Summer Care OF Horses.

Such spells Of hot weather as have
recently been experienced throughout
the country have taught a number Of
lessons that will be OF the greatest pos
sible value in meeting similar circum-
stances in the future. The recent
heated term has seen the advent Of the
"horse hat" a hideous straw ceneep-
tion which has come into vogue in the
large cities, but which apparently has
not found favor in the country. The
idea Of providing means of protection
for the heads Of horses working during
the hot hours Of the day is well enough
but it is very questionable whether the
straw hat dlls. the bill, SO to speak.
The flrst requisite in such protection
is to shade the head and at the same
time allow free circulation Of air be-
tween the hat and the head. This is
not done by the straw hat. Examine
ton has disclosed the fact that under
the hat the skin is hot and dry; c1rcu-
lation OF air has not taken place, hence
many horse-owners have discarded the
new pattern hat and devised other
means .ofs protection. =. The older .sform.
Of protection was better. It consisted

FEROC1oUS.. :.

Lib Vincent, one Of Wyoming's old
time cow ,punchers and now riding on
the Powder river ranges, says: that the
gray wolves of his section are legion
in number and as fearless as they are
ferocious. These gray and greedy
scourges OF the Powder river stock
areas do their raiding in bands rang
each band being organized and dis
ciplined under the leadership of an old,
dog wolf especially chosen for his
wariness, speed and endurance. To
this captain these gaunt and grizzled
marauders yield an implicit and un-
swerving obedience-a statement evi-
'denced from the fact that if one of
these wolf leaders is slain or crippled
his band at once amalgamates with
some other troop possessing a leader

venirs of the raid of a gray wolf band.
The cattle herds are open and easy

cattle fleeing from the pnrsuers and
thus rendering individual attack easy

rains the pastures kept =. free from
stock now will. furnish mulch more feed
and feed later in the season than If
tramped while dry. ..~
Sorghum, Kaffir corn, COW peas and
alfalfa make pasture after cattle be-
come accustomed to them, but great
care must he used in starting stock
on such pastures. AT the College we
fill the cattle with straw or hay in the
morning and then turn them on the
sorghum or other green crops only f1f-
teen minutes the first day, the next
day thirty minutes, and then increase
the time fifteen minutes each day un-
til we reach an hour and half, when
it Is safe to let them stay on all. the
time and not give them other feed.
Cattle turned on such pastures at first,
Il hungry, will often eat a few mouth
tuls and die In a few minutes or hours.
Rape sown AS late as September l
will furnish pasture tor hogs. Sow
Dwarf Essex rape, five pounds per acre
broadcast, or three pounds per acre
drilled. It will do to feed in six weeks
after seeding. An acre will pasture ten
to twenty hogs and as seed costs only
ten to fifteen cents per pound the cost
Is light. Rape is fair pasture for cat
. tie, but some dry feed must be given
with 1t to prevent securing. It takes
4 heavy frost to kill rape, so that it
furnishes late pasture, and Kansas
farmers should SOW a large acreage to
this crop.
Turnips should also he sown largely
as the seed is cheap, and If a crop is
secured the turnips will save "a great
deal OF other feed needed for the cat
tie, young stock and hogs.
We have not had success with late
sown millet, but If the fall should be
damp and cool, millet would make a
fair crop.
Wheat, oats and rye Will furnish a
large amount OF pasture il the season
is favorable, and while these crops are
in good condition cattle will do we'll

bonds are held mostly at home. The
japanese are the best agriculturists in
the world and every available inch of
their soil is cultivated, but they have
very little capital. The fact that for
eigners cannot own land in Japan dis
courages foreign capital from coming
in, and this must be changed. For
instance, as the law now stands the
b0ndholders of a railroad could not
foFeclose in case of default. Just now
new taxes have been levied on sugar
and certain other articles, and enor-
nous quantities Of sugar were brought
in before the tax went into effect.
This is lying in the custom houses be-
cause the importer cannot raise money
to get it out.
There is great fear Of revolt in
China because the people, of whom
there are 350,000,000 contained in 20
provinces, have lost faith in their rul-
ers, and one should not be surprised
by hearing that the Emperor or En-
press had been assassinated. Not
withstanding these deplorable circum-
stances, China offers large field for
enterprise and investment.
