All in the Point of View.

Col. Barnsdale, prominent citizen
of Pittsburg, was travelling through
Indian territory. While strolling
around Muskogee he met an old
colored woman who seemed to be an
interesting character and asked:
"Aunty, how many people are there
in this city," The negress consid-
cred gravely for a few moments and
then said: We'll, boss, l reckon
there's about $4,000, including the
white folks" Col. Barnsdale says he
thereupon saw first illustration of

How to Trim a Fern.

Boston ferns that have grown so
viding into smaller plants may have
cuttings taken away from the roots
without damage to the plant, if care
fully done. If transplanted to the
right soil and kept under proper con-
ditions the cutting should root well
and develop into healthy plant.
A fern does not need hot and inces-
SAINT sunshine. Two of the finest Bos-
ton ferns known to the writer spend
the entire winter IN windows where
scarcely a sunbeam falls, though there
Is plenty of light. A little sun, how
ever, does them no harm, and moist
atmosphere is ESSENTIAL.

China's Tea Trade Declining.

China's Tea Trade Declining.
Some interesting statistics have
been collected by Vice-Consul Arnold,
at Foo-Chow, concerning the great
decline in China's tea trade. From
1878, when tea was first introduced
into England, until 1887 China held ex-
clusively the tea trade of the world.
Then India began to enter the tea
market. The Chinese trade reached
high tide in 1886, with a total export
of 30,000000 pounds. In 1884 China
furnished about 70 per cent of the
worlds total, India and Ceylon IS per
cent and Japan and Formosa 10 per
cent. But in 1904, when the total con-
sumption had increased to 644 100000
pounds, China contributed only 80 per
cent, India and Ceylon 60 per cent,
Japan and Formosa 10 per cent. The
decline in China is ascribed to care
less methods of cultivation and pre-
paration of the leaf.

Raising Calves,

Our method of bringing up calves is
as follows: The calf is left with the
dam for three days. We believe that
there are elements in the mothers milk
at that time that are essential to the
calf. Furthermore, it is but natural
for the calf to remain with the COW
during this time, and it is nothing more
than right At the end of three days
the calf is taken away and taught to
drink milk. We give it nine quarts of
milk per day for about a month, when
we add little oil meal mush and skim
milk from the separator. This is mix
ed with the whole milk and gradually
increased until the calf is six weeks
old, at which time the whole milk is
taken away. The calves are then Civ
en- ground oats and bran and little
clover hay, which is increased as they
develop.-Bolt & Huey, Schuyler Coun-

DERRICK FOR RAISING HOGS.

wisest. Many farmers dread butcher
ing time because Of the hard lifting
and long hours of labor. Most of this
is unnecessary and due to lack of prep
aration and inconvenience.
A derrick for raising the hogs and
hanging the pork and butchering out
tit are readily put together by any one
who is handy with tools and will get a
few bolts and irons at the blacksmith
shop. Even beef may be hung up by
the arrangement shown. This derrick
is made Of three timbers, each thirteen
feet long. The roller for the rope may
be made of round stick four inches in
diameter. 1t is worked smaller where
1t is clamped to the derrick. An iron
rod passed loosely through augur holes
in the derrick can be used as brake
to hold the cranks when the rope is
wound up enough.
The illustrations, taken from the
American Agriculturist, tell their own
story. The scalding tub, table and
hangers may be set near the derrick.

plenty good enough for farm use. The
teeth are from old chisels or files bent
and sharpened by the blacksmith and
clamped with bolts between two thir-
ty inch 2 by inch beams. The gauge
piece is another thirty inch beam by
inches and shod with piece of three
eighths by two and half inch iron of
the same length. This iron runs in
the previous groove and regulates the
width of the cut and size Of the cakes.
The gauge piece is connected with the
other part by iron braces twenty inches
long and an iron crosspiece about twen-
ty-fve inches long, says writer in
American Cultivator. The handles of
the plow are from an old land plow.

FARROWING in
COLD WEATHER

The pig born the last of March or
In April is behind the money, to use a
race track expression. True, he may
be fed on until after the holidays, and
that will be the more profitable for the
man who wants to grow pork largely
on forage. Most men feed for the
earlier market, however, and would
have their pigs farrowed in February
instead of April if they thought they
could save them. l want to give a
very simple method of doing so, writes
n. P. Miller of Ohio in American Agri-
culturist. 1t presupposes good farrow-
ing quarters, not expensive, but place
that can be kept dry from above and
from below and where an attendant
can get to and about the SOW. 1t also
presupposes a SOW that you can safely
approach when she is farrowing. Then
you must know when she is going to
farrow and be there.
All that is then needed to save pigs
in the coldest weather is a half barrel
or tub, a jug of hot water, a blanket
and man. Put the tub near the SOW,
the jug of hot water in it, cover with
the blanket to retain the heat and then
put each pig in the tub as quickly as
born. After the SOW is through farrow-
ing and quiet lift the pigs out and see
that each finds a teat. When they are
through nursing put all back into the
tub. Return to the mother every two
hours and replace in the tub for the
first day. If the SOW has been properly
fed before narrowing and properly not
fed for twenty-four hours afterward
you can pretty nearly count the hogs
you will have to market in the fall.
Should the weather remain very cold
the second and third weeks of their
lives they will need to be forced to ex-
ercise else they will die of suffocation.
Do this by lifting them out of their bed
into another stall or put them into
box and let them struggle to get back
to their bed.
See that the mother is free from lice
before narrowing. Keep the bed free
from moisture and dust and get the
suns rays directly into the bed. Then
change the bedding frequently, and
you have supplied the appointments of
a pig paradise.

Care of Poultry.

The hens do not suffer so much for
green food when the weather is nice
and there is no snow on the ground.
They eat the grass and seem to relish
it though it is dead and brown. At
this season we give the specked ap-
Piles at sorting time to the hens.
We find that place for hens to
scratch pays for itself in one winter
in the fowls health and in eggs. 1t
won't do to allow the hens to huddle
in one corner half dead if it's healthy
fowls and eggs we're after. The litter
that accumulates where the hay is
thrown on the barn floor makes the
best kind Of scratching material. The
hens search out the fine seeds and eat
every clover leaf.
We are learning the value Of bran
as hen food. In their soft food for
breakfast we use bran as a basis. It
gives bulk. 1t is one of the desirable
feeds that are not too expensive with
eggs at present prices. An experienced
poultry breeder says bran is a good
regulator Of the system, and know,
If other conditions are right, the feed
ing of bran largely will increase the
egg yield.-H. NJ. W. in Ohio Farmer.

BREAKING THE COLT.
Teaching Him to Take the Bit and
Wear the Harness.

reaching Him to Take the Bit and
Wear the Harness.
Biting and harnessing should not be
done by driving, or riding, but by put
ting light bride with an ordinary
snatfie bit on the colt and leaving it on
for few hours each day until he
ceases to fight the bit,'' after which
gentle pressure by the use of the check
rein attached to a sureingle should be
given and the pressure gradually in
creased by shortening the check until
we get him to hold his head in about
the position we want. This teaches
same time to yield to pressure upon
the bit. His mouth becomes accustom-
ed to it, and we avoid the sore mouths
so often seen in colts when they are
driven or ridden without preliminary
fitting.
Then harness should be put on and
the colt allowed to run in a large box
stall or paddock for a few hours each
day until he becomes accustomed to
having the harness put on, to wearing
it and having it removed without fear
or nervousness. He is then ready to
be driven, which may be done either
with a good hammered mate or singly.
I do not think it wise to drive two
colts together at first. In fact, 1 pre-
fer teaching a colt to go singly first,
and then we seldom have trouble when
we want him to go with a mate, but
many prefer driving him with a steady
but prompt old horse first. Whichever
we do, l think we should drive him a
few times with just the harness before
hitching to a rig.
1t is well to give him a few lessons
this way first. Teach him to stand, go
on, back, ETC., and allow him to see all
the sights that are liable to frighten
him. When he is hitched we should
see that both harness and rig are
strong. The idea that 'any old thing"
is good enough to hitch a colt to is en-
tirely wrong. The ''old thing may
break and the colt injure himself or
run away and thereby learn habits that
he is very slow to forget. Have things
so strong that they are not liable to
break, and be in position to conquer
him without violence or harshness if
he acts badly, as will sometimes occur
Notwithstanding all our trouble. If
driving singly it's wise to use kick
ing strap for the first few times

Alfalfa Experiments.

At the Utah experiment station al
falfa was cut at different stages Of
growth and analyzed. 1t was found
that when about six inches high the
protein was two-thirds as much as the
starchy and fatty materials, but when
the plant was in full bloom the pro-
tein was about one-third as much as
the starchy and fatty materials. AL
falfa, clover, vetches and peas are
very nutritious when they are mature
or nearly so, but when they are young
and tender they do not contain enough
carbohydrates or starchy matter to
balance the protein (muscle makers).
