CLEVELAND, Jan 18-Judge Kicks left
the city late last night for Chicago where
he expects to sit with Judge Woods in
consideration of one of the Clover Leaf

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

FARMERS in the west find that it
pays to raise heavy draught horses for
the larger cities, especially for use on
drays.
On large farm it is as important to
have good roads leading to the fields,
to reduce cost of hauling, as to have
good highways.
THE growing of mangels should be
engaged In much more by farmers than
is at present. Many tons can be grown
on an acre of ground, and make excel
lent feed for stock in winter.
THERE is a wide field open for the in

useful in all departments of the farm,
and is also excellent for service on the

rest. At the same time clip the hair
from the heels of the horse and apply

The HORSES TAIL.


Frequently 1t Indicates tie Health sNd
Strength of the Animal.
In wen-formed horses the tail should
be strong at the root, rising high from
the Group, the direction of which it fol-
lows. When this is horizontal the tail
is gracefully carried, especially when
the horse is blowing. With power
full, good-shaped horse 1t is often car
ried upward, or even curved over the
back. especially when the horse Is
lively. The health and strength of
the animal are. according to popular
notions, indicated by the resistance
the tail offers to manual interference
and by the way in which it is carried.
To some extent also it affords an indi-
cation of the horses disposition.
A fdgety horse usually has the tail,
like the ears, always in motion; when
about to kick the tail is drawn down
ward between the legs; when the ami
NAL is fatigued or exhausted then it is
dropping and frequently tremulous;
and with some horses, when galloping,
it is swung about in circular manner
or dashed from side to side. There can
scarcely be any doubt also that, like
the tail of birds, it assists in the horses
movements, as when the animal is gal
Looping in small circle or rapidly
around corner it is curved to the in
ner side.
With well-bred horses the hair Of
the tail Is comparatively fine and
straight, and often grows to such a
length that it reaches the ground;
coarse-bred horses may also have the
hair long, but then it is usually very
thick and strong and more or less
frizzly. though soft, curly hair may oc-
casionally be noticed in the tail OF
thoroughbred horses. In some horses
there is tendency to shedding of the
tail hair this, like that of the name,
tail, forelock, fetlocks, and some other
parts, is permanent, and not shed at
certain seasons, as in other regions of
the body; the horse is then said to be
''rat-tailed," and there is a popular
saying to the effect that such horse
is never bad one. In other instances
the tail hair falls off, except at she
end of the dock, where it forms tpft,
and the horse is then ''cow-tailed" or
, ssmule-tailed. "-Nineteenth Century.

A small boy was going along the
street whistling an improvisation, very
badly out of tune. His old pal, a shay
gy ard very disreputable-looking black
Newfoundland dog. followed him de-
iectedly. Along the street came dog
catcher's wagon, and when the deputy

who set up a terrific howl, which
seemed to amuse the dog catcher i'm
mensely. On the opposite corner stood
a group of express wagons and their
drivers loafing near them. One of the
drivers called to the boy encourage
ingly:
"Why don't We git rock and break
his face?"
At this the dog catcher. who was
winding up his moose, turned toward
the expressman. The dog catcher was
very unlovely person; his face was
red and freckled and he had wonder.

ing tone he addressed the expressman

The other man mumbled something
.An' say, I'd jest poke You. one on de

This was a slur at the A. r. A. tenden

dog catcher's wagon rolled, away the
dog catcher continued his threats in q

would have made his fortune on the

SklM-MllK CALVES.
They Grow az Rapidly as Animals Fed on
Other Foods.

They Grow az Rapidly as Animals Fed on
Other Foods.
In many farm districts the milk is
sold to dairy factory where the
cream is removed from the fresh milk
by centrifugal separator. The cream
becomes creamery butter, but the
sweet skinned or separated milk is
sent back to the farms in the milk
wagons, being sold at nominal price
per gallon for feeding to calves and
pigs Oil cake or faxseed meal is
often added to the milk when fed to
calves, but Prof. C. L. Curtiss, of the
Iowa agricultural college, has recently
shown that it is much better to replace
the flaxseed meal with ground oats, or
with corn meal containing one-tenth
OF ground faxseed. Calves were sue
cessfully and proftably reared on sep
arated milk and the grains and hay
usually grown on the farm. During
the first three months the increase in
live weight was at the rate of one
pound of gain for little less than two
pounds of dry rnatter in the feed, esti-
mated by eva orating all the water
from representative samples. Dur
ing the eighth month, without milk,
these calves gained an average of one
pound for each four and three-fifths
pounds of dry matter in the grain, hay
and green forage fed to them. The
experiment indicates that good calves
can be grown on separated milk and
farm feeds during their first two or
three months of life, at a food cost of
about two cents per pound of live
weight. The superior adaptability
and digestibility of separated milk for
young animals is also shown, as
well as the application of the law of
growth that as growing animals adj
vance in age, an increasing quantity Of
food is required for given amount of
| gain.-Ohio Farmer.
