CATTLE NOTES.

A medical paper of high standing
recommends hot milk, instead of beer,
whisky or other alcoholic stimulants.
in cases OF great fatigue and over-exer-
ton of body or mind. Its reviving IN
fuence, when taken as hot Of it can be
slipped, is remarkable. its effect is
promptly felt as lasting, and even those
who have been accustomed to the
use of alcoholic beverages will
find this substitute remarkably salts
fying. This is especially true of
OverwOrked women. for whom physi-
clans sometimes prescribe beer and
other mild stimulants. The momentary
exhiIaratiOn felt is only the whip applied
to an exhausted body, while the hot
milk is digested and gives nOurishment
and real strength. The fact is, that
real value of milk and butter and cheese
as foods is only half appreciated in
America. In the old countries, where
meats are rarely OH the table Of the
middle or poorer classes, milk and
cheese are leading articles of food.
Spaying heifers is a work that would
pay we'll, and should be practiced by
st0ckmen more generally. While scrub
| bulls are now castrated and turned into
profitable steer beef, scrub heifers are
permitted to perpetuate their kind and
add to the already large surplus of
scrub stock. Spaying heifers would
diminish the production of scrub stock
and transform the animals operated
| on into valuable beasts for market. EX-
periments show that not one animal in
| 200 will die under the operation when it
| Is properly performed, and that heiferS
so treated will bring as much money as
steers at similar ages.
1t is an old story, says the Denver
Record. of the two cowboys from Ari-
IONA who were taking their first meal at
the Windsor. One, who had few of
the advantages of life, helped himself
to the celery. when the other clutched
him by the arm and whispered: My
God Bill, don't give US away eating
the bouquet"

The Skyshooters Have Scored a
Success.
MILT.AND, Tex, Aug. 20.-Gen. Dry
enf0rth and his party have again
achieved success in their efforts to pro-
duce rainfall byartificial means, and all
this region is rejoicing in heavy and
widespread rain storm, which insures
winter grass and averts the distress
which few weeks more of dry weather
would have brought. This is the see
ond heavy rain which has fallen inside
of eight days on the Morris ranch, be-
sides several light showers, and there
seems to be 10 reasonable doubt but
the rainmakers deserve much OF the
credit. especially for the copiOusnesS Of
the fall.
Ten days ago they began operations,
and they nave kept up a continual
''skirmish'' since that time. Some OF
the most powerful apparatus has not
been used to a great extent, but large
quantities Of ''rackaTOck," mixture of
giant powder, dynamite and oXyhydro-
gen gas, have been exploded on the
ground. from kites and balloons. The
readings Of the instruments which Prof.
Curtis, of The Smithsonian institution,
brought from the weather bureau at
Washington, clearly show that the OPP
eratiOnS have had marked effect on
the meteorological conditions, and have
produced definite and practical results.

green will not kill chinch bugs.
If the bugs are not yet in the corn
plow deep furrow along the side of
the field; they will enter and throw into
it stalks Of green corn. When the bugs
have accumulated on the corn. sprinkle
with the emulsion. Put in fresh stalks
and sprinkle whenever the bugs accu-
mulate. If they break over the barrier,
as they probably will, run new furrow
a few rows back in the corn and repeat.
Where they have attached stalks of
standing corn destroy by sprnkling.
If the remedy is tried it should be
used persistentiy. TO kill one lot Of
bugs and then stop will do little or no
good. When the bugs threaten to de-
Stroy as much as five or ten acres it will
pay for one or two men to devote their
whole time to the warfare. Only part
of each day. however, will be needed.
Some corn will be lost at best, but the
most of the field should be saved.
Any enc trying thi remedy is request
ed to send results of his experience to

Poultry House.

A poultry house for a city lot is de-
scribed as follows, the cost not exceed
ing S25. 1t is eight by fourteen feet,ten
feet high at the front, and six feet at the
rear. The front should have window
about five by nine feet. The depart
ment for the fowls is eight by ten feet
of floor space. covered with fine
gravel or sand six to eight inches
deep. The roosts are movable. and
are over platform, which is fastened
to the wall with hinges, so that it can
be raised up during the daytime out of
the way, or for cleaning. The feed
room is four by eight feet, in which are
double rows of nests, movable, over
which is lath partition. The frame of
the building is covered with tarred
paper, roof and all, held on with lath,
and sided with six-inch drop siding. The
lath gives a half-inch air chamber all
over. From twenty to twenty-five hens
can be kept in the house, with yard
thirty by fiftV feet.

Rand Growth Of Pigs.

This is the answer to a correspondents
in an exchange who wants to know how
a farmer without dairy can grow
March pigs to make them weigh 275
pounds by November: "Hls SOW should
be good feeder and milk producer,
and in the best of condition when she
farrows. Feed her literally with one
part of old-process oil meal, six parts Of
shorts aud three parts of bran mixed
with scalding water after :he mixture
has stood twelve hours. Put in the
drinking water little salt and teas
spoonful of saltpeter once a week. Feed
the above ration twice each day, MORN
ing and evening. and at noon give
liberal feed of Well-Soaked corn. Let
the trough be low so that the animal
will learn the way to the table. Give
her also some grass, or, better, clover

Result ofRough Treatment.

Among the brute creation man has no
better friend than the horse. With
them, however. as with human beings,
much depends upon early training. An
exchange speaking upon this subject,
says that "a gentle horse is more
fearless than it would be if not gentle.
What is termed viciousness in
horses is frequently nothing but sheer
timidity, and almost invariably is the
result of rough treatment. Horses
would not give way to fear when man
approaches them if they had been ac-
custoned to receive always kind and
humane treatment. Now that the sea-
son for putting the young colts into the
hands of trainers is at hand, it is
a good time to teach them not to
fear the approach of a human being.
They are fond of being petted, and with
constant kindness will become quite do
cie. A nubbin of corn. handful Of
grain, OF little sugar offered OCCASION
ally will gain their confidence. and they
will gradually lose all fear of mankind.
The spirit of trustfulness thus inspired
and the resulting gentleness Of DISPOSE
ton. will last through life, unless adj
verse influences are allowed TO inter.

DESTROYING Chfnch BUGS.

The following is sent out from the
agricultural experiment station, Mad
isOn, Wis:
The numerous letters received at this
station IN relation to the chinch bug
show this pest is now moving from the
grain fields into the corn fields. Any
remedies tried must be quickly applied.
1t is now too late to Introduce infected
bugs, such as have been sent out by
Prof Snow. of Kansas. The kerosene
emulsion remedy here recommended is
being successfully used by Dr. E. Fred
Russell, of Poynette, Columbia county,
as we learned from personal inspec-
ton.
How to make the emulsiOn-Slice
half pound of common bar soap; put
it in a kettle with Que gallon of soft
water aud boil until dissolved; put two
gallons of kerosene in a churn or stone
Jar and TO it add the boiling hot soap So
luton; churn from twenty to thirty
minutes, when the whole will appear
creamy. If properly made no oil will
separate out when few drops of the
emulsion are placed on piece of glass.
To each gallon of the emulsion add
eight gallons of water and stir. Apply
with a sprinkling pot.
Every farmer should learn to make
this emulsion as it is most useful in
sectitude. 1t is especially valuable for

Ripe Cream.

The Jersey Bulletin thus defines
ripeness of cream:
'Ripeness is one thing, and rottenness
is another. One is the perfection of life,
the other is the beginning of death.
The processes preceding ripeness are
constructive. those following are de-
structive, Ripeness is the mature
stage, the top platform of the apex. In
the one process comparatively simple
materials are converted into more and
more complex organic compounds; in
the other process complex compounds
are resolved, step by step, into simpler
compounds and finally into elements
ready to enter into new constructive
combinations. Ripe cream has reached
the top of the ascending process. 1t is
then at its best for butter-making-will
make more butter and of better flavor
and grain. 1t remains in the ripe stage
but a short time, until the downward
stages begin. The skill of the butter

Pinkeye Contagious.

DR.. Fleming. principal veterinary sur
geOn of the British army, is of the Opin-
ion that the veterinary authorities of
this country are correct in regarding
''pinkeye" in horses as a contagious and
infectious specific fever, transmissible
directly from animal to animal. He said,
further, that persons passing from a sick
animal to a healthy one would convey
the disease. 1t was undoubtedly due to
one or more germs, there might be two
or three germs producing it; but there
were grounds for believing that the
germs could develop not only in the
animal body but outside it-in the
atmosphere. Only OH that behalf
could they account for certain out
breaks. Although the mortality at
tending the latest outbreak has been
greater than in any other, they would
have to schedule the whole country to
stop it; and he thought the time had not
yet arrived for that. He advised those
who had horses to observe closely the
prevalence of the disease, and, if they
saw symptoms of it, to rest the horses
at once,

Salt the Cows.

1t is hardly necessary to tell people
who handle stock that thew should be
sailed regularly, 1t seems to be as nee
essary as Toed itself, Judging from the
way they will beg for it, Not only Is it
relished but observation and experience
teach that salt is necessary to the best
health of a cow. Prof. Robinson, of the
Guelph experimental station, Ontario.
says, after experimenting along
that line, that ITO deny cows
salt for even one week reduces their
flow of milk 49, to 1715 per cent in
quantity, and lowers the quality" Milk
given when the cows are deprived of
salt, he says. will sour twenty-four
hours sooner than that given when they
have full supply of it. 1t is greatly
relished by all animals, which is q
strong presumptive evidence in its
favor, and there cannot be reasonable
doubt at this late day that salt is bena-
fetal to mich COWS.
