PREVENTING MILK FEVER.
Iodide of Potash, Properly Admints-
tered, Has Proved Specific for
This Disease.

Some time ago we gave in this de-
partment of the paper a full account
of the new Schmidt method of treat
ing milk fever with a solution OF
iodide of potash infused into the I'D
der; we are now in position to give
instructions for the prevention OF the
disease by use of the same drug prior
to parturition. Where it is feared
that COW will suffer from an attack
of milk fever she should be given
half drachm of iodide Of potash twice
a day for a week, two weeks ahead
of the expected event and three times
daily the last week, that is for one
week prior to calving This is for
fat cows or such as have had a pre-
vious attack and recovered, for such
cows are likely to suffer second and
fatal attack. The drug is very strong
in its action, and where given for a
long time prior to paturition will be
apt to kill the calf and run the COW
down in condition. 1t is necessary
to get the COW under the control of
the drug, but it should, if possible, be
done in such way that the life of
the calf is not endangered. We be-
lieve that it is safe to give a half
drachm of the iodide of potash night
and morning for one week prior to
calving, and then two drachms at one
dose when it is seen that the COW is
about to calve, and this treatment will
prove effective in most cases, unless
the COW is very fat or predisposed to
an attack by reason of a previous
attack At the same time the preg-
nant COW should be well exercised
daily and should have soft food rath-
er than lot Of grain. Corn seems
to be an especially dangerous food
for heavy milking cows that are get
ting little exercise prior to calving,
but bran is found to have a good eff
feet as a preventive in that it does
not fatten but keeps the bowels free
ly open. The iodide should be given
in little water as a drench or NAV
be mixed in the drinking water or
soft food, as it has no bad taste, and
cattle will not object to it's presence
in food or water. 1t will lessen the
first How of milk, but the flow will
come back in short time after the
COW gets over the effects of the drug,
and less milk is better than risk of
having case of the fatal disease
mentioned. Cows liable to have the
trouble should be kept off green
grass.-Farmers' Review.

FOREST PROTECTION.
New Jersey Legislature Has Just
Passed Law Which All other
States Should Copy.

Through Senator Minch, our coun-
ell has succeeded in getting law
passed by the New Jersey legisla-
ture, on forest fires. A law that we
urge all good citizens to understand
and sustain.
Friends of forests in other states
may do well to seek similar legisla-
ton in their respective common
wealths. Animal and plant life and
health are so dependent on forest
conditions, as influencing climate,
that forestry is an interstate ques-
ton. 1t is also such a question in
respect to streams for water power,
and for navigation. For prevention
of floods and the regulation of rain
fall. The rainfall section of it alone
Is one of many millions year to
any one of the United States. If
rain comes at the right time farm
er may clear say $500 year more
than if not so coming. Every 10000
such farmers in that state have 49,
100000 annually at stake. Similar
figures apply to climate respecting
sickness. A citizen of town, as
well as a farmer, may lose $500 by
sickness that would be prevented by
wise forest regulation. Forest foil
age is the chief protection from ma
larial enemies in the air; and the
great dispenser of healthful oxygen.
Forests are the main and practical
ly the only regulation of rainfall.
Fire is the greatest of the many
enemies to the forest. The person,
or the corporation, starting such a
fire should suffer severe penalties.
To this end our forest council has
secured the passage of the law re-
ferred to. We believe it to be one
of the best ever enacted for this
purpose. 1t will repay citizens to
understand this law and sustain it.
The great work for good citizens,
under it, is to secure investigation OF
forest fires, and see that each town
ship committee selects fire marshal.
Local civil engineers are often the
best men for marshals.
Citizens of other states not hav-
ing good laws protecting from for
est fires should demand similar &C.
ton to that of New Jersey from
their respective legislatures, and then
sustain the same. Forest fires are
usually of far more damage than
they are assessed for.-George May
Powell, President New Jersey Forest
Council

Several grasses and sedges develop

give rise to new plants at every point

To save the Cranberry.

The department of agriculture is
planning a half-acre bog on the Ar
lington farm near Washington, recent
ly turned over to it as an experiment
station. Here will be studied the
"scald," which threatens to ruin the
Dogs of New Jersey, New York and
New England, and is slowly spreading
to other parts of the country. The
regions effected produce seven-eighths
of the crop, which few years ago was
valued at 100000. This scald is
caused by fungus which appears to
enter the plant through its roots, and
cannot be reached by ordinary spray
ing. Thus far it has not been found
at its fruiting season, and little is
known of its life history.

Registered Bulls in Demand

The demand for registered bulls of
the various beef breeds ought to re-
main good for years to come, says
Live Stock and Wool Growers Jour
nal. Breeders of registered cattle
have it largely in their own hands
to maintain good prices, and this they
can do if they will make steers of
the medium to fair bull calves, al
though they are from good families,
and subject to registration. Moth
ing will hurt the registered bull so
much as selling inferior animals for
breeding purposes. No matter how
good the herd, there will necessarily
be some inferior animals, and breed
ers can i'll afford to sell such except
for slaughter. Breeders should work
to create a permanent demand for
bulls, and this can only be accom-
plished by breeding animals whose
progeny will show up all right.

Raise Your own Fruits.

Much land is not well adapted to
fruit trees, and crops other than
fruit trees may be more profitable
for market, but all summer and fall
fruit should usually be grown on the
farm, anyway. The home should
have an abundance of apples for use
until winter apples are ready, and
there is no better way of getting
good varieties than by grating.
Trees should be planted where want
ed, and then get scions from trees
in the neighborhood if there are va
rieties that please. Then it makes
no difference whether one has the
name correct or not.

FAMOUS OLD HIGHWAY.
Cumberland Road, Constructed Near
~ One Hundred Years Ago,
still in Fair Condition.

The most remarkable highway built
in the United States early in the cen
fury was the so-called Cumberland
road, which was to extend from Cum
berland, Nd, through southwestern
Pennsylvania, over the Allegheny
mountains to the Ohio at Wheeling,
w. Va, and then on to St. Louis. 1t
was so well constructed that it is a
good road to-day. Henry Clay was its
protector and chief supporter, and his
services in its behalf are commemorat-
ed by monument near Wheeling. We
are told by letters written at that
period that "there were sometimes 20
gayly-painted four-horse coaches each
way daily. The cattle and sheep were
never out of sight, and canvas-covered
wagons were drawn by six or twelve
horses"
On this great road, which eventually
passed into the hands of the states
through which it runs, the government
expended no less a sum than 81, 900, 900.
Within mile of it on either side the
country was a wilderness, but on the
highway itself the traffic was as dense
as in the main street of large town.
Ten miles an hour was the usual speed
for coaches. From Baltimore to Wheel
ing ran lines of freight wagons which
carried ten tons, drawn by ~ horses,
and with wheels ten feet in diameter.
When Charles Dickens visited Amer
lea in 1912, he travelled by stage coach
from Cleveland to Sandusky, o. De
scribing his experience, he wrote:
cat one time we were all thrown to-
gether in heap at the bottom of the
coach, and at another we were crush
ing our heads against the roof. Now
the coach was lying on the tails of the
two wheelers, and now it was rearing
up in the air. The driver, who GER
tainly got over the ground in man
ner quite miraculous, so twisted and
turned the team, in forcing passage
corkscrew fashion through the boys
and swamps, that it was common
circumstance, on looking out of the
window, to see the coachman with the
ends of pair of reins in his hands,
apparently driving nothing, and the
leaders staring unexpected at one
from the back of the coach, as if they
had some idea of getting up behind A
great portion of the way was over
what is called "a corduroy road which
is made by throwing trunks of trees
into a marsh and leaving them to set
tie there. The very slightest of the
jolts with which the ponderous car
riage fell from log to log was enough,
it seemed, to have dislocated all the
bones in the human body. 1t would
be impossible to experience a similar
set of sensations in any other circum-
stances, unless perhaps in attempting
to go up to the top of st. Paul's in an
omnibus"

| the condition of our country roads,
generally speaking, as they were rs
years ago, except in few wealthy
communities. There has been won
derful change since then.-Pearson's

PLANTS WHICH WALK.
Several Well Known Specim ems

Jumping or Creeping.

Not a few plants are possessed of
the actual power of migration, not
merely by their seeds becoming scat

movement from year to year. The
common purple orchid, for instance,
forms a new bulb each year, and each
year the new shoot appears nearly an
inch from the root occupied by last
years stem. Tulips planted in the
shade will often find their way to a
sunny spot. There is North Ameri-

what the Dairy Cow Needs.

The relation of the comfort of the
COW to the cash received by her own
er for her products, is one that every
dairyman should study with much in
terest. These conditions-enough
good food and pure water, shelter from
the heat of summer and storms of
winter, and kind treatment, are just
the conditions man demands for his
own comfort, and just what would be
