PolnurHealth ntoU Kaeipaa, Wanted car of bright, clean cloyer hay. Wanted A sound, gentle and perfectly safe saddle horse. These two advertisementi &t the head of column in a current issue of a farm journal greet the eye of every reader, and yet the habit is to lay aside the paper and talk: of overproduction. "Bright, clean tlover hay!" Thero ia no overproduction vi that article, and probably never will be. it it wanted bo badly that a would-be buyer has to pay to advertise his want. And yet this country produces a wonderful amount of hay. What is the matter? Eimply this: Ninety per cent, of Ui are growing weeds with our clover, or elee we have not mastered the art of curing it. It la true that the weather may be unfavortble, but four years out of five pood hay ran be made, if intelligence and energy are used. At tha proper time Tin Sentinel Farmer wishes to cay some things about handling clover, but now u pressInj; home the foct that tho market is not fully supplied with the farmers' products. "A sound, gentle and perfectly safe faddie horte." How many cf us can supply this one's want? The country is full of Lorres of all color?, sizes and gaits. We eontmoo to produce a mo d irre 1 lot. and prices continue to decline, but it ia eafe to say that a good i rice ava;ts the man who can supply a saddle hcr.o that is sound end izentle and eafe. The requirements may bo hib, tut no greater than anyone who is wi.Iir.g to inveet his money should bo expected to make. A eaddle horse shoud be sound, it should be gnt!e, and it should be perfectly safe. It is the businea ot farmers and Modernen to supply such demands, and it is a sad fact that ery few cf the vast number cf heroes we put upon the market are tcr:ectiy sound, frentlt, salo and well-gaited or traiued. Hut are these all the wants of consumers? Is there not an insufficient supply of the beat grades in nearly ail lines? These two "wants" are given here as illustrations of thoa-Jtnds oi others, both pub- j Tithed and unpublished. I Some may say that if a part of the producers supply the best grades all the time, that the other who undertake to market common stuff will not be able to live, and that if all improve the quality of their product the old condition of overproduction will still exist. The first proposition may be true, but the latter is not. When qunlity is improved, more is continued. "When fruit is choice and fresh, tonaiiinptio-.i is increased. If sound and yentle horses were plenty, more would be kept, and more hay consumed by the increased nutnber. However, as individuals, we need not Voubie ourselves about the futcro ?o long 3 there is a present demand unsupplied. The room ia at the ton. In other occupations men are making money by supplying our wants a little better than their jempetitors are able to do. In farming tooney is being made by a few in the same ray. The opportunities are not bo great s could be wished, but they are here. It la a good time for each one lo resolve to embrace them. VKtrvifTv Farai Fnpori Xo. 3. I?r Dnr'd. The advocates of epecialty farming prelent some good arguments in favor of ccn-5oin-.r their efforts to the production cf the ne thinz that seems to pay them best, but I think diversified farming pays me heat. A a I have said, potatoes are my Vst paving crop, apparently, but I need ilcver Holds for potatoes, and 1 need w heat nd oats for seeding to clover. Then my best potatoes grow cn fields manured from iheep stables in which clover hay and kran is fed, so it pays roe to have breeding ewes and raise early lambs for city markets. As I have some land especially adapted to blue grass, or June prasa, pasture, the sheep pay, and help to make potatoes pay. From farm mares two or three colts can be raised each year, and they work the traw into manure. The oil meal, oats and bran I feed with the straw make the manure rich in the elements that bring a rood crop of wheat, and ensure s heavy growth of clover. Corn ia needed f '-r tho stock, including some hogs that live on clover in the summer. Some mangolds and turnips are needed for winter feeding. So the reader can see that many kinds of products seem to combine to make each other profitable on Fairview farm. There is another reason for diversified farming. When the teuton in mv locality is very unfavorable tor one product end thera is such an excess in other regions that prices are low, my income ia not so badly crippled as it would be if that on 3 product was my sole dependence. It is better to do a safe business. The outlook for horses is not vry bright just Dow, and I thl breed a less number, and, if necessary, rot more of the straw in the manure baein and plow under more clover without cutting the hay, bat I do not want to quit raising colt, as it pays to raise one's own horses and replace' the older horses before they begin to break down. I think success for most of ns lies in mixed farming, watching to put the strongest effort on the one or two of the most promising crops. When sheep get very low it pays to increase the flock a little and nr. ah the limbs into the' market early, as many get disgusted and drop out of the business. So with hogs and horses. Of w heat, clover and potatoes, we cannot vary the acreage much, as rotation should te followed. It ia the same with the orchard. We plant and wait for the fruit crop, and then must take the markets as we find them. But while the price of farm products is not hizh,' I think mixed farming pays when practiced the very best one knows how. In my next paper I will peak oi raising corn. Sma fig: When hog3 were allowed to obtain their living on the commons and in the woods early maturity was not a matter of touch consideration. People have now learned that the greatest profits in pork production comes from the first half year of a pig's life. It ha been learned by ex periment that a pig weighing 200 pounds can be prodneed more cheamy per pound than one weighing above that figure. This is not done, however, bv so dwarfinz a shote that it oniv weieht 200 pounds when it is twelve months old, but it is by a vigorous pushing of the pig from time of birth until marketed. A neighbor of the writer baa recently sold ' some seven-xnonths-ol 1 pies that average 2."0 pounds, thus considerably exceeding a gain of cne Jtound a day, but this gain isextraordinarr or a common farmer. A gain of one pound per day ia very satisfactory, but notbiug l(8i should be so. In order to reach the early fall market when prices are always fairly good, pis Children Cry fcr

should come by tho. 1st of March. If proper quarters are furnished tho brood , sows there is ems.ll ritk to the litter. :

Much of tho disappointments frr in early litters is due to the mother before farrowing. Too much corn is fed, and the animals are constipated. There is no better frw-wl fn tKb Krkjk.l slit.im Ihn wint. ! . . . vi nw. v.l.. iiik ...v. ...w.w. saaeon than mangold wurtzels; they are nourishing and laxative and good for milk production. If no roots are at hand, slops should be iriven in abundance to both bow and pigs. Ground corn, oats, bran and oil meal should be used, and should be given swe t. it is a great mistake to believe that hops, nnliko h1 other animals, thrive best on spoiled food. The chief production of summer pork requires plenty of good pasture, clover being preferred. Graes supplemented by grain will produce a 2iX)-pound hog for market before the usual heavy run breaks prices about the 1st of October. Start the pigs right and push them, if you woutd mako any money by the production of pork. Import nt rnta Ahnat Plowing;. The following summary of the taore important points noted in trials of plows by aid of a dynamometer or draft-tester will be found valuable to overy farm reader: 1. Sulky plows draw easier down hill and much harder up nill than walking plows. 2. The sulky plcw draws harder than the walking plow, but only very slightly when properly adjusted. 3. Each inch of increase of soil tnrned, either in width or depth, does not cause an equal increude in draft. 4. Coulters increase draft of plows by somo 15 per cent. 5. Trucks or email wheels under the end of the plow-beams decrease draft by about 14 per cent. f. When the traces of harness are not in right line with the direction of draft of plow the draft of plow is increased. 7. A farrow of xl4 inches, on timothy sod, requires over 500 pounds of draft, or more than the normal pull of tbreo horses. 8. A loss of draft was found on a sulkv plow when its adjustment to take land was made from the polo. 9. A generally imperfectly adjusted plov drew 30 per cent, harder the.n one more perfectly adjusted without coulters and with trucks under tho beam. The croat. decrease of draft produced by tho truck under the beam is especially worthy of note. Coulters make a erious addition to tha draft. AU tefte emphasu the need cf perfect adjustment of every part. Such adjustment i. in tho interest of both team and plowman. Country liua.l. The present system of maintaining country roads ia not a good one. The state of the roads proves the truth of this statement The management is left in the hands of local communities, and they too often hand it over to some who have no other qualification than that they have no business cf their own to attend. Whila a road is free to every man in the United States, the cost of maintenance coojcs upon the tax-payers of the locality in which the road lies. The result is that the expense of maintenance is kept down to a minimum, and, worst of all, the taxes levied are placed often in the hands of incompetent men for expenditure. In fßet, it is doubtful whether competent men could be found in most communities, as road-making ia a science, and a roadmaster should be a master of it. Study and sound judgment are required in the application of labor to the public highway. A kind of information is needM that can be trotten be-t only in tochnical echoo's. With tho present svptem ot dirt roads farmers are falling behind in the ruhh of this rapid a?e. MileB no longer determine distance. Chicago is nearer New York City than the great majority of New York farmers. Within the ue.tt ten years we may expect to see a revolution in transportation through the country districts. The present dirt roads keep farm valuta down. Litt'e progress has been made in thee line, while the outside world has been moving at a rapid rate. A change for the belter must come ia oar country roads, ClaMrtnit L"nd of fttumpa. In this age of machinery it does not pay to leave stamps in the plowed fields. They mar the beauty of the land, but this is a small item compared with the loos in time, in land, and in breakage of machinery. Their removal need not be costly, and it ia strange that so many are left to rot down in their own good time. The expensive machines that are occasionally advertised are not at all necessary, and ia fact they are uuahle to handle the largest and deeply-rooted once. In case a field been cleared several yers the best plan ia to begin the work several months before the plowing season. A man with ax and mattock should cut and dig around each stump one foot deep, letting the 6un and air reach the wood underneath. One man can treat thirty or forty in this way in a day. It will be found "that quite a largo proportion of them ran be pried out with a lerer, or twisted out with a horse and chaiu and lever. The stumps that are too eo'id to yield to this treatment should be let stand to dry out. Altera few months tho stumps firBt pulled will be dry enough to lire the others with. If the etump is very large it should be shattered with Hercules powder, aa it will then burn more readily. Blowing out large stumpft with this powder is hardly advisable, for two reasons. A sufficiently large amount to throw thera out makes the expense heavy, and usually enough dirt comes out with it to leave a large cavity. On thin soi l this is very injurious, as too much of the top eoil ig lost in leveling. Fire i3 the cheapest spent, but it is important that the dirt be previously removed sufficiently to burn the stump several inches below the surface. Intelligent use of the lever, powder and firo will clear moet fields at moderate cost. Thk Sextikkl Farmer observed a man drive around six walnut stumps in a highly cultivated field for twenty-flye years. One afternoon he and his man wore led to test their permanency, and within threo hours had all of them out. This man had lost time and money and injured his machinery needlessly. So it ia on too many farms. The day of stumps is past; it went out when tho self-binder came in. p Corn mm a Farm Crop. We have no statistics giving the yield of pop-corn in the United fit&tes, but is probably much larger than the majority of people suppose. The most of it is grown in patches for local consumption, hut hundreds of car loads are hcndled by dealers every year. Iliinoid has furnished a great deal of this corn, one farmer, it is said, growing fifty acres every year. There is a good deal of profit in this crop when handled right, and some of our readers may find it well to go into the borinesii in a limited way. There are some drawbacks, an with all other crops, and they have titled to limit the production. lua corn must be kept one year in the crib, as it is unmarketable until it ia per fectly dry. Many havotnade the mUtake of shipping new corn to dealors. and as a result receired very little if anything for it. The crib must be absolutely moose proof, as staining nearly ruins it for use. Pltchcr'o Cactorlai

It is rather costly to husk and crib, as the ears are email and all silks ehould be removed. TtiM Kr.laaea f llat!n. Senator Stanford, the owner of the famous Palo Alto breeding ranch in California, believes that the winning trotter must bo bred from the runner. In spoakingof tho principles ou which he bos built up his great breeding stud, he Fays: "When I began breeding blooded horses I commenced studying tho anatomy of tho horse, until, at the end, I could take tho skeleton apart and put it together with the accuracy of a skilled watchmaker who deals with the mechanism of a timepiece. In my studies of the anatomy of tho horso I eoon discovered whore big f-reatest powers were, the use ho made of is muBcles, and the secret why one horso wus capable of greater speed than eome other horse. As I studied and pondered and experimented, as the years went bv I became imprefisod with the fact that the extreme speed came from from three things, viz: breeding, physical conformation and will power, or what ia moru commonly called nerve force. To begin with, it did not tak ro long to appreciate the fact that plug blood does not produce speed; hence, as soon as I was able to pull myself tozetber and fairly get my bearings, I began to lay deep the foundations of my breeding stud on an oriental baeis, and I am every year eliminating from my establishment, as fast as circumstances will permit, all traces of cold blood wherever it has crept in in the far pnat. But it must not be presumed that I am not extremely critical in the selection of thoroughbred roaren. I long since realized that there never was a really great horse that did not have a dam that also possonsed really great qualities. Our fathers, unfortunately ior the breed of American horses, arcued difierently. Thc-y held thrtt the eire was everything, the dam scarcely anything of value except to bear and suckle the foal. Xow, I early recognized the fallacy of the proposition, and in so doitig 1'nio Alto occupies the high rank it does a a breeding establirdiniunt. In selecting a thoroughbred breeding mar, I jndge largely by the shape of the head and the expression of the eve. If the head and the eye do not euit me, although the conformation and breeding may be pbrftct, I pass her by." ltxrtlth Ilm'. Poisor nc from Itaw Ham During the warm rias the temptation to eat raw ham is greatest of all it has a peculiar flavor that is iiiore grateful than that of other meats, and tenfold the danger lurks in its cool redness. Because it is more cerlaiu to poison than other meats, it should never bo used ucleiss conked well done; this can only be accomplished by frying: slow frying; if ham is thoroughly fried it is perfectly Eafe as a food, and all risks cf poisoning is reduced to nothing. The Spread of Contagion The need for eternal vigilance is urgent in homes and communities, where diseases like scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles and small-pox are raging. It eeems almost impossible to avoid "carrying the disease." The means for isolating a sick person are not many, especially among laboring people. What possible opportunity is there for separating a child from the remainder of the household when perhaps the entire family Ü7e in but ona or two rooms ? Suppose it is done the moment the whereabout of the disease is known (especially if it be scarlet fever or small-pox) the breadwinner dare not go to his workshop; days of work are lost; tho dollars to pay for food are stopped ; it requires no vivid pen to paint the distress which is bound to follow. The other children of the family are quarantined compelled to remain in the house with the disease, and "take it" in nine caes out of ten. In the homes of the wealthy the danger to the well memlers of the household is n! most as gTeat. It eeeuis as ii the beet and moet reliable way to prevent the spreading of any disease would be to place every ca?e of contngious disease in a hospital. Large cities could well afford to maintain several good hospitals for the reception of caoes having oontayious diseases. The expense of supporting such places would be cheap when compared with suffering eaved the entire community. Think of averting tho spread of un awful disease like scarlet fever think of the ruin and disaster it brings. A child may recover who twenty or thirty j'ears later wiil be found in an asylum for the inane ; his insanity caused br injury done to vital organs during an attack of 6carlet fever. The fact that insanity may result from scailet fever should alone be a sufficient reason for adopting the best means to prevent its spread. To Secure Sleep A medical writer offers eome excellent suggestions for poor sleepers: "Going to bed at a certain regular hour, be that what it may, is powerfully conducive to sleep, liabit here, as in other things, becomes as powerful. It is. too, advisable to have thoroughly done with the work of tho day some time before going to bed. If that work has been of a bodily description the rest will often be enough of itself. If ia has be, n head work, a change- is often best. For many individuals there in no preparation for sleep equal to a pipe and a novel. To others this would be poiaon. For refreshing sleep it is essential that the bedroom bo well ventilated, and many who make it a regular prnctico to sleep with the windows open find it of great value. Undoubtedly the refreshing nature of 6le3p is enhanced by frcdi air. Then, too, the bed should be in tho middle of the room, not in a corner of it. Ho curtain of any kind should surround it. Feather beds are an abomination. A good, firm mattress is best. The pillows should be adjusted to the bight ot the shoulders, so that when one lies in a natural poature on one side the head is in a line with the rest of the body, with the neck straight, not bent either opward or downward. "Above all, let me call your attention to an important fact which many people either out of ignorance or carele?nees, do not know. That is to eee that their entire

respiratory passages are in normal order or as close to it as possible. Many paople are found euftering from nasal, throat and bronchial afflictions, which can often bo relieved and sleep thus procured. "To many a 'nightcap' is essenlial, be it a glass of wine or a tumbler of grog. If indulged in with discretion there is nothing to be said against the practice, except this: Should the individual be so situated as to have to go without hit accustomed stimulant he will most probably pass a sleepless nizht. "The great thing in most cases to proenro sleep is to obtain ret of mind. To men of active brain this is sometimes sinpniarly ditiicult, and many plans have been proposed to overcome the dillicultv. They ell consist in this, in attending to something of absolutely no interest and which is of a dull uniform nature. Drugs often times are needful, but too dsnterous ever to be tried unless prescribed by a physician. Whatever, indeed, the form of error may be tne want or the excees of sleep relief by means of so-called sleeping draughts and the like is and must be only palliative. The one effectual means of cure in any case is no mere drug, but a method. It consists in the detection and removal of the source of mischief by a well considered tystein of treatment.". A Cheerful Sick Iloom Dr. C. W. Richardson in the coussa of a lecture on "Disease and How to Combat It," remarks as follows: "Still a custom prevails, de pile all our sanitary teachings, that the occupant of the sick room in the private house should be kept at all hours in a darkened room. Not one time in ten do we enter a lick room la the daytime to find it blessed with the liffht of the sun. Almost invaria

bly, before we can get a look at lbe face of tho patient, wo are obliged to reqnent that tho bdnda may bo drawn up, in order that the rays of a inu-h greater healer than the most able pyeician can ever hope to be may bo admitted. Too often the compliance with this request reveals a condition of rcom which, In a state of darkness, is almost inevitably one of disorder everywhere; foods, niedicines, furniture, bedding misplaced, dust and stray leavings in all directions. 'Ia brief, thero is nothing so bad as a dark sick-room ; it is as if the attendants were anticipating the death of the patient; and, if the reason for it bo asked, the answer is ns inconsistent as the act. The reason usually oflered is that the patient cannot boar the light; as though the light could not be cut on" from the patient by a curtain or screen, and as tbouh to darken one part of the room it wero necessary to darken the whole of it. The real reaeoni an old superstitious practice, which once prevailed lo intensely that the sick, suffering from the most terrible diseases, small-pox for instance, were shut up in darknets, their beds purroundsd with red curtains, during; the whole of their illnes. The red curtains are now pretty nearly given up, but the darkness ia still accredited with some tnveterioua curative virtue, "It is not only that dirt and disorder are results of darkness, a great remedy is lost. Suniitiht is the remedy lost, and the loss is momentous. Sunlight difl'ueed through a room warms ani clarifies the air. It has a direct influence on the minute erganio poison?, a distinctive influence which is most precious, and it has a cheerful elfect upon the mind. Theeick should never be gloomy, and in the presenca of the lifiht the shadows of gloom fly away. Happily the hospital ward, notwithstanding its many defects, and it has many, is so iar favored that it is blessed with the light of the eun whenever the sun shines. In private practice the same remedy ought to be extended to the patients of the household, and the first words of the physician or surgeon on enterin? tho jick room ehould bo the dyinz words of Osethe, Oloro light, more light 1'" Roip-.
