The Live stock Instinct.

There is no occupation followed by
man that is more ennobling in its eff
feet upon character than the breeding
and feeding of live, stock Although
there is common law that like begets
like, yet running parallel with this is
another which is apparently contradic-
tory-namely, that nature never repro
duces herself. The law of like produc-
ing like is illustrated in our breeds Of
live stock, where the Shorthorn, for ex-
ample, Of pure breeding will present
the form of the Shorthorn, this being
true also in the case of the Hereford,
Angus and indeed all breeds. On the
other hand, says Livestock Indicator, it
is strictly impossible to foretell the out
come of any line of breeding, meaning
by this, of course, the finer points that
make one animal more meritorious
than another. 1t is right here where
the fascination of the breeding bust
ness comes in.

coal to Keep Swine Healthy.

cOnl TO Keep swine healthy.
Burned cOrncobs, if you have no
charcoal, mixed with some wood ashes
and a very little salt kept where the
hogs can get it, is one of the best regu-
them in healthy condition. AS to the
manner of burning these cobs, one
breeder says to dig a hole in the
ground five feet deep. one foot in di-
Gmeter at the bottom and five feet at
the top, using this hole as a charcoal
pit. Into this pit place some combusti-
bic matter and ignite To this gradual
ly add dry corncobs until the pit is
full. After the flames have thoroughly
penetrated these cobs place over the
pit a sheet iron cover so as to exclude
the air. If there are any crevices
around the edge these should be COW
cred with soil. In the course of ten or
twelve hours the charcoal will be
ready for use. This charcoal may be
fed alone to hogs or mixed in the fol-
lowing way: Six bushels of corncob
charcoal, eight pounds of salt, two
quarts Of air Stacked lime and one
bushel of wood ashes. The charcoal
should be broken up fine and these
substances thoroughly mixed together,
One writer adds to this mixture one
and one-quarter pounds of copperas,
which he dissolves in hot water, after.
ward sprinkling this over the mixture.
The mixture may then be fed TO hogs
at certain intervals or, what is better,
1t may be placed where the hogs may
have free access to it at all times.--In-

MERCHANTS are complaining
bitterly because the railroad com
pany does not furnish cars with
which to ship hay to customers as
fast as they desireit. Some Of the
dealers say they are losing Gus
toners every day because they
cannot get cars. They also say
that unless the railroad company
will do better than it has so far
done this year large per cent of
the hay crop will remain unsold,
1t is the duty of the railroad COM
pany to furnish the shippers with
cars so that crops can be moved to
market. They should be furnished
at the time they are needed, not
after consumers have gone else
where for what they desire.

Looks Like Business.

We are in receipt of the follow
ing press dispatch from Muskegon,
Mich:
The board of directors of the
Rex Cobra Mining company on
November 25th, advanced the price
of the stock of that company to
20 cents per share, to take effect
January lst. 1904. The shaft has
reached depth of 500 feet and re-
cent reports from the mine are
very encouraging.
Mr.. French also writes from
Muskegon, Mich, under date of
Nov. 2Sth, that when he returns
home, which will be about January
5th, he will have funds sufficient to
put on a steam hoist and run the
mine ten months longer. 1t is the
intention of the company to sink
to depth of 700 feet and then
drift and cross cut.

THE good roads movement will
grow until substantial results are
realized in the way of systematic
road building, because its import
ance demands it. When people
realize the expensiveness of bad
roads, they will demand the cheap
est roads, which are good hard
roads that can be used with facili-
ty every day in the year. Bad
road are a heavy tax upon the peo-
pie who use them, and the tax
falls most heavily upon the farmers
and producers. Good roads, once
paid for, are a perpetual saqing to
travel and transportation. Mar

ADVANTAGES OF SlLAGE.
the SilO IL an Important Factor In
Successful DafryinE.

Professor Bckles says in order to Sc.
lure the best results in feeding dairy
aows it Is generally considered that
tome food having that quality known
as succulence is necessary. When on
pasture the COW, as a rule, does her
best, and to make the best of winter
conditions something must be provided
that has some of the properties Of
grass. Two methods are used to sup
ply this necessary quality-by the use
of root crops, by the use of silage
When attention is given to winter
dairying silage should by all means be
provided, as it is undoubtedly the
cheapest food for this purpose.
There is no way by which the corn
crop can be used to better advantage
than by putting it in silo. Probably
more feeding value can be secured
from an acre of corn put into the sllo
than from an equal area utilized in
any other way. Silo is always relished
by cows and furnishes a large part of
the roughness required in a cheap and
palatable form. The number of silos
in use is constantly increasing, espe.
cially in the dairy sections. Silage is
also growing in favor as a summer
feed to supplement pastures.
The advantages of silage as COM
pared with field cured fodder have
been summed up by Professor II. j.
Waters as follows:
"The practice of preserving the
green corn plant in the silo has grown
rapidly in favor, especially with the
dairy farmer. It commends itself on
the ground that
"First.-A large quantity of material
may be stored in comparatively small
space.
"Second.-Green and succulent food
is thereby provided for the winter
months.
"Third.-The green plant is more pal
atable, the coarser parts of the stalk
being much more completely consumed
when made into siage.
"Fourth.-The harvesting is done
during the pleasant weather in the
early fall, and the drudgery of han
ding dry stover in winter is obvIated
"Fifth.-It is cheaper on the whole
than to be at the expense of husking
and grinding the ears and cutting and
the stover 1t does not APP /
pear to affect the digestiblity of the |
favorably or unfavorably."

RULE FOR BREATHING.

Ii ones health is impaired, or II
he wants to preserve it and in
crease his power to resist disease,
he must first of all, give attention
to bis breathing. Even food and
drink are second in Importance to
this, for one can live for days with
out nutrition save the air breathed,
but if deprived of that, even for a
few minutes. life ceases. Here are
some of the first rules for acquir-
ing a correct method of breathing,
as given by a specialist who has
made an exhaustive study of the
subject: First AFTER retiring at
night, release body and mind from
all tension, and take full and re-
gular inhalatious through your
nostrils; hold the breath about one
second; take all the time you can
to exbale it; keep this up until you
are weary or fall asleep, Second
When you wake in the morning,
repeat the exercises at least for five
minutes, longer, if time permits.
Third-During the day, take as
many full respirations as possible,
exercising care with the exhala-
tions. While taking these exer-
cises, one should bear in mind the
thought that he is inhaling new
life and power.-SucceSS.

from there runs to the effect that the
people know a good horse when they
see one. and high average order of

spring. Expectations are that in due
time the part of the great wheat

llAIRIY

In a paper read at the recent meet
ing of the Wisconsin Dairymen's asso-
citation G. p. Goodrich gave an account
of his visit to the dairy farms of Fond
du Lac county, Wis. After stating the
number of farmers he visited that took
their milk to creameries and giving the
price their milk brought he said:
l took the statements Of twelve pa
irons of a cheese factory. This fac
tory made cheese the year round and
paid for milk by test, and these twelve
were nearly all that had patronized
the factory the whole twelve months.
These patrons had 172 COWS. The
average cost of feed per cow was
$29,60; average returns from factory
for milk, $34.20; average pounds of
milk per COW, 1886; average price of
milk, SS.2 cents per 100 pounds; aver
age profit per COW, $4,60.
There are many persons who wish to
know whether it is more profitable to
patronize a creamery or a cheese fac
tory. 1t will be seen that the average
price of milk at the creamery was
S5.2 cents per 100 pounds, while at the
cheese factory it was cents more.
This statement is a little misleading,
for the milk received at the cheese fac
tory did not average so high in test as
that received at the creamery. -Four
per cent milk at the creamery aver
aged S4 cents and at the cheese fac
tory 92 cents. Possibly this s cents
may make up for the difference in val
ue between skim milk and whey. At
all events, you have the facts as
found them.
Clean Dairy Utensils.
In a new bulletin from the Illinois
experiment station Professor Wilber j.
Fraser says: zone Of the first essen
tials in keeping dairy utensils clean is
to have a clean surface. This fact
should be kept In mind when purchas-
ing, and If all seams are not flushed
smooth with solder this should be done
As soon as the tin is worn off on the
inside, exposing the iron, the utensils
should be discarded, for they, cannot
be properly cleaned when in this con
dition. All utensils should be washed
as soon as possible after using, since
the longer the milk remains on them
the harder they will be TO clean. They
should first be rinsed with lukewarm
water to remove the milk, then washed
with hot water and soap or some alkali
and scalded with boiling water or
with steam If it Is available. Cans
should never be tightly closed when
not in use, and should be placed on a
rack in an inverted position, SO that
the dust cannot blow into them. If |
possible, they should be placed where |
the sun will shine on them as that will |
do much toward keeping them pure
and sweet"
Air For the Cows.
IL. Il. Cook, Denmark, n. Y, holds |
that every dairy barn should be CON
structed so as to give every COW 500 J
cubic feet of air. For lighting there
ought to be thirtysix square feet Of
window to each 5000 cubic feet of air.
To one who is building a new COW barn
these ought to be taken as standard fig
ures. One thing Mr.. Cook greatly EN- !,
phasized was plenty of light for ia
effect on disease germs. Dark COW
stables are not uncommon, but accord
Ing to this experienced and scientific
spe..cr they should be banshed.

Talk about the Angora goat bosm
busting" There is no such word in the
Angora vocabulary. The mohair mills
want fifty times more mohair than
they grow in South Africa. There are
100000 acres of precipitous and
rocky mountains and brush land that
beckon the deft climbers and brush
cleaners to enter and possess the land.
These are not for the sheep, COW or
horse until the goat civilizes them, and
after him will come the golden hoof
ana the golden fleece, says the Ameri.
can Sheep Breeder. 1t is the peculiar
mission of the Angora to redeem these
lands to pastoral uses, and until this is
done there will be no abatement of the
boom that Is on. In this civiliZing proc
ess the Angora works for nothing.
boards himself and gives his immacu.
late silver fleece to his owner as a gra-
cious May day gift. He cannot com.
pete with his close friend the sheep in
the rich grass lands, but easily leads
him in the rocks and brush lands, and
while these remain the Angora will
make fortunes for men and smoother,
klndlier runs for his woolly successor,
and together in kindred work the two
will go on forever. Let no shepherd OF
sheep deride the goat, for he is the
forerunner Of the flock and the best
friend the sheep man will ever know.
MOhair Market.
According to reports from eastern
sources, the demand for mohair this
year will be very good, says Stockman
and Farmer. Not much has come to
market as yet, and It has been COB
bled up at very fair prices. The use
of mohair seems to be enlarging as the
supply in this country increases, all of
which is very gratifying to the ever
growing AngorS Industry. The place
of the AngOra has not yet been defined
In American live stock husbandry. But
1t seems now that the greatest devel-
opment will be IN the south and south
west, where the climate is especially
favorable for these animals.
Goat Notes.
Goats are rather less subject to dis.
ease than sheep, but there are Il good
many cases Of loss Of goats from un-
known diseases.
Angora goat associations are being
formed throughout many of the states
of the southwest in order that good
raisers can get together and compare
notes as to their experiences. The
move is a good one.
Probably no one thing does more to
arrest development of the Angora goat
industry in districts not familiar with
the animal than the grossly exagger.
Rted idea of its hardness and ability
TO live without care upon any kind OF
g!et.

WHERE A ROSE is At"

Deep in the slums, one hot, hot day
A little girl was at her play
A little girl with tousled hair
And grimy hands, and feet all bare.
There. in the baking. barren street,
She ~ang-and 0, her voice was sweet,
To one who, hating where she sat,
Heard: Il know where rose is att"
She pointed down an alley dim
Where slattern women, coarse and grim,
Were bandying strange laugh and call
And there, close to the blackened wall,
A brave, brave rose was clambering-
What wonder that the tot could sing
That she in accents shrill and fiat
Sang: II know where a rose is att
The stranger caught the rare perfume
That f1oated from the ruddy bloom
The one lone blossom with its cheer
And sighed: There are two roses here.
Each plays its good, unconscious part,
And one rich rose is in your heart"
The child, not understanding that,
CroOned: II know where a rose is at.
IT'S so. We may be walled about
With fretting fear and clinging doubt,
But somewhere in the wreck and ruck
A rose of hope, with sturdy pluck,
Is climbing, climbing through the night
To show US which way comes the light.
There may be gloom-but what of that
If we know where rose is at?"
