Cattle raisers feel assured, owing to the
great amount of moisture in the ground,
that there will be an abundance of grass on
the range this coming season, and in conse-
quence large amount of fat beef. Beef
buyers sh uld also bear this in mind, and
look to Crook county for liberal supply of
beef this year.

THE HORSE NErrlE.

3 The horse <4ettle (Solanum Carroll
nense) is q well-known troublesome
weed In Illinois, Missouri. Kansas,
southern Iowa, Arkansas and south tn
northern Texas It is q perennial and
produces long and deep roots, some
times more than three feet. Ordinary
blowing will not kill them, they must
be dug up. but the best plan for their
destruction is to cut the plant on sew
eral inches below the ground. In no
case allow any leaves to appear above
the surface. The leaves are the organs
Of the plant in which food is made and
this is stored away abundantly in the
root-stock and roots This accounts
for some of the extraordinary vitality
Of the underground parts This weed
Is close kin of the potato, having vio-
let or white flowers and yellow berries
The Van Buren press., 1893-09-23

The potato is known botanically as
Solanum tuberosum. The common
nightshade, with small white flowers
growing abundantly in shady places, is
also closely related to it. The berries
of this plant are black, and we were all
taught to avoid them as they were
supposed to be very poisonous In
Kansas, Missouri and the southwest is
a prickly, somewhat hoary plant bear
ing yellow flowers. It Is an extremely
common weed along roadsides, and is
avoided by cattle and farmers fear 1t.

The white House Carpet.

II any ocular proof OF the persistence
Of office-seekers is needed, 1t exists in
the White House carpets. They look
rs If they could never be made to smile
again. The one on the stairs leading
TO the Office best shows what the impa-
tient feet of the ninety-nine thousand
would-be government employees have
accomplished. 1t Is Q heavy Administer,
held in place by long nails with big
steel heads, instead of stair rails. The
nail is fully three inches long, but since
the rush there is decided scarcity of
the shining heads, and the tread of the
office-seeker has pulled out even these
great spikes, and couple Of dozen of
them have been picked up and put
away. The carpet looks as II a regi-
ment OF giants had been executing a
double shuttle on the stairs for the last
month. Any extra demsnd for stair
carpet at the White House ought to be
granted without demur by the con-
gressmen who have brought the Office
seekers along and helped add to the
wear and tear. Kate Fields Washing.

70 PREVENT HORNS.
A Method suggested by thu Dspartmel
OF Aericulture.

A Method Suggested BY tho Department
s,s OF Agriculturs.
Many shrink from the practice Of de-
horning who would gladly adopt some
way Of preventing the growth of horns
This can be done with little, If any, suf-
fering to the animal The department
Of agriculture suggests method as
follows: Mix ffty parts canstic soda,
twenty-five parts sof kerosene oil snd
twenty-five parts Of water. An emul-
sion Is made of the kerosene and soda
by heating and vigorously stirring, and
this is then dissolved in water The
mixture should then be placed in q
bottle with . solid. rubber cork. In
applying, the calf should not be over
three weeks old. FIVE to twenty days
being the proper age. With u pair Of
SCISSORS clip the hair around the embryo
horn, exposing aspot about the size Of
y nickel. Hold the calf securely and
drop two or three drops Of the mixture
upon the horn. and with the end Of the
rubber cork rub II in thofoughly over
the bare spot Apply the fluid first To
one horn and then the other, until each
horn has been gone over three or four
times. The rubbing should be contin-
ued until the caustic has softened and
removed the hair and surface skin inn
rAediately around the horn. Care
should be taken that the fluid does not
spread over large surface or run down
the sides of the face. The mixture must
be carefully and thoroughly applied;
II used carelessly the embryo horn may
not only be killed, but the face of the
calf may be disfigured. This method
is not only less crnel to the animal but
II is said, leaves the head in better form
than when dehorning is practiced in
the old way.
