"Just as au illustratration let me tell you of the experience of a neighbor of ours named Westerfield. He came to Nicaragua le6s than four years ago from somewhere in New England, and brought with him a little child. He was very much run down and weakened with consumption, and came to the tropics to try to regain his health. I happen to know that he didn't have a dollar, and he was glad to take a job clerking at about $40 a month gold. Being naturally shrewd and energetic, he made a little money trading, and bought a 160-acre tract, which he proceeded to have cleared by degrees, setting it out partly in rubber trees and partly in bauauas and fruits. In a year the fruit began to return a | small revenue, which he used in extending the cultivation, his idea being to have eventually a well-stocked rubber p'antatton, and in the meanwhile to make the other things pay the expenses. By good management and 1 industry he carried out the program, and in the second year opened a small store for trading with the Indians. ( After that it was easy, and in considerably less than four years he had one of the nicest rubber groves in the republic. The trees are now on the : point of giving their first yield, but recently his wife's health failed and he was obliged to return north, having completely recovered himself. Four weeks ago he-sold his plantation as it Rtands for 823,000 in gold.

Farmerfl generally do not give th? feeding of their horses the attentioi it deserves. Balanced rations anc food mixtures for the dairy cow ant the feeding steers are carefully ex amined and discussed, but the feed ing of the horses is usually all thi hay that they can eat and varyinj quantities of oats according to th* work being done. Sometimes evei the latter part is neglected. If i horse is required to do extra har< work he should be liberally and fru quently fed. The amount of fooi given should bo regulated by the siz and breed of the animal and by th< amount and kind of work he is re quired to do. The horse has a smal stomach in proportion to his size hence frequent feeding when nnde hard work is necessary. The humai stomach can bear hunger far bette than that of the horse. If driving 01 a journey you feel hungry you ma; be sure your horse has felt it befor you did and is needing his feed mor than you do. Needed on All Farms. Grain scoops are needed on al farms.

It is a fact that more fat may b gotten out ol charcoal than one woul suspect without a knowledge of chem istry. Here is an account of one es periment: Four turkeys were confine* in a pen and fed on meal, boiled pc tatoes and oats. Four others of th same brood were at the same time cob fined in another pen, and fed daily o I the same article, but with one pint c very finely pulverized charcoal mixe with their food?mixed meal and pc tatoes. They had also a plentiful sup ply of charcoal (broken) in their pen The eight were killed on the same da and there was a difference of one an one-half pounds each in favor of th fowls that had been supplied wit! charcoal, they being much the fatter and the meat being much superior i: point of tenderness and flavor. There is a general complaint tha young turkeys suddenly droop an* die without apparent cause. This oc curs usually during the summer sea son and especially during the ver; warm weather. If a close examinatio; be made, the solution will be found ii the presence of lice. The best rem edy is to dust them with insect pow dor and remove them to a new locatio; from the one to which they have re paired for the night.

Every colony of bees should hav twenty-five or thirty pounds of gooi sealed honey to carry it through th winter properly. Tbe only feed tha I would recommend is granulate) sugar, thoroughly melted by addini water, and bringing it to the boilinj point. It should not boil for an; length of time, or it will certaiDl; crystallize. The syrup should be tliii I when fed?about the consistency o molasses. Before feeding begins it would b< well to arrange the brood nest, but 11 most cases the bees have already don this. The center of the hive should con tain three or four combs that are empt; in the center and lined at the top am ends with honey. Other frames heavy \ritli honey, may be placed a the sides until the hive is filled. Dar ing autumn we often find frames o combs filled with pollen near th brood nest, and an excessive ainoun of this is not desirable for wintering and may be removed. Pollen i9 use< only for rearing brood, and to confiu bees on it for winter food has sa ten eeucy to produce dysentery. An; pollen thus removed should be re placed early in the Bpring. Bees surely need some other treat mentin winter than leaving theui ou in ordinary hives. Different mode: oi wintering nave ueen auopieu; nu two methods are most in vogue.

In Germany twent; * methods of preserving eggs have been * tested; the three -which proved most ( effective were coating the eggs with * vaseline, preserving them in lime. water, and preserving them in water4 glass. The conclusion was reached that the last is preferable, because 0 varnishing the eggB -witli vaseline 1 takes considerable time, and treating 1 them with lime-water is liable to giv? 1 them a disagreeable odor. There is - one drawback to the water-glass - method of preservation; the shell ? easily bursts in boiling water. This 3 may be avoided, by piercing the shell e with a strong needle. i The North Dakota Experiment a Station has been making tests with 1 the water-glass method of preserva tion, and has found that a ten per 1 cent, solution of water-glass preserves 0 eggs so effectually that "at the end of e three and a half months eggs that were packed the first of August ap1 peared perfectly fresh. In most ? .packod eggs, after a little time, the r yolk settles to one side, and the egg i is then inferior in quality. In these r eggs preserved in water-glass the yolk a retains its normal position, and in y taste they were not to be distinguished e from fresh, unpacked store eggs." e I Water-glass can be produced for about fifty cents a gallon, and one gallon will make enough solution to II preserve fifty-dozen eggs, so that the cost of the material will not interfere ? with its use. If this latest bulletin of the department gives an impetus to _ the business of preserving eggs, con- > Burners must beware. Light In Cattle Quartern. In too many barns the windows behind the cows are made of board, fitted to slide back and forth. Board windows are used because manure is thrown out of the openings, and it is feared glass would be broken. Hence the cattle have dark and unhealthy quarters. Glass windows can be arranged so there will be no danger of breaking them. They can be fitted to slide to one side, slipping in behind a cover of boards, or they can be made to drop, as shown in the cut, or to rise, being protected by boards in front, not shown in cut.

For a long time it has been generQ ally supposed that milk while still warm from the cow's udder was loss .. susceptible to odors thau after it had a become cool, but Dr. H. L. Russell, 3 the eminent Wisconsin bacteriologist, e has shown this to be a mistake and t that warm milk actually takes on more odor than does cold under similar conditions. This is an important discovery, and throws much e light upon the proper handling of milk (3 for best results. e Clean milking, by clean hands, in t as pure a stable atmosphere as obtain3 able, must be supplemented by a g rapid and thorough coding of the j milk. Cooling at once lessens the y capacity of the milk to take up odors, y arrests tho process of fermentation, a and, if well stirred during the cooling, f the cream is kept from rising to the surface and will afterward more surely 3 remain mixed with the milk while i being distributed from the wagon, e These are valuable considerations for a milkman who desires to give his y customers a good service. i For us the simplest and best way to , accomplish all of these good results is t to have a tank of ice water in a room near or adjoining the milking room, f As fast as the pails are filled, take e immediately to the tank and pour the t milk into tin cans, which are suspended , in the ice water. Have an agitator 1 ill the can while being filled. The e simplest and best form for this is not unlike an old-fashioned churn dasher, p only make the dasher of a piece of tin - six or seven inches in diameter, soWnred firmly on to the end of a wire - handlo, which had better bo galvant ized and have a loop in the end to 3 hang it up by. Two or three plunges t with this implement in a can of milk e each time that a pail is emptied will e bo found to be very effective in agir tating and consequently in cooling the 3f milk. t. We much prefer this simple and efr fective method to any of the more elaborate and expensive ones, and it - is our exDerience that milk so treated r will keep longer than as though exi, posed to the atmosphere iii a fine u spray or a thin sheet, in neither of , which case are any germs removed, but it is reasonably certain that even under very favorable conditions, a few are added to the milk. Milk or any other fluid will cool much more readt ily when brought in close contact with I water than in air, even though the air 3 is considerably colder than the water. 7 This is especially true of milk in tin II cans or glass jars.
