falling a Stamp.
How many' people know how to xsail
a stamp in a letter? Ninev people out
of ten stick it so carefully down that
the recipient always loses his temper,
and generally the stamp, in the effort
to release it. It is really more exas
perating than when th 2 sender forgets
altogether the stamp he should have
enclosed, for then, at least, it is not
wasted. Even the most extravagant
of us seldom have souls above saving
a stamp, for it is, strangely, far dearer
to ts than the 2 cents it represents.
The tenth person sends it loose, which
is well enough, provided it docs not
slip out unseen and vanish, as these
totally depraved small things have a
habit of doing. The proper way is a
simple one. Cut with a sharp pen knife
two parallel slits at the top of your let
ter and slip in your stamps, which will
SpringMakes MeTired
To many eople Spring1 and its duties
mean an aching' head, tired limbs, and
throbbing nerves. Just as the milder
weather conies, the strength begins to
wane, and "that tired feeling' is the
complaint of all.
The reason for this condition is
found ill the deficient quality of the
Mood. During- the winter, owing to
various causes, the blood becomes
loaded with impurities and loses its
nchness and vitality. Consequently,
an soon as the bracing effect of cold
air is lost, there is lansjour and lack of
energy. The cure will be fouud in
purifying and enriching the blood.
Hood's Sarsaparilla is the greatest
and bast spring medicine, because it is
the greatest and best blood purifier.
It overcomes that tired feeling because

O tivailahle for the
markets of the next few mdnths. The
short corn crop of last year is no doubt
to a considerable extent responsible tor
the shortage of good cattle at present,
but aside from this there are Indica
tions that the turn of the long lane
of depression in the beef industry has
been reached at last. The "cattle fam
ine" so often prophesied and never real
ized may not be upon us, but there
seems to be such a shortage in the
number of beef cattle as to promise fair
prices for some time to come under
normal conditions as to consumption
of beef. Not for many years has there
been such a feeling of confidence
among beef makers as at present,
though prices a couple of years ago
were almost as high as now.
Breeders of pure bred cattle have
had a rough road to travel for come
years, but those now in position to
supply the demand for good stock will
probably get the reward they deserve
for sticking to their business. There
has been during the past decade a
great sacrifice of breeding herds all
over the country, especially east of the
Mississippi, where the dairy breeds
have been pushed forward. Of the
many choice beef herds of the Ohio val
ley ten or twenty years ago few re
main, and there has been no induce
ment for new breeders to enter the
field. Should the promise of returning
prosperity for the beef producer be ful
filled there will be a vast Increase In
the demand for pure bred stock, which
Is already active, and a shortage In the
supply of good pure bred beef cattle
Is not improbable under these circum
stances. National Stockman.
Wheat Fed to Stock.
Chas. L. Hyde, of Dakota, has sent
out the following circular on the
amount of wheat fed to stock within
recent months. The Farmers Review
does not vouch for the figures, nor has
it any opinion to express on their ap
proximate accuracy. We reproduce
them merely as the opinion of one man.
We do not even know the source of his
estimates. The circular is as below:
I submit below an estimate of the
wheat fed to live stock in the United
States from July 1, 1894, to April 1,
1893, compiled from extensive returns
from farmers, live stock breeders and
feeders and grain dealers covering the
entire country. These returns have
been received during the latter half of
March, and the final figures have been
compiled as conservatively as the re
ports received would uossibly warrant
Bushels.

produced 100,000,000 less and Nebraska
140,000,000 less of corn in 1894 than in
1893. Over much of the United States
during the last eight months corn has
been worth more pound for pound than
wheat. It is our personal opinion that

ltnya Leaving Houe.
I claim that large farms, with only
two or three to work them, is the rea
son in half the cases. Work commences
from the 1st of April, and from that
time until the last of November there
is nothing but work from 5 o'clock in
the morning until 8 o'clock at night,
holidays being unnoticed. As the
spring rolls by the work is getting
gradually behind, and the weeds have
got such a start in the cornfield that it
is beyond cultivation. Then father
scolds and tells how other boys would
work, and of course this causes a ha
tred against their fathar, and matters
scon become worse. Nearly all trades
men work ten hours a day, but the
farmer claims he does the same. Still
from one to two hours before 7 o'clock
in the morning and the same after
supper you never see them unless they
are doing chores of some kind. Of
course they do not count chores work.
Hard working farmers generally work
about fourteen hours a day. The boys
as soon as the work is over for the day
go to bed; no time to read to exercise
their brain faculties, for if they did
they couldn't stand the work. I have
known boys and men to work so hard
that they were used up with rheuma
tism or some other disease by working
on rainy days" and overdoing them
selves when they were just in the prime
of life. Which is the best, money or
health? The boys never look for any
money, for it is paid out for interest
if there is a mortgage on the Dlace. and
if not it is hoarded up. I believe in i
working enough land to keep you in ,
Dnnfl ItnnWI. mm.1 X..... X ... I
b uiui, auu uuve iwo or mree
hours each day to read the latest ideas
on growing crops, fine stock, and give
the boys a little more chance. The
farmer who has a small farm today
clear of debt has the finest occupation
in the world. It is the healthiest work,
and you can have everything you wiah
nearly.
Cattle Scarce on the Uange.
A report from South Dakota says:
Parties representing Omaha, Sioux
City, and Chicago packers and live
stock dealers are making inquiries as
to the number of fat cattle on ranches
along the Missouri river and on the
fcioux reservation. The drought last
season spoiled much pasture and gen
erally lessened the supply of beef cat

Keeiliiiff Wheut lo Horncs.
D. M'Naught, a veterinary surgeon
addressing a farmers' convention in
Manitoba, said that some authorities
regard wheat as injurious when fed to
horses freely. But his experience dis
proves this, as in the years when that
section had large quantities of frozen
wheat almost every one fed more or
less wheat to save their oats, which
were fit for sale, and thousands of ani
mals were fed wholly on wheat with
out any bad effect. Most people began
feeding in small quantities at first,
but they gradually increased the al
lowance until a pailful of frozen wheat
was fed to a good large farm horse
three times a day, with no bad results.
In his judgment, however, the best food
for general purposes available in Man
itoba, is oats. But most people are in
clined to feed their horses too many
oats and not give them sufficient varie
ty. They will give them hay and oats for
363 days in the year and think they
have done their whole duty. As well
ask a man to live On salt pork and po
tatoes three times a day from year's
end to year's end and nothing else, and
expect him to remain healthy.
The Supply of Cattle. It will take
fhe years at least to work the
cattle supply up to where tLcro
will be overproduction. In the
meantime values will be high and
when the supply exceeds the demand,
with resultant lower values, the cattle
man who always succeeds, will have
sold out to barely a remnant. This his
tory of production of all the commodi
ties is one ad the same. When from
either overproduction or undercon
sumption, the amount produced was
more than the co&imercial or natural
demand, values have gone down and
the increased accumulations have been
sacrificed in order that other branches
of industry could be pursued, but as a
rule where this changing policy has
been followed little money has been
made. To the man who diversifies his
minor productions and makes a spe
cialty of some one of the many
branches of industrial labor, will the
most good result. Texas Live Stock

expresses his opinion of sacaline: "The
sacaline plant does grow 011 our cam
pus. It grows eight to twelve feet
high in a year, but it has never been
experimented with as a fodder plant,
nor do I believe it ever will be succes
cessful in that direction. Prof. Han
sen of this college, who traveled in
Russia last summer, consulted Prof.
Williams of the Agricultural College
of Moscow concerning it. They had
grown it there and tried to feed it, but
the principal difficulty was the cattle
would not eat it. There is so much
talk about it that we will do some ex
perimenting with it next summer. But
I have no hope whatever of being able
to add it to our list of forage plants."
We again advise to let it alone.
Green Onions for the Market It is
not anything and everything in this

onions, and those that do are particular.
Very small green onions do not sell,
neither do very large, coarse, strong
onions. It is only medium size, young
and tender onions that are wanted. The
onion part should be clean and white,
with the first outer coating carefully
removed. The tops should remain on

Walnut Trees If young farmers
would set out plenty of trees they
would have a large fortune in old age.
An acre of walnut trees is worth $io6
at ten years old, and if properly taken
care of and fires always kept out, they
will pay $10 to $20 per year for a' hun

worth $1,000 per acre. Can they be
equaled in any way? No planting, no

a question that is
engaging the seri
ous attention of
the Irish farmer,
writes Prof. Car
roll in the Dairy
World (London).
Doubtless the ques
tion is important,
hear such re
calves are dying
and when
marks as
by the score in my district," "'Separ
ated milk is worse than water for
calves," and so on, there must be some
grounds for consideration, as to wheth
er separated milk is really the worth
less stuff that same persons believe it
to be. It is not alone in Ireland that
the use of separated milk for calf and
pig feeding is decried. In England a
slight murmur of disapproval is raised.
In America the believers and the unbe
llevers are endeavoring to press their
very different opinions upon the ques
tion. It appears to me that if It can be
shown in a certain district there are
fifty farmers who use separated milk
for calf feeding, and that of these fifty,
forty-five are unsuccessful in raising
their calves, and that five farmers
raise their calves fairly well and with
profit, it proves that there must be
something beyond mere good luck that
brings success to thd five farmers;
An American farmer writes: "Again
and again in my experjence as a
breeder of Holsteins. for the last ten
years or since the introduction of sep

Above cut and following description
are reproduced for the Farmers' Re
view from the French of Ad. Benion.
The illustration is of a cock nnd pul
lets of the Yokohama breed, and was
sketched from nature in the "Jardin
d'Acclimatation," Paris. The long tail
of the cock is supposed to be the result
of long years of mechanical effort and
selection by the Japanese. The me
chanical effort consists in tying heavy
was practically impossible to raise
even good scrub calves on separated
milk. Finding no great trouble my
self with raising the best of breeding
stock on separated milk has led me
to look into the matter, until I find that
our creameries in order 10 avoid the
expense of a man to measure out the
skim milk, and at the same time satis
fy the greed of those patrons vho are
eternally trying to get something for
nothing run a hose each to the separ
ator and the water tank, and run both
with the same pump. This is the prac
tice that has given separated milk a
bad name, and justly so. for the mix
ture is practically worthless." Here is
a case where adulteration had every
responsibility for non-success in feed
ing calves upon separated milk.
In considering the claims made for !
sop iratcd milk as a food it must be
remembered that the most enthusiastic
ol its supporters do not attempt to set
forth that it is a perfect food material.
t is a substance from which a very
valuable ingredient has been almost
wholly abstracted. This being so we
1 must see the condition to which we
nfve Isrought our separated milk and
the measures to which we must resort
cither for the purpose of restoring
something equal to what we have taken
away, or for the purpose of devising
a system of feeding that will compen
sate in the altered character of the
other animal matter have been re
moved. Butter fat is supposed to be
one of the most digestible of all fats.
The necessity for fat in food is not a
settled question, but there is every
reason for belief in the theory that fat
is extremely useful, and is probably
a necessary ingredient in the food of
young animals. Dr. Pavey says: "It
exerts a favorable influence over the
assimilation of nitrogenous matter and
the process of tissue formation and nu
trition, and it may be said that there
is strong reason to believe that the as
sociation of a certain amount of fatty
matter with the carbo-hydrates is prob
ably necessary for the maintenance of
the organism of perfect health. The
belief is further entertained that its
deficiency is sometimes the source of
the developments of the tuberculous
diathesis." We may therefore take it
that it is advisable that there should
be fat contained in the milk that is 1
supplied to young animals.
As regards the other animal matter
that has been removed from mechanic
ally separated milk, it has been sug
gested that in the slimy matter that is
found attached to the bowl of the sep
arator, after a quantity of milk is run
through it, there may be some sub
slsnc that is necessary for digestion,
and that probably it is owing to the
want of this substance in separated
milk that calves do not thrive upon
such milk. The processes of digestion
are very intricate, and small quanti
ties of matter appear to have consid-
able influence over this very mysteri
ous process; vet I cannot think that ,
the matter that adheres to the bowl of
the separator in cream separation is .
in wliole or in part necessary for the 1
digestion of milk when it is used for '
fn.nl An investigation into the inllu-
ence of this matter upon food
would be an interesting study, and
might form a subject for experiment.
The La Fleclie.
This breed, which is not very largely
kept, is of French origin, and not very
neat in appearance, being tall and
rather gaunt, says Bell's Mesesnger. It
has not any crest whatever, but a
crv peculiar comb consisting of two
horn - shaped serrations which stand up
The birds have a red
cn lIie "C'1U
face and long wattles, and white ear-
lobes. Their plumage is a very glossy
green, and carriage upright. Their legs
are dark, with four toes on each foot,
and quite free from leg feathering.
Now as regards their qualities .they
are splendid table birds, and in France
are thought a great deal of for this
purpose. Their flesh is beautifully
white and juicy and of good flavor.
Some people like them better than any
other breed for eating. They have
black legs, which of eourse are against
them as market fowls. They frequent
'i aAt.a'n very great weights. They are

Houdans; in fact, they are far behind
them in this respect, and in all proba
bility this is the secret of their being
so little sought after by English poul
try keepers. Fortunately, the day has
I passed when poultry keepers went in
for feather and beautiful carriage ouly.
We advocate the most beautiful breed
that can be produced, provided th
birds combine good laying qualitiei
with their fine plumage. It can be and,

sure that they are good layers. An
other great drawback with this breed
Is that they are very difficult to rear as
chickens. They are not hardy, and
heed a great deal of attentidd, besides
which they do hot mature quickly.
From this it wilt be seen that this

Illinois Filled Cheese In London.
Home and Foreign Produce ex

London Bridge, S. E., England.
To the Governor, Senate and Assembly
of the State of Illinois. U. S. A.:
A question of vital importance to
the interest of the cheesemaking indus
try of your state has for some time past
been receiving the serious attention of
the London Provision trade, viz: the
importation from your state of imita
tion or filled cheese made Of a mixture
of foreign, fat and poor skim milk
curd. This article1 has none of the
properties of cheese, as the added fat
merely disguises the poverty of the
curd, and rapidly becomes fancld and
offensive. By reason of the difficulty of
detection fiom outward appearances,
unscrupolus dealers here are pushing
it into consumption as genuine, with
the result that a very grave taint is
being attached to all cheese cdming
from Illinois, and consumers generally
will be predjudiced against cheese as
an article of food. This matter is of
so serious import to your farmers as
it is most desirable that the good name
df Illinois cheese should remain unsul
lied. The trade here, therefore most re
spectfully urge your senate to legislate
this matter without delay, and in such
a way as will stop the manufacture of
the spurious article altogether. Such
action will at once remove all suspicion
attaching to importations from your
weights to the tails of young cocks aa
they rest on the roosts. Those whose
tails were elongated by this manner
were chosen for breeders, and so on.
The breasts of these fowls are red. with
white spots. The upper part of the
wings and the face are red, the tail o!
a greenish hue, the comb double, the
wattles short, the feathers of the neck
long and streaked with red. Farmers'

H.v Much Butter Can He .Made or .Milk?
Time does not permit me to go into
details to show the reason, but much
investigation has demonstrated the fact
that for each pound of fat in milk one
should make about one and one-eighth
pounds, or one pound two ounces of
butter. To find out how much butter
should be made from 100 pounds of
milk, multiply the per cent of fat in
milk by one and one-eighth. For ex
ample: From 100 pounds of milk con
taining 3 per cent of fat, we should
make about three pounds six ounces
of butter; from 100 pounds of milk con
taining 4 per cent of fat. four and one
half pounds of butter; from 100 pounds
5 per cent fat. five pounds ten ounces
ounces of butter, etc. Suppose, in mak
ing butter, we get more or less than
the calculated yield. How shall we ex
plain this? If less than the calculated
amount of butter is made, the decrease
must be due to one or both of two
causes. First, excessive loss of fat in
skim milk and buttermilk; and second,
the working or pressing out of ton
much water. If more butter is made
than the rule calls for, then it is due to
the fact that a fair amount of mois
ture has been left in the butter, caused
by unfavorable conditions of churning
or by insufficient working. These facts
enable the butter maker to find out
whether he is making mistakes in his
work, and whether he is getting the
best resu,ts in butteryield. Cor.Amer

The Farm Dairy. Which is better
for every farmer to have a small dairy
connected with his farm, or for the
whole industry to be carried on bv
men that devote their whole efforts to
dairying? The question perhaps is
not an open one, as the farmer natural
ly falls into keeping a few cows with
out anyone suggesting it. But these
few poor and poorly kept cows can not
be fairly called a farm dairy, in the
usual acceptation of the term. By a
farm dairy we mean enough cows, and
good ones, to warrant having proper
appliances ior tne work, such as a milk
ho,Ise and small separator. Certain-
"' e-er wei1 ordered farm should have
a wel1 ordered dairy, with cows that
are carefully selected, carefully tested
"IU """""J uauuieu. a goou sizeu
dairy is needed both to make handling
tne products advantageous, and also
to produce a large quantity of manure
for the farm. It seems to be obvious
that a dairy of this kind on many
farms will be more advantageous to
the community in general than fewer
but larger dairies.
Tomatoes for the Market. Do not
pick them too ripe nor too green. All
should be about the same for ripeness,
or some will rot before the others will
ripen. When coming from long dis
tances the' ought to be packed when
they begin to color, and when nearer to
market they should be ripe. Pack in
four basket crates, and pack them as
tight as possible, so that they will not
shake and become bruised. Ship them
of good even size, which will assist the
selling materially.
Tomato Soup. Fry ,two good-sized
white onions to a golden brown in two
ounces of butter, add a couple of ounces
of raw ham, two large carrots, one gal
lon can of tomatoes, two quarts of
good broth, two small garlics, four bay
leaves, a pinch of thyme, salt, and
black and cayenne pepper to taste. Let
this cook slowly for two hours; press
through a sieve, remove the fat. Then
put in two heaping tablespoonfuls of
bot riee which has been separately
cooked for the purpose, aud serve. Th
above is for ten people.

Albany Times Union: A story is told
of a judge who lately had the hypnotic
plea raised before him by a burglar.
The prisoner claimed that he did not
know that he was "burgling:"' that he
did it automatically and unconsciously
under the direction of a hypnotist.
The judge said he would give him the
full benefit of the law. and also of his
hypnotic misfortune. He therefore sen
tenced the man to ten years in the
state prison, but told him he could, if
lie chose, send for the hypnotist and
have himself made unconscious for the
term of his imprisonment.
"The same power.' said the judge.
"which enabled you to commit the bur-'
glary, and not know it. ought also to
enable you to suffer imprisonment with
hard labor and not be aware of it. Ati
