CORN MEAL FOR COWS.

Anitem is now going the rounds OF
the press that scours I'm calves and
some other troubles the calf was like
ly to have We're due to the feeding of
corn meal to the pregnant COW. This
Is absurd, unless OF course the corn
meal constituted the entire ration
when 1t would likely iniure the calf,
provided the COW lived TO bear the
calf. AS matter of fact there is a
lot of nonsense written about the use
of corn in its various forms. Admit.
tedly it is abused in the feeding of
farm stock, but so long as 1t is the
easiest Of all food crops to grow over
large area Of our country so long
must it form a major part of the ra q.
tion.
If mistakes are made in feeding corn
It is because IL is not fed with suffi-
cient variety or too much of it is fed.
We believe that corn may be so min
gled with other grains that it may
safely constitute at least one-half the
ration and cows and most other farm
one day, cracked corn the next and
corn on the ear the next is not varl-
ETY. by any means. Use the other
grains in proper mixture with corn.
using also plenty OF succulent feed and
it will be long time before the ami
mails will refuse the corn or cease to
be benefited by 1t.

The Seeds Readily Take Root.

ne SeeuS heduIly axe hoot'
On nearly every farm there are sew
eral acres of ground deemed hardly
worth reclaiming, yet much of this soil
is sufficiently strong to make a fair
growth of trees with little or no eX-
pense. One hardly realizes how read.
lily the native trees grow until some
thing calls his attention to 1t. The
writer has had much to do with grow
ing trees in the nursery, yet until this
summer did not realize how readily the
seed of the well known sugar maple
sprouts. A number of pods were blown
from nearby maple and broken apart
by small boy of an investigating turn
of mind. After satisfying his curiosi-
ty, the pods were thrown lightly aside.
Some of the seed came in contact
with the soil and last week four minia-
ture maple trees some five inches high
were found growing nicely.
In sections of the country are locat-
ed nurserymen who make a business
Of supplying small seedlings OF native
trees and at a price so low 1t is a
shame that there is not a grove of
trees on every farm in this country.
The time is not far distant when there
will be great cry over the forestless
sections of the country and we will
probably import the lumber necessary
to build houses and make furniture
when by a little planting each year
this disaster would be avoided. Do
your share, reader, in increasing the
wood supply of the country; even the
farm wood lot will help in the grand
aggregate.

CLEANING POULTRY HOUSES.

CLEANING POULTRY HOUSES.
1t is hard to say it, but 1t is true
that only about one house In ten
owned by farmers in which poultry is
kept is cleaned more frequently than
twice year. Midsummer is favor
lte time for the semi-annual cleaning,
and If this work is to be done this
summer it should be done thoroughly.
Select day or two when 1t is likely
to be dry, and turn all the fowls on
TO the range. Next clean the floor
thoroughly, seeing that every bit of
ilth Is removed; take out all the
nest boxes and burn them with their
contents. Then the house is ready
for a thorough coat of whitewash, In
which has been mixed some carbol!c
acid
Brush every part of the house heav-
lly with the whitcwash. using n spray
er to throw the whitewash into the
corners. Let the house stand for
few hours, then go over it again with
the whitewash. Next see that the
roosts are covered well with kerosene
oil, being sure TO get into the space
where the root is attached to the wall.
Put in new nest boxes, whitewashlng
them inside and out as precautlon,
put heavy coating of clean, dry sand
over the floor, and the house Is ready
for the birds. II one would do the
work thoroughly catch and examine
each fowl or chicken ami sprinkle in
sect powder in each birds feathers,
and also sprinkle liberal supply OF
insect powder in each nest, While 1t
may seem like unnecessary work, this
same task ought really to be done once
IN every two months at longest for per-
feet health.

dents Of Washington city or out-of-town

ed8ment of the receipt of the estimates

for papers served. When the paper is to be
sent by mail the address label on the paper
will be dated ahead in accordance with the
amount paid, and this date will indicate that
the money has been received and the esti-
mate recorded. No less than one dollar or
two estimates will be received at one time.

An Old Soldiers Letter.

Editor Sentinel:
We frequently hear the question
discussed that there should be more
truck farms near Grenada; more cat
tile, sheep, hogs and poultry raised.
We think SO, too, but sometimes we
feel very much discouraged, when we
are trying to sell our produce, to be
told by citizens that they are getting
fresh meat in Chicago or ST. Louis;
/ hat they can do SO much better.
Now, we do not doubt this; but, on
the other hand, we farmers could send
TO either of those places and get our
dry goods, groceries, ETC.. by retail
much cheaper, too. We could also
,end our children off to be educated,
but we think we ought to patronize,,
home institutions and help each other,
The State legislature, at its last seS-,
lion, very kind and thoughtful of the
Id soldiers, passed law permitting
Tim to sell fresh meat that he realised
md bntchered himself, in any way
Ind any where he might choose Gre
] .iada is a splendid market, and large
majority of your people are kind and
Sconsiderate with the old soldier, eSpe.
scially the ladies. and would suggest
! that If you Gao not agree with the ole
soldier, just step aside and let the la
ssdies do the buying. Please do not for
,'get that the old soldiers are fast pass
s,ing away, and we will soon be where
syou can not speak kind word to US
Cor do us a kind act.
h We tried raising cotton for fort,
years and at the end OF each year tn
: crop would usually belong to the 9th
Ger fellow. We are too old to rais
Ecotton now. So give us chance t
Smake an honest living.

School Teachers Vs. the Parent.


 lust previous to the opening of the school one oi the best known educators of. the state issued the circular addressed to the patrons tle state. in which he said:
 There is no interest of yours that should be quite so near to your hearts as the education of your children. if you make mistakes in matters Of business this year and perhaps you may be able to correct them during the coming year and thereby suffer no permanent loss; but if by a lack of interest, you should cause your child to get behind and dis couraged in his school life, time may be too short to make amends.
 It takes the cooperation Of pa rents, teachers and pupils to make 8 successful school. Pa rents need not expect their ehil- dren to succeed in school unless they keep them there regularly y. Remember that word in eriti- cism Of the child's teacher, spoken by the parents and taken to heart Dy the child, may do untold harm to your own child.
 If a parent is not pleased with the manag ement of school matters he should see the teacher and talk candidly with him but never allow She child to know anything of it. Any teacher will be glad to talk to you about the work of your child. If the teacher now and then has some trouble in manag- ing your boy, do not be too quick to blame her; but think 8 moment and see if you have not had the same experience.
 Talk to your children about your school; about their work in school; let them see that you re- gard it as very important work, in which you are very much interested; let them see you are just as anxious for them to suc- ceed in it as you are anxious to succeed in making living for them. Take time to come and visit the school, see what is being done and how we do 1t. It is your school, these are your chil- dren. and you are always well come. We do not pretend to know it all, therefore we shall be glad to have you come and advise with us.
 It is important that every pupil enter school on the first day and be there every day of the whole year. Few pupils who do this fail in their work, few who attend irregularly succeed.
