FEEDING SCRUB CATTLE.
1t Is Largely n Speculation. and One
That Rarely Pays n Satisfac-
tory Profit.

In an able article written by Mr.. T.
F. b. Sotham, and published in the an
nual report of the Kansas state board
of agriculture, he says: "'Highly salts
factory results have been recorded
from feeding the grades of all the beef
breeds. What significant lesson is
taught by the preeminent fact that not
one single instance of a profit with
scrubs is recorded. Men who feed
scrubs do not care to advertise their
methods; a profit from them savors
too much of sharp practices. Men who
claim to have made money feeding
scrubs are few, and they are sly in
their operation. They buy anything
cheap; bulls, which they castrate and
dehorn; cock-horned, stunted three
year-olds are dehorned, in the expec-
tation of palming them off as year.
lings-anything to improve appear
ances. Yet the operations of these
feeders, if carefully investigated, will
show that they never get above mar
ket price for their corn, and men who
have borrowed money to buy this sort
of cattle and fed purchased corn in
Variably lost money, while for every
dollar profit made on scrub feeding
the same would have yielded far great
er results if fed to good stock. If in
isolated cases any real profit has been
made from feeding scrub cattle, it has
been invariably by owners of large
tracts of rich corn lands feeding their
portion of corn, which is mainly raised
by renters. In a majority of years it
is safe to say they do not receive
through their cattle the market price
for this corn, and in prof1t-yielding
years they have such large numbers
that small average profit realizes a
large sum. In this these big feeders
of cheap cattle are like the packers.
who, killing thousands of cattle per
day, are satisfied with so small profit
that a small slaughterer cannot live in
competition. Feeding scrub cattle is
largely speculation. Where feeder
does not own the corn, debt free, he
runs a dangerous financial risk. Scrub
cattle should be allowed to fill the
tins, off of grass, and that grass must
be cheap grass, in a country where it
is so plentiful and valueless that cattle
can be kept the year round for pit
tance. In such a section they NAV be
kept with only the loss of the profits
of what might have been" had better
stock been kept in their place.

arms. The rope is fastened in the
scantling back from the pulley wheel,
then passes through the movable
pulley over the pulley wheel and
drops to the ground, where it is
ready to lift with. The back end OF
the scantling is fastened to the arm
below by means of rope tied just
the right length, which can be shift
ed from one arm to another as need
ed. The hook on the movable pulley
is hooked on the gambrel when the
hog is raised to the arm, and the
pulley is then turned to the next
arm, and so on as needed. A hog
weighing $50 pounds can easily be
raised by this method.-Meritte S.
Atkins, in Agricultural Epitomist.

attorney said, DO your duty and the
time when Deppe's head was laid on
the block. Instead of a horrible spec
tacle, such as l once witnessed in a
Maryland county town when a man
was executed by hanging, the decapi-
tation was speedy, painless, l believe,
and absolutely clean. 1t was conduct
ed with calmness and decorum.
There was no spirting blood. Of
course blood flowed, but the witnesses

Judging from his own observations,
DR.. Westphal says that beheading is
more humane, yet more terrifying,
than hanging or electrocution, and
that conducted decorously and with

not arouse morbid and unwholesome

Distemper Among Horse.

Distemper is a disease common to
horses that, as rule, requires no
treatment, as it runs out and the ami
NAL gets well in about ten days. 1t is
recognized by swellings under the jaw
and sometimes below the ear, that
form assesses containing pus, and if
not lanced will in time burst of them
selves. The animals should not be
worked, but fed on good food, with
plenty of fresh water, and if bowels
are constipated quart of raw linseed
oil should be given carefully as a
drench by the mouth, never by the
nose, and if the kidneys are sluggish
give teaspoonful of powdered salt
peter once a day for several days.

Pleasant Valley People Greatly Excited
by Discovery of Artesian Well Borers.
The Trenton Times of Monday gave
the following news, which may be
taken with grain of salt.
Pleasant Valley, pretty section of
land nestled among the bills Just back
of Titusville, was excited to the high
est pitch yesterday and the farmers of
the district worked with desperate en-
ergy digging up their lands, for it was
believed that vein of hard coal had
been discovered by one of their num-
Der.
The man who was said to have made
the startling find is tiller of the soil
named Parker. lie was boring for nm
artesan we'll on his farm Saturday and
when a depth of nearly hundred feet
had been attained by the drill masses
OF black, eoal-like substance was
brought to the surface.
News spread rapidly in Pleasant
Valley and news of coal mine in the
locality went the rounds ut record
breaking clip. II was not until yes
terday, however, that the land owners
began the actual operations of search
ing for the treasure.
Undauntod by the driving rain they
piled the shovel and spade, digging
half matured fall crops ont of the
ground and tramplng upon that they
had spent many hard hours in seeding.
They Ind the fever as bad rs any
Wall street broker ever suffered from
and the chill October blasts that blew
over the valley seemed emily to make
them work the harder. Some of the
"wimin folks it is said, went even SC
far as to compose letters to Governor
Murphy asking for troops as soon n
the ''mines" were ready for working
and arranged all sorts of mir castle
for the way they were to live as mil
lionaire coal barons.
The fever has abated n tri1e o-day
but many of the farmers are still nj
work searching for traces of the coal
mine.
