MIDSUMMER READING FOR TIRED FARMERS. 
The man who will not keep a good lot of 
cattle on his farm, deserves to bo troubled 
with eattle-iptic fits. Grass is generally cheap, 
and if tbo meadow's crop is cut short, some 
can find enough. gras3 among their corn to 
pay for turning their cattle into thu field; then 
your wheat may be growing too rank, and 
need cropping off a bit, and cattle will cer¬ 
tainly do tho job better than anything else 
that I know of. Then again, how easy it is 
for them to get through the ferce into your 
neighbor’s fields, where there is plenty to eat! 
It does seem to me that stock is an easy crop 
to cultivate. I would want also a good cow 
for milk, say about a four-year-old calf , of the 
Isle of Cowes breed, a short-horned, rauley, 
and not too largo. I would prefer a small 
cow, for if I was driving her down the lane to 
pasture, and blasting the hoy for being off to 
the creek swimming, and she should try to 
run off, I could catch her and throw her over 
the fence and frustrate her designs; besides, if 
she got unruly at milking time, it would be 
an easy matter to take her on my lap and 
milk her, aud save a world of trouble. An 
oleomargarine cow I would not have under 
any consideration. The more milk you give 
a cow to drink the more milk will sho surren¬ 
der; but fanners do not seem to consider this. 
It will bo richer milk, and require less time 
to boil it down into butter or cheese. 
Horses are indispersablo to a farm, because 
I’d like to kuo w how without them you are ever 
to get to town ou convention or fair days, or 
take your city visitors around all tho time 
through t.he neighborhood and back to dinner?

ness is apt to break them down. If you need 
horses for that purpose, borrow them of your 
neighbor. Sweep your horses off every morn¬ 
ing with a long-handled broom through a hole 
in the stall; this will remove the dust. Havo 
tho shoemaker to look well to the shoes, espec¬ 
ially in Winter; In Summer it is warm, and 
horses do not need shoes. 
Stock your farm well with sheep; they are 
valuable inside and out. The South Down 
breed, from down South, is good, their down 
being the most downy. With plenty of these 
you can pnll tho wool over your neighbors’ 
eyes. Keep the old Kamesis in the orchard to 
hustle the town boys out. Get the best Hair 
Renewer you can, and go over your sheep 
every day, and shave them once a year; this 
will promote the growth of the wool, and 
comb them daily. Do not keep any half wool 
and half cotton sheep, for they will hardly 
pay. Of course, you do not want all-wool 
sheep; part you want mutton, which is con¬ 
sidered excellent to chew. 
You should keep pigs in plenty—It is an in¬ 
sult to call pig?, hogs, and no genteel pig will 
stuud it. Keep them inside of tight fences; 
they seem to have a better eye than a hired 
man, and can find a weak point in tho palings 
quicker than he can. Some pigs keep thin for 
the purpose of lying flat and sliding under a 
fence. With a very little trouble in the Spring 
you can get tho whole flock into a ten-acre 
field aud they will root It up in half a day, 
uml thus save plowing. Th.>y are very handy 
for that, 
I am glad to see that our old farmers are 
turning their attention more to poultry than 
they used to, aud at our boarding house now 
we occasionally get a chicken, which is a good 
sign. Since the introduction of incubators the 
hens have a great load taken off their hands, 
and all they have to do is to contract to fur- 
ni-h the eggs, to which th»y can now devote 
their whole attention, if they have any get- 
up, orget-down alioufcthein. Poultry can pick 
up an easy living on a farm, if your boys will 
let the worms alone, and quit fishing so much. 
Chickens reared in the old fashion, hold up 
their heads and crow over those which are hand¬ 
made, but the latter cun bo more independent 
in this world, not being tied to a mother’s 
apron-strings. Plenty of poultry iu tho coun¬ 
try is a pleasing feature in the landscape, and 
{s not only suggestive but profitable. Be care¬ 
ful what sort of eggs you set, for bad, tough 
old fowls, PU assure you, come from bad, old 
eggs. W ith EUub cattleasareabove described 
there is nothing to prevent a farmer from 
being more independent.
