Selection of Animals.

There are several factors to be con sidered in determining what kind of animals-horses, cattle, sheep or swine-to raise, what type to select and what breed to choose. Unless breeding animals for our own use, necessarily one of the important fac. tors will be that of market demand. A second factor concerns the condi- tions on the farm at the present. or possible changes. with reference to suitable buildings. the character of crops, the convenience to market. help, etc. Again, third factor may be the fancy of the farmer in being partial to some breeds more than to others. and he is likely to make greater success in the raising of those he favors.

RAISING MORE FARM ANIMALS
Other People Are Making Money by Selling to Us, and Why Not Pro
 duee More of Them OurseIVes7
Rr pR. e. A. RoRERrs.l

Most farmers could materially profit by breeding and raising more animals. Profitable in two ways: First. directly from the use or sale of such animals; and second, by main taining and increasing the productiv- ity of our soils. The increase in num- Der of animals upon our farms should be made gradually, that we may ac- commodate ourselves and conditions to care for more. Such an increase would likely be made if we did more breeding and less buying of animals Other people are making money in raising animals to sell us, and why not produce more of them ourselves? :?
 For most of us the profit will not be ir raising of pure-bred live stock nor in the raising of scrubs, but will lie in the grading up of our animals This consists in the using of pure bred sire upon native scrub females The offspring of such mating would be one-half blood of the breed of the sire. The next mating would then be between the female offspring of the first mating and that of a sire of the same breed as used before. This would yield offspring of three-quar- ters blood. Continuing this process till the fifth generation. the offspring would contain thirty-one forty-sec- onds of pure blood. Animals so bred for several generations are called high grades, and while they are usually just as good individuals as if pure bred, the males should not be used for breeding purposes.
 The reason for not using a grade. even high grade, sire lies in the fact that the longer a strain of anil mals has been bred for definite char acteristics the more certainty of ami mals of that strain transmitting, by laws of inheritance, those character istics. On the other hand, the short CT the time of fixing those character istics, as in grades. the less likelihood of transmitting them.

The pain of scratches and picks comes readily to one imagination as he thinks of pruning the raspberry bushes or other bush fruits, especially where he has not had good tools for performing the job, says the Michigan Farmer. The work Is so miserable that it is generally left undone. The illustrated pruning hook will help to overcome many of the undesirable fea- lures connected with cleaning out of the hills on these fruits. The hook is used for cutting those canes that can be hooked, and for this purpose the inner edge of the hook Is made sharp, while the spud is for ampu- tating such canes as happen to stand
 close to another that is to be left or is otherwise situated that the hook can not be used. The spud cuts the cane nearer the ground than can be done with the hook. Both are, however, very necessary for complete imple- ment Besides its use in cutting, the hook is convenient in pulling the pruned canes from among the stand ing ones into the row where they can be gathered and taken from the plan

v6e Pickpocket - By = HOMER GRAYDoN

Miss Clara Williams, daughter of Colonel Williams, of Brooklyn, had been visiting relatives in the western part of the state, and of her home-com- ing her father wrote:
 T have got to be in Buffalo on the tenth to see a man. The train arrives at three. You can leave Blankville so az to arrive there at 2:30. Take a seat in the ladies waiting room and l will look there for you. There isn't one chance in a thousand of anything going wrong, but if anything should, then appeal to the police as have al ways told you to-"
 About the first thing to attract the young lady's attention, after being put on the train by her relatives, was a young man. He had the chair next to her in the chair car, and he coulV not very well help but attract her atten- ton. He had to remove his grip and hat and cane from her chair, before she could occupy it, and he had to beg her pardon for not knowing that she was to take the train at that particu- lar station and occupy that particular chair, and when she dropped her purse in settling herself, he had to pick it up and hand 1t to her with something like another apology. He was good-looking and of pleasing ad- dress, but when once settled the girl turned her shoulder to him. In her scrapbook at home she had a list of over 100 divorce cases that had come about between couples that had first met on railroad trains and fallen in love while speeding along at 50 miles an hour, and she didn't propose that her name should be added to the list.
 The young man was most circum- spect He had a daily paper contain ing the account of scandal in high fife and three murders, but he did not

CHEAP POULTRY FOUND DEAR
Money and Brains Cannot Be Spared if Any Flock Is to Improve With
 Each Succeeding Year.

Buyers should remember that good stock is dear in the long run. There Is no breeder who has not thought upon the great increase in the price of grain and the cost of producing fowls ready for the shipping crate. One breeder who sends out hundreds of birds each year has found that 1t costs him about $3 head to place his birds In the shipping coops. This included all expenses except advertis- ing and correspondence. The expense of showing, printed matter, advertis- ing. correspondence and feeding. to- gether with housing and cooping for shipment, will make lot of breeders think if they knew exactly what the figures they were coping with. Few breeders know to a cent what every bird sold cost them to sell. Only those who keep an accurate account of their receipts and expenditures know for what prices they can really afford to sell
 In this day 1t costs good money to keep up a strain or flock to a high standard of excellence. Money and brains cannot be spared if any flock is to grow better each season. Nine times in ten the buyer who asks for $2 bird does not know what good birds are commanding, and expects as much for his money as the man who gives the breeder a carte blanche order for what he wants and then sends the money to pay for 1t. Utility stock once sold for $1 head, but this was when fed was cheap and lumber cheaper than 1t is now. Prices today are higher for good stock because good stock is worth 1t. The beginner should remember that the demand for good birds far exceeds the supply, and if the prices quoted to buyers are not accepted because they think the figures too high, they should re- member before finally refusing to pay what is reasonable that some one else will get the birds.

with the stronger tones, as there is a lack of harmony between them
 Asters can be planted in rows of white and lavender, with very pleas ing results, provided the same kind is used 5in each row.
 Ribbon beds would become monot- onously tiresome if we were to con fine ourselves to them, therefore 1t Is advisable to have something else for a change.
 Next to them the circular bed is easiest to make. I would not advise too many colors.
 Have the center of one color, say lavender, if asters are used, then a row of pale pink, with white in the outside row.
 This arrangement of colors can be varied to suit individual taste. If sweet-alyssum or white candytuft Is used as an edging, the effect is heightened, as these plants bring a mass of foliage and bloom down to the ground, and hide the tall stalks of the asters.

Personally I am not much of an admirer of carpet or ribbon bedding or the designs" which the enthusi- astic amateur gardener frequently at tempts, but Is pretty sure to abandon later in the season, because he discov- CTS that designs work out unsatis- factorily in annuals.
 The fact is, carpet bedding plants are only effective when certain kinds of foliage plants are used because they can be kept within their proper limits by shearing and pruning, while the annuals have too much sprawl" to be tractable and very few kinds give a sufficient mass of bloom to produce the desired effect
 We are likely to think that because a plant has yellow, red or blue flow CTS, that 1t will prove effective wher- ever these colors are desired, but we lose sight of the fact that the flow CTS will be so few in number and so far apart that there is seldom any solid color effect such as is necessary in properly working out patterns. This being the case, only the sim pier designs should be attempted with annuals, and only such effects aimed at. as can be produced by contrast in which harmony plays an important part
 Ribbon beds are easiest of all to make. Very pleasing ones can be made with pink. pale yellow, and white phlox, planted in rows. If darker colors are preferred, the scar let and crimson can be used, always combining them with white to give the necessary contrast and relief.
 Do not use the soft, delicate colors

tation. The implement is made of the handle of a short-handled fork and two old files. The files are forged to make the hook and spud and riv- eted together as shown in the illus tration. The end opposite the spud is shaped to it into the handle where 1t is firmly secured in order to stand the strain necessary in the work to be done. Armed with such tool and a good pair of gloves one can go about the canes, cut out the undesir- able ones and get them out of the way without suffering the hardships encountered when endeavoring to do the work with jack knife. The next rainy day go to your own forge, every farmer should have one, or if not pro vided, to your blacksmith and have a hook made. Then, when the rainy day is over and you can get into the berry patch, see how well the hook does the dreaded job.

Budn-Pesth.-A remarkable story of the manufacture of spurious money comes from the li+tle village of Oros- zIama. The educational authorities had been advised that the village school house needed repairing. and one day a commission arrived unexpect- edly to examine the building.
 During the course of the inspection in one of the classrooms a strange looking apparatus was found, which proved to be a press for the manu- facture of bank notes. Further searches revealed a small closet which had been turned into reguls ! mint, and there were bagfuls of ready-made silver and copper coins.

Amount of Grain for c.ttI..

The amount of grain that should be given to cattle that are being finished on the grass should be gauged by the prospective time for selling and by the condition of the grass. When the animals are to be sold early, as in June or July, more grain or meal should be fed than if marketed later, as in August and September. When the grass is really at its best, which usually is in the advanced weeks of June, grain will not add much to the grains, but 1t may. and doubtless does, lead to the consumption of less pasture.
