answers, and strikes as that few get
at the real farts. It is not unusual ft
the farm home to have several boys.

schools, and are a part of the family
usually till they are "of age." Aud
when the oldest is 21. he cannot as
sume charge of the farm. The father
is strong and vigorous, and a bevy of
Murdy sons are coming along to jelp
in the work. There is not land enough
to divide up and the liny at 21 ha
nothing but his farm education and a
full of clothes for his capital.. He
cannot for his own good 1 permit lei
to loaf around home, and there is no
need of his services as a hired in.in
He must go out Into the w orld of labor
and do something. If he has been giv
en a good education, he may see his
way to entering a profession, or a
trade, or he may And employment
somewhere in an industry. It may be
that he is content to become a farm
hand, work summers for small wages,
and do chores for his board in winter.

that he must take care of himself.
With no capital with which to buy
land, he naturally turns to some place
where he can sell bis lalior. Hence )i
turns his back on the farm, iiot be
cause he regards it as an inferior call
ing, but simply because there is no
chance for him. It is seldom that an
only son of a farmer refuses to staj
upon tbe farm, and this Is due more
to the opportunity given him for a col
lege education than because he re
gards fanning as lacking in dignity or
merit.
In a recent Issue of the Independeu
there was a novel bit of criticism that
makes interesting reading. An Amer
ican machinist who lives In England
was invited to criticize freely and hot)
estlv the Londoners and a Londoner
was given space to tell the worst he
knew about America. Virgil E. Ftack
house, American, dipped his pen In
vitriol and declared that the average
Londoner is a pitiful type of mankind.
He Is densely ignorant, and knows lit
tie else than to say "God save the
King" in season and out. His life Is
monotony intensified and education is
mostly gained in the public house
which are frequented by women and
children. Mr. Stackhouse sees nothinp
but mental and moral decay for tin.'

"stupid." Herbert W. Horwill, win

core, slobbered some when be tried to
find the great American fault. lie
says we feel too big and haven't a
proper sense of the fitness of things;
that we don't realize how inharmo
nious we are. This may mean a good
deal or It may mean nothing, but as
examples he found fault with the
spread of Christian Science and the
decorations at the funeral of Wm. Mc
Kinley. He also asserts that "When
discipline becomes less abhorrent to
the American mind, American life, so
cial and Intellectual, will become less
afflicted by the spirit of jerkiness." In
other words we are condemned for
being natural. We keep our feet on
the ground and our hearts In the right
place. Few of us wear a society mask,
and If we are raw and crude, we are
at least human. Mr. Horwill did a
poor Job at criticizing. If the worst
that the world can find to say of
America cuts no deeper than a sugges
tion that we don't know how to wear
our clothes or act when company
comes, there Is still hope for the laud
of the free.
Much has been heard of the life In
surance policy holder who dies unex
pectedly after paying a premium or
two, thereby netting to bis family
many thousands of dollars In return
for only a hundred or two paid In. He
Is a perennial figure and a rather fas
cinating one, for human nature Is such
that the pleasure of possibly getting
back f 10 for every one paid out Is held
to be almost qufie worth dying for.
In all seriousness, however, It Is one
of the most powerful arguments In fa
vor of Insurance that the chance of sud
den death Is robbed of some of Its ter
rors in the knowledge that the home
has been protected at a relatively small
outlay against penury. But there Is
now a later boast In connection with
life Insurance in the person of the aged
policy holder, who has been Insured
for half a century or so, Is glad to con
tinue paying premiums and finds com
pensation for the fact that he has not
gotten the best of tbe company In that

of his many fellow mem!ers who have

Cruelty to Cows.
Men may regard cattle as more ma
chines, but the fact remains that they
are of a sensitive organization, capa
ble of suffering and enjoyment, and
that to a degree too often lost sight
of. The idea that it Is Just as well
for a cow, either In point of comfort
or health, to be tied up six months
with no exercise, is contrary to all
physiological teaching; and that nutri
tious food, light and exercise are nec
essary to the maintenance of health
and a full development. Give cows
chance to go out In the sunlight of the
warm days in the winter and see bow
quickly they go and see the real en
joyment depicted on their expressive
faces. Even though the milk flow, may
be somewhat lessened, will not what
Is lost In quantity be made up In qual
ity? At any rate, 1 am sure I would
much rather eat dairy products of
strong, healthy cows than that of
ihuse weakened and enervated by
close confinement and unnatural food,
such as would In an exclusive diet of
corn meal. It is not necessary. In or
der to give them a little exercise and
sunlight to range over an extensive
area. Let them out In an ordinary
sized yard and they will not do trav
eling sufficient to waste any great
amount of energy. Farm, Stock and

Value of Ground Grains.
In feeding grain to stock of any kind,
there Is no doubt but what the best re
sults will come from feeding whole
grain pert of the time and ground grain
on alternate days. It Is known that
feeders In some sections object to the
feeding of ground products, but usual
ly because of tbe supposed expense of
grinding. True, Ibis Is considerable if
one has to pay for grinding, but In a
neighborhood where considerable stock
Is kept It will pay farmers to own a
machine In common, bnylng one with
a belt attachment so that an engine
may be used. I'sually any man owning
an engine will do the work for twenty
five cents an hour, and a hundred bush
els may be ground at small expense. In
the feeding of this ground product, one
must I guided by experience, but mix
tures of corn sn osts are generally de
sirable, while to still further vary the
ration, these grains may be fed separ
ately. This sort of feeding always gives
tbe best results snd st s cost compara
tively small. 8t Fsnl Dispatch.
The Seed ftapply.
No seedsmsn can guarantee an even
quality of all his aeeds every yesr. In
some, unfavorable growing seasons oc
cur; In others iasocts and fungus dis
eases assail the crops; In fact, there Is
not often a season when all seed crops
are both large and of prime quality.
Those who are Interested In cucumber
growing will ha surprised at the high
price they will hare to pay for cucum
ber seed this year; la Nebraska last
iwasoa, where immense crops of su
perior need are bow aaooally raised.

the crop wss sn entire failure snd the
crops elsewhere were variable. Of late
years Michigan has become one of tb
largest producers of seed peas, but tb
crop there last season was very short,
so that the cost of seed will be greater,
if anything, than in 1002. Some beans,
too, are scarce, the wax varieties par
tfeularly. There was only a moderate
crop of reliable seed of some sorts of
squash, that of the Hubbard being leva
than moderate. , The price pf onion
seed will be about the same, and cab
bage seed will be lower. No growei
should plant corn this year, at least
without first carefully testing it.' Id
many of the seed-growing sections the
crop had not tluis to mature promptly,
ami there will probably be consider

Weed Pecda in Grain.
Several hundred samples of timothy
alsike and red clover on sule by local
dealers In different provinces have
been analyzed at Ottawa, Ont. . In
some 10 to 30 per cent by weight of
sand was found; 63 per cent of the
wimples contained over two thousand
weed seeds per pound, 44 per cent ovei
five thousand and 25 per cent over ten
thousand. Not more than 2 per cent
of the samples were found free from
weed seeds. These facts are In lln
with a recent complaint from a Massa
chusetts farmer In regard to the rapid
spread on his farm of a "new weed
with white blossom and a hot, bitter
taste." Investigation showed the pre
eiue of wild carrot, that pest of the
bay field In so many localities. The
weed had first appeared in quantify
along the borders of a field of oats.
Better for the farmer to have paid
double price all lils life for the lcst
grade of seed oats from a reliable deal
er than to have Introduced such a
weed In cheap grain seed. It costs
more to raise pedigree seed and to
raise It on clean land, but the result
is worth the difference. Better rais
one's own seed grain on the farm than
to buy hap hazard at the store. Ma

Pi (Terence in Com,
In a herd of twelve cows, tested foi
three years In connection with the Wis
consin dairy school, tbe milk of on
cow was worth $110 more than tht
feed she ate, while that of five othei
cows added together only amounted te
$11 more than their feed. One cow
produced nearly as much profit as flv
cows In the same herd. The feed and
labor cost about the same for a poor
cow as for a good one, but what a dif
ference In the net results. The resulu
of actual weighing and tests of farm
herds In various dairy sections of thf
country Indicate that few herds exist
In which at least one cow In ten doct

happens that a cow, supposed by tb
owm-r to be fairly good, has proved
the poorest of the herd when her milk
Is weighed and tested for a year.

Advertiee lonr Good Thing;.
Study the pedigrees and breed lnti
popular lines as your experience lit
breeding and management Improves,
and a demand is developed for your
stock by judicious advertising. Soma
men pay big prices for breeding stock
and never advertise, says the Holstein
Frieslan Hegister. They sacrifice their
stock rather than pay out money for
advertising, while others with plainer
bred stock and liberal advertising will
get far better prices and greater de
mands. Ilairr Notes.
Milk of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long In milk, the butter
will i-ome slowly.
A little too much churning injure
the butter by destroying the grain.
Any impurities In the drinking water
are readily absorbed by the milk.
In profitable buttermaking it Is nl!
Important to suit your customers.
A little feed will often save a gooi
deal of time in milking a restless cow.
The growth of the heifer Is so much
deducted from what should go to milk
production.
A great jsiiut of value In a dairy cow
Is to have tbe milking habit firmly es
tabllsbcd.
Dairy farming, if rightly managed
may be the means of greatly Improv
ing ibe land.
It is useless to expect a great flow ol
milk from a cow that has only enough
feed to live upon. . . , .
Care should be taken never to over
work butter, so that the grain and tex
ture may be preserved.
The fact that a cow gives a larg
mess of milk need not Interfere with
her bringing a good calf.
The colder butter can be churne
the better, and the better It will stani
after It has been churned.
A good dairy cow should alwayi
have her good qualities perpetuated by
raising her beifer calves.
A stunted beifer will never make a
breeder of thrifty, quick maturlni
stock and will prove a failure.
The churn should never be AIM
more than half full, and then If tb
temperature Is right the bntter wIL
come.
Stone or cement troughs are better
than wooden ones for setting the milk
