The Keota (Iown) Eagle has at last found a western man who is satisfied with a fifty-acre farm. His name is Artemns Fisher, and he lives one mile anil a half south of Koota. The Eagle tells tho story of hie-man ngement and of his success ns fol¬ lows : Ho keeps one team of horses, three first class milch cows, and a nice lit¬ tle drove of the best hogs. He milks his cows f ’t tile creamery, and they made him nearly $200 last, year ; will perhaps do better this year. He will soli $500Jworth of hogs this year and Lave thirty stackers to keep over. ITa has $200 worth of flaxseed to sell ; has an abundance of hay and grain to keep his stock iu first class condition during tho winter. He keops everything in apple-pie order about his farm ; his cows revel iu the clover up to their eyes ; ho at¬ tends to feeding, Wafeiihga.nl milk ;ng ns regularly as the clock strikes, hence he gets tho best results with tho least possible feed. L T e keeps Lis stock under cover and never al lows any animal to shivor m the fence earners. lie has a burn that is a modeljconveuieiioo and economy It is suow proof and as warm as the old kitchen. Ho has a first class so lection of fruit—not a large orchard, but a choice selection cf the varieties that thrive iiud'bear the best in this looality. Everything about the farm bears murks of intelligence, thrift and economy. Besides making a living for himself and the 'old lady,’ lie will sell at least $800 worth of i.tuff off his fifty acres this year, and riot lie exceeding former years eith¬ er. There is no rush or hurry about this model farm. Everything goes off quietly and regularly. The ex peases are very small and the gains sure. , Selecting; af'Horso. The Turf, Field and Far-a says : Iu buying a lior c, first look at his head and eyes for signs of intelli goute, temper, courage aud hsnesty. 11 bad qualities predominate in a horse, education only serves to en . largo and intensify thorn. The head is the. indicator of disposition, A square muzz’.o, with Urge nostrils, evidences an ample breathing appa i fttus and lung power. Noxt, see that he is well under the jowl, with j iw-bonns broad aud wide apart un¬ der the throttle. Brur.dtb and full tiess between ears and eyes arc al wavs desirable. The eyes should be full and hazel «in color, oars small and thiu and thrown well forward. Tho hox-so that turns his ears every now nnd then is not to ba trusted, H# is either n biter or a kicker, ami is sure to bo vicious in other respects, and, being naturally vicious, can never be trained to aaythiug well, aud so a horse with rounding nose, tapering forward, and u broad, full face below the eyes is always treacherous aud not to be de¬ pended on. Avoid the longlegged, stilted animal—always choosing one with a short, straight back aud rump, withers high aud shoulders sloping, well set back, nnd with a good depth of chest, fore legs short, hiad legs straight, with low down hook-short pastern j lints, and a roattd mulish-shaped foot. Keeping Eggs Fresh —I saw a very good anangement for keeping eggs ul a friend’s house a short time since, and it was so simple aud practicable that it ought to be generally known. Tt nas a set of four shelves, two feet long and eight inches wide, with a apace of five inches between them, made of hard wood planed, and three rows of round holes, bored with an inch augnr on each shelf, twelve in each row. One shelf would hold three dozen eggs. The eggs were set in with the small end down, so that the yolk could not settle against the shell. The lady said she had kept eggs six months in this manner perfectly sweet ; also that the free circulation of air around them was very important and there was no danger of cracking the shell. Does Pooltkv Pay V—If proper care is taken if poultry there is no doubt that it pays. We cannot expect to make any business profitable unless wa give it eur attention. A great tnrny people feed their poultry regu¬ larly, but neglect to give thorn drink, and iben say that it does not j ay t». keep poultry.. The best drink for ben? is sour milk, and if possible it should always b» kept by them. Scraps of meat, fish, skin, etc., are excellent fur frills. Do not feed on clear corn or meal, but vary their food as much a? possi¬ ble. In the summer feed onco a day, but in the winter give them a second feed just before they go on tho roost. Always give just wlmt they will eat up clean. Hons fed this way will lay all winter, if they are of the right brood. Valuable Recipes. Boston Brown Bread.—Two cups each corn meal, graham flour aud sour milk, 1 of molasses, 1 teaspoon soda, steam four hours. Corn Bread. —One pint meal, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 egg, pieco o: butter size ol an egg, 3 teaspoons baking powder sifted with the meal iiud flour, aud not quite 1 pint sweet milk. Seasoning Sausage Meat.—For ore hundred'pounds meat cse salt twelve ounces, pepper six ounces, sage four ounces. A milker should learn to milk quickly. Slow milking will spoil any now, and there is little doubt that many cows are made unprofitable by bad milkiug. As Boen as the flow of milk begins it should bo drawn us rapidly as possible. Stripping with finger and thumb is a bad practice, ami should bo unlearned at once,and tho whola Laud used to milk with. By persevering one will soon be able to milk very short teats if the hand is moderately small. The best milk ors have small jiliands ; strength ol wrist will come in time. “What are you doing there?” de¬ manded a policeman of a man who sat on a fence howling. “That feller in the house shot wiy dog because ho howled, and I’m carrying out the dog’s contract. I’m going to howl hero until I think tho dog’s death lias boon sufficiently avenged. If he shoots mo my son will howl out my contract, and if further harm should befall my family, my wife will corue out and howl till ho can’t rest. Oh, but we are bowlers.’ 1 ----—•»-• Not a chicken is to he found on Landreth’s groat seed farms. All tho tenants are forbidden tho privi logo of possessing a h«n. But guinea hens in large numbers are allowed access to all the fields, and are con¬ sidered tho best insectivorous fowl known. Thou too, they are not de¬ structive to the growing cr. ps. It is almost useless to try to fat¬ ten fowls that have their full liberty. They may ba in good condition, bat there is r.o excess of fat. Fowls are fattened quickest, easiest and cheap¬ est by putting them in coops and feeding with such food as will so oomplish tho purpose bust. A new Kentucky law is said to fix the legal distance batween a church and the nearest saloon at a mile. An old judge shook his Lead when be rtad the law, and solemnly said : ‘I’m afraid this leaves ni ghty few apots in K-ntucty where it will be lawful to build a ebi rch ■• — - There is a chance that the demo¬ crats will csri y Minnesota this fall: Their candidate for Governor is Adolph Bierman.a Norwegian.
