Cows Wearing Glasses.

Cattle with spectacles are to be seen
on the Russian steppes. The steppes
are covered with snow more than six
months of the year. The COWS subsist
on the tufts of grass which crop above
the snow, and the rays of the sun on
the snow are SO dazzling as to cause
blindness. To obviate this calamity it
occurred to kind hearted man to pro-
tect the cows eyes in the same way as
those of human beings, and he manu-
featured smoke colored spectacles
which could be safely worn by cattle.
These spectacles were a great success
and are now worn by upward of 10000
head of cattle, who no longer suffer
from the snow blindness which once
caused such suffering among them

superior mixers as any breed in eX-
istence and that those which are not
superior milk and butter producers can
be very probably fed into beef.
A general description Of these cattle
is as follows: They are Of uniform red
color. The tip of the tail and udder
may be white. When crossed on other
breeds, the color is generally transmit
ted. They are hOrnless. When crossed
with horned cattle, they impart this
quality SO thoroughly that 80 per cent
Of their progeny are hOrnless.

Dairymen who practice in and in
breeding in their herds do SO to attain
quick Improvement, says Professor
Shaw. With the exercise of good judg-
ment this may be done for a time, but
it should never be long continued. The
laws of nature are against it. and so
are the laws Of heaven. The most
Skillful m0lders of breeds have been
forced to abandon such breeding after
they attained the end sought. But not
q few of them adhered to the practice
until it had brought delicacy, disease,
loss of size and loss of breeding power
into their herds and in addition various
other ills. Such breeding is chiefly
found in pure bred herds, and some
times it is continued in the hope of in
creasing the price obtained for animals
Of a certain line of blood. The men
who persistently adhere to such breed
.l| Will find themselves, like HOratius,
on the wrong side of their Tiber. The

and commons" but because of it's

Milk PrcScrX.ntiYc>

Look out for the man with the patent
milk preventative, says The American
Cultivator.
There are various agents now abroad
in the land selling "FreeZcne," NO Ice
Needed Preservative," Liquid Milk
Sweet" and several such n0strums in,
tended incidentally to keep milk from
souring and primarily to gather in the
farmers loose change.
IN all those several cases which have
been reported to the Vermont expert
ment station the chemical basis Of the
preSe.vatiye is the same. 1t is formal
dehyde fOrmalin), q powerful diSin-
fectant and germicide, but not Il desir-
able article OF diet for the human spe-
cies. 1t is not strictly and seriously
poisonous, but it is held by all the best
authorities to be harmful to the digest
i've system.
1t is the same material now largely
in use in creameries for preserving
samples of milk for testing. 1t will
certainly keep milk from souring, and
it thus enables the slovenly dairyman
to cover up many Of his worst negli-
gences. It leaves him free to enjoy the
filth of an unclean stable, to save him
self the trouble of cleaning his cans, to
be as loose and lazy and wicked as he
pleases.
This is not to say that the man who
uses Preventative, "Freezene" and
the like is necessarily that sort of a fell
low, but these chemicals do protect
him from the results of negligence and
ignorance and seem to the unpreju-
diced observer to offer the careless
milkman an undeserved salvation from
his sins.

PUMPKINS FOR COWS.
How Every Part of the Vegetable
May Be Utilized.


May Be Utilized.
Judiciously planted in the cornfield,
a crop of pumpkins can be raised as a
sort of double crop that will make
most excellent food for COWS in winter,
says a correspondent of The American
Cultivator. The value Of root crops is
well known in helping to regulate the
bowels Of the stock when fed heavily
on grain in winter. Pumpkins come
under this same class, and they should
be fed for about the same purpose.
Nature seems to have designed the
pumpkins for the cOrnfeld, for one can
raise just enough to feed with the crop
Of corn produced on the same land. In
addition to this, the pumpkins fur
nish excellent food for chickens. 1t
is better for the stock to have the
seeds removed, and il is better for the
poultry to have the seed crushed,
ground or broken. The feeding of
pumpkins will largely decide their mer
it's. To let the stock eat them in the
field is a great mistake. Gather them
all for winter food and wait until other
commence to feed the pumpkins grad
ually, increasing the quantity until the
full diet is reached. One large pump
kin or two small ones per day for each
animal is a liberal diet and sufficient
to keep the system in excellent cOndi-
ton. They should not be fed in large
pieces at all, for there is danger of the
COWS getting choked with a big lump.
Cows actually break off and loosen
their teeth trying to break up pump
kins fed to them in large pieces. 1t is
no difficult work to break the pumpkins
up and then chop them fine with a
sharp spade. Put them in wooden
the spade will reduce them to small
pieces. which the COWS can eat with
relish. When first broken open, scoop
out all of the inside part. thus remov-
ing the seeds, which sometimes prove
dangerous to the COWS. Put the seeds
and pulp in which they are buried into
a sausage grinder and grind them up
into small pieces The seeds will thus
all be crushed SO that the chickens can
eat them without danger. They will
also eat the pulp itself. This practice
is certainly recommended by the chick
ems, which enjoy the feast and look for
ward to the ground pumpkin seeds ev-
cry day. Every part OF the pumpkin is
thus utilized. and one can obtain a
winters supply OF good food for both
stock and chickens from the cOrnfeld
without much extra cost for labor.
Those who do not plant pumpkin seeds
freely in the cornield lose far more
than they realize and miss chance to
get double profit from the land.

The first importation to the United
States of Red Polled cattle was made
in 1873. Not until 1882, however did
any considerable number Of them ap-
pear on this side Of the Atlantic, says
w. A. Sargent OF Vermont in The
American Cultiyator.
The breed in this country is but little
known, and there are today many
farmers who have never seen them.
They are English cattle and q very old

We speak in relation to their being

al experience. Farmers in this section
have visited our stables and upon see
ing our Red Pollcd bull, Peter a Il,

cattle. Again, others confOund them
with the POlled Angus.

An interesting profession is that Of
Francis W. Grant, who represents the
state and regents in this building. with
the title OF superintendent of con
struction. 1t is Mr.. Grants work to
interpret the architects plans for the
contractors: to see that the operations
of one craft, as the masOns, do not in
terfere with or delay the work on an
other. as the structural iron workers.
Mr.. Grant must also watch all the ma
terial that goes into the building, to
see that the contractors do not lower
the standards in the specification in
the attempt to save a few dollars.
Some OF Mr. Grants triumphs are the
Springfield, Mass, art museum. the

more aud the reconstruction of Main
hall on the Madison campus. Mr.. Grant
is very hard worker and it is we'll

of the building. And when one re-

bring harmony out Of the mass OF
wires can be cOmprehended. The
lighting will be furnished by the Madi-

owuld probably be an economy for this
