"A Small Thing."
i Do you believe in progress? Do
you believe that all the wonderful
achievements of the nineteenth century?the
railroad, the telegraph, the
telephone, electric light, kerosene,
sewing machine, agricultural machin
ery, steamships, trolley cars, etc.?
have made life easier and better
worth living? I do. I believe that a
man who lives forty years under
modern conditions has experienced
more life and better life than Methusalem,
though he had lived twenty
centuries of his time.
The triumphs of the nineteenth
^ century were triumphs of human service?the
placing of knowledge and
the fruits of knowledge within the
reach of the common man. Every
man's life is better, happier, more secure
because of them. We live more
comfortable, more sociable lives in
better and more comfortable houses

In little things as in great, comfort
and convenience have been the legacy
of the "Century of Improvement."
Paint, in a certain sense, is
a minor matter, yet it gives beauty,
healthfulness and durability to our
dwellings. Fifty years ago painting i
was a serious proposition, a luxury j
for the owners of stately mansions !
who could afford the expense of frequent
renewals. To-day ready mixed
paint is so cheap, so good and so universal
that no house owner has an'
t excuse for not keeping his property
well painted.
A small thing, indeed, yet several i
hundred large factories employing I
thousands of chemists and skilled j
workmen, are running every day in
the year to keep our houses fresh,
clean and wholesome.
A small thing, yet a can of good
ready mixed paint, such as one may
buy from any reputable dealer, embodies
the study of generations of .
skilled chemists, the toil of a thou- j
sand workmen in mill, laboratory and j
opfnrv anrt thp nrnrinot of a ioH?T !
series of special machinery invented
and designed just to make that can
- of paint and to furnish us an infinite
variety of tints, colors and shades.
,It was a wonderful century, that !
nineteenth of our era, and not the :
least of its wonderful gifts was that
same commonplace can of paint.

Hard-Mouthed Horses.
Here is something of real practical
Value to any one driving a horse that
pulls on the bit: Fasten a small ring
to each side of the bridle and as negr
the browband as possible. Pass lines
through bit-rings and snap them into
rings at browband. This, with a common
jointed bit, will enable a chiid
to hold a "puller" or hard-mouthed
horse with ease under almost all circumstances.
It can be used on a fast
horse in double team, or on both, as
desired. It is cheap and easily applied,
and it won't make the mouth
sore. It is better than any patent
bit.?The Epitomist.
Rations of Live Stock.
The desire to have some fixed rules
for feeding live stock has introduced
?nany experiments in various ways. If
the exact amount of feed necessary
for the support of an animal could be
estimated, the farmer would be enabled
to avoid many mistakes. Long
ago the Germans invented a* table to
be used in the feeding of animals in
proportion to the live weight of each.
It must be admitted that "system is
half the battle," and it is applicable
to feeding stock. There is much to be
gained by measuring and weighing
the feed, and such a system should be
practised wherever stock is fed. It
is a waste to give it too much and
it is' an injury to give it too little.
Animois have their characteristics in
feeding as well as individuals, and are
given to loss of appetite, daintiness,
and gorging. Some cows, when in full
flow of milk, require certain rations,
variable in quality, as the regulation
of the milk flow is affected thereby.
Horses, when performing hard work,
a*s all know, require more nourishing
food than when at rest Judicious
farmers, when feeding, by measuring
and weighing, adapt not only the quality,
by mixture, but also the quantity,
according to the purpose subserved by
each animal. With all classes of animals,
the individuality of each member
of a herd or flock must be considered.?The
Epitomist. '

Harvesting Potatoes.
More, or less judgment is required
in doing any kind of work and the digging
of potatoes is no exception to the
rule. In the first place, so many
should not be dug out at one time
that they cannot be handled readily.
A good way is to dig during the-fore
part of each half day, and then gather
the tubers before quitting. As soon
as dry they should always be picked
up and if the weather is reasonably
dry the length of time necessary for
drying depends almost entirely upon
the nature of the soil. If sand}', an
hour may be long enough, but if a
moist clay it may take several hours.

not be left out on the ground over
night. If they are, the frost has every
chance to get at them, and only a little
freezing is required to spoil a good
many bushels for market. It is poor
practice, too, to pick up potatoes without
any regard to grading. Two classes,
anyway, should be made of them;
all those of good marketable size
should be gathered first, and the undersized
ones left till later. It also
pays to have crates or bushel measures
in which to pick them up. Easy to
distribute about the field these, after
being filled, can readily be placed on
a wagon and drawn off. Furthermore,
they prevent the tubers from being
jammed and marred. Thirty or forty
of them, or even a less number, may
profitably be owned by every farmer
who makes a business of raising potatoes
and similar crops.?Fred O.

Sifting a Dairy Herd.
The dairy herds of Illinois have been
quite thoroughly looked over by the
experiment station workers of that
state. Interesting results were obtainedifrom
eighteen average herds located
in the southern part of the
state.
Of the 221 cows included, the average
production per cow was 5,617
pounds of milk and 227 pounds or Putter
fat, with an average milk test of
4.03 percent. The best herd averaged
350 pounds, the poorest 142 pounds
butter fat per cow. The butter fat
produced by the be.su cow was worth
$119, while that of th^e poorest was
worth only $19.58, showing an excel
lent profit for the good cow and much
less than nothing to pay pay her board
for the poor cow. It was found that
at least one-third of the cows were unprofitable
reckoning the food they consumed
in market price.
An interesting example was a process
of weeding out a herd by the use
of the Babcock test. Five cows were
taken out, and the average profit of
the herd was increased by $7.62 per
head. A study of the feeding system
used in that section led to the conclusion
that those who fail to provide
silage were making a serious mistake,
and that they should also use more
clover and alfalfa hay, which would
replace the expensive, concentrated
foods to an extent and reduce the cost
of milk production.
Buttermilk may be built up along a
vegetable route, a feature which is
generally neglected by truck men.

price of fresh milk. A great deal of

Clover Silage.
The filling of silos with clover is
still an unsolved problem. In the latest
bulletin of the Michigan Agricultural
Station the summary of this
question, which for some time there,
has been In the experimental stage,
was about this: Make the clover into
hay, and feed with corn silage as part
of the protein ration. The facts as
they presented themselves to Director
Smith were that making clover silage
was slow and expensive work and involved
drawing too much water to the
silo. Clover is hard to rake up, to
load, and to get into the silo, and it is
uncertain in the siloing part; so it
seems the better way to cure it into
hay and feed as the dry part of the
ration, except in years where there is
a great amount of rain and curing is
about impossible.
So far as I know, cattle eat good
clover silage with much relish, but
the question is this, "Does it pay to
draw a crop.to the silo that will dry
out in the field G5 pounds of water to
the 100 pounds?" The director thought
not, when he needed some dry hay to
go with his corn silage. The real
trouble with clover seems to be in its
high protein content,, causing it to tak*
on a greater heat in the silo than corn,
and so it throws off too much moisture
and is liable to burn. Some experiments
were made where clover
was closely pressed Into huge casks .
and. headed, up air tight, so that no
moisture could escape, and excessive
heating could not take place, owing to
the exclusion, of further supplies of oxygen,
and the keeping was about perfect.
This is a point in which the hen
men might find profit by filling small
barrels with clover and heading it in,
for her^silage in the winter.
Some have succeeded well with siloing
clover by cutting it, as they do
corn, and wetting down with fair additions
of water, making the mass decidedly
wet, and adding weight to the
cover to promote more absolute settling
and exclusion of air. All agree
upon this: that the clover should be
cut when coming into blossom and be
got into the silo without wilting, and
there be spread uniformly, and the
mere closely packed the better. I'
have not answered Mr. D. to do or not
to do. It's a matter he must decide
upon, and then do some experimental
work for himself. Those who seek
out new ways and metnods are said to
be favored by the gods.?Tribune Farmer.
Farm Notes.
If there are ticks on the sheep, dip
them and the lamps when the shearing
is done.
Besides the profitableness of growing
the better animais, there is the
advantage in that there is always a
demand for such stock.
Regulate the amount of grain according
to the amount of work done. Do
not feed too much grain on idle days.
Serious results sometimes follow.
In selecting a setting hen, where
there is a choice in the matter, only
the tame, less nervous and fidgety cues
should be used as brooders and nurses.
For farm work the farmer wants
good sized horses, yet there are some
small horses which will stay with any
of them. There ds a great deal of difference
in the way horses are built.
If ycu waDt the horses to do the
most work feed them on the proper
feed, so that they may develop strength
and be able to do the required work.
Try some oats instead of so much corn.
Good healthy fowls, properly killed
and cooled, ought to keep in any ordinarily
cool place at a temperature of
forty or fifty degrees, for a week at
least and be all the better for being
kept. : *

cared for! should keep three 220-egg
incubators going ana turn out between
2000 and 3000 ducklings during the

In.feeding fowls, always keep in view
the fact that the excess of food ewer
and above that required for warmth of
body and egg production will be converted
into fat which will decrease the
production of eggs.
