This Is a mistake whieli will in the main account for cat- tle not responding to feed more readily ana witli better results. \Vell-bred steels should be good feeders unleesbreeders themselves lose sight uf one of the must Important charaeterieties, namely, good digertion and feed stesima luting eapaelty, which is very generally associated Nvith constitutional vigor. If ea lot of cattle, said to be well bree, be examined and we find them poor feedere we can rest assured that he man who bred the cattle had only produced a par- ody on breeding, for he had lost sight of points of vital interest to hanself, and all who may have anything to da with his cattle. Who ever heard of a dainty fastidious, poor feeder becoming a great animal? If there are any such they have been made so at great expense. The desirable beast, and the sort that breeders should al in to breed, should have the feeding trait referred to in a marked degree. These are the sorts that commend themselves to plain farmers who care but little for mere annoy pointS which so many value. In our opinion the time is ripe for thoughtful men to special efforts to breed cattle so suit- able to the wants of the plain farmer as to win his eonfidence. The class of farmers we refer to have not, as a rule, had much experience in feeding and caiing for pure-bred cattle and Very generally distrusted their ability to handle them. Breeding and feeding pure-breds is to them a sort of a mystery. .Of course, this is an error that should be dispelled and it can be most success- fully dispelled by presenting animals grown in accordance with rationai meth- ods of breeding and feeding. Live stock - bred on the lines we urge are always better doors tlian stock of questionable constitutional vigor. Hence the import- ance of rising cattle that will do well with plain but good care, and such food as any linmanman er ordinary intents gence can give to his stock by proper sheltering and by makiag a good use of products he can raise on lils farm. There is a wide field open In the direc- tion we are indicating. If breeders will so adjust their operations as to occupy it we thing it is moro than probable that the plain fernier will meet and wel- come them in it. Even though he may not do so promptly, it will not be as los- ing speculation for breeders to operate on such lines anyhow. The Angora goat has been enlisited as a scavenger against the- weeds and brush on the farm, In this it does yeoman work. Angora goat breeding, however, may be well placed on a higher' plane than that of merely supply farm scavengers, although incidentally the goat is a good air in this respect In a certain way they are more M savor with many than sheep or common goats. They are freer from disease than the former, and not by any mean as mischlevlous as the lat- ter, neither are they of 'a *very -toying disposition. The real point in their favor. however, Is that thee cost little to keep and sell readily at form $5 to ;7 their meat being delicious and whole- some. Of course, pastures where they are kept should be fenced, and, like other livestock, they can be improved by sele- tiontion in matingfor breeding purposes, and by good care and hmnane, liberal treatment, all of which can be provided at small expense. It is asserted ey those Who know whereof they speak that well- bred goats of .this breed will share from five to seven pounds of mohair, worth from 35c to 30c a pound. The sum thus realized for their deece so far exceeds the cost of keeping that they cannot fail to be a profitable investment , wher- ever they are properly looked after.

Manual skill is confined to no particular quarter of the globe, but the ability cleverly to handle the toe! In various Industrial pursuits it to be found only among the Hindus. In the naive quar- ters of many towns of India it is no un- common sight to behold a butcher seize a piece of meat in his hand and cut it In two with a etroge of a knife held be- tween the first, and secoxid toes. Sometimes the Indian shoemaker uses no last, but turns tlie unfinisned shoe with his feet, while his hands are busily engaged in shaping it. Then, too, the carpenter holds with his great toe the board his is cutting; and the wood -turner handles his tools as skillfully with his toes as he does with his fingers. Scientific men who have given this mat- ter study assure us that theu se of the feet and toes as aids to the hands and fingers in labor is not the result of mere practice. 'Solite authorities venture to eueseest that the skillful use ef the toes by Hindus as due.to the fact that the Indian foot is quite different from the Western foot in anatomical conformation. It appears that the lilnaln allele and the articulation of the back 01 the foot Permit of considerable lateral motion. Also the toes possess an extraordinary mobility; the great toe can • be moved freely in all directions, and the first and tile second toes are separated by a wide space, sometimes as much as five -eights of an inch across at the base of the toes and two inches at their extremities. Furthermore, the Hindu hip articula- tion is peculat, a circumstance that make easier the use of the toes in hand- ling objects, since the Hindu may sit in a squatting posture much more co- fortably than the Occidental, . Among the natives of .Annam there is. found a simular formation of the feet and 'toes; .but this is not, as might nat- urally be suposed, a common thing among barbarous and savage tribes. Nothing quite similar, for instance, is found among the Ameriean Indian tribes, the negroes, the Fuegians or the Arabs. The toe facility of the Hindu naturally brings to mend also the cleverness of the monkey in the handling of its toes; but the investigators point out that the Hindu foot bears no resemblance to the foot of an ape or a monkey. The great toe is not oepaosed to the ther like a thumb, as in the ease ef the monkey. So the pedal dexterity of the Indian na- tive is not to be regarded an indication of Simian decent. 1 1 WHY SOCIALISM IS UNPOPULAR. ., (Rochester :Hera)d) Character is the only thing that really counts.

MrDockrhrds. Gardeni WRITER DESCRIBES MANY FLOWERS THAT WILL LOOK FINE IN YOUR PATCH. (By Eben E. Rexford, author of Gra ndmother'e Garden, the Home Garden, Etc. Etc,) Naturally the home grounds flower gardeners would like to know what their next summer's flowers will be like; how high the plants will grow; the color of the blossoms; the con- stancy of the flowering. Knowing all that the amateur flower gardener may well consider himself or herself acquainted with the flowers he or she is going to have all around the house. It will then be possible to group the flowers to get the best effects. With that object in view I will give this and the following article to describing the flowers I advised you to cultivate. ASTER -This flower grows to a height of two or three feet. It comes in red, crimson, white, rose, carmine, blue and lavender. It blooms with great profusion during the latter part of the summer. Its flowers are large, very double, and very beauti- ful. They last well and are useful for cutting. They are one of our best annuals. PHLOX DRUMMONDI - During July and August it is literally cover- ed with bloom. Beds of it are a solid mass of color, in. pink, scarlet, mac, pale yellow and pure white. The pink, white and yellow varieties are especialy fine. PETUNIA -This is perhaps the showiest flower in the list, because of its rich colors and wonderful freedom and persistency of bloom. It which henceforth will impose themselves on the great powers, willy-nilly. These results are: 1. The all but complete disappearance of Turkey from Europe; 2. The territorial extension of the four tlllied Balkaa states, On the other hand, nothing is so imprudent as to try to force too far an already handsome SUCefiS and to eompromise what one has gained by wishing for more. So the Balkan states have 8ponhine0us1y taken into account the wishes of certain great powere, par- ticularly of Austria, which has backed leer wadies with a heavy armament, a,nd they have left outside their capture: 1. Constantinople; 2. Albania. Sueb. were the conditions of peace fornmlated by their plenipotentiaries in London, December 20, 1912. The solution thus outlined bas the air of a eompromise, in which the pow- ers have not obtained all they wish, but in whieh,each obtains some eatiefaction. Here are the checkmates: 1. For Germany: the disappearance of Turkey from Europe; 2, For Austria: a notable aggrandize- ment of Slay states aud the closing of the road to Saloniki; 3. For Russia, though less marked than the urecieding: the limitation impoced on Balkan conquests by the Triple Alliance. And here _are the euceesses: 1. Ruseo-Franco-Englieh'i the constitu- tion of a powerful Balkan 'federation in tlie place of Turkey in Europe. 2. AuAro-ita10-Germa n: the territorial ('losing of the Adriatie to Servia and the creation of .Albanian autonom.y. The great resulte, therefore, are to the profit of the Triple Entente (Eng- land, France and Russia), though the Triple Alliance ((lemony, Austria and Italy) has succeeded in limiting them. An understanding on eucli a basis has been preferred to the risk of an Euro- pean war. FARM NEWS Some in teresting tests, which show the per cent. of moisture In corn, were made at a Western (Ado corn show held the middle of February. An ear of corn that was three years old and had been kept all that time in a dry place showed a moisture contents of 10 per cent. An- other ear that had been picked Or seed and stored on a rack in a eorn-crib, where It had a eirculation of air on all sidest with splendid eltanees for drying out, showed 20 per cent. of moisture. The results of the tests were somewhat sur- prising to. those attending, the show. Both salt and linseed meal are valuable adjuncts to the hen's bill of fare, but they mus tbe used with discretion, Too ' much salt Will muse bowel trouble and comes itt crimson, velvet, rose, lilac and pure white, and is an all -the -sea- son bloomer. BALSA.11(1-The flowers are like miniature roses in form, and are set thickly along the branches. CALLIOPSIS-Its rich, yellow blos- soms are floral sunshine and do won- ders in brightening up the garden. TEN WEEK STOCK -It flowers in spikes of pink, red, white, violet and pale yellow, and is very fragrant. It Is a late bloomer, continuing until cold weather. SNAPDRAGON -It has brilliant flowers of scarlet, crimson, yellow and white. Is a profuse and constant bloomer. PANSY -It is too well known to need any description here. SCABIOSA-Old fashioned, but all •the better 1 r that, Its blossoms are dark purple, blue, maroon and white, and it is excellent to cut from. ,POPPY -Scarlet, crimson, rose, .purple and white are the blooms of this old-fashioned but ever popular flower. MAR,IGOLD-Is one ef the sturdy, self reliant plants. There are two ex- cellent varieties, the large double yel- low, and the velvet, small with petals that seem cut from the richest brown velvet. I will continue my descriptions in my next article -there still remains half of my list to talk about. loss of feathers, and too much linseed meal will have a similar effect. -- 1111Ich cows and nogs go together. It has been proven that when 150 pounds of skimmed milk is added to a bushel of corn, that bushel will produce. Just six pounds more pork than It corn and water are fed. Also 12 quarts of milk has been made into a pound of pork. This shows the high feding value of your dairy by- product. One acre of clover is worth as much as 0110 to one and one-half tons of shorts for hogs. Bluegrass is not quite so val- uable. except when a good turf bas been fromed. An acre of clover, rent, fence and all other charges paid, in reason- ably large fields, need not cost over ;6 to $7 per acre. F,verv farmer should keep a few mares and raise a few colts each season. There Is now strong demand for work stock, but the supply seems limited. A good mare will produce a colt each year with- out Impairing her usefulness as a work animal on the farm. The value of sweet clover as a son im- prover is not likely as highly appreciated as it should be by farmers. An experi- ment in Alabama, on old, worn-out soil, was made with sweet clover. It pro- duced 6672 nounds of hay to the acre the first year and 7084 the second year, after whieli the stubble was' planted to corn. Thecorn produced 22.7 bushels an acre, as against 16.2 bushels upon an adjoining plot where sweet clover had not been grown. At the Ohlo Experiment Station se eet clover land gave a yield of 26.9 bushels an acre, as compared with 18.6 bushels on similar land not in sweet clo- ver the year before. Sweet clover in- ereased the yield of oats in Germany 17 bushels an acre. In ridding his fruit trpcs of borers one 'Maine orchardist has had good success In using a small quantity of formalde- hyde, irdeeted It into the hole and seal- ing the opening with wax. The insect Is killed and the formaldehyde apparently does no harm to the tree. The most fatisfactory way to manage the farm is to follow a definite rotation of eeeps, so as to keep the land busy And replace the lost 'nitrogen as far as possi- ble with legumes. The other elements of plant food may be replayed in com- mercial- fertilizers. Animals should be kept to consume the crops and the man- ure used to hnprove the farm. Livestock make it necessary to diversify crops and grow more crops upon which there is a wider margin of profit. Ani- mals also distribute labor, furnish em- ployment in time of bad weather or when field work is not possible. Animal hus- bandry is the logical way to insure soil improvement, as the increase fertility from manure is often sufficient to justify raising animals. A cement trough for the hog lot is one of the greatest little improvements about the farm. it is easy to make, easy to cleannever gets out of order and is readily dielnfected. Ton can build it Yourself. Another and better arrange- ment is to have an automatic watering device, with a tank made of galvanized iron, mounted on a sled and movable from place to place.

For time out of -mem- ory the prime reqnisite of an egg has been find it be fresh, But while poul- try %inure has been making progress In the last few years it has been establiiih- ed that an egg is not necessarily good just because it happena to be fre412. Poultrymen who hav.a made a elelentifto study of their business now are endea- voring to impress upon the public that there are Other requisite o than freshness to a, real good egg. There are three prime requisites to an egg that ca.n go to the table unquestion- ed and unchallenged. It must be sterile, sanitary and fresh. To know that the eggs you buy comply with these require- ments you have, to lcnow somethting about their source and the conditions under which they are laid. Sterility is one of the chief 'mints of a really good egg. No one who is dis- eriminating wants to eat an egg thptt has been fertilized. The germ is repul- sive to the taste. It is a fact that most of the eggs purchased on the general market as fresh, is placed in an ifiellka* tor before they are too old, would hatch. out chicks. Yet these eggs are sold daily by grocers and dealers who obtain the product from farms where poultry raising is merely a side issue and con- ducted without any special attentiog to the hens. The fertility is the result of failure to segregate the sexes. On farms where chickens are a by-produet and are allowedto have the run of t.tw place this condition exists, and it is alSo a notable fact that such farnas still sup- ply the most of the eggs consumed in this country. Sanitation is equally important. An egg may be absolutely fresh, warm in fact from the heat of the, hen's body, and still not be good or taste good if the bird that laid it has been improperly fed. Onions and some other vegetables when fed to a hen will impart a taste and odor to an egg. Eggs coming from hens that have had impure or polluted water, or which get such water while roaming about a farm, are unsanitary. Birds housed in dark, (lamp or draughtS, houses become debilitated, and. al- though they may continue to lay fairly' well, the,ir eggs are not good for food, any more than is the nseat that comes from tubercular cows. It is eggs of this kind coming from places where no spe- cial attention is paid to the chickens other than to collect the eggs every day that in many cases are bought up dur- ing the smnmmer, when the prices are down, ond put in cold storage. Unscru- pulous dealers go still further and often sell such eggs, which have been bought out of cold storage, as "fresh" or "newly laid Freshness is something that every one desires in an -egg. Eggs that reach the constuner within 24 hours, or soon thereafter, after being laid and are sterile and sanitary, represent the acme of achievement by the hen. The gen- eral public has to depend on the hon- esty of dealers to insure getting the best eggs unless one has personal knowledge of some farm or poultry plant where eggs are a specialty, and. fortunately the majority of dealers are Progress in poultry culture is rapidly changing the conditions under which eggs are being produeed. This .is dui to men who have made a Specialty of poultry and eggs on farms that are poul- try farms and nothing else. On these places hens are separated from the male birds housed and fed properly and the cogs shipped to the market within a few hours after being laid. Such eggs de- serve the premium prices they command and are cheap atNtohTeprice when one con- siders the average egg. Es. Fertility this season is better than in 1012, and there should be a fair crop' of early-hatehed chicks. Breeders who tere known and are steady advertAsers roe port a fine season, -Mich shows every indication of keeping up through the vs! gular chick and egg period. Breeding stock should riot be fed too much corn, In fact, with the exception of a few weeks of cold weathene etUde.,-es winter was not one for heavy feeding of corn.

They are compelled to pay more for every- thing they uee. To many who do not understand conditions it would appear that farmers are obtaining big profits on all they produce. Close study would inform those that such is not the cane. The farmer can snake money, but not in the big proportions that many who dwell in that city think.,So it is on the poultry plant. 1The commercial pliant can only make a fair margin a pl'ofi.t. Ilene do not lay over 50 per cent. en winter, when eggs are high; every egg when plated in the incubator does not hatch, and every chick hatched doesnot live. In fact on the commercial plant if the death rate can be kept below the 20 per cent. mark they are fortunate. ,Again,one-half of the chicks that make the year.
