Cattle Raising In Texas.

In saving the milo maize and Kaffir
corn for winter feeding most of the
stockmen prefer to cut the stalks while
the grain Is in the dough and stack
1t, feeding the stalk and grain together
as hay crop is fed, says c. w. Holt in
Farm and Ranch. OF the two, Kaffir
corn seems to be the better feed. Not
only is the grain the more nutritious
of the two, but both the stalk and the
blade of Kaffir corn are considered
richer in nutriment and more easily d.
gested than are those parts OF milo
maize. Both, however. are excellent
feeds, and their production is destined
to increase greatly.
A fairly good crop of Kaffir corn pro
duces from 60 to rs bushels to one
acre of land. Such a crop, cut while
in the dough and fed whole, will en-
able the stockman to carry through
the winter In thriving condition five
or six head of cows or steers, provided
he has fairly good pasturage of native
grasses. BY feeding the younger stock,
keeping them growing without check,
and the cows that are with calf such
results can be achieved as will show a
large margin of profit. 1t will probably
also pay well to keep some hogs to fol-
low the cattle SO fed In order to utilize
al the wasted feed. $500.

ANGORAS IN MISSOURI.



The question of goats us brush exter-
minators is receiving much attention in
Montgomery county, writes j. V. Nobel
in Wool Market and Sheep. There are
about 400 goats in this county. About
half Of this number are Angoras and
are doing valuable service in the way
of retaining timber or waste land and
turning 1t into green pastures. This
work is well worth their cost, not to
speak Of the profit reaped from their
mohair and the increase. 1t Is marvel
Gus the way they have changed some
Of my land from its former condition,
which was covered so thick with I'M
derbrush that a horseman could not
ride through, and today the brush trees
are dead, and In their place grows
beautiful blue grass. People passing
stop In amazement. and comment on
the great work these goats are doing.
In fact, goats are the ideal brush exter
minators. They do 1t at a cash profit
who has any land of the above descrip-
ton should be without his flock of
goats.
Angora goats become great pets when
kindly treated and as such are much
sought after because of their attractive
appearance. their long, wavy fieeces
having the luster and appearance Of
silk. They are but little harder to fence
than sheep. A fairly good rail fence
will turn them unless they have been
spoiled by starving and bad manage

There is no difficulty in rearing moth
erless lambs. No other young animals
are more easily managed. If a lamb is
chilled, give 1T bath in hot water,
rub it dry as possible, wrap it In flan-
mel. leaving only the head out, and put
1t in a box or basket near a fire. Feed
some hot milk with a spoon, and IL 1t

milk. A fresh cow is a very useful
addition to the outfit of a shepherd,
and 1t may save good many lambs
which happen to be deprived of
mother or are discarded at the lamb
ing time. A young lamb will begin to
eat a little meal and nibble hay when
weeks old, when a good feed for
them may be made of ground oats and
corn, with a little cottonseed oil meal
mixed with 1t. This is an excellent
feed to push on tue lambs at any time.

ton and argument. In the event of the
Judgment of the trial court being con-

HORSES FOR MARKET.
Farmers should Raise Only the Best
Draft Animals.


Draft Animals.
In the first place, farmers should
raise draft horses, writes ]. b. E. Jacot
in The Prairie Farmer. The breeding
of road horses is n speciality for which
farmers are not favorably situated. A
light, all purpose horse is not the horse
for market and therefore not the horse
to raise. There is always an abun-
dance of poor horses, and they are not
In demand, therefore raise the very
best draft horses.
Here is an illustrations: A man sold
six horses to shippers, realizing $1,000
for them. Four sold for $500 apiece
and two for $3.50 each. They were all
good draft horses. About the same
time / knew of another man who fed
two horses for market. They were not
good ones, and when he thought they
were ready for market he could not
sell them, so he kept them awhile long
er. finally selling them both for 500.
In both these instances the horses
were about the same age. 1t took near
ly the same amount of work and Of
feed TO prepare the horses for market
In each case. 1t is clear, therefore, that
it pays only to raise the best. No direct
rule for the feeding of horses can be
laid down, hut this much may be said:
The horse should be fed and cared for
by one person as much as possible and
at regular intervals. This person should
study to understand the horse under
his care. He must know the effect of
each feed and vary the feed according
ly. He must also know how to exer-
else each horse and improve every OPP
portunity for its training. Teach 1t to
be obedient and at the same time not
afraid of him. Subdue by diligence and
patience rather than by force. 1t is not
very advantageous to feed only one or
two horses at n time. Feed several, and
In that way make ii business, and
you will be known to be in the busi-
ness and will have more buyers. While
you are selling one horse you will be
advertising the others.
Be well posted on the horse market.
Stick to your prices and bargains.
Make yourself acquainted with as
many dealers in horses as possible. Co
operate with them. Be frank and al
ways represent horse for what 1t is.
Build up your business and make your
self felt as a prominent factor. Make
1t q point to have always good horses
for the market.

Men.
Cavite, April 2-At { o'clock on SUM-

Soft Feed Bad For sheep.

Although sheep have a multiple
stomach as cows have, yet the analogy
goes no further, says The American
Sheep Breeder. Otherwise cows and
sheep differ very much. Cattle are ro-
bust and of vigorous constitution, with
a comparatively low nervous organiza-
ton. Sheep are quite otherwise, hav-
ing highly nervous disposition and
weak constitution. Thus they are great
ly disposed to diseases Of the nervous
and digestive functions. For instance,
instances of paralysis Of the loins
among cows are exceedingly rare, but
quite common among sheep, and this
disorder is one Of the great nervous
system of the spine. The soft cut food
is apt to pack in the Sleeps stomach
and cause a variety of diseases-stag-
gers, paralysis, kidney disorders, heart
troubles and general Inflammation
which results in loosening of the wool,
sore mouth. sore feet and several other
diseases of like character; hence cut
and soft food is not suitable for sheep.

CARE OF COLTS TEETH.
A Matter Too Often Neglected In
Rural Districts.


Ia an address delivered before the
Pennsylvania state board of agricul-
ture on this subject c. w. Broad read
said:
First haze your colts looked to as
soon as years old, and as soon as
they begin to shed their nippers In
front, if they do not come out them
selves as they should and are crowding
the new teeth out of place, have them
pulled, as this will save lots Of cribbing
horses later on; also have the molars
examined when they are beginning to
shed them, as the new ones crowd
them against the cheek or tongue, caus-
ing sores on both, and painful mastica-
ton is the result.
This branch of veterinary science has
been sadly neglected In the rural dis
tricts, and two-thirds of the diseases
Of the horse arise from painful masti-
cation and result in indigestion from
the fact that the teeth become uneven,
with sharp points wearing in decayed
cavities, the outer edges become sharp
and turn against the cheeks, the inner
edges of the under teeth turning in and
cutting the tongue, causing sores on
cheek and tongue. This may be cured
by properly operating on the teeth, as
also the following: Driving on one line,
sloughing at mouth, pudding. tossing
Of head, shying, securing when driven,
running at the eyes, gnawing the man.
ger, periodical baking.
Do not overlook the feet and teeth,
positive they both have deteriorated in
the last 20 years, especially in our
standard bred horses. They are easy
to overlook, and In trying to bring
some other point or points to perfec-
ton, such as high knee action, good
name and tail, the most particular
parts of the horse are lost sight of, and
once lost can never be regained.

Let us give them as token
OF the love we bear mankind.

That the world is moving on,
From its ancient mnorinSs drifting,
While the tides OF thought are shifting.

See, the night OF wrong is waning.
And the King of right is reigning,
And the Tag of hopes unfurlcd.

There are battles left for fighting,
There are beacons left for lighting
To illuminate the world.
Better days are breaking DER US;

Waited DER the years to be;

Notes OF sweet and rapturous singing
Down the Futures aisles are ringing
From the anthems OF the free.
