Petrined Hat.

About four years ago Charley Erwin
paid a visit to the petrifed forest of
Arizona, and while there left q large
sombrero under the natural bridge
near the falls, and in such position
that the water dripped on it. One side
of the >brim was pinned up to the
crown, and therein was worked with
cord the letters sc. E." In this place
the hat remained until about g month
ago, when Mr.. and Mrs. George Ruff
ner were visiting at the place. Erwin
gave them a description Of the location
of his plant" and thither they went,
and found the hat. A c. nplete petrl.
fication of the chepeau had taken
place. 1t was absolutely stone. Mrs.
Ruffner brought it home with her,
and now has it, regarding it as one Of
the choice curios Of her many travels.

winterins Colts.

It is well-known fact, says the
Texas Farmer, that horses and colts
that run out in the winter thrive. pro-
viding they are provided with comfort.
able shelter nights and have feed or
good hay and fair ration OF grain.
They are animals provided by nature
with a heavy coat and are we'll adapted
to withstand the rigors of winter.
They will thrive better under a COM
mon sense regime than by petting and
pampering. A successful Eastern
breeder says: 1.-The shelter should not
be drafty, of course, but it should not
be so nearly alright that it will not
vcntilate itself on cold nights. Ihe
foul air in the close and warm stable
is far more injurious to the colts and
horses than clean, pure air of almost
any low temperature can possibly be.
Blanketing is oftener overdone than
underdone. The horse standing in a
blanket on cold night may be seri-
ously affected when the blanket Is
thrown off in the morning. If he
stands blanketed night and day dur
ing the cold spells he will get into
such condition that he will take cold
easily when a draft hits him. CoddlinS
is one thing the horse cannot stand.
Cold weather coddling in particular
is calculated to weaken him. Treat
him on natural lines in the winter and
he will respond by getting into and by
remaining in good condition"

Growing Protein For Dairy Cows.

A recent bulletin by the Tennessee
station treats upon the Relative Value
of Protein in Cotton-Seed Meal. Cow
pea Hay and Wheat Bran" We will
enumerate the conclusion of the ex-
pertinent.
Cottonseed meal is one Of the richest
of protein foods. but it must be fed
sparingly, as it has tendency to pro-
duce nervous arrangement Of the cows
system.
Only about half as much food is
consumed in making a gallon Of milk
as in making pound Of butter.
The smallest amount of roushage
consumed in making pound Of but
ter was 43.S pounds. in which thirteen
pounds of cowpea hay was substituted
for four pounds of cottonseed meal.
This was with a group of three cows.
The highest amount Of concentrates
consumed for a pound Of butter was
by group 1, which took 90 pounds, or
50 pounds more than group 3, and 81
pounds more than group 2.
This shows that the substitution or
pea hay for wheat bran in group 2. and
for cottonseed meal in group 3 greatly
reduced the cost of concentrates.
1t was proved by this experiment
that one and quarter pounds OF
chopped cowpea hay was equal to one
pound of bran, and three pounds OF
the chopped pea hay was equal to one
pound of cottonseed meal.

the late Maurice Thompson to have

would not only come as q surprise to

they are made that determines wheth-
er dirt roads may be good roads. The
discovery was made in very simple
manner. as set forth in bulletin that
the Missouri Board of Agriculture is
distributing among the farmers OF the
State. After the same experience with
roads that Iowa has had, good a little
while and then bad long while. II
was suggested by some one that II
every farmer would keep up the ROAD
running past his own farm all the
roads would soon be in good condition.
at very little cost to anybody. One OF
the farmers to act upon this sugges-
ton was D. w King, Of Maitland. who
with some ingenuity set about making
a drag for himself, and 1t is this drag
that is the subject of the State boardS S
bulletin. The bulletin describes 1t as
follows:
The read draw is very simply con-
structed. 1t is composed Of two split
logs, nine feet long, Joined together
with short crosspieces. After each
rain the road should be gone over with
the drag, carefully smoothing down
all high places and filling up the ruts.
In the course Of time the road SO treat
ed will become hard and firm and, with
q little attention after each rain, al
ways will remain dry and smooth. Ex-
periments have been made in every
part Of the State, and on every kind
of soil with the drag, and it has been
found to be successful"
The Register and Leader takes pleas
ure in presenting this Missouri idea
to its readers. 1t Is the solution
of the road problem for Iowa. and the
only solution. Each farmer may not
wish to keep a road drag and to drag
his own road, but every farmer ought
to be willing to combine with his
neighbors to secure a road tender
whose business it should be. to keep
our dirt highways smooth and passa-
BILE. Every township in the State
should have man, with sufficient
teams and tools, hired by the year to
do nothing else. In one year nine out
of ten of our dirt highways would be-
come so well hardened and so firm that
no ordinary spell Of wet weather would
affect them further than to moisten
the surface.
Even if Iowa should secure macad-
amiZed highways, they would require
constant care. Why should not the
State provide the caretakers for the
dirt roads that it will be compelled
to have when permanent highways
come in?-Des Moines Qowa) Register

Raising Mules.

Raising Mules.
The advantage Of mule over a
horse is he can be taught to turn
shorter, thus preventing the breaking
down Of vegetables or other plants. He
can 60 in rougher places, is not affected
by heat as badly as the horse, and re-
quires less attention in the way OF
currying, rubbing. etc. His feet be-
ing smaller. he can walk closer to the
row of growing plants.
To make good mule worth from
$50 to $50 at weaving time or $140 to
S16O as a two-year-old, he should be
foaled from q large mare in April or
May. He should run with the dam un-
til October /, then be weaned. At this
time he should be at least fifty-two
inches. Put him in large shed with
plenty Of light and feed oats, with Glow
er and timothy hay. Too much corn
fevers the legs and produces scratches.
The next summer he should have ac-
cess to the pasture. with little corn
each day, until cold weather, when he
should be brought back to the barn.
At two or two and half years old he
should be sixteen hands high, fat, and
ready for market.
When feeding, care should be given
to keep out scratches. The following
is a good cure: Take equal parts OF
bluestone, white vitriol and verdigris,
grind together with parts Of soapstone,
mix with warm water until about as
thin as paste, apply with swab on
the end Of stick about three times a
week.
Mule colts are no more troublesome
than horse colts. The colts run with
their mothers. but separate pasture
Is renuired for tMo-Year-old mules.
