Bone P~hosphoric Acid.-Bone, once
held in high repute, seems to have
been misjudged in some particulars.
The phosphoric acid OF bone, accord
ing to many recent Investigations,
seems to have little more value than
that of certain finely ground mineral
phosphates. At the Rhode Island sta
ton bone and unacidulated mineral
phosphates have given excellent re-
suits with grass. Upon unlimed acid
soil a part of their good effect is at
tributable to the lime and to the SOL

phate itself.

Regions Favorable to Goat Raising.
The climatic condition and food sup
ply of a large part of our mountainous
country are admirably adapted to An
CORA ranges, and there is not a sta.e
in the union, East or West, in Which
they cannot be grown to good advan-
tage. Notwithstanding the inbreed-
ing, cross-breeding and inability to get
fresh blood, American ranchmen have
improved the stock they had to work
with just as they improved the orig
inal Merino sheep, and believe it gives
them the material to do with, and they
will in time produce a better animal,
larger and finer, than the original
stock with nearly 5000 years of history
behind 1t.

Preserving Stamina in Live stock.

By stamina we mean health, vigor,
constitution, vitality, endurance, get
there" In improved breeding there is
always danger of decreasing vitality,
says Wallace'S Farmer. We can push
development along any line about so
far when weakness of constitution fol-
lows, and the usefulness of the animal
Is imperiled. We can, for example,
push butter and milk production to a
wonderful extent, but the death rate
among cow that give the phenomenal
yields is astonishing. The constitution
cannot stand this tremendous pressure.
and milk fever or tuberculosis takes
off the queens of the dairy. The COW
can be pushed to 300 or 400 pounds of
butter per year, provided she is we'll
fed and kept in a well-ventilated barn,
but the danger line lies very near that
high point.
We can make phenomenal gains or
hogs and can hide their skeletons in
a mass of flesh, but If this forcing
process is continued either on the male
or female line, impotency and small
litters of weaklings are very liable to
follow. The change from the native
hog to the high-bred animal of any Of
the improved breeds is a radical one,
INC it is not possible to push pork
production to the utmost without de-
creasing the vitality and stamina of
the animal. There is a limit to human
endeavor in this direction, and nature
says stop" The same is true of
sheep, and in fact of all other classes
of live stock; less perhaps with the
horse than any other because the horse
is used hard for service in the field
or on the road, and work means
abundant exercise and the preserva-
ton of stamina and vitality.

eminent testing grounds at Indian Head.
Mr.. Daffield says it is of common occur

and that at times they come flying through

the farm.
The Government has offered to buy 400
acres of the farm land at $50 per acre.
but Mr. Daffield says that he cannot afford
TO cut up his property as proposed by the
Government as this would endanger the
value OF the woodland which covers an
area of 800 acres. MIR Dafiieid says that
he was offered $50. 900 for the entire prop
erty eight years ago.
