Aluminium Horseshoes.

Russian military authorities have for
some time past made an effort to en-
ploy aluminium in place of iron. copper
and steel for articles Of equipment car
ried by infantry in order to reduce the
weight as much as possible. With the
same object the Russian minister of
war has ordered aluminium horseshoes
for the cavalry. The first trial is be-
ing made by the Finland dragons,
and the horses are shod as follows: A
shoe Of the new aluminium model is
placed on one foot, the three remaining
shoes being Of the kind now in use.
The trial so far has been satisfactory,
for the aluminium wears out less rapid
y and is lHss affected by mud and
moisture than the ordinary shoe. The
difference in weight is about 21a ounces
on each shoe. The cost is not greater
than at present and will be less as soon
as the system of manufacturing the
new shoe has been perfected

News md Notes,

In commenting upon the complaints
Of consumers that sweet corn on the
ear as found in city markets is entirely
devoid of sweetness and flavor, al
though it seems fresh and juicy. The
Rural New Yorker says that no other
farm product loses flavor more rapidly
after gathering than green corn, and if
it could be sold more promptly to the
consumer we should hear no more COM
plants of it's deteriorated quality.
In Canadian experiment burning
drilling in the seed gave a better result
than drilling the seed on burned or un-
burned stubble or on disked unburned
stubble.
In answer to the question whether
manure, where sawdust has been used
for bedding, is injurious to soil, Amer
lean Gardening has obtained the opin-
ion of such good authorities as Pro-
fessors Day Of Ontario, Canada; Clin-
ton Of Cornell university, Voorhees, Of
New Jersey, Fields Of Oklahoma and
DR.. II. NJ. Wiley Of Washington, from
all of which it appears that, upon the
whole. there is no valid objection to
the use Of sawdust. Professor Day
thinks an excessive amount on light
land might possibly injure the texture
Of the soil.
1t is said that in oil regions where
roads have been oiled by leakage or
otherwise, they are firm and dustless.
The estimate Of expense Of oil for road
Improvement, according to govern
ment civil engineer, Is not to exceed
$141.50 per mile, one barrel being
enough for so feet of roadway IL feet
wide. 1t is reported that an expert
ment in this line is to be made by the
department Of agriculture in commune
tion with the local authorities of Des
Moines ON country roads connected with
that city. Everybody, whether skepti-
cal or confident in the project, will
await the outcome with interest

HIGHER PRICES FOR BEEF.
VIII the Future Supply Keep Up
With the DemandS


Butchers all over the country are adj
vancing the prices Of beef, and conse-
quently there is complaint on the part
of customers. Some thoughtless res
taurant proprietors sought to excuse
their advance Of the price Of steaks by
printing on the bill of fare that it was
due to the squeeze" by the "beef
trust" says the Breeders Gazette.
The daily papers caught up the cry,
but investigation soon led them to see
that it is the farmer rather than the
packer who is putting on the screws"
The prices Of cattle on the hoof made
plain the situation. AS a matter Of
fact, the advance on cut meats was
slow in coming. Cattle sold higher in
February than in July, when the ad-
vance was made on the block, but the
reluctance of butchers to increase their
price is explained in the trade papers
as due to the keen competition between
cutters of meats in large cities and the
difficulty in agreeing on a raise.
LIZ uSuIeS Oh Dcel
steers make interesting reading. The
average price on the Chicago market
during July of last year was $4.95.
During the month just past the aver
age price was 5000. This is gain of
60 cents per 100 pounds over the val
ues Of last year. But when we consid-
err the fact that the average price for
| T,1lyy no oct
| we can appreciate the material adj
vance registered in an average Of $5.5
| for the 80 days just past, a gain of 10
cents per 100 pounds over the average
for a score of years. Little wonder it
is that butchers feel obliged to mark
I up the value on some Of their cuts.
| Journals Of the meat trade are vigor-
ously urging an advance all along the
line, maintaining that prices to the con-
sumner have been held down to basis
that left little margin for profit and
that self preservation demands that
more money be taken into the till over
the block. The position seems sound.
With the general increase of CONNER
cial activities and the advances in
wages that have been recorded during
the past u months, the people are fair
ly well prepared for an advance in
prices of meats from the hard times
basis.
1t is interesting to note that while
some attention has been given to the
prophecy of statistician in the grain
trade that in 80 years the world will
not be able to raise enough wheat to
feed it's inhabitants, it has seemingly
been taken for granted that the sup
ply Of beef would keep pace with the
increasing demands. That this has
not been the case is thoroughly known
to those who keep in touch with the
industry. Nothing is more memorable
than the unrestricted operation Of the
law Of supply and demand, and grow
ers and eaters Of beef are now begin
ming to feel the force Of it.

Cover CrOns.

Where heterogeneous fertilizer is not
desired, rye is good cover crop. 1t is
also useful on very light, sandy soils
and on very hard, lumpy soils, where
other crops are not easily grown. A
few years of rye may improve such
soils sufficiently to permit the use Of
other crops. Turnips have been recon-
mended for use on hard, dry In
where other crops do not start ren,
Rape may serve useful purpose Il, -.
cover crop. Corn sown thickly ~ to =
months before frost is said to make y
good winter cover for orchards, though
quickly killed by cold weather. Buck
wheat is good for the same purpose, if
sown SO as to reach it's full height, but
not to produce seed before winter.
Among other plants Of more or less
value as cover crops are oats, wheat.
barley, millet and spurry.

Cattle For Feeding.

Mr.. McLain Smith believes that "the
injury to the cattle interest in Ohio
and adjoining states through the gen
eral use of Jersey bulls some 20 years
ago, and since, is almost incalculable."
He adds, st is almost impossible now
to buy a bunch of good feeding steers
grown in Ohio l do not doubt that
the Jerseys and Guernseys are without
rivals in limited sections Of our state,
but the general Introduction of Jersey
blood into the three fourth of our state
considerable degree has worked injury
to Ohio farming. AS MI. Smith says,
there are few home grown steers for
feeding. The small feeder is the one
most hurt. Formerly he could pick up 4
few calves right at home, and the
coarse feed and some grain of the farm
were converted into beef. Now they are
sold off the farm because he cannot
get half dozen or more good feeders
without going to q city market for
them. While haven't stock farm,
formerly bought dozen or more steers
for winter stall feeding in order that
the extra feeding stuff might be fed on
the farm, but quit the business be-
cause one could not get a dozen good
feeders together without paying price
for culling out what was wanted that
Knocked out all the profit. There are
many farms that should have a few
calves for grazing and few steers for
stall feeding, so that all fodder, roots
and cheap grain could be utilized and
the supply Of manure increased, but
the Jersey has made this impossible.
