Tho Model Farm.
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

Their candidate for Governor is

‘I say, Puddv, that is the worst
