l.. II. Kerrick, one OF the best-known
cattle feeders of Illinois, says:

And when a bunch OF steers are
found lying quietly, there ought to be
very good reason to justify arousing
them.

Home Instinct In cattls

There are three thousand head OF
cattle running loose in the Pinal basin
of Arizona and they are owned by
twenty men. Each aimal has a brand
on his hip as broad as a ham. and
crops, bits and underhacks galore IN
his ears. Beyond these marks OF own.
ership he is as free as a deer and
should he so select could wander from
the Mexican border to the Canadian
line without running up against a
barbed wire fence. Yet such Is the
simple nature Of cattle that they use"
in the country where they are born
and only the utmost stress OF wind
and weather will suffice to drive them
away. They are home folks" and
stick to their barren canyons and
water holes with all the devotion of
untutored rural man. The calf runs
with his mother and learns her WAYS
which become his ways. Il is upon
this home instinct that the practice of
western cattle-raising rests.-Dave
Coolidge in Sunset Magazine.

Moisture for the Treea.

In the case Of all fruit trees that
have been recently set out, the pro-
lection of the moisture supply is an
important point. When the trees have
become large their great branches will
so shade the ground that weeds and
grass will make very meager
growth and the sod will be
hardly existent. But in the
case Of young trees the branches
are not Of enough consequence to
shut of the light Of the sun from the
grass, and the latter will take about
all the moisture that gets into the
soil. IL the season is wet one this
is not OF so much consequence. but
In a season where drouth prevails to
any extent the loss to the tree will
be severe. The better way to protect
the trees is to put around them straw
or old hay or masses of weeds that
have been cut down. Where sweet
clover grows II may be made
a great ameliorant OF the soil, as II
will protect 1t and will. on rotting,
furnish 1t with some nitrogen. We
have found that when the earth
around young trees is simply spaded
up the dirt around the roots dries out
in dry time and the trees are In
jured seriously.

A Crop Of NubbIns.

Here end there we run across a
farmer that reports now and then
from a certain field crop OF
nubbins. II we ask him about
the field on which such a crop was pro-
duced we are certain OF receiving the
answer that the crop grew on a field
that had borne nothing but corn for
many years In succession. The more
worn out the soil. the more is the crop
Of corn likely to be a crop Of nubbins.
Ten years ago. even some OF our sci
entists were saying that corn could
follow corn for long series of years,
but they have changed their minds
about that. Corn does not need rota-
lion as badly as wheat, but 1t needs
II badly enough to refuse TO bear good
sized ears Of corn II we carry the one
crop succession too far.

Weeds In the strauhsrrIss.

In the strawberry bed the weed is the
hardest enemy TO fight. The grower OF
strawberries has little trouble with In
sects in most localities. but he is eter
nally troubled by weeds. among which
is grass. Probably grass is the worst
weed to be met with in the straw
berry patch, unless. indeed. It be the
extra strawberry plants that are per.
mitted to grow. The only way to
keep down grass is to keep the rows
OF strawberries narrow and the space
be tween either covered with some
smothering mulch or thoroughly cul.
tivated. Where great weeds grow up
in the rows they must be pulled before
they go to seed.

Two Blades Of Grass.

One of the oldest sentences in the

The oleo Battle.

The oleo battle does not draw much
interest at this time, for the reason
that the makers OF butter have
little fear that Congress will
again open up the matter with
any serious intention on greatly
reducing the tax on eolored Ileo. The
cleo manufacturers are claiDdng that
they cannot hope TO comp etc with
butter unless they are allowea TO color
their oleo, and want a greatly reduced
tax. But the oleo law has now been
in existence for a number If years,
and has proved to be a great success.
We hear little now of oleo bsing sold
for butter.

Dancer Of Wool Sorting.

Wool sorters have TO be care
full about the diseases of sheen
that are contagious as regards
man. The most dreaded OF these
is anthrax. An Italian chemist
has prepared a serum which is used
by some Of the Italian wool sorters
when they believe themselves endan-
gered by the presence of anthrax. II
is said that with this serum the death
rate has been reduced frola 20 per

1t is not so this year however.
During President Rooses elt's
administration he has shown a de-
termination to give all square

The president fully realizes the
power, for good or evil. of the
great corporations, especially the
railroads. and he insists that they
must be made to serve all alike
the rich and the poor.
The transportation companies
must be dealt with first, declares
the president
"The most important provision
which such law should contain Is
that confering upon some compe-
tent administrative body the
power to decide, upon the case
being brought before 1t, whether a
given rate is reasonable and Just,
then. after full investigation, to
prescribe the limit of rate beyond
which 1t shall not be lawful to 20
the maximum reasonable rate
this decision to go into effect with.
in a seasonsble time and to obtain
from thence onward, subject to re-
view by the courts.
1t sometimes happens, not that
a rate is too high, but that a
favored shipper is given too low a
rate. In such Case the com IN ,ssion
would have the right TO fix this a.
ready established minimum rate
as the maximum, and it would
need only one or two such decis-
ions to cure railroad companies of
the practice Of giv,ng improper
minimum rates."
A most stringent snti-rebate Law
IL urged.
Discussing the problem Of CAPT.
tai and labor, the president says:
In the past the most direful
among the influences which have
brought sbont the downfall of r..
publics has ever been the growth
OF the class spirit. II such y
spirit crowns up in this republic il
will ultimately prove fatal to US.

While the Chinese coolies
should be excluded, the president
urges the desirnbility Of admitting
Chinese students and business
men.
The president would establish

articles h- would make the duty
