CLOVER AND SLOWER.
Two Feeds That work Together with
Excellent Results.

II is only natural TO expect that
.armer who is progressive and eco
nomical in one department of his
work will be equally progressive in an
other. Farmers who are raising clover
are the ones who are most likely TO test
the value of shredded fodder. And well
may they, for they two work together
with excellent results. In referring to
corn fodder generally and in compare
son with other cattle foods, writer in
the Breeders Gazette says:
On every corn farm there should be
grown as many acres of clover as corn.
An average crop of corn fodder is 2h
tons per acre. An average crop of clover
hay is ia tons. Corn fodder costs in the
barn about $3.50 per ton. Clover hay
about the same. A ton of a mixture OF
slower and clover hay then costs $3.50.
Timothy hay has sold readily at the
barn for some years at ten dollars and
upward. II a ton of the clover and
stover mixed, half and half. is equal 10
a ton of timothy hay for growing colts,
cattle or sheep. the long neglected corn
stalk. mixed with the hay of our reno
waiting crop. becomes very valuable
article. Experiments which we have
not space to repeat have shown that one
ton of slower and clover. half and half.
will produce as much growth on steers
as one ton of timothy hay. As timothy
sells for ten dollars per ton at our barn
then the ton of slower and clover is
worth ten dollars. or four times as much
as it costs us in the barn. II timothy is
worth ten dollars ton to feed steers
the mixture of stover and clover must
be worth the same. But the fact is
timothy is not worth that amount for
feeding steers. since we have as good a
feed for growth that can be produced
for half that timothy will sell for. Corr
slower then has so much value that we
cannot afford 10 feed timothy hay and
let the cornstalks 60 to waste.

Cure for Dy.entcry in Fowls.

The disease among fowls known as
dysentary is individual in its work. and
does not spread. The sick fowl be-
comes droopy, stands about with head
and tail lowered. and passes a dark.
greenish and yellow discharge. very
thin and wntery. Treatment of this
disease is al first camphorated spirits
that Ia. camphor dissolved in whisky.
Take teaspoonful and put IL in half
a rlassful of water and give the sick fowl
tablespoonful every four hours. The
second day dissolve a little sulphate Of
copper (blue stone about the size of .
bullet in n quart of water. and LET the
sick fowl drink all il will. During
treatment feed soft food seasoned with
a little red pepper. A cure is generally
effected in three days with this treat

At state institute held in Column
aus, o., "a paper was read by ii. l.. Nil
lcr, in which ne said.
There Is q limited period in the life
Of animals for growth. Every factor
in the problem of producing mutton.
points toward earlier marketing. To
paraphrasc a familiar expression, il il
the early lamb that gets the prize. An
eight-week lamb, il in condition
and in season. commands the highest
price per pound ever attainable.
very narrow limit of time az this
period and the height of the tide in
prices passes. A lamb net meeting the
requirements Of the market at that
period must pass on into a cheaper
class. not TO find sale until another
season opens which calls fer lamb
three or five months old, but at a lesa
price per pound.
The lambs sold at four months old
do not. as rule, bring as much as
those sold at two months old. If. again,
the age is doubled or tripled the mar
ket into which they must go is such
that i'm spite of their gain in size they
will bring little if any more per head
than al either of the former prices.
This may be continued until we have
the sheep at its maximum weight, and
the price per head does not vary greatly.
"There is an impressive lesson in
this that has not found general appli'
cation in the growing Of mutton. The
lesson is not, however, that all mutton
should be marketed in the form OF
eight-weeks-old lambs. Not all the
sheep-raisers are rightly situated re.
speeding market or equipped in skill
or stable accommodations for produc-
ing this class of mutton. But this
teaching is of general application. that
the younger sheep can be marketed
when grown under the most economic
al conditions for meeting certain mar
ket for choice form the larger will bs
the profit. To illustrate again by my
neighbours hogs: He feeds them along
through one winter, past June mar
let, and he says that II were to raise

tional Agricultural society has ar
ranged prize competition among pow

encourage and develop the application
Of electric power to the working OF
plows and other agricultural impe-
ments. In the trials non-electrical
plows will also be tested, SO that com
parison may be made of the relative
efficiency of the different systems.
Only plows will be tested, as il is con.
sidered that the power could easily DC
applied to other implements with but
slight alterations. Special attention
will be paid to the conveyance OF the
outfits from field to field. One prize Of
1900 marks and another of 1000 marks
will be given for the best pillow driven
by any kind of power, and there will
be special prize for the best electrical

piece Of light land will be assigned for

be given for % the time taken for the

Draughts Of air in the stable which
come from above are dangerous to the
health Of the stock. Some farmers carry
the matter Of ventilation too far and
keep a large opening in the stable to
let in fresh air. The fact is that in cold
weather it will be found more difficult
to keep fresh air out than may be sup
posed. Stables are not usually plas-

pherc is such ms to force the air through

that tunnels through the fruit instead
of burrowing into the core like the cod
ling moth, says Texas Farm and
Ranch. Quarantine papers were i'm
mediately served, and the apples were
subsequently destroyed by fire on va
cant lot close to the steamer. The ac-
count states that there has never been
anything seen like 1t before, and no ac-
count can be found recorded OF such a
pest. Photographs were made showing
its meanderings under the skin of the
fruit. The fact that such a pest has
been permitted to even land upon our

antine officer, Craw, also destroyed a
number of cherry trees on their arrival
from Japan, infested with small new
scab (aspidiotus albopunctatus). This
