First CLASS Stock Pays.

1t costs no more on the farm to
raise f1rst-class stock than to raise
poor or intermediate grades. This is
an axiom. An axiom it will be remem-
bered is q truth that does not need
demonstration. Then If it does not
cost more ON farm to raise the better
class of stock, the first thought in a
live stock breeders mind should be
improvement This may in some in
stances be necessarily a slow process
if one is limited somewhat in means.
But persevere and start in small way.
One will learn gradually the best
methods in feeding, breeding and gem
eral care. This will, when most need
ed, be a rich experience, and with q
start in stock of which one has aNper-
sonal knowledge, much more can be
accomplished than with several thou
sand dollars spent on a strange bunch
of cattle Decide as early as possible
whether to raise stock for market or
for milking, and breed accordingly. A

Marketing Turkeys.

After the turkeys are grown and
ready for market, quite as much care
should be given to the killing and
shipping as to the proper growing.
Where these things can not be done
to good advantage, it is better to sell
them alive. Buyers who are prepared
to kill, dress, pack and ship turkeys,
and to save the feathers, should be in
position to pay what they are worth
alive and should be able to handle
them at profit, better than can the
grower, who may not be prepared to
do the work to advantage. So much
depends upon marketing them in the
best condition shat small growers
should either dress and sell to their
home market, or, providing it can be
done at fair price, sell alive to some
one who makes business of handling
such stock.-Farmers' Home Journal.

LOCAL COLOR TOO STRONG
Sunday School Girl Works Local Ho-
tel Into the Story Of
Bethlehem,

Seneca, Nemeh county, Kan, is thriv.
ing town of almost 5000. Travellers
thereto, says the Philadelphia Press, put up
at the Clifford house, which is a real brick
hotel and is regarded by the permanent
population as the latest thing in the hos
telry line in the northeastern part of the
state. TO the children of the town it il
known as "The Hotel"
So it was that when a faithful Sunday
school teacher endeavored to fix on the
minds of her small pupils the story Of
the birth of Christ she described how Mary
and Joseph had come into Bethlehem on the
eve of the first Christmas and found the
inn full of guests. To make it realistic she
used the simile of the town of Seneca and
explained how it was just as though the
weary travellers had come in from the sur
rounding country at evening
Too well she drew the picture, for one
young miss was so impressed with the
local color that when the Christmas festi-
val came and the superintendent of the
school asked for the tale of Bethlehem this
young lady started out in this fashion:
Mary and Joseph came to Bethlehem,
but the Clifford house was full"
She got no farther, however, for the
walls of the church rang with the laugh
ter of the audience, which realized that
here was local color with vengeance.

HARVESTING CORN.
Improved Machinery Has RevOlu-

Great Cereal Crop.

The old method of cutting and
shocking corn by hand, allowing the

ping the corn from the stalks and al

in connection with corn fodder, as it

THE NECESSITY OF REST.
Substitution Of Energy and Loss Of
Sleep Sure to Result in
Injury.

Natures demands for rest are inn
perative. They are often enforced
through the infection Of pain, and per-
sistent disregard of them is punished
at times with death, says Youths Com
panion. The unresisting infant spends
much more than half its time in sleep,
and it should be encouraged to do so.
fol-. sleep is the type of perfect rest, and
most essential to growth. In adult life,
energy can be made substitute for rest
to remarkable extent. The hours OF
sleep may be reduced from the normal
eight to four, and the week may be
robbed Of its Sabbath; yet not with
impunity. Such practices beget pre-
disposition to the contagious and in
fictitious diseases, diminish the capabili-
ty for efficient work, and often induce
disorders OF the nervous system. The
penalty may be long deferred, but it
frequently becomes more severe with
delay. In all circumstances, rest should
be commensurate with labor or exer-
else.
The apparent demand for rest varies
with the temperament and vigor Of the
person; sometimes it is governed large
ly by habit, and it is often increased
by an inability to obtain complete re-
pose. Ability to rest is, with many
people, a natural faculty, while with
others it is an art. The first step toward
acquiring it is generally the systematic
ing OF ones duties so that no unfinished
tasks remain at night to occupy the
mind. Lassitude and drowsiness, on the
other hand, are often induced by reten-
ton of ptomains or other poisonous
matters in the system, and rest is of lit
tie benefit until the poisons have been
removed.
Benefit may often be derived from
shortening of the intervals between the
periods of repose. A sound nap of only
few minutes duration in the middle
OF the day, for example, is more bene-
fetal than several hours of sleep made
restless or broken by dreams as a re-
suit of prolonged fatigue But the mind
is more quickly refreshed than the body,
and the apparent IMMIGRATION after a
short sleep may prove to be of almost
as short duration.
There are many ways, too, of obtain
ing both mental and physical recupera-
ton without increasing the hours OF
sleep; even without idleness Some per-
sons can obtain it best in reading, others
in conversation, and others, again, in
solitude and thought, with a couch, a
hammock or a rocking-chair for the
sake of muscular relaxation.
In addition to all ordinary rest every
one ought to take vacation of sew
eral weeks duration once a year or
oftener, at such times and in such man
ner as will give the most complete re-
taxation and abstraction from accus-
toned worry and care.
The leader., 1904-11-05

I. Don't urge the steady farm horse
to 60 ahead at more than his accus-
toned speed when on the road--re-
gardless of your own haste. It will be
felt afterward as an unusual and try
ing exertion.
2. Try not to allow farm horse .
monotonous standstIll Lameness fol-
lows, some sort of stiffness will be
noticeable, and stumbler is the ulti-
mate consequence.
3. 1t is useless to show a horse his
right place, or stepping out. Every
horse is born either right or left
handed, same as people, therefore use
the stronger size every time.
4. Beware Of irregular feeding; give
no grain when your horse is back
after some hard work, don't practice Q
constant bite" of hay in his rack or
manger, but feed a good, substantial
balanced ration, with water afterward,
s. Look out for unkindness and
loneliness in his stable; let him have
q dog, goat or some other companion,
If he takes to such. Give wide berth
to a rough. ill-tempered groom or sta
bic man. It needs ''horsey educated"
person to take good charge of horses
lone that has the "know how" all
along that line, and who has better
chance to become such than a bright,
active farmer? Try TO get posted in
the work, beginning at home. Steer
clear of bad shoeing; employ a skilled
blacksmith-and even he may need
watching, for blacksmiths are often
hurried and slight the shoeing. Let
the horse go shoeless rather than
travel in too-long-worn shoes. Exam
inc the feet often, and search for lodg-
ments of small stones.
6. See to the harness, that they fit
the collar snug, and suitable for his
neck. Give yielding check-rein,
never SO tight as to prevent lower
ing of the head while working. Re-
move all dried perspiration and dan
druff from the horses body or it will
invite a sore neck or back. Sheepskin
pads, made at home, are good to have
always ready for an emergency case.
And then sharp currycomb with a
hurried and careless handler is cruelty
personified. Some horses skins are
more tender than others; they notice
the touch of bungler and finch inn
mediately. Every man should know
the horse he grooms and be watchful.

Experimenting on the influence of
metal containers on the fermentation OF
liquids, Leopold Nathan has shown that
German silver, copper, zinc, brass and
bronze have decidedly strong inhibi-
tory effect, while tin and lead have mod
crate action. Polished iron, silver. gold,
polished tin, aluminium, nickel, as well
as cellufoid, glass and hard rubber, have
little or no effect. The smoothness OF
the surface of metals seems to have de-
cided influence.
