Among certain people there is a
strong idcG that nothing IS worse for
dogs than salt, but as 4 matter Of Fact :,
when administered in small quantities,
it materially assists the process of eli.
gcstIon. There is no doubt, however,
that to give dogs or other animals broth
of potliquor in which salt pork o: ba-
con has been boiled would be almost
equivalent to giving them small lose
of poison. The use OF salt among
horses, cattle and sheep is advocated
by the highest veterinary authorities.
Pigs, on the contrary, are extremely
susceptible TO the POISONOUS influence
of the agent, and experiments have
been made which had, after small doses
regularly administered, fatal results.
Uabitua!y, as a matter of course, all
animals consume Il certain portion Of
salt, as it exists in certain proportions
in most articles OF food.

outer surface to the required size. Then
the cobs are successfully driven on a
narrow hickory stick. 1t fits closely in
to the hole bored in the center of the
corn cobs.
The hickory stick is cut the exact
length of the zane if the cane is to be
straight, that is without a crooked han
die. The end is then rounded.
A filing, the exact ingredients of
which Mr.. Stacey prefers not to dis
close, is then rubbed over the cobs and
when the surface has been made
smooth the .hellac and varnish are add
ed.
In case a crooked handle is to be af-
fixed to the top of the can an iron rod
is inserted in the cob making the han
die and crooked into the hole in the top
cob. This is necessary because a hick-
DRY stick could not be crooked and re-
tain its durability.
The canes which Mr.. Stacey presented
to Messrs. Francis and Thompson were
fitted with silver plates bearing the
names of the donor and the recipient.
Mr.. Stacey is at present confining his
attention particularly to the canes. He

corn cobs, Mr.. Stacey says he has al
ready been offered $50. But he is not

In his first attempts to make the orr
cob canes Mr.. Stacey found that the
cobs shrunk after he placed them on
the hickory rod when exposed to heat,
and left spaces ct the joints.
To overcome this difficulty Mr.. Sta
cey exposed the cobs to a heat of 100
degrees before placing them or the rod.
After that there was no shrinkage.
He explains that the inner portion

IT.
WESTERN CORN AND CATTLE,
What the Big Crops Mean for the
Farmer and for the Consumer.

Philadelphia Record: The record
breaking corn crop in the Western cora
states means q revival of the cattle feed
ing industry, and this, in turn, means a
, forthcoming decline in the prices of
middle grades of beef. Last year the
corn crop did not come up to expecta-
tons and stock coming in from the
ranges in the fall could not be fattened.
A combination of meat packers took ad-
vantage of this untoward state of af-
fairs to mark prices up and discover, if
possible, the maximum figures that the
traffic would bear. Domestic consump-
ton was sharply curtailed, while for
eign export trade shrank in volume I'M
der the influence of arbitrarily advanced
prices. Public discomfort was rife and
found expression in demands for legal
restriction of huge combinations of mid
dlemen, who controlled practically the
entire meat supply of the country.
Beneficial nature has stepped in with
potential energy to set aside the
schemes of traders in public misfortune,
and to encourage al industry that needs
no syndicate to assure prosperity. In
five cattle-feeding st~ates-Kansas, Ne
braska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Color
ado-most of the huge corr crops this
year will be put into fat cattle for the
general market. Experts in the trade
estimate that not less than $500, 900
cattle will be fed in these states alone
during the ensuing 80 days, together
with nearly 10000 900 sheep. The con-
centration of channels and agencies of
distribution has had no effect upon the
enormous and practically independent
industry of the Western cattlemen,
High prices for beef and mutton have
stimulated production to extraordinary
activity; new stock yards have been es-
tablished; new capital has been attract
ed to the business and conditions of
supply readjusted quickly to the in
creased public dimand. Thus additional
employment has been furnished to thou
sands of enterprising men, while a large
domestic market is assured for the lead
ing product of the Western agriculture.
What has been accomplished is, in
fact, a restoration of the economic bal
ance between two important and vital
factors of American industry. A 2,OO0,-
100000 bushel corn crop will no longer
mean a nominal export price, with
Western farmers burning their corr for
fuel instead of sending it to market.
A higher level not only of production,
but also Of consumption has been at
tanned. and both agriculturists and cat
tie raisers may face the future with
confidence undisturbed by fears of crop
failure. Such apprehension, moreover,
should be largely lessened at this time,
in view of the rarity of lean years and
the instructive experience and heavy
profits of propitious seasons. With a
fair field open to corn and cattle grow
ers, they and the American people may
bid defiance to all trust combinations
that seek to engross the food of the
populace.

WHY Thew Fail.

1t is to be regretted that so much of
the work and financial resources of the
several county agricultural societies are
almost compelled to be diverted into
schemes for the sensational entertain
ment of the very people who more than
any others specially need the instruc-
tive education on agricultural lines
which it is the mission of the fair to
supply. The high diving, parachute
dropping, snake eating, Punch and
Judy, merry go round, red lemonade
patronage is catered for, while the real
mission of the fair is obscured by Civ
ing $500 for a 2:30 trotting race and SO
premium for the best COW or the best
horse in the county. AS a result of this
unwise policy scores of county fair as
sociations have either thrown up the
sponge or else are on their last legs.

If a farm will rent so as to bring in 5
per cent on what it would sell for. it is
much better to keep the land than to
sell it and try to place the money at
interest. The late custom of taxing
moneys and credits and the difficulty
of finding desirable loans make the land
the better investment for money by
far.
