A Good Selection.

P. n. Kieffer of Manchester, Ia. has
been appointed to act as expert to crit
icise the butter sent to the national ed
ucational tests in 1904. This announce
ment will please the Iowa buttermak-
ers as well as the Minnesota boys, for
Mr. Kieffer comes from Minnesota and
is known throughout both Minnesota
and Iowa as one Of the most competent
and expert buttermakers and one who
has made The production of June butter
a study for years and has done much to
improve iowa creamery butter since
his connection with the dairy depart
ment last year.. We trust the Iowa but
ternakers will fake part in the 1904
tests. Those who have NOT received

Dairy COWS In Winner.


Dairy Cows In Winter.
The change from pasture to winter
conditions is apt to be trying one for
the dairyman. The cows do not take
kindly at first to the dry feed and con-
sequently do moi consume enough to
keep up the milk flow. If they are
turned out and compelled to range over
the pasture during severe storms the
result will be disastrous to the produc
ton of milk The cows should be pro-
vided with a well drained lot and some
sort of shed for shelter from the wind
and rain. For roughness the most pal
atable feed obtainable should be pro-
vided and fed in managers or racks.
Sorghum fodder or hay will be most
acceptable feed for them. as it is very
juicy and succulent and will make the
change from pasture to dry feed less
abrupt The shelter should be provided
by all means, whatever feed is obtain
able for roughness. The dairy cow.
with her thin covering of flesh. should
never be allowed to SILVER along the
windward side of a barb wire fence
1t will pay in dollars and cents to make
the COW as comfortable as possible. for
every discomfort she is subjected to
will be evidenced by reduced flow of
milk. and it is almost impossible to
bring the flow back to the original
amount

Farm Notes.

Weeds and other refuse left in the
fence corners last fall should be care
fully cleaned away before spring. They
can be easily raked out, as they are
now dry, and the best way to dispose
of such material is to burn it.
There is an increasing interest being
taken in the plan for dipping hogs for
lice, says the Winchester Herald. This
is something that was scarcely known
a decade ago. Nearly all up-to-date
swine breeders now engage in the
business, while the great army Of
breeders know nothing about it, either
by experience or observation.
A farmer was telling how he sue
ceeded in killing lot of rats, says the
Steuben Republican. 1t is an old
scheme. He took a barrel and put
about six inches of water in it. In the
center he put stone large enough that
a rat could stand on. On top he put
heavy paper and cut it in quarters.
Then smear this over with cheese and
put a board leading up to it. He
catches just scads of rats.
The farmer reduces the value Of his
own labor by keeping inferior stock,
or failing to secure larger yields of
crops, as the higher the price and the
greater the production the better the
remuneration for the labor bestowed.
There are periods when the farmer
cannot perform work in the fields, for
which reason he should aim to get his
crops under shelter as soon us possible
in order to do some kinds Of work
which can be performed inside the
barn.

Remarkable Shot at Deer.

Perhaps more remarkable shots
have been made at antelope than at
any other American game, says a
writer in Outing. This is natural, Of
course, since, being usually in plain
sight, they were often shot at from
great distances; and many a man,
making lucky guess at distance, and
holding just right, has been enormous
" proud of a very long shot that
killed.
OF such long shots few were sue
cessful, but those that were so often
made for the rifeman who fired them
a great-but wholly undeserved repu-
tation. I myself made the most ex-
traordinary shot at an antelope that l
ever heard Of, which, however, has
nothing to do with good shooting, but
rather with the erratic course that q
rifle ball may take. With several
scouts, white men and Indians, I rode
over a hall, to see threC or four buck

Water for Farm Anin,n1a. !

tial to the Well-being Of humans. and
# this is SO why should any one pre-
sumo to think that animals can GET
along with little or no water? Yet
this is the plan on which many farm.
ers work. The cows and horses are.
perhaps, properly watered, but the 9TH
er farm animals are given little water.
In series Of experiments carried on
py the writer a number of years ago it
was found that sheep, swine and poul-
try gave us nearly 20 per cent. better
returns when regularly and carefully
Watered than when the water was
given but occasionally.
That is, the egg supply was larger
from the hens, and the sheep and hogs
Kept to the desired weight. More than
this, we found there was less trouble
with diseases, particularly those that
had the stomach for their base of at
tack. 1t is now a regular practice to
give all the animals on the farm regu.
lar supplies of clean water. In water
ing the sheep and swine troughs are
provided and kept for the purpose.
After the animals have drunk. the
troughs are removed so that there Is
no chance of them being defled. 1t
will pay every time to water all farm
animals regularly and with clean wat
er.-Brookville American.

Remedy for RlacIrIAw.

Farmers whose pasture lands are
rich in vegetable matter are most ia
miliar with the disease among calves
known as blackleg. 1t is contracted by
eating the grass on such pastures and
the germs multiply rapidly. There is
no known cure for the trouble, but our
veterinarian tells us that his profess
sion Is familiar with a method of vac
cination which renders the calf prac-
tically immune. When this method is
used it should be in the hands Of a
skilled worker. The writer has had
some trouble with blackleg in the past
and has found the following formula
a splendid preventive Of the trouble,
but not a cure after the germs have
found Judgment in the calf:
If there is danger of the trouble
obtain from reliable druggist a sup
ply of hyposulphite Of soda and give it
daily to the calf mixed with the food,
starting with a teaspoonful for the
animal three months old or younger,
and increasing until the calf from six
months to year old is given q table
spoonful. After the animal is year
old there Is likely to be no trouble.
The remedy, or rather reventive, is
worth trying.

What a Ror can d..


These are some Of the things boy can
do;
He can shout SO loud the air turns blue;
He can make all sounds of beast and
bird,
And thousand more they never heard.
He can crow or cackle, chirp or cluck,
Till he fools the rooster, hen or duck,
He can mock the dog, or lamb, or COW,
And the cat herself can't beat his
"me-ow." .......
He has sounds that are rufled, striped
or plain;
He can thunder by like a railway train,
Stop at the stations a breath, and then
Apply the steam and be off again.
He has all of, his powers in such COM
mand, "a.
He can turn right into full brass band,
With all of the instruments ever played,
And march away as a street parade.

short distance and then stop to look.
I made quick shot at one, which
dropped, and on going to him I found
him not dead though desperately
wounded. The animal had been stand
ing, broadside on, his face toward my
left. The ball had struck the left ell
bow, splintering the olecranon, passed
through the brisket, broken the right
humerus, turned at right angles and
gone back, cutting several ribs, broken
the right femur and turned again at
right angles and came out through the

hook joint, which it dislocated and
twisted off, so that it hung by a very
narrow string of hide. l never again

Eggs In Winter.

Shipping eggs in winter requires
careful packing. Eggs are liable to
become frozen in the crates when the
cold Is intense, although the crates may
Dc made tight and the eggs inclosed in
paper partitions. There Is no remedy
ror the drawback, and the only safe
plan is to keep the eggs until the
weather moderates. sawdust Is some
umes used in the crates to fill up the
spaces and prevent the ingress of cold
ar but 1t only adds to the weight.
II one has the time to bestow, the eggs
may be wrapped in .wadding, and plac-
ea IN the paper partitions; but the mer-
cnants who receive them may object

VI removing the covering from the
eggs after arrival.

Deep Cultivation,

Deep cultivation Of some crops is
equivalent to pruning the roots. This
is especially the case with corn, which
sends its roots in every direction, close
to the surface of the soil. Expert
ments in cultivating corn show that
when the roots were cut two inches,
four inches and six inches below the
surface, the increase Of crops was
greater when the cultivation was shall
low, the greatest harm being done by
deep cultivation Mt the last stages of
growth Of the plants. The object
should be to simply loosen the top soil
when cultivating corn and to avoid
cutting the roots as much as possible.

losses he had met In his business, and
mother was saying, In her sweet, COM
forting voice, how sorry she was, and
how she would try to economic and
help him. Murray lay awake, longing
to help, too. When he went to sleep
at last, there was an idea tucked away
in one corner of his little brain. 1t
woke him up the next morning, and
carried him out to the stable to talk
1t over with. Midget, his little Shetland

delighted he was to find in the PONY"

of them beginning something like this:

And after all the bundles were car

ed Murray was to count the bright
dimes, jingling them one by one, and
to see how proud his father was, too!

Panama, July 18.-No settlement
has been reached of the questions
pending between the republic OF Pan
anna and the officials Of the canal
zone. The Panama government is
firm IN the belief that the only cor
rect Interpretation of the canal treaty
is that until the canal shall be con-
structed all parts of the isthmus are
under the direct Jurisdiction OF Pan
anna
The fact that the relations be-
tween the Panama government and
Major General Davis, governor of
the canal zone, are cordial, leads the
people Of the republic to hope that the
questions will be satisfactory settled.
One Of the results of the situation
arising out of the DEGREES issued by
Governor Davis establishing a Gus
tom house in the canal zone and the
order compelling all steamers depart
ing from La Boca to secure clearance
papers from the United States au-
thorities, is the union of all political
parties toward a common end. The
