THE BEST FOWL.

We very frequently receive inquiries
us to which is the best breed OF hens.
1t is not an easy question TO answer.
for there really Is no best breed In
hens any more than there is In cattle
or hogs. Some breeds of fowls - for
instance, the Silver Laced Wyandottes
and the Partridge Cochins-are espe-
cially desirable for their good looks and
handsome plumage; the Buff Cochin
and tho White Brahma are valuable as
winter layers and because thirty inch
wire fence will keep them in the yard;
the Dominiques. Minorcas and Leghorns
are good as forngers and nonsitters,
but will fly over a twenty foot fence
and prefer tree to house for roost-
ing place: the Houdnn is the standard
fowl of France--glSat layers of large.
white eggs, but tender breed for the
north country. The Rocks, bun. white
and barred, probably come the nenrest
to an all round, useful and profitable
fowl for the average man. They are
good winter layers If properly fed and
cared for md make good fowls for the
market No other thing which man
keeps on the farm depends SO much on
proper care and food as the hen, and
when cared for and fed as it should be
almost any breed is i; good breed. and
when neglected the best breeds are un-
profitable.

RANGE LANDS,

We have several inquiries us to the
character Of the western Nebraska
land which the government will SOON

for many years a vast cattle range for

and use OF which there has been SO

and the government 1t Is included

desert. territory of scant rainfall
and hot winds. of sparse vegetation,
where the range was based OH giving
ten acres or more to steer While Of
ten tried, it has been found that the
ordinary field crops of the country east
of it cannot be successfully there raised,
but within q few years past 1t has
been shown pretty concluslvely that On
much of this land winter wheat. nj
falfa, bronze grass, speltz, macaronf
wheat and Kafiir corn Gun be success
fully raised. Where these crops can
be grown the land is of much value,
for with them meat can be made. and
meat always means money. We be-
lieve that any land which Will produce
fair crops of alfalfa can be made very
profitable indeed. We should consiGer
this proposition worth looking up IL we
wanted some cheap land.

THE Rorr,HG srumn.

There is much difference in the time
required for the stumps on timber land
to run. We find that the hard maple,
hickory, ironwood and red oak will rot
the soonest of any variety of timbev
common to the north country. THO
conifers are slow in decaying, owing
to the resinous properties Of the wood.
Black walnut and bur oak will, hang
on almost indefinitely. We this spring
removed the stump of walnut tree
which was cut forty years ago, and
aside from an inch or SO Of decayed
wood on the outside it was as sound as
ever. The modern grub or stump pull
ers are great help in clearing up tim
Der land. for while they leave some
large and ugly holes where the stumps
are taken ont, they make clean job
of all roots and permit the fitting Of
ground for II crop with minimum of
trouble. If used to clear land the trees
could be cut Off about two feet from
the ground, as it is then easier work
to fasten the cable to them.

GERS in the brilliant uniforms they had
worn at the ball rushed with those in
working garh and searched bazaars,
coffee houses and churches. There was
not square foot Of ground in Tiflis
that was not searched nor q building

Mystified, baf1led and enraged, Jur-

and soldiers searched, Charka and his
boat continued slowly down the river
BY daylight Charka had made twenty
miles and tied up at the rotting wharf
of a small town. Leaving his men in
charge he went ashore to buy food. He
returned with a sufficient supply for the
day, and the boat went on, A little
steam launch containing soldiers came
putting up behind him..
"Who are you?" demanded the Off
Ger. "Why do you leave Tifis with a
load Of hay? The markets are there"
There are no markets for me-" said
Charka, with a sad wall MANY days
have l spent on the journey. Many
nights lay and thought of my profits.
At last, when l reached Tiflis, there

of the car came in the night and

One of the greatest pleasures in con-
Quoting farm is 10 have well bred
stock to care for. 1t Is not at all n
difficult matter to get rid of all
scrubs on the farm ana replace them
with animals and fowls Of good breed
ing. The fact should never be lost sight
of that well bred stock always re-
sRends more probably to proper care
and food than do the mongrels and
scrubs. Then such stock always brings
better price when sold and Is more
pleasing to care for While we are for
pence as a general proposition, we still
advise an unrelenting war on scrubs
OF all kinds.

The value Of deep blowing depends
altogether upon what sort of soil you
have and what the rainfall Is. In
general way 1t will Go no harm to pillow
any clay or loan lands deeply IN the
early fall or at any time of the year
in all those sections where it is desir-
able to conserve all the moisture pos
sible, but deep spring blowing is death
to the crop for that year on all light
sandy or gravelly soils. We like eight
inch blowing on stiff soils about once
in six years, keeping inside Of five
inches the balance of tile time.

The people of Holland, whose farms
have been reclaimed from the North
sea by a wonderful system Of dykes
and drainage are devoted mostly to
dairying, the land being valued at from
$500 to $500 per acre. AS may be In
ferred, the dairy business in there nee
essarlly conducted on the most scien-
tific and correct plan, otherwise 1t
would be impossible to use such high
priced land in that way. A late gov
eminent report gives the average milk
production per cow ut 1896 pounds and
the average butter product per COW at
321 pounds. Just what this means ia
better understood when we compare 1t
with the butter product Of Iowa and
Minnesota dairy herds, which average
less than $50 pounds.

We are asked which possesses the
greater intelligence-the horse or the
dog. There is but little difference. In
dividual dogs and individual horses
have been taught to do some remark
able things. OF the two, the dog is the
more easily trained. And. while speak
ing Of animal intelligence, there is
nothing very slow about the pig. When
a hog can be taught to play cards he is
not much behind the horse which will
pump his own drink or the dog which
will steal for his master.
