Shun the Hoof Burner,

That odor of burned hoofs which one
gets in passing blacksmith shop is an
offense to the nostrils, and the cause
of it should be an offense to any one
who has respect for the horse. This
burning of the hoofs every time the
animal is shod is lazy or Incompetent
mans makeshift for fitting the shoes,
and the practice is on par with the
use OF embalming fluid in milk to avoid
thorough washing of the cans. Now
and then a blacksmith may be found
with enough common sense and me-
chanlcal genius to fit n shoe properly
without burning the hoof. We would
go several miles out of our way to
have work done by him.-Rural New

HINTS FOR FARMERS


In reply to the inquiry of Pennsyl-
vania correspondent about the use of rye
| would say it will undoubtedly serve
most excellent purpose for a cover
crop under certain conditions. 1t is
not to be recommended for all pur-
poses, particularly on land that is de-
ficient In nitrogen. 1t should be borne
In mind that rye will add practically
no plant food to the soil when turned
under in the spring as a green manur
ing crop. On the other hand, legumi-
nous crops will probably add some
thing to the store of plant food already
in the soil. 1t is true that rye when
turned under as green manuring
crop may materially aid the succeed
ing crop indirectly. If the crop is too
alkaline, the plowing under of con-
siderable amount of green rye in the
spring will tend to neutrallze the soil.
The decomposition of the rye in the
soil would also tend to liberate the
plant food that Is in the soil. The rye,
however, will not add directly to the
store of plant food. Some of the vetches
or crimson clover would be preferred
If additional nitrogen is desired. Rye
is hardy, quick growing and will en-
dure the rigors of the winter well and
on this account is oftentimes highly
priced as cover crop. The purposes
for which the cover crop is desired
should determine whether rye is best

Lime and PhosphOric Acid.

Should lime and acid phosphate be

man who knows only pure chemistry
will be quick to say that it should not.
The lime would cause the soluble phos-
phoric acid to revert and become in
soluble. But the Ohio station tested

phate have better clover and grass
than the half plats receiving phosphate

1t is better to have everything in
good condition than to have to make
repairs when weather conditions force
it. All leaky roofs should be attended
to first, for they are COSTLY as they
cause destruction and loss in crops and
other conditions. Broken panes in the
sashos, loose boards, sagging doors,
managers or feed racks out of repair
should all now be promptly attended
to. There is nothing like having every
thing in perfect condition when it be-
comes necessary to house the stock and

came to this city about a month ago,
in company with her brother John and
sister Miss Nellie. The young lady had
been a sufferer from tuberculosis for
many years and the change was made
in the hope that it might prove bene-

gone, however, for this climate to af-

Idaho Springs Will
Have Foot Ball Eleven

Idaho Springs will, in all probability,
go into training in a short time, and it
is the intention of those in charge to
secure the best players that the dis
trict can produce. A coach will be
hired to get the boys in shape. All
candidates who have any ambition in
this line will be welcome for try-out.
During the last week the subject has
received general discussion, and all are
of the opinion that we have the proper
material in our midst to make the
eleven one of the strongest in the state.
1t is not the intention of the promot-
ers to play weak or second-class teams.
They are going after bigger game.
Many people in this city are of the
opinion that the d. A. G. eleven is the
kind to tackle and dates will be ar
ranged with the elevens from the col
leges and schools throughout the state.
OF course other games will be neces-
sary, in order to get the boys in shape
before the go against the d. A. C.'s.
That we have the material in this
city for a strong eleven, no one for a
moment doubts. Sid Varney, who has
the reputation of being one of the best
wrestlers in the state, is no novice at
the game. He will probably be placed
in the position of right or left end. C.
c. Weldon, one of the strongest and at
the same time, most active men in the
city, will be used for center rush, and
if any one succeeds in breaking
