Dutch Are Thrifty.

The people Of the Netherlands are
thrifty and economical, excellent mer-
chants, and, in proportion to the popu-
lation, their nation is one of the rich
est in the world. They are cosmopoli-
tan and large minded in the invest
ment of their capital. They were the
first and most extensive foreign buyer
of United States bonds Of 1S61-65, but
did not touch the confederate Issues
According to estimates Of official sta
tistical and financial sources, Dutch
capital to the amount of $544,5OO,OOO
is invested in American bonds and
shares, and $40O,OOO.OO0 in Russian
bonds and shares. Very large sums
of Dutch capital are invested in Mex
lean government bonds and In bonds
and shares of Mexican railroad and in
dustrial companies; also in the gov
eminent and railroad bonds of Aus
tria Hungary, Portugal and numerous
other countries, and large amount is
working proftably in the Dutch In
dian colonies in sugar, tobacco and
IuDDcf tiV mining VI tih
and other metals, petroleum wells,
etc. A financial book of reference
places the capital of all Dutch joint
stock companies at $744, 10000, but
this does not embrace the numerous
Dutch companies which have their
headquarters in the colonies and In
foreign countries. The Netherlands,
possessing neither coal nor iron, Is not
a manufacturing country Of note, and
in this respect Is even surpassed by
little Switzerland, also having neither
coal nor iron. The Dutch are full Of
the commercial spirit and have large
merchant marine. The rural inhabi-
tants are given to dairying, cattle rails
ing and horticulture. in which branch
es they excel.-Brooklyn Eagle.

If you have good market, early
sweet corn is a paying crop, writes an
Iowa farmer. 1t can be planted thick
and an enormous number of ears
grown to the acre. l have had as high
as 1000 dozen ears to the acre, and it
generally sells at s cents to II cents 4
dozen. While the latter sorts are
much bigger and sweeter ears, they do
not, as rule, pay as well as the ear
lies. Plant Cory, White Mexican and
Early Minnesota. They will be done
and off the ground by the last part of
July. and you can get another crop in
after it, l generally drill sorghum in
between the rows when l lay it by.
and by the time the corn is picked and
the fodder cut off the sorghum is knee
high, and by fall will make several
tons of the finest of feed for horses
or cattle We grow all our fodder for
the horses that way, in early sweet
corn and early peas.

Poor Feed for Horses.

Sometimes it seems as If poor or
damaged food may be given fowls and
pigs without injury if it is skillfully
mixed with the better quality, al
though there is risk in this sort of
feeding. The horse on the other hand
does not seem to be able to take his
share of damaged feed, and the feed
ing of it generally results in bad
stomach or bowel trouble. These Or
gans of the horse are much more SEN
sitive and delicate than generally sup
posed and great care should therefore
be used in feeding. Poor hay is an
other bad thing for horses, and 1t is
also poor policy to attempt to carry
a horse very far on hay. whether good
or poor. and water, feeding small
quantities of grain. Beyond all doubt
oats are the best of any grain for
horses, but 1t is quite as good policy
to furnish variety to the horses as to
the other stock on the farm, but max
ing sure that the animal has one feed
daily of firSt-clasS oats. and that oats
form one of the grains in one of the
mixtures of the day. Let all Of the
food be first-class. including the hay.

Outside of what is known as the

money in hog raising by putting ami
