Mental Labor on the Farm.

Any farmer who depends altogether
on the seasons and hard work for sue
cess in his business may make some
sort Of a living and even Increase his
small capital by natural increment, but
he will never merit the appellation of
successful farmer Industry is ii good
trait OF character. but often good de
gree Of that which looks like Iaziness
leads 10 better results. For instance.
a man may be so lazy that he habitual-
" works hard on labor saving contriv-
ances, by which he can accomplish
greater results with less labor, do more
aud better work with less physical ex-
ertion He may be so lazy that he will
do no work in a slipshod manner, for
IN that case he would have TO do the
work over again. No farmer can be
successful unless he does large
amount Of mental labor. and mental
labor saves physical labor and makes
what physical labor is necessary far
more effective. Tie very best work at
the very best time cannot be done by
unaid d physical effort To do such
work requires deep and persistent

American Breeders Association.

The general. chairman of the membership com
mittee of the American Breeders Association,
Mr.. Eugene d. Funk, Bloomington, ILL.,, is pro-
crossing with his campaign for a large member
ship for that new organization. The State Chair
man, in the various States, and other State COM
m~itteemen, are inviting thousands of animal
breeders, plant breeders, scientists interested in
heredity and evolution, and others who are inter
ested in plant and animal improvement to be-
come members. The secretary, Prof. W. M. Hays,
St. Anthony Park, Mimi, to whom all remittances
are made, reports daily responses in the way of
remittances for membership. Some have express
ed the belief that the annual membership at ST. is
too low. A number of life memberships at $40
have been received, among them one from Philip
de Vilmoin, head of the great seed house of Paris.
France, and another from the Geological Labora-
tory, Naples, Italy. A number of annual foreign
memberships at SO have also been received.
Animal breeders especially commend the pro-
posed scheme of a directory of breeders, showing
classes of live stock and plants for sale by breed
ers, and showing specialties of scientists interest
ed in breeding. Physicians and teachers are tax
ing an interest in this association, that they may
know about the general subject of heredity.
There is a wide range of interests represented
by those who join this new association. Not only
is the number of breeders of different kinds of
animals in America increasing, but the field crops
and many of the horticultural crops are being
taken up by breeders who are improving them by
systematic breeding. The work of the expert
ment stations and the United States Department
of Agriculture is especially effective in reducing
breeding to more of a science.

CESSATION Periods.
The following communication has be

The following communication has been received
from a subscriber, Mr.. FL. F.. Lenth:
II wish you would publish the CESSATION table
of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs"
In his recent work on "The Care of Animals"
DR.. S. N. Mayo gives the CESSATION table as fol-
lows:
Mare, about 344 days, or eleven months.
Cow, about $50 days, or ninth months.
Eve, about 152 days, or five months.
Sow, about 112 days, or three and a half
months.
We are not familiar with the source from which
DR.. Mayo computes the above figures, but it is
our opinion, based on experience, that the period
given in each case, with the exception of the
SOW, is a little too long. We believe that 1856
days is more nearly the period for the mare, 275
days for the COW, 147 days for the eve, and, as
DR.. Mayo says, 112 days for the SOW. Of course
individuals vary considerably, especially among
the equines, while even the bovines may miss this
period by several days, although the sheep and
the SOW seldom vary from the figures given more
than one or two days.

apostles of such a creed have done more injury
than they can ever repair, from the fact that a
specious argument and false notion travel faster
than a good one. For dairy purposes, get a
specialized COW; for beef purposes, get a
specialized COW, and for general purposes, get a
general purpose COW. This latter definition I shall
never try to explain. There are lots of folks, how
ever, that fill the bill.
HOW TO GET THE MODEL COW.
Query: How are you to get this COW? In order
to get her in perfection, you must go back to
several generations of grandmothers. For if they
have not a record for making butter and superior
milking qualities, even a good mother and sire
will not always redeem them. A line of great
performing grandmothers is, the true secret of
breeding. You may also have the best mother in
the world, and unless bred to a dairy sire you
may get a much poorer COW than herself; hence
the truism, "The sires, 70 per cent of the herd"
and by a dairy sire, [ mean one with those long
lines of grandmothers on both sides; all must be
record COWS on both sides for several generations.
The sires should have practically the same dairy
points as the COW, his daughters follow him in
stead of the dame, as usually with well-developed
rudimentary teats, and general feminine appear
ances, except the head and neck, should be more
masculine. Remember one of the often quoted
fallacies about the dairy COW is, "That the corn
crib cross is the best cross for a cow" Many
young breeders fall into this sad error, chiefly, I
think, because when at fairs and other show
places they see fat count so much. This may meet
with approval by beef feeders, but should never
be allowed in judging a dairy COW, for she very
evidently cannot do both, turn her feed into beef
and butter at the same time, and it usually costs
as much to make a pound of beef as it does a
pound of butter, and we all know which is worth
the most in the market. It is blood, j. e., proper
breeding that tells at the milk pail and butter
table. You can increase your flow of milk by
feed, but not the contents of butter fat. To do
that you must have the proper line of breeding tc
fix the butter fat; process of assimilation and
| evolution. Many a COW has been discarded be-
cause she would give only two gallons of milk
per day, and a COW kept that gave four, yet the
two gallon COW made the most butter. But what
we want is the four and eight gallon cow, and
then see by proper breeding she shows up 4 t.,
per cent butter fat, then you will have a paying
COW. The two gallon COW gives too little even
if it is 5 per cent fat, for she will only make
about three-quarters of a pound of butter, when
the cow with a large flow often compensates if she
has only 3 per cent butter fat, as her ofal milk
can be fed to the calf, pigs, fowls, etc.

Successful Affair. Delightful Pro-
gram. Miss Chase az Soloist.

An exceedingly pleasant social
function which gave large number
of ladies an opportunity to meet the
new pianist Of the Wilder Orchestra,
Miss Edith Chase. was given by the
ladies auxiliary of the Y. NJ. O. A. at
the association building on Monday
afternoon.
The program was fitting and we'll
chosen. 1t was Miss Chases first APP
pearance as a soloist before a Mont
pelier audience. She gave two selec-
tions, paraphrase, Alice" by
Ascher, containing a lovely rippling
melody. which she rendered with
what seemed marvellous accuracy and
smoothness; and later she made to
appear, with artistic skill, something
of the peculiar evanescent charm of
that brilliant composer, Chopin, in a
Polonaise. =" She also proved an
admirable aocompanist.
OF the other numbers on the pro-
gram especially pleasing was the
beautiful clarinet solo. 'Stephanie
Gavotte," Czibulka, played by Mr..
Marshall besides these we're "a violin
solo, 'Berceuse' from Jocelynt
GODDARD, by Mrs. Sheldon; oorne
solo, "Werner's Parting Song, "
Nessler, by Mr. Forsell and by no
means less enjoyable the dainty open
ing overture, "Frolic of the Fairies, -
by Bigge, and the closing number, a
lively two step, The Troubador, "
Powell, played by the orchestra
These musical numbers supplement-
ed by the reading, by Mr.. Church
Sanderson, of Riley's THAT Old
Sweetheart of Mine" and THE Lost
Kiss, by the SAME author, com bined
to furnish treat warmly appreciated
by the ladies. A social hour followed
during which refreshments were
served.
Mrs F. A. Sherburne, president of
the ladies auxiliary, Mrs E. II.
Deavitt and Mrs. H. j NJ. Jones
were in charge Of the affair, thus
happily presenting one who will
readily take prominence in musical
circles-an acquisition certain to
meet with high favor
At the business meeting held later
it was decided to give another play at
some time after Easter The one
| chosen is The Henrietta" in which
Stewart Robson made his great hit.
The same cast. so far as possible,
that took the parts in the two pre-
ceding plays, "Sweet Lavender" and
The Other Fellow, will appear in
this, which is much the most ambi-
tious yet undertaken. 1t will take
the rest of the winter in preparation
that when presented it may be an
entire success.
