LABOR FROM YOUTH TO OLD AGE Poverty of the Farmers Trades The Great Incubus , the Ant y , the Fine ArtH , Itcscrvctl I'or the Kloli. Aliicrlcrtn Fanners' OeiHlctncit. Western Agriculturist : Hogs anil licop uro honied in common by some Id iitul decrepit mini , who gets for his 'alimblo ' services nbout ? ! ( ) each your. man servant receives the muniliccnt urn of $10 to $00 n year.and a woman , if icnrly us stout as a 111:111 : , half as much , 'ho American would think that , as orvants are so cheap , everybody could lire ii few. Well , if the fnrmcr only itul any money , lie might do so. After the boy gets out of school , at 10 age of 111 or 11 , ho is put out to learn trade. Every boy who has any sense vlmtover must learn borne Idnd of trade , n-ovided , of course , his father is able o pay some muster for leaching him lis trade. lie is bound to the trade 'or about three yetu-H , and in homo cases for u longer period. It will be mticcd that the boy must pay the mas ter who teaches him his trade a ecr- iiin sum of money ; the price in rogu- . tiled by law and custom. Wlulo loaming - ing the trade the boy also does the chores around the houe and makes iiimself ganerally useful. This i- . done to give the boy a little pleasure and varies the monotony. After his time is up ho generally goeb on the tramp and perfects himself. This period varies very much , but ho earns ju&l about enough to live. About this time ho is drafted into the great incubus , the army , and very few escape this service , and "none if in good physical condition and of fair men tal standard. He must serve three years and is then sent home on a fur lough , which may expire any time , lie remains in reality a soldier until lie is forty-live years of ago , and after that he belongs to the homo guard. Ho usually marries after ho has passed his lirst term of service. The girls of Iho family help the old folks at homo , and if there are more than are actually needed for home work they too sock service in some family whore they inuv make themselves use ful in household duties , making hay , etc. etc.What do our American boys and girls think of this treatment ? The study of music and other line arts is reserved for the sons and daughters of the nobil ity and to the rich city people. The farmers need no special education ; it is of but little use to them. Wo came near forgetting that the wood which is used by the farmer is uch as the people in this country burn is trash in the open liolUs. The boys are required when herding the cattle to pick U ] ) such dead limbs as they find in Lhoir wanderings , and bundle them to gether and carry them homo. If ono makes a mistake and gets upon govern ment ground , and carelessly abstracts an armful , and the forester catches him the penalty is $5 or more , and this a country where money is so scarce that n whole innric , " 5 cents , makes the boy rich. Altogether , wo may say to the ( life- contented farmer in America , sell a head or two of your slock , or u liltlo ol your abundance of grain or other pro- ilucts , and visit your brotlior farmer in Europe. Take our word for it , you will not stay or become enchanted with his condition. Wo will give you just ono month to live there , under the same circumstances , nnd you will return to your own native land , ami bless your Creator that you are again in God'e land. It is almost superfluous to explain why this condition exists. The agri culturist in foreign lands , no matter how intelligent , diligent or persever ing ho may bo , has no chance lo become independent or rich. Ho may work until his death with all possible skill and endurance the enormous taxes and limited area will "keep his nose to the grindstone" all the days of his life. Another cause is that much of the time is wasted. Their tools arc ineffective and poor. They are constnnlly placed at a great dibiulvanlngo by having thoii necks in Iho yoke. The farmer over yonder can have but little ambition , lie works exactly ns did his father be fore him. Beyond the superficial edu cation ho gels _ in his youth ho has nc opporlunilies to acquire any knowl edge. Where wo have in this country n hun dred live anilvo \ \ edited newspapers which uro specially devoted to agricul ture in all its branches. Ihoro are per haps a do/.cn pancrs issued on the othoi side devoted to such purposes. But fe\\ of them are intended for the every duj farmer. These journals are published for the farmers who nro very wealthy , nnd nro rend by a few only. In America wo have lots of first-class , practical far mers' paporb , all of them cheap , ant certainly within the means of the vorj poorosl. Even the city newspapers these that are not devoted exclusively to agriculture , have n special " depart ment devoted lo it , and "all recognize the importance of the farming industry Wo venture to assort that there is not s paper as gc-od ns the Western Agricul turist published in all of Europe. Whir is true of this class of journals is oquallj applicable to all other newspapers is sued in the Uniled Slates. This is the only country in the world with perhaps Australia oxcoptcd , where the farmer isrocognizod upon hispropoi merit. Here ho is a gentleman who ii entitled to rank among the noblest o God's creatures , the one who feeds tin nation , and upon whom the strength o the nation rest. In foreign lands ho i only the tiller of the Eoil , with no ain in life to innko himself the equal o these loss lilted to till the u.\altc ( stations. The American farmer' chances to become the ruler of th < groalcbt nation on earth are justasgooi as those of the ono who is born with i " . " "golden spoon. There are these who como to thii country from other lands , and decry am belittle us and our methods. Thesi possess no gratitude. If thcso ver ; people live there , they would bo the uri nappicst creatures in existence. Ni doubt it sounds big to hear one of then say that they raise lifty and sixt ; bushels of wheat totho aero in their mi live land , but they forgot to toll hov much toil and care it took to do it They most either do it or starve. Thoi forget to tell that it took all of thoii family , even the little children am wives and daughters , to put the grouni into proper condition , sow the seed , am tlnally gather and thresh it in the mos laborious manner , yet they cun get bu n trillo of it for their own comfort. I is after ull sold to get the money to pa ; taxes , etc. Compare with this the average farmo in this country. He does not got E much wheat from each acre as the other but he has more land , which require but little labor , and certainly not tliu of tender women and children. Ho has - informed himself about the most im proved methods and machinery to gather nls crops and thresh it , and ho eats bread made from line whcnt as the richest noble in other countries. Ho feeds his caltlolthas good , if not bettor , grain than the for- ign farmers must live on. Our far- lor's clothes are as line and as well jiiulo as those of the city genllonmn. lo lives in n holler house , has an .bundanco of overylhing , and regards , s common necessaries llioso things vhich his brother farmer in Europe , hnks ! luxuries. The farmer's chil dren are educated in all things. They read the newspapers , which are in this country most important akls in cilucn- ion. Ills taxes are light and are only iollccted for his own and his children's comfort and' safety. The American woman is a' woman in all her beauty mil accomplishments , not a drudge , as is her foreign sister , who is considered only lit to labor In the Molds , and of ivlioin it may be said : "Man workb "rom sun to sun , but woman's work is icvpr done. " Evcrv farmer in these great United States is a man , with his will and con science free and unfeltutPil , frco to liink and do as it pleases hit'i , within the law. No woman bore is a slave , who s compelled to drag out a miserable ex- stence in drudgery. She is truly the inan's boiler half and helpmate. Kin- s thereby enabled to live longer and nero comfortably than thosu of other jlimcs. Improved Stock on Farm. Western Agriculturalist : The im provement in sheep , both as to mutton mil wool , is equally startling. Our native sheep as a rule were small and scrawny creatures , who o carcass , ne.it , ilid not average over 100 pounds of coarse and unsavory meat. Our im proved Shopshircs average 1200 pounds of mutton at two years of ago ; Oxford. 1M" > pounds : Cbtswolds , fully 50 ! ( ) pounds ; while the litllo Merino , as improved by American breeders , gives as high as eighty-live and 100 pounds , all of juicy and savory meat , and always in great demand at the block. Our gain in llecco has equaled that of car cass. The wools of our nalivo sheep were coarse and poor , weighing from live pounds to its high as eight pounds per liecce , and are rated very low in the markets to-day when ottered for 5ale. Our improved Merinos now shear is high as fourteen pounds ; our Shrop- shires , eight to ton pounds and higher ; our Cotswnldb , from twelve to seven teen pounds ; while the Southdown , a strictly mutlon sheep , as improved , shears' llecco weighing from six to ton pounds , all of the .very best and most .nltiblp . wood. While our improvements have been truly wonderful in our horses , cattle mil sheep , it is still greater in our swine , so much so that the old razor backed "hazel splitter" hogs of former times and those of our improved breeds can scarcely bo said to belong to the same race of animalThey were great , gauntlong-nosed creatures , upon whoso bones not an ounce of fat could 1)0 hud until fully grown , and then only at the cost of a small fortune of corn , Healthy ; ' Well , yes , rather too healthy ! So healthy that it took u regiment of whooping , yelping dogs and men to got them within range of the frying pan. Of our improved breeds a pig can bo kept builable for marKet or meat from weaning time until full grown. Being quiet and closely built , a great deal lets feed will fallen them than the na tive , while if allowed to become as old , they mnko quite as largo hogs. While our loss is much larger by disease , due somewhat lo our increased number , it is principally our own fault , and is _ well made up for in the much quicker response to food and care and economy in the bamb. The Breeding of Sheep. Western Agriculturist : The success ful sheep breeders of the world are these who have bred for wool or mut ton , and while not ignoring the other product of their Hock , have only de pended upon it as a supplement to their profit. Hence wo say the way of safety is in the way in which the general far mer had better travel , and leave exper iments for specialists to try. Jt is an old saying that "the sire is the half of the flock or hnrd. " It may be said just as truly th it the dams are the other half. So the sheep breeder should secure the best owes ho can af ford , of the typo ho has selected to breed , and lot him bear in mind that ho cannot nltord to breed from inferior uwos , oven if ho can get thorn for u very low price. Above all the foundation stock should bo uniform. The difference of even hundreds of dollars in Iho price of a good or inferior Hock of breeding owosSnny bo made or lost on the first crop of lambs , not to speak of succeeding crops ; and when wo como to breed the next generation , Iho charac ter of the parents is even more clearly indicated than in the first crossand the average farmer can scarcely oxpcet to live long enough to breed out all the blood of nn inferior foundation slock. If then the owes should bo the best that the breeder can alTord to own , how much more important that the ram should excel in Ihecharaclorislics which ho wishes to impress upon the fiock. Just iipro many breeders make a mis take in selecting a ram. Ho should bear in mind that the offspring will usually bo a compromise of characlor- istics botweom the sire and dam , and ho need not expect to have his lambs just like the siro. In line wool sheep especially , young breeders are apt to se lect n ram with a owo's fleece , and pos sibly with n feminine appearance , be cause the llcoco is just what ho wants on his lambsand because Iho ram is smooth and looks about like his ideal of the sheep ho wishes lo raise. Thousands of breed ers are making Ibis mistake every year , and are disappoinled because they have never learned to receive the old maxim that "like produces like" in a modified souse that is , it produce like , but only in a degree. Our doctrine is then , thai for the breeder of line wool sheep the ram should bo largo , strong and vigor ous , with n masculine appearance , and carry a lleeco of three to four limes Ihc weight you expect to sheer from your lambs , it they are bred from grade owes. If mutlon is Iho object , Ihon Iho ram should excel in the characteristics ol the breed ho belongs to , in the same de gree as the fine wool ram. Wo have thus far said nothing about the ram being pure bred , of whatever breed ho is. If there are any who have not yet learned the llmt lesson in stock breeding , to thorn wo can give no ad vice , for I have never yet learned tc even guess what the offspring of grade sires may bo. Having secured as nearly as possible what the breeder wishes as the parent stock , both ram and owes should bo in vigorous healthbut not really fat at the time of breeding. As the time of gesta- Uon in owes is about five months , everyone ono can select for himself the time he wishes lo have his lambs dropncd. This , ns well as all Iho details of sheep breed- ingmustdopond upon the circumstance : and surroundings of each breeder. If ho has comfortable sheds nnil n good supply of early cut , well cured clover luiv , and has determined that ho will give his sheep close attention , re gardless of his own casoearly lambs arc moat profitable. In our locality ( south Ponnnylvanlfroni ! ) the middle of February to the middle of March is about right for mutton lambs , and from ho tlrst of March till the last of that month will bo nbout right for stock sheep. If on the other hand the breeder has lo keen his sccop in poor fcheds or tone at ail. or if he thinks more of his iwn case than ho does of his block , ho mil holler not have His lambs dropped until later in the spring , when nature vill holi ) the owe to take care of her amb. There are several reasons why early breeding is advantageous , among vhich nro : 1. The ram will be able to got a greater number of owes with lamb , and itill the last lamb will not bo too Into , ns s often the case with Inlo breeding. U. A good hourly owe , if well fed and hollered will on dry feed give milk enough for n young lamb , and it will take it all , and thus keep uptho natural How ; and when put upon grass , the milk will increase , and the lamb having ige , is able lo use it profitably , and none be left over in the udder lo check the secretion afterward. I ! . If a lamb dies the owe will dry off readily without much injury. 1. The early lambs may bo weaned much earlier in the season , and thus trivc .ho owes a chance to got in good condition b.-foro winter. ii. The early lamb will winter better , and shear from one to two pounds more wool and will usually mnko n larger sheop. While these and other arguments may be made in favor of early breeding , still , as has already been intimated , un less the breeder is well prepared to take care of hi" lambs and determined totnko care of them , he had betler .vnit until the sun shines and the grass grows to have his lambs dropped. Whatever lime the owes are bred , it will pay to give the owes , and especially ' pecially 'the ram. a little grain every day. If the r.im is caught nnil fed a little tlo wheat from the hand n few time , ho will soon learn to come lo you for his feed , winch may bo increased up to half a pint at a feed. With n young ram it is best to divide Iho ewes into Iwo lots , and change the ram so that ho will be \\ithcnchllocknltcrniito days. After the breeding season is over , it is better to t-iko Iho ram from Hie owes alto gether. Until within a week of lambing time Iho owes should bo kept in good , thrifty condition , having plenty of liny or fodder der and not too much grain ; with pure air and water , with their will at salt , and have an opportunity to exorcise every day. About a week before lambing time , the grain should be in- crcaseil sliirhtly by degrees. A mixture of equal pnrls of oats , corn and bran is the best feed at this time. When the lamb is being dropped , es pecially if the weather is bad , the brooder will have use for all the pa tience and common son&o ho has. Some owes may not own their lambs , when it will bo necessary to shut her up out of sight of other sheep , if possible. Sonic may not have mill ; enough , when it will become nore-ssnry to feed the lamb some milk from n fresh cow. The best way to do this , if the cows teat is not too largo , is to hold the ; lamb up and lot it suek directly from the cow , which it will sco i learn to do. Some lambs may got chilled when they mti'-tbc be brought to the house , and if nearly chilled to death , they should bo put into a buc ket ofuttor at about blood heat , adding n arm water ns it cools. All of the--o , and other little incidents , may occur in the experience of the sheep brooder ; but if ho means business , and regards the interest of his Hock more than his own ease , ho can by patience and com mon sons-o bo prepared to meet them , and usually bo successful. As soon as the owe and lamb are both satisfied with the now relation and doing right they should bo placed in a separate nppnrtment , not only for the conven ience of the shepherd , but for the gooti of both sheep and lambs. The suckling ewes need more grain and loss excrciso than the ewes with lamb. If there is not grass , the owes and lambs should have soft feed composed of ground corn and oats , with branand a little oil meal will bo a great advantage. Of course , it is understood that young lambs should never bo exposed to cold or wet ; es pecially is this the case if they do not have abundance of milk. Having the lambs well started , the great labor of the breeder is over , but as constant vigilance is the price of everything valuable , the sheep breeder cannot afford to relax his attention , but should see his Hook every day. and thus bo able to moot any mishap which may occur. As already intimated the man who means business will read , think and make inquiries , and to the ono who wishes to learn , the sources of informa tion are numerous. After all , in the hnrd school of experience in this busi ness ns well as others.o lonrn the best lessons. Our suggestions in brief are : 1. The successful breeder muat love his bussiiess. - . Ho should select his typo of n sheep and breed to it. : ! . The special purpose sheep has been most profitable. 1. The owes should bo uniform and the bust ho can allord. r > . The ram should bo pure bred and excel in valuable points. (1. ( Early breeding is most profitable ii circumstances permit. 7. Constant vigilance and care is Iho price of wool and lambs. 8. The live man will inform himself , prove all things , and hold fast to that which is good. W. W. IIUXTKK. BUITALO , PA. Saving Corn Fodder. Last ycnr it certainly paid to snvo the fodder , as hay was scarce and high. This year there is plenty of excellent hay , and many farmers will go back to the old way because il is easier. There are olhers who may seriously question whether it pays lo save fodder in ordi nary years. Such may bo glad to hear the opinion of careful anil competent men , who base their conclusions upon trials , not upon gtiaas work. The local ity has some ofTcctt and , allowing for that , will give n fiiir.statomont. Professor HenryT'fs vys it pays. Here are some of his claims : "If" the corn fodder of the west wore properly saved economically handled and judiciously fed , in ten years lime it would pay oil every fair morlgago in the Mississippi valley. There are nbout ono and two- fiflhs acres of corn fodder now growing for every head of tatllo in the Unitei Slalos. So large an nmoun of foeil wnbled Is only possible in the United Slates. " „ President Chamberlain says : "The corn plant has two halves of equal value the ear and the fodder. To save onlj the ear is to snvo only half the value o the crop. " Weight of Cattle. An English paper says the heaviest animal whoso live weight hits boon sat isfactorily authenticated was the Hereford - ford bull Colmoro (870) ( ) , winner of first prize in the ngod clnss nt the first R. A. S. E. show at Oxford in 1839. Cotmoro's live weight when nine years old was itf cwt.or 3.020 pounds , and his girth U feet 8 inches. Wo have never read ol this weight being exceeded , though this bull had n half brother named Hope (339) ( ) , by Byron (440) ( ) , cnlycd same yenr , that weighed 84 cwt.
