The ‘‘Jeffer£on Club” banqueted at the Makeever House Tuesday evening at 9 o’clock, at which twenty men were present, including several honorary guests. Don Beam was toastmaster. Several good speeches were made by those present. Lonzo Healy played “The Jefferson Club Rag,” his own composition, on the piano after the banquet. A general good time is reported. Public Sales.

Big stock and implement sale; 38 head of horses, 62 head of hogs, 125 head of cattle. A lousy hen is always a poor layer. | Make the by-products of the dairy count Corn will make hens fat but it WITT not make them lay eggs. The better bred the horse is, the more generally useful he is. _ 'I For fall feeding of dairy cattle sweet cormis exceedingly valuable. The separator needs to be set perfectly level on a solid foundation. The feed bill of the poultry yard j can be cut in two if you know how. Continued care in handling the 1 dairy products is the price of success. I Thu value of silage as the cheapest and best succulent for cattle and hogs is fully established' Regularity in feeding and milking w|ll go a long ways towards making dairy work successful. All milk utensils should be heav- | ily tinned and as free from seams as it is possible to' get them. Many of the irregularities in the health of the farm stock can be traced to injudicious feeding.

Wooden pails readily absorb- milk particles, making it almost impossible to keep them sweet and clean. The hatching-egg trade and the raising of stick for breeders have assumed the dignity of specialties. It is to the poultryman’s interest 'to keep his stock up’ to the best type, healthy and vigorous all the time. A cold rain, fall or spring rain, will check the milk flow as much as a snow storm if, the cows are exposed. It will be noticed that though the prices of other farm stock are falling off, the dairy cow still holds her own. In hot Weather lice breed'in pigeon houses by the million and extra dare must be taken t;o keep down the ver-_ »in. , Rats in a pigeon house not only destroy the young but their presence frightens the birds so that they'will not thrive. If one has a large flock of sheep much time will be saved and better results obtained by the use of the machine clippers. Sheep are extremely nervous and when being fattened for market they must be quiet mad free from sudden alarm which will cause excitement. Pigeons hatched in March are matured and ready for breeding in July and if the surroundings are congenial will continue to breed every month thereafter. ,
