I am glad that you have defended the cause of the Independents so nobly and well, and hope you will live to continue on untill victory is ours. ' Nnur a word about the farmers in Valley couuty. I do not think there are one dozen men in the county that have got any feed for their teams this suriug, and a number of families uo seed or bread.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME A HALF-HOUR STUDY OF PRAC TICAL MATTERS. flaw to Jadfe Woolen Ue fikwp Oaloa May bo Made m Preatabte Crop The Poultry Yard Houm hold Hint. Tie., How to Jndte Wool. The following, on -how to judjje wool on live sheep," is from Town and Country Journal of .Australia: The finest and softest wool is always on the shoulders of the sheep. An expert in judging sheep always looks on the shoulders first. A writer of experience in rearing fine-wooled sheep and in handling wool communicates the fol lowing suggestions for selecting a good wooled sheep. Always assuming that the wool to be Inspected is really fine, we first examine the shoulders as apart where the finest wool is to be found. This we take as a standard and com pare it with the wool from the ribs, the thigh, the rumps and the shoulder parts, and the nearer the wool from the vari ous portions of the animal approaches the standard thebettter. First wo scru tiniae the fineness and if the result is satisfactory we pronounce the fleece, in respect to fineness, very "even.1' Next, we scrutinize the length of the staple, and if we find that the wool on the ribs, thigh and back approximate reasona bly in length to that of our standard. we again declare the fleece, as regards length of staple, "true and even." We next satisfy ourselves as to tho density of the fleece, and we do this by closing the hand upon a portion of the rump and loin wool, these points being usually the thinnest and more faulty. If this again gives satisfaction we designate all tho wool "even to density." Now, to summarize these separate examina tions: If the fleece is nearly all of equal length on sh6uldor and across the loius, we conclude that we have a perfect sheep for producing valuable wooL Onion Culture In England. The following culture directions for raising a prize crop of onions are given in Garden and Forest by its English cor respondent: "The soil is a heavy blackish loam, resting on red clay, and it receives a tremendous dressing of stable manure in the month of October, and, if the weather is dry, a good coat of salt; the ground is then trenched two feet deep, and left until the spring, when a top-dressing of Boot is applied. In March or April the ground is raked and made ready to receive the onions, the seed of which was sown the last week in. February, in boxes, ,' then hardened off, and planted the first week in May, in drills eighteen inches apart, seven inches being allowed from plant to plant. There are two rows of onions, then a path two feet wide and two rows of onions again, and so on. The beds are top-dressed with well spent manure, and several doses of soot are sown broadcast during the season; the beds being well watered in dry weather, thoroughly soaked between the rows, the two-foot path between each two drills being very convenient for the purpose. This method of culti vation produced the finest bed of onions ever grown in the United Kingdom. Hundreds of bulbs could be picked weighing from a pound to a pound and a half each, and scores from two pounds to 2 pounds a dozen bulbs scaled 28 pounds, and six bulbs 15 pounds. Am. Agriculturist. One Way of Doing It, A man who is willing to listen to the truth and to acknowledge the superi ority of one horse over another is not hard to convince that it pays to raise better horses. The trouble connected with getting breeders out of the old ruts in breeding is generally found in the fact that they will not listen to argument. A word on the topic of improvement will bring the idea to them at once that the man introducing such a thought has an axe to grind or something in his own interest to pro pose. ." Probably the best argument with men who are unwilling to heed any thing else is to give them a few object lessons. This can be done by raising horses that will sell for two or three times as much money as scrubs. Noth ing will open a man's eyes so quick as to touch his pocketbook. This would not be touching the pocketbooks of the breeders of inferior horses, but it would be letting them so severely alone that it would certainly be effec tive. National Stockman. How to Use the Whip. With a very free horse It is desirable to cautiously accustom him to the Bound and feel of tho whip lightly drawn acrpss him so as not to hurt him at all, says an experienced horseman. This Will prevent him from running whenever you take the whip in hand, and make it possible to touch up a slug by his side. A slow, easy-going horse, on the other hand, should never feel the whip unless to hurt him. Ladies and tender-hearted drivers often do great mischief to such horses by con stantly flicking at them uatil th horse cares no more for the whip than he does for his tail. With such horses a pretty heavy whip should be used, and I often used, but so that they feel it and ' know what it means. A horse that will not move and move quickly to the wiiip is neither pleasant nor safe. Market for Evaporated Apple. It is' scarcely possible to glut the market for evaporated fruit so as to bring it below cost of production. It has a market all over the world, being cheap, easily carried, without waste. One of the best markets for low grade ev ted apple8 to m France( where faUure of the grape crop has made a demand for ci(ieP M a Bubstitute. Our cheapest evaporated apples compare fav0bl J&ng with the - . u.a v.ra iitti .VJk A1VUVU vivuwiuu, wj v of which is from crafted trees, and so poor and sour that here it would bo scarcely thought fit for cider. Possibly failure of their vineyards may induce the French fruit growers to take better care ef their orchards; but a good market for evaporated apples seem to be assured for some years to come. Baked Isdlaa Padding. A baked Indian pudding is a dessert in which the old time New England housekeeper took epecial pride, says the New Youk Tribune. It is doubt ful if it ever can be served in perfec tion without a brick oven. It should be dark, rich in flavor, with a jelly like substance mixed through it, the result of a long. Blow baking at a steady heat and successive additions of milk during the baking. Eaten with a rich cream or with maple sugar, if you wish, melted in cream or wit simply sweet butter, this pudding is a culinary triumph. It is a failure if any makeshift process is resorted to in order to shorten tho time of its preparation. It should be baked at least six hours, if a steady, slow heat can be maintained in the stove. If possible use the "old process," not the kiln-dried meal usually sold in city groceries, Tho "old process" meal can be obtained at mills and is often sold by country grocery stores. To inane the pudding, stir into a pint of cold milk seven even teaspoonfuls of Indian meal. Add a teacup of molassos, a half teaspoonful of salt and a large tablespoonful of butter. Pour another pint of milk scalding hot over the other ingredients and stir it well. Put tho pudding into a thick earthen pudding dish, for the old-fashioned yellow ware seems tho most appropriate to serve it in. It should be begun early Thanks giving morning in order to be served at a 3 o'clock dintier, as it should bo' nearly done before it is time to prepare tho main part of the dinner. When you are ready to make up a hot fire for roasting the turkey and other cooking, it can be put, covered with a hot plate, in tho heating closet of the range, where it will keep at a -uniform tem perature and continue to work out its unrfection. If the , dinner is to be served at 3 o'clock the pudding should be put In the oven as early as 8 in tho morning and the oven maintainea at a steady heat till 1 o'clock, when the firo can be kindled over to furnish the in tense heat required for roasting. Then the pudding may bo put in the heating closet. We may add this pudding tastes quite as good any other day, Among the Poultry. Food -wheat to the poultry if con- fined. Do not feed whole threshed oats ex clusively. If eggs are kept for hatching, they must be turned regularly. Eggs intended for hatching should not be allowed to get chilled. Mixing a pod )f red pepper in with the food occasionally will be found beneficial. It takes time for the hens to get too fat to lay, and requires time to get them in good condition again. . Fifty-two eggs in a year ought to pay for the keep of a hen. and all that she lay over this should be profit. Poultry running at large in an orchard do a large amount of good in destroying insect pests and vermin. Sorghum seed makes one of the best feeds for growing fowls, especially when they are designed for early mar ket. ' A cheap remedy for lice and foul air in the poultry house is to mix a quart of coal tar to 10 gallons of water and sprinkle over everything. Clover is one of the very best foods for laying hens. Feed clover hay cut into small pieces . and soaked during the winter, and on green clover during the summer with their grain. Millet seed is a good feed for young poultry as soon as they begin to learn to pick up little bits of something to eat, and ordinarily it is a cheap feed. Many good breeders believe that roup can be inherited; that a hen once afflicted with roup never entirely re covers from the disease and will trans mit it to her offspring. Farm Note. Crude carbolic acid is better to use as a wash in soapsuds for trees than anything else. Kerosene should not be used on trees at all. Breeders who exhibited at the horse show in New York city all agree that the business "of breeding and training fine horses ffrows better with each year. Ice cold water drank by animals is raised to blood heat with grain and hay for fuel, just as truly as if you burned that fuel under a kettle containing tho water. ' . As in the matter of country butter, so hams, lard and other hog products must be just as good as any other, if the makers expect to find a ready market. The best colts cannot be reared like hot house plants. They must have ex erclse; but to have this they need not get their shelter from the leeward side of a barb-wire fence. The standard temperature for churn ing in the winter is 65 deg., in the summer 56 deg. Cream always warms up a few degrees in the churning. The churning in winter should be done in a warm room. The cost of feeding cows in a Cana dian dairy herd amounts to $18 in three months, from Jan. 1 to April 1, while the milk is sold for $42, leaving $24 profit for the three months, equal to $96 a cow in the year. A nurseryman tells in the Rural New Yorker that he uses with great success small bottles as tree labels. I he rec ord is placed in the bottle, which is then closed with a stopper and covered down to the neck with rubber cloth and wired on the same as any label. The best product for the farmer or general poulterer living near a city to cater to is retail custom. Have a regu lar line of housekeepers to whom you deliver eggs fresh once or twice a week and fowls whonever they are ordered. HIGHLAND STOCK FARM TOPEICA, T.
