The Head of the Herd.

The bringing of fresh male into
herd where every COW produces yearly
| 800 pounds Of butter or 10000 pounds
of milk is a serious problem, one call
| ing for the exercise of the greatest care
and skill at the command of the
breeder, yet how often do we find that
this future head of the herd has been
selected and purchased without being
seen and solely upon general descrip-
ton laying special emphasis upon blood
| inheritance.
The head is emphasized for the rea-
son that back of the shoulders we look
! for and insist upon the distinct dairy
type, the open spinal column, wide rib,

promise of udder development.
These we insist upon, but do we de-
mand the stamp of virle energy in
head and neck. the evidence of massive
masculinity, that strong, rugged head
with horns we'll set, abundant room for
brain development, good, clean face
of length and strength, with broad,

heavy nostrils? Do we require an eye

enough to be coarse, neither so small
as to indicate temper, a jowl broad,
strong and spreading, yet cleanly cut
at the throttle, and neck of such
strength and upward curve that it COM
pletes the picture and satisfies the pur-
chaser and breeder?
Against this head set the mild, fine,
short face, with small mouth, thin lips,
bright eye and a pleasant ear, and
you have the COW face on the bulls

such male is practical impossibility,

Hay as n Money Crop.

Hay is really very good money
crop, with prices ranging at SIS to $50
a ton. 1 prefer fall seeding for grass,
using corn or potato ground that has
been we'll manured with stable manure
and fertilizer Sow half bushel of
timothy and four pounds recleaned red
top per acre. The next spring topdress
with 300 pounds of fertilizer contain
ing high per cent. of potash, making
the application about May 1.
The topdressing is the key note of
successful crop. BY thorough prepar-
alton of the seed bed and high manur-
ing l secure three to four tons of the
best hay per acre, and have kept it up
for several years by simply repeating
the topdresslng every spring. Reseed-
ing is found necessary every five to six
years.-J. G. Schwink, Jr., in Massa-
chusetts Plough:nGn.

Black chiffon makes an excellent

Wide hats, especially those Of long

DON'T Feed Too Much Grain.

At breeding time set down the exact
date, and then you will know just
when to expect the pigs. If you want
strong pigs, you should neither keep
your sows penned up in muck hole,
nor stuff them on corn or sour swill.
Corn, If not judiciously used. is far
more injurious than is recognized. 1t
is an established fact with experienced
breeders that corn and cholera go to-
gether.
Brood sows should always have plen-
ty of range of either blue grass or clo-
yer, and two necessities of this range
are plenty of good, pure water and
lump of rock salt. Do not allow the
boar to run with the brood sows. Three
days before the pigs are due put the
sow in warm, dry bed Of her own at
night, so that she will become accus-
toned to it. Do not use too much bed
ding, as the pigs often get lost in it and
are chilled before they suck, and a
chilled pig is of no more value than a
dead one.
For thirty-six hours after the pigs
come all feed should be kept away
from the SOW. Then start with hand
full of bran, stirred in pint of new
milk. Increase the bran mash stead
lily, both in quantity and in thickness.
and at the end of a week one or two
ears of corn may be given. At the end
of ten days she may be put on full feed
again. This Is the way I feed in win
ter. In summer 1 prefer to let the
sow make her own bed out in the
fields. Then all 1 have to do is I'd
build a shelter over her and keep her,
supplied with water. She will do all
right on grass for the first ten days,
and then few ears of corn may be
given.
Starting the milk properly is the
most important and most tedious point
that one has to deal with in raising
pigs. Remember you have only one
chance to start the milk - the first
chance-and that opportunity gone by.
the game is UP until the next farrow-
| ing time.
If pig is not started right you can
never expect him to end right, and he
| is only an expense to his owner.-G. A.
c., in the Indiana Farmer.

practice where no contagious disease
exists in the animal, it is practice
that is not to be recommended, and
really should be prohibited by law.
AS the Voice has said before, all
dead animals or poultry should be
burned, but If this is not possible, bury
them at least three feet deep, and be-
fore throwing back the earth use at
least peck of quicklime over the car
'cass of pig, half bushel to 200
pound hog, or bushel over horse or
COW. Then fill up the hole and tramp
1t down well, with gallon Of lime on
top to discourage dogs from digging
the carcass out. We would go to ex-
ira pains and trouble to burn any ami
NAL dead of glanders, hog cholera, an
thrax or blackleg. believing that the

Mako the Hens Work.

= Keep the hens busy. Make them
work for their food. Exercise helps
digestion and makes rich, red blood,
and this means health and vigor. The
experienced poultryman knows that
the busy, active hen is the one that
helps to keep the egg basket full Scat
ter millet seed or other fine grain in
the litter and the hens will busy them
selves scratching it out. Hang up n
cabbage where the hens will have to
jump toreach it. Adopt any plan that
will keep the hens active.

Chicken House.

There has been a good deal said
about how chicken houses ought to be
built Just allow me to give our read
ers a few useful points regarding nat
ural heat during cold winter months.
A chicken house ought to have fiat
ceiling, either tar papered or plastered,
the walls, too. My reason for having
q fiat ceiling is so that the natural
warmth will be evenly distributed.

TO MAKE STARCH.

A good old-time housewife offers the
following rule for starch: Mix one
tablespoonful of starch with four table
spoonfuls of cold water and pour on
this three quarts of boiling water.
Boil for twenty minutes. Then add one
teaspoonful of salt and a piece of par
affine wax half the size of a nutmeg.
Stir until the wax is dissolved, then
cool and strain through cheesecloth.
To add lustre, soak the articles in this
preparation for six hours.

Rich Evening Effects.

Briliancy is the keynote. Should the
same color pace that has recently pre-

tropical birds in short time. At the

geousness have dazzled the eyes of the

Djaposfrg Of Dead AuiUq1ss
We have this query: "Has any tne
right to tthfow dead pigs into a stfe1Ih,
on his own land, So that they lay
wash down on my land?"
He certainly has no moral right to
do so, and most States have strict
law prohibiting such practice, under
penalty of being found guilty of mis-
demeanor, and fine or Imprisonment
following. 1t the case of animals
known to have died of contagious dis
eases the penalty Is usually greater
than for other dead animals, as it
should be. Some States have laws for
bidding any person to kill any dis
eased animal and feed the flesh to
swine, or to feed to swine any animal
that has died from any cause. In the
vicinity Of cities it is nothing unusual
for men to buy worn-out animals and
use them as poultry or pig feed, and
