soilinq Cattle.

From Farmers Review: Referring
to the profitableness or otherwise of
soiling mich cows, would say that so
far as we have pursued the practice of
soiling our cows. we have done so
chiefly for lack of sufficient pasturage
for all the stock we were keeping. Our
pasture land is partially woodland and
other untillable ground, which would
be waste II not pastured. Through
soiling and semisoiling Chat is. feed
ing good lot of green stuff morning
and night at the barn, in addition to
the grain) we have undoubtedly been
able to carry more stock, keep up the
milk flow better. and kept the stock
in better condition, than II they de-
pended upon the pasture entirely. We
think that there can be no universal
rule as to whether it Is profitable or
not to soil mich cows or other cattle.
IL. as in our case, man has land he
cannot till but can pasture, It is GER
tainly more profitable to pasture 1t
than to have the ground idle. We
periodically through the pasturing sea

pasture and soil them for a week or
two until the pasture gets caught
up" again. When we do this. we gen.

Polled Herefords.

In 1898 Gen. w. w. Guthrie of Atchi-
con, Kan, showed group Of cattle at
the ans-Mississippi Exposition at
Omaha that attracted much attention.
These cattle had Hereford character
istics, minus the horns, and General
Guthrie called them Pooled Kansans."
They had been produced by crossing
Hereford bulls on 'muley" cows, in
breeding being avoided by resort
again to Hereford stock. The bull
shown was said to get a good percent
age Of hornless calves. Since then the
interest has grown, the name Polled
Hereford has been adopted, and re-
Gently the American Polled Hereford
Cattle Club was organized, with head
quarters in Des Moines, Iowa; War
rem Cannon, secretary. The polled
variation Is not so common among
Herefords as among Shorthorns, and
this imposes a considerable disad-
vantage on one who attempts to fix
1t; but there are occasional registered
Herefords that have never developed
horns. An effort is now being made
to collect these animals into one
herd and thereby form the nucleus for
more extended operations. Such work
is commendable and will be watched
with interest.-Bulletin "a, Bureau of
Animal Industry.

Soaked Feed for Horses.

1t is often claimed that soaking feed,
especially hard grain, renders it more
easily masticated and improves its di.
gestibility. says bulletin ITO Of the De
partment Of Agriculture. 1t is doubt
full If the matter is as important with
horses as with some other classes OF
farm animals. It has been found in
experimental tests that healthy horses
with good teeth digested dry beans
and corn as well as the same material
that had been soaked In water for
"a hours. Soaking or wetting feed
may sometimes be of importance as
regards the health Of horses. Ac-
cording to the experience of an Eng
lish feeder, chaffed straw, which was
fed on account Of a shortage in the
hay crop, gave better results when
soaked than when dry. The dry ma
terial caused collie and constipation.
1t was also observed that the horses
relished soaked grain. 1t is believed
that the dust in hay causes heaves,
and, to avoid such trouble, both long
and cut hay, especially clover, is very
often dampened before feeding, to lay
the dust.

Recently while at the Iowa Agricul.
tural College the writer noticed the
ground in the hog yards Uttered with
excreted intestinal worms. The keep.
er explained that he had just given the
swine their semi-annual dose of worm
medicine. He said that 1t was his
observation that hogs were frequently
sick as result OF intestinal worms,
and that many times diseases arising
from worms were named cholera. This
would be the more likely to be the
case, as a large number of hogs might
be sick at the same time from the
same cause. This cause of disease is
too frequently overlooked, especially
by the farmer that has only few hogs
and gives them little attention. When
hog eats we'll and yet remains
stunted 1t may be guessed that worms
are at least a partial cause.

weeds,

We sometimes see the term "noxious
weeds" but we would inquire II all
weeds are not "noxious" (harmfuD
considered from the agricultural
standpoint. Whether weeds are nox-
ious or not depends on time and place.
II the land is not under cultivation,
far better is it to have weeds than
nothing. They prevent the ground
from becoming baked and hard. Who
has not seen piece of baked. hard
ground remaining for years without a
covering? A weed is not noxious II
It takes the ground after harvest and
protects ii from the sun and winds.
The quality OF nervousness comes In
when weeds are permitted to smother
the crop that the farmer is trying to
grow. They are especially noxious
when they grow in corn field during
a period of wet weather, when the
farmer cannot get onto the ground
with his cultivator.
Weeds, II permitted to grow In any
crop. sap its vitality by using up the
plant food In the soil. II they sue.
coed in attaining greater height than
the crop they are among they further
injure 1t by their shade. The best
way to fight weeds is to keep the
ground cultivated and not permit them
to get start. 1t is surprising how
little time 1t takes to go over land
that has been previously cultivated
during the season. II done at the
right time the cultivation will be eff.
fective in keeping down the weeds,
and the labor will be far less than 1t
would be were the weeds permitted to
get a start.

One day last week prominent rail.
road man of Austin, Tex, stepped
into restaurant for quick lunch.
Soon after taking his seat he noticed
one of the judges OF the court of APP
peals come in and take seat on the
opposite side Of the room. The waiter
soon appeared and took the judges or
der and delivered it to the kitchen in
the rear OF the building as 1t was
given him. He followed 1t up by call
ing out. "One Katy Flyer!" The rail.
road man was naturally interested in
this and asked the Judge what was
up--how it was that he was ordering
whole train for lunch. The judge
seemed puzzled as the railroad man,
and, in consequence. the waiter was
called upon for an explanation. His
answer was: THE judge wanted his
dinner in hurry. SO | gave him .

SToRIETTEs.

1t is said that once, when District
Attorney Jerome was very small
boy. he and his father got into a New
York stage to ride uptown. 1t was
crowded, but the elder Jerome found
one seat, whereupon he sat, taking
upon his knee young Travers. Pres
emily the stage stopped and a hand
somely dressed woman got in. No
body having got out, there was no
seat, and nobody offered to make
room. Finally. the strain on the elder
Jerome became too great, and looking
reprovingly at Travers. he said;
"Travers. why don't you get up and
give the lady your seat?"
A suburban Philadelphia banker
tells with great satisfaction story
that illustrates well the almost incred-
ible prowess in egg-laying of his
hens. Some time ago." he says, ian
egg was left for a nest egg in the
place where my hens lay. This nest
egg, the other day, Matched, and
have now one lonely little chick. which
several dozen mothers care for. Here
is the explanation of this miracle:
My hens are such steady layers that
one would no sooner get of the nest
egg, having deposited fresh one be-
side It,, than another would slip on,
and in her turn lay. Thus by dozens
of different mothers the solitary egg
was Matched. Though no one hen sat
or 'clooked' on it, nevertheless it was
kept always warm, and in due time
there stepped forth from it a lonely
but vigorous little chick"

They are catarrh of the organ which is
affected. These women despair of re-
covery. Female trouble is so common, so
prevalent, that they accept it as almost in
evitable. The greatest obstacle in the way
of recovery is that they do not understand
that it is catarrh which is the sourceof their
illness. In female complaint, ninety-nine
cases out of one hundred are nothing but
catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located.
Chronic invalids who have languished for
years on sick beds with some form of female
disease begin to improve at once after be-
ginning DR.. Hartman's treatment.
