Longhorn Disappears.

Now that Texas Longhorns are disap-
pearing so rapidly and high grade
Shorthorns, Hereford and Black Scotch
cattle are so common in the southwest
as we'll as in the western range country,
it will not be long until the terms
Texas 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 understood
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 cheapness
and abundance of corn, much OF which
was too soft to keep well and tt only
to feed. Chicago Inter Ocean,

Dairy Commissioner Boardman was
in favor of process" butter for max
ing a more palatable article where the
creamery was not yet introduced, but
not in favor of using deceptive brands
for it. He unreservedly urged the intro
duction of farm separators in gathered
cream localities so as to save the 20 per
cent of butter fat lost by the gravity
process and regretted that when an en-
thusiastie individual started out to test
the merits of the farm separator system

was blocked by the intrusion of rival

Cause of Bad Odors In Butter.

Ny experience would lead me to hunt
the cause, making sure that there is no
decaying matter from which the milk
could absorb the odor. / would look to
the cement floor, if there is one. / once

and never knew the cause. The bottom

The walls and ceiling were well white
washed. / felt sure nothing lurked
there. If it went on, I knew it must
spoil good butter trade. Thinking it
might be the floor, which had been laid
only few months, down l went on my
hands and knees hunting that peculiar
odor. At about the height of milk pan
l noticed it slightly. right down on the
floor it was more preceptible, yet not
SO much as in pan of milk. Had the
milk attracted that odor and absorbing

explain what species of bacteria was
killed by the lime. Can some one ex-
plain?
At another time it was found by set
ting the milk in separate pans that one
COW spoiled the milk of seven others.
This COW was a full blood Jersey of a
noted butter herd and considered a good
one. The cream was thick and yellow,
but the skimmilk looked like water
with a small amount of indigo and
skimmilk mixed in. The taste was
worse than the smell. That COW was
given a long leave of absence. Have

Cereal Exports.

A report of the department of agri-
culture states that cereals that were ex-
ported in greatly increased quantities
during the past year to meet foreign de-
ficiences were oats and barley. Ship
menGs of oats were made to the extent
of 35, 096, 1856 bushels, valued at So,
1862 as compared with 1902, 500
bushels, valued at So, 1851, in the
year preceding, while the exports of
barley during the same period increased
from 1850, 331 bushels to 20, 030, SOL
bushels in quantity, and from 49, 100, :
S11 to $7,646, 384 in value The ex-
ports of rye, while much less important,
also show a notable gain, having adj
vanced from 98S, 466 bushels, valued at
$445, 075. for 1896 to s, $50, 271 bushels,
valued at So, 667, sos for 1897. Prior to
last year our shipments of buckwheat
were not large enough to be considered
worthy of separate mention in the Off

many strong points, enabling them to
anticipate trouble and to ward off dam
ger and difficulty.
They have very acute memories and
not much faith in any one but their own
masters. They are inclined to be re-
served, watohful 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
ly without question or hesitation or
consideration of trouble involved. But
the dog must have kind treatment and
justice. No collie does good work for a
cruel or unjust owner, and a good dog
is sign Of good man.
In training collies do not strike them
with the hand to correct faults, as it
mars the chief beauty of we'll trained
collie, in that he should know signs by
motion of the hand. If he is chastised
by the hand, it makes him afraid of it.
If it is necessary to correct him, tie him
up and scold him, which, to his sensi-

It will not be out of place to mention
some of the necessary points of good

The collie should have sound, solid,

be long, rather hard to the touch, with
dense, weather proof underfur The
hair or brush and the frill around the
neck should be long and well developed,
the head long, narrow, fiat on top, the
eyes small, sharp and piercing, with a
very cute expression, the ears erect, with
the lops falling forward, and as small

1t is important to know that the fruit
rot of the melons is the same as the
bean pod spot-drst, for the treatment
that has proved effective in the one
case will be quite likely to check the
disease in the other; secondly, it may
be wise not to follow melons with beans
or vice versa when the first crop has
been quite badly infested. In other
words while the two crops are very diff
ferent it may be well for the trucker to
so plan his system of rotation as to not
have two crops come in succession that
are victims to the same enemy. The
writer has sometimes noticed cucum-
bers badly anthracnosed that were
growing upon land previously in beans
and which were ruined by the pod
spot As remedy there is nothing
known that is better than bordeaux
mixture. -B. D. Halsted in American

THE BEST SEED CORN.
One Cause of Poor Quality In Seed Corn
Selecting Seed From the Bin.

One Cause of Poor Quality In Seed Corn.
Selecting Seed From the Bin.
That the success or failure of the
corn crop is every year much more
largely dependent on the seed planted
than on any other one factor is affirmed
by The American Cultivator. which ex-
presses the following opinions in regard
to the best seed corn
Last year was not reckoned a good
one for corn over a large part of the
country. 1t has been found that in ev-
cry year of general corn failure is apt
to be followed by a second year of at
least partial failure on account of the
poor quality of seed corn, which the de-
ficient crop always produces. This is
more noticeable i'll the western states,
where the slow maturing Dent varieties
of corn are mostly grown. Dent, or
horse tooth corn. is slow to dry out, even
when its seed is matured It's seed is
apt to be still quite damp when the
freezing of winter opens the cells in the
germ of the grain and diminishes, if it
does not entirely destroy, it's vitality.
The Flint varieties of corn ripen earlier,
and as the grains are also much smaller,
they can dry out thoroughly before
freezing weather sets in.
Where Dent corn is grown in the east
farmers understand that its large ears
and thick cob take a long time to dry
out, SO they give it extra care. and this
corn here with such treatment is as sure
to grow as any. We grew western
Dent corn several years in northern
state, and never found a season when
any of it failed to grow.
The best time to cut corn for seed is
as soon after all it's grain has glazed as
possible. All that the root will give to
the stalk or grain has then been stored
in one or the other. If cut from the
root, the stalk will furnish the starch
to the ear quite as we'll as if it still
was on the root, and there is no danger
that an early frost will injure the leaves
and stalks, and thereby injure the grain.
After few days standing on the stalk
in stocks the ears may be stripped off
and hung up by the husks to dry. The
warmer the air up to 100 degrees that
these partly husked ears are exposed to
the better and quicker the seed grain
will dry out. There is nothing better
than fruit evaporators for this purpose,
run at a temperature of 100 to 1870 de-
grees and exposed to a free current of
mir.
So far as possible seed corn should be
used which has been subjected to some
of this treatment. Avoid corn that was
left in the field until winter, and there
exposed to much cold and wet. If you
are obliged to take seed corn from bin,
take some part where it has been dri-
est, and where the ears have not been
exposed to rains or to be covered by
SHOWS Even if well dried out, seed corn
when exposed to wet will absorb enough
to injure the seed if severe freezing
comes afterward.
