The Difference in Breeding.

An old breeder of Shorthorn cat
tie says that his high grade Shorthorn
calves at weaving time will sell for
as much as common breed steers when
year old. That is pretty good test
of breeding when it comes down to
actual dollars. The calf of high grade
just weaned at few weeks old has
cost very little to grow it, but the
yearling common steer has cost over
$25 to carry him TO one year old. Our
friend says that he is careful to keep
pure bred bull at the head of his
herd of grade cows, and in this way
always manages to turn off some high
grade steers for beef at 20 to "a
months old that brings him $50 to
$95 per head, and of course he says
1t is all due to good breeding and good
feeding.
Instances of this kind illustrate
the value of good blood at the head of
the beef herd better than anything
else can. Even with fairly good COM
mon COWS. with we'll bred bull, the
herd can soon be 50 improved as to
greatly increase its product.-Indiana

Care of Poultry.

II your poultry house is tight and
dry, the hens will not have roup or
rafting in the throat. A little cold
is not nearly so harmful as drafts or
dampness.
How about installing an incubator
for Matching in the spring? No farm
er who started with a good machine
ever regretted the step. Think it
over. Well give you some valuable
pointers on the subject in the next
issue or two.
Then there is another matter that
is becoming of paramount Importance
at the present time. We refer to the
matter of getting eggs in winter.
Watch for some interesting informa-
tion along this line next month. But
here is something for you to think
over in the meantime The first es-
sential in the production of eggs is the
health of the hens. You can never
have flock of record-breaking egg
producers If any of them are lacking
in vigor or stamina.
Hens eggs are preferable to pullet's
eggs for Matching purposes, for as
rule the eggs from hens are larger and
contain stronger germs which give
more vigorous chicks. On the other
hand, pullets are sure to produce the
larger number of eggs.
The man who sticks to one breed
from year to year, through all its ups
and downs, is certain in the long run
to enjoy the fruits of his constancy.
A good poultryman can make a good
success with any breed.
The comb of a fowl occupies the
same position as an indicator Of the
health as does the tongue Of person.
A healthy comb is deep red; any
other color means that something is
wrong.
Give your fowls all they can 90 dur
ing the day, but never all they can eat.
In the morning give them justenough
to free them from the extreme pangs
of hunger and make them work for all
they get. Leave the filing of their
crops till night This will keep them
vigorous and healthy and prevent them
from getting into the bad habit Of in
activity.-Epitomist

Notes From the Farm.

Never shout at young horse while
training him.
Good feeding consists in giving as
much as the hog will eat.
Give the hogs plenty of charcoal and
ashes. Salt once week.
Keep plenty of clean water within
reach of your hogs at all times.
Much sickness among hogs is due
to uncertain quarters, wet pens and
exposure.
In cattle feeding, COW pea and alfal-
ia hay make up q good substitute for
wheat bran.
Watch your horses eyes. Many a
horse could be saved from blindness If
commonsense care were given in time.
Horses which are judiciously fed
and we'll groomed will stand double
the amount of hard work they would
under careless care.
The brood mare should have few
hours exercise in the yard or on the
read every day. 1t does not pay to
keep her confined.
One hundred pounds of wheat bran
contains 1872 pounds of digestive pro
teln, 39.2 pounds of digestible carbohy-
drates and 2.7 pounds either extract
or fat.
Pigs suffering from scours may be
helped and many times cured by feed
ing them milk that has been boiled
and to which pint of scorched -four
has been added for each gallon.
All kinds of growing stock should
have plenty of exercise. Animal growth
cannot be made successfully unless
every muscle has had an opportunity
to be brought into use.

Cultivation Makes Fruit.

We must put brain work into fruit
growing to succeed. | believe over
half the fruit trees set during the
past fifteen years have never paid the
first cost of the tree. The trees, as
rule, are all right. but the fault is
with US. We are allowing them to
starve to death. Nothing on our farms
will show good care quicker or make
larger return than fruit tree. This
is the line of argument advanced by
v. P. DeCoster. of Oxford county Me-,
in an address before the Maine Pomo-
logical society.
Continuing, he said: 81 believe
we are making a mistake in allowing
our trees to bear too heavily. | think
a tree properly dressed, pruned and
thinned will bear every year. When
it is allowed to overbear it brings such
a strain upon it that it takes years for
1t to recuperate. All small and wormy
fruit should be picked of before it
ripens. | have visited many of the

Bran Mash for Horses.

This is a common feed for horses
by all good horsemen, but all do not
take the pains to make the mash prop
erly. An old horse feeder says that to
make good bran mash, first wash out
bucket with boiling water then pour
In the quantity of water required, say
three pints, and stir in three pounds
of bran. Cover up and leave it for
couple of hours or more il not required
for immediate use mash takes
hours to get cold and is often
given to a sick horse too hot and re-
fused when it would have been taken
If properly prepared and given warm
instead of scalding hot. The addition
of a tablespoonful of salt in the ordin-
airy mash Of a Saturday night can be
recommended to keep down parasites
and promote digestion, but should not
be part of sick horses diet unless
specially ordered. a mixture of lin
seed and bran is often prescribed, both
as food and q poulice. To one part
of linseed, two OF bran Is a desirable
proportion for both purposes. To get
all the feeding value out OF linseed,
several hours should be allowed for
cooking, not mere inlusing, as with
bran mash. but gently simmertng on
the side of the stove The vessels
should be filled and towards the end
the lid may be taken OF and evapora-
tion permitted while cooking.-Ind.ana

ers sown or spread upon the grass
ground will cause the grass to become
root-bound and hard and you do not
get the results sought.
Cultivation aids the chemicals so
that better results appear than when
omitted. Fine cultivation with the ap-
plicatlon Of liberal fertilizer has been
employed to the improvement of both
trees and fruit. Therefore, the result
of my observation Is, that the orchard
lists who are getting the best results
are those who are fertilizing and cul-
tivating their orchards. Some are do
ing it in one way and some in another.
Apples should be thinned usually early
in July All varieties do not need 1t.
Rhode Island Greening and Spy are in
this class. Baldwins should be
thinned."

Slaughter of the Birds.

1t is said that Paris milliners alone
consume every year about 10000 sea-
gulls. One single dealer sold during
the last IL months 1900 humming
birds and 100000 pairs of wings of ev-
cry description.
A writer in the Gentlewoman calqu
lates that more than three hundr
million of birds are sacrificed to "
vanity of women in the so-called Nv
ilized countries and the, result of Ehe
slaughter is already making itself telt.
Some countries are now almost quite
depopulated of their winged inhab.-
tants.
The Labrador duck is almost ex-
tinct. So is the pigeon of Saint Maur-
ice, the Auckland rail, the bullfnch Of
the Azores, the white headed titmouse
and many others.

Why We Should Cultivate.

At farmers institute, lately held,
the writer heard a city man remark
to a farmer that if there were no
weeds all the farmer need to do would
be to SOW his crop and then reap, and
to my surprise the farmer seemed to
sanction almost every word of the re-
mark, as he publicly gave vent to his
feelings in regard to originating some
thing that would annihilate the weeds.
OF course this man was no criterion
to go by, but there are hundreds and
thousands just like him. Cultlvating is
done because of several reasons and
the killing of the weeds is but one of
the many reasons. Cultivated plants
will grow alongside of weeds, but, of
course, will not do well; but without
cultivation all useful plants will fail
to grow, and this one fact assures us
that it will foreYer be impossible for
the farmer to grow that which he has
sown without goodly amount of hoe
ing or cultiYating or something that
will take their place The sooner the
"tillage is manure" theory takes hold
of our farmers the better, for cultiya-
ton unlocks fertility and plants can.

Grade Market Poultry.

Grade poultry before marketing. II
you have lot of fat hens, few old
hens, persistent brooders, and some
cocks to dispose of, grade them ac-
cording to size and quality. Good
hens in the same coop with old birds
and broodies will not raise their quail
old birds ty, but they will be dragged
down to the level of the poorest bird,

ance of the entire coop. There is no
