Root Crops to Cows.

Those who have fed root crops TO
cows, and especially have fed ruta-
bagas, will understand their value, and
those who oppose the feeding of root
crops have either fed them improper
ly or have given them to the animal
when she was already well fed with
grain. While ii is not intended y ad-
vocate the feeding of root crops as 4
substitute for regular rations, it is a
fact that they might be more largely
fed than they are with a correspond
ing decrease III tie feeding of hay or
grain. good plan in feeding ruta-
bagas is to cut them up in small pieces
and mix them with the grain feed,
giving them the ration at night In
the morning the hay ration can be
somewhat reduced as a result, and IL
one has sufficient of the root crops an
other liberal feeding could be given
at noon.
As to the quantity of rutabagas
safe to feed a COW this depends some
what on the animal, but more on the
daily ration of other things Gener-
ally speaking, a peck or 50 a day viii
keep the animal in good condition as
to her digestive organs, though it will
not be sufficient to materially decrease
the regular ration. Some dairymen
feed a bushel a day safely and find
they can reduce the hay and grain ra-
tons in consequence and the COW be
all the better for it. Root crop feed
ing is well worth experimenting with.

Birds Save the Crops.

If the army of the birds were de-
stroyed, it has been estimated that in
the course of nine years the world
could not be inhabited by man, and,
in spite OF all the sprays aud poisons
that could be manufactured for the de-
struction of insects. All crops, all
fruits. everything vhich supports hui
man life, would, in a comparatively
short period of time, be destroyed by
slugs and insects.
In some parts Of the United StgteS
a bounty is placed on the head Of the
red shouldered hawk and few other
birds. but it is the conclusion Of those
who have examined into the case that
IL the bounty could be $500 fine on
those who kill the bird. instead of %
cents to the bird slayer, our laws
would operate on the right side.
A redstart has been known to eat
COO flies an hour, and a blackcap has

Keeping Clean Hogs.

If one has hog that roots, then
ring him or her, and that trouble win
be over. AS a matter of fact, only Il
small proportion Of hogs care to root
if they are well raised, given shade
in summer, plenty of variety in food,
warm bed in winter and good water
to drink. The same thing applies to
Wallowing. OF course, if hog makes
a place in the soil in which TO lie, and
the rain fills the hole with water, then
the animal will wallow, but what Is
easier than to fill in the depression
with soil and break up the wallowing
habit? If one expects to keep the hog
grounds free from filth and stencil as
he does his stables, let him give them
the same care, and there will be no
trouble. The writer knows of a hog
farm whose owner makes most COM
Portable profit yearly with young pork
because he advertlses in local papers
and invites the public to visit the
farm and see the clearly manner in
which the animals are raised. Ow-
ing to the proximity of the farm to
the town, many take advantage Of the
offer, visit the farm and become regu-
lar customers. This is one of the many
ways of making the farm pay.

CUTTING UP THE RANGES.

Vast Tracts of Land In the Southwest
Being Given Up to Farming.
Conditions in the great ranch coun-
try of the Southwest were never in
better shape for the homeseeker and
investor. says S. A. Hughes, general
immigration agent of the Frisco Sys-
tenn, who has just returned from an
extensive trip through Texas. The
cattle ranches are being generally cut
up and sold out in small tracts to
farmers from the East and the North.
One railroad system has been carry
ing about $500 homeseekers into the
cheap land districts along its line each
month for the last two years, and the
other southwestern roads have been
doing nearly as large business. Con-
sequently it is safe to say that Okla
boma, Texas, Indian Territory and Ar
kansas have increased at the rate OF
10000 settlers a month. The invasion
OF the ranch lands has come from
Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nebraska, In
nois. Indiana and Kentucky.

been feeding their cattle in pens and
fattening them on crops grown 10y

first glance it would seem that the En-

handicapped in their trade with China
on account of the many dialects that
are spoken in that country. But these
difficulties have been removed long
ago. for a fiourishing trade has been
carried on with the fiowery kingdom
by the English for many years. In
order TO make themselves understood
che English merchants have adopted
a iargon known as pidgin English,

the combination of the roots plowed
