Rye For Pasture and soiling.

Rye is not half appreciated by the
American farmer 1t is very hardy,
viii grow on the poorest land, makes
good winter and spring pasture and
if sown early enough makes good fall
pasture. It is a good early spring soil
ing crop. 1t makes a fair quality o.
hay if cut in bloom or before, and il
always sells at good prices and make
the best of bedding for cattle anG
horses. 1t is also an excellent green
manure crop for turning under in early
spring. While it does not add nitrogen
as the clovers do, it makes a great
deal of humus, and thus improves the
texture of wornout Soils. 1t will
grow in any section that can grow
any of the small grains. Where corn
or potatoes or cowpeas are grown after
corn, rye may be sown in the corn at
the time OF, '1aying by or may be
sown on the stubble after the corn is
cut and be plowed under in the spring
for any of the crops mentioned.-W. j.
Spillman.

milk supply very much, and if little
silage be fed to the calves it would
make them very sappy and thrifty.
With all this ready before the calves
are born they should be welcome at
any time. and such COWS as give the
richest milk and are easily miIlled
should be milked by hand, and those
with faulty udders, short teats and
hard mixers, or with any bad habits,
are better used for nurse cows, whether
they are heifers or mature cows.
a newborn calf should draw it's first
drink from it's own mother, and it Is:
better to keep it with her a few days.
then put it in a sack, hind end first
and let its head stick out and tie the
sack so as to give the calf no chance
to get out; take it to the COW which is
to nurse it and lay it ON the floor be-
fore her. OF course it will struggle
and thus excite the COW, but that is
what is desired, for-call it mothers
instinct, pity or what not-the fact is
she will soon start to lick the caIf's
head, and you may withdraw your
sack, and the battle Is more than half
won, as most cows do not object to
nursing it ut once, but if she should
kick at it rope may be tied around
her just in front of the udder for
few times to prevent kicking

They should be ready to be weaned

for sale they should bring strong prices.
The shed should be covered with any

but If they are handled as described
they may be taken away from the

THE HORSEM

Henry EXall, the leading breeder of
trotters in Texas, issues a warning to
horse breeders in which he says: The
rapid increase in the value of all
good, useful horses will very material.

Hundreds of people will start in an en-

Notes For Breeders.
Oats are a natural and nutritious
horse feed.
The stall ought to be nine feet long
and five feet wide, says KimbalPs
Dairy Farmer.
Scrub horses are neither profitable
nor satisfactory.
In training young colts drive them
with 1aSI walker.
Do not whip frightened horse. L.
only adds to his fright.
Some people curry their horses dur
ing the shedding season only.
A horse naturally feeds from the
ground. Avoid high managers.
The mare that is sucking colt is
doing double duty and should not be
required to perform as much hard
labor as the other horses.
All trouble in kicking, rearing anc
stubbornness generally arises from i'm
proper handling or not sufficient han
ding to adapt horses to usage.
You can better afford to starve you:
horses any other time than during the
first year of their existence. A stunt
ed colt seldom makes a well developed
horse.
Treatment that may entirely break
one horse of bad habit may entirely
fail on another. 1t is hard to lay down
rules that will work well in all cases.
Horses are classed in the Chicago
market as drafters.. loggers and feed
ers, chunks. expresses. farm mares,
light drivers, actors and coachers.
The last class brings the best, mon
ey. Light drivers come next But
OF ali the classes the drafters are the
most profitable because they can be
put on the market cheaper. It's a biS
proposition to fit up team OF light
drivers or coachers that win eel for

MEDICINAL PLANTS.
They Were Cultivated In Gardens In
the Elder PIinys Time.


the Elder PIiny's Time.
After the discovery of the med
ical properties of plants it must
have followed in course of time that
representatives of the species to
which remedial properties were at
tributed should be collected and
grown in some place conveniently
and readily accessible, as need de-
manded. The last step did not i'm
mediately follow, however, since
among the conditions which were
earlier supposed to influence the
potency of medicinal herbs, the 10
cality in which grown and the mys-
teries attending their collection
were of the greatest Importance.
The first authentic record of the in
PRODUCTION of medicinal plants into
cultivated plots of ground dates no
farther back than the time of the
elder Pliny, 1919 A. D., who writes
of the garden of Antonius Castor,
at Rome, in which were grown a
large number of medicinal plants.
This step may have been taken
much earlier by the Greeks, Chi
nese or Mexicans, however.
Later the Benedictine monks of
northern Italy paid great attention
to the growing Of remedial herbs
and devoted an important proper
ton of the monastery gardens to
this purpose. This practically was
also carried beyond the Alps, and
in 1920 a garden was in existence at
the monastery of St. Gall, in Swift
zerland, a few kilometers distant
from Lake Constance, which CON
tanned sixteen plots occupied by
medicinal plants. A garden of this
character was founded in 1909 at
Salerno and another in Venice in
1880. In 1909 the Benedictine
monks founded an academy called
seCivitas Hippocratica" at Monte
Casino, in Campania, which ap-
pears to the writer to be among the
earliest schools, if not the first
school, of medicine and established
in connection with it "physics

Dry Bran For Young Fowls,

One poultryman scattered dry bran
about where the chicks could pick at it
and found that it worked wonders in
checking bowel trouble in chicks. Dry
bran is most excellent for both young
and cid fowls and acts as sort Of
stimulant to egg production. Give it a
trial if you have not done so already.

Coinmakins.

Coin of all descriptions is manu-
factured by dies which cut from a
metal rod the exact diameter of the
coin disks of suitable size, which are
called blanks. These are afterward
passed on to a machine which
stamps them with the devices en-
ployed on diverse and reverse and
mills the edges. The milling ma
chine is considered to be the great
est improvement in the manufac-
ture of coin, since, by its use, coins
cannot be Clipped as they were be-
fore it was employed Such wonder
full accuracy is shown by the stamp
ing machines that for coin to vary
in weight even single grain is very
rare. Every coin is weighed in bal
ances so delicate that they detect
the slightest variation and are so
adjusted that if a coin is too light it
is thrown to one side, If too heavy,
to the other, and if exactly right it
passes. on to the receptacle provided
for the perfect coins.

Nelson died at Meridian where
her husband, Rev. Willie Nelson,
and her brothers, Revs. J.. A. and
Luther Wells were attending COL
lege.
Her husband and brothers com
ing in for dinner last Thursday,
found her absent and nc dinner
prepared and at once began a
search and found her in a small
grove near the house, where il
was her custom to go each day to
pray at 8 O'Clock. 1t seems that
she died while on her knees. She
was apparently in fine health up
10 h time.
Her remains were brought back
to her old home four miles east OF
here, accompanied by her hus-
band two brothers and friends.
and after the burial her brother.
Rev. Luther Wells, returned, ac-
complained by a friend to their
old home, and just as they were
passing through the gate he fell
dead. He appeared to be in good
health. Heart failure is said to
be the cause of his death.
They were both members of the
church and devout christians.
