Inc ktODDef CO"s
Two cows cost $40 each a year for
keep. One Of them yields 1900 quarts
Of milk a year, that bring $50. The
other yields 1,20c quarts, that bring
$26 The latter loses about $14 and
reduces the gain on the former from
$40 to $50. Why do you keep that 1900
quart COW? You would be better of with
the one that clears $40, for you would
have only half the Investment, half the
work and half the feeding, and you
would gain $14 each year.
There would be no surplus butter on
the market for years to come and
prices would rule strong II all the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to an understanding Of
the great practical Importance Of weed
ing out the Improbable cows from their
herds. Many a man would make fair
profit, that now faces constant loss, II
he would keep only such cows as pay
a profit on their keep.

Weight is the main object Of the
farmer In fattening stock for market,
and this weight 10 easiest obtained by
feeding corn in order to produce fat.
Farmers have long been taught by ex-
perience that fat is a desirable quality,
and that 1t adds to the attractiveness
of a carcass on the stall. 1t has been
demonstrated 1t the experiment sta
lions, however, that the weight can be
secured at less cost, with greater pro-
portion of lean interpreted with the
fat by feeding a heterogeneous ration,
which means that, In addition to a lib
eral supply Of corn. an animal should
receive a variety OF. food that is not SO
rich ineoil, starch and sugar as is corn.
This fact Is worthy Of consideration.
Heavy Horses.
The weight Of a horse Is an import
ant item in estimating his value for
draft purposes, for the fine-boned horse,
with well-developed muscles, may do as
much work as the heavy-boned one for
a short time. and is even better for road
purpose. But in blowing. or other
heavy, steady drawing the light horse
is less useful. Then, in price, the
weight is an important item. II a good
horse weighs over 1000 pounds he may
possibly sell for as much as 81 per
pound. and from 1900 to 1000 pounds
for less. the price rapidly declining
1900 to 1,500 pound horses selling at
from 10 to 30 cents per pound. Though
1t Is considerably more than any other
grade Of stock on the farm will bring
e the horses are well bred.

A Splendid wheat Crop.

Bpleno10 "neot CROP
The annual crop and business report
Of the Commercial National Bank Of
Chicago, covering the Mississippi VAL
ley, and q few of the more Important
States Of the Pacific coast, says, In
part:
THE wheat crop Of 1905 will be
among the largest and best ever pro-
duced. The yield not only will be
great, but the weight and quality will
be far beyond the ordinary. In these
respects 1t may be considered nearly
perfect. The period Of uncertainty Is
closing rapidly and the crop may now
be called practically out Of danger.
The yield Of soft winter wheat Is large,
quality the finest and movement free.
Inasmuch as this movement has begun
early and all grains are now nearly or
quite on an export basis with the ten
dency Of prices dowuward). a large ex-
port business may be expected"

THE MAN HEARST.

No agreeable topic is Mr..
Hearst, and yet between now
and the 9th Of November he is
a subject on which constant
thinking must be done. Not at
all slight is his chance Of achiev-
ing the Governorship, which, if
hard times should come, would
make him a serious Candidate
for the presidency. However
far his money, determination,
and ability carry him, he can
not much impair this country.
If our self-governmentis worth
the name, we could endure the
triumph Of a self-seeking agita-
tor OF two with little loss.
Alarm is needless. 1t is a cause
for regret, however, that the
leader Of the extremists should
be a man who will play any
card to strengthen his personal
success. "You furnish the pic
lures" he cabled to Frederic
Remington in 1898, and iii
furnish the war; There is the
man in a nutshell. He would
"furnish".a war, or anything
else, without a moments hest
|tation that advanced his climb
to power. AS governor Of New
York he could remove mayors,
district attorneys, sheritfs, and
police commissioners all over
the state, and appoint their
successors, besides making tenn
porary judicial appointments.
Liberal steps are bound to be
taken rapidly in this country.
