The Combination Cow.
There is incessant warfare between
the specialists in COW breeding and the
man who wants COW that Is both
beef-maker and a milk maker First
the combination cow was called gen.
eral purpose COW, then dual purpose
COW, and now some one mas hit upon
the name given above. While the spe-
clalist is right in some things, ne is
wrong in others Certainly the man
that is producing milk with the idea of
selling it must produce that milk from
the COW that will make it as cheaply
as possible, and this he will find among
the distinctly dairy cows. But there Is
place for the combination COW. On
the high-priced land In Illinois and I'D
Joining States the man who is produc-
ing beef cattle is learning that 1t is Inn
possible to make money by producing
beef cattle alone He must utilize the
milk giving power of his cows as much
as possible Therefore, he wants
COW with a beef form and deep powers
of milk-giving. These kinds Of cows
are in existence. They are not suitable
to go into the dairy, but are suitable
as an adjunct to beef making.-Farm-

An Ohio fruit grower says:
Balanced Food for swine,

While our hogs get plenty of corn
we go to considerable effort to furnish
them variety in the rations and try
to give it to them In such way that
it forms balanced ration. We are
believers in considerable soft food for
swine and consider ration of wheat
middlings and gluten meal with small
portion of process oil meal feed that
will keep them in good weight and In
the finest condition. These grains are
mixed thoroughly and then skim milk
Is used so that the mass is about like
thin porridge. This our hogs get twice
daily with corn on the cob for the third
meal, and something in the way of root
crops or good kitchen slop in which Is
mixed vegetable and fruit parings for
the in-between meal. This is the food
during the summer Except that the
corn is cut OUT as well as during the
winter. The range takes the place Of
the third meal of slop and vegetables,
but with these exceptions we try to
feed about the same the year round and
find that 1t pays.-EXchange.

An American visiting in Russia tells
us that the peasants thrash grain as
our forefathers did many hundreds of
years ago. The grain is tramped out
by the aid of animals and winnowed
by the wind. He observed that the
workers were lazy, shiftless fellows
who engaged great deal in smoking
and drinking.
One of the leading seed corn growers
rejects all corn from down stalks. Seed
Is only gathered from stalks which
stand up. The percentage of standing
corn Is figured in row and IL 1t Is too
low the whole row is rejected. All
breeding ears must have been produced
On standing stalks. This is good plan,
as 1t has tendency to produce healthy
plants.
For colts oats lead the list of feed
ing stuffs, but shorts and bran and bar
ley, peas and some corn may be profit
ably used where economy is import
ant. Steamed crushed oats or barley,
thickened with bran, will prove very
nourishing and appetizing where colts
are suffering from teethlng. A lin
tied quantity of cooked roots, mixed
with ground grain and bran, given at
night In winter time, daily, or two or
three times week, will show in n
more thrifty general appearance.

cultivate Permanent Pasture.


There is q very considerable amount
of land in Iowa and adjoining States
that should be kept In permanent pas
ture and never, except under very es-
peciul circumstances, be put under TO-
tatlon. The lands to which we refer
are the lands varying from rolling to
rough in the Kansas glaciation In
Southern Iowa and In MissOuri; lands
that are too rolling or too much cut
up with sloughs for easy cultivation,
| and especially lands that have a large
percentage of clay, which wash read
| lily even with very moderate rainfall.
| In all the glaciation, MS well as in the
unglaciateG districts of Southern Mis-
souri, and extreme southern portion of
| Illinois, there Is good deal of land
be laid down in permanent pasture
composed largely of blue grass, and
fortunate is the man who has lands Of
this kind that have never been broken
up at all. In fact. the best way to Sc
cure stand of blue grass on lands Of
this character is to seed prairie sod,
then pasture it closely, too closely, In
fact for the benefit Of the live stock

OIL Meal UndervaIued.
Oil meal is undervalued by the ordi.
nary farmer as stock feed. Foreign
farmers have higher appreciation CT
its value and are not only willing to
buy it, but to pay the transportation
from here to Europe. Oil meal has a
higher feeding value than simply what
is shown by the chemical test. First
it is palatable. which means much, an,
1t has the added ability of putting the
animals stomach in the best possible
condition to digest other foods.

pected to risk his fortune He would give away money
before he would give life because If he were dead
ne would have no money anyway. But he would, and
he does seriously, risk life for the sake of money

centrate this taxing power in the

4 Bill Worth Passing q.

The measure introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. MCCARREN Of Brooklyn, which
would authorize police officials to release
from custody on their own recogni-
zance prisoners accused Of minor Of
fences for which the penalty might be
thirty days Imprisonment or less, is n
that deserves serious consideration in
the Legislature. The bail required Of
such alleged offenders in police prisons
now is 5000, an amount that practically
all Of them are unable to deposit. The
result Of this has been great prosperity
to professional b%ondsmen, who for q
liberal fee furnish the necessary security.
The bondsmen's plumber is frequently
shared with dishonest policemen, and
these make arrests merely for the sake
of compelling their victims to pay for
bonds that they may line their own
pockets.
In the illicit profits thus made by
unfaithful policemen is found the reason
for many unjust and unnecessary arrests.
Much hardship is inflicted On innocent
or ignorant persons, who are treated like
dangerous criminals when at their worst
they are merely misdemeanants, guilt
less Of any except minor and trivial
infractions Of the law. In a great ma
jority of the cases brought before the
City Magistrates a summon would be
as effective as a warrant or an arrest, and
would be resorted to il there were 40
profit in the arrest.
Mr.. McCARREN's bill is designed to
make arrests for certain kinds of offences
improbable for the bondsmen and the
corrupt policemen. 1t appears to be a
sensible reform measure, although its
author will probably shrink from the
linking Of his name with the much abused
word reform

Police and Magistrates.

Commissioner BINGHAM's opinion that
the City Magistrates do not stand by"
the police in their efforts to repress crime
will be received with caution by all who
are familiar with the manner in which
policemen prepare complaints in the
Magistrates courts. Often an accused
person must be dismissed when there is
no moral doubt as to his guilt because
of the ignorance, inattention or worse,
of the patrolman or detective appearing
against him. The Magistrate is a judicial
officer, with duties defined and regulated
by law. He Ia not a creature OF the
police, nor is his function to obey their
wishes. He must have legal evidence
to support the charge brought against
each prisoner arraigned before him to
warrant him in holding for trial. OF
this many policemen appear to be
radiantly ignorant.
Recently the prosecuting officers Of
New York county complained that the
Magistrates, instead of holding too few
prisoners for trial, held too many on
fimsy evidence, necessitating hopeless
prosecutions in the higher courts, vast
ing the time of Judges and the District
Attorney and putting the taxpayers to
needless expense. Recently, too. a po-
liceman of several years service con-
fessed that he did not eve know the
limitations imposed by statute on his
power TO arrest. These facts are not with
out significance when the Commissioners
statement is under consideration.
That the Judges in the inferior crimi-
nal courts err seriously in their disposal
of cases at times will not be denied,
They are not responsible, however, for
the lawless and oppressive acts of ig-
norant or corrupt policemen, which
render the laws ineffective, create
opportunities for blackmail and rouse
the Indignation Of the public against
them.
