Live Stock Points.

We cannot commend too strongly to
live stock breeders the planting Of for,
age crops. If in the fall and early win
ter one has not plenty Of clover to feed
breeding ewes, the best substitute is a
mixture Of oats and field peas unthrash-
ed. They bring on the winter lamb to
perfection both before and after its
birth. The peas supply nitrogen, which
is the strong component Of clover itself
An excellent way, perhaps the best way.
to mix the peas and oats is to sow them
together in the field, two bushels of
oats and one bushel of peas to an acre.
Cut and cure like hay.
Lambs very soon learn to eat. When
you are hurrying them on fer market,
give them so soon as they begin to eat
in addition 60 their mothers milk a
mixture of cornmeal, oats and bran.
Put it in creep where the grown sheep
cannot disturb it, but where the lambs
can get it whenever they choose. It will
bring them on amazingly.
A good grain food for brood mare
with colt is mixture Of two-thirds
wheat bran and one-third ground oats.
Add two tablespoonfuls Of linseed meal
a day if the animal is constipated Tim
othy hay goes with the above grain diet
If the mare is wanted for work, give
her in addition little corn.
Hungarian grass makes an excellent
food for horses and cattle. Sheep are
also fond of it. Hungarian grass hay
may be sown early in June. It's nutri
tive value is higher than that Of tim
ethy, but not equal to clover. Cut this
grass and cure it as soon as the first
brown begins to show upon the heads.
This is important.
The most nutritious coarse food for
hcrses is clover. 1t is, however, very
bulky and horses stomach is compar-
atively small The horse fed On clover
hay must therefore have liberal supply
of oats to balance the ration, and give
him enough to eat With timothy hay
wheat bran makes a good ration mixed
with the oats.
Here is Dr.. C. D. Smead's prescrip-
tion for worms in colt: Go to the
druggist and have him put up for you
the following: Tartar emetic one-half
ounce, grannlated sugar three ounces;
mix, divide into six powders. Give one
in feed of wheat bran every morning
for six mornings an hour before any
other food is given. After the last
powder, before any food is given, give
as drench one-fourth ounce of Barba-
dos aloes and teaspoonfnl ef ginger.

Lonrhorn Disappears.

Now that Texas Longhorns are d1sap-
pearing SO rapidly and high grade
Shorthorns, Hereford and Black Scotch
cattle are so common in the southwest
as well as in the western range country,
it will not be long until the terms
ssTexas' and westerns" as applied to
cattle will lose their significance.
Already thousands Of highly bred
Texas, Arizona and New Mexico calves
are being sent to the feed lots and pas
lures Of Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska,
Iowa and Illinois before they are brand
ed, and Of course they lose their identity
completely.
The year opened with empty feed lots
and bursting corncribs, and men went
in search Of cattle to sections never be-
fore called upon by people in the corn
belt. One result Of this was the scraping
up Of large proportion Of undersized
and poorly bred animals. Another was
to make the general cattle shortage seem
much less than it really was by massing
the feedable supplies Of the country in
the corn belt. Large numbers of COWS,
heifers, oxen, bulls, stays. yearlings
and calves which ordinarily would
have been allowed to shift for them
selves were put on full corn feed. For
this reason the breeding of the cattle
marketed during the year was far below
the average, while the feeding was bet
ter than usual owing to the eheapness
and abundance Of corn, much Of which
was too soft to keep we'll and fit only
to feed.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

many strong points enabling them 10
anticipate trouble and to ward off dan
ger and difficulty.
They hayevery acute memories and
not tmuch faith In any one but their own
masters They are inclined to be re-.
served, watchf1l and Discriminating in
whom they allow about their homes in
the absence OF the master. He is to
them their all in all, their friend, their
commanding officer, whose slightest
wish must be obeyed, and it is general
II without question or hesitation or
consideration OF trouble involved. But
the dog must have kind treatment and
justice. No collie does good work for q
cruel or unjust owner, and good dog
is sign OF good man.
IN training coilies do not strike them
with the hand to correct faults, as it
mars the chief beauty Of a we'll trained
collie, in that ha should know signs by
motion of the hand. If he is chastised
BY the hand, it makes him afraid CT it.
If it is necessary to correct him, tie him
up and scold him, which, to his sensi-
tive nature, is enough. Do not hit him.
Teach all you can, keeping in mind that
you want a friend and helper, not a
half cowed cur.
It will not be ont Of place to mention
some Of the necessary points Of q good
collie Color is largely matter Of taste.
The collie should have sound, solid,
active frame, fitted to run or jump. His

be long. rather hard to the touch, with
dense, weather proof underfur. The

eyes small. sharp and piercing, with a
very cute expression, the ears erect, with
