Fecding Wheat In the I'ielN.

In some parts of California outside
Of the wheat growing districts it is
customary to grow a few acres of small
grain for poultry food. This grain is
not harvested. 1t simply ripcns in the
field, and then the poultry run in and
harvest it to suit themselves. The cost
OF harvesting, thrashing and cleaning
wheat and rye is considerable. 1t is not
surprising that farmers in the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys who have decided to
feed their wheat are trying tho expert
ment Of feeding it in tho field. Hogs
and poultry are turned into the field to
eat down tho grain just as they would
pasture a field of clover. This method
certainly saves the cost of harvesting
tho grain, and it probably gives tho
young clover IL better chance; but, says
Rural New Yorker, what II waste it
seems to eastern farmers, who can oh.
tain SEQ per ton for tho straw.

Live Stock Points,

There is much science in keeping corr
fodder just right. 1t is better to cut into
short pieces all the fodder you feed.
With u horse power, at Il big job
enough fodder can be cut to last half
the winter. But it should not be cut or
shredded until it gets entirely dry, for
there is something about the corn plant
that heats and molds easily. On the
other hand, the cutting should not be
put off till the fodder freezes. Fodder
that has been frozen is almost as bad as
moldy fodder. When the stalks are left
in close bundles, they do not dry out
altogether. The moisture in them
freezes. This expands the cells. When
they thaw, the fodder is dry and taste
less. So cut UP the fodder neither too
green nor wait till it has been frozen.
Cut when it is just right.
Scotch and English breeders of draft
horses favor Il heavy growth Of hair
around the fctlock. They think it keeps
horses heels from getting cracked. But
the hair itself must be kept clean by
frequent washing.
Now set your broilcr machines, other
wise your incubators, gong.
The kerosene emulsion spraycr is a
necessity where domestic animals are
kept.
Get up before daylight to feed the live
stock in the short winter days. Animals
ought not to be kept out of their food
later than 6 O'Clock in tho morning.
1t is better on all accounts to draw
out fresh manure on the fields at once
than to leave it to lie in the bnrnyard in
a great, nasty heap, smelling bad and

Give the live stock THEN meals ~

The horse market il Chicago probably
never was dullur than it has been this

and good, sound family buggy horses
have been frequently bought for $50.

SILAGE OR ROOTSl
experiments In Which Every Live Stock
Man Is Interested.

Wah - Interested.
Bulletin No. 20 of the PENNSYLVANIA
experiment station, just issued, gives
the results OF experiments undertaken
by Professor Waters, agriculturist of
the station, and Mr.. r. J. Weld, assist
ant III field and feeding experiments,
to determine the comparative values of
mangels and sugar beets and silage.
The summary Of results is as follows:
The increased yield of digestible organ-
lc matter obtained from nonmaturing
sllage corn over q medium maturing
dent corr amounted to 1856 pounds
per acre, or 10 per cent, assuming both
varieties to be equally digestible.
Between mangels and sugar beets the
difference in digestible organic matter
amounted to 80 pounds per acre, or SD
per cent, in favor Of mangels, while in
the yield of green substance per acre the
mangels led by 474 pounds.
The average product of the two vari-
cites of corn and the two classes of
roots show a difference in digestible
organic matter in favor Of corr amount
ing to /, 760 pounds per acre, OF &C.. 2 per
cent. The difference in green substance
at time of harvest was 4, 1855 pounds, or
49,. 7 per cent. In dry matter the differ
ence amounted to 3, 1926 pounds, or 15l. 4
per cent. In other words, as much di-
gestible organic matter was produced ON
IL acre when grown in corn as was OBJ
tanned from 1.91 acres of mangcls, or
2.05 acres of sugar beets.
The cost of growing, harvesting and
storing an acre of beets was more than
double the amount required for an acre
of corn, charging each crop the same
rent for land and the same mount for
fertilizers.
In a feeding trial involving two lots
of five COWS each and covering three
periods Of - days each, with a prelim-
mary period of 10 days, and when the
cows were led practically the same
amounts Of dry matter in silage and
roots, 100 pounds of digestible matter of
the silage ration produced 1871. 90 pounds
of milk and 7.2l pounds of butter, and
Of the roots ration 1876 pounds of
milk and 6. 53 pounds of butter, differ.
ence in butter production in favor OF
silage amounting to 1914 per cent.
When the two lots Of lows were fed
alike and OH a combined ration of roots
and silagc, the silage lot produced, pei
100 pounds Of digesrible matter con.
sumed, 1879 pounds of milk and G.79
pounds of butter, and the roots lot 15C
pounds Of milk and 6 .46 pounds of but.
ter, showing al apparent superiority OF
the COWS composing the silage lot of 5. |
per cent, leaving a net gain in feeding
value of silage over roots Of 5 per cent.
In the period when silage was fec
against roots every animal receiving /
silage ration made a gain in live weight,
while four of the five animals receiving
tho roots ration lost weight. The silagt
lot made a total gain of 80 pounds anG
the roots lot lost 62 pounds, making 6
total difference of 152 pounds in favor
Of silage. The loss sustained by the
COWS receiving roots was practically re-
gained within the same number of days
in the next period, when they were fec
an equivalent amount Of dry matter in
silage.

EXPERIMENTS IN SUBSOlLING.
Conducted and Reported Upon by the
Iowa Homestead.

A'"h AAouleSteabus
Taken in an experimental way on
plats Of from three to ten acres in sew
eral parts Of farm, we are surprised
to see the effect that continuous sub
soiling has had during tho past dry sea-
son.. These plats have been subsoiled
each fall, and the growth upon them
has been a matter of wonder when they
were compared with the growth on
lands not SUBSIDIZED. We regret that wo
did not have any corn planted on these
plats in order to test the comparative
ability Of corn to withstand drought on
SUBSIDIZED and unsubsoiled land, but the
small plants and other plants that occu.
pied these plats show scarcely any evi.
dence of the extreme dry weather. They
had a deep, loose, friable soil into
which to extend root growth, and the
percentage of moisture in it was much
larger than in unsubsoilod land. The
blanket of dust or dirt mulch was
thinner here, and the growth was 0
~portionally stronger, the new growth be-
ing from Is inches to 5 feet up to Aug.
/. The excessive heat of tho sun and the
thirsty air beating down on the dust
mulch eyaporated tho least moisture in
the stratum directly beneath it in those
places whore tho ground had been loos-
ened deepest.
1t Is the common belief that during
times of drought tho deeper one digs for
the first eight or ten feet from the sur
face the dricr Is tho first foot, and the
percentage Of moisture increases as one
goes down. In a well cultivated field
the reverse Of this is true. There is a
sort Of blanket of moisture under the
surface, and the great heat absorbed by
the surface continually draws up this
subterranean moisture, holding it Iii.
rectlv to the roots of the crops, which,
together with surface evaporation,
draws it off. This, we think, is one rea.
son why wells go dry.
The evapOrative power of tho sun and
heat laden air is least where the ground
has been regularly lOosened quite deep,
and the power Of the soil to draw up
moisture and hold it about the plant

by Wind.

In describing irrigation methods in
southwestern Kansas a writer in Har.
per's Weekly says that so much water
was taken from the Arkansas river by
Colorado irrigators that it became dry
in summer, and Kansas farmers were
obliged to resort to the "underfiOw' of
their lands, which was raised to the
surface by wind power, applied to drive
wells 10 to 30 feet deep and saved and
warmed III reservoirs. Tllcrr are about
$50 reservoir irrigated farms near Gar
den City, and more are constantly iii
preparation. Some unknown hcnefactor
invented and made from old lumber the
Jumbo windmill. otherwise known AS
the Dutclmal, OverShOt and Go Devil.
Four posts arr set in the ground and
boxed in with boards. An axle with
four to eight spokes, on which wooden
paddles are nailed, is set on the box east
and west to catch the prevailing south
and north winds. A crank on one or both
n d works the pump or pumps. The box
shields tho lower part Of the wheel,
while the top is fully exposed % the
winds. 1t is chcaply built Of all sizes
and is doing good service in pastures,
at reservoirs, farmhouses and to irri-
gate small gardens.
While a few sections are supplied by
artcsian water flow the chief dependence
of tho arid west must he irrigation by
wind, compelling the powerful prairie
winds to raise the present useless un-
derfiow to the surface. This soil, with
water, is wonderfully productive, the
air superb, the climate Il delight, and
the country itself is the best sanitary
region of the world.

HE WAS KNOWN HERE.
Death of Patsy Coleman, the Pros
 peCtOr.

Death of Patsy Coleman, the Pros pector.
 4 letter was received in this city yes terday from John Hughes. Justice of the peace at White Hills, stating that man named Patsy Coleman, died suddenly at that place and was buried on the 2d, and asking for information about him or his relatives, if known here. -.
 Patsy Coleman is an old time pros- pector in this territory. He was em- ployed for long time at Bisbee, in the Copper Queen Company mines, and sub- sequently kept saloon in the same town. He is a member of Rath bone Lodge K. of P. of that place and has friends there who may have further knowledge of his family.
 Coleman worked part of the year 1893 in the Harqua Hala mines and left there to prospect north of Prescott. These facts are given by Hon. J. c. Perry who was we'll acquainted with Patsy, and now learns with sorrow of his sudden death. Patsy had his faults but he was tried, good and true in many other ways, and on the last call the bal ance will not be found against him. Mir. Perry received a letter about three months ago from Patsy. He was then at Jerome camp and wrote that he would continue his prospecting toward the White Hills.

Taking into consideration the excitement which naturally pre- ! vailed during the bloody episode the unanimity of the witnesses recol- lection of it was remarkab ble. The only points upon which there was the slightest difference of testimony was concerning the manner in which the | defendant had held the revolver when | firing the last three shots. All but two agreed that he had held it with both hands. The exact posture of Shurbert as he lay upon the ground was variously remembered and there was a little | difference of recollection or opinion as to the precise course he had taken in his flight and the exact point in the street at which he had fallen. One witness, too, could testify only to four shots. Otherwise the story waa as if one man had told it. For instance, McClintock who saw the beginning. could have stopped at the point where Blacks attention was first attracted and the latter could have turned the descrip- tion over to any one of half dozen witnesses who saw Shurbert leap from the curbstone into the street and the story would have been we'll joined to- gether and symmetrical.
 The trial so far has been peculiar in two respects. One of these is the rapid ity with which 1t is moving, and the other is the manner of taking the eyi- dence. The witnesses were permitted to tell their stories without guidance. The defense interposed no objection ex- cept where it became necessary just for forms sake to prevent the records from showing gross departures from rules of evidence. Objections so well grounded were always sustained and no excep- lions were taken. The cross-examina. tion was also conducted in a perfume tory manner.
 The courtroom was filled beyond the widest flight of the imagination of the man who designed the benches and half the audience had to stand up. But there was little to gratify morbid curiosity. The trial is so like clock work and not mich more thrilling. It is as cold blooded as the prosecution says the murder was.
 It is possible that the arguments will be concluded today and that the case will go to the jury room. How long it will remain there cannot even be satis- factorily guessed at, but court will go on just the same and the great murder trial of the term will be considered only slight two days interruption of the general course of business.
