THE rARM OR 5000 \ YEAR.

A man on a good quarter section of
land was complaining because he had
not made anything the past year and
expressed regret that his brother, who
was clerk in a town bank at salary of
5000 year. was so much better off
than he was. A friend did a little fig
uring for him and easily proved that
he was all wrong in his conclusions. 1t
figured out something like this: The
bank clerk got $780, out of which he
had to pay $50 for rent of house. leav-
ing $500 with which to meet all the
other many expenses of living for him
self, wife and three children. He really
had hard work to make both ends meet.
The brother on the farm had had his
house rent, the best board for him
self. wife and three children and wife's
mother, their clothing and all house
hold comforts. There was a new $400
barn which had been built; there were
ten head more cattle. thirty more hogs
and three more colts than a year pre-
vious new surrey in the barn and
$3.50 worth of new machinery. all either
produced on the farm or paid for from
the products raised on the farm during
the year Hold on" said the farmer.

THE MODERN ROBIN HOOD.

We have recently had a chance to
note the library buildings which in
half a dozen towns visited and which
may be found all over the country are
now in course of erection. the gifts of
multimillionare so called philanthro-
pists. While not questioning the good
which may result from these gifts we
have never yet looked at one with a
feeling of unalloyed appreciation of the
philanthropy evidenced in the gift We
cannot get rid of the feeling that some
thing is radically wrong where it is
even possible for one man to be so gen
erous in his benevolences. The ques-
ton is being asked by the farmers of
America and will have to be answered,
Why, If the accumulation of such
wealth as lies back of these libraries
ard colleges is an impossibility for ag
riculture, the base and foundation of
our national prosperity, should men in
other lines of business be granted the
privilege? Robin Hood held up the aris-
tocrat and the wealthy and gave his
pilfering TO the poor, and so Robin be-
came benevolent outlaw Our twen-
tieth century Robin Hood should be
elected to congress.

There must be a reason why eggs
hatch better when shipped by some
fanciers than others, says Bette Clio
yer Mackey. In the first place a fan
cier should never ship an old egg.
Send out eggs as promptly as possible
after order is received, always writing
to the purchaser they have been ship
ped. There is seldom any trouble about
turkey eggs not being fertile, but be-
lieve the great secret of success in
shipping eggs so they will hatch well
is in the packing. They must be pack
ed in manner not to be shaken up OF
the yolk of the egg will be broken, and
as surely as this is done the hatch is
spoiled. They must be packed with
soft material, but at the same time
firmly placed so that the jolting of the
cars or wagons will not break them.
believe it takes practice to make
good egg packer. | think, too, that one
person can pack well in one way while
another will fail by that same method.

PREPARING BIRDS FOR SHOW
They Must BE Thoroughly Tanned
and Kept as Clean as Possible.

and Kept as Clean as Possible.
Before making an exhibit at any fair
or show the main point to consider is
the proper conditioning and prepare
ton of the stock. Every one knows
that fowls as usually found on the
range are far from being in presenta-
Bile shape for appearance in the show
arena. Consequently they must be
placed in suitable coops and runs for
conditioning. This means that they
must be carefully handled, cleaned and
put in proper weight. If bird is wild,
1t must be tanned and made to pose
and handle well in the hands of stran-
gers, as the judge must handle them,
and judge has no patience with a
wild or frightened bird. A good bird
untamed and out Of condition is often
left out of consideration by the judge
when otherwise it might have won an
honorable place. On the other hand.
an inferior specimen well shown is of.

condition and proper prepare ton for
the judges inspection.
Another matter Of great Importance
is cleanliness. A bird to show to good
advantage must be clean. No matter
how good specimen may be, if shown
with soiled and broken plumage it can
never be depended upon to command
the admiration of the judge.
Most fowls will clean and condition
themselves if placed in clean and suit

that it is one of the oldest known for

sessing the power of nitrifying and en-
riching the soil upon which it grows,
but unlike clover, which is biennial, it
lives for many years; its roots reach
far and deep for permanent moisture,
and this fact renders it largely indiffer-
ent to drought. 1t is richer in protein
or heterogeneous properties than any 9TH

herein lies it's great value. 1t is very
productive, from two to five crops a
year being harvested. Stock of all kinds
is extremely fond Of it, either green or
cured as hay, and it is so nutritious
that it largely takes the place of grain.
1t will not grow on ali soils, and, while
it seems to thrive anywhere when the
soil is under a system of irrigation,
where this is wanting the conditions
