an expert on handwriting, having
been employed in many of the big
trials throughout the country.
After certain preliminary ques-

cut the fact that Mr.. Hay had
carefully examined numerous

Slow Progress in Cattle RAISING.

Mr.. P. M. Mccartney, a farmer liv.
ing in Illinois, says that many
farmers he knows do not properly ap-
p%reciate the improved stock. He de-
sires to raise high-bred Herefords, but
he finds that all the farmers about are
raising only animals with no pedi-
grees. He declares that they think if
an animal has four feet and a head,
this is about all that is necessary. He
has tried both kinds himself and, in
fact, has both kinds to-day. He has
had them pasturing this summer side
by side. One high-bred Hereford has
been in the pasture with the other
cattle, all of which were raised from
cows by him. The high-grade Here
ford has been fed no more than the
other animals and cost no more as a
calf, but is to-day worth for beef at
least SO more than any of the other
cattle.
He would breed his grade heifers to
a Hereford bull, but there is no Here
ford bull in the n~eighborhood, nor is
there any other male representative of
a good beef breed within reach. This
illustrates a fact that we have many
times called attention to, that the lack
of good bull is a cause for the slow
progress in cattle improvement, in
localities where the farmers keep but
a few cows each.
In such localities the only remedy
is for the cow-owners to form a CO.
operative society for the purchase and
maintenance of good bulls for service
in their herds.

Black Sheep,

Black sheep were very prominent in
the focks of old times, and they have
remained numerous in the focks of
modern times, but have been used
mostly for mutton. Before the advent
OF the great factories for the working
up OF wool, wooden goods were made
largely by hand, or with the help of
machines driven by hand or foot pow
er. AT that time the wool Of the black
sheep was highly priced, or priced as
much as the wool of the white sheep:
for with these two woods several COL
ors could be woven into garments.
There was the black garment, the
nearly white garment and the gray
garment, produced by combining the
two. Black cloth and gray cloth
of this kind had the advantage over
modern fabrics that there was no
question about their washing. Nature
had put the color into the black that
defed both soap and sun. But when
the big factories began to be estab-
lished, regular systems of coloring
were adopted, and the factory men
did not care to bother with the black
WOOL. AT least there was no premium
paid for it and the white wool re.
ceived the greater share of attention.
1t was not strange, then, that shep-
herds all over the country, in select
ing sheep for mutton, chose the black
ones. There was a desire to obtain
uniform wool. From that day to this
there has been a continual warfare
waged on the black sheep. The mum.
Der of black sheep, however, appear
ing in different f1ocks, still remains
large. There is a constant tendency
for the production of black sheep, and
in some countries at least half the
sheep are still black. 1t may be that
the day will come when we will again
have focks of black sheep as well as
focks of white shecp.-Frank Kidder,

Timothy and Glover.

There is a controversy as to which
is best for hay, clover or timothy.
With the thoughtful farmer there is
no for controversy. Each is
best in some circumstances. For the
feeding of dairy COWS / certainly would
not advise anyone to grow timothy, for
1t lacks in the protein elements so nee
essary for dairy cows. But it is far
otherwise when the crop is being pro-
duced to be sold on the open market
or to be fed to horses. Now, for most
purposes, the open market pays more
1or timothy hay than for clover hay.
n public has long looked upon tim
othy hay as a standard by which to
measure the value of all hays. I do
not think a man could raise hay far
superior to timothy and sell it for the
same price as timothy. Timothy hay
has obtained a reputation with city
men inc it will be many. many years
before they learn that timothy hay is
not the best for everything. It strikes
them as having substance, and for this
reason they feed it to every kind of an
animal they have that eats hay.
So if a man is going to sell hay he
should not mix them. But for himself
1t Will pay to mix them in growing.
Sow clover and timothy together and
get a good crop of exceptional value
Tor the dairy cows: It is also good
for the farm horses, for the clover is
rich in nitrogen, which is much lack
ing In timothy hay. Experiments have
been made in growing timothy hay
n clover together, with the result
that a greater weight of hay was pro-
duced from the same area than was
the case with either timothy or clover.
cannot explain why more of the two
should be produced than would have
been of the one, but the case is as I
tell it. I think, too, that there
is an advantage in handling the
mixed crop, as the two are more
easily cured than is red clover alone.
am not sure that stock like the mix
ture better, but am inclined to think
they do. The only disadvantage I see
In the growing of the mixed. crop is
thai it one wants to sell a load the

dining room in mahogany, the vast eb-

he led his visitor into the littlest bit Of
a OOH off the hall-a mere cubby-

and two chairs.

Keen the Horse Clean.

sN~SH s'~ IVA
When the horse comes into the sta
Bile with hair matted with sweat and
dirt, have him thoroughly washed,
and If it is cold weather, zee that the
horse is thoroughly dried at . once.
This drying a be done by rubbing
the washed portions with a dry, rough
cloth. A whisp of hay does the work
of drying but imperfectly. The horses
should be kept clean at all times. The
stable that is kept dirty necessitates
a greater amount of washing than the
clean stable and for this reason the
bedding should be abundant. Some
horses are very hard to keep clean,
as they paw away the straw under
them before lying down. Such a
horse will generally need to be.
washed every morning.
