Two Cla..en of Farner..

There are two classes of farmers,
says a recent writer: First, the man
who is bigger every way than his
farm. To such man it doesn't make
much difference how many acres he
has, he runs the farm on close prac-
teal business principles and makes
profit. Second, the man whose
farm is bigger than he is. No matter
how many or how few acres he has
he doesn't run the farm. The farm
runs him. L. p. Snyder gives an ac.
count in the Ohio Farmer of a dairy.
man living near Toledo, who keeps
35 Jersey cows on 100 acres of lan(
and has made them earn the pasl
year $1,000 gross, from which he ha.
Il profit of $4,000. He makes butte,
and sells it in Toledo at 25 cents il
summer and 80 cents in winter. Hi,
cows, counting butter, skim-milk ant
everything, earned him over $12.
apiece. This is an extraordinar,
herd.

DUMPING PLATFORM.

platform (B), six by nine feet, nailed
to a four by six-inch piece turned
at the ends and pivoted at A, in
blocks nailed to the plank (C). A
rope is fastened to each end of the
platform, so that it can be tipped
to either side, as desired. Planks
can be laid across each bent and
sockets fastened to each one, SO that
the dumping platform ard .its.-at-7
tached roller can be easily moved.
In order to be effective the bay must
drop every time near the center of
the platform. On wooden track
this can be effected by boring hole
in the track and putting an iron
pin through it. On an iron track
the same end can be secured by a
clamp screwed on. -

ALFALFA IS VALUABLE.
1t Supplies the Missing Link Between
the SO-CaIled Mixed Farmer
and the Stock Raiser,

The uses and value of alfalfa make
that wonderful clover most desirable
addition to the list of products of any
state. r. a. Haste, writing in the
Northwest Magazine, quotes one au-
thority as saying: alfalfa is the big
thing in Colorado agriculture; it
makes flesh, bone and muscle for the
farmers horses; it makes flesh and
fat for the stockholders; it makes milk
Tor the dairy; it makes nectar for the
honey bee; by rotation of crops it fer
tlllzes the soil and makes the larger
profits in our wheat; it makes money
for the farmer and beauty and wealth
for the state"
AS an example of what alfalfa is do
Ing as pasture in Nebraska. Mr.. Haste
says he found on the Hoffman and Roll
Inns ranch in Antelope county l65
steers and $50 hogs were pastured on
65-acre field from April 25 to Octo-
Der l and were not able 20 keep down
the grass. Another field of four acres
supported II head of COWS during the
season and yielded in addition one
crop of hay.
Prom careful examination of the
reports of experimental stations and
from information gained by converse
tions with alfalfa farmers, l am con-
WINGED that, as pasturage, one acre of
alfalfa hay is worth five acres of other
grasses. In milk producing capacity
one ton of alfalfa hay is worth three
tons of prairie grass. When this esti-
mate is considered In connection with
the fact that alfalfa yields an average
OF four tons year, per acre, the in
f1uence of its cultivation on the beef
and dairy interests can be readily seen
BY increasing the pasturage capacity
of the farm and ranch it enables the
farmer and ranchman to increase his
herd. BY increasing the flow of milk
1T enEarges the monthly revenue from
that herd. BY furnishing an excellent
food for calves it enables the farmer
to increase his heard while receiving
monthly check from the creamery
for his butterfat. Alfalfa makes the
combination of dairying and beef

profitable thing to do. 1t fills the gan

MOVABLE NEST BOXES.
They Are Easily Taken Down for
Cleaning and the Hens Seem
to Like Them.

Various arrangements for nesting
boxes in the henhouse have been
suggested, but the best is, for all gen.
eral purposes, the plain box hung on
two nails SO that it can be taken
down easily. The groceryman's box
pile will furnish an abundance of ma
terial to select from, as the boxes
do not need to be uniform in size
About IL inches square and five
inches deep is what is wanted. Nail
two cleats to the back, allowing them
to project six inches above the box.
Through these bore holes by which
the box is hung on two tenpenny
nails driven in the walls of the build
ing.
The merit of these nests lies in

A GREAT DEPARTMENT.
Grand Achievements. OF the Postal
Service Belittled by DEM
ocratic Malcontents.


The slow, piecemeal manner in
which the little scandals of the postal
service, in Washington and few
other places, the offensive, more OF
less vague accumulation of years, are
dragging into light, is calculated to
spread abroad a very false impress
sion of general corruption, or, at
least, laundering and improper meth
DDS, in the conduct of the vast post
Office department. 1t is sure to OBJ
scure, in many minds. the remarka-
bly, high average of correctness, in
every detail and sense, which has long
distinguished tremendous business
done by the national government,
says the Cleveland Leader.
Even in these days of huge corpora
tions, the post Office department is
one of the biggest organizations of
human industry and enterprise in the
world. 1t has great army of en-
ployes, most of them working in COM
parativc isolation and much trusted,
in the very nature of things. They
cannot be watched constantly or
completely. The patrons of the pos
tai service are the whole American
people. They include millions of
women and children, unslilled in
business, and millions of men de-
pendent upon the honor and eff
cheney of those who serve the gov
eminent for fair and proper atten-
tion to their needs. 1t would be inn
possible to imagine a vast business
demanding more honesty and good
sense from the scores of thousands
of men and women who work under
the postmaster general.
Yet in transactions aggregating
about S15O,Oo0.ooo year, at the pres
ent rate. and in service which calls
for the handling of many millions of
separate parcels, the wrongdoing of
any kind is very rare and the errors
are wonderfully few. Anyone who
compares the work of the post Office
department with that of other i'm
mense business concerns which have
to deal with enormous numbers of
patrons and handle myriads of pack
ages must be impressed with the
splendid showing made by the postal
service of the United States.
That is. one of the proud facts Of
American public life. 1t is credit to
the country and a great object les
son on the possibilities of honesty,
efficiency and fairness in the man
agement of the peoples affairs. In
the vital point of just and equitable
dealing with all classes and condi-
lions, the post Office department has
made a record which must excite the
admiration of every fair-minded
American. 1t is never accused or sus-
pected of handling mail more care
fully or quickly for the rich and
powerful than for the poor and low
ly. 1t does not discriminate on po-
litical or social grounds. Always and
everywhere. the principle of equality
and good work for all is made the
rule of the entire service. That is
very high praise.
The petty misconduct and small
populations, in form or fact, which
are now being exhibited before the
country are the merest specks upon
the wonderfully good record of the
great postal branch of the federal
government. Viewed fairly and
broadly, it is very notable achieve
ment of the American nation, a
source of pride in history and prom

The "solid south" Again.

"A
The democratic newspapers are be-
ginning to figure on the possibilities OF
securing the next president by renew
ing the "old alliance"-that between
the ''solid south and certain northern
states, which, the democrats fondly
hope, will place their electoral votes in
the democratic column. Among these
northern states are New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. But
that is very much like counting chick
ems before they are Matched. In the
first place, the democrats are not sure
of the "solid SOUTH" including in that
term Delaware, Maryland and West
Virginia, for all three have of recent
years been safely republican in ma
tional campaigns. And Kentucky is
getting pretty shaky. In the second
place, processing confidence in ability
to carry New York, New Jersey, Con-
necticut and Indiana for the Democrat
ic presidential candidate is pure
'blnff." Not one of these states has
gone democratic in 4 national cam
paign since 1892. However, this sort
of speculation may amuse the demo-
cratic newspapers, and they are well
come to the enjoyment they can get
from it. The votes next yearw will show
how badly out of their reckoning they
are.-Troy Times.
EPolitical conditions certainly are
peculiar and anything but promising
to the democratic party. Yet this
should furnish no excuse for relaNa-
ton of effort by the republicans,
though there is not likely to be any
special attempt to win the south away
from the democratic party. But judg-
ing from the present drift grea.
