ne IlTSt OBJECT then OF a gOOu
farmer was to raise enough grain
meat, etc, to support his family
and farm. This included enough
grain to feed all his stock.
Farmers then raised their own
horses, mules, cattle, hogs, etc.
] never knew my father to buy
a horse Or COW, sheep or hog.
He usually had such things for
sale. This aim then of farmers
was to keep from spending
money by producing at home
what thcy needed, and having
something to sell after this, SO
that what they sold would be so
much clear gain.
Well, one says. "Where wa
any profit, or gain in that"
Suppose man could sell horse
a year, and a COW, and two bales
of cotton, and fifty bushe OF
corn, and 25 bushels of wheat.
That would amount to about
$3.50 a year almost clear gain.
He paid no fertilizer bills
then, bought no stock, no food
of any kind. His clothing was
made at home But few doctor
bills were paid then. l never
knew a doctor to visit my fath>
ers while | remained with him.
Perhaps SIS would pay Mis-
grocery bill annually.
At present a majority Of farm
ers pursue that business to make
money. They plant all the crop
they we'll can to make money,
such as cotton, tobacco, etc.
They buy corn, meat, -four,
clothing, horses, mules, fertili>
zers, etc, because it is cheaper
to buy these things than it is to
produce them-they say. But it
requires all the money their
crops of cotton, t)baCco. ETC.,
sill for to pay for what they
have to buy, and they not only
fail to make any money clear,
but live very poorly or scanti.y.
So that all the young men that
can are seeking some other oc>
cupation than farming, because
it has fallen into such bad repute
tnst it does not pay to farm.
Fifty years ago a large major
ity Of the farmers were free from
debt, and owned their own farms

pressure being relieved, the gas
escaped, leaving precipitation Of

became solid white substance
which is known as mari. This

great quantities of clay artiticially

Donate of lime and require the ad-
dition of clay also, before cement
can be produced from any of them.
But the Colorado deposit, as it
stands, only needs to be subjected
to the various mechanical processes
in order to get grade of Port
land cement which tests higher
than any imported article that has
ever been placed on the market in
this country,
The amount of material in sight
at this point is SO immense that it
would be sufficient to supply the
world with cement for many
thousands of years to come. In
fact it is practically inexhaustible.
Before locating the factory at this
place Anon Moore, the company's
local manager, and practical
cement man of extensive exper-
fence, in company with Wan. f.
Geddis, of Denver, spent nine
months IN examining and testing
the many so called cement deposits
throughout the West and says that
this is the only perfect one which
could be found, and that it is
probably the only one in the state
that comes up to the requirements
sufficiently to justify the erection
of factory. 1t was upon the
strength of his representations that
the company was organized. Sew
eral attempts have heretofore been
made at various points in Colorado
to manufacture cement, but owing
to inferior deposits Of material and
inadequate machinery, they have
all been failures This company,
however, has spent over 100000

nhould stimulate their appetites, but il
should be seen that the animals are
not exposed too much to inclement
weather. In very cold months a good
deal OF our food is sometimes required
simply to make animal heat. An ex-
cess Of this waste of heat to keep the
bodies warm is a great loss in the end.
The amount of actual food required to
keep tee pigs growing rapidly depends
to a degree upon the protection the
animals receive. Turn them loose in
the cold pens in all kinds of rough
weather without good sleeping pens
and warm bedding, and they will re-
vuire fully twenty per ent o food
just to keep up to the normal standard
OF growth Give them more protection,
warm bedding and money will be saved
in food. A quick and steady growth
with the least amount of food determ.

FHE DAIRY
SANITARY COWS AND STABLES

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
One cannot be too careful in keeping
the COWS and stables of a dairy clean,
and therefore sanitary in every re
spect. Some COWS, like pigs, seem
born with a love for filth, and others
have a streak Of daintiness in them
which make them avoid dirt Of all
kind. There is a good deal in training
the dairy animals to keep clean. 1t ls
very much ike bringing a child up in
the right habits of cleanliness. 1t be-
comes a second nature to him to prefer
clean to dirty places TO lie down in. A
little care exercised in the same way
with young COWS will soon make them
more careful. They will choose the
cleanest instead of the dirtiest place in
the yard to rest in.
The health Of the COWS is somewhat
dependent upon their cleanliness. II
che skin is matted with filth and dirt
the animal is sure to suffer. For a
clear, healthy action of the vital organs
an open skin is essential. TIE action
of the air is helping the animal to
throw eff foul matter is far greater
than we suppose. Halt the value Of a
oath is the exposure of the skin of the
body for a short time to the air. 1t we
close uO the holes in the skin with flsh
or dirt we prevent nature from per
forming her requisite work. There are
some who sc>f as the idea Of this hav-
ing much Effect upon the health of tie
animal, but the fact is clearly demon
stable. Not only this, but il can be
shown by actual experiment that the
DrofiE of the COWS is materially effected
by their relative cleanliness. Where
there ia a healthy action of the blood
there Is sure to be a good flow of milk.
Any thing that ~inter.eres with the Fl ct
is sure to check the second. Cows kept
clean and self respecting are pretty
sure to be in a better physical condi
ton to give a better yield of milk and
cream.
Sanitary sta bles are thus more essen
tiaI in winter than in summer, Most
of US think only of protecting the AMI
mails from the cold; but disease is a
prime factor in the animals winter life

the best in return7 1t is a matter of

LICE ON ANIMALS.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
These wingless insects are found
parasitic on ell animals. Cattle are
unfortunate IN being the most common
victims Of business. Sheep are rarely
affected. We meet with this disease
most frequently during the winter
months, IN neglected, half starved,
dirty animals. Young animals are
especially liable to be infected. Some
times, however, even well kept cattle
suffer severely.
So called lice are either true lice
(HaemR O0inus) or bird lice (Cricho
d~ectes). The former have a slender.
often spiadle shaped body, a pointed
head, graylsh blue color, and suck
blood. The Trichodectes are broader,
have a squareish head, brown color.
and have biting mouth parts, living on
hair and epidermsI scales. Tricho-
dectes are usually found on neglected,
unthritty animals with long, shaggy
hair and a dirty, scaIy skin. They

IN the other hand, occur also on thrifty
animals.
Every species of domestic animal
has It's own specific louise, or lice
(horse louise, OK lice two kinds, pig
louise, goat louise, dog louise, etc., and
Trichode ctes Of the horse, OK, sheep
and dog. The louise of one species Of

SYMPTOMS Lice always givs rise to
a Troublesome itching, causirg the ami

portions of the body. The hair is

skin becomes inhamed, scaly, and even
covered with extensive eruptions ana

Lice seem to prefer the region of the
neck aud name, the back, root of tail
and, In cattle, the base Of the horns, in
pigs the region between the hind legs
The presence Of lice and their nits at

regarding the nature of the trouble.

TREATMENT. There r many RENE
dies for destroying lice, g. g., arsenic,
mercurial ointment, heIlebore, tobacco
decoctions, the seeds Of Delphinium
sraphysagria (~stavesacre). creolin, car
bo}ic acid, lysol, train or fish oil, II
The following are of special merit:
1. Mercurial ointment, diluted with
a little oil, ia very eff Give or horses

titles to the efsc,ed parts only. It
must not be used en- cattle.
2 A tobacco decoction (lne pound
tobacco and three gallons boiling water,
allow to stand for half an hour with
or without the addition of two pints of
vinegar, is very effective; but often
produces nausea in horses and cattle.
8 Eve per cent. solutions Ohree tee
spoontuls to a pin) of creolin or lysol,
in water containing 20 per cent. Of
alcohol, well rubbed in with a stiff
brush, is very eff 3ctive.
4. The remedy which has given the
most satisfactory result to the writer
is kerosene emulsion, n ade as follows:
Kerosene, two gallons; common or
whale oil soap, one quarter pound;
water, one gallon. Heat the solution
OF soap and add it boiling hot* to the
kerosene; then churn the mix ure for
ten micutes. Dilute the emulsion with
twenty gallons Of water ard apply
with a spray pump. II no spray pump
is at hard, drive the animals, if many
are to be treated, into a narrow chute
and apply the emulsion with a common
watering can, being careful to treat all
parts of the body.
Select a mild, sunshiny day for the
operation. In the course of four daye
or a week repeat the application in
order to destroy those lice that have,
in the meantime, emerged from the
Mrs. Where the animals have been
kept in stables or pens do not neglect
to give these PLACES the same treat
menf; they are just as lousy as the
animals, and if not treated they will
s1on reinfeot the animals. Finally,
avoid conditions favorable to future in
fecgions, by giving animals proper care
and keeping them in a vigorous,
thrifty condition. For long haired
animals (calves). shearing might be
recommended. Weak, run down ami
mails. may require special nursing to
recover completely from an attack OF
lousiness.
