The idea is prevalent that corn smut

"a Il dine in part at least to smut. If
y, snoh times any cows aborted, it was
,,snally attributed to the smut Some
'.sa,s ago, i'll order to test this matter

Ths COWS were closely watched, and

weeks No bad effects We're observed
o,cent with one COW. She ate an i'm
mcnso quantity.
similar experiments have been made
at the Ohio, Illinois, Nebraska and 9TH
or experiment stations, and in none of
them have any bad results been reported.
The latest experiment of the kind of
which we have any record was made by
Professor Clinton d. Smith of the Mich
igau experiment station. Professor
smith sums up his report as follows:
nThe conclusion which can .afely be
drawn from the experiment is that
where cows are gradually brought into
The habit Of consuming large quantities
nj smut iU does not seem hurttul to
them. Whether the same thing would
be true where cows unaocustomed to
smut suddenly gain access to large
ouantities OF it must remain for future
experiment 1t is safe to say, however,
that any quantity of smut that would
be at all likely to exist in cornfeld or
ON the stalks, as fed under normal con-
ditions to COWS, would not be dangerous
to the health of the animals"
C. p Goodrich, writing to The Prai-
ne Farmer, says that his experience is
that stock can't get enough smut in the
epsilage to do them the least hurt.
When it comes to turning cattle in a
stalkfeld that has great deal of smut
IN it, the case may be different. He
does not, however, approve of neglect
ing means of preventing smut which
decreases the yield of corn. He says:
scientists tell us that smut is fungus
that is propagated from spores that are
in the ground or in the seed corn, and
that the smut that is left in the corn
field this year or hauled out in manure
from cattle that have been fed smutty
corn will DO likely to make more smut
next year. If that is the case, it may
pay farmer to gather up all the smut
and destroy it rather than have it left
on the ground. The smut spores in the
seed corn can be killed by soaking it in
blue vitriol. and by changing crops SC
as not to have corn several years in sue.
n eession on the same ground there will
h DO less liability of growing smut.

First.-There is the genuine dairy
man, who always has at least 20 COWS
giving milk and sometimes so or more.
The COWS and his mind are both well
cared for. The butter maker who at
tempts to instruct such man about the
management of his herd or the care of
his milk must be well informed and
read at least three agricultural or dairy
papers every week.
Second. The farmer who keeps from
two to six cows. He does most of the
work himself and has neat and attract
i've barn, house and home, He is very
we'll acquainted with his COWS, but
reads the weekly edition of the daily
papers and some Of the monthly maya
zines more than he does his one agricul-
tural paper,
Third. The man who farms a good
many acres of land, but lives in small
house which is surrounded by an &C.
emulation of broken wagons, farm ma
chinery and many other things that
have been dropped in the shuttle of his
everyday work. Pigs, geese and chick
ems dodge around this mass of material
or roost on the water tank. They may
occasionally enter the house, but the
human inhabitants of this complicated
dooryard seem to be either hustling
about, as if they were nearly overcome
by the amount of work they are trying
TO do, or are quietly content to live with
the stock in these untidy surroundings.

Watch the Poultry.

When fowls are judiciously fed, made
to take exercise and their quarters kept
clean and free from lice, there is COM
paratively no trouble with sickness, ex-
cept in cases of contagion.
When the combs and wattles of the
fowls are Of bright red color, it indi-
Gates condition of health
When the fowls are busy scratching,
the hens laying and singing and the
cocks growing, these are signs of good
health.
When you can enter the henhouse
after dark and hear no wheeling, it
proves there are not any roupy fowls in
the flock
When the edge of the comb and wat
ties is of Il purplish red and the move
ments sluggish, there is something
wrong.
When fowls lie around, Indifferent
to their surroundings, they are too fat,
and death from apoplexy, indigestion
or liver complaint will result unless
the trouble is corrected.
When the fowls are restless and con-
stantly picking their feathers, they arc
infested with vermin.
When young poultry, especially duck
lings, appear to have sore throat and
swallowing is difficult. it is the symp-
tom of the large gray lice ON the neck.
As soon as fowl gets ill isolate it
and commence doctoring it at once. The
trouble with far too many is that they
wait until the disease is in its advanced
stages before giving medicine, A very
sick fowl is difficult to cure, and when
cured it is seldom of value afterward. -
Cable in Massachusetts, Plowman.

At the Rockville Conn fair 800
was offered in prizes for six cows enter
ed by one man that should produce the
most butter ct in "a hours The six
winning cows gave 1761a pounds OF
milk which contained S.4 pounds OF
butter fat, equal to 9.8 pounds of but
ter This is not n large performance as
compared with many private records
made ut home. These six cows, howey-
err, are good business animals, With "a
cows competing for the prizes the aver
age weight of milk was 81. 3 pounds and
of butter l.i0 pounds. Such dairy con-
tests are worth ten times as much TO
the average farmer as is the horse
trot," yet the latter performance usual
ly commands so much of the money
that there is little for other prizes
Such dairy contests are usually surpris-
ing. Actual weights and analyses mark
out the robber cows and show farmers
the necessity of knowing what their
cattle are doing. Exchange.

gent and gentle as cows could be. a
dairyman who had herd of then
would be sure of large quantity OF
milk Of fine quality and richness, and
he would have besides herd that would
make his farm one of the show places OF
the neighborhood, so picturesque and
attractive are the Dutch Belts.
At Llewellen Park, N. j., is a fine
herd of these cattle. They drew to
themselves much attention at the state
fair and captured nine prizes.
The Dutch Belts are very hardy in
constitution, enduring extremes of
weather we'll. In color they are entire
ly black except for the wide white band
around their bodies. The bulls mark
the characteristics Of the breed strongly
upon their grade offspring. In a herd Of
cattle the Dutch Belt cross is sometimes
shown in red cows with the white band
around their bodies.

son, and its period of incubation extends
to five weeks. The geese are prolific lay
ers, but their eggs are small for the size
of the bird, being not more than half the
size of those of the common goose. The
spring goslings are easily reared and
are fair average quality for the table.
The disparity in size between the sexes
is considerable, often amounting to
over one-third Of their relative weights.
The color, us the name indicates, is u
pure, spotless white, which, contrasted
with the yellow or orange colored bill
and legs, gives quite IA pleasing effect
and the goose certainly deserves to rank
in tho first class Of ornamental poultry.

1t is somewhat curious fact that the

Canadian eggs, for instance, ARE heavier

ed the trade by failing to respond to our
advance of Saturday and the market
here opened six to nine points down.
Prices declined further Immediately after
the opening, but buyers are plentiful for
cotton now, and the market recovered
quickly. Liverpool bought heavily here
to-day and contributed greatly to our
strength. May opened at 7.20c, declined to
Tic, advanced to 725c, and closed at 7.22
07.Z3c, with the market steady. Heavier
receipts are predicted for this week, but
the bulls attribute this to the recent scour-
ing of the interior markets of the south,
for blocks of cotton. There is no change
in the outlook and we favor buying on all
breaks"
New York March 1.-The Sun says of
cotton: 1.-THE cotton market to-day was
feverish and irregular owing to general
realizing. The fiuctua tons in prices were
frequent, with the tendency downward,
but the undertone was firm. Early in
the day prices declined on realizing for To-
cal, southern and European account. But
there was not much pressure to sell, and
on buying for local and southern account,
prices rallied and recovered most of the
loss. Before the close however, prices
again reacted, the close being steady at a
small net decline for the day. The re-
action in Liverpool, after a firmer open
ing, was due to realizing Manchester was
active at firm prices. the Liverpool spot
sales continue on a large scale, spot mar
kets in this country were firm and fairly
active, and the receipts were moderate.
The total receipts at the ports for the
week are estimated al $4,000 bales against
S4,451 last week, and SOS53 last year The
quantity to come into sight is estimated
at 10000 bales against $4,000 last week..
