munds of his trade, and the capacity of his warehouse to store the goods. If he did not or could not do this he would find his trade falling' off, and customers leaving him until he might justly complain that his business was not profitable, and would not give him a comfortable support. But, says the American Cultivator, how many farmers follow this method? Bo they, when their cash in hand exceeds their expenses, invest it again in the business that they best understand, and strive to be limited only by the productive capacity of their land and stock, or do they place it in some savings bank, where there are high-salaried officials to guard it, and to invest it for them? Do they buy bonds and stocks and shares in various companies, of whose management they have neither knowledge nor share? Do they buy more land while that which they already own is only partially productive, because of insufficient expenditure of capital upon it? Do they expend it for showy residences, while their barns are inconvenient and unlit for the proper stabling of their stock? Do they buy fine buggies when they have not good working carts upon the farm, pianos when they have more need of plows, and cover their house floors with costly carpets, while their fields are barren from a lack of a sufficient covering of manure. Probably ery few farmers are guilty of all these mistakes in the use of their capital, and there are but few who are free from all of them or similar ones. It is true that the farmer and the farmer’s family should have a right to all the conveniences and many of the luxuries enjoyed by the successful merchant. ' v.^v. mt.v U. civur title to them i unless successful, and neither can at- 1 tain a high grade of success if he does ; not have sufficient capital in his busi- | ness to conduct it properly, and each should have a reserve fund in the bank for emergencies when he can. But he should use it when it will pay ! in the business an interest fourfold 1 that paid by the bank. When a thoroughbred or a high- ' grade cow will make a hundred dollars’ worth of butter in a year, and a scrub cow only makes forty dollars’ worth, while it costs but little more to feed one than the other, money , invested in improved breeds of cows, | or in a pure male from which to raise ‘ up a herd of grades, will pay better s returns to the dairymen than can be obtained from bank stock or rail- < road shares or Western farm mort- i gages. When a small extra investment in ( i better seeds and more liberal manor- i ing will increase the crop without increasing the labor of cultivation will < make an increase in the money re- ( turn four times as great as the expenditure: when better tools will save ( their cost in one season's labor, while j with care they will do good work for five or ten years, then is the time when the farmer can make money by spending money. I J When the expenditure of $2. or $35 1 per acre for tile drains will enable a 1 field that now yields less than $lO ■ worth of poor grass a season to produce $35 worth of the best, and lit it for the growth of any crop that will ’ yield profitable returns, it is economy < to spend money, and so it is when a similar sum or a smaller one will so i renovate an old pasture which now , < only feeds about one cow upon six , i acres, so that it will give more teed I and better tor six times Wat number, i 1 In short, every farmer should see j , for himself the manner in which he could improve his land, his buildings, animals, tools or methods of work-1 ing, so that a dollar invested will be I placed at a better rate of interest i than any one else will pay him for it. j If he doubles the producing capacity | of his land, it is better than it would | he to double the number of acres, i and if he spends his money judiciously, • and uses good judgment in managing ; his business afterward, he has not ; lost his money, but has changed an idle dollar that only earned 5 cents in a year for a lively one that will earn 25 cents. And when he has made such improvements that his business is up to its full capacity, or to the measure of his capacity as a manager, than he may indulge in the luxuries of life and may deliver over his surplus profits to the bankers and the speculators, to take care of or to lose for him as he may choose. LIVE STOCK. Feeding Pumpkins to Hogs. The National Stockman says: The farmer who is so fortunate as to have a good supply of pumpkins has a valuable food in them as a part ration for his fattening hogs. It is claimed by

some that hogs will fatten on them as their only food. We would not care to risk the statement so far as to ■ undertake to fit a lot of hogs for market with them. We would feed as many each day as the hogs would eat - up clean, and then give them all the i corn they would consume besides. - Young hogs with a ration of pumpkins each day will stand a much longer feeding on corn alone. There can be no doubt that the mixed ration will be much better assimilated than the corn when fed alone. It is a wasteful way of feeding, to throw out enough corn or pumpkins, or both at one time, to last the hogs two or three days. Their food should be given them sweet and clean, at least twice a day. Another plan of feeding pumpkins to hogs that has been found to produce excellent results, is to begin early in the fall, while the fattening hogs are in the pasture lots, give them all they will eat as the supply lasts, then begin with corn, Pumpkins alone will fatten hogs quite rapidly, but the pork from such feeding is soft and undesirable, and needs a finishing with corn to make it first-class. Pumpkins are cheaper than corn—besides being a specially health giving food, hence the fat and flesh added in the beginning- is more economically produced and the profits proportionally increased. THE DAIRY. Keep Economical Cows, The cow for economy is one that from a quantity of feed will produce the most and best milk or butter. This cow will not be anv larger than is necessary to do her work and she will not store up a lot of fat that will be of no particular use to her owner. She will eat much more feed than a wasteful cow; but here one point showing her real economy comes in; while she eats more feed she gives a larger per cent, in return than the wasteful cow, and if we take a herd of economical cows and compare it with a larger herd of wasteful ones we will only have to furnish the food of support for the smaller herd while we get as much milk or butter as the larger herd gives. The difference between keeping a herd of economical cows and a wasteful herd may be the difference between profit and loss; it certainly will be a difference of a wide margin in the profits. The best is the cheapest, whether it be cows, feed or care, and the economical cow is the best cow no matter what her breed may be or whether she is of any breed; for dairy work alone we must look to the individuality of each cow. —Stockman and Farmer. leecling the Calf. The following is a very good ration: First Week, four quarts new milK at three meals; 2nd, four quarts new three meals; 3rd, two quarts new milk and four quarts boiled skim with one-half pound boiled linseed at two meals: 4th, six quarts boiled skim and two-thirds pound boiled linseed at two meals; sth, six quarts boiled skim and one pound boiled linseed at two meals. One pound crushed linseed will make rather more than one gallon of gruel. Dairy Notes. Don’t dog the cows. Calves fed milk like a drink of water occasionally. Provide a regular supply of salt for your cows. Let them help themselves. If the cow's teats get scratched or cracked grease them after each milking. We believe a regular time for milking is more important than a regular milker. Cream that stands till there is a green mould over it can never produce gilt-edge butter. Remember that the eye often condemns butter that would be relished if put in neat packages. In practice, one of the chief uses of the milk tester is to mark the unprofitable cow’s for the butcher. A scant supply of milk fresh from the cow is a never-failing cure for scours in calves fed upon skim milk. If you are a patron of a co-opera-tive factory—cheese or butter —insist upon every patron taking the best care of his milk. If you are selling cream be sure it is in good order when delivered to the driver or at the station, then insist upon full payment for it. A nwp. of muslin frosh from the bolt is more attractive over a package of butter than a piece of cloth with one. or two buttonholes in it. The early care of the calf has much ,to do with the milking qualities of 1 the cow. Stunted in early life, the calf can never make a cow of the best. i Remember, pasturing takes five j acres to each cow for six months; ’ soiling feeds a cow on one acre for six I months; ensilage feeds a cow on one ' acre for a whole year Do not compel the cows to wade in mud and slush to'their bellies to get a scant supply of stagnant water. See that they have plenty of fresh water that is easily reached. Don’t be surprised that you do not get as much cream as your neighbor though your cows arc the same breed as his, if yours are on slough pasture and his are on tame grass, fed hay ' and some grain. Feed has much to I do with the quality of milk. THE POULTRY-YARD. Why Eggs Spoil.! Eggs spoil of ineffectual attempt to hatch. Whenever a fertilized egg is raised to a temperature of 92 degrees ■ the hatching process begins, and ■ when the temperature falls much be- • Itw this point the process ceases.

i After t^ree or four alterations of this* t kind the embryo chick dies, and the > rotting process begins. Now it is ’ that if the were not fers tilized the hatching would not beein b neither would the rotting, and hence 5 there would be an absence of rotten eggs. The remedy, therefore, i to 5 prevent fertilization of t*e eggs and this can be secured by the de’struc- ’ tion of the rooster. Every rooster not intended especi- ' al y should be killed or sold to the huckster as soon as big ‘ Not over one rooster should be kept on any farm, and that one cooped and mated with not to exceed ten hens, and the eggs from those hens should be kept or sold expressly for hatching. The other hens should be kept especially for eggs for market or table use, and no rooster should ever be allowed among them On the ordinary farms about onetenth of the fowls are roosters, which is about nine times as many as there can be any possible use for. Unfertilized eggs are much sweeter and better for table use, and will keep from two to four times as long as fertilized ones. Hens not kept with roosters will lay loug^ set less than others. It W say that in the United StatfTr*? 11 ® there are 20,000,000 roosters, yUUthat 19,000,000 of them are a positive and expensive nuisance, except for the table at the right time. If these roosters were killed and their places supplied with hens, and each hen laid 200 eggs per year, the aggregate would be 3,800,000,000 worth 1 cent each $38,000,000, every cent of which would be clear net profit to the farmer.—Stock and Home. THE HOUSEHOLD. A Regular Allowances One method would be the granting to the wife of a stated weekly or monthly allowance, for the household and other uses, in proportion to the income of the husband. To the man who says, “But I cannot pay my wife like a servant,” the answer must be, “Certainly not.” She is a partner, and as such is entilted to a share in the dividends. To the end that she may make the best use of such moneys she should know what she is to expect each week. Undoubtedly, the ideal remedy is perfect trust, confi-

dence and a higher moral development of both men and women; but while mankind is moving steadily on to this, the weaker must bealways.going to the wall for the lack of a protecting hand. No woman ought to marry without having some understanding with her future husband on this point. She need not take pencil and make him set down the exact figures of her weekly allowance, but should let him thoroughly understand that she expects one.

J-hey saw their Lord borne away from them, farther, farther; and that not by physical force, from without, but from an inward impulse, under which his own profound soul was mastered. We can pity them, sympathize with them Indeed, such darkness fias at times enshrouded our own souls. But has there not been also an Easter morn beyond it? ■ May this lesson sober the hearts of all of us and oring us to such an apprehension of sin as will lead us byway of Gethsemane to Calvary, and thence to Joseph’s garden and the riven tomb!

And others will rise to n eet him, and his name shall boon their foreheads. Let these go their way. There is a sense in which we travel the same way with our Lord. We go up Golgotha’s brow to “fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ.” In another sense we go a different road. Christ once suffered, “one sacrifice for sins forever.” He has taken the burden upon himself, and he says for us all, as he said for those disciples of old, “Let these go their way.” Nexer was a more compassionate word spoken Socrates r.

FARMERS IN COUNCIL ELEVENTH NATIONAL CONGRESS AT SEDALIA. Thirty States Represented—Agriculturists : Need Cheaper Transportation — Water i Courses and Country Bonds Should Be ' Extensively Improved. Welcomed to Sedalia. The eleventh annual se s'on of the ' National Farmers’ Congre s met in Se- ! dalla. Mo. There could be no mistake ' in the character of the assembly. Woods’ Opera House, the place of meeting, was handsomely decorated with various agricultural products, sheaves of grain, immense stalks of corn, pumpkins like barrels, and ears of corn as big as one’s arm There were 200 delegates present,'rep- I resenting thirty different States. On the platferm, §ays a Sedalia dfs- • patch, were seated Governor Francis, of I Missouri; Vice President A. W- Smith, i oj Kansas; Secretary B. F. Clayton, of Iowa; the Hon. Irank B Meyer, President of the Common: al Club of Sedalia; Col Daniel Needham, of Boston, President of the Nexv England Agricultural Society; Senator John I atter-on and W. p. Kent of Iowa; the Hon. A. P.ope Yeaman, of Missouri, and others. Secretary Clayton cal ed the congress to order, and stated that he had received word from President Kalb, of Montgomery. Ala., that it would be impossible for him to attend. In his abseuco p Vice I resident A. W. Smith, of Kansas, pre- i sided. He was presented with a phe- f nomenally large ear of corn, to be used 1 as a gavel. After prayer, Gov. Francis I delivered the address of welcome in be- , half of the State. After bidding the delegates welcome ' h? said it was eminently proper that the । men who represented the greater inter- j est in the nation should meet and discuss the best niethods to promote their ' interests. Farmers had gri vances. There was no doubt of that, and it was proper that th y should meet and devise means to correct them. Class legislation, he continued, had been one pot -nt cause of the depression of agricultural interests. This depression has been of long continuance, and it was time now that the farmer was given recognition in the councils of tbe nation. There were two grq,at questions, the proper solution of which would tend to ameliorate the farmers’ condition. One was the improvement of the grejit water courses, which won d ■'furnish cheap transportation for arm products. The Missouri River cotlld be improved at a cost of $20,000,000. fi he other question was the improvement of the country loads, which would furnish good transportation :or the small farmers to their nearest markets \ ice President A. W. Smith responded to the addre s of welcome. He agreed w th tl.e Governor that the great water courses of the country should be improved both in the interests of the farmer, the manufacturer and the merchant, j Twenty million dollars was a small I enough amoi nt to be devoted to the im- ■ provement of a b g river. ! The agricultural interest was the greatest interest of the nation, an^ 1 legis- । lation. The affairs of the nation could I ‘tho \ntere»t3 of the fa mcr and of the manufacturer. Farmers Were Fortunate. The statist'cal returns of the Department of Agriculture for November make the corn crop one of the largest in volume, with a rate of yield slightly above the average of twenty-six bushels per ipre. Condition has not been xery hgh at. any period of its growth, but it has been quite uniform, with no record of morp than 10 per cent, of disabilities from all causes. An extraordinary crop ; has not been possible; planting was ir- j regular and late in many places, growth , t f ardy and uneven, and fears of drought i or floods or frosts generally felt in the : latter part of the season; stormo in some : sections threatened loss which was mini- j mized; drought in others checked the growth, which was stimulated again by ■ opportune seasons of n oisturo. Frosts made early threats of disaster and then delayed the'.r appearance throu-h the entire mo; th of September, which was warm and ^forcing, drying out soft corn and shrive'ing the imma- ; ture growths. The re-ult is a well- i ripened -crop, somewhat variable in ' quality, with a mo lerate proportion of : chaffy, u.. il ed, and immature ears. The eastern and western ends of the crop belt—Ohio, lowa, and Nebraska — gave somewhat bet'ter yields than Indiana and Illinois or Missouri and Kansas, the lower levels of the great corn belt suffering more from threatened drought than the higher e'evations. The highest rate of yie’d as estimated appears in New England, from 35 to 10 bushels per acre; in the South t .e range i is from 11 in Florida to 25 in Maryland, I xvhile in the surplus corn States the fignres are as follows: Ohio, 33.7; Indiana, I 32.0; Illinois, 312; lowa, 30.7; Missouri, 29.9; Kansas; 26.7; Nebraska, 36.3. Frost in Afugust wrought some injury : in the N’prthwest; in Wisconsin the : yield is 26.7;’ Minnesota, 3i ! .5; North / Both drought and frost conspired to' reduce °the yield in South Dakota to i twenty-two bushels. Much of the crop is yet in the stack, ! and the condition and rate of yield may ' be somewhat be'tter known after the garnering and marketing. Yet it is evident that the product will not make less than 2,000,(09,(00 bushels, or thirty- I one bushels per un t of pipu.at on. The cotton returns of the Department of Agriculture for November are not fa- > vorable for a high rate of yield. The lateness of the crop, the extremes of . tem-perature. tho excess of rainfall, fol- • lowel by drought, causing enfeebled vi- i tality and loss of folia.e have be n un- । favorable for a large crop. On the northern border of the belt killing frosts occurred on the 29th, in some places as-early as the 21 d. West of the Mississippi there has been some improve- , ment during the past month. 'Fhe season lias been favorable for picking (Quality is almost everyw'here reported high, and the fiber is of good co or and unusually free from trash. The yield as averaged fro n the county estimates, averages 179 pounds per acre, distributed by States as follows: .
