Improve the Brood Mares.

We think the great reason why so
many ordinary horses are bred on the
farm comes from relying wholly upon
the stallion and paying little attention
to the character and breeding Of the
mares, says the Michigan Farmer. In
horses uniformity is worth money in
any market. especially in those OF good
class, whether they are heavy draushts
or carriage teams, and you cannot get
uniformity in the product except
through kindred blood. You cannot

stallion and get 4 pair CT matched
coils. Nature will not belle herself
and she has declared. so often and em'
pLatica!ly that like produces like,
and what you SOW so shall you reap
that it is useless to attempt longer
to co tie impossible.
So the first thing farmer should
do when he starts raising horses is tc
get brood mares of the class he wants
and with more or less of the blood
of the breed he proposes breeding then
to-the more the better. This will be
found equally advisable, whether he

To Kill q Caif's Horns. !


81 Reader" Dunlop, Ohio: I would
like to know what remedy to use to
kill the horns on a calf.
At any time before the calf is ten
days old the horn germ can be killed
by clipping of the hair from over the
button, then greasing with lard around
it, then moistening the end of a stick
of caustic potash and gently rubbing
it on the spot over the horn button
until the skin begins to slip, and the
Job is done. The stick Of potash must
be kept wrapped in paper. all except
the end used; also kept cool and Cry,
or it will melt; might add, While this
seems like a humane way to remove
the horns, it is a very painful way,
as it causes a slow burning pain for
hours, and. besides, animals that are
thus dehorned in calfhood are just as
pugnacious as though they had horns.
All there is Of it is that they can't do
the goring that they could with the
horns; but they can do a lot of bunt-
ing.-C. D. Smead, V. S., in the Trib-
une Farmer.

Mrs. Stokes Gives Picture of Life.

'All the world is small garden, en-

"It IS your wealthy man who travels

Of Disfranehisement in Georgia Shown
in Accepting denomination.
At Warm Springs, Saturday, Judge
w. G.. Adamson> was nominated for
congress for the sixth time by the
democrats of the fourth Georgia dis

his record were adopted. Judge Ad.
amsOn's nomination was unanimous
and enthusiastic. His speech Of ac-
ceptance was received with close at
teLtion AMI applause.
After warmly thanking his conssir-
nents for their continued confidence in
him, Judge Adamson discussed ma
tional affairs, and then matters close"
to home. On the question of disfran.
chisement in Georgia, he said in part:
II trust that sudden conversions

NIillet For Si1aGe.

japanese niillet is excellent for sill
age, having nearly solid stem, and
thus being better adapted to keeping
than many other fodder crops. 1t Will
produce twelve tons or more of green
fodder to the ecre. The advantage
over corn is that it stands dry weather
somewhat better and may be sown
later than corn. Soy beans have the
advantage over either of these crops
in containing protein. and when mixed
with corn make balanced ensilaSe,
thus cutting down the grain bills. But
with the amount Of land limited, it
might be better to plant all corn and
buy tie grain, since no crop give:TSo
great a bulk Of cattle food for the
labor and expense required as ccrn.-

SUPPORT STOCK COLLAR.

Women naturally object to stiff
starched collars because they are un'
comfortable. Unless they are starched
they will not stand up. and must be
supported in some manner. A device
designed especially to support stock
collars is shown here, and can be used
in lieu Of whalebones, wires and the
like. A distinct advantage is the fact
that the distenders can be quickly re-
moved and the stock washed or other
wise cleaned. The body portion OF this
supporter is made Of two small tubes
Joined in the centre by cross piece.

Kandy Feed Lots.

Every stockman should have at least
three feed lots, handy to the barns.
They will be found very convenient
for use, time about, in feeding so that
they can dry out in bad weather or to
feed in, one day for the next. In good
weather it is often desirable to spread
the feed on Saturday for Sunday. For
convenience in separating or sorting
stock these lots can be especially
handy.
In dairy farming, says E. ". Jones.
in The Epltomist, the COWS have to be
lotted to be MIXED, and in many cases
they are left in the inclosure over
night, in which case very rich lots are
soon the result. If several such inclos-
u.es are available one or more may be
cultivated the following year and fine
crops will be grown year after year
without the labor and expense OF
handling it. A combination Of this
sort, it seems to me, would solve the
problem of keeping up the fertility in
tobacco growing and trucking. A herd
Of thirty COWS here last year produced
enough manure for three or four acres
during the grazing season. The urine
is a very valuable element that is 9th
erwise lost, but is in this way saved.
In hog feeding, this arrangement Is
Of espec:. alue, for they more than
any other {. ;mal, need change of
feeding places. Where the feeder is
pressing them they can be fed in an
other lot so that the stock hogs may
clean up the remnants Of the corn feed,
which often is not palatable to a full
fed hog. Then, too, several feeds
ahead may be put out in the different
lots and the hogs turned to them as
needed.
Feed lots should be on we'll drained
land with shade and running water, If
possible. The fencing should be the
best, suited for either cattle or, hogs.
They should be connected by easy
working gates. For cattle some ar
rangement for feeding in the way OF
troughs OF racks must be provided II
we are to feed them out Of doors IL
the winter.

The Farm Horse.

The noon meal of horses should be
the most concentrated feed. Feed most
Of the grain then, and but little Lay.
At night give the most hay. 1t Is not
easy for the horse to work hard with
his stomach stuffed with hay.
An Illinois farmer gives his horses
a Dry bed by mailing two by fours on
the stall floor an inch apart. This
gives the liquid manure an opportunity
to drain back. The grooves are kept
clean by the use Of strap iron hoe
made for the purpose, which fits into
them.
It is never q safe plan to drive an
animal with so loose rein that you
cannot instantly command the situa-
ton if necessary.
The difficulty of disposing of common
grades of horses is as much in finding
buyers for them as in getting respecta-
bic prices.
A stable blanket is very desirable,
even for farm horse not at work in
winter. 1t conserves heat by prevent
ing a too rapid radiation from the
body. It keeps the hair more glossy,
and, in large measure, prevents soil
ing the hind limbs while lying down.
A wool or part wool blanket is best.
An experiment station says that the
closer a draught horse is to the ground,
the better both for service and en-
durance.
If you expect the best work from the
team, let them keep a steady gait and
Go not urge them into forced or rapid
gait.-Horse Breeder.

Practical Poultry Points.

The critical period is the forming OF
the feathers, which calls for frequent
feeding, and when they have passed
that stage the chicks become hardy.
The houses need not be more than
eight feet square for each family and
can be doubled.
If possible, it is best to have change
able yards, but if used, less number
can be kept to the acre. If the yards
are kept clean by an occasional spad-
ing, however, green stuff may be
grown elsewhere and thrown over to
them. This may consist Of cabbage,
grass, turnip tops, kale, mustard, let
tuce, etc.
Water must not be neglected or the
meals given irregularly. Care must
be observed not to feed too much, as
overfat fowls will lay few eggs, and
such eggs will not hatch.
A good poultry manager Is always
among his fowls and observes every
thing.
The large fowls should be hatched
in March if early pullets are desired
for winter laying. This applies to
Brahmas, Cochins and Plymouth
Rocks. If the manager finds this inc-
possible lie should at cnce substitute
cocks Of the Leghorn breed. which,
crossed with large hens, make good,
marketable chicks and produce pul!ets
that mature early. :;
Crossing pure-bred cocks with COM
non hens is excellent, but "fancy poul-
try" is not profitable to any but those
VINO understand thoroughly the mat
ing and selection of the several breeds.
Unsanitary surroundings cause more
disease, puny and unhealthy birds, and
general loss in the poultry yard, than
all other causes put together.-E. S
Smidt, in The Cultiyator. 80.

AN ENTIRELY NEW MOVE.
President Roosevelt viii Try for Gov
ernment Ownership Of Vast Areas
Of Bituninous Coal Lands.

A washington special says: Govern
ment ownership of a vast body of bi-
luminous coal lands is the next move
on President Roosevelt's program.
In the very near future, President
Roosevelt will issue an order with
drawing from entry under the min
eral land laws something like forty
million acres of coal land now en-
braced In the nations public domains.
This will be done for the purpose Of
preparing the way for legislation at
the next session of congress providing
for system of leasing these lands
for future development, the title to
remain in the government, something
after the manner in which the Ger
man government owns the coal lands
Of that country.
In taking this step President Roose-
velt is looking forward to the time
In the future-the far future, to be
sure-when the bituminous mines of
the east and Of the south are exhaust
ed, or practically so, it being his idea
that the existing supply should be in
the hands of the government.
Attorney General Moody is now
making an investigation into the laws
to see just how far the president is
empowered to go in his withdrawal
program without action by congress.
1t is understood that his investigation
has particularly to do with lands sup
posed to contain ecal, but where the
fact has not yet been determined by
surveys and investigations. There can
be no doubt of the presidents author.

tain mineral and coal deposits, but
there Is scme doubt of his power to
apply the same process to other lands.
Most of the lands to be converted By
this new movement are in Montana,
