Kaunas Wolt Bonntlrt. Owing to the losses eYery year of m many sheep, pips, calves and fowls from depredations by wolves, coyotes, wildcats and foxes, the Kansas Im jirored Stock Breeders at their annual meeting in Jannary, appointed a com mutes to work for snch legislation as wonld authorize a hicher bonnty, at least for wolf scalps the amended law 01 1889 authorizing county commis sioners to pay not to exceed $3 for each scalp. To aid the committee, at least to the extent of knowing definite ly what has been done under tbo new law, Secretary Ooburn, of tho Stnto Board of Agricnltnro, has interviewed each one of the connty clerks in tho Blnte as to the amonnt expended by his county in each of tho four years mentioned toward tho extermination of the predatory prowlers. From the 105 counties ninety-six reports were received; nino counties failed or declined to report. Seventy three paid and twenty-three did not pBy bounties. In 1890 fifty-two coun ties paid $11,910 ; in 1891 fifty-eight conntiespaid $15,233; in 1892, fifty seven counties paid $14,931, nnd in 1893, sixty-five counties paid $17,591, The total amount paid in the four years by seventy-three counties is $59,668. The foregoing figures include the bounties paid on a few fox, wildcat nnd rabbit scalps, but in the main rep resent wolves or coyotes. In the vari ous counties tho amounts per scalp have been fifty cents for cubs and from one to three dollars for grown wolves. Secretary Coburn says that tho asses sors last year reported 157,000 dogs in tho State, and he thinks if these were what they onght to be and nsed to the best advantage there would be less need to pay bounties Bnd fewer varmints on which to pay tliein.

The best ear marks for sheep are the metal nickel plated loops, upon which re stamped the owner's name and the nnmhers of the sheep. To distinguish the ewes from the other sheep they may be marked in the right ear, the others in the left. An easy way to further distinguish any special sheep is to put the marks in perpendicularly in the ears, the others being put in horizontally. The numbers are used in the record book of those sheep that are so desired to be distinguished. New York Times. THE rKRFECT FARM HORSE. The perfect farm horse has not been developed yet, and it is prob able that there may not be entire con currence in the ideal drawn. This summary of its accomplishments, how ever, is not beyond attainment. It must have the size and strength to draw a plow with ease : the stvle and action necessary to make a trip to market and back in the least possible time; of a dooile disposition, but not to the detraction of nerve, a most necessary qualification of a good farm horse ; and, lastly, it must be such a horse as can anccpaafiillv mwi i,Amt,a. tition in the sale ring.

Who doesn't love chrysanthemums? Yet comparatively few raise them, tho reason usually given being that they are too much trouble. Mirny others, not knowing that they can be raised from seed, thinking the plants must be purchased from a florist, do not raise them on account of the expense. One nice way to manage them is to fit a lot of egg-shells into a box, fill the shells with sandy soil, and in each one plant a seed, covering them to a depth equal to about twice the thick ess of the seed. Care for them as for any other seed. If plauted about the last of February they will be ready to transplant by the time all danger of frost is gone. Transplant each plant into a five or six iuch plot. Sink the pot in the earth in the garden where they will get the morning sun, but will bo partially shaded in the after noon. Water if necessary, but they will require little else. In August they should be trimmed back to twelve or fourteen inches in height so that they will branch out aud thus bear many flowers. In September it is well to begin giving them manure water two or three times a week. Not absolutely necessary, of course, but it will pay any one to go to the trouble, for the blooms will be not only more abundant but larger aud more brilliant. They should be removed to the house early enough in the fall to insure against frost, but should be put in a room without tire at first. Indeed, the cooler the plants are kept after they ouoe begin to blossom the longer the bloom willhtst, and by a little manage ment may be kept for Christmas blooming, To do this tL6v should be more sUdci tUu U (Hit)' viitU 44 fivt out back so early in the season.

THE FARMER'S GARDEN. It is probably true that farm gar dens, vegetable and fruit gardens, will be more generally cultivated this year than ever before, for the reason that we are daily learning more of the re quirements of life and discover them only in a well supplied table, and that the latter is found only where the kitchen garden affords the necessary material. Man is not altncnfhnr a maat. eater ; indeed we have learned that witn iresu vegetables and fruits from a properly conducted garden with oreara and butter and eggs he is much bet ter oft and likely to enjoy better health than with more meat. Less meat and DOStrv. less hlVh liviner and A tf Q a nearer approach to nature's own neaitn giving products will nour- isu anu Bustain tne animal eoonomy with less irritation of the mental and physical systems, less indigestion and constipation and a heartier, happier tone generally.

DeeD Cultivation. Perfect fillaira an J thorough manuring with stable or uaru yaru manure are tne main requi sites to success. Take, then, one of the trreat seed catalocnea and anlact bt seed you want for the first year. If you are short of help select fewer va rieties, but have them so as to supply a continuous variety from tho earliest spring till frost comes, and even then have a Btore of snch as will keep through the winter. The American farmer should be the best fed man in the world, princes and kings not ex cepted ; and he will be if he only lays himself out to produce for his own table fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh milk, butter, eggs and poultry, and fresh meat when it may be convenient ly had. The beautifully gotten up seed catalogues published by our ad vertisers for gratuitous distribution should be in every farmhouse in the country and be freely and fully con sulted. They not only remind one of the varieties needed, bnt, as a rule, tell how they are to be cultivated so as to insure the best results. The making of the garden and the planting thereof may come just when all hands and horses are wanted for other work, but better employ extra help to make it than not have a cardan at all It should be so planted as to admit of horse cultivation, Column's Bural World. FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. A good horse is often spoiled by be ing worked with a balky one. It is in working the butter that the fine art of butter-making comes in. Eggs from pullets are not apt to hatch as well as those from adult fowls. In every countrv school acrrinnltnra horticulture and dairying should be taught. Poultry powders are rarelv rennirarl for flocks that are fed and cared for properly. The secret in crowinor larce and fin chickens is to feed often and but little at a time. There is a better market for small cheeses than for those weighing forty or fifty pounds. Fropei care and feeding are even more necessary than breeding for early maturity of stock. Ducks begin to lay at an early age aud require liberal feediug to sustain the drain on their system. It rarely happens that two breeds of chickens or turkeys can be kept on a farm without getting mixed. From one to three years is the profit able age of a hen, aud unless she has particular merit as a layer should not be allowed to live louger. Little ducks require almost twice as much food as chicks, but they grow very rapidly. They should be fed four times a day aud given all they will eat. It is said that nnreuderecl beef tal low chopped into very small pieces aud mixed ia the feed for two or three days will put a flue gloss on the plum age of show birds. Unless a farmer manages to keep his stock in good appetite he cannot feed at a profit, because loss of appetite necessarily implies that some food eaten has contributed nothing to nutrition. Cheese kept in a cool place and wrapped in a clean cloth frequently dipped in cold water and wrung out will never suffer from mites, while the moisture will improve the quality of the cheese. The Dunes divide their cattle into two classes, and provide that there shall alwuys be a .number of spring calves aud a number of autumn culves.

An appliance that will at once recom mend itself as a useful accessory to the kitchen is a table grooved and inclined so thnt all the water upon it drains to an outlet at the front into tho basin ia which the articles have been washed, and which is placed tinder tho outlet. A great many plates, cups, saucers, jugs, decanters and such ware can be drained at the same time. Ity a bar, which is fitted across tho table, all articles placed in the rack are held quite seourely, without possibility of slipping. It is made entirely of wood, so that no part will rust, and the ware plaood upon it is not liable to be chipped. The rack, lege aud all parts can be folded up iuto a very small space, and quite flat, without the least trouble, so it takes up little room when not in use, andean be hung upon the wall if desired.

To one who has never kept an ac count of the expenses and income of the house it may seem like quite an undertaking, but when it is once be gun, one gets so interested in it that it beoomes easy. There is suoh satis faction in knowing just what the fam ily expenses are and what proportion of them we have paid by our own ef forts. To begin, provide yourself with a firmly bound blank book, not too small ; twelve inches long by eight wido is a convenient size. It will cost less than fifty cents. Select one ruled for single entry bookkeeping, as this will give more room on a page of the size named. Begin a new page each month for both dry goods and groceries, and if you have a large credit aoconut use a separate page for that. I usually make one page do for dry goods and credit by marking a divided line across the page near the middle and using the lower half for credit. Write at the head of eaoh page the name of the month of the year, and the words "Groceries, etc.," and "Dry Goods, eto.," across tho pages intendod for those entries. Let the "eto." stand for things that are neither one nor the other, but which for convenience may be set down with them, such as things bought for the kitchen in the way of cooking utensils, dishes, and such articles. The dry goods page may also hold entries of furniture, of all kinds of books and papers and such things. Date eaoh entry at the left hand and place the amount paid in the space provided for it at the right. At the end of each month add the amounts up and set down undor their respective columns, aud at the end of the year it will bo only necessary to look at these figures to see what the expenses for the year have been. Keep the credit account as carefully and foot up each month's credit separately. This account will consist of all income from the cows and the poultry, and from any other source which is under the management of the women of the household. To avoid the necessity of going to the book eaoh time an entry is neces sary, mako a "day book" of a common school tablet. Tack it to the kitohon wall, keep a calendar juBt above it and a pencil hanging beside it. Only a moment is required to set down an item, and the leaf may be torn off and "posted up" on the book each even ing, or as often as necessary. Farm, Field and Fireside RECTPE3.
