Agricultural and Live
Agriculture.
No farmer would think of paying
too high a rental for his neighbor's
field, but how many are tilling their
own land at a loss? Not one-half of
of them know just what they are
doing; they keep no accounts of re
ceipts and expenses. Every field
must bring a profit, or farming will
not pay.
If we were to spend half the mon
ey in making shelters for our
manure plies that we have been
wont to lay out for commercial fer
tilizers, we should not only be the
richer for the saving, but the gainer
in having that which is of more
value. Nor do we realize fully what
things come under the head of
manures; but, then, there is so much
we might do that we do not.
The wild cherry will grow more
rapidly than the walnut, and is
freer from insects and borers. It
ranks next to mahogany in value,
and is certainly in the class with
walnut. It grows to great size and
height, and the young trees are
transplanted without much dif
ficulty. This timber question snouia
be a study for every farmer.
When Uermany and tne rest oi
Europe eet to liking our Indian
corn as well as we do, we shall have
to raise more, and that is all there is
about it, for now we seem to be able
to take care of all the corn we pro
duce, sending but about five per
cent, of it abroad in anyone year.
Farmers are not grumbling at the
fact that the agricultural experi
ment stations are costing each one
of them about. 25 cents a year ; these
useful institutions are expending
more than a million dollars an
nually.
Tobacco exhausts the land rapidly,
but increased fertilization should
be equal to the emergency and keep
the land vigorous for a continuous
succession of productions.
There are not many farms on
which windmills will not repay
their cost, and those who have them
wonder how they ever got along
without them. They water the
stock, grind the feed, irrigate
garden, and can bo harnessed to
many minor uses.
Without forethought you can
the
for
not
expect the beBt results from your
season's work. Each field of the
farm has some especial use for
which it is best fitted the coming
year. Consider the soil, the past
rotation and the needs of the pro
posed crop, and then you can go
ahead with safety.
Truly no man is so carelpss in his
business as the farmer. Profits go
to the winds when the stock stands
for a day in the rough elements;
they go to the ditches as the rains
soak through the manure piles; they
go to the rubbish pile when the eun
and the rain makes havoc with the
neglected wagons and implements;
they go into the mud when cattle
tramp the uncut fodder under foot;
they verily "go to the devil" when
theloaflugor drinking farmer lets
his fences go to rack and the cor
ners grow up with briars. In ad
dition, "what he might have had"
is but los9 to a farmer or any man.
Though he be never the possessor of
them, he may truly lose knowledge,
contentment, earthly peace and
heaven.
We often yet see farmers who
have not left the old ruts. Their
unkept. unprofitable patches they
still call gardens; they run deep
furrows In the corn rows, and do
more harm than good; they raise no
berries ur other luxuries for the
table at home; their children go
about wholly unattractive, learning
little, caring nothing; they produce
little, have little, grumble always;
fortunately this condition of things
is giving way year by year.
Stock. .
Sheep will fill the bill better on
the rough, hilly farm, for it may not
be the place for the heavier breed or
cattle, the largest drart horses or
good hogs: but if you do not have
large beeves, fine dairy stock, heavy
draft horses and the best of hogs on
vour rich, level farm, you have no
"business with it.

with digestion, and consequently
with the laying on of fat: it makes
horses bad tempered and wear them
selves out, to say nothing of their
stable floors.
A man will look after good stock
more carefully than after a lot of
scrubs, every time. Good stock,
therefore, has an added value in
that it increases the owner's interest
in his possessions.
One may be busy and vet do noth
ing. It is certainlv waste time when
a farmer loses a half hour a dav
doing hi feeding because he lacks a
few conveniences.
A good cistern, made with a filter,
and large enough to hold all the
water from the barn, will furnish
drink of the right temperature for
the stock, both summer and winter.
Even if it does not make much of
a show, a strand "f barbed wire on
top or the fence will often restrain
breechy or unruly cattle and horses
oetter man an additional board or
rail.
If oats straw is clean and bright it
manes good food for horses and
saves just so much hay. It is not
much more work to run the bundles
of oats through the hay cutter than
to tnrasn tnem.
In feeding stock, remember that
every crop fed on the farm has two
values its feeding value and its
manural value. The man who gives
no need to the second will find in
time that he has been neglecting tne
more important of the two.
The grade animal is bound to
breed your herd down instead of un
He has but little power to transmit
his finer qualities to his progeny
from whatever thoroughbred an
cestor he may have come. The
animal he begets will have his ap
pearance, style and qualities in
lesser degree than his own.
Keep a record of every animal
bred upon the farm. The date of
breeding being known, better at
tention is assured to the animal. If
you are grading up, the pedigree
becomes important with each pure
bred cross. This is a matter winch
does not exact much time nor
trouble, and is for this reason, per
haps, neglected.
Oil meal mixed with chopped hay
straw or rodder doubles Us value
It not only adds to its natura
properties, but. will also improve
the appetite, health and vigor of all
kinds of stock. It will show in
their appearance and in their move
ments. While the raising of stock will en
rich our 3oil and renew its produc
tiveness, it will market the farm
products better than to 8hip the
feed away.
To get manure we must have cat
tle; to raise cattle we must have
grass; to grow the grass we must
have manure. Agriculture is one
endless rotation.
Dairy.
If grain is fed to cows while on
pasture, let it be with the view of
making bone, muscle and strength.
8o far as its influence will be shown
upon milk and butter, it is very
doubtful if grain directly pays when
fed to milch cows which receive all
the fine grass they need. There is
no food which will take the place
of good, rich grass. The finest
grain mixture ever devised will not
answer so well.
The average farmer studies im
provement in all other lines before
he takes an interest in the business
of making butter; yet the dairy
brings a revenue which is always
cash, and almost continuous. Its
product has seldom to seek a buyer,
ana it exhibits a vitality in time of
depression greater than almost any
other product that the farmer sells.
There is no profit in unscientific
work in this progressive day. It
will be a safer plan to sell your cows
than to go ahead without a good
thermometer, a trustworthy tester,
or if vou are unwilling to school
your intelligence to the utmost
within your power. While your
pasture is good test your handsomest
cows, for they may not be paying
for their keeping. You may con
clude it wiser to let some one else
have them.
Four good Jerseys should bring
vou at least 2 pounds or butter a
week, worth, in most markets, 25
cents; and there will be market for
all your buttermilk. The skim milk
is worth cash to your poultry or
pigs. To kep these four cows a
week should cost $3.50. This leaves
a nice income for a skilled dairy
woman.
Poultry.
If you expect to preserve the
vigor of ynur fowls put new blood
into your flock every year.
i? nth is the bane of vour hennery.
Clean up the houses and yards fre
quently, and you will have but little
trouble from diseases.
Whether chicks are hatched un
der hens or in incubators, any dif-
feience which appear as they grow
up is due to feed and management.
it seems evident that many of the
diseases among fowls are due to the
lack of hard, sharp grit. When
they have bowel disorders change
the food for a few days, and change
the grit.
It is better to have several Bails
drawing than to depend upon one
for financial navigation. Though
we find our hens paying better than
our cows, it would he unwise to sell
our cows and put all our money in
hens.
There la no easy road to success
in anything. We cannot begin even
poultry keeping with the vague no
tion that it is an easy way to make a
living, and that the hens do all the
work. There will be a failure. To
keep fowls free from disease and
vermin needs constant attention,
and a good deal of very dirty and
very disagreeable manual labor.
Charcoal for the hens can be pre
pared at home, out of corn. The
drier the corn the better it will char.
Put the ears in a baking pan in the
oven and let them remain until they
are burnt black and crisp. The
fowls will eat it greedily, and should
have it at least once a week. It I
especially good for overfed hens and
for chicks which have any tendency
to bowel troubles. Of course, for the
little ones it should be broken up be
fore feeding. Charcoal is one of the
"little essential"," and must not be
forgotten. We forget too many
things in raising poultry.
Horticulture.
Plants taken to the cellar should
have air, lest the foilage decay and
breed fungi on the ripened wood.
Cut off the dry leaves and any de
caying matter there may be about
them.
Four or five vigorous raspberry
canes in each hill are sufficient for
best results. Remove not only the
old canes, but the weak and unthrif
ty ones.
Try to have a perfect growth of
fruit rather than enormous crop;
then it is not at all unlikely that a
large crop will be obtained also
Thin too much rather than have
them too thick. To reach the high
est perfection they must not be over
crowded. If you have a bit of spare ground
plant a fruit tree there; after while
iw will produce something. Meantime
it is adding something to the value
of the farm.
From 25 to 50 large wagon loads of
manure to the acre each year are
none too much for the garden. To
stint a plot in this regard is to be
disappointed. Use all you can buy
or beg
Home farmers will tell us that they
consider their apple orchards the
best paving part of their farms. One
of the first things a buyer will ask is
whether or not the place is well
stocked with fruit. Is your orchard
old and not good for much? Would
you not be better starting one in a
new spot? Do you not regret that
you did not stari one five years ago?
we should not taKe it ior granted
that by crowding the ground we can
make up for bad culture. It is bet
ter to have plants thinned out too
much than to have them too thick.
