Wide Tires on Turf.

At an experiment station 1t was
demonstrated that II requires forty per
cent more power to draw a load on a
wagon with 1h-inch tires than on one
with a three-inch tire. With a dynamo
meter careful tests were made with
loaded wagons drawn over bluegrass
sward. In a wagon weighing one
thousand pounds 1t was found that a
load weighing 3,24s pounds could be
drawn on wide tires with the same
force required to move two thousand
mounds on narrow tires. Moreover, the
wide tires did not injure the turf
whils the narrow ones cut through It.

Farm Notes.

Farm NOtcbs
Winter protection is an absolute ne
cessity for growing small fruits sue
cessfully in q northern climate. 1t
should be practiced in every locality
where the temperature reaches zero or
below.
1t is said that charcoal is a very
valuable hygienic agent for pigs. 1t Is
a corrective, and acts as a preventive
against various diseases arising from
d%isordered digestive organs. If some
charcoal, or even ashes, are put in the
pigsty, the pigs will soon show they
like it. =
The best care for a horse is liberal
feed, but he should not be overfed.
The bill of fare should be changed
from time to time. Provide ventila-
ton; a horse cannot withstand bad air
any more than a man. A horse that
coughs should be fed dry feed with
caution. The coat, nan and n tail of
a horse will tell how he is kept.
Many are prone to allow their horses
to run out through all kinds Of wealth
err until late in the fall, and until their
coats become rough and shaggy. This
Is wrong. Frosty grass Is o good for
horses that have been used to dry feed
and must yet do hard work. They
should be stabbed as soon ms the nights
become uncomfortably cool, and then
they may be turned out to grass again
after the sun has dispelled the frost.
The hog that is grown "between
two winters will cost less and be
more profitable than one kept from the
fall till the winter OF the next year
The spring pig should be just the right
weight TO bring the highest price by
November or Christmas, and 1t will
require less attention than one kept
through the winter. 1t is not now
necessary to have pigs excessively fat,
though weight is an important factor.
Quality is now sought and fixes the
price.

n free package Of seed from the

Caring for the Dairy Cow.

No n will question the statement
that any animal that is well treated
will do its best for its owner; the trou-
BILE is different people have different
ideas Of what constitutes good treat
ment. The average man feels that
plenty of good food is all an animal
should expect, while other men en-
deavor to make kind words and an &C.
c%asional pat take the place of proper
feeding. A veteran dairyman, a Ger
man, showed the writer his stables
made Of rough lumber and crudely
built, but well lined inside with build
ing paper, so that they were warm.
Each stall was arranged so that the
animal had perfect freedom in the in
closure, and yet could not turn sufh-
GENTLY to soil the bedding. Every stall
was thoroughly cleaned each morning
and night, all straw removed and a
moderately strong solution Of carbolic
acid sprinkled over the floor. A light
layer Of straw was placed on the floor
during the day, and at night a heavy
bed was made. Every day, usually
just after milking, and while the cows
were eating, they were groomed with
brush and comb just as the horses
were cared for. In the morning each
COW was wiped Off with a large cloth
to remove any dust that might be on
its coat from the straw. This wal
done before milking, the udder being
also cleaned with a cloth. OF course,
these cows are well and properly fed,
but our friend has figured that the
treatment referred to has considers
BILE to do with the milk result, and he IL
undoubtedly right.-St. Paul Dispatch

The Missouri Hen.

The Missouri hen promises to be-
come as famous as the Missouri mule.
Already the value Of the surplus pro-
ducts Of the Missouri hen amount
annually to more than 100000 more
than the value of the mules sold out
Of the state. In 1902 over 100000
dozen eggs were shipped out of the
State, while thousands of dozens found
their way to the breakfast tables of
Missourians The annual production
of eggs of some Of Missouri's counties
is as follows: Greene, 3,s16,S6O dozen;
Boone, 2,505, $50 dozen; Petts, 2,541,-
800 dozen; Gasconade, 1,724, $40 dozen;
Franklin, 1,11S,623 dozen; Davies,
1870, 800 dozen; Dade, 1,049,310 dozen;

NEW WATER SYSTE,T.

1t Is with some degree OF satisfac
tion that the Press this week records
the completion Of the new water sys-
tenn, and the turning Of the water into
the reservoir on the top OF TuHbs'
hill, because it is a matter in which
We took deep interest on behalf OF
the people, realizing the great danger
to the health Of the community, from
the old source Of supply, and the in
adequate fire protection which it
offered. When our competitors were
afraid to take a stand for the best in
tsrests of the town the Press made a
determined hght for a modern water
system aud gave its best efforts to
secure the same. The right man to
push the work to completion was
found in the person Of b. 0. Graham,
who is deserving Of the credit OF pro
noting the enterprise aud seeing that
1t Was made success. He enlisted
capital 10 the enterprise, August
Paulson, Of Wallacs, being the heav.
lest ockholder, and Wa believe that
the men who put their time and
money into the system are public
beuelactors, and are entitled to a
liberal interest on their investment.
The new system makes tho tire protec
ton Of the city SO much better than
1t has ever before been that tho ia

there is 90 reason why better control
Of fires may not result, and the risk
