Cattle feeding and handling is a
large subject and only general prin.
ciples are to be laid down. No hard
and fast rules for feeding are now
known, and doubtless none ever will
be known, is the conclusion of the
Wisconsin and Connecticut experiment
stations 1t is nevertheless true that
the man who exercises the largest
amount of good judgment, based upon
all the most advanced science can
bring him, and who tries to put into
practice the knowledge thus acquired,
will be much surer of success than one
who works blindly. There may be no
best" breed. no "best" ration and no
best way of handling dairy stock.
but there are poor cows, uneconomical
rations and bad ways of handling, and
the man who learns to avoid the bad
and choose the better is well on the
road toward the best.

Charcoal for Corn-Fed Hogs.

A diet wholly of corn is very hard
to digest. If food does not digest in
the stomach it must sour, for its tenn
perature is always at 9s degrees,
which is extreme heat for summers
day. When souring of the stomach
occurs, it is remedied by feeding char
coal. This is not, however, a perma-
nent remedy, The charcoal is carbo-
naceous. and therefore the larger part
of it is like the corn. 1t is the potash
mixed with it that corrects the acidity.
But the better way is not to let the
stomach get sour. Feed even the fat
tening hogs some fine wheat, millings
with milk and a few sliced beets daily.
This will keep their digestion good,
and when food digests it does not sour

Elmer thought he would like to send a
present to his cousin George. He asked
his mother what 60 select for that pur-

said his mother. You have quite a
stock of toys, books, tools and other

1t was in the autumn and Elmer was
looking forward to his favorite winter
sports with feelings of delight. He
was well equipped for all the pleasures
which have such charms for boys where
they have winters.
The day came for his uncle to depart.

George opened the package sent by

him laugh outright 1t was a pair of

Quick! the battering ram. Break

Break

open the big doors!"
One is quickly unshipped from its
place underneath the truck, and, with
a man on each side, at the command Of
the captain, the ram is lunged forward
at the big doors. Crash-the doors
culver under the impact of the COM
bined weight of the solid mass of iron
and the two heavy men. A few more
blows and the locks give way, the doors
fly open, and into the black, sitting
smoke we force our way, dragging the
heavy hose with us.
We can see no fire nothing but
thick, dense smoke, choking our
threats, and making the water run from
our eyes in streams. Meanwhile the
men from the truck company have been
at work with the butt ends of their
axes, and have broken open the dead
lights and grating in the front over the
basement and the basement doors.
The fire having shown up there, we are
ordered to back out" and work in"
the basement-an order easily given,
but not SO easily obeyed; for the smoke
is now thick and so sitting that people
in the crowd on the other side of the
street are obliged to beat quick re-
treat before it. But we frcmen are
there to obey commands, not to ques-
ton them, and down we go.
A shower of glass greets us as we
back out, for it is now raining glass
and bits of the window-frames from
above. Ladders having been raised to
the upper floors, the truckmen are
making an opening for the pipemen of
other companies, that they may be on
hand should the fire get above the first
floor. Another shower, this time OF
red-hot plaster, greets us as we work
our way into the basement; and the
fire, now spreading all over the ceiling,
brings more down around us. The
heat is frightful there, and we turn
our fire-hats back foremost to protect
Our faces as best we can. We slash the
water around, knocking over burning
beams and piles of packing-boxes, the
hose squirming and quivcring under
the pressure of the tons of water De-
ing forced through it every minute;
the united strength of three or four
men is required to control it. All at
once one of our number gives gasp
and tumbles down at our feet, face
forward, in pool of dirty water and
plaster, overcome by the smoke and
heat. Another drops his hold upon the
hose and stoops to assist his fallen
comrade 1t is now rcd-hot in the
basement, and we cannot breathe much
longer.
II we do not back out soon, it will be
all over with us, but fremen, in the
enthusiasm and excitement of the mo-
ment, hate to retreat until actually
driven out, so we still hold our position.
At last we cannot stand it, and we re.

FARM AND GARDEN.
HOG CHOLERA REMEDY.
Official Report on she Treatment and Pro-
yention of the Disease.


vention OF the Disease.
With estimated losses of between
$40, 900, 900 and S25, 900, 900 from hog
cholera and swine plague in the United
States, the discussion of the treatment
and means of prevention of these dis
eases in bulletin issued by the agri-
cultural department is of great value
to the farmers of this country.
The bureau of animal industry has
been conducting an exhaustive inves-
tigation of this subject and finds that
the agents which destroy the germs of
one of these fatal diseases are also eff
fective in destruction of the germs of
the other. Both are spread by infec-
ton and their course varies from one
day to three weeks. Both are caused
by bacteria. The germs of hog chol-
era, says the report, are very hardy
and vigorous, while those of the swine
plague are very delicate and easily de-
stroyed. The latter are found to be
present in practically all herds of
swine, but the former must be intro
duced from infected herds.
The most efficient virus remedy
tried by the governments agents is
the following: Wood, charcoal
sulphur, sodium sulphate and anti
mony sulphide, one pound each;
sodium chloride, sodium, bi-carbonate
and sodium hyposulphite, two pounds
each. These are to be completely
pulverized and mixed, and daily
dose of large tablespoonful for
each 200 pounds weight of hogs
given. The medicine may be used
also as a preventative of these dis
eases. 1t should be put in the feed of
the whole herd. To insure successful
treatment the animals should be kept
in dry and comfortable quarters away
from drafts of air. Five or six
months should be allowed to elapse
after an outbreak before new hogs
are purchased or any of the old herd
sold.
The report recommends a rigid
quarantining of newly-bought hogs
and the prevention of their joining
those already on the farm for at least
six weeks. During the warm months
of the year the swine should have
plenty of young grass or clover;
crushed or rolled wheat should be fed
to the growing animals.

HANGING FEED RACK.
Convenient Thing for Farmers WheI
Sheep Are Kept.

A Convenient Thing for Farmers wher.
Sheep Are Kept.
The usual method of feeding sheep
has number of disadvantages. When
fed from the floor adjacent to their
pen, the lambs are quite sure to be
found walking all over the hay and
grain, and making themselves gen
orally at home in the uttermost parts
of the barn. The sheep, moreover,
wear off the wool from their necks and
disfgure themselves when feeding
through openings in The side of their
pen. Where the fodder is thrown down
from the floor above the pen an ar
rangement such as is shown in the
illustration may be found serviceable.
1t is a hanging rack with STATS all
around it, and made narrow at the bot
tom, SO that the flock can reach even
the last spear of hay. There will be

Cottolene as a Trademark.

An important and interesting Trademarks
suit, which has been before the courts for
some time, has recently reached decision
in the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District Of New York. The suit
was for an injunction against the infringe
ment of compliments (The N K. Fairbank
Company, Chicago trademark 'Cottolene"
by the use of the word "Cottoleo." The
validity of Cottolene as a trademark was
made permanent by an injunction, the case
being summarized by the court as follows
sit seems to be the law that when manu-
facturers have educated the public to ask
for a certain article by its trademark name,
they have acquired the right to insist that
products manufactured by others shall not
be given to the public under that name. II
is just that it should be so for the benefit
derived from such name can only be OBJ
tanned by faithful service in furnishing
articles of recognized value. Moreover, if
the trademark name might be adopted by
others, inferior articles might then be pro-
duced and sold under it, and thereby the
value to manufacturers of the reputation of
the name used by them as trademark
would be destroyed"
