Dahl. abiding r. the scarcity az them


in an article in a recent number of the
Naturwissenshaftliche Wockenschift, re-
lates some interesting experiments
which he made with monkey. He col
ored some sweets with a certain colored
dye and some bitter substances with
that of another color and declares that
after few attempts the monkey learn
ed to leave without even tasting these
articles of food colored with the dye
which indicated btter-tasting SUB
stances and seized at once upon those
which indicated sweets.
Varying the experiments sufficiently,
he found that the monkey distinguished
all the different colOrs readily save
only dark blue. Dahl calls attention to
the fact that Mayer has stated that
many savage tribes cannot distinguish
dark blue from black and that even
children do not distinguish this color
until later than all others.-Scientific

when Horses Have lndfEestfcn.
Horses are subject to attacks of in
digestion and sometimes the trouble is
almost wholly due to the bad condition
OF the teeth. Every horse on the farm
should have its teeth examined at in
teryals by competent veterinarian,
and pat in proper condition. IL the
stomach trouble is not due to the teeth,
look closely to the diet of the horse.
Change its food entirely, and see that
the bowels are in good condition. Add
frequen. feeds of root crops to the
daily ration. The roughage should be
of the best quality, and if it is hay
it would be well to try moistening ii
with warm water before feeding, divid-
ing it into two parts and feeding one
half of it chopped quite fine.
As tonic and digestive give the fol.
lowing: Take two parts of powdered
wood charcoal, one part each of
powdered hydrastic canadensis and
ground ginger root, and one-half part
of bicarbonate of soda. Mix these in
gradients thoroughly and put a table
spoonful of the mixture in the ground
food twice daily. See that the horse
has proper exercise, and that it is not
worked too long or too steadily. The
stable should be comfortable and well
ventilated and the bedding abundant.

Value of Cowpeas for Hay.
The cowpea is to the farmer south OF
the clover belt what clover is to the
farmer in the clover belt, and south
eastern Kansas is pretty nearly on the
line between the ranges CT these two
iegumes, says Wallace's Farmer. Either
may be grown as a forage crop, or as
a seed crop, or rs a fertilizer, or as all
three combined. The cowpea is an an
nual: clover a biennial, or, If not al
lowed to go to seed, a short perennial.
Clover will stand the winters frost !;
the cowpea is killed by the first severe
frost. Therefore the cowpea belongs
to the South and clover to the North.
There Is not much differe nce In the
value of cowpea and clover hay.

Avoiding Hog Cholera.


An Illinois stockman tells the follow
ing story anent his experience In rails
ing hogs amid menacing conditions: II
believe implicitly in the proposition
that an ounce of prevention Is worth
pound of cure. Our neighoors' hogs
were dying Of cholera and Of course II
was only question of time, we
thought. when the disease would attack
and decimate our herd. But we took
"a stitch In time and it saved the entire
herd. We gave the hogs calomel. II
acts as a physic, thoroughly purging
the bowels, and this is of the most vi
tai Importance Place ten grains of
calomel In a piece of cracking about
the size Of a walnut and see that each
animal gets his dose. One dose is suf
ficient in most cases, but no harm will
be done II another be given few days
later
1t is sele-evident that If proper meas
ures be assorted 10 prior to the intro
duction az the disease into the herd it
may be avoided. When once 1t has at
tackled the hogs there is little or no
hope Of suppressing 1t. Hog cholera
may successfully be combated, how
ever. by buttressing, as it were, the
herd so that the germs may not find
congenial lodging places. = Farmers

The supply of Potash.


Most of the potash used In fertilizers
in all countries has come from the Ger
man mines, which, strange to say, seem
to have a monopoly on this mineral.
Lately. however, the attention OF SCI
entists has been called to this fat and
active search made for deposits else
where, in order to escape the prospect
Of the higher prices which the German
potash mine owners are trying to force
on the fertilizer makers of the world.
1t appears that there are seven locali-
ties in the United States which indl-
cate the presence of potash mines.
Most Of these places are in the far
west. but there is one in New Jersey
and one in Massachusetts. The actual
extent Of potash In these deposits can
be determined only by boring and rath-
er costly Development work. The prob
ability Is that potash salts are fairly
common, but the location is hard to
determine on account of their existence
below the ground with no prominent
signs appearing at the surface.
