Long Horns Passing Away.

The famous Texas steer, about
which so much has been written in
history, and which until quite re-
cent times has figured in the develop
ment Of the great southwest, is fast
becoming extinct. The Texas steer
and it's companion, the cowboy, are
both passing" and will be known
soon only in fiction and history.
The "'Ionghorns" are vanishing before
the onward movement of the blooded
stock of the north and east. Ger

from Texas, when SO years old, had
pair of horns measuring nine and

Irriration by Pumpinr

In our western country and even in
some localities in the central west,
considerable irrigation has been done
by means of pumps. Some declare
that irrigation by means of pumps
can never amount to much. But we
know that this practice is as old as
civilization. and this mode of irriga-
ton has been employed i'll some parts
of the world successfully for centu-
ries. There are many places in our
western states where from five to Is
acres of land are irrigated by pumps
driven by windmills. Doubtless the
future will see the further utilization
Of the pump, whether driven by wind
or by other force-Farmers Review.

TWISTED STOMACH WORM.
Parasite That Is Causing Consider
able Trouble Among Lambs at
the Present Time.

A press bulletin just issued by D. a.
w. Biting, of the Purdue university
experiment station, says that the past
wet season has been very favOra BILE to
the development of animal parasites
and tie effects are now being realized
in the very great loss of lambs due to
twisted stomach worms. The symp-
toms are dizziness, loss of appetite, in
creased thirst; diarrhoea may or may
not be present; some show an accumu-
lation of fluid between the jaws;
grinding of teeth; stiffness of back
and hind parts; tagging behind the
Rock. In acute cases there may be ev-
licences of pain, as collie, eating unusu-
al material and much bloating. Some
die suddenly without showing much
evidence of disease, but most linger
week or two. Old sheep are not much
affected. The worm-one-half inch
long and thread-like-is found in the
fourth stomach. If a lamb be killed
and the stomach be opened at once,
these worms will be found of a pink
ish color, but if the lamb dies and the
stomach be not opened for a couple
of hours, the worms will be white and
matted together, resembling fbers of
food.
The treatment is as follows: Take
one part of coal tar creosote and 100
parts Of water and mix well. With a
two-ounce hard rubber syringe hav-
ing a short bit of rubber tubing on the
end, administer one syringeful to each
lamb. Use care not to hold the head
too high or to force the dose too rap
idly. SO as to cause strangula
With such an arrangement a whole
flock may be easily treated. One to
three treatments given a few days
apart may be necessary. 1t is also a
good policy to turn the lambs off the
regular pasture into the corn field.
They will do little damage to the corn,
and in eating the lower blades and
grass get food free from all contami-
nation. Yarding and giving dry feed
may also be resorted to. The main OBJ
ject is to get the sheep off the infected
pasture.

Keep the Hens Comfortable.

Fowls are subject to cold in the head
cold on the bowels, lung diseases,
throat difficulties and all the ailments
arising usually from colds, dampness
or sudden changes of weather, says P.
H. Jacobs. Even when they are pro-
vided with a warm coop change in
the direction of the wind may cause the
fowls to be subject to draughts of air,
to be followed by the same troubles
that would likely have befalIen human
beings under similar circumstances.
When the hens have colds they will not
lay, and for that reason every precau-
ton should be taken to protect them
from dampness, chilling winds and sud-
den changes. Give plenty of fresh air,
but not as draught, and allow the
house to be freely ventilated during
the day, but when the birds are on the
roosts they must be snug and warm

hot water boiler in the house is con-
nected with the pipe, e f, which as be-
fore stated supplies the barn with
cold water.
Then all that is necessary to fill the
barn tub with warm water is to open
the valve b, and shut valve a, thus let
ting the warm water from the house
boiler into the pipe which goes to the
barn and shutting off the flow of cold.
This clever little scheme has worked
successfully on an up-to-date farm in
Amherst, Mass, and has furnished
warm water to four cows and two or
three horses for several winters. The
only objection is that the good house
wife sometimes objects to having her
supply of hot water exhausted two or
three times day.-Orange Judd Far

NEGROES DON'T MIGRATE.
Some Interesting Facts About the
COlored Race Revealed by the
Recent Census.

There were 6 ,5OOOOO colored persons
in the United States in 1880, $500, 900 in
1890, and 8,S0OOOO in 1900. A"generaI
movement" of colored inhabitants from
one state to another or from one sec
ton of the country to another, due to
economic, political or hygienic reasons,
has been declared to be in progress at
intervals of two or three years since
the close of the civil war.
But the figures of each succeeding
census prove that the colored popula-
ton of the United States is by no means
migratory; it changes little year BY

Minneapolis Up Over Two Cents

JULY CLOSED IT 1850; MAY Is 5-Sc
Damage Reports From Drought Dis
tricts ncreasinE-News of
IL Bull Day.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce,
April 23.-Wheat was very strong this
morning and active. May sold UP over a
cent in the early trades and by II o'clock
was selling at 7i1sc, July going
to 75Ac. The weekly govern
ment crop review of yesterday giving
general summary of conditions and show
ing moisture deficiency in most of the i'm
portant states was a help. With this
there were more unfavorable reports from
the southwest Kansas City wired that
was clear over q wide area, and the map
showed the rain distribution very light.
There were conflicting reports. The Atch-
tson railroad officials gave it out that
there is no damage sufficient to cause
alarm and that wheat Will stand even
some days yet before it will be too late
for rains to work a revival. This report
is, of course made up from the viewpoint
of future railroad tonnage, and if 1t has
any leaning it would naturally be toward
the optimistic side. Liverpool was strong
and closed A@7sd higher. The forecast
Is for fair weather tonight and Thursday
in Illinois, Indiana. Missouri and Iowa;
fair tonight and warmer in Kansas, and
for fair weather tonight and Thursday in
Minnesota and the Dakotas. The Indiana
reports make conditions below the aver
age in that state. Secretary Gage Of the
Iowa crop report notes a general lack Of
sufficient moisture in the state, but finds
no serious damage as vet. Corn and oats
were strong with wheat, The Millers as
ISOLATION Of Kansas have figured the con-
ditions in that state at Sc. 1t was 73 on
April 1, according to the estimate of the
government. This was another help to
the strength. At noon July sold over 76c
and May touched 74Ac.
1t Is expected that deliveries in this
market on May will be heavy. The mills
have considerable wheat coming to them,
and it Is thought they will take the bulk
of 1t.
Primary points receive 2O3, 900 bushels,
compared with $4,000 last year, and pri-
mary shipments were 100000, against 1885,
600. Wheat and flour clearances equaled
100000 bushels. Minneapolis received 90
cars against 200 last year, and Duluth II,
against 26.
The market. was, wild. in, the closing
half hour. All sorts of bad reports began
coming from the southwest and at Kansas
City and st. Louis the country was re-
ported sending in buying orders. May
made squirt UP to 1880, and July sold
through II, striking 77Bc. 1t Is an old
1ash1oned bull market. May closed at
1o9sc, July at THO. and September at
751ac, and the market was strong at the
finish. Chicago May closed at 76Ac, and
Chicago July at 7S1s@Ac.tt
The cash market was firm as ever and
wheat sold a little better, if anything.
The trading basis was the same all
through There was more business in
