DON'T CROSS BREEDS.
Good Advice That Is Not Needed ~
Well by Some Dairymen AZ
1t Should Be,

In this country there seems to be a
rccklessness concerning the crossing
Of breeds that is truly astonishing. TO
breed up is commendable, but cross
ing breeds is not breeding up. When
a man takes scrub COWS and breeds
them and their female progeny to
males of some good dairy breed he is
doing commendable thing, and help
ing both himself and the community
in which he lives. But when he tries to
cross two distinct breeds, such as the
shorthorns and Jerseys, and attempts
to continue that indefinitely he is on
the road that does not lead to success.
The usual argument is to use the dairy
cow to get calf that will have great
milking tendencies in her and to use
the beef animal in the same mating to
give the same calf great ability to lay
on beef. Poor, poor calf! How much
is expected of her! She must keep up
the reputation of both parents. It is
the old attempt to get something for
nothing, to cross so that the progeny
will make a certain amount of food
into butter and milk and also into
beef. Happy owner of such COW!
He will be able to get two values out
of every pound of feed. After the first
cross he will probably keep on cross
ing and as result will finally get
nothing or about that. The man tina
goes into reckless crossing of the
breeds is simply undoing the work of
past generations, at least if he uses
the milk producing strains with the
beef producing strains. The mixing of
blood is like the mixing Of color, the
more you have of one kind the less you
have of the other. Breed pure breeds
or breed up toward pure breeds, but
do not attempt to cross breeds for the
sake of getting the highest service of
each kind.-Farmers' Review.

The two boys were drawing their
small wagon, full of packages from

home. The older one pushed forward
steadily, but the younger was con.

that the pebbles on the road hurt his
bare feet. At last his brother turned
upon him with a mingling of reproot
and contempt:
Course there's stones in the road!"

road, and every Teller that comes along
has to get over 'em the best way he
can. You don't have to howl and tell
everybody whenever you strike one;
that doesn't help any"

HUN Ott SHE'D.
suggested in the accompanying cut.
A shed 20 feet square will afford
room sufficient for a flock of 40
sheep; it will give 60 feet of feeding
room or a foot and half of rack
for each sheep, and that is perfect
ly ample. Occasionally the upper
part, if occupied with nothing else,
can be utilized to good advantage as
lambing shed, in which the ewes
about to bring lambs may be safely
accommodated. If employed for this
purpose gradually sloping passage
with bars across every nine inches
to give foothold, should be used.
The front of the shed, as can be
seen, is half open, thing most de-
sirable for sheep, in that they RED
fresh air and are able to withstand
much cold if only kept dry. The
manure, too, may be left in such a
shed the whole winter, and if suffi-
cient litter is furnished, the sheep
will trample it so hard that there
will be no disagreeable odors
from it.
The shed, of course, will need feed
racks all around, on three sides, and
there may be short racks on each
side of the doorway, which will add
something to the rack room. It is
desirable to have the, open part, if
possible, face to the south.-Fred O.
Sibley, in Ohio Farmer.

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

Did you ever try putting salt on hay
as it is being moved away? Some
claim it is good plan.
The potato crop in Kansas this year
is immense and rs cents per bushel is
predicted for them by fall.
The scheme of placing all the cot
ton-oil mills of Oklahoma and Indian
territory in combination has failed.
There are many things to consider
in the growth and development of. a
crop besides the mere question of sup
plying the seeds or plants with soil
and water.
Farming is at high pressure in Kan
sas this season. A Franklin county
farmer committed suicide because he
could not get enough hands to take
care of his big crop.-Farmers' Advo-
cate.
The fertility of the fields should be
evenly distributed. The plant is sta
tionary and can only feed upon the
fertility within it's reach. If the soil
is made rich and poor in spots by rea-
son of applying manure in punches,
some plants will get too much fertil-
ity and others too little.
In farming, as in everything else, we
are largely the architects of our own
fortunes; we are mainly what we make
ourselves. Good luck is usually good
management; bad luck, bad manage
ment. The man who imagines that his
neighbors are trying to get the advan-
tage of him, or that the world is
against him, seldom succeeds.-Farm-
ers' Voice.

Fall SOvvn Alsike Glover.

About year ago noticed in some
agricultural paper that alsike clover
could be sown successfully in the fall.
1t had not been tried here, and I hest
tated before trying it; but, after talk
ing it over with some good farmers,
concluded to try it. On September 2
last I sowed with rye about four
quarts of alsike, and the same of tim
othy seed. It caught nicely, and now I
have an excellent seeding of alsike, it
being so high in most places that we
clip about a foot off in cutting the rye.
1 never saw a nicer catch of seeding,
and. my present experience would
prompt me by all means to SOW again
in the fall, but quite early.-H. C. Har-
pendin, in N. Y. Tribune.

Louis coats, these new ones are much

Lace collars are usual with them and the
sleeves are very baggy at the wrists. The
almost plain, tight-fitting Louis coat is
rarely seen. The skirt portion is either
plated, finished with applications of some
kind, or else trimmed with lace, braid and
VELVET ribbon. Even if not plated this
skirt hangs full. Sun-plaited skirts to
Louis coats are stunning, the body showing

THE SEED QUESTION.
If You Expect Good Results from
Poor Seed You Should Go Out of
the Wheat Business.

good Kansas farmer says: "'Any-
thing will do to SOW provided it will
sprout,' is an expression entirely too
common" No farmer would think of
keeping his scrub animals for breeding
purposes and selling his best to the
butcher. On the contrary he selects
with great care the best breeding,
buys the best males, imports, or buys
from importers, strains of established
merit and purity, while with wheat
a plant peculiarly susceptible to
deteriorating and injurious influences,
he is careless and sows what he can
not sell. Seed wheat should be pure
that is of one variety. It should be
we'll matured, full grown and free from
smut or other parasite OF fungoid
growths. It should also be free from
weed seeds, especially chess or cheat,
which being exceedingly hardy and
prolific, will take the field if it has a
chance, and is exceedingly difficult to
eradicate when once it has infested
neighborhood. Poor, shriveled wheat,
if sufficiently matured to sprout, will
under favorable conditions produce
good crop, but will surely cause the
variety to "run OUT in a few years if
continued sowing of the inferior stuff
is INDUCED in. Every farmer should
have a seed patch upon which he grows
wheat for seed. This he should give
the best care, should pillow deep and
early, keep it free from weeds, use the
best varieties and the purest seed, and
from the products of this patch sow
his larger fields. He might, with much
advantage, plant different varieties,
and SOW his general fields only with
such as have proved themselves suit
able to that locality. He could, ait COM
paratively small cost, exchange seed
with other farmers from time to time,
and in that manner grow the very best
quality and largest quantity.-Prairie
Farmer.

scissors. We have found these better
than knife. The skin is drawn to one
side and an opening is made with the
scissors between the last two ribs ~
inches long. Great care must be taken
not to injure the intestines.
The ribs are separated by the spring
hooks to expose the inside. The in
testines are gently moved out of the
way with the handle of teaspoon,
and the glands or testicles will be seen
attached to the back. The tissue
which covers them is torn open with
the hook, aided by the tweezers. The
gland is then twisted off by turning
the forceps. The other one is removed
in the same way.
When meat alone is desired, the
large breeds, as Brahma, Cochin, Lang
shan, etc., are best, but for carrying
chicks use the smaller and more in
dustrious breeds, as Leghorn, Game,
etc. The Plymouth Rock, Dorking and
are useful for either purpose.-Farm

Suitable Food for Ducks.

Ducks, like hens, eat great variety
of food, yet because the duck has no
distinct crop the food is passed more
directly to the digestive organs. It is
therefore very important that the
food be consumed in soft condition.
In nature the duck gathers most of it's
supply from streams, ponds, or
marshy places. This food, says Wat
sons Farm Poultry, consists of grow
ing shoots and roots of water plants,
snails and the larvae of various in
sects, together with small fish and
other aquatic life, Successful duck
raisers have learned a valua BILE lesson
from nature and give young ducks no
hard food. # :

Sift Cake Flour Twice.

Cake flour should always be sifted
twice, first when it comes from the
barrel and before it is measured,
next when the baking powder or the
soda has been added. If it is meas
ured before that first sitting you will
surely get too much of it for your
cakes welfare. On a damp day or
when the flour seems at all clammy
set it where it will dry without
browning before you are ready to
use it.

How to Make Chicken Broth.

How to Make Chicken Broth.
To make chicken broth nicely, take
an old chicken, clean it thoroughly,
cut it in rather small pieces, and put
it in deep saucepan covered with wa
ter; let it boil slowly for four or five
hours, renewing the water, if neces-
sary. Then strain and set it aside over
night; it ought to be formed into a
thick jelly in the morning, and will
keep for days. A little rice or barley,
boiled very soft, added to tie chicken
broth, makes nice variety.
