Cowpeas as CattIe Food.

A correspondent of The b 'eder's
Gazette, writing from Kansas, says:
81 am feeding young breeding cattle
for bone and muscle. My best feed
crop is cowpeas. How should this be
supplemented to get the best resultsp
The inquiry was answered by w. A.
Henry as follows:
Our correspondent does not say
whether he means the seeds of the
cowpea plant or the vines Of the same
made into hay. Both are rich in pro-
TEN. If he is feeding the peas, they
should be mixed with cornmeal and
bran to tighten them up, as alone they
are heavy feed. grain ration con-
slsting of one-thrd cowpeas, one-third
bran and one-thlrd cornmeal should
put bone and muscle on young cattle
about as fast as any combination at
the command of the feeder. If our
correspondent means hay made from
the cOwpea vine, then he has rough
age rich in protein. This will take the
place of clover hay. Let the ration,
then, for the animals consist of oats,
bran and corn for concentrates and
cowpea vine hay and corn stover for
roughage. A pound of the concentrates
for each hundredweight Of live animal
daily should suffice. Give all the rough
age REQUIRED.

He can better afford to buy this kind
than to raise them. No farmer can
come out even on a common horse, a
horse that is not saddle horse, a
driver a carriage horse an express
horse or a draft horse.
Every man who breeds a mare should
have long ago made up his mind as to
what he has and what he ought to use
to get a horse that will sell. If he has
not the kind of a mare to produce a
seller, he had better not breed. If he
cannot find stallion that will produce
a seller, he had better not breed. Get
size, no matter what class you breed,
and as much quality as possible. Size
and quality are a rare and costly COM
bination, and it pays to go after them.

The provision of green feed for
stud flock is one of those matters that
should always be in the mind of the
flock owner, says Wool Markets and
Sheep. For the well being and full de-
velopment of the sheep a constant
change as well as variety in food is re-
quired, and consequently there should
always be provision for fodder crops.
The late summer is a very important
time in this respect, for during it many
crops should be sown for the provision
of both late autumn and winter keep.
Dependence should never be placed up
on any single variety, for if this fails
little remains. Early white turnips may
be got in. The value of a crop of this
kind, both to the ram breeder and 10
the feeder for market, is hard to as
sess. Glover, Italian rye grass, sanfoin,
vetches and rape may be made availa-
BILE. TO follow white stone turnips a
mixture of turnips and rape is recon-
mended. Cabbage should never be for
gotten. Always plant out whenever an
opportunity occurs, for use can always
be found for these. In fact, they are
always valuable for all kinds of stock;
also kale, which will afford a grand
change of food for the ewes and may
be made available to fill up any blank
places there may be in the root crops
patch.
The Sheep For Profit.
| choose sheep thick chested, big
through the heart with a round body
and broad, straight back, says an Ohio
grower. Choose the thick necked kind,
where the neck sets on the shoulder
broad and thick, and big, heavy quar-
tiers, with a straight, short leg. l do
not care for small bone in sheep. l
do not care how large it is.
Exercise For the Eve.
Want of proper exercise seems to re-
suit in both small and weak lambs.
The size of the lamb Is not of so much
Importance as are its vigor and activity.
In fact the small lambs are sometimes
the most active. The eve that has out
door exercise every day is more likely
to produce a more active and vigorous
lamb that will take care of itself short
ly after its arrival.

Prevented a Tragedy.

Timely information given Mrs. George
Long, Of New Strsitsville, Ohio, saved two
lives. A frightful cough had long kept her
awake every night. She had tried many
remedies and doctors but steadily grew
worse until urged to try DR.. Kings New

and she writes, this marvellous medicine
also cured Mr.. Long of a severe attack Of
Pneumonia. Such cures are positive proof
of it's power to cure all throat, chest and
lung troubles. Only soc. and 81 co. Guar.

make these fine general purpose fowl
for farmers. Weights and points are
the same as for Barred Plymouth
Rocks, but the plumage should be an
even shade of golden buff.
Golden Wyandottes are newcomers
and very popular, not in such numbers
yet as the whites or silver laced. Their
characteristics are much the same as
those of the other Wyandottes and
standard weights the same.
The Bluffs are probably the most nu-
merous aud best liked Of the Cochin
family.
Buff Leghorns, comparatively new
but very popular variety, have taken a
foremost position solely on their mer-
its. The eggs of the hens are large and
white: chickens are quick growers.

SIZE AND QUALITY.
No Money In Common Horses For the
American Farmer,

The American farmer cannot afford
to raise a common horse or small
horse, says The National Stockman.
The ranchman can raise small horses,
because they are the easiest to raise
the hardest and shiftlest and because
he can sell them cheap and still make
money, but as a business proposition
for him the small horse is behind the
larger one too. He can and does raise
and market a 10 hand horse, good
shape and sound, for less than the
grain it costs a farmer to raise one of
the kind.
A farmer who does not expect to
raise bigger horse than that will nine
times out of ten make money by keep
ing the service fee in his pocket and
putting his feed into something else.

Whipping Post Needed .

This city has been treated to
another practical. living illus.
tration of why it needs a whip.
ping post and needs one badly.
Tuesday night Andy McGin :
mis-, a biped of the human fami-
ly, brute whose heart is as
black as his hide, when tired OF
loating down town, went .home
about midnight and arousing
his wife from her peaceful slum-
Der, proceeded to administer to
her an unmercifnl beating, just
for the fun of it.
In court he was given fifteen
days; that means an extra bur.
den OF $50 or $25 placed upon
an innocent public. 1t does not
mean punishment to him, be,
cause he is furnished a good
bed and food as good or better
than his wife furnished him.
When he serves time he will be
ready for another frolic. If he
had been made to Hug Betty
and the lash laid on, one dose
of medicine would have cured
him.

no man in Northern Missouri
better known than Col. Bush.
He began his stock operations
on the Monroe Prairie in 1857
and IN Il few years had secured
a large body of ldud south and
southwest of this city. He
bought aud shipped large guam
titles of stock from this point
and is credited with laying the
foundation for the vast poultry
business Of this town. One day
some one iestingly said: Bill
you buy everything. why don't
you buy geese? He said: Il
will" and Immediately adver
tised for car load and got it,
He is also credited by some with
being the true father of the

his untiring energy that large
portion of the trade was brought
to Monroe. He has enough old

Much ado about nothing.
DIR. George L. Turner, of the
Turner Drug Company, is mad,
madden than a wet hen, is mad
from center to circumference.
from top to bottom. And all
because he violated a revenue
law, because Hugh B. Mudd,
proprietor of the Thirst Parlor,
informed on him and the prose-
cutting attorney put the screws
to him, and bled him for S140
and cost on two charges and
cost in two other cases. The
DEMOCRAT thought that IN its
write up, it was letting him
down easy; it said nothing about
his clerks, it's statements were
facts. This paper owes duty
to itself and to it's subscribers,
and if DR.. Turner makes court
news it will be published. His
son, Rush, one of the principals
in the case, has tried to run a
bluff by ordering the paper
stopped. They believe in sup
porting home industries, there
fore were not subscribers of the
paper, therefore we could not
comply with the request.
He then ordered the Doctors
s. per annum card taken out of
the paper, which was cheerfully
done.
The DEMOCRAT does not tack
lie bull doing game nor will
it be bull dozed.
Finally if DR.. Turner thinks
he has been injured or placed in

by the DEMOCRAT, it will cheer.
