FatteninC Cattle.

The man that expects to make
money out OF raising and fattening
cattle for market must do things that
other men have to do In order to
reach success. Profits cannot be OBJ
tained by careless management. The
man that is going to fatten cattle IN
considerable numbers must have sheds
FOR shelter in bad weather, a good
sized feeding yard, racks as well as
troughs for feed. Moreover he must
Pc in shape to make the cattle com
portable at night no matter what he
weather may be. He must have q sup
ply of good water, and IL he is further
htted to warm this water in winter
so much the better. The man that
is finishing steers will in ordinary
years find corn and fodder the most
important and serviceable feed. 1t is
then the business OF the feeder to see
that the cattle yet just enough of this
20 keep them growing steadily. This
manner OF feeding can be learned only
by practice, for the gulf between too
little and too much is not wide. An
animal must never be fed so highly
as to get it of its feed. and, on the
other hand, 1t should not be permitted
to go hungry. Some feeders start III
with the intention OF fattening their
animals in three months. This Is not
easy to do and there are in this at
tempt many of the failures recorded.
If the process can be spread over a
year the work will be found easier to
accomplish, and the results more pro-
titable. In the one case man must
get his animals on full feed in the
shortest time possible, while in the
other case the cattle can be brought
onto full feed gradually.

A VacteIinl War.

Investigations have shown that bac.
terra wage a fierce war among them
selves, just as do the grasses and
weeds that clothe the surface of the
earth. II Is common remark that
blue grass will drive out other kinds
OF grasses. So do certain kinds OF bac-
terra destroy or drive out other kinds
OF bacteria. Not that the one KIND
feeds IN the other kind But one kind
takes possession of the food supplies
and the others perish from lack Of
sustenance. In milk, when It is drawn
there appear numerous. bacteria. The
Tactic acid ferments are few in num-
ber, yet these are the blue grass that
Is to drive out all other kinds. For
the first few hours after milk is drawn
the miscellaneous bacteria increase
and seem to have possession. But in
twelve hours the Tactic acid bacteria
have increased enormously. In few
hours more the miscellaneous bacte-
ria have about disappeared. AS days
go on and the cream ripens the lac
tic acid bacteria become as high as 9s
per cent of all and in some cases 10t
per cent, all other forms having dis
appeared. Later the Tactic acid bacte.
ria themselves are destroyed by their
own products. These facts are OF in
terest as showing a possible increase
in healthfulness Of milk and cream az
1t grows older. 1t may be that dis
ease germs that get in are Themselves
destroyed by the lactic acid ferments
1t is a field that has not yet been
widely explored.

word of commendation by the stage
manager for the way she carried her
self In the ball scene. She was not a
bit frightened and was worried only
lest somebody in the audience might
recognize her But that would be m
possible with her makeup. It ran
along very nicely until the third night,
when as she glanced out at the audi
ence the first face she saw was that
OF Tom. Yes. Tom, right there in the
fourth row in the parquet. In her
surprise and CONSERVATION she dropped
hef fan and nearly upset the scene.
She stood staring at the familiar face
as in a trance until harsh voice from
the wings recalled her.

1t was the stage manager. and she
recovered herself instantly. picked up
the fan gracefully and went on with

over she went to the dressing room

The uc..iAn tIy In Kentucky.


II. b. Hersey, Director Kentucky
Weather Bureau: Since the recent ad-
vance in the price of wheat, this crop
has become favorte with Kentucky
farmers and the acreage sown has
steadily increased. With this increas-
ing acreage, there has been grow
ing abundance of the Hessian fly. Last
years sowing suffered especially, ow
Ing to a prolonged period of mild
weather at the time Of planting.
Probably very little of what was sown
in some localities escaped injury.
This injury suffered by late-sown
wheat has led some farmers to become
skeptical as to the advantage resulting
from late planting. The skepticsm Is
unwarranted by the facts, when all
are known and considered. 1t is well
enough understood here that when
cold weather comes, and especially
after few very heavy frosts, the
adult mosquitoes that frequent dwell
ings disappear. The Hessian fly Is a
smaller, but has the same general
form, long and slender legs, etc. AS
an adult, 1t does not endure cold any
better than a mosquito, and the fact
explains why delaying planting as
long as practicable results in less in
jury to wheat The adult Hessian flies
have simply placed their eggs on other
wheat and have perished before the
late planted wheat came up.

way, there was no backing out now

left her. So perturbed vas she that
she scarcely noticed that the call boy

"All right" responded "Jen:"
"they'S be around on the stage after
it's ov~r. Freddie's a friend of the
press agent"
Fannie had only one more scene on,
the last, and her disguise was more
complete in that. She eyed Tom mar
rowly and decided that he had not
recognized her. He was laughing and
chatting with a companion-a sporty
looking character, and looked not at
all perturbed.
After the last scene she gave the
other two girls the right OF way in
the dressing room, as they were in a
hurry to keep their engagement. She
heard the introductions on the outside
and overheard the discussion between
"Jen" and Freddie" as to which res
taurant they would go to. While it
was still going on she completed her
dressing. opened the door and walked
out-and directly into Tom.
"Fannie!"
TOM"
The exclamations were identical as
to time and infection. Which was the
most surprised is matter of conjec-
ture to this day. Yes, there was Tom

The ProalIe.. Cow.

The profitless cow is subject that
has been harped on now for a good
many years. but, we are sorry to re-
late, she still remains in the land. A
COW census would show that SO far as
the farmer is concerned, half OF the
cows could be sent TO the butcher
without loss to their owners The
public would OF course be the loser
for definite amount OF milk would
be taken out of trade. and the remain
der would be in such demand that the
price would be enhanced. On tho
farmers side, however, the result
would mean profit. Ultimately tho
general public might get its milk as
cheap as at first, for the poor cows
would no longer produce poor cows
but the entire supply of calves would
come from profitable mixers. Now
year after year the farmer puts cer-
tain sum OF money in the way OF feed
into his COW and gets back the same
sum. He throws in his work Most
OF the men that are doing this do not
know It, for they have never kept an
account OF what they are doing. They
have no idea az to the results from
their milking operations. They take
it for granted that the hard work they
are putting in is profitable. Little by
little the poor cows are being weeded
out of the herds, but progress is slow.
We need to use more universally the
milk scales, the Babcock test and th'

New Zealand summer Butter

The New Zealanders are preparing
to invade in earnest the English and
other European markets with their
butter. They say they are not afraid
OF the presence in the market of 81
berian and Russian butter. They ar
que, and that rightly, that the geo
graphical position OF New Zealand
gives her an advantage not possessed
by any European nation. Her location
In the southern hemisphere makes 1t
possible for her to be turning out fresh
grass butter when Europe is buried in
snow. Winter dairying is not a great
factor in northern Europe and will
not be in this generation. New Zealand
needs only follow summer dairying.
She can ship her butter to Europe and
have 1t reach there at a time when
butter is at Its highest price on ac-
count OF dry feed and winter eondi-
tions. In other words at the season
OF the year when butter sells highest
In Europe It is being made cheapest
In the southern hemisphere.

Harmful Food, Hard to Prove.

The pure food bills that are based
on the discovery in them OF deleterious
substances are practically impossible
OF enforcement. A judge must depend
on expert testimony for the determine

tist comes on the stand and declares
that a certain drug in food is harm
less, that testimony carries weight, no
matter how many thousands of other
scientists declare that 1t Is harmful
The Judge is not in position to sum
mon all the experts in a nation. An
illustration OF this is shown in the
verdict OF an English judge recently
Food preserved with borax was found

nesses to testify that borax is a great
help to the digestion. The Judge took
the side OF the defendant in the case.
The natural inference is that milk So
adulterated would not be harmful. but
we have a great mass of circumstan-

suited in the death OF many children
