At convention of Wisconsin dairy
men vote was taken to see what the
opinion was on the value of buckwheat
bran. The result showed a division of
opinion, some thinking it had some value,
and some none. Further discussion de-
veloped the fact that the bran from some
mills was good, but from others of no
consequence, the difference being made
by the mode of manufacture, some modes
of grinding removing all nutriment from
the bran, but other modes leaving much
substance clinging to the hull. One man
said that one year he had great sur
plus of buckwheat which he disposed of
by grinding with oats for feed. 1t made
very good feed. but he considered the
bran of the buckwheat as possessing no
value except for fertilizer.

seventy-fve counties in the Texas grain
belt show total increased acreage ovel
last year for wheat, corn and oats of be

HURDLE EOt fAoIUhlNd SHEEP AND flGo,
month old will get through this fence.
The hurdle is solid and durable and will
last many years. A lot of them may be
carried on low-wheeled wagon or a
sled, and set up and fixed in the ground
very quickly. Two men can set up 200
of them in day, which will give a
double line across a 20-acre field. A
double line is necessary for the economi-
cal feeding off of a crop Of clover. The
field being laid out in this way, in mar
row strips, with two lines of hurdles,
lot l is first fed off, and then lot 2; the
line is then moved so as to inclose lot
3, and so on to the end. This is neces-
sary to let lot l grow up again. The ten
lots will give two acres or more in each,
which should feed a good many hogs for
a week, more OF less as the pasture is
heavy or light, giving ample time for the
heritage to be renewed before the end is
reached and the feeding is begun again
on lot 4; or the field may be divided up
and down in the center by one fence, and
smaller lots laid off by double lines as
before then, when one half the field is
fed off the other half is fed, beginning
next to the last one--thus returning to
the head of the field and beginning again
| By this method three times as much
feeding may be had from field as by

Burlington Clipper:

That the present Secretary of War
is the gentleman most anxious for the
position no one can doubt, but with
all due respect to Mr.. Proctor, the
governor will hardly consult the best
interests of Vermont and the repub-
lican party in appointing him to the
position. Gov. Page will undoubted'
ly maintain his reputation for indie
pendance and we venture the opinion
that no "pressure" will influence his
appointment"

Facts About the Queen Bee

A queen can beat a hen at laying.
Give her the best surroundings, with
plenty of honey coming in and all that,
and she will lay 5000 eggs in "a hours.
She does not cackle over it, either. Each
egg measures LA of an inch in length
and Ito of an inch in thickness. Even
when she is only doing an average bust
ness she will lay more than twice her own
weight in "a hours. But, mind you, she
does not do anything else. Does not
even feed herself. You will see the
workers constantly Offering her food

and half the heritage spoiled. By paint
ing the hurdles with tar and using them
carefully they will last 20 years.
To set the hurdles use square pointed
bar, with which holes are made in the
ground in the right spots, as the hurdle
is held half upright by an assistant. The
holes are made small, and when the
hurdle is set up the points enter and are
driven down by few blows of maui
on the ends Of the posts, but not on the
boards The ends of the hurdles are
wired together in two places and to a
stout stake driven in the ground, by
which they are supported. Quiet sheep
will not attempt to jump over fence of
this kind, which will be so or SO inches
high, and it will restrain any sized pigs
over 80 days old. For the foregoing
thanks are due to Country Gentleman.

A Survivor of Clusters Battle
Rutland Herald :

Rutland Herald:
Among the veterans who appeared
before the board Of pension examiners
in Burlington the other day was
George F. Woodruff of Westford,
who says he was with Gen. Custer
in his famous battle with the Indians,
being very near the general during
the struggle and was the fortunate one
who escaped. He retreated towards
the Black Hills and was followed
about eight miles by the great wal
chief Red Cloud and posse of red
men. For four days and four nights,
while he was skulking around the hills
in the endeavor to save his scalp, he
was without even a bite of anything
to eat. At the end Of this time his
strength was nearly gone, but finally
he came across miners camp
They took charge of him and at first
small piece Of meat was all they
would allow him for food. Ia his
new home he soon regained strength
and a while afterwards came wander.

being very broad and breast oval and

male is green black, as is the tail, the
bird being chestnut in color. 1t is
