them Quieter and they will average sew
eral pounds more in weight than II left
in the natural state. Lambs that have
been castrated and kept for wool pro-
ductiOn are much easier to shear than
those left in a natural state. They are
more dOcile and shearing is performed
in much less time.
There has been considerable COntrO-
Versy over the proper age at which cas-
trating should be done, but undoubtedly
the best time is as soon as the lamb Is
able to stand well on his feet, which Is
usually when he is three or four days
old. At that age the organs are imper-
fectly developed and there is very little
blood in the parts. The operation may
be quickly and easily performed by TAX
ing a pair of strong sheep shears and
with a quick motion cutting the entire
scrOtum off near the belly. II the lamb
is left until four weeks or older before
the operation is done it will not do to
sever the entire sCrotum, and then the
operation Is not only painful to the an
imal but one requiring considerable skill
in its performance to prevent the loss of
the lamb. The method as given Is sim
pie, absolutely safe and, If performed
at the early age recommended, almost
painless.

Care of Young PIGS.

If young pigs have the right kind of
exercise and the right kind of food
there is no danger of Overfeeding. A
small quantity of corn ground with
wheat or rye and middlings, and the
whole mixed with milk, is a first-class
food for young pigs. The common field
varieties of peas are also excellent food
for pigs, young or old. Sow at the rate
of two bushels per acre and cover about
four inches deep, sowing after the peas
are planted three pecks Of oats per acre,
we'll narrowed in, to serve as support
for the peas.
The food for pigs Of all ages when not
being fatted should be that which has
bulk. Middlings, milk, ground barley
and swill for pigs, and for shoats and
breeding stock feed in addition beets or
other roots cooked and mixed with cut
clover hay. For young pigs, ground oats
with the hulls sifted out is an excellent
food. Have part of the feeding pen so
arranged that portion of the grain food
may be scattered over it broadcast to
give the pigs exercise in feeding it. A
run Of liberal dimensions should be pro-
vided for young pigs IL they are kept in
confinement, in order to get the amount
or growth from the feed given to be
profitable, otherwise liberal feeding will
only result in an excess of fat before the
formation of the desired amount OF bone
and muscle.

Profitable Cows.

Some COWS are profitable and some are
profitless. Many farmers do not know
whether their cows are profitable or not.
The creamerles are educators in this re-
gard because they test the cows and
teach the farmers to weed out those
which are Improbable. Mr.. H. B. Cur
ler of Illinois, who Is a successful dairy
man and the author of a book on butter
making uses the following emphatic
language upon this subject:
What sense is there in keeping cows
when we know there Is no profit in it
or might say what sense is there in one
not knowing what cows pay us a profit
and which cows do not pay profit? No
other business in this country would
stand the lack of intelligent work that
our dairies do. l believe there Is more
need Of intelligence in dairying than in
any other line Of farm work. There Is
no point in which there Is not an equal
need Of intelligence; and when 1t comes
to the point Of figuring the profit, or OF
studying to increase the profit, there is
more room than in any other place in the
whole line of agriculture. Why more
dairymen do not improve these OppOr
tunities to help themselves, | am at a
loss to understand. No manufacturer
could withstand the competition he has
to contend with IL he left unimprOVed
opportunities, like most dairymen are
doing, in not testing their cows and
knowing what each cow is doing for
them. Did you ever think OF the farmer
l.. L., l. l.,
crops, in which work there is use for
great practical knowledge and skill?
Next, as manufacturer, as he Is when
he employs his farm animals to manu-
facture his coarse fodder and grain into
milk, beef, pork, ETC., and with the dairy
he manufactures, as he does in some
cases, his milk into butter and cheese.
Next, as a salesman, as he must be, when
he sells these products of the farm. 1t
seems plain to me that the successful
dairyman of the future must be the
brightest, brainiest man of the whole
list. He must be a master of details.
wish to impress upon you the compare
tive profit of cows that make $50 pounds
of butter annually and those that make
more. The $50 pound cows leave fifty
pounds for profit and the 800 pound COWS
leave 100 pounds for profit or twice as
much as the $50 pound COW, and she
is worth twice as much--yes she is worth
more than that. If properly bred she
will bear calves that will make 300 pound
cows or better. We certainly should
weed out the cows that are getting us
in debt, after which we should and would
continue to weed out until we get a
profitable dairy.

Splicing a Board.

FATAL STREET ENCOUNTER.
One Dead and Two wounded In a Bat
tie at Texarl<ana.


Texarkana, Ark, March T. The
fiercest street battle ever witnessed in
Texarkana occurred yesterday after
noon. Five men were engaged in the
desperate fight, one Of whom was killed
outright. another mortally wounded,
and third seriously injured, while the
other two are in hiding and the extent
of their wounds is not known. The
casualties:
Vinson Graviano, dead, shot through
the heart; s. Graviano MORALLY wound
ed, shot through the breast, shoulder,
arms and leg; Pete Darrigo, seriously
wounded In the groin and leg.
The tragedy occurred in that portion
of the city known as Swampoodle. and
all the participants were BARRIERS. A.
Gingotta and his son-inlaw, Mike
Canela, were disputing in front of
Antonio Columbus saloon, and were
about to come to blows when the Crawl
ano brothers attempted to stop the ar
gument. Gingotta and Canela then
turned upon the Gravianos, and both
sides drew revolvers. More than 80
shots were fired. The man who was
killed began shooting as he approached
Gingotta, who f1oOred him with a blow
from his pistol and fired the fatal shot
a dozen bullets at S. Graviano, half of
which took effect. GingOtta and Canela
are still at large.

Maine Survivors Relief and the Army
Ihcrsase Bills in the Mouss.
Z Washington. March 7,-It Is probable
that both the bill for the relief Of the
survivors and the victims of the Maine
disaster and the senate bill creating
two additional regiments Of artillery
with which to man the coast defensea
will pass the house this week. The
former bill was held UP until 1t could
be investigated, as 1t was said that the
special bill for the relief Of the sur
vivors and victims Of the Samoan
wreck In 1888 led to some scandal That
bill was loosely drawn, and 1t has been
asserted some advantage Of its pro-
visions We're taken. The present bill
has been carefully drawn, and is one
of the committee on appropriations.
Practically all opposition to the ar
tillery bill has not disappeared In the
house. The leaders were. it is said, in
favor of delaying action upon 1t to
allay public alarm, which might have
been intensified had 1t been rushed
through the house as 1t was through
the senate. Beyond action on these
two measures the house program this
week, so far as Is now anticipated, is
entirely peaceful and has no reference
to possible foreign complications.
The senate will begin the week with
the construction of the bill making ap-
preparations for the District Of Column
bia, and when this is completed take up
the conference report on the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill. 1t Is considered quite probable
that the District bill will consume two
or three days, or even more. One of the
questions in this bill which may arouse
debate is the action of the senate COM
mittee on appropriations in striking
out the item in the bill as 1t came from
the house limiting telephone charges in
the district. There will be an effort
made to restore this provision.
