given in the capital during last No
vember paid the municipality over

PUMPKINS FOR COWS.
Ohio DairywOman Considers Them an
Excellent Ration in Connection
with Corn.

While we never went into pumpkins
for COW feed to the extent some cor
respondents report, we have practiced
feeding them to our mich cows and
calves, and our pigs and horses too,
whenever we had them to feed, for
years. Last year, to our sorrow, we
didn't have them for our cow. We
never gave the stock all they would
eat of them at once, but we gave about
a candy pail of chopped pumpkin to a
mich cow at feed, and fed twice per
day. We never gave so much to the
horse nor to the pigs, at one time.
We put the pumpkins in trough
and chopped them with spade; the
seed was never removed. The reason
some cows go dry on pumpkins is be-
cause they are not fed enough of them.
In addition to the above ration of
pumpkins, our cow had good pasture
for the time of year, all the good water
she wanted, and all the salt, and she
gained in her milk. They are excellent
to feed in connection with corn to a
fattening animal, and are good for
poultry, but must be cooked for the
latter use.-Emma Clearwaters, in
Ohio Farmer.

THE DAIRYMAN'S HOG.
1t Should Be of the Best Breed Be.
cause the Scrub Does Not Pay the
Cost of Production.

Every dairyman, as / have said be-
fore, should study and know as much
about raising hogs as he does about
making butter and cheese, for feed
ing his skim milk to poorly bred hogs
is great loss to him. The old scrub
COW, the dash churn and the razor
back hog should be thing of the
past. Dairymen, discard the scrub
hog! You cannot afford to keep him
present. He is not the poor mans
friend and is the rich mans enemy.
He requires more feed and makes
less pork than high-grade or pure
bred hog. Here again consider the
cost of production. If you are hard
to convince, buy a thoroughbred pig
and place him with lot of common
ones of equal age; give same feed and
care, and in short time the weights
will convince you, to say nothing Of
the superior symmetry of form and
finish which so please the buyers eye
and bring more money. We admit
that the razor-back hog, the scrub
COW and the dash churn served well
and long and still have many hackers
who stand by them, and will always
be standing there as itnmovable as
Lots wife.
What breed of hogs should the
dairyman raise to make the most
money out of them? 1 will say I do
not consider that there is much diff
ference between the Berkshire and
the Poland-China. The experiment
stations have at different times fed
an equal number of each breed, and
the experiments showed that there
was practically no difference in the
food requirements for a given gain.

Little Dafnties for the Cows.

We provide at milking time few
potatoes, or roots sliced and mixed
with a little meal or grain; the
windfalls from the apple and other
fruit trees, always cutting and ston-
ing them if they are stone fruit. Cab
bage leaves, cornhusks, squash,
melon, pumpkin and other vegetable
parings, occasionally sprinkled with
salt, are highly relished. The appe-
tizing mess" tends to produce quiet
ness and prepares the way for the
hay or roughage which is to come
later. We have no occasion to call
the cows from the pasture as milk
ing time approaches, for they will al
ways be seen standing at the bars
or at the stable door with an air of
anticipation which it is a delight to
crafty. They manifest their appre-
citation by their docility and by doing
their best to augment the contents
of the pail.-Sarah E. Wilcox, in Epit-
OmiSt.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1901-03-01

fully considered. And when a choice
of particular breed has been made, it
is best, unless some very strong rea-
son for change appears, to keep this
stock permanently. The man who
keeps Jersey bull one summer Hol-
stein the next, and changes to some
other breed the third year is not work
ing along a very promising line. He
has had plenty of predecessors, but
none of them have been very success
full. Though the blind worship of pedi-
gree is foolish in the extreme, the hav-
ing had good ancestry does add mate
rally to the value of bull.
During long course of careful
breeding, certain valuable qualities in
crease in prominence, and in time be-
come SO firmly fixed as to be transmit
ted with a great deal of certainty. In
the various breeds there are certain
families in which special features have
been developed in an unusual degree.
Some families of Jerseys are much
larger butter producers than others,
and there are families of Shorthorns
which are especially desirable for beef,
while others are excellent mixers. The
mere fact that bull belongs to a par
ticular breed does not determine his
value for any special line of breeding.
To determine this with any degree of
certainty, it is necessary to know, not
only what breed he represents, but
also what rank in that particular breed.
Individual merit is often but erro-
neously placed first in the list of quail
fications which the bull should possess.
Of course an individual without at
least moderate degree of merit would
be debarred at once. But it is much
better to have only fair degree of in
dividual merit and frst-class ances-
try than it is to have the most perfect
form and the finest appearance, with
out being REINFORCED by good pedi-
gree. This because the bull not infre-
quently impresses upon his offspring
the characteristics of his ancestry more
forcibly than he does his own. So it
often happens that a bull of only mod
crate appearance, but with irst-class
pedigree, gets splendid stock, while one
which has an excellent appearance but
nothing to fortify it, gets stock which
is of very little value. 1t is great
benefit to start well, and one of the
principal things to attend to in start
ing the breeding of cattle is to exercise
care and judgment in the selection of
bull.-Samuel A. Shook, in Farm and
Home.

this very high and distinguished posi-.
ton Mrs. Mary E. Poole, of this place,

oughly deserving of this great honor.
Her devotion to the interests of the
Association is very marked, and her ex-
perience with the old soldiers of the
G. A. r. is wide. Mrs. Poole is never
slow to take advantage of anything
that may benefit the veterans, and
her zeal has resulted in much that is
good to these grand old men. She
writes of her experiences: Honor to
whom honor is due, and having seen
the numerous cures effected through
the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, I glad
ly endorse them as being particularly
effective to cure that dreaded disease
of so many of our old soldiers, Bright's
Disease and Kidney Disorders of differ
ent kinds. Kidney Disease soon poi
sons the entire system, and as re-
suit the vital organs are attacked, and
I have found that no remedy so surely,
completely and quickly finds the weak

Pills.

attacks of biliousness and indiges-

cattle Delight I'm Corn Fodder.

The cattle will not refuse good, clean,
bright corn fodder, but care very little
dark. 1t is the loss of corn fodder from
exposure that compels the farmer to
feed his hay. AS food corn fodder is
nearly equal to the grain taken from
the stalks on which it is grown. the fod-
der should be cared for as carefully as
the grain. When properly prepared it
will keep both horses and cattle in
good condition during the winter.
