have not only found it of considerable
practical value, but we are sure we
would prefer it 20 an enclosed pen, save
possibly in the csc Of a very vicious
animal, where pro ably the cable would
be very much out of order
In the accompanying cut but one
end of the cable is shown. Two heavy
posts are set about 60 feet apart and
are thoroughly braced or stayed.
Those we used are about ten inches in
diameter in the smallest, and we find
them none too large - in fact,
larger, rather than smaller, ones would
be preferred. 1t is surprising what
strain is brought against these posts,
even by bull attached to the cable
with his ring.
The cable is passed through the posts
about nine feet from the ground. At
q distance of about four feet from the
post it will be observed that an OK ring
is spliced into the wire. Our main OBJ
ject, however, in putting the rings in
at either end was to prevent the bull
from coming closer to the posts than
is safe. If allowed too close, there is
anger of his becoming entangled and
en- breaking loose.
We use an iron pulley on the cable
similar to what is shown in the cut.
1 have no doubt that there is a
great deal in the proper training of
bull for such wire. / should not rec
ommend any one to pull an old bull on
such cable and expect the experiment
to be entirely successful, because,
though the chances are favorable, it
would not be safe save IN the case of a
bull that is very easily managed, but if
the bull is trained to such a wire when
a calf, and grows up thoroughly ac,
customed to it, believe that the ma
5oTity of the bullkeepers will be so
thoroughly pleased that they will use
the wire for exercising altogether. If
one desires to make his own cable, he
can do so just as well as to buy it. I
would recommend that seven or nine
strands of No. 10 galvanized wire be
used, and be twisted with considerable
evenness so as to be smooth. Our
cable is hand-twisted and is as salts
factory as though machine made.

DAIRY SOILING CROPS.
TIE Time Will Come When Every
Farmer Who Wants to Succeed
Will Plant Them,

An old adage has it that closing the
barn door after the theft of the horse
is not the best method of preventing
burglary. Yet it is held to be worth
while as a discourager of further pill
fering. The dairyman who this past
summer has seen his cows shrinking,
feels inclined to shut the barn door.
How may he do this best? If he has
planted soiling crops like peas and
oats, Hungarian millet, and tie like,
and has been supplementing the cying
pastures with green feed in the barn
or yard, he has closed the door be-
fore rather than after the theft.
Moreover, the necessity for the sum
mer feeding of grain is greatly less
ened.
The Vermont experiment station
has for many years experimental with
soiling crops, and recommends 20
dairymen the large use of summer
ensilage and oats and peas sown
at weekly intervals, and fed during
July and August. Ensilage is prob
ably the cheaper food; oats and peas
somewhat the better. If the former
is contemplated as steady summer
diet for years, it would be wei to con-
/s'der the erection of a special summer
,, preferably round, with small
'~Ameter and a relatively great depth.
Ensilage spread over large surface
in summer spoils rapidly and loses
largely in feeding value. If oats and
peas be chosen, they should be sown
in successive lots at weekly intervals,
the two sown separately, the peas first
rather deeply and narrowed in; the
oats two or three days later and
pushed in. A better catch is likely to
be secured in this way than if sown
together. The crop may be either fed
green, hayed or put in the silo. Let
those whose July and August milk
yields prove disappointing try ensi-
lage or oats and peas next year.-Coun"
try Gentleman.

REMAINING THE BIRDS.
English Names Being Given Some
American Species by the SmithsO MAN
Institution.

Institution.
1.-THE Birds of North and Middle
America" by Robert Ridgway, chief
Ornithologist of the Smithsonian in
stitution, is the name of one of the
most remarka BILE publications of the
new century, says a Washington spe-
ciaI to the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Some eight months ago, Prof. Ridg-
way, to employ his own words, realiz-
ing the fact that English is fast be-
coming the language of commerce all
over the world, and that the demand
for plain English terms in all walks
of life is growing stronger day by
day. decided, that of all sciences, or
anthology was one in which English
could be employed to the best advan-
tage. He was then preparing the
work above mentioned, which gives a
summary of the birds of North Amer
lea as far south as Ecuador, and. find
ing that there were some 5000 spe-
cies of birds on this continent, known
only by their scientific names, of
Greek and Latin derivation, he de-
cided in view of the fact that very
few people, aside from ornithologists,
are acquainted with birds by their
technical names, which are, as rule,
difficult to pronounce, and impossible
to remember, to undertake the task
of giving English names to all of the
aforesaid 5000 or more species of
American birds, popularizing a sci
ence that, for this reason alone, has
long remained dull ana unattractive.
The book Just published is a monu-
ment to his forethought, and thing
altogether new in science. In it the
North American birds are given by
their English names, such as canvas
back duck" "blue Jay" ''wren,"
"crow," etc. Prof. Ridgway had to
invent English names for the 5000
birds above mentioned, but so far
there have been no criticisms passed
on his taste in the matter, a result,
no doubt, of his having striven to in
vent for each bird a name that would
be short, easy to remember, and at
the same time appropriate and de-
scriptive. This is the first time such
thing was ever undertaken in sci
ence, and had it occurred as late even
as so years ago, it is safe to say that
the Latin-worshiping savants of that
day and time would have thrown up
their hands in horror over such an
innovation.
The scientific men of this city are,
however, rapidly reaching the con-
clusion that the best way to interest
the masses in science is to strip it of
its mediaevalism. The result of Prof.
Ridgway's work will be watched with
interest by Washington scientists,
many of whom are in favor of apply
ing the same general principle to
zoology, palaeontology and geology
and of using English in place of the
long Latin names, which very few
people care to learn or to remember.

Appropriations For tire Outer Bar Ma

Following is Washington dispatch
Of the Associated Press:
"The Senate Commerce Committee
considered the Georgia items at its
sess on today, and ell Of the apr opris
tions carried By the House bill were
retained through the forts of Senator
Clay, who is member of the commit
tee.
There has besn an effort on the part
of some people 20 cut the Southern
items, but so far as Georgia is concern
ed, this fort failed. AS the bill will
be passed, therefore, harbor sppYopria-
ions for Georgia will be as follows:
Savannah hsrboF, $4,000; contin-
uing contract, ST. 100000.
Deboy bay, 500, 900.
Darlen, $4,000.
For the construction Of a dredge for
Cumberland sound, $4,000.
For the improvement Of the Bruus-
wick inner harbor, $125, GOO; for Bruns-
wick's outer bar, $4,000.
This last item contains an increase
of $1,000 over the appropriation
made by the House. 1t was secured by
Senator Clay at the instance of Mr..
Brantley, and as it has the approval
cf the House committee, there ia no
doubt but that it will be retained in
the bill when it reaches the conference.
