TeGdinm Grain to Horses.

Many horses have a bad habit when
fed oats. shelled corn, or dry ground
feed, of filling the mouth with the food
and then turning the head away so
that much of it drops out Upon the
ground and is wasted. On a large
farm where all the grain is home
grown, and there are chickens running
at will through the stable, the real
waste is not great. But in the case of
those who have to buy all their feed
and whose chickens can not pick up
the dropped grain. the loss is a serious
matter.
We know q case where the loss has
been prevented by putting the feed
into a nose-bag and slipping the cord
over the head back of the ears. The
bag used in this case is a regular feed
bag such as is used by draymen and
Transfers in cities to feed without I'M
hitching. They are made Of heavy can
vas with a wooden bottom, there are
holes in front for ventilation While h
horse is eating. They cal be bought
at any harness store for about seventy
five cents. It is a little more trouble
to feed in q bag than just putting the
grain into & box, but the saving is am
pie pay for all the trouble.-Florida

BOY WORTH $4,000, 600.

A fourteen-year-old boy struggling to
richest boy in the world" and three
women fighting equally hard for a por-
ton of the wealth that gave him the
title, is the situation disclosed in dis
patches from Los Angeles, Cal, where
Mrs. Henry X. Shields. a sister; Mrs.
Arthur Little and Mrs. Russell Price,
nieces of the late William Ziegler, be-
gan a suit to contest the will of the
multi-milliOnaire, who beQueathed the
bulk of his immense fortune to his
adopted son and namesake.
They declare that they, closest of kin
with the exception of Mrs. Ziegler, the
widow, were completely cut off by the
baking powder magnate and patron of
Arctic expeditions, and ask that the
law give them 4 share of the $3O.0O0,-
GOO, which represents the value of the
Ziegler estate that young Willie Ziegler
inherited.
Coming S 500 after the death Of
Mr.. Ziegler this suit renews the wide
interest in the lad who, though only
fourteen years of age, is considered the
wealthiest boy in the world. and one
with a great future before him.
For it was an unwritten legacy left
to him by his foster father that he
must find the North Pole should the
Fiala expedition sent out months be-
fore Mr.. Ziegler's death fail in it's at
tempt.
Mr.. Ziegler died late last May after
a long illness. Before his death it was
known that he would make little Will
ian, his adopted son, his principal heir.
The story of young Ziegler's life,
what it has been and what it holds for
the future, is an extremely Interesting
one. The son of his foster fathers
brother, he was taken into the Million
aires household at a very early age.
Childless themselves. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ziegler determined to give him all the
love and attention of parents and to
this end they decided to legally adopt
him.

Away From the Rush.

'If you want to see real country life
come with me and I'll show it to you,
and within fifteen minutes journey,
too,' remarked a friend Of mine.
We crossed the river en- the little
ferryboat for Upper Rensselaer,. Tho
scenery is very fine at this time, and
we enjoyed a long walk immensely
without feeling the heat that was
blistering Albany. On our way back
we stepped into the tavern. We had
to wait quite a while before we got
served. The reason? The proprietor
was having his portrait painted. This
may sound extravagant, but he was
having his picture painted. not "taken."
In the middle of the barroom, sur
rounded by his paraphernalia for work
ing, stood a typical travelling artist.
Seated against the wall was the pro-
prietor, and the likeness which the
artist was painting in oil on the can
vas was a really good one.
"The last time 1 witnessed such A
sight remarked my friend, twas years
ago and away up in the heart of the

About Autumn Chickens.

Raising fall chickens, to some extent,
is a pretty general custom, and a good
one, too. we think. But, our oDserVa-
tion is. that as a rule they are started
too late in the season-the setting OF
hens. we mean. For, liz spring
matches. the earlier ones are the best.
Most people wait until September TO
set fall eggs. when the best time is six
weeks earlier. In fact, the chicks that
come out between the tWenty-hfth OF
July and the first of September make
the best progress. the most rapid ana
the largest growth. Last year we set
eggs from the first of July until the
first Of October with a view of raising
late chickens: and the truth is, that,
while the July and early August
Matched chickens size up in weight,
etc, almost With the spring Matched,
and are still developing, those that
were hat~led in September and Octo-
Der are n~oticeably smaller-the eggs
from the bullets being decidedly under
sized. Plumage plays an important
part in the matter of growth with the
late-hatched chicken, and the bic
that comes out early enough to get a
fairly good coating of feathers While
the weather is still mild, will continue
an uninterrupted growth during the
winter; while those that are Matched
so late as to be still unfeathered when
the chilly blasts begin to blow will still
be undeveloped when the spring shall
have come again, for it is certainly
uphill business for an ~illy-feathered
chicken to make rapid growth in cold
weather.
In view of these facts, we advocate
early autumn and fall Matching. for one
early August brood is really worth
two Matched as late as October. An
other thought, the person who aspires
to raise chickens for market now,
should hatch them off as soon as pos
sible. 1t is possible to begin now and
raise 4 number Of late chickens up to
the frying size, and market them long
before the season is entirely gone.
Hatched by the middle Of August or
first of September, they would have
eight to ten weeks in which to grow
while it should be mild and pleasant.
Indeed, as we view it, based upon past
experience, now is an suspicious time
in which to hatch and develop early
autumn chickens, either for market,
or for utility at home.-H. B. Geer, in
Southern C%ultiyatOr.

TO CATCH the MAIL.

A hammock mail receptacle is a veri-
table novelty, which also deserves at
tention because of its many merits. In
the first place, it is readily attached to
or detached from the usual l%etter-drop
opening, the advantages of which are
obvious. In the second place, it shows
at a glance whether there is any mail
to be removed, and it's character. In
the third place, its ample proportions
allow it to accommodate a large num-
Der of magazines or similar bulky arti-
cles OF mail, and yet it does not or

School of Road Building,

It is announced that the Iowa State
Highway Commission will conduct the
first good roads school in America at
AL extra session of the State College,
at Ames. The Good Roads Associa-
ton has wisely decided to hold it's an
nual meeting simultaneously with this
session so that the attending members
may have the benefits Of the system
attic. practical instruction which will
be given in the fundamental and essen
tial features of road building and
maintenance. An extensive exhibit of
modern road building appliances will
be shown in operation by experts in
the different lines of work, short sec
lions Of road being constructed during
the demonstrations. The all important
principles of road drainage for both
surface and soil water will receive
proper attention, and full detail plans
for culyerts and drainage systems will
be available. Road surveying and pro-
file map work are also included within
the scope Of the lectures.

Preparing Land For Corn

l.. G. B.. Catawba, writes: Where
turn under rye and crimson clover
for q corn crop and then use forty to
fifty bushels Of rock lime to the acre
would 800 pounds OF sixteen per cent.
acid phosphate do. Expect to work
the same land in corn again next year.
Answer: You are certainly preparing
your land we'll for corn By ploWing I'M
der rye and crimson clover. Crimson
| clover is to be preferred because it is
a lesuminous crop and will thus add
largely to the available supply of nitro
gen in the soil.
By rock lime you possibly mean the
ground rock before it has been burned.
Caustic lime is much more effective
and is to be preferred on that account.
and I do not presume there is very.
much difference il the cost of the two.
Fifty bushels of rock lime is not 4
heavy application, however. as it be-
comes very slowly available in this
form. Twenty-Five bushels of burned
lime Will be a good application and it
should not be made more than onca in
tlllCS " HNH SttlS. 1IlCC
pounds of sixteen per cent. acid phos-
phate is a liberal amount to use OF one
Of the very necessary clements needed
in a corn crop, for you recognize that
PHOSPHORUS has largely to do with the
formation Of grain. and as a rule there
is not very abundant supply of it avail
able in our soils. You might add fifty
pounds Of muriate potash to your mix
ture with advantage for corn.
While land treated as you propose
will grow good crops Of corn for sew
eral years it is not advisable to bring
corn on your land year after year I'M
less it is absolutely necessary. Put
it down in clover and grass for a year
or two and then grow some other GER
cal, such as wheat, oats or barley, and
give it a rest from corn, and the land
will continue to improve and grow
larger crops from year to year.

TOPICS OF INTEREST TO THE PLANTER, S7ocKMAN Aa0 TRUCK GROVER,

as is described in the following from
the Family:
An object lesson in daily manage
ment was furnished me recently, which
helps to- prove a common error among
a certain class of farmers. This farm
er sold to the butcher two very young
calves that had been with their dams
getting all the milk for seven months.
They weighed a little over 1000 pounds
and sold for $31. The farmer was
pleased with the transaction, and re-
marked that he vas making some
money. Upon investigation l learned
some facts which will illustrate what
I have in mind. The COWS were good
grade S~horthorns, above the average
as mixers.
They were fed on fine blue grass pas
ture. and I estimated that While these
calves were following them they gave
at least fifteen pounds OF milk each
per day for the seven months period
Thus the two calves consumed at least
$500 pounds of milk, which at a very
moderate estimate would have been
worth $50 to S34 if sold at the shipping
station in the form of cream. 1t is not
surprising that the calves We're very
fat. fed on such expensive iced. AT a
moderate estimate and with good care
he farmer should have sold at least
$50 worth of milk and cream from each
cow and raised a calf worth $40 Oh the
skim milk. or as much profit from one
COW as he received from the two.
This is but a concrete example or
what is taking place on hundreds OF
farms where the old idea is still held
that it pays to raise calves by giving
them the entire milk of the COW. One
of the greatest profits to be made from
the combined dairying and veal raising
is because of the fact that skim milk
will produce calves of almost as high
quality as will whole milk and at a
greatly reduced cost.
