Cow. MIX for EoaIs.


Among the feeds that are particu.
larly useful in the feeding of foals is
cows milk. There are many times
when colts cannot readily take solid
food, and at such times milk from any
source is useful. OF course cows
milk comes naturally to hand, on ac-
count of its abundance. Both whole
and SKINNED milk have been extern
sively used for this purpose by indi-
vidual farmers and at the experiment
stations. Whole milk is fed with less
disturbance to the bowels than skim
milk. at least at first. When skim
milk is fed it is best to give only a
small amount at first, till the animal
has become used to 1t.
The fat in the whole milk helps the
digestion of the milk. and il whole
milk is being fed change should not
be made to the skinned milk with
out reducing the quantity for time
1t is probable that ten pounds of skim
milk is equal to one pound of grain.
Skimmilk is rich in the elements that
make bone and muscle. but the feed
ing should not be overdone. Certainly
not all the colt wants should be fed.
Over feeding will prove DISASTROUS

Paper Milk Bottles.

That the glass milk bottle may be
largely replaced by the paper at no
very distant day now seems probable.
There are many points in favor Of the
use of paper bottles, one of the most
important being that the bottle Is dis
carded after 1t is once used. thus obvi.
ating all chance of infection through
the repeated use of unclean bottles.
The many difficulties which have been
hitherto encountered in the attempted
manufacture of paper bottles have
been nearly all overcome. They are
stamped out of heavy paper in conf.
cal shape. with the lower edges locked
in such a manner as to be strength
ened by pressure from above. The
stout cover has protruding lips which
make its removal more convenient.
After the edges of the bottle are
sealed they are covered with paraffin.
Lastly the finished receptacle is stey.

Notes on Potato Blight.

The spread of potato blight is OF
deeper interest to the potato grower
than the spread of the potato bug pest
because the blight is more insidious
and harder to check.
Spraying Is the most effective meth
cd of preventing potato blight, but it
must be used before the blight has ap.
peared. that the tender fungi may be
killed as soon as they reach the sur
face of the potato foliage.
The blight plant grows up inside
the potato plant and is not noticed till
it begins to produce seed, drawing all
of its sustenance from the potato
plant When the black spores appear
the mischief is then mostly done. That
is why spraying at that time is large
ly ineffective.
Spray with Bordeaux mixture, which
is made by combining pounds of cop
per sulphate, pounds of fresh lime
and so gallons of water. The spray
ing should be done during the first
two weeks of July. Get ready now
The earliest potatoes are not gen.
orally affected by blight. The me-
dium and late varieties are the ones
that have to be looked out for.
Some of the eastern potato growers
are trying to develop a potato that
will be immune to the potato blight,
and they claim to have grounds to be-
lieve that success is possible. May
their efforts be crowned with success.

RoJEsTvENskY's REPORT.
Russian Admiral Tells the Story Of
His Defeat.

St Petersburg, June 8.-The govern
ment has received a telegraphic re-
port from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky.
dated at Toxic June 9th. in which the
admiral states that at ] 80 on May
21th, he engaged twelve large Japan
ese battleships and armored cruisers
and twelve smaller cruisers.
At 2:30 it became necessary for
him to shift his quarters and his stan
on the battleship Kniaz Souvarof to
another part of the vessel, and at 1880
when the admiral lost consciousness.
owing to his wounds. 1t was found
necessary to transfer him and his stan
to the torpedo boat destroyer Bunya.
where already part of the crew of the
ship Oslabya, which sunk, had been
taken.
The supreme command. the admiral
says, was then transferred to Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff.
The Bunya became separated from
the rest OF the fleet during the night.
Admiral Roiestvensky said:
"In the morning we sighted the
armored cruiser Dmitri Donskoi with
two torpedo boats and transferred the
to the torpedo boat destroyer Bedovi.
which steamed ahead with the de-
stroyer Grosney.
"On the evening of May 29th I
learned that the Bedovi had sur
rendered to two Japanese torpedo
boats. The Bedovi arrived at Sasebo

The Manure Pile.

A manure pile just outside the sta,
BILE may not be much of an objection
in case of the beef steer or the horse.
but it is an objection when found Just
outside the COW stable. In the sum.
mer time there is always a disagree
able odor rising from 1t. and II the
cows have a partial ration of ground
grain. the flies that collect about the
manure pile are more numerous than
in the ordinary manure pile. The ma
nure should be kept away from the
stable during hot weather II at no
other time.
Every few days during the warm
weather the manure should be hauled
away and put where 1t will do the
most good. preferably in the garden.
When the weather is drying it is de-
sirable to get it under ground as soon
as possible. | know a man who has
a covered box in one end of his barn
yard, and into this he throws the ma
nure every day during the summer
time. The box Is built of heavy plank
and has a cover of plank. 1t shuts
down close enough to keep out the
flies and keep in the smell, most of it.
This is perhaps the easiest way of
keeping the manure pile from becom-
ing a nuisance during summer. The
only objection to the box is the
trouble of getting out the manure
when it is to be hauled away.-Hobart

shakespeare Plants.

Shakespeare Plants.
The above term Is a new one to us
and Is doubtless new to most of our
readers. The writer was looking over
some pot experiments being conduct
ed at the University of Illinois by Pro-
feisor Cyril G. Hopkins when he came
to one pot in which was seen an un-
usual condition of plant growth. The
pot contained soil in which was a
large amount of alkali SO much so
that plant life could make but little
headway in it. While in other pots
nearby where the soil was good the
plants stood two feet high, in this pot
most of the plants were of spindling
growth and not over four inches in
height. There were ten plants in
each pot, that the results might be bet
ter compared.
But in this pot was one plant that
lowered above its fellows. Professor
Hopkins remarked: THAT is what
the boys call a Shakespeare plant"
The writer measured it and found the
height to be % inches. Moreover 1t
had stooled out and had three large
stalks in addition to the principal
stalk. The volume of the plant was at
least thirty times that of the average
plants in the pots.
Now as to the cause of such a de-
velopment in an unfriendly medium.
Professor Hopkins did not wish to ex-
press his opinion as to the cause, for
the true scientist does not like to get
the reputation of being a guesser. He
wishes to send out to the public only
opinions that have a strong array Of
fYcts behind them, and in that he is
right. But the ordinary mortal can
not help reaching for possible inter
pretations of unusual things.
1t may be that this plant has the
power to resist alkali to such degree
that 1t is able to develop in spite of it.
If this is SO, its seed may be saved
and be planted in subsequent years to
get variety of wheat that cares moth
ing for alkali. The probability is that
there is much in this plant that is OF
value to the world, for such plants
have already been found among other
economic plants, such as cotton. We
have no doubt that the seed of this
plant will be saved and further expert
ments made with 1t.
There are, of course, other possible,
though not probable, explanations.
One is that the alkali is not evenly
distributed in the soil in which the
plant is growing and another is that
the water used in the pot has caused
more teaching out of the alkali in one
part of the pot than in other parts.
Such explanations will not, however,
receive much weight till they have
something more than mere conjecture
to back them. Doubtless the roots OF
this big plant ramify all over the pot

Average Stock Prices,

There was a time when the man
that received an average price for the
cattle, horse, or sheep he sent
to market made money on IT.,
but that time is not now. Then
land was cheap, labor was cheap. and
grain was cheap. Now all of these
are high. and the average price of an
animal does not often equal the cost
of the labor and feed that have gone
into him. This condition has grown
upon us till we find ourselves facing
the necessity of working out of it by
producing animals that will sell for
more than they do at present or dis
covering some combination of feeds
and care that will lessen the cost of
production. 1t is well to work along
both lines.

Choice Cattle.

One of the most common expires.
sions to be met with in the mar
ket reports is choice cattle are
in demand at top and nearly top
prices. That is the kind of cattle
that it pays best to raise. 1t does not
take any more time daily to feed an
animal that will make one of the
choice kind than it does to feed one
that will rate far down in the list.
Moreover. it will not require SO many
days of care. for 1t sometimes happens
that the choice animal is one that has
made his growth in years less time
than the poorer animal. The choice
animal is probably always pure
bred animal or high grade.

Horse Notes.

For the mare in foal an increased
quantity of good food is required.
Some farmers object to working a
mare in foal. but IL they are not
worked too much the mares and sub
sequent colts, will do better than II
the mares are left idle in the pasture.
Mares in foal should be worked
regularly and should not be made to
do work that will require hard pulling.
nor should they be kept unusually
long hours at work.
Idleness is not help to the horse
at any time.
The farmer that puts his mare with
foal into box stall. leaves her with
out exercise. and feeds her heavily, is
giving her conditions detrimental to
both her and her unborn foal.
When the horses feed is abundant
exercise should also be abundant.
Oats continue to be the best grain
that can be given horse in normal
condition.
BY intelligent feeding all horses
may be kept in a state where little
doctoring will be needed.
AS the horse never needs to lay on
fat Except to please the eye) a food
rich in protein viii be found more
profitable than a ration even slightly
overbalanced on the side of the car
bohydrates.

STOCK
Baby Beef.

Saby SGVbs
The other day was asked by a
neighbor why it was, If baby beef
was SO much in demand by the pack
ers and consumers, more of it was not
produced by farmers. I may as well
answer through the Farmers Review.
The chief reason is that most farmers
have not the kind of cows that can
produce calves able to grow into baby
beef. You can't make baby beef out
of any kind of an animal. 1t takes a
calf of fairly good breeding-a high
grade-to grow up into a good sized
animal before the flesh has become
beefy.
To get baby beef making conditions
we must have high grade cows of the
Durham, Hereford. Angus or Gallo
way breeds. II the grade is way up.
say seven-eighths pure, then we can
hope for calf that will grow rapidly
under good conditions of feed. At the
present time am not afraid that the
market for baby beef will be over
stocked. for l know that American
farmers will not greatly change their
ways in this generation. We have
been importing improved breeds for
half lifetime now, and yet most OF
our farmers are breeding with moth
ing in sight in the way of standard.
All right, we who have the high
grades will continue for some time
longer putting on the market baby
beef and making money out of it. Not
only is there demand for it here. but
there is great demand for it in for
eign countries. and that demand is
growing.-Albert Hicks, Cook Co., ILL.,,

Locomotives as Eoa.Makers.

An engineer asserts that the Lon,

discharge of steam into the air from
the 300 or more locomotives operating
in London area. One steam plant of
1000 horse power, the engineer fig
ures, will discharge into the air TWEEN
ty tons of steam per hour, or sufficient
to produce a fog twenty feet thick and
one mile square; and what plants with
a capacity of 100000 horse power can
do in the way of fog production may,
therefore, be easily estimated. The
proposed remedy is to convert this
waste steam into electric power

themselves are in many cases fire
proof. In some of the best stables
there is a tablet in front of each COW
giving her name, date of birth and
pedigree. Beside this hangs a slate
on which Is written the daily record
Of milk produced and the test, when
testing is done. The sick COW is taken
away from the other cows at once and
put into what is called a COW hospital.
The law does not permit the selling
of milk from sick cows.
Particular care Is taken that the
women, who do most of the milking.
dress for that particular act. The
mixers are not allowed to wear
sleeves below the elbow and are re-
quired to wash both the cows udders
and their own hands before beginning
to milk. Most of them wear white
linen caps and aprons.
The feed of the COW is looked out
for with great care, every weed In the
pasture being pulled up. The Danes
still hold to the opinion that weeds
eaten by the cows will taint the milk.
The cream is generally pasteurized.
The great secret. of the high quality
of Danish butter is its cleanliness. and
this accounts also for its long keeping
