Short Pastures.

In all probability next August there
Will be serious complaints from all
over the western country of short
pastures. The farmers as yet have no
means of controlling the rainfall
There is, however, a method by which
short pastures in August may be
avoided, or if they do occur the dam
age resulting therefrom may be pre-
vented-viz., by planning for substi-
tute pasture during the season when
short pastures may be expected. The
Iowa Homestead says:
A large proportion of the evils Of
shot pasturage may be avoided simply
by keeping a reserve of grass On hand.
From the middle Of May to the middle
of June pastures are exceedingly luxu-
RANT in all parts of the west The
prairie grass is then at it's best and
growing rapidly. The clover and
timothy fields are simply glorious. Blue
grass is then at it's best, and the
farmer concludes that he must have
more stock in order to avoid this
tremendous waste Of pasture.
It is certain that the man who keeps
his pastures eaten down closely in
May and June will have grief in Au-
gust and September Not only will his
stock be short Of pasture, but the

A WOMAN'S CLIMB OF TACOMA.
But the Real Danger Was in the De
scent

San Francisco Chronicle: A quiet
young girl with demi-blond hair, a
square, firm chin and pleasing feat
ures and manner, arrived at the Lick
house yesterday from Tacoma. The
young lady was Miss Fay Fuller,
daughter of Editor \. E. Fuller Of that
city, and she lately performed a feat
so difficult that it set the people on
both sides of the continent talking
about it. 1t was no less a feat than
the climbing of Mount Tacoma, in
Washington, some 80 miles to the north
east Of Puget sound, in the Cascade
range
1t was a formidable undertaking. In
more than 40 years since the county
was settled no woman had ever at
tempted it, and only a few men had
accomplished it, while many had
failed. The mountain is grim one,
towering 14,444 feet high, and with
glaciers extending far up from its
base. 1t is said by many experienced
mountaineers to be the most difficult
Of all American mountains to climb.

Scientific Feeding.

One of the greatest benefits of chem
ical science to the farmer is in confirm
ing the experience of practical men
with various kinds of food, and ex
planning why each produces the re-
suits which the farmer has learned
from his own experience to expect
When we know the reason of some
thing that we have tried, we are able
to experiment intelligently instead of
haphaZard. The truly scientific man
rarely differs from the best practical
feeder. The latter has learned by
many and costly experiments what
the scientist shows should be probable
from chemical analysis. 1t is in the
trial of new experiments in feeding
that the opinion of scientists becomes
most important. III such cases the
practical feeder readily allows the
scientist to take the lead, and he will
then prove by experiment whether the
theory can or cannot be successfully
put in practice.

The Michigan Agricultural College
experiment station now issues bul-
letin giving directions how to prevent
potato scab, as follows:
THE fact that the Scab or rough
ness upon potatoes can be prevented
has been demonstrated by actual field
trials. 1t is known that, while these
spots may sometimes be caused by
insects, they are generally of fungous
nature, and although the season, soil,
or variety has much to do with the
amount of injury, crops are seldom
grown that are entirely free from in
jury In some cases the effect is so
serious that the market value is re
duced one half.
Not only is an increase in the total
yield secured by this treatment but
reports have been ecreived of gains
of 100 bushels Of marketable potatoes
per acre. The expense should notAeX-
coed 10 cents per acre, and in seasons
when the disease is troublesome the
volume of the crop can often be dou-
bled, as, with proper precautions, even
when scabby seed is used, potatoes
will be free from scab if the directions
for treatment are followed"
The directions are as follows:
dissolve corrosive sublimate Obi
chloride of mercury in water at the
rate of one ounce to eight gallons of
water Il to 1000, and soak the seed
potatoes from sixty to ninety minutes.
Zone half of the above strength
would answer, did it not grow weaker
with repeated use; if much stronger
the Sprouting would be delayed and
the yield decreased. A shorter period
of immersion will be less effectual,
while soaking longer will injure their
vitality and decrease the yield. To
prepare the solution, first moisten the
corrosive sublimate and then dissolve
it in two quarts of boiling water, after
which it should be diluted as above.
For soaking the seed, a tub or half
barrel could be used, which would al
low the tubers in a basket or burlap
sack to be readily immersed While
the treatment can be given after the
seed is cut, it is better to soak the
whole tubers. If treated much pre-
vious to the time of planting the tubers
should be dried and stored where they
will not be infected by the germs of
the disease.
IF placed in sacks Or crates that
have been treated with corrosive sub
Innate there will be no danger If a
solution of two ounces in sixteen gal
Ions of water is prepared it will suffice
for the soaking of fifteen bushels of
potatoes, and if more are to be used
one half ounce of corrosive should be
added and the loss Of water made
good. This should be repeated for
each fifteen bushels treated"

GOOD YANKEE SNAKE STORY.
Eleven Good-Sized Reptiles Killed
Through Touching a Live Wire.

Eleven Good-Sized Reptiles Killed
Through Touching a Live Wire.
The biggest snake story of the spring
was brought to Saybrook, Conn, by
Uriah Belden. who lives over in
DEVILS Hop Yard, near East Lyme.
He told New York Sun correspondent
that a few days ago while on a hunt
ing tour in a patch of woods near
COmstOck's Bridge, north Of here, he
came upon a wheelbarrow load of
large black snakes tied up in hard
knots and stone dead. In the brush
about the place he discove red twenty
five or thirty smaller black snakes,
none of which was over eighteen
inches long, many of which he killed.
A couple of telegraph wires ran
through the woods overhead, and Bel
den, who was much mystified by the
tragedy of the snakes, soon after met
a lineman who gave him an interest
ing theory as to the deaths Of the
older serpents. There had been a
heavy blast set off in a quarry near
by few days before, the lineman
said, which broke down the telegraph
wires and started a colony of black
snakes from their winter slumber in
a neighboring ledge. One of the wires,
it appears, was Crossed" in a distant
city by a deadly trolley wire, and
hence the broken wires as they lay in
q cart path near the snakes den, the
ends not more than two feet apart,
constituted a death trap. Any moist,
living object touching the end of both
wires at the same time would "short
circuit them, carrying the electric
current from the "crOSSed' wire to
the other, and incidentally sustaining
a shock fatal to life. The lineman cal
culated that the snakes started up the
cart path toward brook after being
disturbed by the blast and, as they
came to the wires trailing on the
ground, one after another crossed
over and "short circuited' them, sus-
tanning an instantaneous shock which
caused death at once. Had it been
possible for a snakes body to have
still connected the wires after death,
the lives of many Of the snakes might
have been spared, but Immediately
upon being shocked the snake curled
up in a hard knot, thus opening the
circuit and setting the trap again. The
reason why the smaller snakes were
not killed by the current was because
their bodies were not quite long enough
to reach from one wire tor. another
and complete the deadly "short cir
cult" Mr.. Belden regards the line
mans idea as the correct one He
counted eleven of the snakes which
were killed by the lightning They
were from three to eight feet long

pastures themselves will be seriously
out so that the capacity
OF the pastures for producing forage
the next year will be greatly dimin-
iShed. Therefore one way, applicable
in all sections of the country, of avoid
ing this shortage of pasture in August
and September is to keep-a reserve of
better on each 40 acres.
There is. however. a necessity, be-
coming greater every year, of having
something TO supplement pastures in
a dry time. The western man is turn
inc to dairying more and ,-.nre every
year, and will we think, Tor many
years to come, and the man who al
lows the yield of milk to shrink during
July and August through short pastur-
age is a loser in three ways instead or
two. He loses from the damage of
his pastures. from the shrinkage of the
milk of his COWS and the Shinkage IN
the capacity of the COWS for the rest
of the season, even after the rams
have come. The provision that should
be made will differ in different sec
tons of the country.
In the more pronounced drier sec
tons many farmers are adopting the
summer silo, storing up the super
abundance in the form of enSilage and
feeding it out when the pastures are
short In fact. many of them claim
that the time will come when dairy
cattle will be fed out Of the Silo the
year round. In sections where the SilO
has not yet been introduced many
farmers are providing a substitute for
short paStueS in August by planting
early varieties of corn as early in the
season as it will terminate, and thus
secure & supply of foliage for August
and September. Others again find a
| crop of peas and oats sown late a
desirable substitute. Mr.. A. Sampson
| Of McCOok, Neb., sends a suggestion
! for pastures in drier sections Of the
| country He suggests sowing one
! fourth bushel of sorghum seed, a half
| bushel of popcorn and half bushel
of millet per arcre sowing this about
the Goth of May on fresh plowed land.
| He says that he has grown three and
half tons of this mixed crop to the
acre and regards it as the best feed
| for COWS that he ever fed

Fattening Lambs.

The Michigan experimental station
reports some very interesting expert
ments in fattening lambs. The ami
mails used in the experiment were
sired by a Shropshire ram on COM
mon grade Merino ewes. Such lambs
are excellent feeders, and they were
further prepared for feeding by being
turned September 25 on a fifteen-acre
field cf rape, where they remained
thirty-five days and gained fifteen
pounds each, and were thus in excel
lent condition when put up November
&c. The feed continued 119 days. In
this time ten lots of lambs, mostly
in lots Of ten, made an average gain
of trifie more than two and a half
pounds per head per week.
The largest gains were made by
lambs having a ration of whole corn
one and one half pounds with one
pound of rutabagas, and what clover
hay they would eat The next largest
and most profitable gain was made
from ration Of four fifths of a pound
Of oats, with seven tenths of a pound
Of rutabagas and what clover hay
they would eat. As the fattening pro-
crossed more grain was eaten and less
hay. One lot was given no grain ra-
ton except bran. It's gain was less
and the profit on feeding was only p
cents per lamb, while on the corn and
clover ration it was 73 cents, and
with corn and oats it was 81 cents
per head. One lot of five lambs was
allowed to feed itself with grain and
hay. 1t ate a large amount of grain
and but little hay. This "self feed,'
as it is called, gave a profit of only
6 cents per lamb, and if the lambs
had not been in extra good condition
from their feeding on rape the result
would have been a loss, and probably
the death of some of the lambs.

Good Cows.

There is increasing demand for good
COWS. The habit of farmers in allow
ing milEmen to make a selection from
their herd, and then offset the depre-
citation of their herd by charging a
high price for it. has deServedly gone
out of fashion. We are glad it has,
and yet we think the business of grow
ing and developing young heifers into
mich cows is a profitable one if prop
erly conducted. The trouble under the
old system was that the farmer posi-
bly, had had only one or two really
good cows. When these were sold he
was left with lot of scrubs that could
not possibly give him any profit. The
farmer ought not to keep such COWS
If he has a herd that are all good milk
ers, and all paying their way, he can
grow heifer calves to the age Of three
or four years. develop their milking
capacities, and sell them at a profit
A heifer that has her first calf at two
years old should give enough the first
and second years to pay her way from
calfhood until she is four years old.
Then the farmer can judge whether
he had better keep her longer or sell
for what he regards as a fair price
