TIMOTBY HAY.
Timothy bay needs much less curing
than clover, and can be put in safely,
in good weather, the day it is cot.
Waldo F. Brown wiites to the Ohio
Farmer:
I prefer, however, a cut in the af
ternoon, when it is free from all exter
nal mobture, turn it just before noon
the next day, and at one o'clock turn
a second timp, and in half an hour start
the teams to takiug it in. I learned by
a losing experience that it is necessary
to have ventilation under the floor of a
hay bay. I built a hay bam five or
six years ago, and a floor on mud sills,
only a few incites above the ground,
and found nearly a ton of musty bay
in the bottom of a bay 24x14 feet in
size. I then raised my mud sills and
placed them on stones, 90 as to allow a
space of a foot under them, and my
hay bas kept well ever since. I do
not use sills at all in a hay barn, but
stand the post on the foundation and
spike a 2x8 joist to them to bold them
in place, and then place timbers on
stone to support the floor joists so that
the weight of the hay rests on the
ground and not on tiie frame of the
barn. For our own use we prefer
mixed hay, cliver and timotby, and
the mammoth clover is best, as it
ripens with the timothy; but not over
two pounds of seed to the acre should
be sown, or the timothy is likely to be
smothered out entirely the next season.
Another advantage of this thin seed
ing is that the timothy keeps the clover
from falling down, and helps it to
cure better. I have never found mam
moth clover satisfactory for bay when
sown by itself, but with timotby it
iargel} increases the yield of hay, and
cures out so to be eaten by all stock ss
well as the medium clover."

SHORT POULTRY CHATS.
Shady runs are uow thoroughly ap
preciated by laying bens, as well as
the growing chicks. The plum, cherry
and pear trees make good kinds for
this purpose, or raspberry, current and
gooseberry bushe3 for smaller fruits.
Do not neglect, another season, the
planting of some kind of-fruit along
the runs where your poultry live.
A Pennsylvania farmer kept a fine
flock of hens t hat brought him a great
many dollars each yeai ; lie wras quite
original in his ideas, and had so much'
trouble to get his liens to hatch. This
spring he hit upon a novel «eherne that
worked well. Selecting the bens that
did not lay aud were inclined to hatch,
lie made them a close-fitting cap of
heavy cloth which completely blind
folded them and was impossible to
shake off. When a chicken is blind
folded it will squat down and slay
theie. He has set five bens, and each
day liberating them for food, water and
exercise. Three of the hens brought
ont all the eggs intrus'ed to them ex
cept two, and aie as proud of their
families as tlio they volautirily con
tracted them.

SKIM MILK FOR PIGS.
A reader having aäked tiie "Breedei's
Gazette" as to whether be could afford
to pay 20 cents per 100 for ekim-miik
to feed pigs, with hogs selling at four
and ODe half cents per 100 live weight,
Prof. W. A. Henry, director of the
Wisconsin state experiment station,
answers as follow:
"As a bare proposition with no con
tingencies I would say yes. For young
pigs the feeder can And nothing equal
to skim-milk. It gives them a start
that nothing else can. For such, feed
three pounds of skim-milk to one of
corn meal. A mixture of half coin,
meal and half shorts is perhaps more
satisfactory from a pratical standpoint
though not theoretically. I think
shorts are less harsh in the youug pig's
stomach. Certainly pigs fed shorts
and milk do wonderfully well, while
theoretically corn meal is the comple
ment of the milk. As the pigs grow
older, unless there is milk iu abund
nncp, reduce the milk gradually.

THE PROFITABLE FEEDING WKIGIIT.
A large per cert, of faram- i-ze
and feed hogs, and the belief tliu. bolds
with many is that some future month
will bring better prices, which can at
best be only a matter of guessing.
Would it not be better to adopt the
rule of getting to market as quickly as
possible, taking the price at which they
can be sold where the limit of the most
profitable feeding weight is reached,
say 175 to 200 pounds? This would
cut off unprofitable feeding, or in other
words, s' op the feeding when it takes
too much food to make a pound of
gain, and yet in a series of years give
the farmer as good average prices as lie
will secure by trying to fee d to catch
the high price all the time.
It is a very low piice that will not
give a good profit on a pig that has been
made do bis besi up to 175 pounds,
while a slight drop in price on a 300
pound hog will will lose a man "plenty
of money.
Will not some farmer of an experi
mental turn test this matter of com
mon belief among farmers, that there
is more profit in one-half giain feed
ing on clover than there is in full grain
ration in connection with clover? Take
two lots of hogs of equal quality,
weigh bog3 and feed used, give treat
ment indicated above. Don't jump at
conclusions by giving one lot one style
of treatment one year and another lot
the next. Conduct both experiments
at the same time.
For best summer growth there must
be au abundance of shade, unlimited
quantities of pure water. To secure
this the brook must have a gravel bot
tom. Fresh, quick growing grass,
clover or other grasses should be fur
nished. If these are lackiug, foods
must be supplied that are chemically
as near like grass as possible. The grain
ration must not be lacking,- it takes too
long "to get there" on grass alone.—

the followingad
% vice to girls
va hielt will be
found of iuteiest.
It isn't often a
man comes fo r
ward to offer ad
vice unsolicited
on how to choose a husband— when one
does, women ought to give his remarks
attention, for the suggestions be ad
vances are sure to be interesting If not
convincing. • *
"Don't marry any man," says a mas
culine philosopher, "without duly con
sidering his tastes and habits, for they
offer a pretty sure estimate of the in
dividual's temper and bent of his char
acter. Refuse a man of letters, though
his genius may promise to produce the
book of the century,
himself was not a satisfactory life's
partner and authorship is a sedentary,
brain-wearing, dyspeptic profession.
He w ho bends over a desk coluiDg fine
senteuc s will likely scowl when the
baby wails, quarrel with hia food, want
peace when the children romp, suffer
from insomuia and live chiefly on bis
nerves.
"Refuse him," Mr. Stevenson con
tinues, "just as you would the musical
genius, or even the vocalist or instru
mentalist who has too much talent.
Men of that stripe always sacrifice
everything to their art, which leaves
you see, very short commons for the
wife. Your embryo Wagner is'apt
enough fo be as full of crotchets as his
scores. He is always up to the clouds
or pluuged in abysmal depths. The
neigbboi'a practicing daughter, keeps
him on the wrack, bis hours of compo
sition or protracted practice sap all
the harmony from his mind and body,
while ambition rides him like a night
mare.
But if you must have a husband in
the arts try a painter or an architect.
An artist is the only man who knows
bow to make poverty picturtsque and
accept it with philosophy—dubbing col
ors on canvas, or drawing stately lines
is somehow a soothing occupation to
the mind. There always lingers a halo
of romance around the velveteen coat
and,'alleasel andarlists are by the le
quireiueuts i f the profession, moie pa
tieullyhupeful than feverishly ambi
tious.
There is really much excellent ma
terial for a good husband to be found
among the journalists. A capable
journalist is eminently a good-tem
pered fellow ; cheerful, energetic, has a
keen understanding of human nature,
comprehends the philosophy of making
the best of a bad bargain, leads a busy,
healthy, varied life and as a husband
stands a better chance of succeeding
than, for instance, a physician.
It's doubtful if the popular doctor is
much of a comfort to his wife. He
has too little leisure; his professional
claims are carried everywhere with
him, he is preoccupied, scarcely ever a
good business man; but a lawyer is to
be highly recommended, and politic
ians have their strong virtues.
* *
* ■*
Harmony is the great quality desira
ble in every household,but where it can
not be obtained save at the cost of the
wife's selfrespect a battle royal is pref
erable. Nagging never accomplishes
anything, tears rarely do, and protests
pass off like so many drops of water
from a-dock's back, for when a man
starts in to be mean he knows pretty
well bow to be as mean as possible,
and in such a case a woman i- justified
in showing some little reciprocal spunk
that will prove to him that lie is not the
only c eatuie in the woild blessed
witti au opinion.
L t any one of our readers I ok
over the list of her acquaintances and
see if among them there is not one wife
who would be a great deal better off if
she just once in a while would speak
up like a woman of s uiie spirit. It is
all very well t ■ preach <>u the rneek
uess of wives, the sweet submission to
a lord and master and all that sort of
rubbish, bu in these days when wom
an's opinion is regatded as an equal,
and oft times I lie superior, of man's,
why on ear'll should she put up with
such arrogance of ideas in the home?
• *
BEAUTIFUL WOMÇN.
"Oil! if I w re only beautiful," is
the cry of nearly every young woman
w hose face has a ' tendency tow ards
homeliness.
Now, come to think of it, is a brau
tifi 1 woman such an object of envy as
she seems?
Plain women are prone to look upoL
one who possesses a Itand-oa e face, as
their enemy. In consequence site is
ulwsxs receiving small stabs which
wound her keenly. No sooner dues a
man speak to lier than he is supposed
to be in love w ith her while auy ordi
nary civility is proof of courtship.
Married or single, old or young, all
male creatures are supposed to be fas
cinated Iiy her clinrms, and she cannot
receive the smallest attention w ithout
being accused of a desperate flirta
tion.
. Iu litis revp< ci site does not enjoy
liait the liberty afforded her homely
sisters.
In the humble walks of life remark
able facial h vtlmess is perhaps the
greatest misfortuue a woman can
have. Many ladies will not employ a
maid servant, uune or .seamstress who
is handsome, while one so endowed is
perpetually pursued by dangerous or
iiisul.iug admiratiou.
