Light on the Ways Of Nature.

This is the season of the year when
the festive small boy ties the June bug
with thread around the hind leg and
let's him buzz.
There is nothing SO annoying to dog
as the buzzing of June bug, and the
small boy Knows it, and his young
heart is glad that it is so. Every time
he finds vagrant dog he pulls the June
bug out of a miscellaneous array of ar
ticles in his trousers pocket and puts
him to buzzing around the dogs ears.
The dog immediately gets down to
business on his launches and furiously
scratches fieas from behind his ears
People who pass the dog and the boy
get fieas on them, and for that reason
flea time comes along, nip and tuck,
with the time of the musical June bug

Live Stock Points.

The fattening season begins. Lucky
those who have something to fatten
with. Make all animals that you are
preparing for market as comfortable as
possible. Keep them happy in their
minds. Animals have minds. Make
them warm enough, but not too warm.
Give them plenty of water, plenty of
salt and charcoal, and, above all, keep
them clean. The man who will let his
hogpens be filthy and nasty is hog

The mixed crop of oats and peas can
be sown either in the fall or spring. 1t
makes an excellent cured fodder, but it
will not take the place of hay, as some
suppose An experienced feeder Of the
mixed oat and pea fodder crop recon-
mends thrashing out the grain and
grinding it. 1t can then be fed to adj
vantage with the cut fodder of the
stalks. The best way, however, is to cut
the crop green. Feed it fresh, as much
as possible, and cure the rest like hay.
The stock will eat it hungrily and not
leave bite This crop is not very good
for silo, as it tangles up too much.

Worth Thinking About.

Sir J. 3. Lawes tells in The Rural
New Yorker how the Germans now are
taking from this country large quantities
of linseed and cottonseed meal for feed
ing stock. Suppose they send back in
place of it sugar made from beets grown
with the fertility contained in the linseed
and cotton seed. 1t is easy to see how in
such trade Germany has the advantage
by importing fertility and exporting a
product that is of no fertilizing value.
Americans should feed the stock food
and grow the sugar at home

As To Wool Merchants.

Marshall Orr of Idaho writes to The
American Sheep Breeder: ''The wool
clip in this section is extra clean and
fine this season. Sheepmen in this To-
cality are blue, as the clip will not pay
expenses. For my part, am tired of
feeding coyotes and commission men.
After IA years experience with COM
mission houses have come to the con-
clusion that a grander set of thieves
never lived. 1t has always seemed
strange to me that for wool, grown from
the same breeding as the Ohio sheep,
raised in the Rocky mountains, fed on
alfalfa and l-ept fat the year round, we
should receive only about half what the
eastern grower does. l admit ours is
much dirtier than theirs, but why is
there such differences when secured!
That is the point.

Few people know how a beef car
cass at the great packing houses is cut
up and disposed of in the way Of COM
plete utilization. The long ends of the
tails of cattle are sold to mattress max
ers. The undigested food in the CATTLE
stomach is pressed and used for fuel.
Many of the large white hoofs go to
China, where they are made into jewel
ry The intestines are used for sausage
castings The bladders are used to pack
putty in. The horns and hoofs are care
fully preserved and sold to the manu-
facturers of combs, buttons etc All of
the scrap from rendering operations is
carefully preserved and dried and sold
to the fertilizers. The stomachs of hogs,
instead of being sent to the rendering
tanks, are now used for the manufac-
ture Of pepsin. Hogs feet, cattle feet
hide clippings and the pith of horns as
well as some of the bones are used for
the manufacture of glue. All of the blood
is carefully preserved and coagulated
by cooking with steam, then pressed
and dried and sold to fertilizer manu-
features. Bones are dried and either
ground into bonelneal or used for the
manufacture of bone charcoal, which is
afterward utilized for refining sugar
and in some other refining processes. -

What Thoroughbred" Means.

In England the word thorough
bred' is applied only to a race horse.
In this country it is used indiscriminate-
ly of all animals Of pure breed. Unless
one bears in mind the English usage,
however, the term Thoroughbred
will be little confusing. 1t certainly
would be SO to an Englishman as we
use it.
Full blood and pure blood mean in
America the same as thoroughbred.
Probably the usage here will gradually
conform to that Of Great Britain. A
crossbred animal is the product of a
pure blood sire of one breed and a pure
blood dam Of another. A grade is an
animal partly fine blooded, partly OF
common stock. Exchange.

stopping Runaway Horse.

Scarcely week passes in any year
that human lives are not jeopardized by
horses taking fright and running away.
The man who can devise some means
which will surely prevent this will be
a great public benefactor. Some one
who processes to know states that runa,
way accidents seldom occur in Russia.
The means used in preventing them is
very simple.
1t is asserted that in Russia a horse
that is addicted to the habit of running
away has thin cord with a running
moose around his neck at the neck strap,
and the end is tied to the dashboard.

FODDER SHREDDER.

lean agriculturist would starve to death
on and not only make good living on
it, but save money enough to buy other
shiftless and discouraged American
owners lands. The German farmer gets
rich by saving in this country, as he
was obliged to save in the old one.
Our more enlightened farmers-not
the run down at the heel ones-are
learning to save by investing in first
class machinery as fast as they are able
to pay cash for it. The enlightened
farmer will not go into debt for ma
chinery. 1t is too risky.
Fodder is cut green and put into the
silo by many of the best live stock men.
We do not know that the shredder is of
any particular advantage here, but it is
claimed that it is. The claim is that the
shredded silage will pack closer and
keep out air. The best shredders cut the
stalk, leaves and ears of corn into a
mass which resembles excelsior mattress
filling. The illustration shows one pat
tern of these shredders. The wide awake
farmer cuts his fodder with corn cut
ting machine, cures it and then shreds
it and packs it away like hay. After be
ing shredded it can be baled The gain
in the quantity of fodder saved and di-
gested would in few years pay for the
cost of the machine.

The Beef Cow and Calf.

For the first three or four weeks after
calving the udder should be frequently
examined, and until the calf can con-
sumo the whole of the milk any surplus
supply must be drawn off. At all times,
SO long as the calf is still sucking, ct
tention must be given to see that all
the teats are clean. Calves will not suck
a dirty teat, and if not regularly sucked
the quarter of the udder it belongs to
will become engorged- So long as there
is no demand for the calving box the
COW and her calf may remain there; but,
if it is required, then the COW may be
returned to her stall and the calf be tied
up by her side. This tying up of the
calf is best done by means of strap
around the neck. Exchange.

Among the agricultural machines
coming into demand lately is the fodder
shredder. Fodder alone, after the ears
of corn have been husked out, contains
81 per cent of the value of the crop.
Nearly that per cent of the fodder itself
has been wasted heretofore by the old
fashioned method of feeding. In addi-
ton to that, the sharp pieces of the stalks
cut great scratches in the lining of the

The Pigs In Fall.

So far as possible, the fall pigs should
be weaned and be well accustomed to
eating before severe cold weather sets
in. 1t is difficult, unless more than or
binary care is taken, to wean pigs in
cold weather without stopping the
growth, to some extent at least, and
this is always to be avoided. Then, if
the pigs are not weaned until late, the
sows cannot be bred to the best advan-
tage for the spring litters. On nearly
every farm it is quite an item to have
good supply of pigs for fall feeding, and
in doing this the fall filters should be
weaned in good season SO as to allow
the sows to recuperate before breeding
again.
It is best gradually to increase the
feed Of the pigs, commencing about 10
days before weaving, SO that by the
time they are weaned they can be given
all that they will eat up clean. 1t is
usually best to change the quarters of
the pigs, putting them into new place,
rather than to change the sow, as they
will fret less than if in their accustomed
place. 1t is always best to allow them
to run out in order to afford them a
good opportunity to exercise, as a
healthier growth and development will
be secured if they can run out than if
closely confined.
Under ordinary conditions the separa-
ton can be made complete at once. If
the SOW is given dry feed and stinted
ration for two or three days after the
pigs are taken from her, there will rare.
ly be any trouble with her, while the
pigs will not be benefited by allowing
them to suck again.
The pigs must have warm quarters
and be well fed, and at the same time
they must take exercise every day It
of their beds, especially if the weather
is cold, in order to make them take
exercise enough to keep healthy. A pig
loves warm bed, and the more they lie
in it the less inclined they will be to
leave it, and they will get so that they
will refuse to come out to eat. But with
a little care at the start to keep them
vigorous this may readily be avoided.
The aim in feeding is to keep the pigs
thrifty rather than fat, maintaining a
steady growth every day, and in the
winter more than ordinary care is neces.
sary. If they can be kept growing rapid
ly during the winter, fall pigs can usual
ly be made profitable, but otherwise
they will prove loss. At this season
they are often SO stunted at weaving
that they never fully recover.-Cor. St
Louis Republic.
