DIGGING the Cows.

In a drive through a leading dairy
section recently in the Elgin district,
just at milking time in the evening.
We were surprised to see that about
everyone kept dog to help drive the
cattle up from pasture, says Indiana
Farmer. Nearly all these dogs mani
tested about the same propensity to
make themselves useful in keeping
close to the heels Of the cows with
result that the cows would take to run.

the lively trot of some of the animate
seemed to have afforded the boys some
amusement, as the dogs were not call
ed away until the whole herd was
about getting into a run. This over
exertion just before milking could have
but one effect, in diminishing tho
quantity of milk, and thus create quite
a loss to the pockets of the owners.

emily no other consideration than to
get the cows into the barnyard or sta.
BILE and get through milking as soon
as possible. 1t never for a moment
occurred to the milkmen that they
we're diminishing the supply by suCA
haste, and the owner probably never
figured on the expense attendant on
keeping a dog in the herd While we
had no means of knowing, the chances
are that these people do not subscribe
for any farm paper to think it neces-
sary to keep posted outside the ex-
perience they may have acquired in
the business. The dog may have his
uses around farm, but as adjuncts
to the profitable management of q
dairy they are detriment and should

Alfalfa In the Dairy Ration.

C. H. Sessions, in an address to the
California dairymen, as reported in the
Pacific Rural Press, said:
Chemists tell US that a balanced ra-
ton for a 1,O0O-pound cow should con-
sist of "a pounds organic matter, 2h
pounds protein, 12k pounds carbohy-
drates and pounds fat, or ratio Of
1854. In alfalfa hay, according to
Jaffa, we have ratio Of 1888, or with
an excess of protein, which is an ad-
vantage, as it takes the place of bran.
oilcake meal and cottonseed meal. To
bring the ratio up to the standard, we
can feed any of the other foods mem
toned which may be in season, and the
cheapest to obtain. At present we are
feeding 20 pounds alfalfa hay. pounds
oat hay and 30 pounds green corn fod-
der, with good results. This makes
q ratio of LAS. This gives US an ex-
cess of protein, but as it is produced
with cheap feeds it may be cheaper
than to try to balance it with more
concentrated food, such as cornmeal
or barley. We have fed all the feeds
in combinations Of two or three varie-
ties at a time with far more profit
than by buying and feeding corn. We
sometimes feed corn when it can be
had at a reasonable price. We grind
corn and cob together, which, with
alfalfa, gives the best of results.
Alfalfa and Bran.-Some Of our
diarymen feed alfalfa and bran. and
claim good results. but think IL the
same money was paid for corn or
feed meal instead Of bran they would
get still better results. Alfalfa hay
and bran produces an excess of pro-
TEN, and although that excess Is con-
verted into carbohydrates 1t is done
% at a greater expense than by feeding
carbonaceous foods. 1t will not require
70 much food to produce the necessary
sarbohvdrates

If a prepared dip is used that does not

add about 16h pounds Of sifted flow
ers of sulphur to every 100 gallons
Of water. especially If, after dipping,
the sheep have to be returned to the

Defective Vision In Horses.


It may be that to the casual observer
the eyes look all right, but "tAe man
in the street" would probably see very
little wrong with the optics Of the suf-
ferer from myopia when without mis-
spectacles, and there are no anatom-
ical reasons why short sight. slow
sight and other defects Of vision should
not exist in horses as well as in men,
says Farm and Home Eng). II we
have q bad shyer that is in other re-
spects quiet and tractable, I think 1t
is very often defective sight that is
responsible for the twice." although
examination by the naked-eye test,
aided by hat, may fail to reveal any
defect of the lens in the shape Of
cataract. Some have affirmed that the
corporae nigrae are cause of shying.
It may be explained that the corporae
nigrae are little black pigmentary
globular bodies belonging to the uvea
or posterior lining of the iris and
attached to It's margin, to which they
form a kind of fringe. Three or four
hang down from the upper border Of
the iris, and one or two are usually
attached to the lower margin as we'll.
Their use appears to be to modify and
absorb the rays of light entering the
eye, and some have considered them
to partly supply the want of eyebrows
in the horse, while others think them
auxiliaries to the iris. AS all horses
eyes are furnished with corpOrae nj
grae, and all horses do not shy, it is
absurd to regard them as cause, as
some have seriously affirmed who fail
ed to appreciate their functions, and
that they are natural to the horse, but
when very large they may interfere
with vision. Professor Mcqueen says:
II know it has been disputed whether
large corporae interfere with vision.
Very seldom have I been able to sat
isfy myself that these large pigmentary
masses affect the sight, and for some
time I have treated large corporae very
lightly, but am prepared, having re-
gard to this class of animal, to cOnsid-
er this shying horse, in which, after
careful and repeated examination, the
only defect discoverable was large
double mass of pigment hanging from
the upper margin of the pupil. The
pigment divided the opening Of the
pupil into three parts, and l have no
doubt but that in this case the sight
was imperfect" Opacities of the cor
nea, in the form of dots, lines or
specks, may be difficult to detect, yet
sufficient to cause shying, in fast
working animals, but it is defects of
the lens that are generally associated
with the inconvenient trick of dash
ing away from an object on which the
animal comes suddenly. Cataract of
any size may be detected easily
enough by the "black hat" and candle
fame tests in a darkened stable, but
it will not do to assume perfection
of vision because these tests yield
negative results. Modern experience,
and the application of catoptrics to
examinations Of the equine eye, has
demonstrated that other defects of
vision exist besides palpable cataracts,
and no doubt remains but that they
are a cause of Shying.

A great deal Of the profit of weaving
calves, whether grown by hand or
nursed by their dams, will depend very
much on the kind of care they receive
between this time and the 10th of May,
says Wallace's Farmer. We do not
care how good their breeding may be
or how well they may be fed as year,
lings or finished for the market, they
will not realize their full promise and
possibilities unless they ere properly
cared for the first winter. We noticed
in our recent range over the prairies
of Texas on the Gulf coast that the pigs
from the razor-back. semi-wild hogs
of that region, were quite respectable
so long as they were sucking the dam.
We noticed also that the calves on the
range were quite respectable in form
and size before weaving time, and only
after weaving did either pigs or calves
take on that roughness of form which
characterizes the first as q razor-back
and the second as q long horned Texan.

In closing write-up in the current
number of the New England Maya
zine concerning the development of gas
fields in lola and vicinity, Chas F.
Scott says: kansas has been so long
and so generally regarded as purely
agricultural state that reports of her
mineral wealth have received slow
credence. It has been hard to force
belief that fat. prairie state should
have immense coal areas, should have
inexhaustive deposits of lead, should
have the richest zinc mines in the
world, and should have hundreds of
square miles Of pure salt beds. Never
has been hard likewise to force belief
that this same fat, prairie state has
developed perhaps the largest and best
natural gas territory in the world.
And yet that also is true"

lace county, where the country gives
the best kind of a chance for prairie
fire to cover-a lot of territory, says
that the fires are destroying big lot
