THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE. LINCOLN, NEB., THURSDAY FEB. 4, 1892. ME FABMER'S COLUMN. MATTERS Or INTEREST TO THE AGRICULTURAL WORLD. Farming Yesterday and To-Day Winter Feedlngt of Sheep Val ue of Experiment How Ho Called the Cow Egg In Canada. Farming Yesterday and To-Day. Farmers whose memories date back forty, fitiy or sixty years can recall how much harder the labors of the ag riculturalist werp then than now! The vast improvements in farm machinery and implements of all kinds Lave p-eatly lessened his toil, and cotres pondingly increased his power. What an enormous difference there is, for in stance, between the mowing and reap ing implements of former times and now. Mowing with a scythe was good, stalwart, manly exercise, but it was slow and laborious business compar ed with the ingenious mowing machine of to-day. And cradling grain-what tedious, toilsome work it was! So, too, was the threshing with the hand flail on the barn floor. Fine athletics it was when two sturdy young fellows beat the grain with alternate strokes, md filled the air with the rhythm of their fast-falline blows. But it was tiresome labor, and how inelficent compared with the machine that now so quickly accomplishes the task! Jt is calculated that the power of the individual has been about doubled by the change from manual tn nnu'hint labor. We are so accustomed to these and similar wonderful mechanical con trivances that we do not realize how great a change the invention of them has wrought in the methods and re ouirements of liunilan labor. There are men still living to whom, in their bovhood. the mode of traveling was essentially the same as when the Founder of Christianity walked about the hills and valleys of Judea, or rode upon an ass's colt in his triumphal eutrv into Jerusalem. But now the humblest laborer mav be whirled along in royal state at the marvel ous pace of lifty miles an hour. And enuallv creat has been the revolution in the arts of husbandry. The New England farmer of half a century ago reaped and threshed his grain with implements hardly less rude than were wielded bv the reapers whom Ruth the Moabitess followed in the fieldlof Boaz. But the use of machin ery naa emancipated him from the heaviest drudcerv of the farm. The wonder is how any man found oppor tunity, in those "cood old times," to eat or sleep or think. "Good old times," forsooth! The good times are now, tonlay, and will be to-morrow in even creater decree, as further labor-saving appliances lessen the de mand for manual toil. . These chances have been so gradual that we do not fully realize their broad import. But they mean much They mean increased opportunity for mental enlargement, for growth in refinement, for increased comfort In the home, for the betterment of every man and woman and child as sociated with farm life, lo be sure, the farmer is still obliged to work, and' work hard, to obtain the things deem ed essential to comfortable and sub stantial livine. But his work counts lor move than in former days; and while, perhaps, he works as hard as formerly, he does not have to work so long, and the labor is in consequence hot bo wearing to mina ana Doay. iie now has time, if he will for rest and thouchts and the enjoyment of the good his labor has secured. There is. in fact, no life more envi- nltla f hnn that nf fln intelligent. TroS nerous farmer, who owns his land and knows how to make the most of his farm and of himself. He is working with and in the presence of nature, and if. in such kindly companionships. lie is not hanDV. why. he oucht to be heartily ashamed of himself. Value of Experiments. The average farmer should do more experimenting, as the knowledge thus gained is noteasily forgotten. I don't mean that he should experiment with lightning-rod peddlers, Bohemian oats agents, wort mess patent rigrus, or in Wall street or Chicago stock specula tion, "grave-yard" insurance, whiskey drinkinc or even with the various new fancied machinery, etc., with which the country is nooueu. iuiskihuoi ci nerimentins has morally and finan cially ruined thousands of homes, and farmers should give all sucn tilings wide berth. But they should expert ment in the use of commercial fertilizers, early and late seed inc. deep and shallow seeding, etc. W read of the result, of such experiments at our experiment stations, but soon forget all about them, whereas were feiiev made bv ourselves and on our own farms thev would produce a last inc. impression and bo of real practical yalue to us. If we farm intelligently we must do some experimenting. It will not do to leave this for our neighbors or the ex jierimcnt stations to do for us. When it comes to experimenting with com mercial fertilizers fanners are entirely too careless. Experiments to deter mine the merits of a fertilizer may be easilv made and unless they are made the farmer goes groping along in the dark not knowinc to what extent, if any, his crops aae benefited thereby, In drilling a field, atrips a rod or more in width should always be lelt tin fertilized. Two or three or more of such strips should ba left in every field, according to its size and variety of soil. Don't be satisfied with one or tsrostrips the width of the drill, but reave strips a rod or more wide. Don't think because it benefits the crop on one field that it will necessarily do good anywhere on your farm, Don't think because it gives satisfactory results one year that it will another. The season may be against it. Don t think because certain brand does good one season that it will do to tie to that brand. Your soil may soon need something else, or the manuincturer may adulterate that brand after se curing a good trade, or even before, and unless you test your fertilizer each year and ascertain its merits, or demerits, you may "get left." Now brother farmers, when it comes to us ing this costly articledon't co gropinj along in the dark, but test it and "let Uiere be light." Frank Leslie in Ohio I armer. Eggs In Canada, As to the Canadian egg trade there can be no doubt that it lias expanded this season to a greater extent than even the moet sanguine ex pected. In quiries made this week show, however. that the quality 01 consignments ess not been so welt maintained during the past few weeks. There have, of course, been notable exceptions, but the general tendency has been down wards rather than upwards m the quality of the egg in the packing. The general opinion of those in the trade who have been consulted is mat mere is a lame and permanent market for Canadian eegs if only due careistaken by the shippers. The market is, however, only a poor one for eggs of the hall-stale character wnun nave been coming forward recently. Card board boxes, moreover, will not do for the packing; they not only m- rease the breakages but give a musty smell to the eggs and lessen their mar ket value. If the eggs are taken when a perfectly fresh condition and packed according to the methods sug gested by the Dominion authorities, and sorted into tneir oinerent sizes; there can be no doubt that a fairly remunerative market will be always found for them. But it is imperative that the quality of the eggs should be maintained if Canada is to secure a good reputation on the London mar ket. In Liverpool, Glasgow, and other points, an even larger demand exist, and there, as in London, everything depends upon the quality of the eggs and the methods ot shipment. caua dian Gazette. Winter Feeding of Sheep. Sheen do not need to be closely stabled in winter. They do not thrive in confinement, and as they do not mind the cold, it is safe to keep them in the open air. But they do suffer from cold winds and rain, so that suitable shelter should be provided for them against winter storms and blasts. A yard inclosed with a tight board fence, with a shed on the north side, open to ths south and tightly closed on the other three sides, is rec ommended as the best winter quar ters. The feed should consist of grain, bright straw, clover hay and corn fodder. Clover is rnked first as a feed for sheep. A half pint of grain once or twice a day, with good straw, is re garded by some iIock masters as a Butticient ration, uariey straw is considered the best, with oats, wheat and rve in the order named. .... . ... . There should always De a supply oi water within reach. It is not cooo policy to depend on snow in place of water, for, although the sheep will siaKe tneir tiiirsu itn biiuw, iv o neu ter to give them water directly. Salt should also be constantly on hand, where they can get it when they want it. The American rock salt is by tar the best, and lumps may he placed in the yard for their use. This is prefer able to civr' ' fine salt occasionally, as, if there is'a supply constantly at nana, tuey win tase it oniy iuey need it. How He Called the Cow. He lives just outside tho corpora tion limits, where there are large conv mons on which the cows pasture, Having a large lawn, he mows the grass with an attachment to his lawn mower which catches the grass cut. This he feeds to his cow at night, and her toothsome lunch of fresh-mown grass has come to be a looked for evening occurence. The other evening a friend went out to spend tho night. After tea the gentleman's wife remarked to him: The cow has not come nome yet; hadn't you better start her?" 'lYes," was the answer, and then while his city friend watched to see him perform the office of cowboy he deliberately got out his lawn mower and began marching back ana ionn across me shaven sod, as though there was no matter of cream for the coffee next morning at stake. "Did you torget what your wile said about the cowr the friend asked presently. "Forget? No; isn't she there?" He looked mthe direction indicated, and there sure enough, was Sukey with her nose over the fence. "Sent a boy after her?" "No. I called her." But I didn't hear you." "xes you did; you ve oeen standing right here." "But you haven't said a word." "But I called the cow just the same.and she heard the call the noise of the lawn-mower." And sure enough, every night when the cow hears that, sue comes trotting home. Maryland Farmer. Accumulator In the Dairy. The introduction of the accumula tor into the dairy, in view of late ex periments, is apt to drive one knotty noint out of the business and that is AT the churnabilitv of milk. That nrettv much a hobcoblin at best, but actual experiment at the stations has proven that while the milk of the dif ferent breeds did vary some tn the amount of fat left in the skun-milk and buttermilk when the mi!k was set by the deep cold system, or the shal low warm system, yet when the ma chine made the butter directly from the milk there was no unchurnability about it, there being no tat left in tho skimmilk. This is as it should be, and we can all join in in welcoming the centifrugal buttermnker that elimin ates all of the troublesome doubts, delays and vexations of the churn with its more than dangerous funki ness, especially if it is one of the clo3 od kind. Practical Hints. The way to have healthy cows is to feed and care for them right from calf hood up to maturity. Havo healthy cows on healthy feed and you will have littlecause for com plaint as regards sickness. Remember that in working brine salted butter the object sought is to get rid of the extra moisture and to make the butter compact. The practice of burning the trim mings from berries and grapes is a good one. It destroys in the embryo thousands of enemies to these plants. Coarse, light hay thrown over spinach will usually carry it through the winter in open ground, provided water does not stand on the land. It is said that at Rambouillet, near Versailes, Merino sheep have been bred for more than acentury, and the flock is known all over the world. There are too many farmers still re maining who boast of being practical men at their work, and manifest a holy horror of what they call book farming. To bring success in the sljeep busi ness, it is as necessary here to hav some practical knowledge of the sheep, its peculiarities and necessities, as it , any other vocation.

Miller starts ont with a family of five, including one plow boy, three men and a woman. For the years busi ness, says, will need 160 acres of land, at $25.00 per acre; two teams, imple ments, two sows, two cows, hay, grain, provisions, taxes, doctor, blacksmith bills etc., all making at a fair valuation a total of $5,239.00.

We would have figured that thus, 1914.00 523 C $o90.10 as wages for three men, wife and one boy if we could pay the years expenses as he did, sini- ly wttn interest on tne money investea. lut we have found by bitter experience that it takes cash to pay the expenses on a farm, for seed, store bill, for doo tor and blai ksmith bill, taxes, eto , and prefer to count the interest (if we get any) as income instead of expenses. A man could not make a success oi any business, not even banking if he ran around as brother Miller suggests, and borrowed his entire capital slock on tne creditor his fj lends, paying from one to three per cent per month. Further, two of these men ougnt to seek other employment.as one man and a boy could give two teams all they could do and raise as much as indicated in the statement. Several of my neigh bors hive beat that single-handed. He ought to keep twenty head of young steers on what wss wasted, i. t straw and stalks, and fed twenty morr, and fed at least fifty head of hogs in stead of selling corn at twenty cents. The writer was raised on a farm and has farmed for himself on a homestead, seven miles from Gibbon for seven years, voted the independent ticket two years, kept account of receipts five years and of expenses two years.

The Holland cities are the cleanest in the world. The Hague, a city of perhaps 100,000 inhabitants, is bo thoroughly clean that everything shines. Not one speck of dirt is al lowed to soil a building and every street is so thoroughly washed and ;3 swept that one hesitates to walk too ' AAaiilAaolit An thnm It I'flM mrt Anri 1 wi if from 8 to 9:30 o'clock the servants are seen engaged in a general scrub bing and cleaning operation. They scrub the doors, the porches, the front steps, . the front woodwork and wash the sidewalks. Companies engage to wash windows by the month and their men are iwen with force pumps all over the cities washing ths Eanes and giving the front of each ouse a thorough shower bath; this is not periodical, but it is done every morning, and not at an occasional house, but everywhere. And then you ought to see a Dutch kitchen! This is a genuine treat. I was enabled to see several; not in homes of wealthy, but in ordinary dwellings. The floor is paved with stone, mar ble or granite, and is so cls.in that you conld eat your meals off of it with a relish. The walls are covered With, snow-white tiling, which shines like lamp reflections. The ceiling is hard wood, painted and varnished, and it is as lustrous in its way as the walls. The stove is generally in a re cess. Lace or snow-white linen is hung from this alcove. Imagine it, kitchen stove behind lace or linen lambrequins. The kitchen utensils are in pantries which have hangings of neat stuff of different sorts; the sinks, brasses, cocks, in faet all the metal work that is visible, is so Tol ished that it clows like burnished steel. One enjoys a meal prepared in such a kitchen. Such habits of course pro duce tli rut. A lady told me she paid her cook ten florins, $1, a month, and out of this pittance she had managed to save enough to accumulate a neat little nest egg at a bank to prepare wedding outfit, In cold weather the Hollander blankets his cows and their stables are as clean as their kitchens One stable I saw had sawdust piled to form pretty little figures; the stalls were bof dered with fringe of braided straw, and neat little curtains hung at the entrance, and by the proper use of disinfectants and thorough, careful cleansing the odor was the perfume of hay, and not a suggestion of stable smell could be detected.

A boycott Is a hateful thing, but there are times when it is not only right, but highly commendable and necessary. Such, a necessity is now forced upon the farmers and laborers of the country by tho action of the political press. If the political press was engaged in a fair discussion of the demands ot the people, and was disposed to truthfully report the suc cessive steps in the forward movement of the great industrial army, the peo ple might let It go on its way; but since it has nothing but ridicule to offer in opposition to the demands. and nothing but lies, systematic, will ful and malicious, in its columns in regard to the course and strength of the movement and the action ot the loaders it has become not qnly right, but an imperative duty on the part of every farmer and laborer to curtail, so far as in him lies, the circulation of this inimical press. Go about it symtematicsHy. Discuss it in your sub-Alliances, and lodges, and unions. Find out who is taking and reading the weekly editions of the metropoli tan press, and show him that he, if he is an Alllanceman or a reformer, is a traitor to his ewn cause in furnishing the sinews of war to his enemies. A farmer has little of the true spirit of manhood in him that subscribes and pays for a paper having in its columns nothing but ridicule and taunt for his class, and malicious lies about his ef forts to achieve independence of pluto cratic rule, Don't let the lying sheets cross the thresholds of your homos, no matter what the name or where published. Plutocracy, owns the po litical press of the country and Is using its tremendous power to crush out the liberties of the people. You remember the Hazzard circular. The venal press has always been the will ing tool of financial tyrants, and its power to mould the opinion of the people nas been used by them most effectively. Therefore let every farm er and laborer go to work to break down the political press that is fight ing us, and strive to extend the circu lation of the reform press that is working for our interests "without money and without price." The Economist A Dlag-raeeful Scramble. Republican papers have engaged in much criticism of office seeking in the People's party. Their columns have been filled to overflowing with ac counts of the great number of men who are anxious to sacrifice them selves upon the altar of their country. We would suggest that they now give apppropriate notice of the senatorial campaign a short time ago in To peka. The lifeless body of the late stricken Senator was not cold until the politicians began to assemble in this city to manipulate the wires, nnd negotiate the trades by which his suc cessor was to secure hi? so at A more disgraceful scramble was never wit nessed. It would seem that in a case of this kind, common decency and a respect for the family of the deceased senator should have prevented the ex hibition that has been witnessed in the past few days; but decency among Republican politicians is an urtknown quantity. 'Jialk of ruining the credit ot the state! If its credit can with stand the reproach merited by the acts of the Republican politicians, it will withstand anything that is likely to occur.
