After haying is a good time for far Men to take a short vacation. Aftei the labor of getting In the bay crop a little recreation will do them good. There is no better way to enjoy one s elf than by driving through the coun try and noting the condition of grow ing crops and of farms in general. Stop and see different dairies ant. roans' stock, note the difference in breeds and the various ways of jnsu agement, ' compare the results -and learn a profitable lesson, thus combin ing business with pleasure. Two or three days or even a week pent in this way will not be very ex pensive and a vast amount of valua ble Information may be gained, and you: will return home invigorated for the continuance of your work, and in formed as to the best method of doing It 8. M. Pike, In Massachusetts Ploughman. , - Alfalfa vs. Clover. Alfalfa is ready for cutting a full Atoms before red clover. There Is a strong advantage In dairy farming. since green crops are needed at the earliest possible moment In the spring. After cutting, alfafa springs Into growth more promptly than clover and a second crop Is produced with In six to eight weeks. Clover lasts ' two years and alfalfa ten to thirty years. . In New Jersey the average yield of green forage ' an acre was. ?,M0 jwun.ds for-jOtalfaairrTi.OOO pounds tor rea clover. 1 ne weienis of dry hay were 8258 pounds and 4 088 pounds, and of protelne, 2214 pounds and 618 pounds an acre, re spectively. In the same state alfalfa was found to contain 1809 pounds of ' dry matter and 265 pounds of protelne a ton, as compared with 1694 pounds . and 246 pounds for elbver. In other words, alfalfa not only yields two and one-half times as much as red clover, . but its feeding vslue is much greater pound for pound. Country Life In America. "Mutton Chops."

National Fruit Grower. Flttlna the Collar of Harm.. - Sore shoulders on horjii're often caused by poor!yJKgoiirs and a r-nWirof-rflpar treatment of the neck and shoulders during and after work hours. Dr. Currier In his Horse Sense gives some good Ideas In refervuee to fitting the collar for horses. He says: "Tbe horse collar la made over a form and suits the taste of the maker, and while thoroughly wet Then why not make the collar flt the form of the neck that is to wear ItT To do this, select a collar that will flt aa nearly as possible the horse it Is Intended for. On an evening thoroughly wet cloths enough to wrap them In that way, leaving the collar In that condition all bight It need, not be a new one, aa old one may be treated the same way. In the morning, and while wet and soft, put the collar on the horse, adjust U properly, also tbe names and hame tugs, and work the horse mod erately through the day, when tbe collar will be dry and adjusted ex actly to the form of the neck of the ( horse whose collar It must be right along. If by getting fatter or leaner the shape of the neck la changed, a reshaping of the collar may be ad visable, which can be done as In the first place." Each horse should have his own col lar every day. Our readers should not v . f it get this point If attended to In l';e start and then looked after there Is little (anger of sore shoulders I p the collar clean as well as tl e r !i and shoulders. It Is advlso'ilo remove the harness and collars dur- lng the mid-day meal. At night bathe the neck and shoulders with sslt and water and wipe dry. When a period of rest Is taken during the working hours, push the collar forward and al low the air to circulate freely about the neck and shoulders. Put the col lars In place again before starting tbe team up. The man who neglects to provide against the possibility of mak ing galls on his horse should not haa one. ' Hew I Ventilated My Dairy. Some years sgo when I got posses sion of the farm I found a dairy house built four feet deep and eight feet square with brick floor, which I thought would-be a good place for milk. It was cleaned out nicely and the milk was placed In it, but with all my care the milk would soon be clabber, and was often sour by dinner time, while my farmer's share of the milk would be sweet all day in a safe which was kept under a shady treo. although the thermometer showed the dairy was several degrees cooler. I concluded the trouble wss owing to want of ventilation in the pit to rid it of any acid vapor which must be the cause of the change mentioned, the add neutralising the soda or al kail that holds the casein In solution. To get rid of the acid vapor was the question to solve, as there was no ventilation around the milk. Because of the mobile nature of air I knew the slightest variation of temperature would create a circulation. To get this I built alongside of the old dairy a new one, with two four-Inch walla about six Inches apart giving a space around the building leaving an open outlet Into the brick trough connect ing the two, built on the floor, the out let being half a brick space every few inches slong the bottom of the trough, A thermometer Indicated that the air was two degrees cooler -than the air In the trough, wblch difference kept up the circulation night and day, dis placing the air In the trough. During my residence on the .farm till about the first ot October, we bad no trouble with milk turning to clabber, and oft en missed the cottage cheese for sup per, as there was no clabber to make it, oven fors breakfast, but plenty of sweet milk. Visiting the farm in November I found the milk all In my kitchen. On speaking to my overseer's wife about it, she Informed me she had to move It, as It was all Ice in the morning. I thought It was Impossible, as we had no freezing weather. So I had the night's milk put lu the dairy with the thermometer at about twenty-eight de grees. To my surprise the milk, wss all Ice In the morning and the secret was out The cold air circulating around the can soon extracted all the beat and the Iced milk was the result. while ' In tbe kitchen, with the ther mometer lower, there .was no trouble, the kitchen not being used In the winter, but kept closed. For twenty years we had no trouble from the middle of May until freezing weath At the present time weMMMu.no trouble winter or summer, as the water from an artesian well, temper ature fifty-eight degrees flows through the dairy and in the drain pipe to the bay. My tenant Informs me it keeps his milk, melons and cold meat In good order without Ice. The well flows thousands ot gallons in tbe twenty-four hours, discharging the water two feet above the surface. The layer ot sand from which the water comes Is 350 feet from the surface. A. P. Sharp, In American Cultivator. OUR AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS. The Large Thing We have Accom plished In Fifty Years. The (arm gardens,- "market gar dens," and "truck gardens" of today are the producer of a multitude of miscellaneous vegetables" almost un known fifty years ago. In the cen sus ot 1890 the large increase in gar den products was recognized, and systematic count of their bulk and value was made. It is possible. therefore, to make a ten-year compari son of the Increase ot such products, and this records the remarkable in creases of from 190 percent to 400 per cent In tbe Ave several divisions of the country. The North Atlantic States had a well-developed Industry in "garden products" before 1890, which accounts for Its relatively low Increase. However, 190 percent In ten years, while the population Increased only a trifle over 20 percent, is amaz ing. Could our great-granddaddles, who thought tomatoes poisonous and our great-grandmothers, who grew them as oranmental plants in window-pots. under the attractive name of "love apples," come back and realize that over thirty million bushels ot the pret ty poisonous vegetables are eaten as a common - and healthful food, they would surely' realize that time work wonderful changes. Another interest lng statement is that tbe lettuce crop of the, south has so Increased that In tbe spring of this year NortU Caro lina sent twenty earloada of that Vege table north in a single-day. Thirty-live years" ago celery Was k rarity even on hotel tables, and was used by few families, even ot wealth, Today It is a common edible, occupy lng thousands of acres in Michigan, Ohio and New York, One firm haa celery farms In Michigan, Florida and California, and because of the variety ot seasons it is engaged In shipping celery by the carload the whole year round. Twenty-two million bunches of radishes and twelve million bunch es of asparagus see the figures for the crops of these vegetables.

What a Kansas Man Derives from a Few Acres of It Success In raising horseradish de pends mainly on resetting it every spring.' Many farmers are under the impression that because It sends up strong shoots the second season they will have plenty of horseradish with out more labor. A man horf is mak ing from S300 to (400 a ycur from horseradish, anl never more than two acres of land is used. His meth od is this: Use roots about six or eight inches long and plant just far enough apart to boe between tho hills. Tbe rows are wide enough apart to cultivate between. The ground should be rich and loose, and be says sny land that will raise corn is suitable for horse radish. This man started with a few hills the first year. Tho next spring he dug every hill, cutting all the small slim roots off for planting and saving the large top roots to gratefortajlo use. The roots mjirt-be-Ttept covered with dlrtjwrtir ready. to plant, for if ItttrTn the sun and wind one day they scrivel and are not flt to uso. A horsepower is used tor grating and a windy day is always selected, for the vapor from horseradish is very severe. He grates a 60-pound lard can full 'and bottles it, selling It to the stores and butchers' shops atk10 and IS cents a bottle. He has bought a ten-acre farm, has it well Improved and is making a comfortable living from this vegetable alone, gathering also a neat sum from the sale of slips for planting. He hangs out a sign to the effect that they are only 16 cents a hundred, and, as one good hill will make 20 or more cuttings, his profit is large. Any time in April or May Is the proper time to set the cuttings. The horseradish can be left In the ground all winter and dug out in times of a thaw, for freezing does not hurt It, but it is better to plough It all out In tho fall, separate the roots for grat ing and planting, put all In tbe cellar and cover over with dirt N.

Our whole social fabric is honeycombed with It Prostitution ot office for tho asy dollar no longer shocks ns. Graft cannot exist without being discovered after a while. Cleaning up tainted money Is the new antisep tic game. Public exposures ot graft ing men are public benefactions. All honor to tbe publlo press In tbls work. Publicity Is the one great pun ishment that stares graft and bribery in tbe face. Success is the standard of Ufa. If a man steals or receives a bribe, Is found out and goes to prison, ha has only failed In his aim and Is unfortun ate. If he Is not found out and goes to Congress and dies In the odor ot bribery, he has succeeded," and we are not to condemn him in tho beat o hie temptation. ' ftossettl'a East Indian Visitor. Gabriel Dante s Rossetti, poet and painter, was one visited by an East Indian prince who said to aim; . "t wish to give you a commission to paint a portrait of my father." "Is your father in London r asked Rossetti. .-.----v : "No, my father, la dead," replied tbe Oriental "Have yon some photographs of him or any portrait!" . "We have no portraits ot him of any kind," - "How can I paint a portrait of him, then?" asked the artist. "It la Impos sible. I could' not think ot attempt ing anything ao absurd." "Why is it absurd r demanded -the prince gravely. "Ton paint pictures of Mary Magdalene and - Circe and John the Baptist, and yet you have never seen any of them. Why can yorl not paint my father The prince was so insistent that Rossetti yielded In sheer desperation. He painted an ldeil head that was certainly Oriental and also regal In Its bearing. The prince came to the studio In great state to view it. When the canvas was uncovered he looked at it steadily and then burst Into tears. " "How father has . changed!" he cried.
