Rape is a pasture plant, and does

Never go security for any one I'M

An overfed fowl is not a well-fed
fowl. She is developing so much fatty
tissue that her egglaying power will
be lessened or destroyed. The we'll
fed hen is one that has a properly bal
anced ration and is made to exercise
every day so that she can properly di-
gest it,
A higher average plane of quota
tons for raw wool seems inevitable
the world over and for some time to
come; and buyers for wooden goods
will be wise to note this as fact,
and to promptly adjust themselves
to the new situation.

Station has shown by test that where

than either green alfalfa or bluegrass
1T is good for hogs of all ages, but it
will pay better to feed it to pigs than
older ones. They make larger gains
on the same feed.
An English fiockmaster does not

A Paris chemist has produced
colorado imitation" Of the ordinary
egg of commerce. The shell is made

carbon and beef fat and the yolk is
composed of a mixture of beef blood
and magnesia, cOlOred with chrome
yellow.
General consumption of horses in
Chicago has this year up to the mid
die Of June expanded about 1000 head
as compared with last season. This,
despite the depressing effects of the
Transfers strike, shows a most salts

1905 total something over u per cent
more than for the same period of
1904.
Governor Charves, the first ruler of
New Mexico under the Mexican Re
public, had 100000 sheep which, it is
said, were herded by 2,700 herders,
who were always on the range with
them. From his time the size of the
flocks steadily diminished Until a few
years ago the last of the old-time
sheep kings, Don Jose Leandro Perea,
of Bernalillo, on the Rio Grande, died,
leaving 100000.
In view of the competition between
the United States and Argentina for
the frozen mutton trade Of Great Brit
ain, figures showing sheep supply of
Argentina are interesting. Official
South American organs give the num-
Der Of sheep in the province of Buenos
Ayres in 1904 at 75,SOO,000. On Jan
uary the United States was esti-
mated to possess 100000 head of
sheep
There does NOT seem to be any prac-
teal need of moisture about the nest
of a sitting hen. Sometimes they
ha tch every egg whether fiat on the
ground or deep in the hay in the barn.
In the latter there certainly cannot
be any moisture The main thing is
to have good eggs and hen that is
naturally a good sitter if one sets mems
on eggs. The best plan is to hatch
artifCially.
How thick to Plant corn for silage
depends SON awhat on local conditions.
says Hoards Dairyman. Professor
Hacker of Minnesota sOws about
thirty quarts of corn per acre, and
no ears develop when sown so thick
ly. Mr.. Gurler of De Kalb, ILL.,, sows
in rows twelve quarts of seed per
acre, and fair sized ears of corn de-
yelop. 1t is rule Of many dairymen
to sow twice as much seed for silage
as they do when they wish to have
ears develop. About eight quarts of
seed per acre are usually sown for
silage purposes.

To Rid Hogs of Lice.
Hogs are very apt to become lousy,
and how it does lessen their thrift,
In just one minute l put on material
that destroyed every louise on one hog.
With the potato sprayer, the tank con
timing kerosene, l sprayed the TANKS,
the roots of the ears and the hinder
parts about the tail. The hog socl be-
gan to thrive as though approaching
the change. 1t is a great mistake to
let lice make a hogs life miserable
and consume the owners profits.
