THE FARMING WORLD.

SAwDUsr for bedding has been found
excellent. Ii absorbs the liquids and
makes the manure fine and easy to
handle.
SOME recent German experiments
have shown that fresh cream butter Is
more liable to taste of the food given
cows than when the cream is ripened.
E. ID. EASTMAN. of Rochester. y. y,
feeds l2O cows for nine and onefourth
cents day by means of the silo. He
finds silage and cotton-seed meal per-
feet forage.
The late corn crops often overtake
those that are early. owing to the cold
nights and frequent rains retarding the
growth of the plants that appeared
early in the season.
A FEW pennies worth of oilmeal and
oatmeal. well cooked and properly
mixed with skim milk, is better for
calf intended for an OK or dairy COW
than a pound of butter fat.
AS SOON as the early corn is three
inches high plant another patch. and
yet another later in the season. in order
TO have a succession. Sweet corn NAV
be had until fall by planting the seed
at intervals.
A WRITER in a contemporary says that
it pays to grow squashes in large guam
titles for market. They will sell at
from s25 to $50 per ton and will cost but
from S. to $40 per ton to raise. Besides
they exhaust the soil but little.

IT is necessary to balance the ration
of the soil as well as for the animals.
Feeding the soil with something II does
not require is equivalent to giving an
animal food which it will not eat The
best fertilizers are those which supply
the soil with that which il requires.

AN IMPORTANT ITEM.
Have the Tools In Good Order and Secure
Clean Harvest.


AZ item in making the most of the
crops is clean harvesting. 1t seems
poor economy after going to the ex-
pense of preparing the ground. securing
and sowing the seed, and giving the
care necessary to secure a good crop, TO
waste more or less of it after it is ready
to harvest.
Having the tools in good working
order is an important item in doing
this. With the small grains, and clover
and grass cut for hay. it is an impor-
tant item to cut clean and then to see
that it is gathered up clean. Forcing
the machine to run over portion, or
failing to have the sickle sharp. so as to
leave more or less standing. is a loss
that should always be avoided. Having
the ground clean and smooth is an i'm.
portant item in cutting clean, as the
cutter bar can be run closer to tho
ground. One of the advantages of
rolling the ground in the spring is that
1t levels the soil and often crowds rocks
or sticks that would otherwise inter-
fere with the work into the ground. 1t
is important to keep the sickles sharp.
Clean cutting can hardly be done with
dull tools, and it will be saving on
the teams as well as secure cleaner
work if the sickles are kept sharp, and
for this reason in a majority of cases a
good sickle grinder can nearly always
be used to advantage.
Every farmer knows that at best il is
hard, slow work to grind sickle on a
common grind-stone, and if the sickle
is kept in the best condition for cut
ting, something else will be needed,
and a grinder made especially for the
purpose can be made profitable.
A good rake is an essential item in
cleaning up. and will be found a
profitable investment Cut clean and
then rake clean and the waste will be
materially lessened. The self-binder
has, of course, materially lessened the
waste with wheat and oats, but with
hay as vet the rake must be depended
upon.-Prairie Farmer.

RECORD IN DEHORNING.
Thirty-One Cows Deprived of Horns il
Forty Minutes.

Thirty-One Cows Deprived of Horns in
Forty Minutes.
l recently dehorned my herd of 81
head in about 70 minutes There was
no perceptible loss of appetite or
shrinkage of milk in any case. Before
dehorning. nv cows were always in
clined to figh; more or less, and occa-
sionally / have los; cows from the
effects of this. Now they are as peace
able as sheep. My method was as fol-
lows: l first bought spring back bone
saw which, with rope about 10 feet
long, is all the implement necessary to
perform the operation. Leaving the
cows in the stanchions. fastened the
rope with a halter-hitch around the
neck and halfhitch ove- the nose.
then l slipped the rope up near the
eyes. | then put the rope over the
stanchion occupied by the next COW. a
distance of about three feet, and drew
the head firmly to one side. having
man to hold the rope. ! took the horn
in the left hand and sawed "a closely as
possible to the head. After taking off
one of the horns / drew the head to the
other side and proceeded in the same
way. turning each COW out as soon as
finished with her. The loss OF blood
was slight with few exceptions. The
application of tar about week later
aids in healing the wound. 1t is best
to do this before warm weather. when
the flies become troublesome. BY this
method there is no danger to man or
beast | am now a strong advocate of
dehorning, for my experience has given
such satisfactory results.-B. J. Jerks,

THE PoUCHED LAMPREY.
Fish That Carries with 1t Supply of
Watar-

Water.
That extraordinary fish, the pouched
lamprey of the Murray river in Austria
liza, affords striking contrast to the
English species. Somewhat larger
than sea lamprey, and having all the
same generic distinctions as the Euro
pean relatives, this strange creature has
acquired one special characteristic in
the pouch, which can be distended at
WILL or according to circumstances to
assist the animal in the storage of water
in times of excessive drought. Those
who are familiar with the great Murray
and Darling rivers know how variably
the water supply is; at times an ample
volum accumu lates from the water
sheds, and the adjacent plains are liable
to rapid and disastrous floods. But too
often the stream sinks to insignificant
dimensions: in certain parts the river
absolutely fails, leaving pools of water
surrounded by hard clay, which is caked
at the surface under the influence of
the vertical suns rays
The Australian lamprey has its prin-
cipal habitat in the Murray, and, con-
sequently, in the dry seasons it is apt to
be imbeddcd beneath the hardened clay,
where no water is. As the stream re-
cedes, the animal fills its pouch and dis
appears into the soft mud below. there
to remain until the drought has passed
away. subsisting on the moisture which
it has learned to store in a specialized
receptacle at the side of the head. As a
matter of fact, the fish has mastered
the difficult question of water storage
on its own account before the race of
homo sapiens has been able to solve the
same problem in the island continent
1t is an interesting question whethe r
this Australian lamprey is not a linger-
ing example of the fish of Miocene
ages, and as such may not be consid'
cred as an ancestral type of European
lampreys A sea lamprey that | exam.
ined alive, caught in the salmon nets OF
the tidal estuary, had distinct tend
ency to swell at either side of the
head, as if the pouch might be forth
coming in time of actual necessity. II
the Australian type is not the absolute
ancestor of the British genera. it is a,
least reasonable to suppose that it is al
older form. and that the divergent gen
era and species have descended along
different lines in the great life struggle
That the pouch of the antipodean lam
prey is intended for the storage of water
is a fact that can hardly be doubted 10y
any one who has seen the species annie
its peculiar surroundings. -Cornhil
