Breeding From Sound Mares.

Sometimes mares that are valuable
are incapacitated in part or altogether
for successfully performing farm
work This happens in some instances
at comparatively early age. The
question which the owner has to face
is, shall he discard those mares alto
gether and give them away or put
them out of existence? Or shall he
try to make them pay their way and
give perhaps profit over and above
the cost of keeping by setting them
to work raising colts? To give advice
on such question is not easy.
1t would be safe to say, however,
that if the mares have become inca
pacitated for work because of some
injury to the limbs as, for instance,
the partial dislocation of some of the
Joints or a fracture of bone which
is followed by lameness. such mares
could be kept for breeding pur-
poses with the prospect of making
some money from keeping them. In
such instances there would be no dam
ger that they would transmit to the
progeny the ailments which have
come to them.
1t would also be correct to say
that brood mares may be affected
with certain ailments. that are usu-
ally classed with unsoundness, and
vet there would be little likelihood
that these would be transmitted to the

Sheep XIII weeviI.

Sam Jackson. who owns large
farm near Stephenville, Texas, claims
that he is entitled to the $4,000 re-
weard offered by the state. He has
discovered a plan that will rid the
fields of the great cotton pest, the boil
weevil.
His plan is to turn in either goats
or sheep about the time the cotton IS
forming squares. The animals will
defoliate the plants and thus effec-
lively destroy all the weevils. The
flock will then be transferred to the
next field and soon after the animals
are removed the cotton will soon re-
cover and make a good crop. Mr..
jackson notes case that occurred In
his neighborheed last year, as follows:
A neighbor owned flock OF sheep
and they got into nearby cotton field,
where they defoliated about two acres
turned over a COW and calf TO onset
the supposed damage. However, the
cotton plant soon put on a new fOllage
and squares and made a fine crop-the
best on the place.
Mr.. jackson argues from that that
the goats and sheep, In eating the
leaves, buds and squares from the cot
ton plant, would destroy all the wee
wills, and on this he bases his claim for
the $4,000 reward.

AMALGAMATION IN lows.

Judge McHenry at Des Moines re-
Gently refused the application of a
white woman for divorce from her
husband. She said she had been a
faithful helpmeet to the black man.
but without return. He persisted In
being a bad Niger" and she prayed
for relief In the course Of the case
1t was brought out that the mother
and six sisters of the fair applicant
had married negroes and that the
divorce courts had worked overtime
arranging the connubial infelicites of
this piebald family. The judge told
her to go back to the bed she had
made and lie in it and suggested
bluntly her need of common sense.
Judge McHenry's recommendation
was wise. The white woman who
marries or contemplates marrying a
negro should pray for common horse
sense. 1t is true that many negroes
are better husbands than are many
white men, but they are good husbands
to black women. A happy marriage
between the two races is rarer than
roses in January. There is something
about the admixture Of races that de-
moralizes both. 1t would be unjust
to say that respectable families of this
character do not exist. One such In a
northern Iowa town when the hus-
band is a respectable citizen and the
wife professedly contented and even
proud of her husband is u case in
point. Perhaps it is the only one in
Iowa.
Amalgamation is growing common
err in Iowa. 1t Is not uncommon In
Des Moines as evidenced by the case
cited 1t would seem that some res
friction other than the natural dis
taste of one color to the other were
needed Mixed marriages are degen-
eratfve and should be prohibited.
Since Desdemona played the fool and
Othello the barbarian nothing but
trouble and disgrace has grown out
of intermarriage between the races.

Matured Cows Are Best.

The production of milk and butter
fat by dairy cows under normal con-
ditions increases with each year up
to the fifth and sixth year when the
COW is at her best says writer in
bulletin from the Wisconsin expert
ment station at lIadison. The length
of time she will maintain her maxi
mum production depends on her con-
stitutional strength and the care
with which she is fed and handled. A
good dairy COW should not show any
marked failing off until after ten
years of age: many excellent records
have been made by cows older than
this. The quality Of the milk produce
ed by heifers is somewhat better than
that of old cows, for we find de-
crease of one to two-tenths of 1 per
cent in the average fat contents for
each year till the cows have reached
the full age 1t is caused by the in
crease in the weight of the cows with
advancing age; at any rate there APP
pears to be parallelism between the
two sets of figures for the same cows.
Young animals use a portion of
their food for the formation OF body
tissue, and it is to be expected, there
fore, that heifers will require a larger
portion. of nutrients for the produc-
ton of a unit of milk or butter fat
than do older cows. After a certain
age has been reached, on the average
z years of age, the food required for
the production Of unit Of milk or
butter fat again increases both as re-
CARDS dry matter and the digestible
components of the food. A good milk
! COW of exceptional strength kept un-
der favorable conditions, whose d.
gestive system has not been impaired
by overlooking or crowding for high
records, should continue to be prof
liable producer till her twelfth year,
altho the economy Of her production
is apt to be somewhat reduced before
this age is reached.
