famous horned hog is dead. This hog
was certainly curiosity, freak cf ma

its fore feet that had the appearance
of goats horns. Some of the horns
were Is inches long. He had the hog on
exhibition last fall, and great number
went in to see the curiosity. He had
been keeping it in his back yard this
year, and it had got SO fat and clumsy
that it could not get about before it
died.

Return. Prom Twelfth Census.

Washington, Sept 1I.-Therc have
been enumerated by the twelfth cen
s,is to date lis cities, with something
more thnn 17.OOO.OOO OF the inhabIt
ants of the United States. or less than
n quarter OF the probable total popu.
lntIon. This count IL confined to cities
exclusively AMI the percentage of In
crease from 1900 to 1900 cannot be le
ultimately applied to the whole coun-
try. The whole Increase noted is thir
ty-one per cent, while during the de-
cnde from 1880 to 1890 1t was less than
twenty-five per cent. In 1890 the 10.
tai population OF the country was e..
B22. 80. but In that year the Indians,
Alasknns and Hawnlians were not In.
cluded. Had they been the population
would have been Increased to 63,21S,.
OOO. Counting these people In the pres
ent census will add materially to the
total. bringing It above T5,OOO.OOO.
The percentage Of increase In the
country has been less than In cltica
and 1t Ia thought the average rate Of
growth will Ike from twenty to twenty
four per cent. Figuring on twenty
two per cent. Increase, the population
will be 76.309. las. Add TO this the
Indians aud the people Of Alaska and
Hawaii md the total from the whole
country will fall little short Of So
0O0,OOO.

Green Pea Lou.e On Glover.

Growers Of peas have this year been
considerably alarmed by the preva-
lence of the green pea louise. From
Maryland and other stateo to
the east come reports OF the
ravagos of this insect. Perhaps
the worst feature of the whole
attack is the appearance OF the insect
In the fields OF red and crimson clover.
How far west the ravages extend
We do not know. but there Is little
reason to suppose that the insects will
stop their invasion before they have
touched the fields OF the middle west.
Another year is likely to see a great
extension OF the pest. and 1t would be
well for farmers everywhere to be on
guard. Little Is known Of the methods
necessary for the checking OF the pest.
The sprays have proved ineffective, as
far as tried. In pea fields the most
satisfactory way OF dealing with them
Is to go along the rows in the heat
Of the day brusing OF the lice, which
then fall between the rows and are
killed by the hot sun. But this would
not be an effective method in q clover
field or In a pea field where the pens
are sown broadcast. for the reason that
II the lice were knocked on the plants
they would simply fall into a shadier
place.

.,.. w.y = Y..sl.s Alf.if.-

N. way q ysssiss Alf>ifs.
Bullstin 81 OF the Colorado Expert
ment station gives . communicauon
from Purvis Bros. OF Las AnlmAA ~
= ~ follows:
During the summers Of 1897 and 1898
the grass was 70 good on The range
that. a. . general thing. It paid to run
sheep on the range. Indeed. unoei
these conditions Of an abundance OF
ane grass. the lambs are almost as
good ~ those pastured on ALFALFA anu
the expense is less.
We had only about q hundred sheep
on alfalfa during the summer OF 1899
They I'D quite we'll. We had them
their lambs and ten horses on TWEEN
ty-acre pasture and we could almost
have cut 1t for hay. When the lambs
were weaned the ewes were nearly fat
enough for market.
The cause of the greatest loss from
bloat is probably the necessity OF cor
railing at night ON account OF coyotes
Where this plan Is Dracticed the sheeP
should not be put into the corral IN
til almost dark and turned out IN the
morning before daylight. The sheep
generally bloat in the evening and this
is due most likely to the practice OF
leaving them in the corral too late IN
the morning. Some actually put them
In the corral at 4 o'clock in the after
noon. thinking to avoid the loss, as II
is after this time that they generally
bloat. and then leave them shut up
until after the dew is of in the morn
Ing. This makes about sixteen hours
in the corral and only eight hours on
feed, consequently the sheep do not DO
we'll.
This year, 1898, was the fourth sea-
son for us of pssturing alfalfa with
sheep. On the average we have iost
about 5 per cent with bloat. We have
the field divided into two parts anu
pasture one while We irrigate the
other. These We're old ewes and were
pastured all summer. We expect al
falfa-fed lambs to weigh about 10
pounds the first Of October.
(When on visit to the Arkansas
valley In July the present writer
learned that Purvis Bros. have their
fences coyote tight and do not have to
bother about corrallng the sheep at
night To still further lessen the dan
ger from coyotes. they had taken to
hunting them with greyhounds and
had killed seventeen so far during the
season.
To surround a whole farm with
coyote tight fence would be rather ex-
pensive. but 1t would not cost much
to fence Ave acres and drive the sheep
In there at night. thus diminishing the
danger from bloat.
