tails that farming requires that has caused the failure of schemes of bonanza farming. What is done by hired help, not unde.' personal supervision of the employer's eye, is apt to do only eye service. It is as true practically as when first uttered, that the hireling lleeth because he is a hireling. The workman in any occupation who always makes his employer's interest hisown is invaluable. Yet if he would but regard it rightly that interest is identical with his. The keen competition for intelligent, reliable help insures it what it can earn, for if one employer will not pay for faithful service, another will. It is therefore net likely that farm wages will soon, if ever, materially decline. The demand for young men in city employments has for many years taken the most active and enterprising—more than it will, we believe, in the near future. Business life in cities is precarious. IVw merchants can go through life without a failure at its middle or at I’m' close. The fact is becoming recognized that equal executive ability on the farm will, on the avertige. produce as much wealth and more comfort than it can in average business ami commercial city enterprises. Except in the item of farm help, and possibly also in that, the cost of getting farm work done has declined, the aggregate' Xpense is greater, but it is or may be offset by still larger results. One man with improved machinery can do so much mote work that not only does he earn better pay, but something is or ought to be left over for the farmer if lie does his part. There is also great reduction in tic prices of most improved agricultural machinery. As various patents run out the cost from the manufacturers will be greatly lessoned. This is to a greater extent th in is thought true now in machinery where there is rightful competition of lirms manufacturing under different patents. Any one now can buy reapers, mowers, drills and cultivators 20 to 30 per cent, cheaper than was charged for them a decade ago. The greatest reduct ion of farm expenses, however, must be relative by increasing amount and value of its products. Rich and well-drained land i ''educes so much more than that in poor condition as to give the farmer who owns the best farm a great advantage. He and his hired help may work no harder, and possibly not so many hours, but they accomplish more, and thereby produce at less cost. This is the only practical way to make farming pay. The man who does not improve his farm, and waits for a high pri-e to help out his poor farming, will learn when the good prices come that he has so little to sell that it does not profit him mi eh. On Hie other hand, it lie conducts nis business so as to produce large < - ; >ps these can usually lie sold at some profit in any condition of the market. —American Cultivator. How to Fasten Brush Scythe to Snath. Here is the most substantial way of fastening a sythe to the snath I have ever seen or tried, says a

You can gi t the scythe adjusted or hung to suit yourself before putting in the screws to fasten the plate. Tiie Va'ue o{ EnsUagp. The Maryland agricultural experiment station reports the best met bod of preserving forage and the comparative value of the same plant, harvested and stored in different wavs, form part of the general problem of forage and feeding. The system of silosand ensilage, is no longer an experiment. Practical farmersand dairymen in all parts of the country have demonstrated th- direct profit ami the incidental advantages of preserving a portion of their forage crops in the form of ensilage, so as to give their animals, of all kinds, a lair proportion of succulent food, throughout the year. Ensilage is found as profitable for supplementing pasturage in times of drought, as for giving stock ‘•a green bite" in the winter. Indian ecru is the favorite crop of ensilage,

’ the niost productive, the easiest to 1 raise, and, all considered, the best. But clovers, the. cow-pea and the soja • bean, make a more nutritious article of ensilage, and may be advantageously mixed with corn, in the silo. Other r plants and waste products, some un- , palatable in other forms, make fairly ( good ensilage. , Ensilage is no better food for stock than good roots, but in nine case out of ten, ensilage can be produced and handled easier and cheaper than ■ roots, and is just as good for stockfood. A good many points regarding • silos and ensilage remain unknown or ' uncertain. Consequently ensilage of : different plants Is yearly made at the • Station, managed in different ways, fed to different classes of stock, in various combinations, and Hie observations made are duly recorded. LIVE STOCK. Age Texts. A heifer lias no rings on her horns until the is 2 years'of age, and one is added each year thereafter. You can therefore tell the age of a cow , with tolerable accuracy by counting the rings on her horns and adding two to the number. Tiie, bull has no rings, as a rule, until he is 5 years old, so to tell his age after that period, add live to the number of rings. The better way to tell the age is by the teeth, which is of course the only way with polled catlie. What are called the milk teeth gradually disappear in front.. At t iie end of t hi'ii* years tie second pair of permanent teeth are well grown, at four years the third pair, and at live the fourth and last pair have appeared, and at this time the central pair arc of full size. At seven years a dark' line, caused by the wearing of the teeth, appears on । all of them, and on the central pair a circular mark. At eight years this i circular mark appeals on all of them, and at nine years the central pair begins to shrink, and the third at eleven. Alter this period the age can only be determined by the degree of shrinkage generally. At fifteen tlw teeth are nearly all gone. llnon llrreillng, The special demand for certain classes of horses is orought to lw well known by evenbsly, but judging from the fact that so main - rii - at yet bred is evidence enough, siy»the Hural ami Stockman. that this d.-. maud is either not known or not ap preejated. There is a demand for good horses of all breeds. The market is not overstocked in any direction whatever. The heavy draft are always in demand; the Gamble. 1 mian sells readily enough; the Morgan is aiwtts in demand. Hie Coaeher is not imported or br- u , largely enough to satisfy the demand tor that class of horvA. What then; shall we breed? From what we have said the proper am«»< r would serin io be: "Breed anithilig but the scrubs.''. There are horses at wqk in Chicago that cost only from ten to P>rti <lo'dar>; and they do tUv wink at • ■ which they are put. Nome of them are not very old horses cither. But they are scrubs to In gin with and |hthaps having been bred from defective sires or dams ba ve been g od for nothing from the b< ginning. They are not the kind of hot''s t hat the public in general want. Looking over our weekly horse sales it is not dilfleu't to see what kind, of horses we ought to breed if we want to make anything from horse breeding. Horses are like all other kinds of stock in the matter of profit, they must be the best to Kprofitable. THE DAIRY. Fc€'<l!nsr oi Comm and Cnlvrg. Experiment'at the lowa Station' gave the following farts or indications: Quality of milk so far as measured by its percentage of fat wa* changed by feed to a much greater degree than was quantity. Twothirds of the increase in average gloss yield of butter fat was due to improved quality of the milk, and only one-third to increased milk-flow. Corn is not a perfect milk ration Substitution of bran and oilmeal result in increase of quantity and quality of milk. A ration of skim-milk and ground flaxseed compares favorably with a new ration for young calves. The larger gain came from the whole milk but a part of it was partly due to the individuality of the calves and good results ami a thrifty growth were made on skim-milk and groum; flaxseed. Thesk«im-milk calves were interrupted less in growth by weaning than the whole milk calves, i A saving in value of butter fat alone ' of *l.ll per month on each calf was. ctYeotcil by s tbstitutinu ground flax-. see<l. The cost of producing a jxmnd of gain est imat ing new milk at 87 J cents p«r Ibu pounds and skim-milk at 15 cents per 100, gain I cent per pound, hay $5 per ton. and flaxseed meal 31 i cents per pound, was 7.6 cents for the , fresh milk ration and 5 cents for the । skim-milk ration. THE POULTRY-YARD. A I’laii lor Winter A secret of winter egg production is warm quarters for the fowls, writes A. IL Stuyvesant, in Farm and Home. A friend who always has ■ quantities of eggs when they bring i 35 cents to 40 cents per dozen, has a I novel place for his hens' bed room. It J is in the side of a haymow, which • keeps the birds warm all winter. To • take advantage of such accommodai tions the space must be built in the ■ side of the hay before the hay is put " in. Built the size of a cord of wood, - 4x4 and 8 feet long, it will nicely t quarter twenty to twenty-live hens. -I The room for fowls should join the i ' mow on the south or west, and the : sleeping compartments open from it i under the hay as shown. This will , keep oil all severe winds and dan-
