Stock:

The addition of salt to the ordinary
food of animals does not increase
the digestibility of the substances
consumed, but it increases appetite,
promotes repair of tissue by its
searching diffusion throughout the
body, and stimulates the rapid using
up of the waste products. 1t in
creases muscular vigor and activity,
and improves appearance and con-
dition.
Where muscular strength is the
object in feeding, regular sailing
improves health and vigor. On the
other hand, fatteDing cattle should
have only as much as will keep up
their appetite for food. If given too
freely, it overcomes their sluggish
ness; but the more inclined to rest
they are the more rapidly will they
accumulate wealth of flesh.
Several good breeders of pure
stock in county always attract
trade. Healthy rivalry advertises it
as a fine stock county. If good
stock is introduced by one, he will
soon be followed by others who are
not willing to be outdone, and thus
the good work goes on, the stock i'm
proves and prices advance.
People like to get stock from fine
stock centers, especially from we'll
known advertisers, although exactly
the same can be bought at half the
price from some timid breeder who
has not made himself known in
print. If one has been judicious in
breeding, to make the business pay
he must toot his horn a little.
The proper end of a profitless
cows life is at the shambles, and
the sooner the better. Hay is high
again this winter, and it is season
able time to stop and consider what
horses and colts it would be
economy to dispose of before the
time for close stabling comes on.
In the herds, take this method with
the cows and calves alike.
Silage corn only should not be fed
to cattle, for neither in its nature
nor in its constituency is it the
requisite food to obtain the best re-
suits. 1t is excellent in combina-
ton with clover hay, supplemented
with bran or shorts.
While recognizing the value of
bran for feeding growing animals,
let us not be skeptical as to its value
for fattening stock. The finest beef
can be made at moderate cost with
no other grain food than bran. Pork
will be made faster and more cheap
ly if fed bran all through the fatten-
ing period, though little oil meal
should be added.
In feeding bran to cattle, feed it
dry, and it is better to mix it with
some fine cut hay or fodder. This
cut feed should be sufficiently wet
as to cause the bran to adhere. No
farmer ever yet gave bran fair
trial who was not pleased with the
result.
The hog will let you know when
his grub time comes by his squeal-
ing. Perhaps some of the animals
which make less noise notice your
neglect just as much. Domesticated
animals are wholly dependent upon
their owners for food, care and
shelter, and we should not forget
this.
A few sheep can follow the cows
upon a pasture, consuming much
that the cows have left. A small
flock can be often handled with
profit upon a dairy farm, but sheer
are closer feeders than cows, and, il
not careful, the pasture will suffer
Be sure that the flock is not toe
large.

Poultry.

More of our professional poultry
keepers, near the cities, are giving
their attention to capons. There are
no indications that the market will
be over stocked or prices lowered.
There is yet room for much larger
production in this line, and it will
pay those who give it attention as a
business.
The color of the shell is not an in
deX to the quality of the eggs, but in
most markets pure white shelled
egg sells better than any other; but
with them the more care must be
taken, for the white shell must not
be soiled by the least speck of dirt,
or its superior value is gone.
Gorging with foods which make
fat is not the way toward profitable
egg production. When fowls are
confined so that they do not get
much exercise, this is to be espe-
cially guarded against. There is no
single mistake, in the care of poul-
try, so common as that of over feed
ing.
There are some things about. poul-
try raising which can be taught only
by experience, and in the business a
little practice is worth a world of
theory. 1t is one of the branches of
farm industry which does not seem
to have profited much from the eX-
pertinent stations. Begin moderate
ly, and acquire your own experience.
A healthy chick requires no assis-
lance to free itself from the shell.
The head is so placed as to leave
room for action; it pecks a circle
and breaks out the larger end, ad-
mits air by degrees, and gradually
eXtricates itself. An attempt to
break the shell downward is usually
attended with loss of blood, and
death follows.
In fattening fowls for market let
them run at large until 10 days be-
fore you wish to sell them, then shut
them up and feed them all the brok-
en- wheat and corn on the ear they
will eat, and give them skim milk
to drink. Let this food, together
with a supply of grit, be scattered in
considerable depth of straw. They
will fatten rapidly.
An onion fed to a growing fowl
will in 10 days time affect the flavor
of the meat. 1t is unreasonable tC

to plan for a patch next summer
Timothy is high in price, and is a
short crop over most of the country;
but an acre of corn fodder is worth
two of timothy, and it is encourag-
ing to know that we have thousands
upon thousands of acres of good fod-
der, which will cost only the proper
gathering of it under cover where it
will not be injured.
If for no other reason than to kill
the weeds, pillow in the fall; putting
them under the ground is pretty
sure way of eradicating them; and
ground plowed early will hold
moisture better, for evaporation will
be materially retarded. A good
seed bed will be formed firm and
clean.

Sick-poison is poison which makes
you sick. 1t comes from the stomach.
The stomach makes it out of undigested
food. The blood gets it and taints the
whole body with it. That's the way of
it. The way to be rid of it is to look af-
ter your digestion. If your food is all
properly digested, there will be none
left in the stomach to make sick-poison

sufficient to lose for him the best
race ever paced In New England.
The third heat was the decisive one.
After having waited until we'll into
the stretch the other heats, Nc
Carthy commenced at the last turn
to make his drive with Agan with
the result that Robert j. was carried
off his feet right before the wire.
After that, instead of doing the
chasing Agan was the leader from
wire to wire.
Frank Agan MCCARTHY won the
third, fourth and fifth heats. Time,
2:051a, 2:05, 2:06.
Robert j. (Geers), won first and
second heats. Time, 2:031a, 2:05.
SphinXetta also started.
The following is what an exchange
says of the last heat of the great
New York race: "They got away
promptly, with Gentry scoring at
the pole, and on equal terms with
his field. The Kansas and the
Indiana geldings went to the quar-
ter like double team in 81 seconds,
Robert j. three lengths away.
Their positions were unchanged at
the half in l:0l4. 1t was at this
point that horsemen looked upon the
race as Robert Us. Geers had
driven the champion two easy miles,
and it was comparatively fresh
horse that Gentry had to beat. The
killing pace of the first two miles
was expected to defeat both Gentry
and Agan, and the holders of Robert
j. tickets were iubilant.
|, Head and head Gentry and Agan
paced up the hill in 3019 seconds, to
the amazement of those who held
watches on them. 1t was unheard
of, and turfmen looked twice at
their chronometers. Geers bided his
time before making the drive which
was expected to stem the tide of
victory for the stallion. 1t was a
case of do or die. At the head of
the stretch all three drivers were
working for their lives. Mccarthy
was yelling like an Apache on the
warpath. Andrews was swishing
his whip to and fro over Gentry's
back, and Geers was deep in that
inspiring drive of his which has
been called hypnotic and magnetic
and, somehow or other is just as
effective as the whip.
"On they came, Gentry at the
pole and Robert ]. on the outside
The little gelding was steadily bu
slowly creeping up to the leaders
and it was a question as to whether
Gentry could by any possibility las
long enough to win the decisive heat
Every mans heart beat faster as he
watched the battle, and it is safe tt
say that nineteen out of every
twenty hoped that defeat would no

In 1870 the payment was made in
currency, but the gold figures given for
that year were the equivalent, deduct
ing premium, of the $275 in currency
that was paid. Between the years 1870
and 1884, which is the last date to
which this comparison was at the time
carried, there was a gain made of just
$50 a year. or 81 a week, in the earn

The railroad men OF the United
States are rapidly organizing to pro-
ltect their wages. They are not slow to
see the result should Bryan be elected.
Nearly every state in the union have
the railroad rates fixed by law. These
rates cannot be advanced except by
legislative enactment. With a depreci-
ated currency the railroads would re-
received 10 and would be unable to
advance wages beyond the present
basis. If silver should be discounted

would go down just that much in their

his speech OF acceptance that ra ilroad
rates have not been reduced to keep
pace with the falling prices" AS a mat
ter of fact railroad rates have been
heavily reduced in nearly every state OF
the union. 1t Is fresh in the minds OF
the people that dozens of railroads have
been forced into the hands Of receivers
by the free traders, and now Bryan
would still further cripple the great
national highways by paying the re-
duced rates in a deprecated currency. |

Der Of speeches to the people of Ameri-

was also talking in that campaign. and
since then every statement he made
has been proved a fallacy. The peo-
pie now know who has the better judg-
ment. Mckinley said she price of
