TS, SOLD EVERYWHERE PRICE, 25 c, Profit in Farming. Farming does not give the largest profit compared with many other in dustries, but it affords more security to those who invest in that direction than any other, as one who owns a farm without encumbrance has an op portunity to apply,his labor, and labor itself is capital, the combination of iarm and labor being really the union of capital and labor. It is true that during some years the farmer will make little or no profit, but he has the opportunity of producing a sufficiency for his own use and is not compelled to pay rent. Another point is that a well-cultivated farm becomes more valuable every year, as a large propor tion of the profit is stored in the soil. To I eeil Hoc? Clover Hny." A Massachusetts reader wants to know how to feed hogs on clover hay as the bulk of the food and at .the same time keep them in growing con dition? Probably the best plan would be to cut the hay and feed it as a slop in conjunction with ground grain. The hay should bc steamed, but if you have noj; the facilities to do this pour boiling hot water on It and after stir ring it add the grain and then stir it again thoroughly. Corn, oats and clover hay in equal parts ought to make a good ration for the average hog, and they should be fed three times a day as much as they will cat up clean.-New York Weekly Witness. Hen? Tetter Tlmn Cow?. It is usually said that it requires four acres of ground to accomodatc one cow, and the average yearly profit about S20, to say nothing of the long hours and hard work in milking and caring for the cow. This makes a profit of $5 an acre; a poor showing, we think, when compared with the faithful old hen. An acre of ground will furnish the food for 50 hens, the profits from which will far exceed that of the cow. The secret of success with poultry lies in faithful application of common sense methods, and no man need say he cannot make poultry pay. Every day we see examples of what can be done; and though we also see failures, a cause can always be found. Home and Farm. CoinpnrUon of Hay nnd Tariaro. Does it pay to use a pasture; that is, will a larger profit be derived from cows that are given exclusively the use of a pasture, or will the same land pay more if used" for producing hay? The Michigan Experiment station found, after repeated tests, that about four times as much food could be ob tained from a meadow by allowing it to produce kay than by pasturing it, which means that four cows can bc kept on the land where only one can be kept by pasturing it. One of the drawbacks against using the land for hay, however, is that considerable la bor is required in mowing, curing and storing the hay, while the cows on the pasture perform the labor. Also that cows given green food as pasturage produce more milk in the summer sea c< m t-J?o??~?* -?-... - * more profitably than la cleaning them '^KWc^aMjft^ them and making re pairs on t??em beTcve-they are likely to be wanted again. The pTo\v"s,~har rows and more expensive machinery left out of doors this winter will de teriorate in value more than one-fifth. The loss would more than pay the In terest on the cost of a good building to shelter them in, and in many cases exceed the taxes on the farm. If they were not properly cared for when last used, take one of those fine days and gather them up, clean them, oil all the iron work and paint all the wood work. Never mind getting a painter to do the job. Euy a can of ready mixed paint and a cheap brush. Use any color that you like, but use it freely, not as an ornament, but as a preserva tive of the wood as the oil is of the iron. We heard of two farmers who cwned a harrow in partnership, and thought it should be painted, but could not agree on the color. Finally they compromised, and one painted his half black, while the other used yellow ochre. We never learned which half wore out first. While overhaul ing, see that all bolts and nuts are in place and broken parts mended.-The Cultivator. HeKfrnction of Western Range?. Being born and raised ir. the heart of the range west of the Rocky moun tains, and having observed from year to year the destruction of the feed upon these ranges by the immense herds of cattle, sheep and horses, I am constrained to write a word regarding this destruction. Twenty-five years ago the valleys and mountains of Idaho, Nevada and Utah were waving with rich grasses, enough being pro duced every year to feed more head of cattle than has ever been grazed on It in any five years, providing it had been fed as stock is fed on any good farra. We cannot term it destruction where grass is consumed by thc stock turned into beef, mutton or horseflesh, but when the grass is eaten and the roots trodden out and the ground left barren it is destruction. I have ob served that cattle will graze on a range from year to year and there will be little damage done to the roots of the grass, but with horses and sheep it is not the case. Horses eat the grass to the very roots, exposing them to the hot sun, and the roots die. Sheep do not eat grass when they can get weeds that they like, but woe to the range that they traverse. As I write I look upon Mount Cuddy and see great clouds of dust rising. If you could be transported to the scene on the mountain side you would see some 2000 sheep in a drove traveling along the mountain in the cool of the morning eating their breakfast. They nip a little on this bush and a little cn that one, while under their feet is being trodden the rich grasses, which they seldom touch. This brand of sheep will tramp and uproot the grass until it becomes too hot to travel, then they will take refuge beneath the brush and trees until evening, when they will again begin their march of destruction, treading out thousands of acres of grass during one summer. This has gone on from year to year, until now the mountains and valleys of the far west lie brown and barren . in the scorching sun. Not even a sheep can exist in many of these once beautiful grassy plains.-F. I,. Fenth erston, In Practical Farmer. Apple* on the TreBi The risk which Speculators ?hd dealers are Willing tb take in buying apples oh the trees and attending to the harvesting and selling themselves not infrequently proves a great boon to the grower. In large apple-growing regions it is rapidly becoming the cus tom for farmers to sell their apples in this way, and if one studies the ques tion of values, and knows how to cal cite the worth of his fruit on the , ti" . it is a good thing to dispose of , thc iples in this way. The purchas- j ing -npanies are generally able to ? mak ^tter arrangements for trans- , port?. with the railroad companies , .than individual farmer, and they . also en oy a small army of expert picker*; ad packers who accompany | them from one orchard to another. They can consequently pick and pack apples at less expense than the farm er who must depend upon whatever help he can secure in the harvest sea son. More than this, the speculators who buy the apples on the trees know better how to distribute the products. The apples are carefully sorted by them in different grades. It might prove a useful lesson to any grower to study their methods. First, there come the choice apples for export or the fancy city trade. These are select ed with the greatest care and packed carefully, often being wrapped in in dividual tissue paper. For a barrel of such apples a packer told me he .ex pected to receive $5 and $G in ordinary times. Very few farmers could secure ?such prices. The demand is, of course, limited, and the purchasers are hard to find by the average shipper. It is the experience of the men who make a business of handling the apple crop that helps them to secure these ex traordinary prices. The next grade of fruit is ordinary prime, which usually represents the grade called fancy in the ordinary market. These apples are also care fully picked and packed, but not i wrapped in paper. They command all the way from $3 to $4 per barrel. Then below them are the good and choice j fruits, which sell for about $2 a barrel. In markets when apples are scarce, these speculators ship another grade, which passes as common to ordinary, and they may sell from $1.50 to $2.50 per barrel, according to market condi tions. Anything below, these are packed up any way and shipped to some factory, where the apples are dried, and the poor sorts made into jelly.'.Sometimes the large apple spec- . uiators have their own canning, dry ing and jelly factories, which they keep running with the fruits they can not dispose of satisfactorily in the market. In this way there is no waste. Every apple is quickly sent to market or the factory when thc farm er would lose. They can and often do pay more for the fruit on the trees than the grower could get for it if he picked, packed and shipped it himself; but as said In j the beginning, one must know the val I ue of his apples on the trees. The I apple speculators are not offering j more money for the fruit than they ! are worth; it is for the glower t? nnd I this out.-S. W. Chambers, in Amerl i can Cultivator. Wheat Farming nnd Soil Fertility. . First-Where w*ie~t W*R grown con tinuously for eight years there was a ; h.o...~* irnn nn?r.]ii nor acre Of nitrC-j i to an annual loss of 175 pounds V?&Jf I acre in addition to that used asjj^fnt I fOOd^K-T-***"1-*^ jT^ 'l -^Second-When wheat? Hff&T^rown in a rotation with clover and oats, five crops of wheat being removed in eight years, larger yields per acre were se cured, and the total loss of nitrogen from the soil was reduced to 800 ! pounds, or about 450 pounds in excess J of that utilized as plant food. When ! corn was grown with clover and oats in a rotation, and farm manure waa used, the total loss of nitrogen from the soil for eight years was less than 100 pounds in excess of that removed as plant food. Third-When oats and barley were grown continuously the losses of nitro gen from the soil were nearly as large as with wheat. Fourth-When corn was grown con tinuously the loss of nitrogen from the soil was less than half as large as with wheat. When corn is introduced into a rotation the losses of nitrogen are less than if wheat is grown. Fifth-When wheat was grown con ! tenuously there was an annual loss cf over 2000 pou.ids an acre of humus, due to the fermentation and decay of animal and vegetable matter. When wheat was grown in a rotation with clover and oats no material loss of humus from the soil occurred.. Sixth-The loss of humus changed the physical properties of the soil, causing it to be less retentive of mois ture, lighter in color and heavier in weight per cubic foot. During drouths the soil from the continuous wheat cul tivated plot contained less water than the soil from the plot which produced wheat in rotation with clover. Humus conserves the moisture of the soil, while the rotation of crops, the use of farm manures and the growing o? clover conserve the humus of the soil. Seventh-When bare summer fal lowing is practised a heavier loss of nitrogen occurs than when wheat is grown continuously. Summer fallow ing favors the decay of the humus and the loss of nitrogen. While larger crops of wheat are produced after a year of fallow, this increase is fol lowed by a heavy loss of the total ni trogen of the soil. Summer fallowing rapidly exhausts the soil of its nitro gen. Eighth-When the nitrogen and hu mus of the soil were conserved by the rotation of crops and the produc tion of clover, an increase of 20 bush els per acre of corn and 56 bushels ol wheat were secured. Ninth-Wheat is not an exhaustive crop when it is grown in a rotation, but when it is grown continuously the fertility of the soil is impaired. It is not the crop itself that reduces the fertility, but it is the lack of syste matic methods of farming which caus es the decline of fertility. Old wheat soils readily recuperate when some humus forming materials are returned to the soil. By the rotation of crops, i the use of farm manures and the culti vation of clover the heavy losses of nitrogen and humus from the soil can be checked, and larger yields and a better quality of wheat secured.-Con- i elusions reported by Minnesota Ex periment Station. , The governor of Delaware can take i social precedence over any of the other I state executives at official entertain- 1 ments in Washington.

The mechanical skill that has devel jped the trolley system has not dis dained to lend itself to that common household belonging, curtain poles. Some new poles are shown by which the hanging is fixed to an attachment that works easily in a concealed groove, after the manner of trolley wheels. A touch slides the curtain back and forth, and jerky catches are unknown. To Hang Pictures. In hanging pictures remember that oil paintings look best when hung the usual way-sloping in from the top of the wall to the bottom-but that etch ings, water colors and line drawings look better hung flat against the wall. No picture should he hung so high that it is uncomfortable to look at, though pictures of large design or bril liant coloring look better hung high up than down low. A picture with Ehadows should have thc light side nearest the window when possible, so that the shadows will fall naturally. The stiff effects of "pairs" or "com panion" pieces should not be tolerated. There should be no set plan. Pictures appear most artistic when those of dissimilar size, shape and subject find place on corresponding parts of the wall. Mouldings are much better to hang pictures from than nails in the wall, and when suspended from the moulding any number of wire picture cords can be hung from the same brass picture holder.-American Queen. Brooms Unit Sweep Clean. For hardwood or stained floors and those covered with matting a hair broom should bc used. The hardwood floors need to be dusted after sweep ing. A very easy way of doing this is to make a Canton flannel bag of some dark color and tie it over a common broom. A vigorous rubbing with this covered broom will add con siderable polish to a dim floor. Fo/ wiping floors heavy Canton flannel makes a good clcth. Cut a convenient size and overcast thc edges coarsely. This is also an excellent plan for clean ing paint. Dusters made of cheesecloth with the hems run in are soft to use and wash easily. Old India or foulard silk is tne best thing I have ever tried for bric-a-brac and small articles. All dusters should be washed and dried af ter using. There is nothing gained by using a cloth filled with dust. It will not make anything clean. 'If brooms, both large and small, arc often washed and uried, then turneo up on their handles, they will sweep cleaner and last longer. There should be a con venient place for keeping brooms, dust pans and cloths. It will save many steps if a sei is kept on each floor. Mary Graham in the Woman's Home Companion.

It is only when the ther mometer reaches 212 degrees Fahren heit and the water is in rapid motion that it can be said to boil; and the almespheric gases still continue to be given off with the steam for a consid erable time after the water has com menced to boil rapidly; in fact, it is difficult to determine when the last traces have been expelled. It is safe to suppose, however, th?.t ten minutes' boiling will free the water from its gases, make it tasteless, and render it unfit for the making of tea, coffee or other light infusions of delicate ma terials.-Mrs. S.

Atlanta Constitution or o/>c Sunny South, Atlanta, Ga. of Syrup of Figjs is due todita ^asagtjform^ objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly as a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
