Grain Feeding.

In some observations recently made
in the feeding-of grain to lambs, one
Of the most noticeable results was the
early maturity of those that had grain
from birth. For instance, in one trial the
lambs fed with grain from birth at
tained an average weight of 113
pounds seven weeks earlier than those
that had had no grain previous to fat
ten1ng, and this weight was reached at
a smaller cost in the instance of the
lambs fod on grain from the start.
1t is a hard matter to estimate the
amount Of grain to feed, owing to the
variation in the consuming capacity
Of sheep. In starting it has been GUS
tomary to feed from half pound to
one pound. A month later the wethers
will probably be taking from one to
two pounds. and during the last month
from two to three.-American Cultiva.

Farm Notes.

Keep all young animals growing and

Avoid working horses in the rain an

Ground feed Is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
Sweet food for hogs is better than
that which is fermented and soured.

Care Of Horses' Neck..

Nine out of every ten farm horses
suffer from abrasions Of the skin ON
the neck during the spring work and
this is SO severe in many cases as to
keep the horse from doing a full days
work. Try this plan Of treating the
farm horse during the season of hard
work. After feeding the horse brush
of or, better still, wipe it off with
large cloth. Then, with tepid water,
sponge the head, neck and shoulders
and wipe dry with clean cloth.
If the shoulders show indications of
soreness rub over them a little vase
line and let it remain over night See
that the collar worn fits we'll and after
taking it Off wipe it thoroughly with
a damp cloth and hang it where it
will be thoroughly dry in the morn
ing. 1t will pay well to take this little
additional care of the horse during
the working season if at no other time.

Horses should be watered before
their grain feed. This story has been
put to the experimental test. A horse
was fed with four quarts Of whole
oats, and Immediately after given
water to drink. Soon after the horse
was killed and opened. Scarcely a
quart Of oats was found swimming
in the water in the stomach, the re-
naming three quarts having been
forced by the water into the intestines.
Another horse was given water first.
and then about four quarts Of oats.
Fifteen minutes after this horse was
slaughtered, and the entire quantity
OF oats was found in the stomach, and
already digestion was setting in.
Horses require more water in hot
weather than in cold, and more when
at work than when Idle. Horses at
full work should be watered frequent
ly; three times day Is not too often.
The hay and grain should always be
pure and sweet.

A firm of English millers have made
an interesting test of the comparative

On account of the scarcity Of oak,
chestnut and other hardwood timber
commonly used for railroad ties, rail-
roads have been successfully using the
softer woods, which have been treated
with chemicals such as creosote, zinc,
chloride, etc. Preservative treatment
can make a beech, red oak or pine

of screw spikes instead of nail spikes

Best Food for Fattening Lambs.

Best Food for Fattenin& Lambs.
Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture Of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain,. but
at a somewhat greater cost of feed.
Corn and peas made slightly small
ler gain than the other feeds. But
the difference was so small that the
convenience of procuring the feed IS
the largest element in the case. As
peas and oats may be grown together
very conveniently and cheaply, this
crop secures some advantages over
others which may give it a preference
in this regard.

Thrifty Melons.

Sow melons in light rich soil; poul-
try manure produces rapid growth. If
the season is very warm and moist the
vines may need to be pinched back to
secure early fruiting. Musk-melons re-
quire a season Of about three and one
half months and watermelons about
four and one-haf months, hence the
crop Is rather uncertain in this lati-
tude. The crop is made more sure If
seeds are first started in a hotbed and
transplanted when they begin to run
to vine.

used by the committee in making its
threat will admit of no such inter-
probation. Congressman Humphrey
on the stump continues to assert in
every speech that no republican leg
islature would. ever pass railway
commission bill giving a democratic
governor the appointment of the COM
missioners He declares that lit is not
human nature Congressman Jones
made similar declarations, but craw-
fished out of it when he saw that such
threats were having a bad effect on
Meads candidacy. The chairman of
the republican county central commit
tee in his capacity as editor Of the
Union made the same threat He said
it was "cinch that no republican leg
islature will pass a railway commits
sion bill for George Turner to sign.l'
The reason given was that Turner had
deserted the republican party and had
not always spoken kindly of it's lead
ers and policies.
1t is too late now for the republican
state committee, it's spellbinders and
the railroad organs to retract these
threats. They were made in dead
earnest and there is no doubt they
would be carried out if the republicans
should secure a majority in the next
legislature.

GODD ENOUGH FOR
ROOSEVELT.

President Roosevelt in appointing
George Turner a member of the Alaska
boundary commission to serve with
Elihu Root and Henry Cabot Lodge
used the words, 'Reposing special
trust and confidence in the integrity
and ability of George Turner of Wash
ington." A few months ago the presi-
dent again demonstrated his conf
dence in Judge Turner and his high
appreciation of his ability and learn
ing by appointing him the Pacific
coast delegate to the International
Congress of Jurists at ST. Louis If
President Roosevelt has so much con-
fidence in the integrity and ability of
George Turner as to confer these eX-
ceptional hOnors upon him, certainly
the voters Of this state will be justified
in voting for the same distinguished
statesman for governor. If Turner is
good enough for Roosevelt he is good
enough for any decent, self-respecting
voter in the state in spite of all the
calumny and vituperation John L.
Wilson's literary bureau may utter
against him.

MBR1pEs COURAGEOUS WORDS.

In his speech here on March 18th,
Governor Mcbride said:
The one great OvershadOwing issue
in this campaign is the question
whether the people shall govern them
selves or whether the state shall re-
main under the rule and sway of an
insolent and corrupting railway lobby.
Because believe this should be a gov
eminent of the people, by the people,
and for the people, instead of a gov
eminent of the lobby, by the lobby
and for the lobby, am painted by
that lobby and those through whom it
speaks as being little short of an an
archist. When I call attention to ex-
listing evils and abuses and ask that
they may be remedied, the lobby
shouts "Confiscation." When 1 speak of
the sacredness of party pledges and
object to the debauching of legisla-
lures, the lobby cries out that 1 am an
enemy of property and of property
rights; and the cry is taken up by
those under it's influence and echoed
and re-echoed throughout the state.
But l do not regard the decision of
the lobby as conclusive or final; and
l appeal from it's decisions to the heart
and the conscience and the intelligence
and the honor and the manhood of the
people of this great state. The action
of the railroads, through their lobby,
in thwarting the wishes of the people,
speak more eloquently of the need of
a railway commission than any words
to which l can give utterance.'

The lobby combination which
doWned Mcbride and the railroad
commission plank is the combination
which nominated Mr.. Mead and the
other candidates on the republican
state ticket. The candidates on the
republican county ticket are openly
supporting the lobby state ticket and
thereby giving their support to lobby
rule and lobby methods. They are
therefore not entitled to the votes of
the honest supporters of the commits
sion principle who want to free their
party in the state and county from
railroad domination.
