When a 'voiii?n hr.s a hen to drive lnlo the cGop, fhs take3 hold of her skirt? with Loth Land.;, chakc3 them quietly at ihe cT.turuient and says, "Shoo, thr.re!" The hen takc3 one look at the objoct to couvinca her that it is; a woman, and then stalks majestically into the coop. A man doesn't do that way. He goes out doors and cays, "It is singular no body can drive a hen but me," and picks un a stick of wood, hurls it at tho offending biped. "Get in there, you thief." Tho hen then loses her reason and dashes to the other end of tho yard. Tho man straightway dashes after her. She come3 back "with her head down, her wings out, and followed by an assortment of stove-wood, fruit cans and clinkers, and a very mad man in the rear. Then she skims under the barn and over a fenc9 or two, and around the. house and back qgain to tho coop, and all the time talking as only an excited hen can talk, and all the while followed by things convenient for handling and a man whose coat is on the saw buck and whose hat is on the ground, and whose perspiration knows no limit. : By this time the other hens have come out to take a hand in the de bate and help dodge missiles, and the man says every heu on the place shall be sold in the morning, and puts on his things and goes down the street, and the woman has every one of those hens housed and counted in two min utes. Northwestern Agriculturist. '- Fruit Trees Exhaust Soil. W;. In considering the reasons why apple and other fruit trees do not bear as many or as fine apples as they did in the early days, writes .Prnfcntni" barman nf Tfdn Hi nr v ntni uf-i iiavo been impressed with the Importance of supplying the trees with fertilizers as the soil becomes exhausted, and am satisfied that the greatest relative difficulty experi enced nowadays in keeping fruit trees in good condition is in pavt due t'o an exhaustion of the soil. Trees forage more widely than smaller plants, and may not show the effects of starvation as suddenly or as soon, but they must show it in time if grown long on the same land without anything being returned to the soil to replace materials removed by the trees. In this relation I was struck recently by a statement which I en countered in Professor Vcorhees' in teresting IitLI 3 book on fertilizers. He says that twenty crops of apples of fifteen bushels per tre3, and thirty-five trees to the acre, equal 1337 pound3 of nitrogen, 319 pounds of phosphoric acid and 1803 pound3 of potash. Twenty crops of wheat, of fifteen bushels per acre, equal 6 60 j pounds 01 nitrogen, zix poun23 01 phosphoric acid and 324 pounds of potash. Therefore, according to Pro fessor Voorhees, twenty crops of apples remove more than twfce much nitrogca, half as much again phosphoric acid, and nearly three times a3 much potash, as twenty crops of wheat. A gcod farmer would hardly think of growing twen ty successive crops of wheat on the same land, no matter how good it might be, and it would seem to be still greater folly, according to tho figures given, to attempt to grow twenty crops of apples without re turning anything to tho coil. A Fanner's Creed. Tho following farmer's creed, for mulated nearly three-quarters of a century ago by Henry Ward Beech-, c-r, the famous patriotic and pulpit orator, and oho of the first editors cf the Indiana Farmer, holds good to day as well r:s then: "Wo believe in small farms and thorough cultivation. "We believo that roil loves to cat, as well as its owner, and ought, therefore, to be liberally fed. "Wc believe in large crops which leave the lan.l better than they 'found it mr.kins the farmer and the farm both gla.1 at enc?. "We believe ia gciug to the bot tom of things, and. therefore, in deep plov. ing find enough of it. All the better with a subsoil plow. "We believe that every farm should own a govl farmer. "Wc believe that the best frU- 1 lizer for any soil i3 a spirit of ind-us-try, enterprise and intelligence. With out thi3 lirne and gypsum, bones and green manure, mail and guano, will bo of little use. "We believe in good fences, gcod barns, good farm houses, good stock, good orchards and children enouga to gather the fruit. "We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat wife in it, a clean cupboard, a clean dairy and a clean conscience. "We firmly disbelieve in farmers that will not improve; in farms that grow poorer every year; in starving cattle; in farmers' boys turning into clsrkfyn.d merchants; in farmers' daughters unwilling to work, and in all farmers ashamed of their voca tion, or who drink whisky until hon est people are ashamed of them." Indiana Farmer. A "White Leghorn Eg.; Farm. In New York State, on one of these breezy hills which are to bo found in almost every .county, Mr. Wyckoff many years ago, started out to make a living for himself and his family from the soil. His only capital was his ambition, good health and a wife full of cheer and encouragement. In looking about for a farm, he found an old man who was so anxious to sell that a man without money wa.3 able to buy. Mr. Wyckoff'3 father went security for the first payment and loaned hi3 son cash enough to purchase n team, a few cows, some tools, seed and twenty-five scrub hens. The buildings were for the most part in a tunible-down condition, and as the new farmer hadn't a cent to makf any improvements with, he de termined to develop the poultry end of the business, as it required no ex penditure of capital. He housed his flock in one of tho old buildings; they laid fairly well, but recognizing tho advantage of having thorough bred stock, he soon replaced them with Brown Leghorns.. From the egg3 laid by these he saved In one winter and spring $75, and with it bought White Leghorn eggs. The next year, the third on the place, he had a flock of 180 "Wiliite Leghorn hens. That winter eggs were un usually high, and his fiock returned him $90 in eggs laid. This money was invested in buildings, the hens paying; for all the improvements made. Mr. Wyckoff never invested an out side dollar in his poultry since the day he bought his first twenty-five scrub hens. Every cent his hens made was put back into new build ings and yards. It took five or six years to get the business well started owing to lack of capital, but since then he has sold about $4000 worth of produce from his farm annually, of which about $3500 is from eg-js and poultry. Ke always kept a few cows, and for many years depended on the dairy to pay the interest on the purchase price of his place. It may interest some ' to know what sort of a ration was fed on this farm. In tho morning a mash was compound oil as follows. One bu. corn, two bu. cats, ground fine; to each 200 pounds of this mixture add 100 pounds bran and five or six pounds beef scraps; moisten with milk. This I3 fed in troughs, the feeder returning in ten minutes to take up any more where needed. At noon, green food was given, either mangel3 or cabbage in winter, clover or kale In summer; sometimes a light feed of mixed grain in the litter. Night feed was usually mi ted grain; in winter two bushels each wheat, oats, buckwheat and corn; in sum mer the corn in the mixture is re duced one-half. E. K. Parkin:?:', in tho Country Gentleman. Breeders' Notes. Shake the hay well out before feed- ! ins. Do not compel horses to drink warm water. No farmer makes money raising Inferior horses. Take tho dirt off the leg3 with a rag or soft brush, rather than with the currycomb. The farmer who has his surplus capital invested in good horses has a draft which ho can draw at any time. Keeping the skin of the work horses clean enables them to sweat freely and thus Is essential to theii health. Get rid of the surplus horse3 that are not growing into money. There 3 no advantage ia keeping enough extra horses to cat all that useful ones earn. It is not good policy to force the growth of colts by giving them stimulating foods and overfeeding thorn. The overgrown horso is sel dom a durable one. A horse, especially if he is ner vous, i3 much mora likely to hi alarmed by tho soun-i of a noise he cannot r.e-:- than by tho Eight ci things he dc?3 not understand. Tho origin of many diseases amen:? horses can be traced directlj to filthy stables. It is, therefore good economy to keep tho stablei scrupulously clean. Bcstcn Cultlva-tor. Dr. nartman is now offering Pcruna to tho public as a regular pharmaceu tical product. It is just aa ethical as any compound put up for the medical 'profession.

Tho only departure we tliall make from medical ethics in the conduct of Peruna afiair3 in the f ature, i3 the fact that we shall continue to advertise and sell cur product TO THE PEOPLE.
