Chewing the Cud'

Illumination or chewing the cud, says
a writer, is the process whereby the
Illuminating animals collect their food,
and with little or no mastication when
such food is perfectly soft and moist, as
in grass, they form it into bolus, and
with little expenditure of saliva, they
put it down the outlet into the paunch,
which, when it has become distended
with a sufficient quantity, stimulates
the animal to seek for rest and quiet,
and he commonly lies down. The paunch
begins now to exert its extraordinary
powers of separating portion from the
contained mass, and to return it into
the mouth, where it undergoes COM
pIete mastication; being retained from
falling out of the mouth again by the
numerous papille or roughness on the
tongue, which are pointed backwards,
and also by the ridges of the palate;
sufficiently masticated and mixed with
the saliva, it is again passed down the
throat, but instead of again entering the
first stomach, the muscular gutter forms
itself into a tube, and carries it at once
into the third stomach where, having to
undergo further change, it is pressed
into the red bag Fourth stomach), to
undergo further solution by means Of
the gastric fluid, preparatory to its be-
ing converted into nutriment under the
name of chyle.

ed through the ground 1t is known
that wheat, on compact ground, is not
spewed out as is wheat on loose ground
This is sometimes accounted for by the
greater resistance which compact
ground would offer to the frost, and also
the greater tenacity with which it
would embrace the roots. But ground
cannot be so compacted as to resist the
expansive force of freezing water. The
reason is that there is less water to ex.
pand. Besides, grain terminates most
readily in compact soil, and the plant is
more thrifty in fine ground, hence,
plants in such seed bed have more
vigor to endure the winter. The work
on the seed bed 'or wheat should begin
early and be thorough.-Amerlcan Ag-
riculturist.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1886-08-06
Preparing the Wheat Land.

Begin blowing for wheat at the earl
lest post-harvest moment. This will
prevent a growth of weeds; and you
will gain the aid of the rain, sun and
air in pulverizing and packing the
ground. Pass, each evening, with a
heavy roller, over what has been plowed
during the day. AS the ground is dry,
there is no danger of its packing too
solid, if this is done. Rolling will crush
the clods, before they have hardened;
it will also preventive drying out of the
ground. 1t is great mistake not to
follow close after the pillow with the
roller; the clods harden and the ground
becomes so dry that part of the wheat
will not terminate. Allow the ground to
lie until shortly before you desire to
sow. Then harrow and roll until the
ground is fine and solid. Apply the
barn-yard manure, just before this, that
stirring the ground may mix it through
the soil. The seed bed for wheat can
not be made too fine, nor too solid if
fine. No crop is benefited more than
wheat by undertaking. Wheat is
"spewed out" by the freezing of the
water in the ground. Dry earth
does not freeze; no degree of cold will
cause it to expand. But water expands;
hence, when the water in the
ground freezes it hoists the surface up
aud the wheat plants with it. The wet
ground, being heavier than the roots of
the wheat, settles down in the spring,
leaving the roots exposed. Underdrain-
Jig largely lessons this, because it re-
moves all surplus water from the
ground. Plants really require very lit
tie moisture about their roots. just
that amount which will imperceptibly
diffuse itself through the earth, is best.
More, suffocates the plant. Uuderdrain-
ing reduces the water in the soil to-, or
maintains it at, the proper amount,
hence. undertaking is the most effec-
tive means against winter killing. Max.
Tag the seed bed very fine and solid has
much the same effect. There is no
surplus of water; and the water is diffus-

Dehornlng Cattle,

II. II. Haaff writes the Stochman:
Dehorning cattle ought to be pushed.
Ought to become as common as castra-
ton. Everybody that has tried it says
so. After a short absence from my
home, on my return 1 found nearly a
hundred letters of inquiry or of congrat-
ulation, and most of them had word
on this subject. Mr.. Van HIGHLANDER,
of Ellsworth, Kan, says: From the
first I've watched your progress with
interest. All the horns on my rancho
have to 90. 1 write for price of saw

FARM MISCELLANY.
Farmers Congress.

I have recently learned through Col
Beverly, of Virginia, that the Farmers
Congress meets August 23th next, IN
st, Paul, Minnesota. The object of
that Congress seems to be "to advance
the agricultural interests of the Union
It's constitution upon representation Is
the same as that of the United States
each state and territory shall have the
same number of representatives as they
have in the Congress of United States.
This is a move among the farmers
decidedly in the right direction. Every
trade or art in this broad land is already
organized for the mutual interest OF
each other, except the farmers, and re-
ceives more or less protection from the
national or state governments. Conse-
quently we are the pack horses of
society and will be so until we kick up
and throw our riders in the mud. That
can only be successfully done by thor
ough organization in every county and
state. Such an organization we'll officer
cd would command respect and assure
us success in our noble calling.
The writer for one gives his voice
for speedy organization of the farmers
of Maryland to meet the coming Farm
ers' Congress at St. Paul. Constituting
as we do, forty four per cent. of the
population of the whole country, our
numbers would command respect when
organized. O. n. BRYAN.
Charles Co.. Maryland, IN american
Farmer Baltimore.
To form such an organization, and
permanently establish it on enduring
basis, it is necessarily attended with
considerable annual expense. If the
Cong can organize some system OF
taxation among farmers to support the
national Congress and its state branches
by making 1t pecuniary benefit 20 those
who pay their tax to its support, great
work will have been done for the ag.
ricultural industry. Farmers are appar'
emily made of such uncohesive stuff
that We fear, unless a visible pecuniary
gain to them in the immediate future
can be provided, that the effort to
unite them will prove truitless one.
Blindly voting for some party they
suppo~e they belong to by inheritance
is the only thing we have known farm
ers, as class, to steadfastly adhere to. |

opinion that your way is the right way
to have cattle live peaceably together.
| want to see you operate. MIR. Noyes,
big cattle man of Iowa, says: have
read all | could find on the subj ect, and
| am converted. AS soon as the wealth
er is suitable there are plenty who will
90 at it. Can you come up here, etc?
Messrs. Parker and Hardy say: You
are performing humane work and we
trust you will 60 forward. People who
have never tried it without horns, know
nothing of the advantages, etc Mr..
Ryan, of Grant Co Wis, says: have
watched the ups and downs of dehorn-
ing, in The Rural and ,Stockman. l
must say that what at first seemed to
me to be cruel, now seems to be COM
mon sense. Mr.. McCleary, of Bolivar,
says: Have read with great interest.
and [ propose to try it on my own cat.
tie, etc. Mr. Richie, of Rochelle, says:
think your method of dehorning far
from being cruel. 1t is of great benefit.
If you ever come in this section I'll
take it as a special favor to know it.
Mr.. Coleman says: We will give you
hearty welcome if you will visit us.
Mr.. Clark of Onarga, says: My neigh
Dor lost $500 horse by an old cow and
we wish you would come here. We
need little missionary work done here.
Mr.. Carrill, of Jacksonville, says:
We are for dehorning. Our Holsten
bull was like bully with pistol in
his hand but now he is like a bully
with the pistol in the other fellows
hand. I am for dehorning. Mr.. Taf-
ford, of Fergus Falls, says: Every
horn will come off before winter. The
result of your movement will, as sure as
the day follows the night, prove of in.
estimable value to mankind. Mr.. Moore,
of Cerro Gordo says: [ am firm be-
lever in the fact that cattle should be
hornless, and want directions, etc.
Mr. Crosby of Catorville, says: [ must
confess that you have completely upset
my theories regarding the cruelty and
painfulness of the operation. Mr.. Nc
Pherson of Rangely, says: 1 think the
practice good one and our three thous-
and head must be dehorneG. Mr.. Nc
Weigh of Sedalia, says: | have dehorned
three animals. One had just killed a
man. I want the benefit of your exper-
fence. Mr.. Smith of Michigan says:
have practiced it in small way since
April, 1885. Want your book. Mr..
Stoole, of Table Rock, says: We think
it good thing but l have some stubs.
Now these and host of others who
feel in similar mood come from in
quirers of the truth. Men who wish
their cattle dehorned are only repre-
sentative of all or nearly all in their
several localities. The same anxiety to
learn afflicts all alike, from Gov. Oglesby
up or down, as suits your several minds.

P. Hess, our well known citizen
and lawyer, has decided to be q
candidate for the honorable posi-
ton of Judge Of the 9th Judicial
Circuit. Judge Hess has been an
active practitioner at the bar for
nearly twenty years, and has
established a reputation as an able
and successful attorney. His
perceptions of legal distinctions
are clear and quick, and his judge
ment would readily be made up on
all legal ques ions that would.
arise. He would also take great
pride in discharging the duties of
judge and would act independent
of any bias. If he should receive
the nomination he viii enter the
contest with great earnestness and
would make strong race. From
what we can learn Mr.. Hess will
develop great strength in Macon
County, and will probably carry
larger vote at home than any can
didate outside of the county. He
is the only candidate from Macon
County and will make vigorous
canvass.-Macon Republican.
