A balky horse can inflict world Of
vexation on his owner. We once
owned black mare which was true as
steel everywhere we could put her I'M
til we had to ford stream. Then,
when she got In the middle Of the
stream, she would always balk and set
her hind legs to work and sling water
like fire nozzle. 1t was no use to lick
her. One could not lead her out with
out getting soaked, and there was
nothing to do but let her kick 1t out.
There was always some wise man on
the bank to look on and give advice,
sometimes several Of them. How did
we cure her? We didn't; we sold her
to a man who did not have to ford
rivers.

There Is hardly farm in the coun.
try where 1t would not pay to give
more attention to the poultry. The
hen is the greatest money maker on
American farms today. The country
cannot get enough eggs or chicken
meat or holiday turkeys. Trade of
some Of those cows which only just
barely pay their board andf get lumber,
sash and paint and build some modern
yards and houses for the fowls, then
get some good breed and stick to 1t.
The goose Is the most ancient of our
domestic fowls. While Peter and the
old rooster are pretty far back it is of
record that the Cabling Of geese saved
ancient Rome, and recently unearthed
records Of the Babylonian era of date
1000 B. G. show that geese were COM
mon birds in that time. These birds
live to great age, and one which we
got hold Of for Thanksgiving feast
a few years ago gave every evidence
Of Babylonian texture and flavor.
The pasture lot was not quite ready
for her, but the smell Of grass fresh
and toothsome was In the air, and so
our pet Jersey COW of ancient and aris-
tocratic lineage. Of always immaculate
department., refined and poetic in dali
~ sense, fretted herself at her en-
forced confinement IN the yard and,
forgetting all about her reputation and
standing with the family and the neigh
bors, made savage onslaught on the
gate which shut her in and tore 1t
down just as stray Texas steer
loose at the s.ockyards might do. 1t
was just a strike, not for higher wages,
but for grass. that's all. She got what
she went after.
The legislature OF the state of Iowa
has made the stealing of chickens n

THE SCIENCE OF FEEDING.

Linseed meal is best for milk; cotton
seed meal If you make butter.
Moldy stalks may do for beef steers,
but they spoil the milk IL fed to milch
cows.
Feed is more expensive than care, yet
you are continually giving more OF 1t.
Add a liberal allowance Of intelligent
care to your general rations and note
the results.
Fresh skimmilk is worth from 25 to
35 cents per 100 pounds when fed vita
corn meal, middlings or other suitable
grain for making up slop in feeding either
young pigs or fattening hogs.
Feed the dairy COW in proportion not
alone to her present production, but
with an eye to her actual capacity and
feel satisfied with nothing less than her
best work.-Farm and Home

How to Prevent swsrmins.

In answer to an inquiry as to how
to prevent bees from swarming Elias
Fox, in Bee Gleanings, says: 81 have
thought of this great deal; and the
more think of il the more firmly am
convinced that we all have non-swarm-
ers II properly manipulated. In other
words, believe that, instead of its be-
ing natural for bees to swarm, 1t is
the reverse. or course, there are ex-
ceptions to all rules; but swarming
according to nature Is the exception
(barring Carniolans). Give your queens
plenty Of room as needed at the proper
time, and the workers the same, and
will guarantee the rule will be no
swarming--at least in this latitude. I
presume these few remarks will cause
the beekeepers to swarm: but try this
simple method and you will hive your
selves automatically.

High Praise.

From the Covington IVA Sentinel
of February 10, we have clipped the
following concerning former citizen
of this county:
The Old Dominion Sun, Staunton,
Va, of the 1lth instant, contained
the following very complimentary no.
tice of one of our most esteemed citi-
zeus, aud in copying it we desire most
heartily to second the proposition of
our contemporary and to add, that
while Mr.. Garrett is a Republican
dyed in the wool, yetihe enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of all alike as a
high-toned, honorable gentleman. We
feel that better selection could not
be made than to elect him delegate
TO the Republican National conven-
tion, and we are glad The Sun has
proposed his name
"The Sun wishes to propose the
name of Hon. Harvey L. Garrett, of
Allegheny county, for one of the del
egates from this district to. the Chi
cago convention. Mr.. Garrett was a
member of the last Legislature and
was only defeated for membership in
the present body iby' an extremely
small plurality. He.is not Federal
office holder, but was always elected
by the people. No man in the Tenth
district can better represent us at the
Chicago convention than Mr.. Garrett
and we sincerely hope.it will be the
pleasure of the BuenaiVista conven-
tion to elect him"

Whether taken as whole or in
part, "Arizona" holds the attention
of both the casual playgoer and the
one who wishes to go deeper into the
story of the passions of life. The
environment is such that one finds
ceaseless attraction in this bit of
dialogue or that bit of action. The
characters are such that the soldier,
the cowboy and the woman, one after
another occupy the principal place.
Having chosen an appealing theme
for his story, Augustus Thomas, the
author, also selected a collection of
people who could not only preserve
all the virtue which there is in the
central idea, but who would each, by
the contrast to the other, carry out
the central plan, and make this mimic
world seem like a real one. The force
of the characters and the excellence
of the situations are backed up by
dialogues which Is ALWAYS brisk, as
the talk of the West should be, and
which has a lightness now, or a
sombreness then that is as distinct as
the mountains and the shadows that
form the background of the scenes.

A TALK ABOUT EGGS.
Very Little Difference In Nutritive
Value of the Product of Vnri-
Gus Kinds of Fowls.

The Maine experiment station has
been examining into the composition
and physical characteristics of different
kinds of eggs and finds that duck eggs
have apparently the smallest proper
ton Of shell. the shell in this case be-
ing about 1916 per cent. of the whole
weight Of the eggs. The average Of "a
samples of hens eggs in this respect,
having an average Of ia per cent. of
the whole weight. The shells of the
goose eggs averaged 1928 per cent. Of
all. Guinea fowl eggs should be unusu-
ally strong as their shells form 14.4
per cent. of their weight. The whites
Of the eggs in proportion to their total
weight ran, goose, SIG; duck, 53.6;
guinea, $50; turkey, 565 The proper
tion of yolk to the whole egg ran.
guinea fowl, 32; duck, 33; goose, 34.G,
and turkey, 301.
About 20 per cent of the edible por-
ton Of eggs is pure water. The pro-
tein centent is about IA per cent,
and the fat about the same. This
makes eggs very valuable food. Most
of the protein is in the whites of the
eggs, and most of the fat in the yolks.
Taking the egg as whole, including
the shell, the fat content ranges from
about nine per cent, in turkeys, hens
and guinea fowls eggs, to over IL in
the eggs of ducks and geese. The pro-
tein content runs from II to 13 per
cent. in eggs of all varieties Of fowls
named. There is really little difference
in the nutritive value of the different
kinds Of eggs.
