HERE AND THERE,

There is danger of overlooking
just before the COW calves. Too little
feed is better than too much during
such period.
"A Kentucky farmer living near Bel
mont lost two fine cows recently.
Their death was caused by eating Sec
ond growth sugar cane.
The more one studies the nervous
system of the COW the more does one
become impressed with the serious
danger and loss which result from ex-
citing it.
The hogs quarters, which includes
the places frequented by them in feed
ing and in sleeping, should be thor
oughly cleansed and impurities carted
off or burned
Tree planting, with vegetables be-
tween rows of young trees, fertiling,
legumes for land and live stock, pure
breeds of stock--these are big lessons
in the intelligent diversification of our
interests.
Experiment has proved very clear
ly that a hog of good bacon type can
be fed just as eheaply as one of the
undesirable type. This also applies TO
animals Of the same breed, but o. E
ferent types.

Just why so many are so slow TO use

CONSUMERS AND FRESH EGGS.
BeEet Confidence in the Freshness
OF Your Offerings, and n Good
Market is Assured.

Fresh eggs sell at all seasons and in
all markets. Cold-storage eggs. or
those that are picked in brine or lime,
do not interfere with the prices Of
strictly fresh eggs. Consumers, how
ever, do not always know where to buy
the best, and many of them, in order to
procure strictly fresh eggs, are salts
fled when they can get them from
some cold farmer" But even the "old
farmer" is not always wiser than the
customer, allowing Tor producing them
himself with the aid of the hens, as
some "old farmers" buy eggs, or bring
them to market for their neighbors.
There is a great deal of faith in
buying eggs, and much depends on
Confidence" and from whom they are
purchased. When the markets are
well supplied, the least desirable goods
brings very low prices. 1t is then that
the poultrymen ventiiates his opinion
of the commission merchant, and
charges him with many sins that
should be laid at the door of the poul-
tryman himself. If everything sold
in the market depended on quality
much light would be thrown on the
business of buying and selling. The
farmer has many advantages, how
ever, if he only will use them. IL he
had a reputation as one who made a
practice of selling choice poultry and
eggs, he would soon find the commits.

and they would compete with each
other in the endsavor to secure his
trade. 1t would require some extra
time and labor for the farmer to es.
tablish this reputation, but that is no
more than is required of men engaged
in any other industry. Make a repu-
tation, however, and it will last for
life, or as long as the farmer main
tains 1t. Prices can lie kept up by
quality, and If the merchant quotes
one price, the farmer can demand

chants who sell eggs know that the
customers are willing to pay extra
prices for fresh eggs, and that they
frequently judge Of the quality of eggs
by the prices asked; the merchants,
also, when fresh cess are scarce, some
times select the best on hand, and add
from two to five cents on the price, If
they did not do SO, the customer would
not buy them. This shows that the
customers are willing to pay something
extra for good article, and they will
pay the extra price more willingly to
the farmer than they will to the mer-

HUSTLING.
rye Hustler, He He tanker, Mer-

Who Gets Things.

A little book, which one of our banks
Ia distributing as an advertisement,
mas a number of proverbs scattered
through its pages, one of which says:
"All things come to him who waits,
but a choicer collection may be had
by going after them" The meaning
is that while one is waiting for the
slow process Of time to bring around
his share, the hustler" has gone on
ahead and secured the best. This is
true in all things, and as much SO III
dairying as in anything else. The man
who is satisfied 20 go along with his
125 pounds of butter, per COW, per an
nun, Is just as certain to fall behind

cows, as anything can be, and so is
the waiter" in all lines. The keep
ing of 125-pound cows or growing min
imum crops of cotton or wheat or hay
is Just simply laziness, and is not to
be excused on any other grounds. If
one man can make bale of cotton
to the acre by good farming there
is no other name that will apply to
his neighbor who only makes a half
bale per acre, so well as lazy.
1t is true he may do let's of manual
labor, and he may be considered by
his neighbors TO be industrious, but
the fact that he does not make as
much as his neighbor shows that he is
lazy IN his thinking" department
1t 81 surprising how slow farmers
are about changing their methods. One
man will make bale of cotton to the
acre ard his neighbor with adjoining
farm make only half a bale. One
thinks" as well as works. The other
only works. One succeeds. The other
does not. The one is constantly i'm
proving. The other stands still.
