Increase the Value of Crops.

Farmers should grow crops not only
for sale, but also for manufacture.
No people have succeeded who relied
mainly Upon the sale of straw pro-
ducts alone. A farm is a factory, and
the agents are the cow, the sow the
eve and the fowl. These living as
sistants, if they may be termed such,
lot only increase and repair them
selves, but are capable of converting
the products of the farm into valu-
salable products. The COW pro.
duces the steer as an assistant in the
manufacture of beef, and changes the
stalks, straw, hay, grain and vege-
tables, which bring but a small sum,
Into high-priced butter and cheese.
She is always ready for work, and is
never idle, not even on Sundays. The
eve produces lambs, and with the
wethers can make mutton of the scrub
bage of the waste places in addition
to that which may be allowed her
In the shape of better provender. The
SOW. with her produce, fills the pork
barrel and affords a supply of meat
at a season of the year when it gives
the best returns. And even the hen,
small as she may appear, not only
adds her carcass, but daily deposits
her egg during nearly all seasons,
thus contributing a daily supply Of
cash that may be required for imme-
date necessities.

H WISE cNoMe.

Within a deep and darksome wood there
lived a learned gnome,
And in an ancient saucepan he made his
cozy home.
His name was so impressive, it filed every
one with awe
IT was Diomed Diogenes Demosthenes de
Graw.
His fame for wisdom was so great that
even passing birds
Would stop and listen eagerly to Diomed's
wise words.
One day two little jub-jub birds were
walking by that way.
They paused and said: ''Oh, Doomed, do
teach us something, pray"
"Ay, ay," the ancient gnome replied;
now listen well, you two;
A bit of information | will gladly give TO
you.

Extinct Animals.

No extinct land animal of for.
mer ages has a bigger body than has
the biggest African elephant of to-day.
and not one, so far as is known, eX.
ceeded or even equaled in bulk the
existing great whales, which some
times are all of 100 feet long. AS ele.
plants, horses and similar animals are
traced backward through the various
strata they are found to get smaller
and smaller. Some extinct elephants
were no bigger than Shetland ponies,
while the horses of prehistoric times
were about the size of large dogs. In
almost every group of hairy, warm.
blooded animals existing specimens are
bigger than those of bygone times, and
the notion that there is any tendency
in animal life to dwindle in size is
entirely without foundation. There
are, of course, exceptions, for the ex-
tinct sloths, kangaroos, lizards and
some others exceeded in bulk existing
creatures of the same order.

When We Return to God.

You have seen the heavens gray with
dull and le6den colored clouds, you have
seen the earth chilly and comfortiess un.
der its drifts of unmelting snow; but let
the sun shine, and then how rapidly does
the sky resume its radiant blue, and the
fields laugh with green grass and vernal
flower.
So will it be even with a withered and
a wasted life when we return to God and
suffer Him to send His bright beams of
light upon our heart. l do not mean that
the pain or misery under which we are
suffering will necessarily be removed
even for Christ it was not so; but peace
will come and strength viii come, and res
i~gnation viii come, and hope will come
and we shall { Ell able to bear anything
which God shall send, and though He slay
us we still shall seek Him, and even il the
blacklist cloud of anguish SEEMS to shroud
His face from US, even on that cloud shall
the rainbow shine.-F. W. Farrar.

Poultry Notes.

Sour, tainted or wet land will slaugh-
ter more fowls and chicks than will
the dreaded Group.
In feeding linseed meal use one.
tenth of the linseed to nine-tenths Of
corn-meal. All feed dealers sell it.
A great deal of sickness among
poultry can be traced to polluted soil.
This is especially so in cases Of cholera
and kindred ailments.
Long legs do not indicate impurity
of blood in any breed. An occasional
bird of any variety may grow tall,
but such freak specimens should not
be used as breeders.
It is not essential to have a male
bird with a flock of layers. Eggs from
minated hens will keep longer than
eggs laid by mated hens.
No. we do not recommend crushed
glass for grit, it is dangerous. If you
can not get natural grit in the form of
gravel, better buy the commercial ar
ticle; it is not expensive.
Fancy appliances do not always pro-
duce good results. Some have spent
large sums of money in appliances
which have not produced as good re-
suits as the old, dilapidated henhouse,
made of old boards, owned by some
who studies henology.
In every lot of young broilers there
are always solle big, lusty fellows
that grow faster than the others. They
u over the weaker ones, get more
than their share of yhe food, in fact,
the best of everything. The weak one
are afraid of these ppgnacious chicks
and will not thrive with them. The
proper thing to do is to separate them,
give the quiet mes b chance for their
lives in a separate pesx and the strong
ones can fight It out amApg themselves.

AGRICULTURAL
Runs For Early Lambs.

More than a little of the trouble
sheep raisers have is due to the wrong
sort of care given to lambs. Properly,
peSlaps, lambs are considered rather
delicate and needing considerable care.
On the other hand some men leave the
lambs with the eve too long. and ex-
pect her to provide all of the nourish.
ment they need. This is not right, for
the lambs soon get beyond the capa-
city of the mothers milk, and need
food in the shape of ground oats and
a little fine hay. They will learn to
eat quickly and early, and if a place
is provided for them to feed in which
the sheep can not reach they will
thrive wonderfully. AS soon as the
grass is in shape to pasture the lambs
should be given a chance at it, but
only for a little time each day at first
unless one is prepared to doctor scours.

Keep. the Soul on Top.

We are tod of a little boy who was
asked by his mother on returning from
Sunday-school what he had learned in his
class.
well, mamma" said the little fellow,
81 have learned that it is always best to
keep the soul on top. Teacher said so,
and taught us a verse that means that.
What was the verse, darling! said
the wondering mother.
Il cant remember it, mamma, but that's
what it means, anyway.
The mother thought long, and finally
by dint of questioning, found 1t was PauPs
declaration, but l keep under my body,
and bring it into subjection. Ind tears
came to her ewes as she thought the hit
tie son had gotten the larger meaning Of
the text in his homely Interpretation,
Keep the soul on top"

Can You Raise Horsesq

1t is surprising how general the be-
lief is that there is not money in
raising horses. The feeling is that the
number of bicycles and automobiles
on the market and the increasing in
terest in these machines together with
the gradual abandonment of horses for
use on street railways, means that the
supply of horses greatly exceeds the
demand. Apparently it has not been
considered that vast numbers of horses
die yearly and many more are used
up in the wars that have taken place
since the introduction and the general
use of the bicycle. 1t is stated by a
good authority that upward Of 10000
horses die annually in the State of
New York, and certainly New York
does not make this Poss good from
horses born and raised in the State.
1t is fair to assume that the same state
Of affairs obtains in other sections. If
a farmer is SO situated that he can
raise horses and understands the work
there certainly will be good profit in
it for years to come. Look into the
matter if you are able to raise good
horses.
