miscellaneous Notes.

It's a pretty hard matter to tell what
kind of a COW heifer Is going to make
until she has been milked year. Per-
formance tells the story.
Flaxseed meal or sunfiower seed is ex-
cellent for moulting fowls as it quickens
the growth of the plumage and makes 1t
glossy and ready for exhibition.
The bone cutter is as necessary to the
poultryman as his feed mill. 1t enables
him to use an excellent and cheap food,
and gives him a profit where he might
otherwise be compelled to suffer loss. It
is claimed that the bonecutter pays for it
self: in eggs, and really costs nothing.
Bones are now one Of the staple articles
of food for poultry. and no rations should
have them omitted.
For once, says the Coxsackie (N. "
News, apples are practically free. People
who wish to stop at the roadside and pick
juicy apple now meet with no opposition
from orchard owners. Farmers complain
that they cannot sell the fruit to any ad-
vantage, prices ranging from 30 to 75 cents
a barrel. 1t is difficult to secure the higher
figure, and at the smaller 1t does not pay
to pick pack and market the apples. The
result is that vast quantities are converted
into cider. and presses are worked to their
full capacity.
Fresh charcoal is readily eaten by all
kinds OF poultry, including ducks, geese,
turkeys, guineas and chickens. It serves
as a corrective when they have been con-
fined too closely on one kind of food, and
1t also promotes digestion. Charcoal is
excellent as grit. for NO matter how fine

She weighs about 1,000 pounds; she is some

horse and milk in the COW are allied. Beef

and that is something food will not pro-

a Jersey or whatever she may be. You will
find her with bony head and strong jaw,
broad muzzle. She should have a very
bright, protruding eye-I want COW I
can hang my hat on her eyes. Why?
Simply on account of her brain power. 1t
means strong nerve force, and that means

retreating brisket. The lines above and
below must not be straight, or she willsteal

must have large organs of reproduction
you don't want a COW with a straight
back; 1 want. her wedge-Shaped. I want
two wedges, large in rear and large heart
girth, |. e., wide between forward legs,
sharp on shoulder. This gives me large
heart action and strong arterial circulation.
Then last, but by no means least.
she must have a good udder. for one-half
of the value Of the cow is in her udder.
She should have a long udder from front to
rear. Then she must have a good handle
on each corner Of her udder. And why?
Because II she gives two pals Of milk a
day it Is a matter Of some labor to milk

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.

Republican Campaign Wagon Stoned
Mt MISREPRESENTATION Crippled
and Banners Ruined.
It appears that the hoodlum following
which Boy Orator Bryan has in this state
and this community is determined to play
its rufian part to the last and make votes
for Mckinley ard the Republican state
ticket. Yesterday afternoon a wagon hired
by the Republican county committee was
being driven about the public square in In
dependence in order to advertise the speech
to be made by T. B. Haughawout, OF Car
thase. 1t was seen by seventeen young
Popocrats who were preparing to join the
silver parade in this city last night. Six
teen of these scoundrels were dressed to
impersonate silver and one was dressed to
impersonate gold. The leader of the gang
was Frank Chiles, a nephew OF Samuel
Chiles, the Popocratic nominee for county
marshal. They stoned the wagon. 1t was
damaged to a more or less extent and the
horse was crippled. The signs on the sides
were torn to pieces by the stones, and the
driver was Obliged to drive down a side
street to escape serious injury. This out
rage was perpetrated in broad daylight in
the most public place in Independence.

partitioned on so as to keep the SOW out
and give the pigs free access. and here
feed the pigs. Begin with little shelled
corn and oats soaked, and In trough easy
of access give little milk. Never let
soiled or sour food remain in the trough.
but feed just what the pigs will eat up
clean; this should be the rule in feeding
all animals l prefer to wean the pigs at
weeks old, but if II Is desirable to breed
the SOW sooner and milk is plenty. they
may be weaned without danger of stunt
ing at from to weeks old. From wean-
ing time to marketing feed all they will
eat, but let corn make but a small part
of the ration until within six weeks Of
selling. During this period the food should
be such as will build bone and muscle and
give the best development of all the vital.
digestive and assimilative organs, and for
this purpose food should be rich in nitro
gen, bulky and nutritious. Milk is the best
food and, is almost indispensable for a
short time before and after weaving, and
good. sound, clean potatoes, boiled and
mashed and thickened with bran mid
dlings and oil meal. makes the best SUBJ
stitute for milk. Salt all the slop slightly,
as it makes 1t more palatable, and / be-
lieve also more digestible. In addition to
this. If salt and ashes are kept where the
pigs have free access to them, 1t will help
to keep them healthy. Never feed sour
slop. A slight fermentation is not objec-
tlonaole, out II Snouiu never be allowed
to reach the acid stage. Cooking food,
with the single exception of potatoes, is
not profitable. but young pigs in winter
will do better to have their slop slightly
warmed. Barrels in which to make slop
in cold weather should be packed in saw
dust, and warmly covered and then the ad-
dition of gallon or two of boiling water
each day will keep The slop warm. In
feeding bran I use one or two quarts Of
oil meal (old process) to each bushel, and
about four quarts Of middlings. and feed
1t about as thick as 1t will run. While
finishing the pigs on corn. do not stop
feeding the slop, but reduce the amount.
A pig fed on this bulky. heterogeneous food
develops large stomach and great diges-
tive powers and can manufacture a large
amount of food into pork. and a good feed
er can make his pigs gain a pound per
day from birth to or months old, and
the man with a dairy who sells only
cream or butter can do considerably more
than this
