Sorghum Cane.

\ correspondent Of the Chicago
Prairie Farmer, writing from Marys-
vile, Texas, considers the sorghum
cane crop of great valne to every
farmer, where it will grow with any
thing like success, which it will do in
the greater part of the country. Tho
correspondent, T. J. W., says:
"To feed to hoys--cspccially to
young hogs growiug-l consider it
better than corn. Corn is moro fat
producing, but in feeding young hogs,
corn is too dry aud solid to make
them thrive; they want something
more easy Of digestion and n"urisl>
ing. BY actual experience l know
that sorghum fills tho bill, and is
very easy of production, requiring
scarcely more than half the labor Of
a corn crop.
"lt comes in month or two earlier
than corn; so it can be used for feed
ing during the dry, warm season.
The farmer can have his hogs almost
fat, and thriving SO we'll against cool
weather, that it requires but little
corn to convert his hog into pork.
However, these arc not the only 'cas-
ons Why we should raise it. 1t is
easily made into molasscs, and of Il
quality, when properly made, equal
to the best Louisiana syrup. After
using it for years prefer it TO any
other. Some farmers havo failed to
make the cane pay, simply because
they didn't begin property. There
are four kinds of the sorghum. l
have raised all varieties, and after
fifteen years experience l have no
hesitation in saying which is the best.
The Chinese, or black top; the A.
lican, or red top; Aabien; the Seed
Ribbon. The last is my choice, as I
consider it possesses tho good quail
tics Of all the rest, or nearly SO.

Scabby Legs IN Poultry
American AGRICULTURAL

| A''' we" ~ lCuItulHl.
The unsishtly disease which af;ccta
the legs of fowls, causing them lc
swell and become distorted, is due to
a mite . small Insect which is similar
III appearance to that whicl, causes
Scab in sheep. 1t is roundish oval,
and semi-transparent, about one
clsht-lunt(rcath of an inch in length.
appearing, when magniIied 400 diane
tcrs, about half an inch long. If the
ca|es from the leg of diseased
fowl are beneath the microscope, u
number of these mites may he found
between them. Beneath the scales
there are apongy, scabby growths, in
which the eggs and pure of the miles
arc to be seen in great numbers. The
oup;e are very similar in shape to the
mature mites, but are very much
smaller. appearing, when viewed
with the above mentioned power,
about one tenth of an inch in length.
The disease being of a similar char
actcr to the scab in sheep. or the
mango in dogs and cattle, and it may
be cured by tue same treatment. We
have cured fowls Of the disease, be.
fore accurately knowing the cause, by
applying to the legs a mixture of lard
with one-twentieth part of carbolic
acid. This should be applied with
stiff brush, such as one of those sold
with bottles of mucilage. A very
small painters "sash tool" would an.
swcr the purpose, but something
must be used by which the medlca,cd
grease can be applied thoroughly to
the crevices between the scales. A
mixture of equal parts of lard, or
sweet~ol) and kerosene, will he equal

oil alone would he effective, but Tho
kerosene moro easily penctrates be-
tween the scales, and the carbolic
acid is sure death to the parasites.
The remedy being so simple, it will
be inexcusable if this disagrceable
affection is suffered to remain III a
flock; while, however, ono fowl is
troubled with it, it will certainly
spread, as the mites will hnrrow be-
meath tho scales of the other flows.
If precautions were generally used,
the parasite could soon be cxttrmium-
ted. 1t should be made {, 'lisqualili
cation at poultry shows. for fowls to
be affected with scabty legs OF feet,
in any degree whatever, for we know
that several poultry yards are not
free from this disease, and whenever
fowls are sen. out, the dis
case goes with them.

farm at Long Lake, Manitoba. Two
Of these are calves brought from the
west last fall, the others are older,
some of them full grown. They feed
with cattle during the winter, accom-
pany them to the river for water
every day, and are among the first to
enter the warm stables for shelter at
night. The but1alocs, from natural
instinct, are conscious of an approach

retire to comfortable quarters iu the

TO prevent saddle. gals, the saddle
should be liucd with some smooth,
hard substance. Flannel or WOODEN
cloth is bad. A hard, flushed, smootl,
rawhide lining, similar to those Of tho
military saddles, is preferable. Then,
if the saddle is properly fitted to tho
horses back, there will be no gals
unless the horse is very hardly used.
Calls should be washed with soap and
water, and then with 4 solution Of
three grains of copperas or blue W.T.

which will harden the surface. and

Have you risen from your bed after short sleep
to nnd yourself nearly suffocated with Catarrhal
matter in your nose, head, and throat? Have you
noticed what depressing influence it exercises on
the mind, bunting its faculties, besides enervating
the body well? How difficult to rid the head of
this foul matter all can testify who are afflicted
with Catarrh. How difficult to protect the system
against it's further progress towards the lungs and
bronchial tubes all physicians can testify. 1t is a
terrible disease and cries out for relief. To be
freed from the danger of suffocation while lying
down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and undis.
turbed; to know that no poisonous putrid matter
deiles the breath and undermines the system to
know that the body does not, through its veins and
ries carry the poison thai is sure to destroy, is
indeed a blessing. To purchase immunity from
such fate should be the object of all afflicted But

How to Prepare Botanical Specimens.

Amateur botanists who propose roam
ing about the fields and forests this sum-
mer in quest of specimens for their herb
aria will be interested in the following
extract from the English Mechanic, Civ
ing directions for the preservation of the
plants:
"Small plants should have the roots;
and, if possible, obtain specimen of
each at different seasons the young
plant, the flower, and when the seed or
fruit is nearly ripe. Get quire of good
blotting paper and couple of large
boards and paper on which to mount
your specimens. Let the boards be
about the same size as the blotting paper.
Deny paper of good quality is the best
size for mounting. Arrange your plants
between the sheets of blotting paper
some plants require several thicknesses
and see that the leaves, ETC., are prop
erly disposed on the paper, as you will
not be able to alter them when they are
dry. 1t is a good plan to interpose few
sheets of cardboard, as it prevents one
plant from spelling another. When your
drying paper is filed, put the whole be-
tween your boards and subject to press

hours, and dry the paper, correcting any
displacement as you go on; when dry
they are ready for mounting. Don't
gum or paste them to the paper, but
make short Sits with penknife under
the stalks about one-eighth inch long
Take piece of paper as broad as the
slit is long, fold the paper, and pass it
over the stalk, and through the hole at
the back, and gum the ends on the back

Surgery in the Pioneer Days of Mis-
souri,.

1t has been truly said that immigration
to the West, and to Missouri particular
ly, came in waves. The first commenced
in 1916 These waves always kept in
advance of municipal regulations, and of
nearly all the appliances of civilized
life. Among the first settlers in Old
Pike were John Duke, Thomas Buchanan
and one or two others in the neighbor-
hood of where Paynesville now stands.
The nearest surgeon was at st, Charles,
nearly fifty miles away. In the process
of building houses, opening farms, ETC.,
casualties of serious nature often took
place. The nerve and boldness of char
acter so peculiarly necessary to the early
pioneers were never more prominently
developed than in the case of the parties
above named, and one or two others
whose names have escaped my memory.
There were but four families, as rec
ollect, within ten or twelve miles, and
these near together.
One morning Duke and another man
were engaged in chopping timber, the
ground being very wet and muddy.
Dukes tree fell against another and
lodged, the butt still resting on the
stump, While chopping of the splin-
tiers the tree suddenly twisted, slipped
off the stump and caught his right foot
and leg, and literally crushing It to a
jelly up TO about six inches above the
knee, and sinking him deep in the mud.
His cOmrade came TO his relief, but had
to chop off the log twice before he could
be removed. He was taken 10 one OF the
cabins and, general consultation of the
four called; his leg in its crushed condi-
tion bound up as we'll as possible with
the means at hand, and BUCHANAN
started to 81. Charles for surgeon

There Was No Complaint.

He was a singularly grave man, even
for sexton. For nearly half century
he had been a public functionary-had
performed the conspicuous duties of a
sexton; yet no one had ever seen him
smile. Occasionally he joked, but he
did it in such funeral manner that no
one could accuse him of levity.
One day he was standing on the church
steps, wiping his melancholy features
with a red bandana. A hearse stood
near, and three or four carriages were
drawn up behind it. The notes of the
organ fioated out of the open windows
with solemn effect. A stranger came
along and said;
FuneralY"
And the old sexton gravely bowed his
head-it was.
"Who's deadsp
The old man again wiped his brow and
gave the name of the deceased.
What complaints" asked the lnquisi.
tive stranger.
Solemnly placing his bandana in his
hat and covering his bald head, the old
sexton made answer;
"There Is no complaints everybody Is
entirely satisfied, - Worcester PTsss.

No MATTER how mismanaged. clover
is a benefit, and, whatever else he may
do, the farmer who grows clover is
making his farm better. What, then,
might not the result be, if the same care
were taken of the clover field as of
other crops? 1t does not need cultivating;
the long, deep-reaching roots mellow and
pulverize the soil as nothing else can. If
the clover grows thriftily, the top acts as
a mulch, seeding the ground and keep
ing it moist. A Cropof two tons or more
of clover, whether plowed under or
cut for hay, can hardly fail to leave the
soil better than it was before. 1t should
be the farmers aim to grow the largest
possible crops of clover. A slight dress
ing of gypsum-one hundred pounds
per acre in early spring-often produces
wonderful results. But If farmer has
a little well.rotted manure, the scrap
ings of barnyards, fall is the time to
apply it, Clover is often injured by
freezing and thawing in winter, and a
very slight covering of manure will
afford great deal of protection. Rich
earth from corners of fences is well
worth drawing a short distance on young
clover, provided the ground is hard and
firm. II the field is not moved next
season cOarser manure can be used
