Scarcity Of cavalry Hor.,..

The Salt Lake Tribune says" There
is a great scarcity of the cavalry type
of horses" says Veterinary Surgeon
John Tempany, of the Ninth cavalry,
at the Cullen yesterday, because of
the great draft by the United States
and other governments, made in the
last two years. In Wyoming, for in
stance, our government gathered in all
the desirable, high standard horses,
and then the English army officers
came along and picked UP 600 others,
for the Englishmen are content to put
up with lower grade of animal than
the American army authorities There
are no more cavalry horses in Nevada,
and the market generally is bare and
will be for some time. Prices are stiff,
and our government was paying S1O0
to SIPS for the grade of animal re-
quired; but the demand for the Phil
ippines is falling off with the return
of quieter times there, and the war in
South Africa is over, so there is not
much call now for horses for army
purposes, and general prices are going
down."

body solved the mystery. The only
person who could have done so was
Master Julius Carey, who had listened
at the door during the whole colloquy,
and who took particularly good care
that no one should suspect his share
in the confusion of letters and en-
velopes!
But Mrs. Pry got back her boarder,
and, to the end Of time, Miss Adela
Forester always insisted that she had
received an offer of marriage from Ma
jor Midgefeld.

Looking After the Pastures.

The agricultural department Of the
national government is looking after
the question of pastures more closely
than ever before. Some of the work
it has been doing during the past few
years is bound to be far reaching in
it's effects, not only on the ranges of
the far west but also on the pasture
lands of the more eastern sections of
the country. There is no subject, that,
it seems to the writer. has been more
neglected or that will pay better pay
for thought, investigation and exp 60
ment. The pastures of the Amey
farm are badly handled and aim Saa3SsAs
ways neglected.
The formation of most of our pas
lures has been hit-or-miss affair,
governed largely by accident. Some of
the best arabic land on the farm is
generally found IN pasture land and
that has never been disturbed since
the forest was cleared away in the
old days. We are just now waking up
to the fact that in the pastures are
great possibilities. We have been sat
isfied to have a good many acres sup
port single COW; we are coming now
to consider how the yield of pasture
grass MAJ be increased to enable a
COW to be supported on as few acres as
possible. AS an index of the progress
being made we recall a question that
was last week put to ii. B. Gurler at
the dairymen's meeting at Aurora,
Illinois: How many COWS do you sup
port per acre?" The answer was that
he had not yet reached the point where
he could talk of it as being 80 many
COWS per acre." but that it was yet
so many acres to the cow" but he
was progressing in the direction of the
inquiry.
The care of pastures may we'll con-
Germ the department of agriculture.
There is no doubt that the poor care
given our pastures results in immense
losses to American farmers yearly.
There are hundreds of millions of
acres of pasture land that are yielding
results only from the upper few
inches of soil, with foot of soil be-
low whose richness is untapped. This
is due to the fact that so little care is
given the pastures that they are al
ways kept short and the roots of the
grasses are prevented from striking
downward.
The attention being given the varie-
ties of grasses to be grown should in
augurate nS17 era. The one or two
grasses that are now so popular must
be supplanted by a great number of
grasses maturing at different periods
throughout the summer. There are
some additional features that must be
considered, such as method in grazing,
rest and fertilization.

Value of Kansas Liv. Stock

The compilation of Kansas assess
ors' returns, showing the value, at
home or en- the farm, of animals
slaughtered or sold for slaughter and
Ihe poultry and eggs marketed in the
year ending March 1, just completed
by Secretary F. D. Coburn, of the state
board of agriculture, evidences that
Kansas not only is we'll forward but
continues to rapidly advance in the
rank of meat-producing states.
The value returned for animals
slaughtered or sold for that purpose in
the year named is $54,321 1888, or III
per cent greater than in 1899, and the
largest value in the history Of the
state. In 1896 the value was S36 1892, O57,
since when there has been a hand
some increase each year, aggregating
a total gain of s17,729,S31, or 4S.5 per
cent.
The value of poultry and eggs mar
keted within the year was 5000. 1892,
gain over 1899 of 1913 per cent, and
likewise the largest value ever report
ed for the state. There has been an
increase annually in the value of poul-
try and eggs marketed since 1895, and
the total gain made during the five
years is 52.65 per cent, or 1926,
the largest increase being 1900.
The combined values of animals
slaughtered or SOLD for slaughter and
of poultry and eggs sold in the year
is $59,382,220, ard for the five years

Horticulture, Observations.

1t is noticeable fact that the in
duence of horticultural conventions is
on the increase. This is perhaps large
ly due to the advance being made in
horticultural education at our agricul-
tural colleges. The colleges are an
nually turning out students and are
also every year supplying more pro-
fessors as speakers at such meetings.
In the last few years a distinct Inn
provement has been noticeable in the
quality of the papers presented. This
condition should be recognized by the
great mass Of farmers and the conven-
lions should be more freely attended.
The Improvement in travelling facili-
ties makes this possible.
For years there has been keen con-
troversy between the men that favored
keeping pear orchards in sod and those
that favored keeping them in a state
Of high cultivation. The on-lookers
have been of the opinion that it did
not make much difference SO far as
the blight was concerned whether the
orchards were in SOD or not. Now,
however, the Maryland Agricultural
College has come out with a circular
stating that at that Institution 1t is
considered proved that pear orchards
that have become affected with blight
should be got into sod as soon as pos.
sible; that high cultivation and fer

Two Food. That XIII Pigs.

The Indiana State Board of Agricul-
ture, in report, says:
Wheat and Barley Beard. It not
frequently happens that after hogs
have been turned upon wheat and bar
ley stubble that some will die. The
symptoms which the pigs will present
are quite variable. In some cases it
will be an intensely sore mouth, in
others it will be those Of general bowel
disturbance, and in third it will be
those of loud and difficult breathing.
The writer has post-mortemed many
such cases and found accumulations OF
boards in the mouth, stomach, or
windpipe. A roll of boards may form
and get down by the side or at the root
OF the tongue and penetrate the
mucous membrance. The animal can
not get rid of them; the parts become
intensely swollen and inflamed, inter
fering with eating, and starvation Will
occur. Plugs of the boards may lodge
at any point between the larynx ana
bronchi, producing loud, distressing
breathing and coughing. The forepSn
body can not be removed and dean
takes place from suffocation. In tns
stomach the boards may puncture TIE
walls. The injury may be so slight
as to cause only mild Inflammation
and interference with the appetite for
short time. until the boards become
softened and pass on, or the inflamma-
ton may be SO severe as to cause
death. The trouble is one that is not
amenable to treatment except in those
cases in which the beard Is in the
mouth.
Effects of Cookie Burrs Numerous
articles have appeared in the swine
breeders journals and agricultural pa
pe1s indicating that young cockle-
burrs were poisonous to hogs and
calves. While the cockle-burr is young
and only three to four inches high 1t
is very fleshy and tender, and relished
by stock. The claims of poisoning OF
stock attracted sufficient attention that
the Indiana Experiment station made
a chemical examination and feeding
test to determine the poisonous prop

OF the burrs, were fed to calves, pigs,
rabbits and guinea pigs. They were
allowed all they would eat In no
case was any untoward effect noticed.
We have been called upon to post-mor-
ten some animals claimed to have died
from such poisoning, and in all cases
death was due to burrs. A few burrs
would be swallowed with the young
plants, and their horny prickles
would irritate the stomach wall and
cause Inflammation, which finally
terminated in death. In three cases
the burrs lodged in the throat and
could not be expelled.

Hor.es Rsmemhar.

That horses remember their racing
days is evidenced by the performance
Of Rachel B., 2:2S11, by Allie West, at
the Meadowlands farm one day last
fall. After she had weaned her first
colt by Wood Boy, it was decided to
turn her out in the infield of the farm
track. 1t was expected that the old
mare would cross the track to the tract
of clover in the infield, but instead she
went to this stand, took the outside of
the track and logged around it tire,

Her Valentine.

By John Leighton Best.
Still winter stars are shining,
Still winter sunsets glow,
And still the brooks repining j,
In crystal confines flow.
But somewhere in the starlight
The vernal beams are met,
And somewhere in the far light
The hope of spring is set.
From winter gloom the glory
OF springtime shall unfold,
The marvellous, sweet story.
The ever new and old;
What time the heart of maid,
What time the heart Of lover,
What time the heart of maid,
Turn lightly to each other,
And happy vows are paid.
And must still be only
The beggar at your gate,
To lie forgotten. lonely,
And vainly for you wait?
Will you not send some token $
This longing heart to cheer.
Now winters spell Is broken,
" Now springtime's grace is near;
So hear me now confessing
: The love you long have known,
mat with each days REFRESHING
Hath only stronger grown,
And speed the message duly,
That one sweet word Of thine.
That you will now be truly,
Ny own dear Valentine.

Valenf,ne's Day.


Valentines day was established in
England, Scotland and France about
the fifteenth century Its observance
was very popular among the upper
classes and at many European courts.
On st. Valentines eve spinsters and
bachelors were accustomed to meet in
a social way, write upon bits of paper
the names of number of spinsters
and bachelors of their acquaintance,
throw them into basket, and then
draw them out one at time care be-
ing exercised that each should draw
one of the opposite sex, the person
thus drawn being the drawers valen-
tine. The festival was introduced into
America at an early day, but its OBJ
servance has since undergone material
change, and is annually becoming less
and less generally, at present being
almost wholly limited to friends ex-
changing anonymous communications
with each other, the same being made
in verse or verses referring to va
riety of topics, the subject being also
illustrated by cuts of an amusing or
sentimental character.
