Stock your farm with the animals
you like best. You need not have all
registered stock. but get the best you
can procure. Don't raise nor keep
scrub stock; they never will make you
any profit. If you don't admire a
horse, it probably will not pay you to
keep two or three brood mares. If you
not pay you to keep dairy herd. other
than to supply your own use. If you
don't admire sheep. If you don't find
them attractive. then don't grow them,
for they will very likely never do any
good for you. If you are not and can
not be interested in any of the above
mentioned animals, then select some
thing you are interested in. something
that you do admire. For one must
have a love for his line of work to
make it most profitable. Men in every
part of the country are making money
from all kinds of live stock, some from
one kind. others from another kind.
Often the man who keeps nine or ten
devotes all his attention to hogs and
none to cows, very foolish. But it all
depends upon the man and surround
ing conditions and man ought to
follow his own natural abilities and his
own preferences. No matter what kind
of stock you select you are doing it
for a special purpose; you have a def
mite end in view. No matter what you
want to accomplish, whether to pro-
mote growth, develop bone and muscle,
or spirit and nerve, to produce fat or
milk or wool, the animal must be the
one you admire and love to care for the
most, to make your selection and pro-
fession profitable one.-E. L. Morris,
In the Epitomist.

BRAIN GYMNASTICS.

! AS a cure for sleeplessness, med
ical journal suggests that the suf-
ferer should simply Gear his or her
mind of everything, and then per
form q series of gymnastic exercises
which, so it is alleged, never fail to
produce the desired effect Now, if
one could stop thinking there would
be little difficulty about getting TO
sleep, and to suggest emptying the
mind as a cure for insomnia is very
much like telling person with a
cold not to sneeze. or cough, or talk
huskily. 1t is precisely because one
thinks that one lies awake, and be-
cause one Is so very wide awake
that one thinks so hard. AS TO per-
forming gymnastic exercises in the
dead vast and middle of the night,
there are not a few of us who would
infinitely prefer insomnia to the rem

A turnstie is often a very useful
part of fence upon many farms. es-
pecially where it is desired to keep
the cattle or horses in their place and
at the same time allow easy access
to the field for those who desire to
enter it often in pursuance of their
duties. The Prairie Farmer has a
most excellent suggestion along this
line which is as follows:
If the stock kept in the barnyard is
not of small stature like the pig and
sheep, the turnstile shown in the illus
tration is one of the best arrangements
to place at the entrance. Horses and
cows cannot get through the passage
thus protected and it enables anyone
to enter the barnyard without setting
down anything they may be carrying.
The turnstile is easily constructed, the
main thing being to have the post
strong and set firmly in the ground.
In the plan here illustrated the cross
pieces are set on an iron pin so that
they readily revolve. The turnstile

Young alfalfa plants are among the
weakest grown in the United States.
They grow slowly, are weak feeders
and are easily choked or killed by
weeds and by unfavorable conditions
of soil, weather or treatment. Mature
alfalfa is most vigorous plant; it
grows down deeply in the soil, is Wig
Orous feeder, and lives and yields well
under many unfavorable conditions.
For this reason it will pay well to OBJ
serve every requirement in planting
the seed which experienced growers
have ascertained to be of value. Gen.
orally speaking, the conditions de-
manded by alfalfa are seed or soil
inoculation, abundant moisture, per.
feet seed bed, perfect soil at time Of
seeding, good drainage, few weeds
and the very best seed obtainable.
While alfalfa seems to require much
moisture the plant has a way of help
ing itself to the required water in Sec
tions not regarded as being we'll wa
tered. The plants reach down with
roots sometimes twenty feet long after
the moisture which usually exists far
below the surface. This habit of ad-
justing itself to its surroundings con-
sttutes it the most adaptable plant
grown in this country to-day.-C. NJ

The Ideal Dairy Cow.

Whether she be Holstein, Jersey
or whatever she may be, you will find
the typical dairy COW with bony head
and strong jaw, long between the eyes
and nose with broad .muzzle. She
should have bright protrudlng eye
which means strong nerve force and
action later on. She should have a
thin neck and retreating brisket. The
lines above and below must not be
straight, or she will steal from you.
She should be slightly depressed be-
hind the shoulders with sharp chine
not too straight backbone. She must
have large organs of reproduction and
large heart girth, wide between fore
legs and sharp on shoulders which
gives large heart action and strong
arterial circulation. And last, but by
no means least. she must have a good
udder, for One-half the value of the
COW Is in her udder which should be
long from front to rear.

comparatively of modern origin. the
Roman brides wore yellow, and In
most Eastern countries pink Is the
bridal color. During the Middle Ages
and in the Renaissance period brides
wore crimson to the exclusion or all
other colors. Most of the Plantaganet
and Tudor queens were married In that
vivid hue, which Is still popular In
parts of Brittany. where the bride is
usually dressed in crimson brocade..
1t was Mary Stuartwho first changed
the color of the bridal garments. AT
her marriage with Francis |. Of France,
in 1858, which took place not before the
altar. but before the great doors or
Notre Dame, she was gowned in white
brocade. with train Of pale blue Per-
sian velvet six yards in length.
This innovation caused a great stir
in the fashionable world of that time
1t was not, however, until quite the
end of the seventeenth century that
pure white-the color worn by royal
widows-became popular for bridal
garments.

have access to plenty of water. Prior
to their birth, the sow should have
the seclusion of quarters where she
will be away from all exciting influ-
ences. There, given plenty of straw,
she will need no further assistance in
preparing her bed. Hence. as far as
possible, she should be left alone and
after the pigs come she should not
be molested for twenty four hours. At
ter that feed her lightly for the first
week, for the most part on green
food and slops. BY using succulent
food including some oil meal, 1t is sell
dom that any medicine is required.
In summer the quantity of succulent
food, of course, is unlimited, but this
may be substituted very well in winter
with roots. Indeed, it is rare that
sows fed literally on these will fail
to farrow successfully and afford all
the nourishment that the young pigs
need. The object, bear in mind, is to
keep them in good growing condition,
but not too fat If continuous
growth can be maintained with pork
er until maturity, it is then possible
to prepare it for market in short order.

The first point to be observed Is to
keep the leather soft and pliable; this
can be done only by keeping it well
charged with oil and grease. The
straps should be washed and oiled
whenever they have been moistened by
sweat or soiled by mud. To do this,
the straps should all be detached and
washed with warm soap suds; then
coated with Il mixture of neats-foot oil
and tallow and allowed TO remain un-
disturbed until the water has dried out,
after which they should be rubbed
with wOolen cloth. In hanging a
harness care should be taken to allow
all straps to hang their full length.
Light is essential in the care of leather
When the harness closet is dark the
