FARM NOTES.
Hints and Facts That May Be o
Value to TiilerS Of the Soil.

One of the simplest contrivances to
mitigate the sutferings and enhance the
efficiency of working horses was re-
Gently presented at New Jersey fair.
1t consists of spring at the point where
the traces join the whlff1etree. At the
Eastern railway station, at Paris, the
horses used for shifting the cars from
point to point have been provided with
chain traces terminating in spiral
springs. Since this system was intro
duced, about six years ago. there has
been marked Improvement in the con-
ditiOn of the horses, and there has been
much saving i'll the breaking OF chains
and harness. The horses have learned
that steady, even strain serves better
than the quOndam jerk at starting, ana
there has been found to be fewer sore
necks, and the animals experience less
fatigue. and are generally in Sounder
condition.
OF the composition of wool this esti-
mate has been given: Carbon, 80 per
cent: hydrogen, z; nitrogen, II; oxygen,
q. and sulphur. 5. While IS per cent
would be organic, 2 per cent would be
ash. The fiber varies in diameter, the
delicate Saxon Merino being the tn if
teen-thousandth of an inch, and the
SouthdoWn the eleven-thouSandth
Soundness of fiber indicates health.
Lustrous wool is long and strong, some
times twenty inches in length. Old
sheen usually lose the power of produc-
ing the best wool. As rule, the wool
of marshy and stormy localities is poor,
though the wool of Shetland has always
been famous; but in this case the breed
has remained uncontaminated with III
ferior breeds.
MIR. Dodge in his last report shows
that the weight of the measured buShel
of wheat in this country varies from so
to 6S pounds. and the average is less
than 80 pounds. For five years begin
ming with 1888 and ending with 1887,
the average weight was SO pounds. A
Minnesota wheat dealer Kept record
for twelve years, and made an average
of IS pounds. This. of course. includes
all grades, and is "thresher's measure"
Estimates of the department. so far as
possible. are made on the measured or
thresher's bushel, and later in the sea-
son, after enough wheat has been mar
keted, the quality is taken into eonsid-
Grafton.
Ten thousands of dollars have been
wasted in 1888 by the farmers of Wis
consin. aad the end is not yet, by stack
ing and and husking corn, instead OF
putting 1t in a good silo, SAYS Hoard's
Dairyman. They will waste a large
per cent of the stalks yet. The corn in
the crib will waste good deal. and the
threshing and grinding toll is to be paid
vet. Who pays for all this toll and
foolishness? Nobody-not one red cent.
The labor is q dead loss, and the loss
in feeding Value varies with the weather
and the quality of the shelter.

DEVON CATTLE.
A Favorite Breed for Bees in En-
gland. With Rich Milk.

Mr.. Youatt says the Devon will not on
" take on flesh rapidly, giving better
results in proportion to feed and care,
and consequently pay the producer
larger profit than other breeds, but in
the great markets of England, notably
in those of London (the capital of the
"beef-eaters' the flesh of the Devon
ranks second only in quality to the lit
tie Highland OK, and is recognized as of
superior value both to the butcher and
he consumer: to the butcher, because
it is weight in those parts which brings
the highest prices, and that the Devon
dresses a larger proportion of clean
meat to the weight Of the living
animal: or. in other words there
is less of otfal than with other breeds:
and to the consumer, because the meat
is more perfectly notified, the fat and
lean being so perfectly mingled as TO
make it the ideal beef. The milk of the
Devon is rich in caseine and butter,
Yields its milk slowly and is for drink
ing purposes superior TO that OF any OF
the breeds of cattle. In product OF
quantity the butter is second only to the
Jersey, and in quality second to none.
DevopS are favOrlteS wherever cattle
are used for draft. They make the most
handsome OK as to form, the very best
as to strength, sagacity, quickness of
movement and docility. The uniform
ity of size, color and general appearance
gives TO herd of Devons greater beauty
than any other breed of cattle. and the
cattle are more uniformly good specl-
mems of the breed. Til, II dnciiity is
remarkable. and vicious Devon bull
is exceedingly rare.

BOLTING HORSES.
A Harvard Professors Method Of
Controlling Them.

Prof. r. II. Harrison, of the veterin-
airy school of Harvard College. says
Wallace's Monthly, has completed some
interesting experiments of new device
for controlling refractory horses. A
valuable trOtting horse, which formerly
went under the name of Gray Eagle,
and which has record of 2:22, was sent
to the school for treatment of frac-
tured jaw, which was the result of at
tempts to control him. The animal had
the habit of taking the bit in his
teeth and boiling. DR.. Harrison
contrived to connect the bit by two
small wires along the reins with
small galvano-faradic battery,
which he carried in the buggy. 1t was
so arranged that the driver could give
an electric shock of greater or less in
tensity to the horse, but which would
not do the animal any injury. DR.. Har-
riSon took care to use the continuance
only with the use of the words whoa"
and STEADY" The trial was an imma-
date success. The horse, after two or
three shocks, at once became docile and
ODeyed the drivers commands instantly.
A final trial was given the horse under
trying circumstances. He came to
halt from 2:40 gait, or to walk, with
equal docility, Oh the drivers order. He
was tried under conditions which Ordi-
narily would have frightened him and
caused him to bolt, and the result was
equally satisfactory.

KILL THEM KINDLY.
How 10 Kill Pigs Without Causing
Needless Suffering.

Mr.. Thrill, agent of the Connecticut
Humane society, has this to say as to
the most merciful way of killing pigs:
All persons whose business it is to
kill animals, either for food or to pre-
vent further suffering, should employ
the best methods to accomplish it with
the least possible pain. Especially
should this be done with the animals
butchered for food that must be bled in
order to make their meat wholesome.
The way usually taken to kill the hog
is to stick it, and the scrt ans of the
animal while it is slowly dying attest
its suffering and terror.
This seems brutal, and all the more
so when we know that it is unneces-
sary. The hog should be stunned by
blow, bullet, or even charge of fine
shot, before the artery is severed at the
throat. The blow or charge should be
aimed at the center of the forehead, or
as in the hog that is a somewhat I'M
certain lOcality--at point where two
lines would intersect if drawn from the
bottom of the ear to the center of the
opposite eye. This plan has already
been adopted by some butchers, and if
all persons who have OCCASION to kill
hogs would give it fair trial. it would
soon become the rule of killing, instead
of the execution,

STRAW AS FODDER.
To What Extent IL Should Be Fed
to the Animals and How.

to the Animals and How.
The nutritive value of straw is low
compared with clover and timothy hay,
but the straw nevertheless takes away
from the soil large portion of the
mineral matter essential in growing a
crop. 1t robs the soil of some sub
stances more SO than does the grain.
and unless the straw is returned to the
soil in some manner it will in time
cause lack of fertility just as assuredly
as will the growing of crops that
are more Salable. Straw does not de-
compose very rapidly when thrown on
the manure heap in the shape of coarse
bedding, owing to the abundance of
silica it contains, and, in consequence,
its return of the elements again to the
soil is very slow.
Cattle will not eat straw if they can
get something better, but they will eat
it readily if it is prepared and balanced
so as to render it suitable food for pro-
vldlng the necessary demands of the
system. What is meant by balancing
it is to add those essential substances
that are lacking in the straw itself. All
classes Of stock require
BULKY FOOD,
and if cattle are fed wholly on grain
the straw will become a welcome
luxury. To render straw of the
most service it should first be cut into
short lengths, mOStened with warm
water and sprinkled with ground grain.
In this condition it will be an ecOnomi-
cal food for steers. Some writer's recon-
mend the mixing of cut hay and straw,
but if this is done the cattle will pick it
over, select the cut hay and waste the
straw. 1t is better to feed straw with
out hay, making it special meal at
certain times, allowing hay at other
periods.
Even when straw is utilized for bed
ding purposes it is better to cut it, for
the reason that it can be more easily
cleaned from the stalls, it will more
readily absorb liquids. and will decom-
pose much sooner than when thrown on
the manure heap in bulk. Added to
this is the advantage of having it in
fine condition for handling and ditribu-
ton when it is hauled out to the fields
in the spring. Any food that serves as
a variety benefits the animal more than
its real value as food, because the
change and variety promote health and
Increase the appetite; and when the
bedding is such as to keep the stalls dry
by absorbing the moisture the warmth
of the stalls is increased. 1t pays to cut
the straw, because by so doing there
will e saving of more expensive food,
and the labor of cutting it will be repaid
Ill the benefits derived by the use Of the
straw. If properly prepared for stock,
straw can be made very valuable prod
uct of the farm.

BUSINESS METHODS.
As Essential for Success in Farm
ing as in Any Other Vocation.

as III My OthCE bOCdtAOus
Study and application are needed on
the farm, but SO is speciality as lead
er in returning mouey. OF course,
farm needs demand that other products
be raised also. but they must be con-
sidered as by-products; and as stepping
stones to the one grand object. For
instance, if a man makes wheat his
money crop he must also make manure,
and in bending all his energies to Sc
cure all the fertility possible, he is vir-
tualiy working out more wheat. Early
broilers may be the aim, but few lay
ing hens are necessary adjunct; so is
the corn field. Close study on the part
of the intelligent farmer will determine
for him what his
SPECIALITY SHOULD BE.
Having determined, let that farmer
concentrate his forces to acquire all the
knowledge possible upon this special
branch; use every appliance which will
render the labor less severe. and the
product surer and better, aud improve
every opportunity which will provide
facilities for furnishing the finished ar
ticle, whatever that may be, in the
greatest profusion, perfection of de-
velOpment. and consequently highest
market value.
Nor must bis study end here. His
wits must constantly be at work. his
ideas broad. his resources widened, SO
that he may know always what the
world has with which to compete with
in his line, whether the demand be
strong or light, and what he should get
for what he has to sell. In most fruit
and vegetable products one has not to
make the crop and find market only,
but Oftentimes fully two-thirds of the
profits depend upon the way in which
the thing is placed before the buyer.
Careful assortment, honest and attract
i've packing, neat and pretty and often
varied packages are what aid essentially
in increasing the coppers paid for an
article, while the extra cost is not bur-
densome, and the net income much more
satisfactory to the producer. With birds
aud animals even more lengthy prepare
tons are needed, and no time and ex-
pense are too great to pay for the proper
foundation upon which to build the
herds and tiocks. Build. build we'll!
and having builded. keep a watch con-
tinually that no vantage ground be lost.

A PENCIL FARMER.
His Mistakes Noticed by a Wis
consin Farmer in the Milwau-
kee journal.

HIS M1St1ktS NoliCCu W u " Is
consin Farmer in the Milwau-
kee journal.
A great many of the farmers in
Southern Wisconsin have come to the
conclusion that w. d. Hoard has not
been running his paper, the Dairyman,
wholly for the profits he is deriving
from its circulation, but from advertlS-
ng the Jersey cow and Minneapolis
bran.
Mr.. Hoard has been telling us at the
farmers institutes for the last few
wears that the Jersey was the most
profitable COW for the farmer to keep.
Actual experience in Southern Wiscon-
stu proves that statement 10 be hum
bug. The grade Shorthorn or HolStein
will distance the little Jersey when
the milk is taken to factory
where butter and cheese are made. or
upon farm of over six acres
where there are more than two in the
family. Mr.. Hoard has also told us that
bran was the best form of grain to feed
cows to make them give great flow of
rich milk, and that there is also $40
worth of fertilizing qualities in ton of
bran. Actual experience has proven
that oats. barley and corn, ground in
equal parts, is the cheapest ana the best
min i producing grain that can be Ed FL.
Oats at so cents, barley and corn at 45
cents, are cheaper than bran at S. per
ton, and every cent you pay over IS per
ton is thrown away. CHAT or cut hay you
can mix with corn meal rather than feed
il alone. Corn meal fed clear passes
through the first stomach and cannot be
rhewea over as a cud, and this is the
object of mixing meal or other ground
grain with chaif, cut hay or ensilage.
How many practical farmers or chem
its have we travelling in connection with
our farmers institutes? Any set of
men who rent their farms or own only
a garden patch can not be practical
farmers. Hoard farms with his pencil,
as did l.. C. Ward at Mukwanago last
spring before the farmer institute.
when he hired the money at per cent
acre. With his pencil he equipped it
with two pairs of horses and wagons
and tools. He put the whole LOO dcres
