K;Il;ry RrusI,-

We see much said in our Western ex-
changes about the value of the Angora
goat to destroy brush. If that is their
strong point we do not want them. 1t
used to be the fashion to advocate
keeping sheep to kill weeds and briars.
They will surely do that If kept on
them, but we never knew any one TO
start with sheep with that as his main
incentive, who did not come to the
conclusion that there was no profit in
sheep. If we wart good wool and NUT
ton the sheep must have something be-
side briars to feed upon, and If they
choose to take few briars or weeds
as a sort of condiment with the other
food, well and good. So we think If
Angora goats are kept to kill brush en-
tirely they will furnish but little mo-
hair and poor flesh. Give us the old
plan for killing brush, NOW in July,
burn in August, and then let sheep pick
few of the tender sprouts IL they
want them the next spring.-American
Cultivator.

Lawn Grass.

While most of the seed stores sell
special lawn-grass mixtures. which,
perhaps, contain half-dozen or more
varieties of grass seed, we doubt if any
of them will give better results than to
mix one bushel of Kentucky bluegrass,
a half bushel of clean redfop, or a
bushel in the chaif, one peck of sweet
vernal and one pound of white clover.
the above being amount for one acre.
The bluegrass is earlier than the red
top, and the redtop resists summer heat
better, while the fragrant. sweet yernal
is good both early and late. Have
the ground thoroughly pulyerized and
made rich with about six hundred
pounds lawn dressing per acre which
has more nitrogen and potash than the
usual superphosphates. and sow in
spring as early as the ground can be
well worked, or SOW in August. We
prefer the artificial fertilizer to the
barnyard manure for lawn. as being
free from weed seeds The above mix
ture is also a good one for permanent
pasture.-New England Farmer
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1901-04-17
Early pasturare.

Jhe first grass IN spring Is watery ana
has very little nutrition In it, partly be-
cause it is usually to be found on the
low lands. where the better grade of
grasses do not grow. Yet we used to
like 10 get cattle and sheep into it as
soon as it was large enough 10 give
them a fair bite. as such grass is poor
at the best. and almost worthless after
1t gets tough aud harsh. But we never
depended much upon it as food for
them, excepting for its succulent quail
ties. We fed as much hay and grain
the morning before we let them into
pasture as if they were to remain in the
yard Then we took them in early, and
at night they were fed at the barn
again. The green grass loosened the
bowels and perhaps we had a little
more milk. or little thriftier growth,
but it made the change from hay to
pasture more gradual. and they seemed
to relish it, especially if the roots We're
all gone, as they usually were likely to
be at that season. That was before the
days Of the silo, and if we had one
well filed we might think it better now
to feed ensilage, ard let the bog grass
grow to be used as bedding, or TO be
used as covering for strawberries or
spinach, or as mulch for some other
crops.-American Cultiyator.

Farm separators,

Butter makers kick on farm separa-,
tors, says the Northwest Farmer. Some
of the butter makers are making a live
ly kick against the Introduction of the
farm separator. They might as well
kick against a stone wall. for kicking
will not stop its coming. There Is only
one thing that will check its rapid in
PRODUCTION, and that is better skimmilk
from the creamery. Farmers are get
ting more and more determined to
raise good calves, and they propose to
do this with separator skimmilk. If
the butter makers don't clean up their
pumps, pipes and tanks and give the
skimmilk a thorough pasteurizing the
farmer is certain to lend an attentive
ear to the farm separator agent, d sep
arator will be installed on trial, and
you can count on its staying. 1t win
then be too late to protest. for after a
farmer pays 800 for separator he is
quite apt to find a factory that will
take his cream. Dairymen of expert
ence have found that the best of calves
can be raised on good separator milk,
and every intelligent butter maker
knows how to return it in good ,cotdi-
ton. gaslao

Artificial calfFeeder.

What an awful disappointment 1t
must be to 4 calf to wake up some
morning and find its mother missing
and no warm breakfast waiting. and
how Disguised it must feel when the
farmer comes in little later with a
pail OF skinned milk, straddles the
Gifts neck. inserts his finger in its
mouth and tries TO convince it that
drinking is the proper method of feed
ing from that time on. Happy would
be that calf If the farmer would pro-
vide it with the feeding arrangement
here shown, and happy would the far
mer be if he did not have TO waste his
time in teaching the calf to drink. The
calf seems TO get along fairly we'll un-
til the farmer undertakes to withdraw
his finger and make the calf go ii
alone, but then rebellion rises and an
upset pail is the result In some cases.
Once introduce the calf TO this device
and he may bunt to his hearts con-
tent without upsetting the milk. The
arrangement consists of a reservoir,
suspended from the wall. with a tube
Leading to Il block underneath, on

Races with a Locomotive.

a sensation that has seldom been par
alleed in that city was caused by Fred
Madison. u well-known resident of Keno
sha. chasing down the tracks of the
Northwestern Railway dressed only in
his Undertaking and but a few feet
ahead of a hriny, locomotive. The man
had become t, n,porarily deranged by long
illness due to nervous disorder, and
imagining that he was pursued by unseen
foes, had risen from his bed aud attempt
ed TO escape from them. That Madison
was not killed by the locomotive that fol-
lowed SO closely ON his flight is due to
the nerve Of the engineer, who, seeing the
man ahead of him on the tracks, reversed
the lever and brought his engine to stop
just as Madison, completely exhausted,
fell in a faint between the rails.
