Why Japan Has No Fence Posts.

In Japan when farmer permits a
telegraph or telephone pole to be erect
ed on his land he has made great con-
cession to modern reform. Only the ex-
ceedingly rich have fences around their
farms in Japan, not because of the cost
of the fence, but because of the value
Of the square inches the posts and pick
cts would consume. If a border is de-
sired around field it is customary to
plant mulberry trees. The total area of
ground in Japan thus devoted to the
silkworm tree, which otherwise would
be taken up with fences, amounts to
about 10000 acres This has no refer
ence to the mulberry farms and groves,
the area for which is over three times
as much. The fact that Japanese
farmer is forced to figure on the
amount of ground a fence post would
occupy and the interesting fact that
the government in its statistical emu
merations has had the areas covered by
individual mulberry trees on farm
boundaries carefully computed demon
strates the great value of arabic land.

The "Language of Music"

The best chamber music, like the

the hearer somewhat in the same way
as the study of astronomy or the high

It suggests the ineffable and the infinite
perhaps more wildly than any other
form OF art. 1t also evoles many other
images and thoughts of definite ma
ture, but in no two cases are these
mental pictures identical. A passage

call up battle scene to another. But

Size of Udder.

A cow, whether Shorthorn, Hereford
or Jersey, that gives but a small
amount of milk and for a short time
only needs but small udder, while
the cow that yields hundred pounds
a day must have both a large reservoir
to hold the milk and milk glands suffi-
GENTLY developed to secrete it. Be-
tween these two extremes all gradua-
tons exist The organ therefore to
which the greatest Importance is at
tached and in which the greatest diff
ferentiation may be expected is the
udder. To conform perfectly to the
standard it should have long con-
nection with the body, extending well
forward under the belly and be con-
tinued with loose skin well up behind.
The front quarters should be of the
same size as the hind ones and should
hang to the same level.-Breeder and

The Prescription Bath.

The bath house at each of the famous
health resorts of Europe is the most
imposing building in town, with stately
facade and inviting entrance Inside
are long corridors, ladies to the right
and gentlemen to the left, lined with
dozens of little cell-like rooms, each
containing bathtub, a couch and a
thermometer. At the door is strong
armed masseur There is much confer
ring between the doctor and this at
tendant, repeated testing of tempera-
lures and mixtures of water in the tub.
After the patient gets into his tub the
doctor waits outside the door, watch in
hand, timing the immersion. Then the
masseur gets to work with vigorous
rubbing, still timed by the doctor. Final
~ the patient appears dressed and re-
freshed. The doctor talks diplomatic
ally on favorite symptoms, sympa-
thizes little, f1atters little more and,
with a sweeping bow, hands his victim

THE FARMERS BULL.
A Little Enterprise Needed to Secure
BlOOded Stock.

1t is not enough for the dairymaa TO
use only bulls of some of the dairy
breeds, or the beef grower to use only
bulls of the beef breeds, says Breed
er's Gazette correspondent. The farm
er who keeps a few cows is tip
against real difficulty when lie tres
to keep a pure bred bull. He must
have more than common COWS or many
of them to justify the buying and keep
ing of a high priced bull. If he has
neighbors who will pay suitable fee
for service he may be able to come
out even and have the satisfaction Of
seeing his and his neighbours cattle i'm
proved. But he must be a man of
more enterprise and ambition than the
average if he persists in his good I'M
dertaking.
That combination among small farm
ers is the best way to get the use of
pure bred bulls we firmly believe. 1t
not only makes the burden lighter on
each, but helps to promote a public
spirit in the work of stock improve
ment which is of great value in the
community. The ideal community is
approached when every farmer in it is
interested and will use a bull of the
chosen breed of the neighborhood.
When the farmers of any township or
county once agree upon combining on
one breed and use only pure bred bulls
of real excellence, then we shall hear
from them no longer the wall that
there is no profit In cattle and it does
not pay to buy pedigreed bulls.
A little more enterprise is needed
along with the desire for better stock.
With these there would be more good
bulls used by farmers combining and
purchasing pure bred bulls of decided
merit. Two or three neighbors can
own a good bull at less cost to each
than for each to own one of inferior
quality. The cost of keeping one pure
bred is only one-third as much as the
keeping Of three mongrels, and the pure
bred is likely to have better care and
give less trouble. Combination is the
solution of and cooperation the key to
both the imaginary and real troubles
with the bull on the small farm.

National StOckman To tell just when
the cream has attained the proper de-

made.
The art of telling when cream is in

Tatar and Tartar.

Tartar is a word which gives an
illustration of etymology gone astray.
The name '"Tatar' (as it is correctly
spelled is really derived from a Tura-
MAN root meaning ito stretch" and
hence Ito draw the bow" or ito pitch
tents" But when the hordes of Tatars
burst upon eastern Europe from the
Asiatic steppes in the thirteenth cen
fury the minds of students turned to
the ninth chapter of Revelation. The
Tatar invasion was interpreted as full
fillment Of the prediction Of the open
ing of the bottomless pit. A contempt
rary chronicler writes of this detest-
able satanic people issuing forth like
demons let loose from Tartarus, SO
that they are fifty named Tartar"
Thus the misconception took root.

Cold Rain Bad For Cows.
The Arizona experiment station re-
corded the results Of cold rain on the
milk flow of the station herd. The
cows were exposed three days to a cold
rain. During this time they decreased
81 per cent in milk yield and continued
until it reached so per cent, and it was
a month before they gave as much
milk as before the storm.
What the Cows Eye Means.
The eye Of the COW, as of the human
being. is Indicative of much. It shows
the character and force Of the nervous
energy back of it. If the nervous force
Is strong the eye will show marked in
telligence It will be wide open, and
the sight will appear to be penetrat-
ing. It is said that cow with placid
eye always has good disposition, and
this is doubtless true of the human ami
NAL. But there is such thing as hav-
ing an eye too open, and this indicates
too great nervousness and that the ami
NAL is easily frightened. The same is
true Of the quick flashing eye. The
eye of the cow can be studied with
profit.

The Silo and Milk Production

Stock do better if they have some dry
feed and some succulent food Corn
is, the best crop Of which to make
silage, while hay of some kind should
be used for the dry fodder-Farmer'S
Advocate.
Value of SiIage on the Farm.
Silage is especially valuable to the
dairyman who is carrying on winter
dairying, increasing the flow of milk
much over what can be obtained by dry
feed alone Fattening cattle make more
rapid gains when part of their ration
is silage Young cattle and sheep are
better and more cheaply fed when a
part of their winter feed is silage. Some
men have fed it to horses and report
good results.
Helps Out the Pasture.
Silage is not only good winter feed,
but there is nothing better to feed dairy
COWS to help out the pasture in times Of
drought and short feed, says Farmers
Advocate In fact, silage is so palata-
BILE and COWS like it SO we'll that they
will eat some of it with great relish
when they have good pasture. There
are many dairymen who feed silage as
a part of the daily ration every day in
the year. and they are some of the most
successful dairymen in the country.
ReIished by the Stock.
Silage seems to be sort of appetizer.
1t is not only easily digested, but it
appears to aid in the digestion of other
foods fed in connection with it.

Cement P1astered siIo.
A Pennsylvania correspondent Of Ru-
raj New Yorker says: helped to build
a cement plastered silo last summer.
The plan was by foot studding one
foot apart, ten feet high and twenty
six feet high. We made a concrete
bed, and the carpenter made a ring
with notches one foot apart. There he
set the studding in, and then he put
2 by 4 piece between each stud every
thirty inches, spiked with twenty
penny nails and two iron bands around
the silo screwed together. On the in
side we used ceiling lath four feet long,
soaked to bend them in, and five
penny nail at every stud, and two coats
of cement, the last one flowed down,
and the next day cement wash to
close every, crack. This one gave per-
feet satisfaction. They filled it to the
top, and 1t was perfect in every way.

BOISE. Idaho. Oct. 20.--One hun
dred thousand acres of public lands
in southern Idaho were opened for
public entry today by the state land
board. The tract is on the south side
Of the Snake river, in Cassia county,
and embraces some Of the richest and
most productive lands in the state.
The water for irrigating the lands
fs derived from the Snake river and
is provided in a sufficient abundance
to cover the entire tract with one
foot of water month, which is
easily twice as much as will be need
ed. A dam has been built in the river
at the head Of the great canyon
which raises the water about so feet
above its natural level. BY this means
the water IL diverted into a huge
canal which carries the water at the
highest possible level westward 20
miles. distributing it all along the
way into laterals that reach every
part of the vast tract.
The entire area Of lands under the
canal is 271.000 acres. Forty thou
sand acres have been opened and
taken UP by settlers. Owing to the
demand for the lands opened UP to-
day It Ia probable that the state
board will decide upon an early date
for opening the remainder Of the
>ract irrigated by the canal. The
irrigation scheme is the largest ever
