CUCKOOS AND COWBIRDS.
A Bad Lot-Other Birds Are Driven to
Desperate Measures BY Them.

With all its vagaboud ways the cow
bird is scarcely as bad as the English
cuckoo. 1t has all the sins of the cow
bird. to which is added the worse one of
turning the legitimate birdlings out of
their nest.
1t begins as soon as it is out of its
shell, and never gives up till all have
been thrown over the edge of the nest.
The strange thing about il all is that the
parent birds care so faithfully for the
selfish intruder, be it cuckoo or cowbird.
The presence of Il young cowbird in a
nest usually means that the smaller
birds are either smothered or starved to
death on account of its bulky body in
the tiny nest and its voracious appetite.
Some little birds, notably the yellow
warblers are wise enough to recognize
the strange egg, and to build n second
story to their nest thus shutting it
away from warmth enough to hatch it.
Sometimes, says a writer in Good
Health, they even build n third story to
cover up an egg that has been deposited
in the second story. But enough birds
are duped and imposed upon annually
so that the COW birds hold their own in
numbers with other birds.

Storing Winter Apples.

Many growers must be reminded OF
the Importance Of getting fruit to stor-
age as promptly as possible after pick
Ing. The United States Department Of
Agriculture has demonstrated that
fruit deteriorates more In few days
between the time of leaving the trees
and the time it reaches storage than 1t
does in as many months of storage at
low temperature.
1t was formerly thought necessary
to put apples in piles in the orchard,
to sweat" but this has been shown
to have been a mistake Don't do this ;
but, on the contrary, send your apples
to storage at once, in refrigerator cars,
If the weather is warm and the dis
lance Is great. Many of the best APP
pie handlers want their fruit in storage
before night Of the day it is picked, if
at all possible, and there is no doubt
that they are right in regard to this

The Story of a Medicine.

Nearly forty years ago, Dr.. Pierce dis

triple-retined glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree Of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid Of apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, eX-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world

From these endorsements, copied from

that the ingredients composing the "Gold-

only for the cure of the above mentioned
diseases, but also for the cure of all ca
tarrhal, bronchial and throat affections,
accompanied with catarrhal discharges,
hoarseneSs, sore throat, lingering, or
hang coughs, and all those wasting
affections which, if not promptly and
properly treated are liable to terminate
in consumption. Take DIR. Perce's Dis

Value In Cattle Foods.

The value Of cattle foods depends
largely upon their digestiblity. There
Is more protein in straw than corn fod-
der, but the latter is more digestlble.
Some coarse foods are valuable, how
ever, in assisting to digest the concen-
trated foods by giving bulk to the mass
and separating the materials, especial
ly when the coarse foods are reduced
to a fine condition. Even II but a por-
ton of the straw foods is digested, they
are prepared for the manure heap by
the animals and are thus increased In
value compared with wasteful use.

influence of Denorning.

Fourteen cows were subjected to the
tuberculin test by the Wisconsin Sta
ton and then dehorned. The milk of
these cows, as regards yield and com
position, was compared with the milk
of cows dehorned but not tuberculin
tested, of COWS tuberculin tested but
not dehorned, and Of cows neither de-
horned nor tuberculin tested. The re-
suit showed ON an average a decrease
of about 8 per cent in the yield of
milk for the first few days after de-
horning, but loss of only about per
cent in the yield Of butter fat De
horning, therefore, increased the fat
content of the milk .02T per cent. These
results are noted as being in accord
with the results Of Investigations at
other experiment stations which are
cited. The tuberculn test was appar-
emily without effect upon milk secre-

Raising Seed Corn.

The best way of raising corn for
seed, as followed in the West, says G..
w. Morrill, in Tri-State Farmer, is to
prepare seed bed or testing ground
Of from one to two acres far removed
from other fields. To begin with, no
ear should be used which Is imperfect
from which to select grains for the
seed crop, selecting such type OF corn
that you wish to grow, the work Of
selection should be followed year after
year, selecting the best ears that show
an improvement over previous years.
Any plant that Is deficient in any re-
quirement should not be allowed to de
velop a tassel, and especially barren
stalk.
AS to corn feeding, the seed plots
should not suffer for want of plant
food. From field experiments with fer
tilizers on corn in the West last year.
on soils Of average fertility, a higher
per cent Of potash than ordinary fe2-
tilizer contains gave remarkable re-
suits and would undoubtedly give sim
liar results on the average lands OF
Georgia. In Georgia last year were
used more fertilizers with corn than
was ever used in years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more attention
to the selection of seed, and intensive
culture, there is no doubt or reason
why the average yield of well-bred corn
should not be increased in the South,
and especially Georgia.

Best Crop for Pigs.

In the spring and summer, rye and
clover are used for pastures until the
pigs weigh about eighty-five to 100
pounds. Then barley is added until
some early variety of flint or sweet
corn is ready. Only a small field Of
this last is necessary, or an amount
sufficient to carry the pigs until the
field corn is denting. Then the pigs
are turned in small areas of the field
corn at a time, until they are fat. BY
fencing in and using these crops in this
order the cost of growing pigs is re-
duced to very low figure We know
Of several farmers who are following
this practice and are highly pleased
with il.
