Favored sections-Other Crops
The United States department. of
of the weather bureau. Missouri sec
ton, issued August 81, said:
The average temperature for the
week just closed has been from 1 to Z
degrees above normal throughout the
state, the excess being greatest in the
southwestern, and least in the south
eastern section. The percentage of
sunshine has also been above the
normal. There was a deficiency in
precipitation except in a few locali-
ties III the southeast, where the fall
ranged from half an inch to owe
three inches, and in a few counties in
about normal. Throughout the
greater part of the central and north
eastern sections practically no rain
fell during the week.
Late corn is improving somewhat in
those localities in the western and
southeastern sections where the rain
fall has been sufficient, but over the
balance of the state the crop contin-
ues to deteriorate. In a few locali-
ties corn is filling well, but most cor
respondents report that the ears are
imperfect, and in some cases have
scarcely any grain on the cob. In the
northern part of the state, and in a
few counties in the southeastern sec
tion from one-fourth to one-half OF
an average crop is promised, but IN
the other sections of the state. espe-
.cialiy in the central, and nearly all
of the southern counties, the pros
pect varies from one-tenth to one
forIth of an average yield, while in a
few localities the crop is practically a
failure.
Cotton in the southeastern counties
is opening and, while not showing
much improvement, is holding its
own.
Fail blowing is progressing, being
considerably over half completed. e
cept in a few counties where but lit
Tie has yet been done owing to the
ground being too hard and cloddy.
The soil, though dry, is generally in
fine condition.
Pastures are improving in some OF
the western and southeastern coun-
ties, bHt elsewhere they are general
iy brown and bare.
Stock water continues
y light to fair crop of clover seed
is promised in portions of the north
western and southeastern sections
but over the balance of the state the

REARING AND BUYING.
Greatest Profits Result When q
Farmer Can Both Grain
and stock.

Whether it is better to rear feeding
stock that is required on the farm or
depend on the western ranges for this
class of stock is a subject OF more or
less discussion among those following
the business of feeding cattle. The
majority of our feeders favor the plan
of rearing their own feeding stock,
but under some conditions this means
more expense than if they had been
secured from the ranges. Hon. John
Cownie, in speaking OF the fattening
of cattle before the Iowa state farm
ers' institute, advanced the following
ideas, taken from the Iowa yearbook
of agriculture, regarding this impor-
TAM question, says Iowa Homestead:
l am aware that it is difficult to secur
well-bred feeders, of the right age and
size for feeding, at a price that in
sures profit or the finished animal,
but if they cannot be bought they
can be raised, and then of the profit
there is no question. By using high
grade cows of any of the leading beef
breeds and pure-bred bulls of individ-
ual merit, excellent calves can be Sc
cured. And if these calves are fed lib

until they are so or SO months old, they
will be ready for market, n COM
mand the highest price. To insure
profit these cattle should never know
what it is to be either hungry. thirsty
or cold. from birth to sale, and having
tried all the methods here outlined.
In the production of beef, I most un-
hesitatingly give the preference to
the feeders raised by myself. 1t has
often been said hat a farmer who
has the corn can well afford to buy
the cattle to consume it, and also that
the farmer who has the cattle, but not
the grain, should secure the latter and
market the cattle in a finished condi-
ton. With good judgment and busi-
ness ability, profit may be made at
times by following either of these
methods, but the farmer who has both
cattle and grain of his W raising,
cannot fail to make profit in combin-
ing the two in a finished product.
After an experience extending over an
average lifetime, in fattening cattle.
I am frank to confess that my great
est profit resulted when I produced
both grain and cattle.

A HAPPY BOY.

Oldenburg, H., Sept. 2nd:-The
doctors all failed in the case of little
thirteen year old Willie Keil, who
suffered with acute rheumatism.
For over three months, the poor
little fellow suffered excruciating
torture. His father, who had done
everything he could think of, saw
a new Rheumatism Remedy adver-
tised-Dodd's Kidney Pills. He
bought some, and soo his little son
showed signs of improvement. Three
boxes cured him completely, and he
has not a symptom of rheumatism
left.
This miraculous cure of a case
which had been given up by the
physicians, has electrified Madison
County, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are a
much talked of medicine.

There is no rule for feeding, as each
Individual must be considered sep
arately from the others. 1t is not an
uncommon error to suppose that the
animals which eat but little are the
most profitable. So long as the an
imal is capable of digesting and as
similating food the greater the
amount of food it should consume, and
the more profitable the returns, es-
pecially with producers such as cows.
The proportion of foo required to
support an animal and supply waste
of tissue is less when a large amount
of food is eaten than when a smaller
quantity Is ccnsumed.-Troy On. y

CAUSED BY PARASITE.
Habit of Feather Eating in Hens Said
to Be Due to a PerniciOus
Little Insect.

The New York experiment station
published a bulletin on feather eat
ing" among fowls. The report makes
a number of observations on this hab-
it. suggesting hat it is the result of
a lack of heterogeneous matter in the
feed, and citing experiments where
fresh cut bone, lean meat, etc, were
fed. The vice." the report says, sis
very uncommon among fowls that
have exercise and a variety OF
feed, and it is most economical to
prevent its appearance by careful
feeding; but as the spread is rapid
even under a ration which does not
ordinarily seem to encourage its de-
yelopment, the vice should be
stamped out by the death or removal
of the first offender"
The editor of Farm and Dairy, New
South Wales, calls attention to the
fact of the failure to mention the
true cause of feather eating" 1T is
now a well-known fact" says the
editor, that feather eating is due
to a minute parasite tsarcoptis laeyis)
which feeds at the roots of the feath-
ers, thus irritating the birds and
causing them to pluck out their own
feathers. Where feathers are pulled
out by other birds, it is due to the
presence of lice, for which they are
searching"
The prevention and remedy, says
the editor, are simple, as the mite
disease is contagious Through eopu-
lation) isolation of the affected bird
is the first step. especially if it be a
cock. The mite yields readily to
treatment OF n part of cr%eosote to
90 parts of lard or vaseline, well
rubbed into the affected parts.
