Land of Summer sOarders.

For a country with a population of only about BE millions. Switzerland imports very large quantity of live meat animals and packing house products. The total yearly value of these articles during 1902 1904 average S15.229.O00, by far the greater part of which was due to live animals and fresh or simply prepared meats. More than 93 per cent of these imported articles are brought from neighboring countries and 1 per cent from the United States. It is probable that this large importa- ton Is explained by the great numebr or foreigners who spend the summer Tn Switzerland. The actual number of tour ists visiting that country in 1901 IS ot- f1cially estimated at three hundred thous- and or four hundred thousand.

Ras Makonnen's Present.
From the London Graphic.

riplii AiIt 1TdpHlC.
 It appears that 1t is the custom in Abye- sinia when a man makes present, to suggest what he would like given him in return, which explains why Ras Max omen, in sending two fine zebras to the United States department of agriculture, wrote; 'I am sending the beasts as to- ken of esteem and good will toward the American people. I would suggest that the return present be in the form of a repeating rife or caison of the latest pattern" At the current prices for zebras Ras Makonnen cannot expect much in the way of artillery in return, but 1t will be interesting to see how the United States government handles the rather delicate situation which has arisen through the guileless Abyssians ignorance of western etiquette.

Apple Cure for Drunkards.

A Philadelphia daily C"Bulletin) quotes a physician as saying: 'I know a woman who cured drunken husband without his knowledge by keeping always plentiful supply of good apples on the dining table. The man ate these apples and finally stopped drinking altogether This cure is entirely within the reach of possibility. The same physician advises any one af- f11cted with the love of drink to "eat three apples a day, and the horrible crav- ing will gradually leave him. The cure will be greatly helped along by smoking as little as possible"
 This Is good doctrine. I hope all physi- clans will preach it. It is in line with my own observation. Just after eating a good apple, a cigar or pipe will not taste very good. I know, for l have once been a smoker myself. And when you get all the good fruit that you want especially some of a more acid character, such as apples, entrants, lemons. oranges, grape fruit peaches and plums, there will be little craving left for strong drink. Many of our drunkards are made In the kitchen where an excess of greasy food is pre- pared. Let the cure come through the food also, by adding a free supply of acid fruits to the daily bilI of fare.

Washinn Cans.

Some of the so-called washing powders are very objectionable in washing milk cans, as grease of some kind Is used prin- cipally in their makeup. When such pow ders are used coating of thick grease will be formed around the edges of the sink or pan containing the wash water. All such compounds should be discarded. Powders can be procured that are guar anteed to contain no grease, and they are usually excellent cleaners, If these are not obtainable. the best thing to use is ordinary commercial sal soda and a little borax, which are cheap and effective.

HOGS OR SHEEP.

With the exception of poultry raising which belongs to a class peculiar to It. self, the growers of hogs and sheep re- quire, to use a slang phrase, less money to get into the game than any other species of live stock.
 In considerating the relative profits in these two industries, preference depends largely upon the farm and the farmer but the greater stress should be given to the former as however able and adroit the latter may be, it will be difficult for him to force profit under unfavorable or adverse natural conditions-that is to say those that are unavoidable.
 Conditions, being approximately even the farmer may exercise his preference; otherwise he should curb his inclinations and bend himself to meet the better con ditions.
 Environment like diversiflcation, is a long word having broad significance, and embraces many factors in farming. It may make or mar success. If unfriendly, 1t had better be avoided as bending it to fit ones purpose may entail exertion and expense that eats Into the excheauer.
 The size of the farm must be considered. If the holding is large, there will be ample room for the sheep; if 1t is becoming un- fertile the flock will assist in restoring fertility, whereby an unprofitable field may be converted into one that will bring a fair return The prime cost in keeping sheep is the fencing, but as it lasts for years the annual expense Is not so great.s And if the material Is woven wire the pasture may be changed at nominal cost.
 On the contrary, farm cannot be too small to grow hogs sufficient to provide meat for itself village home, with ground sufficient for a good garden, can sustain a few shoats, especially if a COW is kept. at a very small expense for pur- chased feed.
 This subject is one of no small moment to the cotton grower. If not engaged in one or both of these industries, 1t be- hooves him to give this subject careful consideration with the view of ascertain ing if either would be profitable to him.

Good Fruit Pays.

From time to time the wall goes up that fruit-growing does not need pay, that 1t is overdone, that the market is glutted and in consequence. the fruit has to be taken to the tip If one has sufficient curiosity to take a run down to the market sin order to probe deeped into this matter, he will see so much inferior fruit being offered for sale for anything 1t will bring, that he Is struck dumb with wonder as to how the producer of fruit of such inferior quality can make a living out of 1t, and that if they cannot produce anything better, the wonder is that they had not given up fruit grow ing long before.

AROUND THE FARM.

T. Greiner in the Farm and Preside.
 The low-headed tree is the tree of the future. There can hardly be any doubt about 1t. MT. Hale estimates that 1t cost him 50 to 80 per cent less to harvest his peaches while the men pick them while standing on the ground than where they have to pick with large ladders. In the new orchards of our most progressive growers even apple trees are headed as low as fifteen to eighteen inches from the ground

Ducks Are Hardy Stock.

Ducks are easily bred easily rearer and never suffer from diseases of any sort if not neglected Fowls will fall victims to disease from heredity sometimes, no mat ter what attention Is given them. and although their surroundings are all that could be desired; but ducks. never. If ducks die from any complaint, young or old, there Is a screw loose somewhere, which If experience can tighten, the nor tality will cease. Tainted ground Is the harbinger of enteretis and cholera, and many an epidemic is brought on through 1t, when a breeder loses all, or nearly all of his stock quite suddenly, and he is quite Ignorant of the cause.

From the American Cutivator
 A pronounced and deep yellow color or the skin of the ears and at the bare parts, covered by the tail. Is usually con- sidered to be an indication that the COW in question yields a rich milk and this opinion is certainly based upon practl- cal observations. Breeders of Channel Islands cattle lay a great deal of stress upon the skin of the parts named being colored a deep yellow, and attach much importance to it.

A Vermont farmer followed to Boston his cattle which had been condemned for tuberculosis At the abbatoir he found that four of them went to the fertilizer mill, while the remaining thirteen. being less seriously diseased. were classed as Jew beef" the people of that nationality being allowed to slaughter the cattle ac- cording to their own usage, intending to use the meat for food.

Crimson clover is found to be by MT. Hale, even as far north as Connecticut one of the best and most available or orchard cover crops. Where plowed un- der in early spring, with good and thor ough tillage following, 1t has given him better results in growing of trees and crop than where the blowing under was delayed until the blooming period Of the clover On my soil and under my con ditions, hairy vetch is far better, how ever.
