The Value of Pumpkins.

The feeding value of yellow field pump
kins for milch cows hogs and sheep is
based upon the amount of dry matter in
100 pounds. as well as on the chemical
composition of that matter. The whole
pumpkin has about 80 per cent. water
and II dry matter; 0.6 of per cent. of
this is albuminoids. 9.8 carbohydrates,
Oh fat and l ash. The value of this
when figured in 5he ordinary way is
about 10 cents per 100 pounds. but as
the pumpkin contains little poetic
acid, which becomes digester of other
food and gives it all additional value, it
may be said that good ripe pumpkins
are worth 10 to l2 cents per 100 pounds
to feed in moderate quantity with other
food in the milk ration or for fattening.
A small quantity of pumpkins gives
relish and improves the flavor of the
milk. But with reference to the effect
of the seeds, care must be taken if the
seeds are fed to COWS that they are
mixed evenly with the rest of the pump
kin. The seeds are given in some cases
as diuretic medicine Their action is
apt to be on the kidneys, and dairymen
often say that their COWS shrink in their
milk when freely fed with pumpkins.
And if the seeds get separated so the
COWS eat more than the natural proper
ton of seeds. this effect upon the kid
neys would naturally affect the secre-
tion of milk

"A MOLE TRAP.

1t is of iron, ten inches long: the lower
part shaped like paddle, five inches
long, one and one-eighth inches wide.
and the left hand end notched as shown.
and three-quarters of an inch wide per-
pendicularly. The post, sixteen inches
high, is curved to the circular sweep of
the top board on its hinge. The teeth,
six in number. on each side, are riveted
seven-eighths of an inch apart, in plate
five and one-fourth inches long and one
inch wide, containing four screw holes,
placed zigzag. and this is found much
frmer and more secure than if the teeth
were inserted directly in the upper plank.
The trap is set, as shown in the cut,
across mole track, first digging hole
eight inches square and six inches deep,
and returning the soil, taking care to
exclude all stones and large pebbles.
Press the earth down pretty firmly, and
set the trap so that the trigger touches
the surface of the ground exactly over
the line of the track. When the mole
goes along his accustomed road, and
finds it obstructed, his movements in re-
opening the track inevitably heaves up
the surface so as to set off the trigger,
and the teeth on one side or the other
will catch him. Weight the trap with
q heavy fiat stone

In earlier times this breed was knowp
as the Suffolk polled and they were then
small. Their characteristic was, how
ever. that which distinguishes the best
red polls of today: for they were mixers
of great staying power, giving milk rich
in butter fats. with a goodly proportion
of caseine. rather than cattle which pro-
duced heavy flow of milk of medium
quality and then dried quickly
The efforts of the earliest breeders
were directed to the improvement of the
fattening quality of the Suffolk, with
the retention of the breeds valuable milk
and butter producing characteristics.
To the Royal Agricultural Society of
England belongs the credit of determin-
ing what should henceforth be deemed
the true representation of the East An
glian polled cattle. 1t was not until
1868 that any very definite regulations
regarding color, as one of the qualifica
tions of this breed, were laid down
Since about 1910 the red polled have
been developed into much heavier stock
without any addition to the useless lum-
ber of the carcass. The fifty stone of
old days have been increased to eighty
and even ninety stone for steers The
live weight of bulls has occasionally con-
siderably exceeded ton
In the cut is shown COW that had. in
England. an almost unbeaten record

in fattenlng pigs with sman allowance
of pumpkin seeds in connection with
other food. Thes. seeds used as a part
of the food for poultry would fatten
them rapidly 1t should not constitute
more than one-fifth to one-fourth of the
food given to poultry. The dry matter
in pumpkin seeds and the stringy parts
amount to about % per cent, or more
than double that of the whole pumpkin.
The nutritive value of the seeds, per
weight, is four times as much as that
of the body of the pumpkin without the
seeds. In connection with the forego-
ing, Country Gentleman says: If pump
kins were sliced up or pulped. so that
the seeds would be all mixed in evenly,
there would beg no danger in feeding
them to COWS, other cattle or hogs. and
it would be a very desirable addition
when combined with other foods.

One Plan of Breaking Bulls.

Mr.. Eddy, in New England Home
stead, tells of a method of breaking bulls
that is both practical and economical
He takes the animal at any age and puts
on the same harness that he would use
on horse, turning the collar the oppo-
site side up, and bitches him into a two
wheeled cart in some large field where
there are no trees He then gets in for a
ride, letting Mr.. Bull go where he wants
to. When the bull begins to tire he con-
tinues to drive him until he is thoroughly
conquered. After the first trial he has
no difficulty in working him But he
always keeps rope attached to the ring
in the nose so that the animal cannot
run away Mr.. Eddy has a 4-year-old
Holstein bull that has drawn all the
manure on the farm the last year. and
now does all the work, such as drawing
corn fodder for twenty -one COWS every
day and earth fol the stable He says
that considerable care should be taken
not to overload the animal for the first
few weeks, for if once balky he will
make trouble.

Trapping MOles and salamanders.

We give an illustration of simple
trap that may be successfully used in
catching that troublesome little pest. the
ground mole. 1t is made of two ash
boards, a full inch in thickness, seven
inches in width and two feet six inches
long, attached to one end by broad butt
hinge. The form given to the bottom
board is shown in the cut. the central
slit being made to admit the free play of
the trigger, which is represented by it
self in the right hand corner of the

Red Polled Cattle.

Although it may be said with some
degree of truth that the red polled breed
of today is the result of a selection, and
may thus be declared to be a compara-
lively modern breed. there can be no
doubt that the red polled is traceable
back at least $50 years

Hedgehogs as Fruit Caterers.

Gathering fruit can scarcely be called
trapping and yet there is d strategem
attributed to that "walking bunch Of
toothpicks" called the hedgehog
which may properly have place in
that category. 1t seems that fruit is
frequently found in the hedgehog S
sleeping apartment, and its presence
there is explained in this remarkable
way: It is known that hedgehogs often
climb walls and run off upon low
boughs, and, instead of scrambling
down il, the same manner, they boldly
make the leap from the top to the
ground, sometimes ten or twelve feet
They coil into ball in the air, strike
upon their armor Of spines, and bound
away unframed. In taking this jump
they have been seen to strike upon fall
en- fruit. which, thus impaled upon
their spines, was carried away by them,
and this has given rise to the opinion
that in some such way they may have
stored their winter homes. Chicago

Fanny Rice's form is plump and comely,

GROWING BROOM-CORN.
Methods Of Cultivation Practiced by the
Most Successful Growers.

Methods OF Cultivation Practiced by the
Most Successful Growers.
The following points in broom-corn
culture are given in reply to queries
received from several readers: The
land for broom-corn should be fertile
and in good condition. A rich sandy
loan not predisposed to weeds is ex-
cellent. The young plants are very
tender and delicate; SO that weedy
ground ought always to be avoided.
As regards manure, about the same
quantity should be applied as for a
crop Of Indian corn on the same
ground. In planting the tall varieties
the rows are usually three and half
feet apart, with the seed drilled two
or three inches apart, or about dozen
seeds at intervals fifteen inches apart,
forming hills and cultivated only one
way. Plenty of seed should always be
used, as allowance must be made for
imperfect ones that fail to terminate
from this cause and also from being
covered too deep. The covering should
be very light, with not over an inch
and half of fine soil. When we'll up
thin out to five or six strong plants to
the hill.
Being of Southern origin the seed
should not be planted until the soil is
thoroughly warmed, little later rath-
or than earlier than Indian corn.
Clean cultivation is absolutely neces-
sary for success. In no other hoed
crop is this more important The
young plants when they first show
themselves are very small, and though
they soon become strong and vigorous
they are weak at first, the germ of the
seed having only enough nutrimen,
to enable the young plant to get fairly
above ground, when it has at once ia
form roots and provide for its own
subsistence. Cultivation must there.
fore begin as soon as the plants are well
up and be continued so as to keep ahead
of the weeds, otherwise the crop will
be poor one.
The most successful growers p~ac.
tice cutting as soon as the seed has
fairly formed, when the brush will be
of better color than if left until the
seed has matured. The old way. wher
the seed vas allowed to become thor.
oughly ripe. was to lop the brush
from the top to prevent crookednes.

1t is generally conceded by all
who have had experience in the curing
and feeding of the grasses and cloyers

they should be cut just as the plants
begin to blossom.
Tea, coffee and spices lose their
strength when kept in open boxes,
because they contain volatile fiavoring
oils, which gradually evaporate when
exposed to the air. Always keep
them in tight cans or bottles.
String beans should be planted in
rows, each bean being six inches from
the next. The rows should be only
separated sufficiently to allow the use
of the hoe. The German wax string
less variety is preferred for family use.
1t pays to fit the land well before
the seed is planted. Up to certain
point the richer the land is made the
heavier will be the crop, but on land
of any moderate fertility the applica-
ton of fair quantity of manure will
be reasonably sure to give fair yield.
