First winter For CoI,s.

The best methods for carrying colts
and calves through the first winter,
says a correspondent of the Iowa
Homestead, are, in my opinion, first,
they should be fed regularly on some
nutritious food. such as thrashed oats
or some kind of ground feed. They
should also have access to some kind
of rough feed, such as hay, oats. straw
or corn fodder, and should have plenty
of water and should be well protected
from the storms of winter. | don't be-
Ieve young stock should be kept too
closely confined. They should be al
lowed to run out in the daytime, where
they will have chance to exercise and
also to get the sunshine, both of which
are very essential The present prices
Of cattle and the increasing demand
for good horses will not justify negli-
gence in carrying them through the
first winter. We think there is more
profit on the animal that is well cared
for and kept in growing condition the
year round than on the one that is neg
lected, for the latter will be very poor
and weak in the spring and will re-
quire some time to gain what it has
lost through the winter. while the other
has made a good growth and almost
doubled in value.

STORY OF TIE YAzoo FRAUD
One of the Most Gigantic Trusts Ever
known In America.


One of the Most Gigantic Trusts Ever
known In America.
One of the most gigantic trusts ever
formed on this continent was in the
early days of the republic. back in
1895. Several gentlemen organized
themselves into u company for tlia pur-
pose of purchasing from the state OF
Georgia her unclaimed westeIa terri
tory. extending from the Mississippi
on the west TO the Atlantic on the east
and from the thirty first degree of lati-
tude north of the equator on the south
to the southern boundary of Tennessee
on the north, including what now con
stitutes the territory of Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi This vast ter
ritory was purchased for $50O,000 and
this was the commencement of the fa-
nous ''lazoo fraud" about which SO
much was said and written.
The bill authorizing the purchase
and sale passed the Georgia legislature
on Jan 8, 1T95, and il is said that
members were paid all the way from
eight negroes to 100000 acres of land
to vote for it. Corruption by bribery
was open. Great Indignation spread
throughout the state. and upon tie as
sembling of the legislature one year
later an act was passed declaring that
the said resurped act was null and
void; that the records relating TO the
same be burned in order that no trace
of so unconstitutional, vile and fraudu-
lent a transaction should remain pub
lic

This is the first and only instance in
the history of the country where a leg

the destruction by fire of its previous
records of corrupt and obnoxious
laws"-St. Paul Globe.

Farmers and rheir Herd.

For the farmer who understands the
art of successful breeding there is no
more fascinating nor more profitable
way to farm than to extend his herds
and fioeks and make them as valuable
as possible, says The American Guilt
vator. 1t does not require the laborious
manual toll demanded in growing.

liable stock may die and become a to-
tai loss. But so, too, may crops entire.

frosts, thus often destroying in night

stock farmer keeps a due proportion OF
his money invested in such small stock

as characteristic. even though scarcely
any other white Is seen.
The interest shown by breeders and
owners is remarkable from the fact
that ten years ago there were only a
few Guernsey cattle In the United
States. In 1888 the Rev. G. e. Gordon
of Koshkonons exhibited a part of his
herd at the Minnesota state fair. and
the cattle were greatly admired at that
time because of their peculiar orange
color with white markings. their intel
ligence and docility and their decided
dairy type. The similarity of the Jer-
seys shows common origin. The buff
nose where the Jersey is black and the
deep orange about the eyes show that
the two breeds. although they have the
same foundation blood, have diverged
in minor but noticeable points.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Generally the first Matched chickens OF
the brood fatten fastest.
Cocks are not necessary unless the eggs
are wanted for Matching.
Milk fed to poultry viii give better re-
turns than when fed to pigs.
Dampness and drafts ruin more fowls
and breed more disease than everything
else combined.
Charcoal fed literally in small Jumps
brightens the combs and acts as a tonic.
That from corn and corncobs is best.
Care should be taken when the fowls
are confined in stormy weather to keep
their food and water fresh and clean.
Milk put into their drink vessels or
given with cornmeal scalded in a stiff
mass is not only relshed by the hens. but
is egg producing.
Young and old fowls need enough nutri
tious food to keep them in good, thrifty
condition and to increase size as rapidly
as possible and to supply egg materials.
With young fowls especially the rapid
growth of body. bone and feathers is a
great drain. To supply these and push
the bird along plenty Of nutritious food
must be suppied.-St. Louis Republic.

SIIage Crops.

The reports concerning sweet corn
for silage are quite conflicting. says
Hoard's Dairyman Some say that 1t
has tendency to make a very sour ST.
lage, and others claim that it is as I'M
Objectionable in this respect as any.
If we had the sweet corn growing, we
would not hesitate to put 1t in silage,
but we would not plant it especially
for this purpose; neither would we
plant Kaffir corn for silage when the
ordinary maize grows to perfection.
Kaffir corn is especially adapted for
semiarid climates because of its
drought resisting capacity. We are not
aware that teosinte has ever been tried
IN the silo. but alfalfa has been. and
successfully so. especially in California.

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist.

There is disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it-heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result OF kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to adj
vance the kidney poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness Of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
