| four-fushfng, pretending to be what
we are not, to have what we have not.
| 1t is worthy of observation i'm passing
| that so-existent with this evil is the
| indisposition of young men to marry.
Young men on small incomes call on
young women whose apparel and Jew
elry would inventory the young mans
earnings for year. If the Young
man thinks, and evidently he does, his
calls cease to mean anything serious
and he drops out of the running, the
young woman being left to find her
way to the shelf unless some one with
large means happens along, and the
young man to continue unmarried, at
least until late in life. Neither is dis
posd to make sacrifices. They want
a carpeted pavement, lined on either
side with flowers Invested Of all thorns.
At the very bottom of the discourage
ing sociological outlook of our coun-
try, is the question of incomes and
the related indisposition to endure sac
ritice after marriage.

FEEDING Farm Horses.

The following rations have been
found by the different experiment sta
tons to be economical under their To-
cal conditions and to sustain the horses
in good condition while engaged at
regular work: New Hampshire station;
horses weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds.
Ration No. l, timothy hay, Or corn
stover, ten pounds; bran, two pounds;
corn six pounds, and gluten feed, six
pounds. Ration No. 2, timothy hay
or corn slower, twelve pounds; bran
seven pounds. and corn seven pounds.
Ration No. 8, timothy hay or corn sto-
yer, ten pounds; corn eight pounds and
oil meal four pounds. The substitu-
ton of oats for the bran in ration two
gave practically the same results as to
condition of team but the cost of ra-
ton was greater. The corn slower was
run thru cutter before being fed.
At the Iowa station 1900 pound
horses are fed twelve pounds of hay
and twelve pounds of mixed grains and
grain by-products. The mixture is var
led according to the price of the diff
ferent grains and by-products. A ia
vorite mixture being three parts oats,
two parts corn and one part bran.
Another ration given by this station
is ten pounds oat straw and fifteen
pounds of oats and corn mixed in equal
parts by weight. We presume bran
could be substituted, pound for pound.
for part OF all Of the oats without
decreasing the value of the ration.
The California station recommends
for the Pacific coast conditions, the
following rations, per 1000 pounds live
weight: Ration No. 1, alfalfa hay,
twelve pounds; wheat hay, eleven
pounds, and crushed barley seven
pounds. Ration No. 2, alfalfa hay, ten
pounds; barley hay, twelve pounds:
and cracked corn, seven pounds. Mo-
lasses has been satisfactorily fed to a
large number of draft horses averag-
ing 1900 pounds in weight as follows:
Night and morning a quart of molasses
diluted with three quarts Of water;
was mixed with six pounds of cut hay.
fifteen quarts corn meal and rs quarts
bran. In addition the horses were fed
five quarts of oats at noon and eleven
pounds of hay at night. The above
rations Will serve as a guide in making
up a combination to suit local condi-
lions.

LARGE Farms Not Necessary.

| ut is not always the man with his
many sections of land that we call the
most successful farmer; in fact, never
consider the number of acres at all IN
the case where a man has more than he
can attend to, or not enough to Keep
him busy. In other words, he should
have enough to turn around ON, and not
more than he can properly care for.
believe in fewer acres and keeping
them in higher state of cultivation
and fertility" remarks farmer in the
Epitomist.
."rhe number of acres will depend
upon many conditions, and we could
not give an example which would suit
all, But on the average I think that
from forty to eighty acres make nice
farm. This is enough for one man,
and his object should be to make 1T his
home and keep improving 1T.
"a short time ago 1 saw letter
from young man who was engaged IN
other occupations of life, written to
an older farmer. This young man
was about to fall heir to thirty acres
Of land and he wanted to know If he
could make a living on that amount.
He was raised on farm, but had been
in the city for several years. Now, can
he make a good living and little
more? He can, and do it easily, but
not without work. l DO not mean that
he will have to work himself to death,
but earnest labor and much manage
ment will be needed. The thirty acres
is fairly good land and I would con-
slider it a good chance for him. Farm
inc may seem little backward to him
at first, but If he is determined he Will
succeed. If he doesn't succeed, 1t VIII
not be because the thirty acres is too
small. but because he does not man
age properly; and II he cannot man
age thirty acres as he should, now
can he manage more any better?
an all cases of this kind and among
all farmers, good management is what
is needed, and without it there is no
success in farming, and I might say, in
anything else. There are men who
make a living and more on less land
than this, and there are men who DO
not make living on three times this
amount I do not consider it ques-
ton of how many acres, but how the
acres are managed. When we think
that some men get over $1,000 OH ar
acre Of strawberries, 1t is apparent that
it does not take many acres Tor these
men to make living on"

Drain the Wet Spots.

Wet land should be drained, as 1t may
be the most fertile on the farm. by
the use of drain tile there VIII be no
unsightly open bitches. and the heid
can be cultivated as easily as any
other. If the land is not very wet the
cost of the drainage will be but very
little. and such land will be just as
valuable for pasturage as before, with
the added advantage of being adapted
to greater variety of praises than
formerly. 1t can then also come I'M
der the regular crop rotation. Ii d
plot has been too wet to use for Or
binary crops it will also be too wet
for grass some years. and when drained
it will produce green food earlier in the
spring and later in the fall.

'Js there not need Of a better pub
lie sentiment on the subject of sign

Freeman Tribune. Many men Will
sign anything merely to get rid of a
bore They recommend book which
they know nothing about rather than
hurt someone's feelings by q refusai.
They will recommend men as highly
fitted for positions they positively
know they are utterly untitled for.
They will even give to candidates the
strongest letters of Endorsement for an
office, and then write secret letters to
headquarters to say that the indorse-
ment is not to be regarded" The Free
man believes THE laxity of practice
is fast taking all value from such doc
uments. Such a loose policy as is now
pursued ought to be classed with other
falsehoods, deception and conspira-
cies to defraud."

The Iowa slough and all the Iowa
lakes near the rivers are full of carp.
They come out in the grass where the
water is shallow, and hundreds of them
can be seen with their backs sticking
out Of the water. When they are
frightened they make more noise than a
drove of shoats. A fellow could shoot
dozen at once with shotgun. They
have eaten all of the moss and reeds
out of the water and thus destroyed
the places where the bass like to har-
Dor. They are blamed for eating the
spawn of other fish and it is likely
they will destroy all other fish. They
sell for one cent a pound.
The men who introduced the Eng
fish sparrow and the German carp are

body was praising the German carp
and stocking the ponds with them,
and now no one has a good word to
say for them.
