Instructions for dehorning calves
seem to be perennially in demand.
Here is the process in brief as given
by Iowa Homestead:
The most satisfactory method of de-
-tfor,ffrf-, e--i i44Aa olives the-tase-ef
caustic potash. When the calf is few
days old the hair should be clipped
closely over the part where the horn
comes through. Then take stick of
caustic potash and rub it over the bare
place until the skin is reddened 1t is
sometimes u good plan to put little
grease around the horn SO as to not al
low tie pot ii to spread. The stick Of
caustic should be wetted, but care
should be taken not to let any run
down on the sides of the face, as 1t
will unnecessarily irritate the skin.
Some care on the part of the operator
must be used in handling caustic pot
ash, and the ordinary plan is to wrap
the stick of caustic in some material
so that the fingers will not come in di-
rect contact with it.

In Florida the Everglades alone-al-
most solid muck beds-would afford an
empire of some 100000 acres. In
New Jersey and Virginia are vast
swamps, among them the famous Dis
NAL swamp In Illinois, which is gen
orally regarded as a well settled agri-
cultural state, there are 100000 acres
of swamp land; in Michigan there are
nearly 100000 acres. Fertile Iowa
has about 100000 acres of swamp
land. In Minnesota there are almost
100000 acres of rich surveyed swamp
lands and huge swamp areas not yet
surveyed. Arkansas has tremendous
swamp areas which could be drained
and made habitable, and in all there
is swamp area in the eastern half Of
the United States which is equal in ex-
tent to the great agricultural states of
Indiana, Illinois and Iowa, with three
or four smaller eastern states thrown

The Rhode Island experiment station

satisfactory method Of combating blight
is discovered it viii probably not pay
to crow late varieties of potatoes In
Rhode Island.
Professor Sanderson of the better
farming special train through New
England advised New Hampshire audi
ences that apple culture is their strong
hold. He is sure there is more money
In it $50 an acre at Lease for New
Hampshire farmers than in anything
else, provided they fertilize, spray and

The present year is likely to be a
record breaker in tobacco planting in
the Connecticut valley. Almost all
growers talk favorably Of the crop, and
the majority are planning to increase
their area, remarks American Guilt
vator.
From experience at the Massachu-
setts experiment station it appears
that the late southern dent corn, such
as the Eureka, which has been much
used in southern New England for
sllage purposes, is not as well suited
to the latitude as the northern varieties
that mature not later than the middle
of September.

The Experiment of Firing n Cannon
Euried under Wmter.

The most curious experiment ever
made with piece Of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark. On this an Armstrong gun Of
the 40 pound pattern was mounted.
The gun was then loaded and carefully
aimed at target-all this, Of course.
during the time Of low tide 4 few
hours later, when the gun and the tar
get were both covered with water to
depth of six feet, the gun was fired by
means of electricity. We said "aimed
at Il target but the facts are that
there were two targets, but only one
was erected for this special experiment.
the other being the hull of an old yes

hind the target and in range of the ball
The target itself was placed only TWEEN
ty-fiye feet from the muzZle of the gun.
1t was composed of oak beams and
planlls and was twenty-one inches
thick.
In order to make the old Griper in
vulnerable a sheet of boiler plate three
inches thick was riveted to the water
logged hull In direct range with the
course the ball was expected to take if
not detected by the water. On all Of
these-the oaken target, the boiler
plates and the old vessel hull-the eff

Alfalfa For Poultry.

Alfalfa in It's green state or when
used as hay or ensilage is a first class
poultry food. Poultry will pasture on
it during the summer and thrive. 1t is
best for poultry to use the last cutting
of alfalfa, as it is softer in texture, has
larger proportion of leaves, less
woody matter and is more succulent
than any other cutting While poultry
of all classes viii eat alfalfa hay, or
at least the leaves from it. and thrive,
it is undoubtedly a better practice to
chop it or grind it and mix it with a
grain ration. \ good practice is to
steep the alfalfa hay in hot water and
let it stand for several hours before
feeding

Slow Fertilizer Not Suitable.

Fertilizers containing nitrogen in Il
slowly available form, such as cotton
seed meal or coarse, undecomposed sta
bic manure which do not stimulate an
active growth until late in the season,
are not desirable for this crop. Such
fertilizers are too slow for a short sea
son crop like the tomato, which needs
something to stimulate it at the very
time it is transplanted to the field.
Such fertilizers also tend to stimulate
late growth of vine at the expense of
the maturity of the fruit. Potash and
phosphoric acid are more conducive to
the development of fruits than is nitro
gen except in the form of nitrate of
soda
Heavy dressings of stable manure
tend to produce too much vine and are
seldom or never employed. If stable
manure is used it is at moderate rate,
usually not more than one or two shov-

 GOSSIP OF STATE CAPITOL
BY HERvEY w. LAIRD.

Montgomery, October 13.-(Special.) )-In spite of the fact that the republican party in Alabama does not cut much of a figure in the returns the factional fights now going on the organization possess some interesting features that will be worth while to study out It looks very much like the old lily white following Is going to make a desperate fight for a showing and to come in for some sort of consid- eration at the hands of the powers that be at national headquarters. The men in line with that sentiment have made g. good showing and have the only republi- can ticket in the field. They have beeen endorsed by the Alabama Outlook of Montgomery, the largest republican paper jn the state
 The casual observer may get an idea in the situation if he Is interested. The same reason to discourage the lily white movement does not exist now that did when 1t was stamped out by MT. Roose- velt, when he ran for President the last time. On the other hand there are far more reasons for something of the kind than at that time existed The feeling that the negro must be kept out of party politics in the south has gotten firm hold on the leaders of even the republicans and tney knOW ludt they dIe uOl SOlIs lo Dt able to carry him much longer without incurring to much greater extent the con tempt of the men who have real convic- tions along political lines. There are. also. more republicans than ever in the south who are republicans from principle and mot for the offices, and these are making it uncomfortable for the patronage ven- dors.
 ! It is a fact that there are thousands of men in the state who are not averse to doctrines of the republican party and would not hesitate to vote for them if they had opportunity to do so without the stigma of supporting a negro loving or ganization. If the party were purged of the negro members, or they were made to understand that they are to take back seats and keep them, there would be a
