The public health act of 1897 applic-
able to Scotland contains provisions
In regard to meat inspection which are
more severe than the provisions Of the
public health act of 1875 applicable to
England. The Scottish law not only
gives the local sanitary officer full con-
troll ever slaughterhouses, but also en-
powers inspectors to enter premises
within the district of the local author
ity at any time, search any cart or We
hicle or any barrow, basket, bag, or
parcel, and examine any animal, alive
or dead, or article intended for human
food. If 1t appears to him % be unfit
for human food, he may take it away
to have it dealt with by justice. The
justice may condemn it and order il

on the person to whom the condemned

or on whose premises it was found.

Soy Beans for swine.

Many farmers In Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri are using soy or sofa beans as
q forage crop for swine with great sue
cess, says the Farmer. In the dryer
portions of Kansas Kaffir corn has been
found great drouth resister and fine
crop for swine feeding. Experiments
in all directions are suggesting new
and cheaper food for pork-making, and
the farmer who wants to be up to date
must keep posted as to the new discov-
cries along the line OF cheap food for
pigs. Prof. Shaw, from some recent
experiments, Is confident that he has
variety of the soy bean that will sue
coed In the northwest. We already
know that rape will furnish an i'm
mense amount Of feed to the acre, and
rape grows anywhere in the northwest
When clover grows that is cheap
food. If the soy bean proves to be
better than clover or rape it will be
valuable acquisition as it is soil rem
ovator, like clover and peas. Prof.
Shaw will soon have something for the
public relating to the new variety OF
the Soy bean. When he gets hold Of
a good thing he does not hide 1t under
q bushel.

Both Of these are necessary for the
proper growth of flock OF sheep, but
the source Of the water Is very Inn
portant, says e. p. Smith In Michi-
gan Farmer. Water from sandstone or
slate rock IL usually pure. but water
that comes through a bed of limestone
Is very apt to cause trouble In sheep.
Most of this water will be found to
contain too much lime and magnesia.
and the sheep, by absorbing a lot of
these mineral elements, may come
down with an attack OF goitre. But II
water cannot be obtained from any
other source 1t may be partly purified
and the excess OF alkali neutralized by
exposure to the air. This can best be
done by DETECTING the course OF the
stream or brook SO that the water
Will have to filter through bed Of
sand. This filtering process Will re-
lleve the water of all organic matter,
and make 1t harmless to the animals.
Ordinarily little attention Is given to
the drinking water of the animals on
the farm, but 1t is demonstratable that
many of the common diseases which
affect them can be traced directly or
indirectly to the impurity of the water
they have been accustomed to drink.
Next to their food the drinking water
OF sheep and all farm animals Is the
most important factor in their growth
and development
In the great West the wild animals
always resort to what are called salt
ticks, which is really a salt marsh.
where the water Is not only good to
drink, but has an excellent effect other
wise In preserving the general health
OF the creatures. This habit of the
animals shows the necessity of having
good water to drink, and the natural
craving they have for salt. The crav-
Ing for salt is natural, for the system
requires certain amount of it all the
time. Special physical conditions OF
the animals will also demand that
more salt shall be taken into the sys-
tenn. Salt Is one of the elements OF
the gastric fluid by which food is d.
gested, and good digestion is impos-
sible without a sufficient supply OF
salt. An animal suffering from indi-
gestion will often require more salt to
set her right. 1t Is the lack of sum-
cient salt In the gastric fluid that some
times induces Indigestion and the true
way to remedy the trouble is to give
to the animals a larger supply. Nature
generally indicates the trouble by
stimulating an abnormal craving for
salt rt

Smut Of Corn.

To the Farmers Review: What
farmer does not know corn-smut, that
cankerous growth that appears in his
cornf1elds every summer? But what
farmer calculates the damage this dis
ease does? The disease is not con-
fined to the ears alone, but
lessons the yield Of the whole plant
thus affected This fungus does not
gain access to the plant in the same
manner as oat smut enters oats. The
spores of corn-smut terminate In the
dew upon the plants and finds entrance
to the tissues of the part In very
short time Once within, they grow
with great rapidity and often produce
the smut boils In three weeks from
the time they first enter. A few days
after these boils are produced they
break and give their seed-bodies or
spores to the wind, which carries them
to new plants.
The most economical method OF
fighting this disease is to cut OF and
burn all these smut masses before the
grey vail has broken. If taken at this
time the chance of spreading the
spores Is prevented. The operation
may be done in the early part OF the
season when the corn is being Guilt
waited, box or basket being carried
upon the cultivator to hold the growths
removed. After the crop is laid by
boy by visiting the field once week
or ten days may easily keep the disease
in hand. When eaten, the vitality OF
will therefore be well to have as little
smut in the fodder as possible. And
this remark applies to slower and en-
silage. The manure in which the
spores fall seems to assist in their
termination and to carry infection to
the field. For this reason, also, have
as little go to the stalls and feeding
pens as possible. Common opinion
says that corn-smut produces abortion
in COWS. Such. however, is not the
case, as has been proved by expert
mont with number of pregnant and
cows fed excessive doses OF
the growths. The general health and
the milk. yield were constant and reg
ular throughout the test And If an
lmals could stand these excessive doses
It II hardly likely that the quantities
obtained by COWS in ordinary cases
could be harmful The smut contains |
no ergotine nor other poisonous aka
loid. but resembles coarse folders In
The cattle treated ate it
readily and in preference to grain. 1t
seems safe. therefore, to conclude that
,attle under ordinary conditions viii
aot suffer from eating this material.

Dip tho Sheep.

There is but one effectual cure for
sheep scab and that is the use of an
efficient dip, says an exchange If the
farmer will not go to the trouble of
dipping his sheep twice at an inter-
val of from six to twelve days and
put them on clean grounds where scab-
by sheep have never been in the in
terval and after the second dipping,
that man had better sell his sheep and
quit the business. The scab can be
thoroughly cured in two weeks time II
the owner will implicitly follow direc-
lions. 1t cannot be cured in year or
any other length of time if he will not
do it. Therefore, it is simply ques-
ton with man who has scabby sheep
to dip or not. The man who keeps
scabby sheep willfully and after shear
ing time should be regarded as men
ace to good farming in his neighbor-
hood, and the public sentiment should
compel him either to dip or ship his
flock to the slaughter and quit busi-
ness. There are some diseases for
which no cure can be suggested.

There was an average difference OF 5.oz

ed varieties in favor Of the smooth.
About one-fourth of the grain was

small average yield, it being only about
