T. Fleet Galloway had his leg broken
below the knee Monday. He was exer-
cising hose belonging to f. d. Gaskins
on the Warrenton horse show grounds
and in going over jump the horse fell
and caught his leg. The superb riding
of Mr. Galloway has been one OF the chief
features of the past shows, and he will
be greatly missed at the show today.

used a feed rack of this kind several
years and have never seen anything
that suits my fancy better.
Everybody knows what dainty an
imal a sheep is, and the prime necessi-
ty of keeping everything about their
compartments scrupulously clean. a
sheep will never eat anything that has
once been mussed over unless driven
to it by starvation, and it would not
be good policy to insist on it's doing so.
With such feed rack as portrayed one
can keep feed troughs almost perfect
ly clean. A sheep cannot get over this
rack. and it is next to impossible for
them to get into it. The rack can be
made of any length, but it is good
policy to make them such lengths as %
be convenient for partitions to the
f1ocks. being so arranged that feed can
be eaten from both sides. Sheep are
not likely to get chaff in their wool
when feeding from such a rack.-R. o.

SELLING THE CULLS.
Two Things Wherein Many Begin
ners in the Stock Business Are
Likely to Make a Mistake.

One of the hardest things for a
young breeder to do is to discard ami
mails that are not up to the standard
for breeding purposes. There are al
ways buyers for pure-bred animals
at price. 1t matters not if the ami
NAL is inferior it will often command
enough more than grade to tempt
the breeder to part with it. Here is
where a great many breeders help
tear down their reputation even while
they are trying to build it up. In
ferior breeding stock sold to some
body has lived to vex many a man
who thought he was getting rid of
his culls to advantage. 1t requires
courage to send pure-bred animals to
the shambles, but it pays when they
are not the kind to keep. 1t requires
courage also to refuse good prices
for high-class breeding animals; but
that also pays if man is in the bust.
ness for keeps. In these two things
is where most men who have a start
in breeding live stock are likely to
make a mistake. The safe and even
tually the profitable plan is to sell
good ones and keep better ones

NEW WHEAT DESTROYER.
specimens of the Insect Sent from
Texas to 81. Louis to He ExaB,-
imed by Experts. .t

Specimens of an entirely new kind
of an insect which has wrought great
havoc in the growing wheat fields of
Texas were received by p. II. Litch-
field, of the Modern Miller, and placed
on exhibition at the Merchants ex-
change at st. Louis.
Reports from Texas say that at least
Is per cent. of the wheat crop in the
northern part of the state has been
ruined by the bug" and the entire crop
is threatened.
The insect is little smaller than
the Hessian fly, and in appearance 1t is
something between that insect and the
wheat locust"
The body is an olive green and the
wings transparent at first. Under
microscope the insect looks very much
like the Cicada or August fly, which is
so musical in the fall. When the insect
grows older, however, II becomes black
and grows larger. 1t has long legs and
a rather slender body.
Both the grubs and the insects are
seen in countless numbers in the grow
ing wheat. Advices from all parts of
Texas say that the pest is spreading.
But it appears to be working only on
the stubble-gronnd wheat. The insects
were in the wheat last summer when
it was cut, and remained in the ground
all winter. 1874.
Owing to the mildness of the winter,
instead of being killed it propagated
rapidly, and apprehensions are felt for
the entire crop. So far wheat on the
cotton ground does not appear to be
damaged.
The bug attacks the plant, but not
the grain itself, and causes 1t to wither
and die. Samples of the insect, infect
ed plants and soil in which they grew
have been sent to the agricultural de-
partment and to entomologists in St
Louis and elsewhere for examination.
At first it was supposed to he Hes
sian fly, but on closer inspection II
proved to be an entirely different va
riety.

tee of the State Millcrs' association

PRACTICAL HOG NOTES.

Salt and ashes aid digestion in swine.
A clean feeding place for swine is a
prime necessity.
Lice rarely infest hogs that have
plenty of sulphur.
Rusty old straw is one of the worst
materials for bedding swine.
Cholera in the herd travels swiftly
from one animal to another.
The healthy hogs stomach IS as reg
ular as clockwork in demanding food.
When feeding for fattening always
watch for signs of indigestion. Obey
the first sign by reducing rations.
Cholera will be prevented if sulphur
be mixed with the salt and ashes. The
sulphur may be mixed with slop also.
Let the pigs ask for their feed occa-
sionally, just to put an, edge on their
appetite. AS soon as they squeal for
something to eat let them have it.
When a pig refuses to eat and
thumps and has his hair turned the
wrong way, trot him out and give him
a dose of AK. Make the dose a big one.
Remember that stuffing and cram
ming and jamming food into pig to
fatten it in short time is wholly alb
normal, unnatural performance. We
must expect it to wreck some of the
| forced animals.-Rural World.

THE FENCE QUESTION.
Less Fencing Rather Thnn More II
Called For In These Days OF ARri-
cultural Competition.

This is the season for repairing old
fences or building new ones. In this
connection it is well to remember that
an unnecessary fence is an unmixed
evil. Let anyone try the simple ex-
pertinent of plowing square acre and
then an acre 100 rods long by one rod
wide and note the difference in time
required. Our experiments show that
more than one-third of the time of the
plowman is taken up in turning the
corners on the square acre, while there
is scarcely any appreciable loss when
the shape of the field is long and mar
row. On expensive land it does not pay
in these later days to pasture stock at
all. Experience has shown that cows
especially can be kept as cheaply and
at the same time as healthy in the
yard on silage or soilng crops rs in the
field where the interest on the money
invested in the land is taken into con,
sideration. Less fences rather than
more are called for. Remember toe
the fact that fences are apt to be sim
ply places for weeds to grow; they
cost good deal to keep in repair an6
are therefore constant sources of ex
pense. When they are needed built
them. Do not fence in the garden; lei
