eat1parchaSed an upland farm, which
had been let for twenty years, and was in
A badly rim -down condition as to soil,
buildings and feecee. I ran in debt for
•the full amonnt of the purchase money of
the farm, and also for the stock put upon it.
I started in the dairy butinese, with the
deterunnation to improve my farm and
stook. My rule of practice has been to
raise each year all that I could of feeding
value, and. feed out all that I raised, care -
&DT tleving the mailer°, both solid and
liquid and applying to the land, as made,
The man who occupied tide farm for six
years before I took possession, told me
that it would support twenty cows, and
that, possibly, I might be able to keep
twentyelve cows. Fifteen yeare from 010
time I kept on my farm, both winter and
summer, seventy-eight cattle and four hones
By using a thoroughbred bull for grading
tip my herd, I very soon ineree,aed the
annual average milk yield of the herd, Item
4,000 to 6,000 pounds.
My farm now consists of 290 mores, 210 of
which are cleared of timber, but only 150
ares are at present available for cultiva-
tion. The soil is a loamy clay, with hard..pan subsoil. I have not prehticed soiling,
excepting when pastures have been poor ;
neither have I used silage, so there is etill
much Menial for improvement. I believe
that any farmer may continuously improve
his farn by feeding tho crops grown thereon
to domestic animele, if he will carefully
save and apply the manure made from
them. I do not believe in being confined
to a eingle hobby, and think that, as
farmers, we should advance all along the
line, and never be satisfied with present
attainments.
The conclusion I draw from my farm
experience and abservation is that, in
me.ny cases, dairy farms can be purchased
in some plebes for less than the improve-
ments cost, and With good management of
both farm and stook, will prove to be a
safe and profitable investment. It may
be well to add that ray farm is now paid
for, my health resto7ed, my family well
educated, and otherwise well provided for.
A Dairy. Woman's Way.
Dorothy Tucker says : I wish you could
see my calves. They have had skim milk
since they were a few days old, but in
addition to the skim milk they have had a
little ground flaxseed and wheat middlings
cooked. As the calves grow older we give
them a little more of porridge. The milk
is drawn from the creamery and we put the
hot porridge in it, so the temperature of
the milk is always the same when fed each
day and the milk is always. sweet. They
have a feeding of alfalfa every day and
their stable is well ventilated and cleaned
every day. They are straight, sleek and
growthy. The meal has really cost very
little, and. the calves are much better than
if they had been fed whole milk, as
they are being reared for dairy animals,
not beef. If you wish to fatten a calf add
corn meal as much as they will digest.
The feeder should watch the calves and
feed each one as it requires. Some will
digest more than others.
Do not wait until cold weather before
beinning to fatten the animals that are to
be sent to the shambles. Now is the time,
while the pastures are nutritious; a little
extra feed will acoomplish what three times
the amount will not do when it is cold
and the grass frcat-bitten. Everything
that increases the comfort of an animal
Pays.
The annoyance from flies may be very
much leasened by dipping asponge in soap-
suds in which a small quantity of carbolic
acid has been mixed and rubbing the cows
all over. Shoo -fly ointmeut is one of the
beat things.
The better a cow is cared for, and the
better the system of feeding, the more pro-
fitable she will be in every way.
There is a growing demand for sweet,
unsalted butter, but this must be put up in
dainty half -pound prints and taken direct-
ly to the coesutner. The attractive way
in which butter is put up goes a long way
itt securing a good market, and this demand
is growing every year.
Notes.
The richer the feed the richer the
manure.
Regular feeding is an important item in
successful feeding.
It is a waste of raw material to feed an
unprofitable animal.
Feed is too high to feed it to any but the
best stook OM winter.
Wheat bran and oil meal will make that
straw pile valuable feed this winter.
Let the stock have the first picking of
the straw, then Me the orts for bedding.
As a general rule ib is the most profitable
to use mature sires and dams in breeding.
Milk keeps better even in cool weather
if cooled at once after being drawn from the
cow.
The more straw you have the more you
should use about the barn and stables
Don't burn any.
When fattening an animal push from the
start—gradually at first of course—and
save time and feed.
Over -feeding is a waste—for indigestion
is the result and food that is undigested,
unassimilated, is wasted,
If the young stock are not thrifty when
they go into winter, we doubt if they will
coke out thrifty in the apring.
If you think you can starve a calf for a
week, then feed well for a week and have
it catch up in thrift you are mistaken,
Give your children good, eound enter-
taining and morally healthful reading.
Subseribe for the beat magazine for your

All animals enjoy a clean, dry bed at
night. Do you know anything better than
good straw and plenty of it to make such a
bed?
Provide the meant of contentment and ine
prevenient in your home and the power of

Mr. 7. W. Hodgson, of Liverpool, Eng.
and, who for many yeara has done a larger

two breech establishments on bilk; conti.
nent, one in Montreal and the other in
New 'York, arrived at Ottawa the other
day, tind had an interview. with Mr. Angers,
Minister of Agriculture, and Protestor
Robertson,Dairy Commissioner. Mr. Hodg-
son who deals largely in Canadian butter,
cheese, and pork, met Mr. Robertson when
the latter was making a tour of the Old
Country three years ago, and gave him
some valuable information with a view of
increasing the trade in dairy produots be-
tweenCaroda and the Mother Country. At
the tirne Mr. Hodgson was president of the
Liverpool Produce Exchange. He was in
Canada some five years ago, and says that
this oountry has made rapid progress
since that time. He visited the Experiment
al Farm with Mr. Robertsou, and was much
interested he what he saw. lie sayethatCan.
adieu cheese brought the beat prices to -day,
Mr. Hodgson has already spent a few days
in the Province of Quebec, and intends be-
fore returning to take in Toronto, London,
Ingersoll, and Listowel, leading dairy
centres in Ontario. His visit is of import-
ance in connection with the tecently in-
augurated movement among the dairymen
for carrying out an agreement for placing
Canadian butter upon the English market
fresh made, and of the best quality, for
which there liould be a very large demand.
There is certain prospect of a large trade
in butter being done between ehe 'Dominion
and England if Canadian butter of the
finest grade is put upon the English market

Harnessing the Lightning.
It is just possible that one of these days
instead of making electricity for ourselves
we shall learn to tap the immense store of
the electric fluid that pervades the higher
atmosphere; that in fact, we shall be able
to "harness the lightning." Prof. Trow-
bridge shows that a discharge keeps in the
same path for 300-1,000 part of a second
and he believes that a "stop -down" trans,
former—a device by which the voltage of
the discharge would be reduced—might ren-
der it fit for the service of man, An average
thunder storm is estimated to contain about
300 -horse power of electrical energy. A
flash of lightning a quarter of a mile long
practically means an electromotive force of
millions of volts. Reckoning on the basis
that a flash occurs when the electrical strain
on the air is L37 pounds per cubic foot, the
total electrical energy in a cubic mile of
the strained air just on the point of flash-
ing is about 70,000,000 foot. -ton, or, in
other words, the energy required to raise a
ton 70,000,000 feet high. Electricians are
now trying to think out how this enormous
power can be brought down to earth and
utilized, and they talk of etnploying some
modification of Franklin's Isite,at all events,
for experimental work. If they should
succeed the corralling of lightning fleshes
may come to be a profitable occupation.
A Curious Custom.
There is a weekly auction of linen goods
in Belfast at which nothing is ever sold,
About two hundred years ago there were
two halls for selling linen in Belfast, the
White Linen Hall and the Brown Linen
Rail. In the former all bleached linen was
sold,while the latter was exclusively reserv-
ed. for the sale of brown or unbleached
goods. Nearly a century ago a linen
mauufaeturer in Belfast endowed the latter
institution, and the deed of endowment
contained a clause to the effect that a
market should be held in the hall every
Friday. Ienen,however;began to be dispos-
ed of in other ways and the halls were no
longer usefu The White Linen Ball was
made into publics offices, but the Brown
Linen Hall still remains to fulfil its original
functions. Every Friday maiming Mr.
McNicholl, an old man, opens the doors,
takes his stand in the middle of the hall,
and puts a single bale of utibleached linen
up to auction. It is always the same old
man and. the same old bale. Nobody ever
comes to buy it, because few people ate
aware of this remarkable custom.

allied with a good deal of dirt, and the
preliminaries to the inueicipal cleansing of
New York city are zio exception to the
rule, Some of the revelations that hays; been
made exhibit human nature in its measieet
aspeet. This is well illustrated in the cage
of Mre, Calla ITrohittel. This poor vro.
man came from Russia to. New York three
years ago and soon after her arrival her
husband died,leaving her with two or three
children. She was young and strong, and
to earn bread for her children she began to
keep boarders, chiefly poor foreigners from
her own country. In this blueness she
sewed by eeonomy and hard work, $600.
At length she found herself unable to do
the exacting work required of her, and on
the advice of friends she invested a portion
of her Twinge in a little tointeeaniBe8
shop.
In the meantime it had • got noised abou
that the widow Urchittel •
HAD MADE A LITTLE MONEY
out of her boarding house, and the police of
her neighborhood saw that she waajust the
sort of game they were in search of, She
had a littie money she was a woman
with no influential friends; she was a for.
eigner, scarcely knowing a word of English,
and therefore almost entirely ignorant of
her own rights and. of the powers of the
police. Two of these " guardians .of the
peace" immediately began prospecting.
One of them, named Hussey, went to her,
and said it was well known that she had
made money out of an improper business,
and that unless she gave him $100 she would
be arrested. She hardly understood the
masa, but denied that she had been engaged
in any improper business, and said she had
no money to give enybody. Hussey worried
her for a while, and at length one night
BE ARRESTED HER.
She asked for time to get a neighbor to
look after her ohildren, but the brute was
inexorable. Pay hirn a. hundred dollars or
go to the station werethe alternatives. She
deolared that she had not a hundred dol.
lava The fellow then started out, as if to
go to the station. Before they had gone
far they met one Max Hochstim, a Tam-
many leader in that districta The woman
knew Hochstim by sight, and appealed to
him if she was not a respectable woman.
There can he no doubt that Hochstim was
confeders,teofthe police. He ordered her
to give Hussey some money and told her
he could get her off for $50. She declared
she did not possess $50. The policeman
insiated that she had money in her stock-
ing. At length
TO SATISFY HIM THAT SHE HAD NOT
she sat down on a doorstep and showed
him she he.d no money there. By this time
it was three in the morning, and she was
almost out of her mind as to what would
befall her children during her absence. At
length they agreed to accept $25 front her,
but with the understanding that she would
pay them $50 in the morning. Hussey was
around bright and early for the $50. She
wept and implored him to leave her alone ;
she had not a cent in the house. He ar-
rested her again and handed her over to a
partner of his, with instructions not to let
her go until she paid him $50. The partner
suggested that she should sell her business,
and she tried to get a purchaser for it, but
failed. She was then taken to the station
and charged with keeping a disorderly
house. Two lads whom she had
NEVER SEEN BEFORE
testified that they had need her house for
improper purposes. She could have got
fifty people to give her a good character as
a hard-working honest woman, but she
scarcely understood what was going on,
and she. was fined s50. After a few days
her brother managed to sell the store, for
which she had paid $200, for $65, and paid
her fine. In the meantime the police had
given her children to a charitable society,
on the plea that the mother was unlit to
look after them. When she was released,
therefore, she was almost frantic to find
that her children had been taken from her.
She went from charity to charity looking
for them, until at length, weary and broken
down, she herself had to be taken to an
hospital.
These facts were set down in a statement
which had been drawn up for her in English
by a friend, and were addressed to Mr.
Moss, one of the counsel for the prosecution
in the investigation bemg conducted by the
Lexow Committee. The statement wound
up with this touching appeal : I lay my
supplication before you, honorable -sir,
father of family, whose heart beats for your
children, and feels what children are to a
faithful mother ;
HELP ME TO GE MZ OBILDBEN,
let me be mother to them. Grant me my
holy wish, and I will always pray for your
happiness and will never forget your kind,
benevolent act towards me." At an adjourn-
ment of the investigation the much -perse-
cuted woman fell on her knee e beside Mr,
Moss, and, kissing his hand hysterically,
implored him to gather her children.

A. largeandrepresentative meeting of tan-
nersof the Province of Ontario was held re-
cently at the Boerd of Trade, Toronto. From
the views expressed by those present and
from others who could not come, it appears
ehat the Mather trade is in a deplorably un-
satisfesetory condition. Hides have advanced
in the American market from forty to sixty
per csna, and the better grades of leather
can only be made from these hides the
local hides as a general thing being poor in
quality. At the same time many tanners
are selling at about old prices based upon
the low price of hides. Leather now being
sold cannot be replaced at t'ne same figure
and the tanners naturally are compelled to
raise their prices. They are unanimous in
their determination to do this or hold their
stock. Leather has been so low that even
at the very low price of hides tanners have
lost money the past year, and many of
them have left the business. It will be
disastrous for them to keep on selling cheap
leather and buying dear hides, and they
have decided to take immediate action to
remedy this state of affairs by advancing
the prices in accordance with the increased
cost of production.
