After recent contest it came out
that in some instances the struggling

arsenic, strychnine and nitroglycerine.

umph because the trainer has been

But does not the pharmaceutical road
to victory seem less attractive than
the old way which led through physi-
cal strength and skill unaided by the
stimulants which medicine offers?
There is a modernness about the pos
sibility of being beaten by a sixtieth

earlier athletes would have brought
both wonder and regret.

The Indiana State Board OF Agricul-
ture, in a report, says:
Wheat and Barley Beard. 1t 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 ii
will be an intensely sore mouth, in
Others it will be those OF general bowel
disturbance, and in third 1t vii be
those of loud and difficult breathing.
The writer has post-mortemed many
such cases and found accanulations 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 infiamed, inter
fering with eating, and starvation will
occur. Plugs of the boards may ledge
at any point between the larynx and
bronchi, producing loud. distressing
breathing and coughing. The foreign
body can not be removed and death
takes place from suffocation. In the
stomach the boards may puncture the
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 infamma-
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
peIs indicating that young cookie
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
chemical examination and feeding
test to determine the poisonous prop
critics, but in both the results were
negative. The young plants, stripped
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.

Looking After tho Pastures.

ne agricultural department Oh the
national government is looking after
the question of pastures more closely
than ever before. Some of the work
it mas been doing during the past few
years is bound to be far reaching in
its 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 expert
ment. The pastures of the American
farm are badly handled and almost al
ways neglected.
The formation of most of our pas
lures has been a 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 may be increased to enable a
cow to be supported on as Jew 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 so 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 well 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 a 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 a new 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 grain :.
rest and fertilization.
