FARM and CROPS SUGGESTIONS FOR THE ; UP-TO-DATE AGRICULTURIST Dodder, a Farm Pest. podder Is the worst, the most wide ly distributed and the most rapidly in- crenshift plant P araaltc which we have 1 thP United States. In Europe It is looked upon by farmers with such fofl r that dodder infested seed Is prac- tically unsalable—Indiana Former. Silo, an Investment. The silo preserves corn fodder in tuch a condition that it is palatable and stock are eager for It at all times. This, in itself, slgnifles its quality ami profits, for stock cannot help do- l ng W ell If properly fed a feed that they relish. One can raise a large amount of feed of this kind upon an acre of normal land, located In a sec tion of country where corn can be raised. A farmer who keeps, say ten or twelve cows and upward, cannot make a better or sorer investment than to build a silo, and he had bet ter pay a high rate of Interest, If necessary, than do without one.— Farmer's Home Journal. Beginners With Sheep. Some good advice to those who pro pose to found a flock, Is given in the following from the Shepherd’s Crlte- ; rion: Without nnv knowledge of sheep ft Is very plain that one has to loam if be engages in business, if one has no opportunity to learn from some old and experienced shepherd, we know of better way than to learn from the ihcCp. By observation an Intelligent person will soon learn their habits and will nil the better knew how to manage them, by beginning with a few Inexpensive sheep one will he able to bring the business up, and should a loss come it will not be so great as when high-priced sheep are bought. The beginner should never make the mistake of using a grade or a scrub ram In breeding. A pure-bred ram is always advisable, and by obtaining good ones the flock will soon bb pure bred to all Intents and purposes. If. alter several years’ experience has been obtained, some registered ewes are wanted the shepherd will be in a better position to buy them than he woold have been in the beginning. a bushel, is hardly In keeping with my Ideas of good horse sense.—U C. Brown, in the Indiana Farmer. Fish Do Not Hear. Much controversy has taken place on the question of sense of hearing in flsh, and many experiments have been tried with a view of settling it. Some of the latest of these are those of which M. Marage has given an ac count in the Paris Comtes Rendus. The fish experimented with were carp, tench, pike, eel and others, and the author finds no evidence of a sense of hearing. Sounds were trans mitted into the water close to the fish with an energy capable of affect ing deaf mutes. No effect was pro duced on the fish. SyrmriFios Avery & Company \ J R fl SUCCESSORS TO AVPDV Se Mr-Ml I I AN Luxirsfoetina Late Hatching for Breeders. | Occasionally fault is found with a paper because it-gives information which some readers think so well known that space should not be tak en up with it. Nevertheless, not every one is posted on even the first princi ples of poultry breeding, as was re cently demonstrated to us by a cus tomer for eggs, says Wallace’s Farmer. This customer, a man past Eixty, who hinl grown chickens on the farm most of his life, found time hanging heavi ly on ills hands in town and decided to go into the chicken business. His reading determined him on buying pure bred stock, so lie started out tbo first of August on a quest for eggs for hatching his breeding stock for the coming spring. Naturally we discour aged using such immature stock for breeders, explaining that it would be Quite sure to disappoint him in the !ong run, and that even pure breeds could not be expected to do service in the breeding pen six months after hatching. However, he was not con vinced, and will start hiR incubator in September, mate males and females, from the same hatch for breeding Pens, and if he don't make money from his matings he will doubtless blame the stock. Cattle breeders would not think of risking a season's work with immature stock; a breeder who de pended on nine to twelve months old hdfers to raise him a thrifty herd of cattle would be laughed at. It is finite as impossible for immature chickens to breed strong stock aa for Immature cattle. The Livestock Breeder. The stock owner, just as much as the manufacturer, has to study care fully the requirements of his best cus tomers, if his object is to procure the best financial results possible. Con sequently it is the buyer rather than the breeder who controls popular fashion in type and pedigree. The breeder who has pronounced tastes as to symmetry and character in his animals, n»d slavish preferences for certain strains of blood, may by care ful selection succeed in gratifying his own ambition; but if his, operations result In the production of a class that will command a limited and unre- munerative market he reaps no very tangible reward for his labors. On the other hand, the stock owner who carefully studies the require ments and tastes of the best class of customers, and in practice gives dis creet priority to them, obtains returns that are at once gratifying and sub stantial. It Is the duty and ought to be the chief aim of a stock owner to produce the class of animal that is in demand, and broadly speaking, the measure of financial success he a- chieves will vary In accordance with his attainments in approximating tho popular Ideal. While It Is necessary to the achieve ment of success that prominent con siderations should he given to the preferences of buyers In respect to type and blood, It can hardly be ar gued tliut breeders ought wholly to subordinate their own Ideas as to what constitutes the highest standard of merit in the breed or breeds of animals they support. Least of all should they sink their own opinions in order to benefit by any inflated market based upon fancy or fashion. In farm livestock, especially, fancies and fashions are exceedingly fickle, as many a stock owner knows to his cost. In the final outcome, probably a larg er number have suffered financial loss than have netted monetary gain front u passing boom. Some would go as far as to say that every en hanced market which is not based upon street utility foundations is of short duration, and productive of in jurious results. This may convey a slightly exaggerated idea of the outcome of what are commonly known as booms, but there Is no doubt that anything of the nature of a boom has to lie regarded with suspicion and care. There are some who think that breed ers of certain classes of stock over step the bounds of prudence in cater ing for the tustes of certain markets, but so far the predicted evil conse quences do not seem to he within measurable distance. The saving qual ity in connection with the export mar kets Is the fact that the preferences of buyers for export are founded main ly upon utility considerations of the highest order. It is not fancy but use fulness that weighs with them. Their ideas as to what constitutes the high est degree of utility may differ from those of our breeders, just as the opin ions of a dairy farmer will differ from those of the grazier respecting the best type of Shorthorn, hut there is some thing tangible and enduring in the class of stock they select and there fore, in breeding for the export mar ket, stock owners are reaping a hand some reward without sacrificing the usefulness of their herds for home pur poses. Within reasonable limits the primary object of a stock owner should be to breed the class of animal that will sell to the best advantage.—W. R. Gilbert, In the Tribune Farmer. Dangerous Sense of Humor. G-eorge G. Morton, a machlnest re siding on Russell street, has many sore ribs, and all because he laughed too heartily. He was thoroughly en joying a Joke played on a coniradJ with garden hose, and as he watched the sport from a window he laughed with great gusto, so much so that he was seized with pains and had to be helped to a seat. A medical man was called and found that he had fractured a rib and had torn away part of the lining about another rib. —Bermuda Royal Gazette. acts gently yet prompt ly on the bowels, cleanses the system ej|ectually, assists one in overcoming habitual constipation permanently.

"About four years ago 1 wa* afflicted with black splotches all over my face and s few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irri’alien, and which caused me a great deal of suffering, to such an ex tent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of . After a thor ough examination of the dreaded eomplaint they announced it to he skin eczemn in its worst form. Their treatment did me no good. Finally 1 became despondent and de cided to discontinue their services. Then my husband purchased a Bingle act of the Cuti- enra Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cliticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch wns entirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago. Mra. Lizzie E.

No good farmer can afford to keep scrubs; In the end they cost more every time. Every farmer who works as much as twenty-five acres ought to keep at least three pure bred sows. Prairie hay when fed with corn alone to fattening cattle gives small and unsatisfactory {Tains and little or no profit. Tho dairy bull should be fed like a working horse and snoulil receive plenty of exercise. Work him in a tread power. The milking is one of the most im portant parts of the dairy business. The cows should be milked qulckij, clean and dry. Since grain has gone up there has been a thinning of the poultry Hock on many a farm with the object of cutting down the grain bills. Treat your help as you would like to be treated, and in nine cases out of ten there will be no trouble and each will win the respect of the other. Keep a record of the breeding ot each cow, so you will know when she iy due to calve, and then allow her to go dry six weeks before calving. Save good seed. The extra yield from good seed is like that much gold poured down in your fields, it costs you nothirtfc but the extra expense of carrying it home.
