HERE AND THERE.

An angora Is q good deal like Z
sheep in th2: the important part Of its
shelter must be such that it will keep
it dry.
The underbrush on farm is done
for" when flock of Angoras is turned
into it. Brush and goats can not live
on the same farm.
When one comes to take broad
view of the matter there is, in reality,
no best breed of fowls, for what one
breed lacks may be the special virtue
of another.
-Stockmen are much too lax in the
matter of having registered animals
transferred on the records Of the asso-
Citations in which they are entered and
numbered.
AT the weaving time the best OPP
portunity is given for determining the
value of the breeding ewes. A large.
fair lamb now is better recommended
than heavy fleece.
The most formidable insect which
has ever threatened the fruit interests
OF the United States is the San jose
scale, and il unchecked it will in a few
years destroy many orchards and gar
dens.
Exercise is conductive to the best
development of the gifts and it also
puts them into the best of condition
for breeding purposes. A roomy pas.
ture with heritage in all parts is worth
more than the feed found upon it.
Corn may or MAJ not be q good
feed in the grain raticn. It will de-
pend upon the use the cows make of
it. If you have COWS that will convert
it into milk it is good, If into beef, it
is bad-that is, il you are in the dairy
business.
Fodder corn. If frozen when wet,
is not good for feed:aE. When a corn
stalk has the nature Sf an icicle thaw
it out before feeding. For this reason
fodder com should ~ fed first in the
season, leaving the Lay till later II
hay is to be fed.

WAREHOUSES; ON THE FARM.
The Most Sensible and Practical
Method of Holding u Cotton Crop
for Paying Prices.

The all-absOrbing cotton question,
has called forth many suggestions,
from many sources, some wise and
many otherwise. We southern plant
ers should entertain no plan save that
which is both thoroughly practical and
economical. We want to be saving and
thrifty, so that we can get able to hold
our own cotton until we are offered q
price that will give fair remuneration
for raising it. We should use every
legitimate means in our power, first,
that no one should have any claim up
on it, and second, to lessen the ex-
pense of commissions and handling.
One practical suggestion has come to
us that will be of untold benefit to the
south if adopted. And it requires no
organization or unanimous consent OF
all farmers to carry it out. 1t will DO
of practical benefit to each and every
individual farmer who is able to put
it into execution. It is this, let every
farmer who raises as much as fifty
bales of cotton, erect a rock or brick
warehouse on his own farm, store his
cotton at home and pay nothing but
his own insurance. This warehouse
can be built of rocks that should be re-
moved from the land, on most of tho
southern farms. 1t should be a SUBJ
stantial and fire-proof building in ev-
cry way. Then they should get low
rate of insurance. The cotton would
be kept out of the weather and pre-
vented from aiding the bears by COM
ing ''in sight" as every bale that is car
ried to town, Immediately becomes.
They could get buyer to come to their
home, when prices justified and sell
right from their own warehouse, saw
ing weighing and commissions. When
not full of cotton, this fire-proof build
ing will always be handy in storing
farm machinery or many things of val
ue which every well-to-do farmer has
on his plantation. 1t does not pay to
leave cotton out in the weather or put
it near the barn as many are doing
now. In case of fire, they do not want
everything together. Before another
cotton crop Is gathered, we hope there
will be built ten thousand such farm
warehouses, by all who are able, and
they might help the situation by stor-
ing any Of their neighbors' who were
not able to build. We must get the
cotton business out of the other fell
lows hands as much as possible and
into our ovn.-Southern Cultivator.

very profitably, thus establishing q

very profitably, thus establishing q
great domestic industry and keeping
at home the vast sum Of money annu-
ally sent abroad for that product. The
sugar beet is the same plant as the or
binary garden beet which has been
made to yield an extraordinary per-
centage of sugar by selection of plants
for seed bearing from crop to crop.
There is therefore no reason why the
United States should not grow, not
only all the sugar needed for home con-
sumption, but export thousands Of tons
to other countries as do France, Ger
many and Austria. It Is also a mat
ter of wonder that we should import
more than $10,OOO,OO0 worth Of goat
skins every year when the fact has
been repeatedly demonstrated that
goats can be raised in every state of
the union of as good quality and at as
small cost as anywhere else in the
world. The fact is, the American far
mer has much to learn in respect to
animal husbandry, and this is only one
circumstance in illustration. 1t is only
very recently that he has begun to
realize the fact that the same sheep
can be made to yield high priced wool
and first-rate mutton. There is, in
deed such big money in combining the
industries of mutton and wool produc-
lions that sheep-raising may be con-
Quoted profitably on the highest priced
lands and therefore it is ridiculous
that we should send abroad annually
millions of dollars for the purchase of
wool in foreign countries in order to
keep our own looms in operation. The
same principle applies to vegetables.
Why should it be necessary for us to
import nearly 100000 worth of beans
and peas annually? Might we not raise
them just as we'll on our own soil? Is
there any reason why we should not
raise the 100000 worth of cabbage
and the 100000 worth of potatoes
which we import every year? Is there
any reason why we should buy in 9TH
er countries over 100000 worth of hay,
100000 worth of hops and over ST.
100000 worth of rice?-Agricultura

FRIENDLY QUAILs.

How Farmer Glover Fed q Flock Day
After Day for Six Weeka.
One cold morning Farmer Glover
stood in the rear Of the barn, fork in
hand, looking out over the fields. Snow
storm had followed snowstorm, until
the stone walls were 30 covered that
the farm seemed like a great field, with
here and there a small grove to break
the monotony. The cattle had been
fed and each animal was munching
contentedly at its pile Of hay in the
sunshine, scattering chaff over the
snowy barnyard.
Suddenly, from the light woods near
the barn, came a startled "BOb-white"
Immediately there was an answering
call from the woods across the fields,
and then another and another. and
soon q flock of about twenty quail
alighted cautiously on the ground, two
or three rods from where Mr.. Glover
stood, and began picking up the seeds
from the hay which the cattle had
strewn over the snow. They scratched
about like a flock Of hens, and appar-
entity quite as much at home, and
chirped away while they worked, after
the fashion of tree Sparrows in the
weeds down by the BROOK.
Farmer Glover was careful not to
brighten his woodland guests, and the
next morning he put out wheat for
them and threw handouts Of chair in
the hay which the cattle had left. The
flock returned again and again, until
feeding the quailS has become as much
a part of the days routine as looking
after the hens and turkeys. One cold
morning after they had eaten, the
kind-hearted farmer found the whole
flock huddled together under the hay,
apparently enjoying the warmth
Strange to say, they never come fol
their food when it SsnowS or rains
When they have breakfasted, unless
frightened, they usually walk away tc
their favorite haunts in the grove
across tine fields. They never aligh'
on the trees, but occasionally perch OF
the rail fence. Once or twice, wher
no one was In alght they came neal
the house.
For six weeks the quails enjoyed
Farmer Glover's bounty. When spring
opens their kind-hearted protector
meets them only In the neids ant
woods: but whenever bob-wh1tO's mu
steal call comes over the summer
meadows 1t brings pleasant memories
of those winter breakfasts In tn
snowy barnyard.-St NichOlaA

the valet was not soldering, for he
managed to pile up $1,000 tailor

Mr.. Hill is afraid of his valet and
under that gentlsman's skillful hands
has become as Doodle az a lamb.
In addition to his knowledge of rail.

to these accomplishments the art
Of dressing. The railroad magnate
presents quite contrast today to what
he was several years ago. Little more
than ordinary attention was then paid
to the cut of his clothes, but now
since he has placed the management of
mis- wardrobe in the hands of q valet
his apparel is sans reproche.
