Sunday TRADING.

A German shopkeeper went one Sum
day morning to customer in order to
demand the payment of a long-neg-
lected account. The police heard of
this, and regarded it as violation of
the new law against trading during the
hours of worship. The offender was
cited and fined. He appealed to the
kammergericht. and was discharged as
innocent. What the law expressly for
bids, said the kammergericht, is any
public or open labor or trading with
in the prescribed time" On the police
Interpretation, two men who talked in
cidentally about their business rela-
tons on Sunday morning on their way
to church might be arrested as violators
of the law, which would be palpably
tyrannical and absurd. This recalls

farmers who hit upon a casuistical
method of doing trade on the Lords

HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Furnish the swine plenty of good
dry bedding.
Don't send diseased hogs to market
1t is of no use.
Feeding ground grain is more eco
nomical than feeding whole grain.
Remember that if hogs bunch to-
gether they should be routed out.
Don't let the horses stand in hot ma
nure, unless you expect scratches
Ice cold water taken into the stomach
of any animal retards its digestion.
When colt is we'll broke it is worth
twice as much as one that is no, we'll
broken.
When the hog is fat, sell it. Don't
waste good grain in waiting for bet
ter market.
Shred your corn fodder. It is econom-
ical as the animal will eat the whole
stock and save hay.
Don't permit the horse to stuff itself
with hay all day. 1t Injuries the horse
and wastes the hay.
Rash the fattening process as rapidly
as possible for fattening animal is al
ways in danger of disease.
II you are near town it is probably
the better plan to take the hogs to the
town butcher for slaughter.
Farmers themselves could do good
deal toward increasing the consumption
Of, corn by making larger use of it for
food.

THE CORN KERNEL.
Its Chemistry Explained in a Buile.

pertinent Station.

Bulletin SO Of the Illinois Expert
ment station treats of the chemistry of
the corn kernel. In part it says:
By mechanical means the corn kernel
has been separated into four different
parts. These may be designated (see
cut) as a, the coat, or hull, of the ker-
mel; b, the hard glutenous layer I'M
derneath the hull much thicker at the
sides than at the crown; c, the chit, or
germ, and d, the starchy matter con-
stituting the chief body of the kernel.
The germ is about ~ per cent. of the
kernel, but it contains nearly twice as
much mineral matter and three or four
times as much oil as all of the rest of
the kernel. The germ is also rich in
protein, but the chief part of that con-
stituent is contained in the glutenous
layer. The hulls and starchy portion
of the kernel consists largely of car

Ice in Watering Troueh.,

Wherever stock is watered from
troughs in cold weather there should
be plug fixed at the lower end of the
trough so that with it's removal all the
water can be drawn off every night.
1t is far better, however, to water stock
in winter in ponds where the ice will re-
main frozen all winter, only cutting the
fresh ice that has formed over night
at the watering places. The water under
the ice in deep pond is kept warmer
by the icy covering, and is generally
at the surface under the ice several de-
grees below freezing. If the watering
trough is allowed to fill with ice it will
keep the water very near the freezing
temperature. A running brook where
the ice may not freeze at all has water
much colder than it is under the ice
in pond.-American Cultivator.

PASSING OF THE OK.
of the Quickened Life of
the Country.

notwithstanding the ubiquity of the
bicycle and the tardy development of
the automobile, there is no evidence
that the horse is losing ground in our
social and domestic economy, says the
Boston Transcript. On the contrary.
there has been an increase of about 40
per cent. in horsefesh since 1912. and of
about IL per cent. in the number of
mules, while that dear, quaint and
faithful servant of man, the patient OK,
has barely held his own in the last 16
years. This is perhaps one of the in
evitable results of the quickened life
of the country. His star is in the de-
scendant. While the country may be
congratulated upon the increased push
which demands greater speed and
power in our modern activities. a sigh
of regret will nevertheless follow the
vanishing OK just as it did the old stage
coach when the locomotive forced it
off the road. The gradual passing
away of the OK as a beast of burden has
the pathos that attaches to the eXtinc-
ton of one of the early families. They
came into the country together, and
together they took pioneer part in its
development. They felled and drew off
the trees, they tore up the stumps, they
scanned and mellowed the rooty soil,
making it richly responsive to the
needs of man. They pulled out the
great stones that fretted the faces of
nature and made garden spots of the

factor of every enterprise. He was
on the farm, at the wharf and the mill,
and when in those early days of ex-
pensive and adventurous ideas the old
places seemed too contracted for the
settler he bundled his family into
prairie schooner, while his faithful
oxen dragged the ponderous vain
six months journey toward the setting
sun, accomplishing distance which we
may now be whirled between the twi-
light and dawn, browsing ,cheerily as
they wendell their toilsome way along,
and boarding themselves when the
time for nightly camping arrived. But
the old fellow has had his day except
where the conditions are still primi
tive. Once he was the steady reliance
of every farmer, but now one hardly
sees yoke in the harvest field or the
pillow lot. His pace cannot be read
justed to the quick step of modernideas
and inventions, and utilitarianism has
no use for the poetic or the pictur-
esque. More and more his destination
is coming to be the shambles. This
makes life shorter and we might say
merrier, but merriment in an OK is in
conceivable.

Make and keep from one season to an

Keep the upper ends of the poles from

In the manufacture of starch or glu-
cose sugar from corn these different
parts are separated much more per-
fectly than it is possible to do by hand.
The by-products, hulls, 'gluten,'' and
germs, separate or mixed, are sold as
food stuffs under such names as "gluten

Frozen Stock i'm Market.

There is some complaint that the
large amount of frozen stock reduces
prices. If the other side is considered
it will show that by free freezing the
chicks in the fall, when prices are low,
better sales are made through the win
ter; hence, what may be loss to some
is gain to others. Taken on the VIII ole,
the refrigerators have increased the
markets for poultry by creating large
demand for late chicks. Frozen poultry
cannot compete with that which is
choice and fresh, however. It comes on
the market and sells because there is
nothing to compete with it, and the sup
ply is usually exhausted by the time
spring broilers are ready-Farm and

How to Measure Cattle.

The following has been given as a
rule of some value in determining the
weight when actual weighing is incon-
venient, but in all the rules given the
weight will vary widely with animals
of the same girth: "Cattle girthing
five feet ordinarily weigh from $50 to
$50 pounds, according to form and fat
ness; for each additional inch in girth
add 25 pounds up to six feet, and for
each inch after six feet add so pounds ~
says T. Y. Adams in the Market Basket.
This is the simplest rule known, and is
probably as good as any, but the only
test that is at all reliable il that of the
scales.
