ReseedinQ the Plains.

The reseeding Of the plains grasses
while important, is no light task. The
cattle and sheep herder on wild lands
cares nothing about the future. Find
ing good feed, he continues to overpas-
ture and overrun, until the earth is
tramped solid and the plants virtually
eaten down to the roots, and then
seeks pastures new, going on with the
work of destruction over and over
again. The soil, also, produces less
and less, until at length the land be-
comes bare desert, and the i'll effects
of this savage procedure is felt hun
dreds and hundreds of miles away. In
the summer the parched and heated
earth gives rise to cyclones and 81
moon winds that scorch and wither
vegetation even to the Mississippi riv-
er and eastward. It will take more
years to again cover the plains with
grass than it has taken the reckless
squatter herds to feed it off. In fact,
it never can be done. unless stock can
be kept off the seeded ground for
three years, or at least so carefully
pastured the second and third year as
to leave the ground fairly covered with
oliage.-Jonathan Periam in Inter
Ocean.

Deformed Chicks,

while the faults Of incubation are
responsible for many of the deformi-
ties found in the chickens, and un-
doubtedly weaken others in ways
which are not so apparent to us, one
cannot state that the chickens which
come from the egg in developed con-
dlt1on and can eat ever die on account
OF weakness due to the Incubation
says a report Of the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station. In my experience
SO Tar the weak chickens. when prop
erly handled, seem to have DEVELOPED
and grown as rapidly as the stronger.
However, those which were Matched
incompletely developed or with Grip
pied members. as the legs or beak,
have not been able to survive in all
cases. Under the even temperature
system, however, the weaklings, when
separated into hovers by themselves,
grow unexpectedly we'll, and may at
tain some weight. AS practical mat
ter, however, all such weaklings and
cripples should be destroyed as soon
as Matched. TO the poultryman who
can devote but little attention to them
they would prove an annoyance.

Mites on Cattle and Sheep.

The mite which causes cattle itch,
or mango, is closely related to the
mite which causes sheep. scab-both
belonging to the same genus and
species, but are different varieties. The
sheep-scab mite will not attack cat
tie, nor will the cattle mite attack
sheep or other animals. The itch mites
are found to be very numerous upon
affected cattle, and a very small guam
tity of debris from an actively infest-
ed area of the skin will often reveal
surprisingly large number of the
parasites. These mites may be re-
moved from an animal and retain their
vitality for long time. Specimens
have been collected and kept in small
glass bottles in the laboratory at the
ordinary temperature of the room dur
ing the winter months, varying from
Is degrees F. during the night to 80
degrees F. during the day, which
would live and remain active from
eight to eleven days. Exposure to
bright sunlight, however, would kill
most of the mites in a few hours

Students on Stock Farms.

A communication to The Farmers
review from the Iowa Agricultural
college says: The department of ami
maj husbandry of the Iowa Agricul-
tural college has succeeded in placing
large number of it's students - on
prominent stock farms during the
summer vacation. These positions are
beneficial to the student in two ways.
First and most important, it affords
them an excellent opportunity of ia
mlllarizing themselves with the meth
obs OF, stock farming in vogue on the
most successful stock farms on the
continent. Secondly, they receive a
liberal compensation for their services,
which aids them in defraying their
expenses during the school year. Elk
perlence gained in this way serves the
student an excellent purpose in after
life, whether he decides to return to
manage the home farm, to pursue ag-
ricultural instruction work or to as
sumo the responsibility of managing a
stock farm. During the past few
months the department has received a
great many requests for competent
men to manage stock farms. Some
these positions have been filled, but
so far the demand has been greater
than the supply. In the future, how
ever, the college should be in po-
sltlon to supply men exceptionally
we'll qualified for this line of work.

Prices for Poultry Products.

From Farmers Review: In a re-
cent issue the Farmers Review asked
it's readers to report on the prices they
are receiving for poultry and poultry
products. In reply I will say, we are
receiving as follows: Eggs, IS cents:
hens, 9 cents per pound; broilers, &C.
cording to size, 1919 to 16 cents per
pound. In other words, we receive
within one and one-half cent per pound
OF the price quoted in the St. Louis
daily report of the market. Our coun-
ty is traversed in every nook and cor
ner by huckster wagons, and the prod
ucts are paid for at the farmers door.
1t does not, therefore, pay the farmer
to take them to market.-A, L. Ham,

REFORM IN NEW ZEALAND.

Auckland Woman Proposes Cooperative
System Of Domestic Work,
From PARKWAY New Zealand comes
suggestion of reform in housekeep-
ing that ought to be of value to Amer
lean women. Mrs. Martindale Of
Auckland is on a visit to this country
and thinks she has a mission-the re-
form Of the methods employed in the
household. The present system,
where the mistress of the house SUI
perintends all it's departments and
carries on the work by means of two
or three servants, Mrs. Martindale lik-
ems to the method in the. old feudal
castles. If spinning, weaving, bread
making and brewing have already been
satisfactorily removed from the house
hold, why may not the cooking, dust
ing and polishing become specialties
as we'll? she asks. At some central
kitchen the meals could be served and
sent to the home in covered carriages
or cases so constructed as to retain
the heat. In the agricultural districts
of Germany, where the houses are close
together and the men go considerable
distances to their work, wagons were
sent out with hot dinners for the
workmen at noon and again with an
other meal in the afternoon. The bill
of fare in. that country is also more
Systematically arranged, the dishes
supplementing each other in such a
way as to provide nourishment for the
whole body. The great advantage OF
this scheme, according to Mrs. Mar
tindale, is to give the mother time to
care for her own children, reading,
talking or playing with them. "The
young man would not be able,'' she
said; Ito think of. the favorite pudding
his mother used to make, but he
would remember that his mother used
to talk to him of his lessons asd his
play, his work and his amusements. -
She thinks it possible that a Coop
erative system of the sort outlined
might raise the standard, Of domestic
helpers and induce girls of good fam
lily, who had gift for cooking, to fol-
low that pursuit, rather than to seek
employment in already overcrowded
professions. The training Of girls To
become children's nurses is perhaps
one step taken in this direction.

What Might Have Been

Sonoma, Mich, July 21st-Mr. Delos
Hutchins of this place says: IF

years ago I would not now be crippled

Mr.. Hutchins spent from 1861 to 1864
in the swamps of Louisiana as North
ern soldier, and with the result that he
contracted rheumatism which gave
him much pain till Mr.. Fred Parker, the
local druggist, advised him to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills. The first two
boxes did not seem to help him very
much, but Mr.. Parker, knowing that
Dodd's Kidney Pills would eventually
cure him, pressed Mr.. Hutchins to con-
tinue, and by the time four boxes were
used, the short, sharp, shooting pains
which had tortured his back, hip and
legs, were entirely gone. Mr.. Hutchins
says: II cannot tell you how much bet
ter am feeling. If it were not for the
way my hands, feet and knees are
drawn out of shape, would be about
as good as ever.'

Poultry Points. Picked 10.

If a LIAM wants to show birds he
must raise only good stock and that
in abundance. The man that raises
only a dozen birds year stands less
chance of having winning birds than
does the man that can raise hundreds.
In that case he finds it easy to get
together a few exceptional birds. In
this connection we must remark that
in case the breeder is looking to con-
tests in the show room he will need
to make study of the points of birds
himself that he may when he goes to
the show take only his very best in
stead of inferior stock.
Gull rigidly. Always be on the look
out for the poorest specimens of birds
and get rid of them as soon as found
and as fast as found. To permit the
culls to go right on producing more
culls or what should be culls is, a mis-
take. The best thing to do with culls
is to send them to the butcher, and If
there is danger of his selling them for
breeders send them to him dressed.

Oats for Horses.

Horses nurtured on oats show mettle
that cannot be reached by the use of
any other feeding stuff. Then, too,
there is no grain so safe for horse
feeding, the animal rarely being seri-
ously injured if by accident or other
wise the groom deals out an over-sup-
ply. This safety is due in no small
measure to the presence of the oat
hull, which causes a given weight of
grain to possess considerable volume,
because of which there is less liability
of mistake in measuring out the ra-
ton further, the digestive tract can
not hold quantity of oat grains suf-
ficient to produce serious disorders
Unless the horse is hard pressed for
time or has poor teeth, oats should be
fed in the whole condition. Musty oats
should be avoided. Horsemen general
ly agree that new oats should not be
used, though Bensingault, conducting
extensive experiments with army
horses, arrived at the conclusion that
new oats do not possess the injurious
qualities attributed t. them.-Feeds
