A communication from the
Superior trades assembly was
presented by Delegate Pierce
in regard to the protest from
Duluth against the Superior

Mr.. Glock1y was taken up at
this point. Tie offending pro-

a vigorous arraignment of the
gentleman, in which he said
Glockly did not employ any uni

Engagement to do so, and that
he had told their committee
that he didn't. care whether

COB COAL FOR HOGS,
1t Keeps Their Digestive Apparatus
an a Healthy Condition.

II Keeps Their Digestive Apparatus
in a Healthy Condition,
There are many farmers who fail to
make success of making coal from
corncobs, and therefore the following
explicit directions are given: Save the
eobs and store them in dry place, TO
be burned when time permits. Aside
from the good care we give our pigs,
we attribute much Of their general
health to- the condiment prescribed
herewith, which seems TO keep their d.
gestive apparatus in healthy condi-
ton.
One who raises from 100 to $50 pigs
should aim to save at least 200 bushels
pf corncobs for charcoal. Make pit
~ TO feet deep, IL to IS inches in
diameter atbottom, Az to feet on top.
Have sheet iron cover made large
enough to cover the pit and project
six inches over the edge. Start fire
In the bottom with shavings and add by
degrees bushel of cobs, and let them
get well aglow. Then add three to four
bushels more, and when well on fire
add more, and so on, until the pit is
rounding full. If they burn faster on
one side than the other side lift the side
that Is burning least with pole. If
you have an old iron rod long enough
lay 1t over the center Of the hole so as
to keep the sheet iron from sagglng.
When all the cobs are well aglow, even
blazing freely, cover the hole with sheet
iron and seal the edges with earth, air.
tight, and leave 1t until the next morn
ing, when the charcoal can be taken
out, and If the job is well done there
will be from nine to twelve bushels

SHORT DAIRY NOTES.

Milk the COW where the flies will not
be eating her up.
The palate that prefers sour cream to
sweet cream butter is depraved.
Fighting flies and broiling in the hot
sun are not the best conditions for the
COW.
A sore teat or udder is enough to
make COW kick II the sore place Is
touched.
Marbles damage cattle to the extent
of millions of dollars, taking the world
together.
The very utmost care must be taken
in hot weather to keep the dairy uten-
sils sweet,
Milk is sensitive and so is the COW.
Stagnant pools are no places for the
COWS to drink.
That dog that has fun barking at
or chasing the cows is an expensive ami
NAL on the farm.
Good cows are pretty high in price,
but it will probably be long time be-
fore they are much lower.
If you have no ice or other means
of keeping the butter cool, you will
soon need jug to market it invest

in successful operation 16 creameries,
averaging in receipts 5000 to 10000
pounds of milk per day, and in the sum-

over 10000. Almost every one of these
factories supplanted other systems, and

Pigs, during growth, should be fed
on muscle-making foods. A mixture Of

WATERING HORSES.
An important Duty Which In Neglect
cd Far TOO often.

An Important Duty Which In Neglect
cd Far TOO Often.
No detail for caring for horses during
the summer Is of more Importance than
supplying them with water. It's mat
ter for regret that 1t is necessary to call
attention to the neglect of working
horses In this respect, hut It seems
necessary to do 80. Many men who
feed their stock literally, furnish warm
places for them in winter and keep the
stables as cool as possible during the
summer, seem to forget that the team
that is working under the burning sun
in the field from morning until noon
must suffer-from thirst in a way that
Is intensely agonizing.
Any man who tries to work half
day in the harvest field without drink
ing will soon begin to feel some of the
effects of going without water when
making severe exertion on hot day,
and will appreciate the condition Of a
Woodworking horse under the same
conditions.
! Sometimes 1t seems like waste Of
time to stop team and take 1t to get
drink, but time spent in this way is
never wasted, for the team will do
enough more to make up for the stop.
There are places where 1t seems impos-
sible to give the team drink between
breakfast and noon and between noon
and supper, but there is no shadow of
excuse for leaving team hitched to
the fence without water while the driver
goes to his supper and then comes back
to work the team until dark without
water from noon until that time. Such
o proceeding is not so common as 1t
once was, but 1t is still practiced to
some extent, and is the worst sort OF
cruelty to animals.
Horses perspire freely and are the
only domestic animals that do, and
their need for water is increased as the
amount Of perspiration increases, and
during the hot weather every effort
should be made to prevent them from
suffering from thirst, which Is the worst
sort of torture.-Farmers Voice.

The calf's foot Is golden nov. Calves
which went begging for buyers few
years ago are now worth ten dollars
almost as soon as they are dropped.
There ia great shortage Of feeding
steers all over the corn and grass states,
This shortage is temporarily supplied
by the enormous importations from
every point In the country. 1t is, how
ever, only shifting Of cattle from one
point to another, and there is no addi-
ton made to the cattle stock by such
movement, except to the extent that
they come from Canada, and even this
Is no real addition, for the reason that
the beef from these cattle is supplied
in the United States instead of Canada,
and has no effect whatever on the beef
markets of the world. Any increase
of cattle stock must come through the
growing of calves, and the farmer has
a dead sure market at profitable price
for his calves for year or two to come,
Hence, the calf should be watched not
for the sake of watching and thinking
Of the pleasing prospect of good price,
but for the purpose of securing as much
thrifty growth and as good form as
possible, for the better the form the
higher the price per pound it will bring,
and the larger the calf the greater num-
Der Of pounds there is to sell at price
fixed by the quality. How to feed that
calf to produce the best results is one
of the important questions just now.
Here, as in everything else, it pays to
take lessons from nature. Dame Ma.
ture feeds the calf often, feeds the milk
sweet and feeds 1t warm. The calf that
has a bellyful Of cold milk in the morn
ing and another at night, with no drink
during the day, and is exposed to the
hot sun, will not bring a big price,
Nature feeds the calf balanced ra-
ton. If 1t is fed skim-millS that ration
is unbalanced by the withdrawal of the
butter fat, and this must be supplied in
some way. The cheapest substitute for
the first few weeks is jelly made by
boiling oil meal. After the first three
or four weeks oat meal should be sub
stituted gradually, and corn meal as
gradually substituted, in part at least,
for the oats. Corn at 12 cents per BUSH
ell, and oats at the same price, will
furnish the proper balance at a much
lower rate than butter fat. There are
thousand little things in connection
with calf growing that can be learned
only by experience, but the man who
observes, thinks, reads and practices
will very soon catch on and become an
expert. There is a very solid bottom
under this business now, and the farm
err that has strain of native cattle com
bining milk and beef forms is the man
who can fill the demand to the best adj
vantage.-Journal of Agriculture.

Good way 10 House Hogs.

A cheap and healthful way to house
sows and pigs is to make iloorless
houses, six by six or six by eight, set
over a bottom composed of an inch or
two of coal cinders with five or six
inches Of broken corn cobs on top. This
makes a good bed, and is claimed that
hogs do not root into it. Each spring
and fall tip the house over and roll it
out Of the way, saturate the cobs with
coal oil and burn them up. This makes
a clean, dry place for new bed, and
destroys all filth and disease germs.
The cobs can usually be obtained free
of charge wherever 2 power shelter is

HINTS For sTooKMEN.

Vasellne is fine remedy for sores on
the horse.
Soaked corn, instead Of meal, may be
fed to the pigs during summer.
Feed the pigs when weaned one-third
cornmeal and twoJthirds shorts.
The horse that works six days in the
week earns a rest on the seventh.
Ill-ftting harness is to the horse
like an ill-ftting, pinching garment to
n man.
1t is claimed that hogs will eat sofa
bean hay as eagerly as a COW will eat
clover hay.
Pigs that do not have enough good
milk will be stunted. Feed the sow
beautifully.
Keeping horse on corn alone in sum-
mer is like building fire In the parlor
stove In August.
Cow pens, unless wanted for pasture
alone, should not be planted on rich or
naturally moist ground.
Ground wheat mixed with milk pref
ty thick, or as thick aswill pour, makes
excellent feed for the pigs.
1t is good plan, says writer, to
feed corn to the sows and pigs-soaked
corn-before the pigs are weaned.
The bicycle has undoubtedly injured
the livery business, and consequently
been an injury to scrub horse breeding.
When stock feeders, says writer,
come to know the value of peas and
beans for feed they will be as staple as
corn.--Western Plowman,

made, as illustrated, that serves the
purpose admirably. The logs rest upon
q foundation Of stone or wood, the
lower log being one foot from the
ground, and three logs on each side, the
extreme height of fence being not less
than AZ feet. On the leeward side Of
the stack pen permanent and durable
manger can be easily made from small
poles. This may extend the entire
length Of the pen, and be built up on one
or more sides. The straw is thrown
into It directly from the stack, and, If
n ration Of hay or straw be fed at noon,
1t will prove equally as valuable, the
only objection being that 1t is located
out Of doors. 1t is far more economical
than to throw the food upon the
ground or in the nearest fence corner.

ness, strength and length Of staple, says
American Sheep Breeder, and these

out saying that as the fleece is part
of the animal it is quite as dependent

It Is. That Is to say, the wool being
derived from the food and the general
nutrition of the sheep. any failure In
these is Immediately marked by an

Mhen to Churn Crenm.

1t is an exceptional case when it can
be considered best to churn cream on
the day it is taken from the milk. The
better plan is to ripen carefully, not per-
uniting it to get too sour. AS generally
the cream from the different skim
mings is put together, in order to have
1t ripen evenly, it is nearly always best
to stir all well together each time fresh
cream is added, in order to have all
ripen uniformly. If care is taken in this
there Is less difficulty in getting the
butter globules to separate properly,
