Popcorn For Cattle.

A stockman and farmer contributor
is inclined to favor popcorn as fodder
for cattle. He believes that for this
purpose it would be more profitable
than field corn. 1t may be planted
much closer, and produces several ears
to the stalk, and a larger per cent Of
hulk and blade, and when fed to cattle
will be eaten with little waste, and the
corn will be raised and remasticated
in chewing the cud. 81 know some
cattlemen in Kansas, " says the writer,
"who grow it, and think it furnishes
more and better feed than field corn.
1t would not be profitable for hog feed,
as it is very slow work to husk it, and
if fed whole to them most CT the husk
and blades would be wasted. | think
popcorn will yield nearly as much
grain to the acre as field corn, and
consequently more valuable fodder, as
the stalks are small and would be
nearly all eaten

A Remarkable Surgical Operation.

On New Years Day William Scott,
of Hayes Valley, was seriously injured
by blow on the head. Epilepsy re-
suited from the pressure of the skull
on the brain. He was taken to a hos
pital for treatment. His commissions
were so violent and continuous that it
was feared he would die before the
surgeons could operate upon him.
An examination was made, and it
was found that there was a cranial de-
preston above the base of the brain
which should be lifted A circular
incision ten inches in circumference
was made above the line of the suture,
between the parietal and occipetal
bones. The bone was extracted and
the portion resting on the brain was
carefully raised An ounce AMI a-hall
of dark, yenous blood was removed
from the surface of the brain
The patient was convulsel with ep-
ileptic spasms twice during the opera
ton, but recovered consciousness
shortly after being released from the
table. Since then he has been stead
lily gaining strength and will ultimate
ly fully recover. The operating sur
geons were DR.. S. l. James and DR.. L.
F. Herrick.-.San Francisco Chronicle.

Eagle Carries off A Child.

A dispatch from Gainesville Fla
says big pet eagle carried off the
two-year.old child of Mrs. ]. L. Nor
rison Wednesday afternoon. The child
had gone into the front yard, where
the eagle makes it home, perched on a
cross-piece between two trees, and
where it keeps watch over one baby
eagle. The child approached too near
the young eagle, when the mother bird
bounced upon him and fastened her
claws in his head and shoulders.
The screams of the child brought
Mrs. Morrison to the scene. As she
approached the eagle rose from the
ground, bearing thechild in its talons
Mrs. Morrison saw little Harry borne
to what she thought was certain death.
When the eagle had mounted about
seventy feet the baby began to scream
in a plaintive manner. The mother
bird ceased its upward fight, and be-
gan to slowly circle downward with
little Harry. The eagle had descend
ed about twenty feet, when it aPPar-
emily loosened its talons, and the child
came tumbling down, striking and
lodging in a large cedar tree.
At this juncture Mr.. Morrison ap-
peared and quickly rescued the child.
Little Harry was unconscious, but soon
revived. No bones were broken. His
face and shoulders were badly torn by
the eagles talons, and one of his eyes
was injured.
Mrs. Morrison tainted as the child
was dropped by the eagle. The eagle
has been confined in a cage, and vii.
be sold.

Some Popular Errors.

The erroneous idea that the darkest
hour Immediately precedes the dawn
is so common that it has passed into
proverb. Light comes as gradually
in the morning as it does in the even
ing. 1t would be as correct to speak
of "the brightest hour before sunset.
There is no error which prevails
more widely, even among educated
people, than the belief that a man has
one rib more in his right side than in
his left, the deficiency being supposed
to have been inherited from Adam.
AS a fact, men and women each have
twenty-four ribs, twelve on each side
One Of the strangest errors Is the
delusion that the so-called changes of
the moon affect the weather. This
superstition, handed down from remote
times, Is held by the majority, both ed
ucated and otherwise, throughout the
world. It's almost impossible to con-
vince believer of this error, his an
swer being invariably to the strongest
arguments: "But how about the
tides" Yet scientists declare that
the moon has no control or connection
with the atmospheric changes.
a mistake which is widely believed
by all classes is that if a dead body be
carried across any land on the way to
the grave it established public right
of way over the land forever. There
is no ground whatever for the idea,
nor $50 far as the writer can ascertain)
has there ever been any ground at any
time. Why such an idea should be
prevalent is a mystery, but it is seri-
ously entertained, even by very many
educated people.

Threw Away His Canes.

Mr.. D. Wiley, ex-postmaster, Black
Greek, n. Y, was so badly afflicted
with rheumatism that he was only able
to hobble around with canes, and even
then it caused him great pain. After
using Chamberlain Pain Balm he was
so much improved that he threw away
his canes. He says this liniment did
him more good than all other medi-
cines and treatment put together. For

Heifers and Calves.

1t is generally best to breed heifers
so that they will drop their first calf
in the spring, as the fresh, rank grass
has a tendency to increase the size OF
their udders and thus make them good
mixers from the start. This means
that the heifer will be two years Of
age. Such early breeding may per-
haps prevent the heifer getting her
full growth, but it will develop the
milk giving habit. The milk glands,
if exercised at such time, will attain
size and vigor they are not capable of
once the animal has done growing.
While if they go over until three
years Of age they are apt to lay on fat
and become beefy.
But to breed heifers thus early it is
necessary to feed them properly. They
REQUIRE those kinds of foods which will
produce rapid growth, but not fat, as
the latter will develop the beef habit
at the expense of the milk. Glover
hay, wheat, bran, oats, very little
oil meal, etc., are the proper foods at
such a time. Corn is not a suitable
food, as it is too fattening. If the heif
is unthrifty and slow Of growth the
breeding should be delayed until she
is sufficiently advanced to endure the
drain on her system. This is case for
the exercise of discretion. Much de-
ponds upon the condition of the ami
NAL and the treatment she has previ-
ously received. Great care should be
used in the first milking of the heifer,
as the habits she acquires during the
breaking process will cling to her
through life. Any roughness or i'll
treatment at this time will permanent
ly affect her value. To keep her long
in milk tits desirable the first year to
milk the young COWS almost up to the
time of calving, as the first year set
ties many of her qualities and confirms
the milking habit.
As rule the first calf should never
be raised. The reason for its exist
ence ceased when it got the heifer
started to give milk. It is apt to be
small and puny, being the product of
an immature parent; nor is it likely
to inherit qualities which may or may
not be dormant in the heifer, who Is
still an unknown quantity. So that
for every reason the first calfshould be
turned into veal. By the time the
second one arrives the heifer has had
chance to show the stuff of which she
is made, so that it can be readily de-
termined whether it will pay to rear
her offspring. Many dairymen save
the heifer calves Of two-year-olds.
The temptation to do so is certainly
strong when the heifer is a pedlgreed
animal. But such action will be sure
to end in the running down Of the
herd and the loss Of those qualities
which rendered it valuable. Cultiva-
ton is required to fix and strengthen
inherited characteristics, and if nc
time if allowed for this, these charac-
teristics will be inevitably weakened
and finally lost. Another point also
is lack of stamina. The breeding Of
an immature animal checks its growth
and diminishes its vitality and nat
urally the offspring suffers. -Nel1
