Splendid Game That Is Sharing the Fate
of the Buffalo.
If the accounts of African hunters are

from the larger kinds of antelope found
In south and central Africa is really ex-
cellent, that of the koodoo, the oryx,
and the Gland being the best. Perhaps
the highest and most modern authority
available for quotation on the subject is
Lord Randolph Churchill. His lord
ships verdict on the elaad, the flesh of
which is said to surpass that of all other
antelopes as much as Welsh mutton
does Lincolnshire leg" will be of ma
terial interest to the present inquiry.
Less educated palates have pronounced
1t peculiarly excellent, having in addi-
ton the valuable property of being ten
der Immediately after the animal is
killed, which makes it much appreciated
in central Africa, where the meat is
usually as tough as shoe leather and
nearly as dry" In addition to the
quality of the meat, the Gland has the
additional requisite of large size. A full
grown Gland is as large as atwo-year-old
shorthorn, and has far more the appear
ance of high-bred bullock than an
antelope. Its horns are short and
straight, pointing backward, and it has
dewlap like an OK. 1t can live on the
hardest fare, and soon grows very fat
on good pasture. Best of all, 1t becomes
quite tame, and is easily acclimatized.
The writer remembers to have seen q
splendid group of these animals in the
Jardin discrimination In the Bots de
Boulogne, an old bull nearly sixteen
hands high, a COW, and two young, APP
parently Il yearling and two-ycar-old.
They were in good condition, though
living in n paddock with only an open
shed to shelter them from the weather.
The late Lord Derby kept them at
Knowsley park for many years. 1t
seems to be a waste of the resources of
nature to allow these fine creatures to
be extermiDated, as they soon will be,
In our new African empire. Why should
we not save the Gland, the harmless an
telope, the koodoo and other large Afri-
can antelopes from extermination-and
even try to rear some in England? The
experiment may be recommended to
some of the noble owners of parks and
chases who have already done SO much
to preserve our own deer and wild cat
tie from determination America has
allowed the bison to perish. Shall we
not take warning and preserve for our
own use the splendid African antelopes
which, within the memory of man, were
q thousand times more numerous than
they are to-day.-London Spectator.

Mulching Young Trees.

A neighbor who had about an acre OF
young forest trees asked how to keep
the weeds from growing up and check
ing the trees. advised him to mulch
the ground thoroughly two or three
inches deep with straw. such as the
cattle had tramped down about the
straw stacks, for in the forest che
ground is mulched with leaves, ETC.,
which prevent the growth of weeds,
and retain the moisture, thus assisting
the trees to grow. The straw mulch
does the same. He tried it the next
spring, and never saw trees grow as
those did, and the ground was perfect
ly free from weeds This method of
culture requires but little labor, and
straw or prairie hay for mulching 10

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EVERY horse that is expected to
work on the farm during the spring
and summer should have collar and
set of harness properly fitted to it..
This will lessen the risks of CALLED
shoulders.
WHEN land will not respond to
manure or good surface tillage the
fault may be due to wet subsoil, whic h
may be partly if not wholly relieved of
its extra supply of moisture by the use
of drain-tile.
BRAN contains more mineral matter
than the ground grain, and for that
reason it is one of the best foods that
can be used for mich cows and grow
ing stock. 1t can safely be used to
supply deficiency in nearly all kinds
of rations.
HEAVY beef breeds of cattle only
thrive well on farms that can supply
abundant food, both in pasture and
grain. They cannot forage over bar
rem fields as nimbly as the smaller
steep hillsides.
KEEP no horse, cow or sheep with
small, contracted nostrils. They are
one of the best indicators of the vitality
and serviceability to be found. A large,
full, open nostrl is sure evidence of the
free use of the lungs, and this means
better blood and more OF it,

DAIRY PHILOSOPHY.

the Year Around.

How to Make Cows Pay Their Own Way
the Year Around.
Yes, sometimes cows of no breed will
pay well in the dairy, but cows of that
kind cannot be depended upon to
transmit their good qualities TO their
calves.
The only way to be sure COW has
good milking qualities which can be
perpetuated in her offspring is to be
sure she has good blood in her.
Don't condemn breed until you have
given it fair trial; don't let prejudice
have any say in the matter.
In selecting cows of any of the breeds
take those which have the character
istic colors of that breed.
Not that color indicates quality, but
that an 'off" color is not sign of Gin
side' Improvement and may be a sign
of departure from the standard.
Like begets like" within certain linn
its, but the certainty of results is only
known at the pail.
Better to get rid of the poor cows be-
fore they go on grass; cheap feed warps
the judgment.
Any little improvement in dairying
that will cheaper cost of production will
sum up the same as an increased selling
price.
Don't believe any theory is correct
until You have tried il, and don't try il
in wholesale way.
We must have our own particular
routine of dairy work; what exactly
suits our neighbor may not work out
smoothly in our own dairy.
a routine way of doing things saves
much time, but we must improve that
routine when we can.
Don't depend too much upon breed;
feed is breeds equal partner.
And the check of the firm of Breed a
Feed is not good unless Endorsed by the
feeder.
A cow is in her prime when she is
from five to seven years old; with her
second calf she ought to show what she
will do when older.
If COW does not prove to be a good
one when she mothers her second calf
she will likely be too expensive for any

ception."
If COW waited until her third calf
before she proved profitable, her heifer
calves might wait until their fourth
calves, and that would be ruinous.
Sometimes COW waits" because her
feeder does not do his part right; we
must not condemn "a COW until all the
evidence is in.
All cows do not like the same kind OF
feed, neither will they do so well as
they would on some other kind.
If one or two cows in herd do not
seem to be doing as we'll as they should,
try them on another kind of feed.
A change of feed will often improve
the appetite; cows must be hearty
