American Hunting the Best.

Lord Headley of Aghaboe castle,
Killarney, Ireland, a noted hunter in
many jungles, who recently arrived in
New York, declares he prefers hunt
ing in America to any other land.
Some of the best hunting in the
world is IL this country" said Lord
Headley, according to a New York
special to the Kansas City Star. 81
don't think much of the sportsman
who goes hunting in Africa. Out there
you can almost knock game over with
a club. l have knocked about a bit
and the best hunting l have had was
in the Rocky mountains. The noun
tain goat is hard to get at and more
difficult to hunt than larger game.
There is plenty of work and interest
in stalking the goat, and the huntsman
must have nerve and staying powers.
The puma is more dangerous to hunt
than the African lion. He has less to
feed upon than the lion and win urn
on the slightest p~rovocation."

PREVENTING SWINE DISEASE.
Advice by r. p. Craig, Veterinarian.
Indiana Experiment Station.


The heavy loss from disease in hogs
is largely due to transmissible dis
eases. The organisms that produce
this class of disease usually enter the
body In the feed and inspired air.
Hence. muddy or dusty yards, espe-
cially IL o~Yercrowded and filthy, filthy
feeding floors, troughs and hog houses
are largely responsible for the preva-
lence Of hog cholera, swine plague, etc.
AS young hogs are less liable to resist
these diseases than healthy, mature
animals, the necessity of using pre-
ventive measures at this season of the
year is of double Importance.
During the spring and summer wal
low holes are formed in the yards and
pastures. In case the hogs run in a
large lot or pasture during the sum-
mer, it is often considered
sary to clean and disinfect the small
yards and hog houses and they be
come filthy and dusty. Muddy yards
are especially Objectionable, as they
soon become filthy.
If necessary, the sanitary conditions
of the yard a be improved by drain
ing them, keeping the wallow holes
filled in and taking the hogs out for a
few months every year. The unused
lots can be cleaned and put to good
use by blowing and sowing them to
oats, rape, COW peas, etc.
In no place on the farm are disin-
~fectants so necessary as in the hog
houses and yards. Whitewash should
be used about the houses at least once
during the rear. Every two or three
weeks the houses, feeding floors,
troughs, etc. should be sprayed with
a d~isinfectant. The tar d-isinfectants
are the most convenient to use. These
should be used in not less than two
per cent. water solutions. An occa-
sional spraying or dipping of the hogs
in a n per cent. water solution
should be practiced-
Young hogs should not be given
crowded quarters. In order to keep
them in a healthy, growing condition,
a proper diet should be fed. Healthy
individuals possess a certain amount
of power to resist disease, and this
plays no small part in preventing it.
The entrance of disease producing
germs from outside sources should be
carefully guarded against. especially
if hog cholera is present in the neigh
borhood. The danger of carrying the
germs in the mud and filth that may
stick to the shoes of a person who has
walked through yards where hogs are
dying of cholera" should be recog-
nized. Dogs, horses, cattle, stray hogs
and wagons may also act as carriers
of disease. The opportunity for crows,
buzzards and dogs to distribute dis
ease is not great in sections of the
country where the c~arcasses of the
dead hogs are disposed of by burying
Hogs from other herds should be
placed in quarantine for three weeks
before allowing them to mix with the
herd.
Keeping the hogs under the besi
sanitary conditions possible and using
the necessary precautions in prevent
ing infection from the outside, is tbs
most satisfactory method of avoiding
loss from this class of diseases.

insuring each animal his allowance of
the ration. The V shaped trough is
not well adapted for granting lambs
following weaving and should not be
used.
The diagram herewith shows a de
sign Of granting trough we have
adopted and used for many years with
excellent results. The trough may be
made any length desired. The end
piece is made out of a 2x12 inch
plank, followed in the center to light
en- the weight of the rack. The bot
tom and side pieces are made of three
fourths inch material. The stats are
lath nailed six inches apart. The
trough from the ground up is six
inches high, and the rack 26 inches
high.
The great advantage of this rack
is that the lambs cannot crowd and
the grain is put before them in an
acceptable condition for feeding.

When lambs are fed grain in an
open trough where the larger ones
crowd the smaller and weaker ones

ration than intended for them, they
are not only preventing the growth of
the latter, but are endangering their
wi appetites as well.

GOOD SEED CORN.
Some of the Important Points by
Which It May Be Known.

Some of the more important OBJ
servations to be made in the selection
of seeds are: Yield, quality, Uniform
ity, hardness, time of ripening, free
dom from attacks of smut and rust,
and, in the case of small grain, the
stiffness Of the straw.
The corn crop requires, perhaps, as
great care in the selection as any
other, and merits special attention,
says the Prairie Farmer. The rapid
improvement that has been made In
this crop, combined with the readi-
ness with which the different varieties
cross and mix, renders it extremely
subject to variation Constant care
is necessary in order to establish the
desirable qualities that are brought
out in these variations and to more
thoroughly eradicate those not desir-
able.
Some of the points to be observed
in the selection of seed corr are:
1. The size and shape of ear;
should approach as nearly as may be
a uniform diameter from end to
end.
2. Size and quality of cob, a me-
dunn sized cob being much better
than a large, spongy one.
8. Depth of grain.
4. Shape of grain; grains should
carry their wedge shape uniformly t o
the end, so that the ear may present
as nearly as possible a solid surface
8. Covering of cob; cob should be
as completely and evenly covered as
possible at both ends.
6. Hardness of grain, too hard and
finty a grain not being readily mas
ticated and digested. A hard grain.
also, is more liable to be a shallow
one.
Z. Grains of even, uniform size and
similar shape, to make possible uni
formity of planting.
s. Color of grain. purity Of color
indicating purity of the corn.

FEED MORE ROOTS
Stock Will Keep in Better Appetite
When Supplied with This Ration.

IN the United States cattle feeders
have gotten out of the habit of feed
ing roots to cattle, because of the
abundance of corn and corn fodder.
The chemist has also assisted in this
movement by showing that the nutri-
tive value of roots is not great, as
compared with the nutritive value of
the grains. But roots have a value
greater than that shown by the nu-
trients as determined by analysis.
There is a digestive value in the acids
and in the bulk that no chemical an
alysis viii determine. Roots have a
stimulating effect in that they please
the appetite.
Some roots are still fed to cattle
in the eastern states, where the Gus
tom began far back in the early set
Element of the country and has per-
sisted. Two reasons are found for
this. One, the early settlers were
from England, where root feeding was
common; two, the growing of corn is
a more difficult matter than in the
west, where the level fields make the
use of machinery possible. In New
England roots are still raised quite
extensively for stock feeding.
Some object to the feeding of tur-
nips to dairy cows, but this objection
is not to be met with in the feeding
Of beef cattle and of dry dairy cows.
Doubtless the corn and corn fodder
will be more effective when fed with
roots than fed without roots. Now
that the price of corn has risen to
such a height, it is necessary that its
feeding should be made as effective as
possible.
With the increasing price Of land 1t
becomes necessary to make every
acre produce as much feed as possible.
A very great tonnage of beets or tur-
nips can be grown on an acre of land
if the soil be properly enriched and
properly titled, says Farmers Review.
The tops as we'll as the roots can be
fed to beef cattle. The ~succulent
character of the roots insures their
complete digestion by the cattle.
Mangel wurzels are particularly
adapted to feeding, because they are
relished by the cattle and a be
grown in large quantities.

PUTTING Hoqs on Corn.

When starting the hogs on corn at
the beginning of the fattening season
care should be taken not to give the
hogs too much corn and thus injure
their digestion and destroy their appe-
lite. says A. j. Legg, Nicholas county.
w. Va. A sudden change from grass
and bulky feeds to such a concen-
trated feed as corn is likely to injure
the hogs and give them a backset
that they will not readily overcome.

with a glad heart, there is but n

Il am secretary of the noble Am
bassador of Plassenburg, and l come

And just then there came a clatter
of horses hoofs across the wide
spaces of the palace front, into which
the bright forenoon sun was now beat
ing, and a lady of tall figure and a
head all a-ripple with sunny golden
curls dashed up at a canter, the
stones spraying forward and outward
as she refined her horse sharply with
her hands low.

first officer. "Stand to it, Paul"
The two officers saluted stif1y, and
the lady looked about for someone to
help her to descend. She observed
Johann standing by the gate.
"Come hither!" she said, reckoning
with her finger.

manded.
The secretary gave it awkwardly,
and the Princess pumped rather
sharply to the ground.

elegant, and dressed in the highes
