OUR FARMERS.
CATTLE HUSBANDRY.
Prof. Thomas Shaw of TIE MINES

Prof. Thomas Shaw of the Minneso-
ia experiment station says when ami
mails are first put in the feed lot, If
food is rushed into them they may
take it, but they will not give an ad
equate return. Armsby has shown
this plainly in his book on feeding,
and experience has again and again
confirmed the correctness Of his view.
The animal system must first be
brought into condition for fattening
rapidly, and this can be done only by
feeding a moderate amount Of grain
at the first. Cattle that have been
getting grain before being removed
from the pasture are in a better con-
dition for being pushed rapidly, and
therefore for being finished more
quickly than animals put into the feed
lot when lean, and without any such
preparation in the line Of grain feed
ing. Ordinarily several weeks should
transpire before they are put on full
allowance of grain. 1t may Ee that in
some instances feeding animals the
amount of corn named will pay better
than slower and more prolonged feed
ing. IF SO, it will be when corn is
very cheap and labor is very dear.
But ordinarily it will, am satisfied,
be better to feed more slowly and to
be content with less rapid gains.
Herein is a grand field for expert
ment. I am now working on one side
of it but not on both, for want Of room
at our university farm. We have
foundthat in five months feeding, or
in period somewhat less, that ami
mails will reach good finish on an
average of eleven pounds of meal per
day, with other adjuncts. But they
will not gain more than, say, two
pounds per head per day. By the
other system about twenty two
pounds of meal will be fed per day to
the cattle beast regardless of that con-
sumed by the pig. In the first in
stance the animal will want $50 days
to make good finish, whereas in the
latter instance he will make it in 80 to
100 days if in good condition on the
start. But no lean cattle beast can
be properly finished on 80 days feed
ing whatsoever the food may be that
is fed.

The habit of running over the land
with the slightest possible cultivation
which was SO generally practiced in
the Northwest during the pioneer
days of unlimited prairie sod, will
have to give place to different soil
treatment. 1t is hard to abandon old
and established habits Farmers
cling with surprising persistence to
large fields on which cultivation is
hurriedlyand mperfec5iy dol o, and
as the soil loses it's fertility ard the
weeds gain possession the returns are
reduced to less than cost of even this
imperfect culture. The time has come
when it is absolutely necessary to in
troduce a more intense treatment of
the soil by the cultivation ,of smaller
tracts of crops, while a large part of
the farm should be devoted to grass,
ensilage, forestry, etc. Or if the
farmer does not wish to go into the
dairy or stock raising business, it will
be better for him to sell half his land
and try to cultivate the other half in
a way that will give salts factory re-
suits. The idea of small farms thor
oughly titled is the true one, and the
common belief that such cultivation
is fancy scientific fad of kid gloved
professors is entirely erroneous. An
acre of land thoroughly cultivated
will yield as much profit as ten acres
which are skinned over in a wild
rush to handle 80 or 100 acres with
means that should not attempt more
than 20 acres.

Told All He Knew.
Express,

Prosecuting Attorney - Mr.. Parks,
state, if you please, whether you have
ever known the defendant to follow
any profession.
Witness-He's been q professor ever
since I knew him.
Professor of what?''
ga professor of religion
"You don't understand me. Mr..
Parks. What does he do?''
"Generally whatever he pleases. -
''Tell the jury, Mr.. Parks, what the
defendant follows
'fGentlemen of the jury, the defend
ant follows the crowd when they go to
drink
'fThis kind of prevarication, Mr..
Parks, will not do here. Now state
what the defendant does to support him
self
81 saw him last night support him
self against lamppost.
"That's all, Mr.. Parks.
Cross examined: s'Mr. Parks, I IN
derstand you to say that the defendant
is a professor of religion. Does his prac-
tice correspond with his profession?''
81 never heard of any correspondence
passing between them
"You said something about his pro-
pensity for drinking. Does he drink
hard?"
"No, think he drinks as easy as
any man ever saw"
"You can take your seat, Mr.. Parks. -
And Mr.. Parks took his seat with the
air of man who had made a clean
breast of it and told all he knew of the
subject in hand. Chicago Post.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurab1e. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to be a
constit utional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney q Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, Is the only constitutional cure
on the market. 1t is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts di-
rectIy on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for circu-
lars and testimonials. Address,

again. and that ali he had to do was to
say, .Cudgel. lay about you, for every
one to run away from him and leave
him in peace and quiet
Uncle Curro took the road home with
his cudgel, as proud as an alcalde with
his wand of office, and the moment he
saw his children coming toward him,
asking him for something to eat with
insulting and abusive words, as they
were accustomed to see their mother do,
he said to his cudgel, ''Cudgel lay about
you'll No sooner had he pronounced the
words than the cudgel began to shower
blows to right and left among the chill
dren until they had scarcely whole
bone left in their bodies. His wife ran
to her children's assistance. cat her,
cudgel," said Uncle Curro; eat her,
and with a will" And the cudgel be-
labored the wife so numerically that
she died of her injuries.
The authorities being notified, the
alcalde, accompanied by his officers,
presented himself upon the scene.
"CudgeI, lay about you'll said Uncle
Curro, as soon as they appeared, and
the cudgel proceeded to deal such lusty
blows among them that every blow was
worth dollar, SO that the alcalde was
killed and the officers took to their
heels and were out of sight in a trice.
A messenger was sent to the king to
inform him of what was going on, and
the king sent regiment of grenadiers
to seize Uncle Curro and his cudgel.
No sooner did Uncle Curro see them
approach than, throwing the cudgel
among their ranks, he cried, "Cudgel,
lay about you'll And the cudgel straight
way began to dance upon the ribs Of
the grenadiers, making noise like the
clapper of a mill. One it left lame,
another with disabled arm, and the
captain it left blind Of an eye. To make
an end of the business the grenadiers
all threw their guns and knapsacks on
the ground and ran off, heller SHELTER,
as if they thought the devil had broken
loose and was running after them.
With his mind at rest, Uncle Curro
lay down to take a nap, hiding his
oudgel in his breast lest it should be
stolen from him during his sleep. When
he awoke, he found himself bound hand
and foot and on his way to prison,
where, on his arrival, he was sentenced
to the ignominious death of the gar
rOte.
On the following morning he was
taken from his cell and led out to exc
cution. On the scaffold his hands were
unbound, whereupon he took out his
cudgel, and saying, "Cudgel, lay about
you,'' he threw it at the executioner,
who was quickly beaten by it to death.
''Set that man Free said the king,
cor he will not leave me subject
alive. Tell him that will give him a
province in America on condition that
he shall leave the country" And thus
it was done. The king gave him a prov
ince in the island of Cuba, where be
built city, and there he killed SO many
people with his cudgel that from that
day to this it has been called Matanzas
(the Spanish for slaughter). Buffalo

Battledoor and Shuttlecock In Japan

Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett tells of the
sports and pastimes of boys and girls in
her article on 'sThe Little Japanese at
Home in ST. Nicholas Miss Hodnett
says:
Playing ball and battledoor and shut
tlecock, as we'll as kite flying, belong
especially to the first of the year. The
balls for little girls are made of cotton
cord covered with strands of bright col
ored silk, and the children become very
skillful in making these balls them
selves. Sometimes the ball is merely
bounced by the child as she kneels be-
fore it. Sometimes she stands and,
striking it to the ground, whirls quickly
around in time to strike it again as it
rises. Battledoor and shuttlecock is
played in the streets not only by girls
in twos and threes and in circles, but
also by whole family. Father, mother.
sisters and brothers all join in the
game, knocking the shuttlecock from
one to another, and if one fails to hit it
In time to keep it from the ground all
the other players rush to give that one
light blow with the bat. Sometimes
the punishment for failure is having a
circle drawn round the eyes or the face
otherwise marked. The bat is of wood,
with one side plain, the other orna
mented with the picture of some well
known character of history or romance
or of singing girl. The shuttlecook
consists of small, round centerpiece,
painted or gilded, stuck round with
feathers. as petals are ranged round the
center of flower.

We are 20 tired, my heart and ],
OF all things here beneath the sky.
One only thing wotld please us best
Endless, unfathomable rest
We ere 50 tired. We ask no more
Than just to slip out by life's door
And leave behind the noisy rout
And everlasting turn about.
Once it seemed well to run on too
With her irnportunate fevered crew
And snatch amid the frantic strife
Sonic morsel from the board of life.
But we are tired. At life's crude hands
We ask no gift she understands,
But kneel to him she hates to crave
The absolution of the grave.
