Musolino was the most notorious OF
the many brigands Italy has produced
and it cost the Italian Government
upward of $5000O0 to capture him.
Nearly three years ago he was con-
victed of manslaughter and sentenced
TO term OF Imprisonment. He es-
capped and swore vengeance. and he
Kept his word. He killed the Judge.
who tried him, most of the jurymen.
and nearly all the witnesses who testi.
fed against HIM.
The scene OF his principal exploits
was in Reggie di Calabria After the
police showed that they were power
less either to capture him or check his
crimes, the Government sent n strong
military force under command of n
General to run him to earth. They
pursued him for months, but MusolIno
was everywhere aided by the peasants
ana managed to retain his freedom
until the fall OF 1901. wheJ be was
arrested near Urbino.

PIG FEEDING.

&
Results, of Experiments tTade at Ca
madam Experi Z entail Farm. "
The Canadian perimenta, farm au-
thorities have issued a report by Pro
fessor Frank T. Shut, chemist at the
farm, unon the character and causes
OF soft pork, softness in pork is afse-
rious defect, and 50 the question is of
great Importance to the Canadian ba-
con industry. Professor Shut sum
marizes the results of his experiments
as follows:
First.-That of all the grain rations
employed that consisting of equal parts
OF oats, peas and barley gave the firm
est pork. 1t may further be added that
the fat was deposited evenly and not
too thickly and that this ration gave
very thrifty growth.
Sec0nd.-That no difference could be
observed in, the firmness of the pork
from the preceding ration whether fed
soaked or dry.
Third.-That when half the grain "a
SAOh SohSlSIo VI tuC
pork shows an increased percentage of
olein-in other words, tendency to
Softness.
Fourth.-That in this ration (half
cornmeal, half oats. peas and barley in
equal parts the feeding of it boiled
gave slightly higher olein content,
but this is only apparent when the av-
erage from the four pens is taken into
consideration.
Fifth.-That, considering the effect
of feeding the ration of oats, peas and
barley during the first period to live
weight of hundred pounds and corn
meal during the finishing period, COM
pared with the reverse of this plan
that is, corn first, followed with oats,
peas and barley-we may conclude
that the former gives frmer pork.
Sixth.-That in both methods men,
toned in the preceding paragraph no
marked difference was to be observed
from the ration fed dry or previously
soaked, though taking an average Of
the two groups on each ration the
"dry" feed gave a somewhat higher
olein content.
Seventh.-As when cornmeal form
ed half the first period ration and the
whole of the second period ration, the
resulting pork was somewhat softer
than from that of any of the rations
already discussed. We conclude that
the longer the period during which the
corn'is fed as large proportion of the
ration the softer will be the pork.
Eighth.-That beans produce soft
and inferior pork. The growth Of the
pigs so fed was poor and miserable
and the deposition of the fat meager.
Ninth.-That cornmeal fed exclusive
~ as the grain ration, either dry or
previously soaked, results in an ex-
tremely soft fat, the percentage of
olein being considerably higher than
from any other ration tested. The
pork was of an inferior quality. Here
also we noted the miserable growth Of
the animals. the ration in no sense be-
ing an economical one.

In writing about the care of horses
an eminent English army officer has
the following to say:
Regularity of exercise is an i'm
portant element in the development of
the highest powers of the horse. The
horse in regular work will suffer less
in his legs than another for he be-
comes gradually and thoroughly ac-
customed to what is required of him.
The whole living machine accommo-
dates itself to the regular demands OH
it, the body becomes active and well
conditioned, without superfuous fat,
and the muscles and tendons gradually
develop. Horses in regular work are
also nearly exempt from the many ac-
cidents which arise from overfresh-
ness. AS proof of the value of reg
ular exercise, we need only refer to
the stagecoach horse of former days.
Many of these animals, though by no
means of the best physical frame,
would trot with heavy load behind
them for eight hours at the rate of ten
miles an hour without turning a hair,
and this work they would continue to
do for years without even being sick
or sorry. Few gentlemen can say as
much for their carriage horses. No
horses, in fact. were in harder condi-
ton. On the other hand, if exercise be
neglected, even for few days, in
horse il high condition, he will put on
fat. Ee has been taking daily the
large amount of material needed to
sustain the consumption caused by his
work If that work cease suddenly,
nature will! Notwithstanding, continue
to supply the new material. and fat,
followed by plethora and frequently
by disease, will be the speedy conse-
quence."

Horses Exported.

The number of horses exported from
this country during the eleven months
ended Nov. 80 was 24.S9O as compared
with 27,664 in the corresponding Pc
riod last year. OF these 14.001 went to
Belgium, 6.435 to Holland, 1896 to
France and 1858 to other countries.
The value Of the horses exported was
f548.112 as against f628.S93 in the cor
responding period last year. During
the eleven months 39,136 horses were
against $4,000 last year. The
United States sent 1880. against 3d.

The following query was sent to
The Breeders Gazette: "Please tell
the feeds to be used with herd of
beef cattle fed for sale to get the best
results for the money with grain as
follows: Ground corn, $21; oats, $24;
bran, $40; hnseed oil meal, $31. May
gluten meal be proftably fed? Is there
any danger of causing blindness in
feeding cottonseed meal?
w. A. Henry gave this answer:
If fat only is desired, use a ration
consisting of three-fourths cornmeal
and one-fourth bran. If it is desired
not only to have the animals fat, but
in the finest bloom. then use one-half
cornmeal and one-fourth oats or bran
and one-fourth linseed oil meal. Gluten
meal and germ oil meal can be sub
stituted for the bran or linseed oil meal
without loss. Cottonseed meal will not
produce blindness in fattening cattle
unless it is fed excessively and for a
considerable period. 1t is the abuse
and not the legitimate use of this high
ly concentrated material that brings
trouble with fattening cattle.
Registered Bulls.
The demand for registered bulls OF
the various beef breeds ought to re-
main good for years to come. says Live
Stock and Wool Growers Journal.
Breeders of registered cattle have it
largely in their own hands to maintain
good prices, and this they can do If
they will make steers of the medium
to fair bull calves, although they are
from good families and subject to reg
istration. Nothing will hurt the regis
tered bull trade SO much as selling in
ferior animals for breeding purposes.
No matter how good the herd. there
will necessarily be some inferior ami
mails, and breeders can i'll afford to sell
such except for slaughter. Breeders
should work to create a permanent de-
mand for bulls. and this can only be
accomplished by selling animals whose
progeny will show up all right !.
Care of stock.
Feed and management have much TO
do with the health as we'll as thrift
ness of stock. says Kansas Farmer.
Young and growing animals require
feed which will make bone and muscle
rather than fat Bedding literally with
some dry material will add greatly to
the comfort of the animals during the
winter.
Keep Cattle Growing.
The aim in keeping stock should be
to secure the greatest growth in the
shortest time possible. The health and
vigor of all animals are much more cas-
fly retained by good care than regained
when once lost by improper treatment.

ton. Among horses of recent importa-
ton is Reynolds, four-year-old black
Percheron stallion Of good size and ex-

winner at the Paris exposition in 1900,
and many competent judges considered
him the best draft horse on the ground.
He was approved by the French gov

The government also granted him a

to keep him for the Improvement of

A Convenience Fer ElUlinE Manure
and Dirt In fhe Winter.
The Illustrations show dumping
sled for one or two horses which ali
Ohio Farmer correspondent considers a
convenience for hauling dirt and ma
nure that will be appreciated by many
His plan for its construction is as fol-
lows:
Take two pieces of s inch plank for
runners which connect with two cross
pieces of 2 by scantling mortised in
to the planks On inside of each run
ner nail or bolt securely at required
distance apart two uprights of about
~ by inch material. The distance
apart and length of these uprights will
be dependent upon the length of sled
box. Gouge out V shaped notch in
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1902-02-06


top of each of the two rear uprights
and make square or rectangular notch
in tops of two front ones.
Make a box of the dimensions thought
most suitable for the object in view, a
little longer than broad, however, in
all cases. Put 2by inch crosspiece
on bottom of box near the center.
Round off the projecting ends of this
crosspiece to fit in the tops of rear up
rights of runners. Put another lighter
crosspiece on bottom of box in front
Of the other, at right point to have its
projecting ends rest in the top notches
Of the front uprights. Over the ends
Of the center crosspiece that rest in the
rounded notches put iron straps or
clips to prevent the ends of crosspiece
from moving out of place and yet al
low them to turn in the notches. The
front of box can now be raised. the
center crosspiece on bottom acting as
a pivot by reason of it's rounded ends.
A framework is put inside of the
four uprights, extending under front
of box and being braced as is shown
in the illustration. To keep box from
dumping while the sled is being loaded
or in transit the front end is fastened
down to this framework by hinge
hasp and staple such as are used to
hold shut the lid of chest, a door,
etc. If the crosspiece which acts as
pivot is placed a little in front of box
center, the sled when evenly loaded
will dump itself as soon as hasp is dis
engaged. If little to the. rear of
center, the front of box will have to be
raised by hand when desiring to dump

it. The exact location Of the pivot
crosspiece will therefore determine the
ease of dumping, and the matter may
be settled to suit the wishes of the
builder Of sled.
When the box is in its horizontal po-
sition and the hasp is fastened, insert
a wooden or other pin in the hasp
staple in the place that would be oc-
cupied by paddock were the hasp
used as door or lid latch. Make an
end gate at the rear of the box. In
Fig. 2 A shows the box inverted in or
der to explain fully the manner of APP
plying the supporting crosspieces, and
B shows a side view of the sled and
makes plain the dumping idea.
While this kind of a dumping box
could be used on any size of sled, so
far as the main idea is concerned, it
would not be satisfactory if the box
were made too large, as the increased
height of the uprights. in this case
would make the sled inconyenient to
load and handle. On sled of size
adapted to one horse ordinarily, or two
horses in case of being loaded with
very heavy material, the sled is very
satisfactory. 1t is especially conven-
lent to have this sled stand where the
manure from the stable can be thrown
into the box, and when full hitch on
the team and haul it to the field and
dump it.
