at 10 cents. The old hen is a
hard proposition to corner. Everybody
keeps her. The cold storage egg be-
longs in the same class with renovated
butter. Old eggs are harder to pass off
as fresh ones than old maids as young
girls.

In fixing a home place, setting out
trees, ETC., it is well to follow natures
way. Nature diversifies, never plants
trees in rows and always has an eye
for the shrubs and little things as we'll
as the trees. In the laying out of the
grounds a natural irregularity and di-
versity should be followed in order to
secure the most pleasing effects. Of
course fruit trees and street trees
should be planted in rows, but no 9TH

We are asked how it is that men can
keep sheep proftably in England on
land which is worth $500 or $500 per
acre. Three things explain it-climate,
which makes an English pasture green
and productive nearly the whole year;
turnips, which make the best favored
mutton in the world, and price, which
makes fat wether sell for $40. Eng
land could better afford to get along
without her aristocracy than without
her hocks of sheep.

Many Of the wealthy men of eastern
cities who have made their money in
trade and commerce are buying up the
run down and abandoned farms of that
section and conducting them along sci

grades and are not only making their
investments profitable, but are afford
ing most valuable object lesson to
the native farmers who. are still only
too willing to follow in the footsteps of
their grandfathers.

We have several inquiries as to when
and how to sow alfalfa for Iowa and
Missouri. Select good land, we'll drain
ed, and sow without nurse crop the fore
part OF May, 20 pounds of seed to the
acre. Run mower over the field when
first blossoms appear; NOW again about
five weeks later. and let the third crop
remain on the land for the winter as
cover crop. What will come of it the
next year will depend on whether the
soil conditions are favorable to its
growth.

The finest forests to be found any
where in the whole world clothe the
mountains of the north Pacific coast.
Having wiped out the forests of New
England, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, the umbermen are now at

Oregon to repeat, we suppose, the old
story of wreck, ruin and devastation.
They destroy in day trees which took
thousand years to produce.

A merchant advertised for a clerk
and got replies from four states inside
of ten days from young men willing to
work for $40 a week and board them
selves. In the same town husky young
fellow willing to work by the month
on the farm had six farmers after him
in one day and willing to pay him the
same wages the merchant paid the
clerk. The average young man of to-
day will dodge hard work if he can.

We have never known a case where
a farmer went into the cross breeding
business that he made a success of it.
BY this we mean the mixing of estab-
lished and standard breeds of domestic
animals. The first cross sometimes
proves all right for the purposes of
meat and milk, but never beyond that
Breeding from these crosses soon fills
a mans barnyard full of scrubs of the

A Vermont farm which sold for Sc 900

the prices asked for them.
