Texas Cattle Estimates.

AS against $50, 900 head of cattle fed
for the market in Texas last year, says
the St. Louis Globe Democrat, not more
than SIS, 900 will be fed this season.
This is the top notch estimate of the
railroads live stock agents, stock raisers
and feeders. Some estimates rule as
low as 25, 900, but these are generally
from feeders. The live stock agents are
perhaps the best posted, and they calcu-
late that the number Of steers will be
between 60, 900 and rs, 900. Probably,
with small punches fed on corn and
sorghum by farmers, the figures given
will be reached.
The principal trouble is the scarcity
and high price Of cotton seed. This sent
the price of meal, cak and bulls above
the point of profit to the feeder. The
Texas corn crop now being gathered il
a large one, but most Of it will go into
hogs and not cattle.
The Texans who usually feed in the
Indian Territory are in sad plight. The
drought there has prevented the steers
from getting fat, and. the feed being
short, many Of them will have to bt
carried owe to another season. About
10, 900 head are being brought back *
Texas to be fed. The Indian Territory
has a big corn crop, but the plight o.
the stockmen has sent the price VI
nearly 100 per cent. and it will hardl.
fall in time to save the feeders

West Indian Cattle.

Some Of the stockmen who have re-
Gently visited Cuba and Porto Rico
have expressed their surprise at the
large size Of the native cattle, there
having been no attempt made to i'm
prove them by the use Of bulls Of the
beef breeds. 1t must be remembered,
however, that the abundant supply Of
highly nutritious pasturage throughout
the year and the mild winters of the
West Indies permit the calf to grow to
maturity without any check. This
alone is enough to account for the
large size attained by range cattle on
those islands. The native stocks in
Texas have degenerated from taxing
the ranges too heavily and from the
ptunting effect Of winter on young
stock. With the food and climate
which the Porto Rico cattle enjoy
they ought to be large.-Live Stock.

tive prices. AS a rule, this department
Of agriculture has been left to the pro-
fessional trucker, the farmer content
ing himself with working his ground
during the spring and summer and al
lowing it to lie idle during the long
winter months, when fresh vegetables
bring the best prices. One reason fer
$his neglected opportunity is undoubt-
eddy the eNpcnsivencss Of the strictly
up to date forcing house.

The house planned and built by the
writer CIV. II. Burbank in Farm ana
Fireside) is about the simplest that can
be devised, being nothing more than
a cold frame so modified as to be easy
Of access in all weather and provided
with y small entrance house.
The house proper is 80 feet long and
about y feet wide, with side walls S
inches high. The entrance house is
II feet by S feet. with side walls >
feet high above the ground level. 1t
is evident that these dimensions would
give no head room. So the entire floor
Of the entrance house is eXcavated to
a depth Of three feet, and Il walk two
feet wide and three feet deep is dug
the whole length OF the glass house.
This leaves surface beds five feet wide
on each side OF the walk. The top soil
may be thrown on these beds and the
subsoil used for banking up the sides
Of the house. The digging should be
done before the carpentry work is
begun.
The ridgepole Of the forcing house
is made OF 2 by 5 inch stuff, placed six
feet above the middle Of the sunken
path and held in place by rafters of
the same stuff. The rafters on the
north side, as the house runs east and
west, are spaced three feet apart from
center to center. On the south side,
where the sashes are placed, they may
be the width Of the frames apart.
Even in so simple a house as this
any Of the vegetables or violets and
pansies can be successfully grown in
winter with little or no artificial heat
If no heat is used, shutters must be
made to protect the sashes during colo
nights. Two or three small oil heaters
will obviate the need Of using shut

One Thing and Another.

ton Of hops Aug. 1 was respectively

responding date last year.
When grasses are hardy, SOW in the

According to the Wisconsin station,
corn well matured and in good condi-
ton for shocking, but with leaves still
green, is the proper stage for the silo.
The belief is widespread that the
alkali flats car probably be reclaimed
by flooding the surface during a dry
season and washing off the crust. Good
authorities state, however, that thu
crust contains only a very small pro
portion of the alkali and that THU
method alone will not be sufficient t
remove the trouble.

EuttcninE HOES Early.

The most common mistake OF farmers
in feeding hogs, though much less fire.
quently made than it used to be, is to
starvo or half starve the animals
through the early summer and only be-
gin to feed heavily when cornhusking
begins, says the Boston Cultivator. The
soft nubbins are always given first, and
the pig stomach, unused to such heavy
food, is unable to digest it. with the
result that it fermcnts in the stomach,
and this causes acid to rise in the
mouth, making it sore as soon as the
corn is hard for the pis to chew.
It is often said that allowing pigs to
run in orchards and pick up sour apples
is what makes their teeth sore. It is
true that a pig which has sore mouth
and aching teeth has also generally an
acid mouth. but the sourness comes
from fermentation in the stomach, not
from something sour originally put into
it. If the apples are cooked and dry
corn is ground into meal and mixed
with them, there will be no sore mouth.
The small potatoes, refuse beets and
other roots, if cooked, and also pump.
kins, make an excellent base with which
to feed any kinds Of grains. The grair
may be cooked with the roots, and
thus softened, it will digest nearly al
well as if dried and ground. But i
must be remembered in feeding cooked
grain or meal that the grain swells 81
that it has less bulk than grain OF mea
that has not been cooked. The hogs fl
themselves with it, and as it digest
more quickly than uncooked food the,
require to be fed more frequently.

HOW 10 Hand1e a queen Bee.

Great care should be used in ham

catch a queen pick her up by the wings
or grasp her gently by the thorax with
the thumb and forefinger; there need
be no fear Of her singing, for, while
n%ature-has provided her with a sting,
she seldom, If ever, use it except upon
a rival queen. Do not attempt to catch
