Ihng 1:1 some ucnse growing crop rghum. sowed coni or rape 1 . Somewhere in this country, perhaps on some poor farm where the father wrestles with a sterile soil ami discour aging conditions, there is growing up a little towheaded, barefooted boy, get ting his education partly at the little red schcolhouse and more by using bright eyes and sharp cars as he drives the cows from the pasture, goes hunt ing and trapping in the woods and looks for birds’ nests ‘in the orchard and hedgerow, who will 50 years hence be the president of this great republic. Another such boy now herding cattle on some western plain will ride over the country in his special car as the president of some big line of railway, while another one will be hanging on to the brake beam of a freight car as a tramp. It all depends on the boy. ' ABLIsHED 1853. § oo rs, Sash and Bu m D _ ^ Mill Work g-W^. , OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.

WCOLSON SPICE CO., TOLEDO, OHIO. A man's credit is worth somethin? to him, no matter how poor he may be. We know of men not worth $100 whose credit of a Bradstreet’s rating should be Al, for should they owe a cent they could not sleep until the debt was paid. Then there are others not built that way. You know ’em. • The lacteal functions of the cow are very closely allied with her nervous system, and so it very naturally fol lows that anything which excites or frightens her also seriously deranges her milk supply. We know of one very successful dairyman who will never allow a stranger to speak a loud word in his cow barn when the cows are in it. The hereditary antipathies of ani mals and birds are very marked. These antipathies are very noticeable be tweeu dogs and cats. Dogs and all ani mals with cloven hoofs, birds and cats, hawks, eagles and owls are feared b nearly all other birds, while birds an animals alike, with few exceptions, ar sworn enemies of the snake. The kin bird fights the crow and hawk on sight while the entire tribe of rodents ar instinctively afraid of the dog and cat family. Most of these antipathies ar inbred as a result of the habit of one type preying upon the other for food There is but little fraternity between different species of wild life, but little of the “happy family business,” the community of interests between the owl, prairie dog and rattlesnake bein the most prominent one. A GENERAL MIGRATION. Not since the west was first settled has there been such a general migra tiou of the people in search of new homes as this spring. Illinois and Wisconsin farmers have been selling the old homesteads in those states and moving to Iowa. Kansas and Nebraska and have bought cheaper but equally good farms. The Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska man, after selling out, has gone to the Dakotas, northern Minne sota or the so'uthwcst country, he also doubling the number of his acres the newer country. Many farmers well fixed have gone to the Pacific coast, where they will seek homes in the milder and more equable climate of that territory. It has been with farm lands just as it always is with any other commodity—when the price be- ran to advance then everybody want ed to buy. The movement has been entirely healthful and normal in its type and free from any speculative fea ture. A man is never poor when he has good health, .the ability to cat three square meals a day and is the owner of a home never so humble and out of debt. If in that home, there be those who love him and lock for his eoinius when the toil of the day is ended, then is he rich, possessor of treasures wh the millionaire cannot purchase if lie be denied them.

An old plum tree is not a good subject for grafting, and we would rather take our chances with new and young trees of the variety desired Still, it may be done by grafting or better yet, by budding, working only r part of the tree each year until it is re built. This work can he done during the month of Mav. CONSOLIDATING COUNTRY SCHOOLS. The question of consolidating the country schools is one which is being much discussed in all the western states. We think that a mistake is be ing made in clamoring for the adoption of a general and forced move on this line. The fact will ever remain that there is no better school in America than the one in the little country school- house where from 10 to 25 children can be gathered to be taught by some bright woman, and wherever schools of this size and character can bo main tained the consolidated school is not needed. But in those districts where the daily attendance runs from three to ten children it is probable the sys tem of consolidation could be used to advantage. Thus it will come that such consolidation cannot be made compul sory and arbitrary, but must be option al aud voluntary, the aetion taken be ing governed by purely local conditions. ^Tnwmm oon V iMHyLkj Mill I u u i! b if if y If if Manilla, turers (High Grade.)

AUGUST RATIONS FOR THE COW. It is the time right now to hedge against that common sight in August of a bunch of dairy cows standing fighting dies on some knoll in a bare and brown pasture, shrinking in their milk yieid day by day. It is probably true that cows are far better fed in winter on the average dairy farm than they are in summer save for a matter of six weeks or two months in May and June. Some sort of a soiling crop must be had to tide the cows over the dry -midsummer period, and probably nothing is more easily provided or will give better results than sweet corn so planted that it may be cut and liberal ly fed during such period. While not perfect milk making ration, it still can be so easily furnished by the aver age dairyman that there is no excuse for not having it.

The contest between the spring and the winter seasons is always marked more violence than that between the winter and autumn seasons. Win ter may be likened to an enemy secure ly fortified, and each attack made be comes a bard fight between the ele ments, and so the season becomes pro lific in storm, flood and tempestuous winds, while the autumn change may be likened to the lying down to die of an old man whose work is ended and whose end is peaceful and serene, the passing of the autumnal days and the merging of the season into winter be ing a quiet and peaceful change. Men will still keep on sowing clover this spring on rich land with a crop of oats when more than one-half the time of such sewing of clover seed is foreor dained to be an utter failure, the heavy oats insuring such a delicate and fee ble growth of the clover that it dies, and at once, when the oat crop is re moved and it is exposed to the heat of the August sun. The surest way to get a stand of clover is to sow it alone and pasture the field. The next surest is to sow it on winter rye. The poorest Ls to sow it with oats. If the difficulty connected with secur ing competent hired help on the farm, coupled with the high wages demand ed. results in reducing the size of the. farms, which it is likely to do, it will result in good. Large farms aggregat ing from SCO to 1,000 acres are a seri ous barrier in the way of the best de velopment of any country community, resulting in few settlers, fewer chil dren, poor schools and a lack of social privileges. We regard it as fortunate that but few men are able to make large farms pay, and many who have been able to do so when laud was cheap will find it impossible to do so now that farm lauds are worth $50 an acre aud over almost anywhere in the country. Here is another inquiry—how to get rid of purslane in the garden. Purslane is akin to original sin and never can be entirely got rid of. It will somehow crop up in the good man’s garden, just as some besetting sin will sometimes crop out in his moral life. Purslane likes only good soils, and this explains why it is such a garden pest, gardens being usually heavily fertilized.
