BARN SWALLOWS.

A colony of barn swallows pre-empt-
ed the caves on the north side of a big
barn. and the owner of the barn, not
being Il lover of birds, kept long pole
ready to tear down the swallows nests
as fast as they could build them. The
effort of these birds to build and rear
their young under such discouraging
conditions was almost pathetic. Day
after day the nest would be laid up i'll
wonderful bird masonry. only to be
wrecked after this old codger had fin
ished milking his COWS in the evening.
Whether he broke them up and drove
had been our barn they could have
made their bone there in peace.

ANGORA COATS.

We have heretofore referred to the
Angora goat and its great value for
subduing brush and timbered lands.
We would like to emphasize the matter
still further. If any reader of these
notes in any state knows of brush land
which can be bought cheaply, there is
a snap for him in buying it and fencing
1t and putting on it an average Of
three Angora goats to the acre. II To-
Gated anywhere in the blue grass re-
gion, the goats will convert this brush
tract inside of five years into smooth
and valuable tract of blue grass pas
ture. assuming. of course, that the
trees and large bushes are cut off the
first year. No grubbing will be need
ed, for the goats will eat every shoot
and twig which appears. and thus the
grubs will all rot and at the end of
five years may be removed with a
plow or pick. There are very many
localities where this may be done with
a nice profit.

In a certain community In the west
a dog went mad, and during the raid
which it made before it was killed it
bit 10 cows IN dairy herd, which all
sooner or later were attacked with ra-
bies and died The owner of these
cows was a wealthy and influential
man in the community, and the milk
Of these cows was received at the local
creamery during the time which elaps-
ed between the biting by the dog and
the outbreak of the disease in the ami
nal. A protest was entered against
this sort of business, but was over
ruled by the creamery officials on the
ground that the milk of such cows was
harmless, even though they had been
inoculated with the virus of rabies.
We are asked to say whether this as
sumption was right or wrong. 1t Is a
common error which classes poisons In
to two types-those which act directly
on the circulatory system, such as the
poison of snakes, and those which work
through the digestive system, such as
arsenic or strychnine, many people be-
lieving that unless such poisons are
administered through the medium
through which they are said to operate
they are harmless. This is clearly q
mistake, for an injection of morphine
OF strychnine into the blood direct will
produce the same results, though not
so rapid and marked as though taken
into the stomach. The virus Of rabies
is what may be termed blood poison
and without doubt might be absorbed
into the system through the stomach
just as the other poisons referred to-.
Whether such virus before the devel-
opment of the disease in the COW could
be communicated through the medium
of the cows milk to the user of such
milk Is question which it will take a
wiser man than the writer to answer.
1t brings up the old wrangle over the
question of tuberculosis-w whether the
milk from COW infected with this dis
ease can transmit the diseaSe-and on
this matter it will be recalled the doc
tors and scientists are widely at yari-
ance Looking at the proposition as
submitted. we would say that common
decency, allied with a natural instinct
of self preservation common to all,
would dictate that such milk was unfit
for use and the man who offered it for
sale or use and the creamery officials
who refused to bar it out were alike
culpable and deserving Of censure.
People who had such milk or the butter
made from such milk sold to them
would be justified in having a mild at
tack of rabies on general principles.

The hardest work for woman con-
nected with farm life is the cooking,
the washing and the butter making. In
most localities the creamery has step
ped in and relieved the housewife of
the care of the dairy. cooperative eff
fort among farmers having worked out
a complete revolution in this particu-
lar. Now, why could not the same
principle of cooperation be further ap-
piled as to the making and baking of
all breadstuffs and the doing of all the
washing of a community? Why should
20 overworked women slave over wash
tubs one day each week and work hard
TO make from 10 to 20 big loayes of

Modern processes have not devised
any surer way to wash blue cottons,
calico, muslins and the like than the
old fashioned practice of soaking them
an hour in pail of water to which a
teaspoonful of sugar of lead has been
added. Red calicoes may be soaked in
strong borax water. The caution must
always be repeated that great care
should be taken in the use of sugar of
lead, which is yirulent poison

RUSSIAN SETTLERS IN NORTH DA-

The writer spent a day or so among
the Russian settlers on the range lands
of western North Dakota recently.
These people are of German origin and
speak the German and not the Russian
language and represent class of Rus
sian citizens which the government of
that country has been glad to get rid
of. These settlers are scattered over
this range country and live primitive
sort of life, caring for their fiocks aud
herds. which find living the year
round upon the nutritious buffalo grass
which there abouBds These people
make sun dried brick out of the clay
dug out of the sloughs. which they mix
with straw after the manner of the
Egyptians of old. aud with these bricks
build their houses and barns for their
stock. Being far removed from fuel
supply. they utilize the manure from
their stockyards. and around each
homestead may be seen this sort of fuel
corded mp in piles for use during the
winter But little land is farmed, ana
their principal source Of revenue is the
stock which they keep.

A Disseminating Strawberry.

When the lever bearing" European
strawberry, st. Joseph, was intro
duced, three years ago, great hopes
were entertained that we had at last
received a variety capable of bearing
autumn fruit. 1t was SO highly rec
commended that many trials were
made, only to end in disappointment.
st. Joseph makes pitiably small
plant as compared with our best native
varieties. though it does not lack vigor
and produces a few small, pale, but
well favored fruits under ordinary cul-
tiyation. Rural New Yorker.

CABBAGE CULTURE.
Practical Points ON Hoeing and CT
ffvaffnp Inv One who KnoxVa.

Practical Points ON Hoeing and Gull
tivating by One Who Knows.
The usual practice among farmers
and market gardeners is to give their
cabbage three hoeings and three cult
yatings, the cultivating always preced-
ing the hoelngs. Under good manur-
ing, with good seed and the land in
good condition and average season, this
insiires crop, but sometimes the land
is in oyergrown condition. The ac-
emulation of plant food left over by
preceding crops is something we did
not know and therefore could not fig
ure on. This, added to the usual ma
nuring. has jumped the cabbage ahead
so fast that soon after their second
hoeing they promise to mature their
heads earlier than we planned for. In
such case we stop right there with our
second hoeing.
The wisdom of this is apparent as
soon as we get to the philosophy Of
hoeing cabbage. Why do we hoe cab
bage? The first and often the second
hoeing is mostly a weed killing process,
but the third, as / understand it, is
really a root pruning process by which
we throw the plant into bud Tor head,
just as we create bud development in
a tree by trimming in it's branches
above ground or it's roots below ground.
If, on the contrary, our cabbage land is
lacking in condition, then it needs ex-
ira hoeing and cultivating in the early
stage of the crop, both to capture nj
trogen from the air and to help the
roots in their search for food.
The presence Of twitch grass makes
another good and sufficient reason for
an extra hoeing, for while that thrives
no other crop can. Don't cut off the
grass with the hoe or by the costly
work of digging it out, but hoe often
and cover the young shoots with the
soil, and I will warrant from expe-
rience that it will end its life with the
season. Where cabbage gets bad set
back, as during a dry season like last
year, l do not hoe Immediately after
the rains come, but wait a few days
until the nearly paraiyzed roots have
got new start or a new set has put
out, says ]. ]. 81. Gregory, an eastern
authority on the late cabbage crop, in

As to standard rations, in this matter
l am a crank, said A. G. Welsh before
the Minnesota Dairyman's association.
No man is better able to determine the
cows rations than the man that han
dies her. Nevertheless from my own
experience the following ration will
keep the average dairy COW up to the
limit of her ability: Twelve pounds of
timothy or upland hay, three pounds Of
cornmeal.- five pounds of ground oats,
nine ounces of ground fax, eight pounds
of alfalfa, ten pounds of corn fodder,
eight pounds of mangels. This is more
than is recommended as standard ra-
ton, but If she eats it you get the re-
turns 1t is well to bear in mind that
the food capacity of dairy COW is an
important factor. Another important
factor is salt. Have plenty of it where
she can get at 1t when she wants it.
Kansas Dairy Cow Ration.
d. H. Otis of the Kansas experiment
station in Kansas Farmer gives the
following ration with millet roughage.
In many parts of Kansas millet and
prairie hay are grown on the same
farm When desired, these can be fed
half and half, but as both are dry feeds
it is well to furnish succulence by Civ
ing ten pounds of mangels per day per
COW, these with eight to ten pounds
of a grain mixture of five parts oats
and three parts cottonseed meal. If
cats are not available, four parts bran
may be used in their stead.
