give the Cow a Chance.

One-half the American people live On
the farm; and nearly all the rest of
them that are worth mentioning were
born there. The general welfare, to
provide for which our institutions were
established, requires that the food-pro-
ducing millions should be secure in
their pursuits; nor should any adroit
imposition, however backed by mon
ey, be allowed to take from the farm
any of it's legitimate earnings. Give
the American COW a fair chance. She
has been the faithful servant of man.
She landed with our ancestors at Ply
mouth Rock; and, tied behind the old.
weather-beaten emigrlnt wagon, she
has marched, with the household goods
Of the pioneers who have taken posses
sion of this country from ocea to
ocean. She has increased and multi
piled and replenished the earth, until
to-day the industries which she has
made possible contribute annually to
the wealth Of the world more money
than the great combinations of modern
capital-more than iron and steel,
more than lumber and coal, more than
cotton and wheat, more than all the
looms of New England, more than all
the mysterious riches of gold and of
silver.-EXchangc.

There is something IN the contrast
that seems to suggcst-but with a diff
fcrcncc-the gay villages that nestle

The strangest part of It Is that until
one comes to the bridge one does not
know. except from the guide book,
that the gorge is there at all. Who
could suppose that the river, apparent

through the very highest part of the

magnificent bridges, its beautiful little

make up to a certain extent for the

rREED BY A MONSTER BOAR.
Wild Hogs of California's Botto,
Lands Are Very FerociOus.

Wild Hogs of California; Bottom
Lands Are Very FerociOus.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt Of New
York is fond of talking about his ex-
periences IN California, and during one
of these variations he said:
"The most exciting and risky hunt
ing on the Pacific coast to-day is among
the wild hogs, down on the bottom
lands of the Colorado river, fifty or
sixty miles, south Of the old town Of
Yuma. A party of US was down there
last year, and I believe we had ad-
ventures enough to thrill our spotsmen
friends for a full generation.
A great many hunters in California
indorse every word of. Commissioner
Roosevelt's opinion, and no hunting
ground for big game is probably be-
coming more popular than this in the
winter time, when the climate along
the lazy, muddy Colorado river Is like
that of July in the Eastern States.
Two years ago an experienced
| spending the winter in Yuma. He had
a pair Of very fine, large staghounds.
| which the owner claimed could run
down and kill any wild hog along the
Colorado river. One day he took the
dogs and a rifle and went down the
river for a nice little boar, just right
FOR the oven. He had not gone thirty
miles, and landing, before he found a
band of hogs and little pigs, and turned
his dogs loose on them, when out of
the tules nearby jumped an enormous
boar, a monster, who, with mouth wide
open, paying no attention to the dogs,
made for the hunter. The latter drew
up his rifle and fred, but on came the
boar, the dogs nipping him at every
jump
The hunter fired a second shot, but
on came the beast. The hunter turned
and raj for q mesquite tree q few
yards distant, the hog close to his
heels. He dropped his gun, jumped
for life, grasping n limb of the tree,
just as the hog grabbed his pants, and
tore one-half of them from him, but lie
was safe, just out of reach. The dogs
all this while ran grabbing the hog by
the hind legs, to which the beast paid
no attention. The mad boar seized the
bark of the tree in his great tusks and
tore it into shreds. Finally he turned
upon the dogs, instantly killed one,
wounded the other so that it died soon
after. Then he turned his attention
to the tree where the hunter sat. He
guarded him until it was dark. Twice
did the man get down and try to get
his rifle, but his foe was on guard and
drove him back up the tree. During
the night the boar left. Daylight
came, and so did help. The men had
hardly reached the river and got in
their boat when down anne the old
hog after them, in vain pursuit.-St
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Stock Notes.

SAOSA
There is a growing demand for pure
bred stock. 1t is becoming a necessity
to have the best.
In selecting n stallion it is we'll to
remember tina: a horse canl-ot trans
nit what he does not possess.
If hogs must be given medicine. the
best and safest way is to give it to
them III their feed.
Make both the mutton and the wool
produced first-class, says n writer. and
sheep can be made profitable.
Thrift in sheep is generally secured
when they are considered sufficiently
valuable to be we'll cared for.
Cattle from one to two years old put
OH more flesh, for the food consumed,
than those from two to three years old.
1t is more necessary to groom the
horse than any other animal Gil the
farm, because he is the last to groom
himself.
The man who would have sound,
nicely-fornled hoofs on hi. horses when
he ome to sell them, must give attcn-
ton to. the hoofs of his colts.
No better feed for sheep or calves in
winter can he secured. says a stock
man, than by cutting the second crop
Of clover and proper ly curing.
A chemical analysis of foods does not
always give u true indication Of their
feeding value. This is most accurate
ly determined by exp ariments.
Given all other requisites, says a
horseman, the perfection of bodily Wig
or and ability to perform depends
largely upon food, its character and
amount.
The Northwestern Agriculturist says
experience has proven that goats will
| do we'll and car be p%rotitably raised in
any locality where sheep thrive; but
the best results have been obtained in
the dryer, more elevated sections.

selecting Brood sows.

An old and experienced pig grower
writing to one of our Eastern ex.
changes describes his kind Of a brood
SOW. He says: To make the best pos
sible selection, we should have a clear,
sharply defined ideal in our mind, ansl
1t should be about perfect; for the real
brood sow is not apt to be better than
the. ideal, seldom as good. Let me try
to describe mine-long and roomy, or
rather loose and open build, the cppo-
site Of compact, yet broad on the back.
with well sprung ribs. She should
have limbs Of medium length, strong
foot and pastern, deep sides, full flank
and broad, heavy hams. She should
have q short, fine head, heavy jowl,
large girth back Of fore legs, and four
teen well developed ;cats.
Caarseness IL allowable in the SOW

Feed stun.

The by-products of mills and facto-
ries give many products of rich feed.
The bran, middlings and shorts from
which -four is made is perhaps the
most common feed. Gluten meal is
the corn product from glucose and
starch factories, and grano-gluten is
from mailed barley of breweries and
distilleries; but the richest by-product
is the linseed meal f1our-the oil meal
or the cotton seed meal of the South.
The oil is expressed from the flax
seed, and the residue is in the form Of
hard cakes, called oil cakes. Formerly
the hulls were not removed from the
kernel, and the cake or meal was then
known as undecorciated. The compo-
sition of cotton seed meal depends on
the composition Of the seed and the
completeness of the separation Of the
bulls and the expression of the oil.
The composition Of the hulls depends
considerably upon the t~horoughnesa
with which the kernel and the lint are
removed. Usually more or less of the
kernel adheres to the hulls, increasing
the percentage of protein and fat. Lin
seed meal, or oil meal, is the residue
from the separation of oil from fiaz
seed, and is distinguished us old an(
new process. In the old process the OF
is expressed. In the new process it ii
more thoroughly removed with the ait
of solvents; hence the meal contains
less fat and inferior to the old process
meal.

Remedy for File. ON Cattle.

Remedy for Flies on Cattle.
A correspondent in Drainage Journal
gives the following: Take coal tar two
parts and coal oil and grease II part
each and mix with a small amount Of
carbolic acid. Apply with a cloth by
moistening the hair and horns OF the
animal with the liquid. In the appli.
cations include feet and legs. and it
will drive every fly away. and II ap
plication will last ten days or in
dry weather. Apply as often rs neces-
sary and your cows will be entirely Sc
cure from flies of all kinds. Any kind
of old lard or grease can be used. Coal
tar is the base of this remedy, and
when too thick to spread we'll use more
coal oil; when too thin to adhere we'll
use more coal tar. Carbolic acid will
cost about so to GO cents in crystals by
the pound, and every farmer should
always keep it on hand, as it. in its
many uses, is indispensable. This rem
edy is equally effective as a lice cxtei-
minator on poultry. and is used simply
by painting the sides of the henery
and roosts and dropping boards with
the liquid. For young chickens sat
urate a cloth and place in the bottom
