Horse Breeding in wisconsin.

breeulns
The present condition of the horse
breeding industry in Wisconsin is dis
cussed in a bulletin by the station as
well as the effects and defects of the
Wisconsin stallion law. The State law
is quoted, with recommendations for
new legislation. A directory is includ-
ed of owners of licensed stations, and
a list of American and foreign stud
books, as we'll as samples Of the score
cards used in the department of horse
breeding at the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture.
The State breeding-stock law, in the
authors opinion, should be revised and
should demand, among other things, the
annual or biennial renewal Of license
fee, and the adoption of a list Of dis
eases to be considered hereditary,
transmissible, or communicable" and
which would subject a stallion to re
lection as unsound. Specific authority
should be given for the department of
horse breeding to refuse license to stall
lions known to be unsound and to re
woke licenses granted to stations since
found to be unsound. There should
also be authority to revoke the license
of scrub stations Of unknown breed
ing' and to refuse licenses to such
horses in the future. The law should
provide for State veterinary inspectors
to inspect public-service stations and
require State veterinary inspection of
all stations already granted licenses on
the affidavit Of the owner.

Preparation of Coarse Foods.

One of the implements or machines
which farmers who visit the fairs have
found in operation is the corn shred
der. 1t is revolutionizing the use Of
corn fodder, as it. saves labor and pre-
pares the corn stalks for the use Of
stock. 1t removes the ears from the
husks, and tears the entire stalk into
shreds at one operation, as rapidly as
the stalks can be fed into the machine.
There are several kinds, but every
farmer should have one, as it will en-
able him to use the leaves, huskS and
stalks as so much hay which can be
baled, if necessary. When fodder is
thus prepared the cattle will not reject
so much as usual and the shredded fod-
der uneaten is suitable for bedding, or
as an absorbent in the manure heap
The saving in feed by the shredding
Of the entire stalk will be an addition
to the profit of the farm, and will also
enable the farmer to keep more stock.

Redding for Animals.

Do not utilize straw as bedding by
drying it to be used over again. Pass
all feeding material through the feed
cutter, so as to render it more service
able in the manure heap. The cost of
cutting the material is an item, but abb
sorption Of the liquids in the heap will
be more complete and the gain in the
value of the manure will be larger. As
the manure Will then always be fine

Would Tax Heiresses.

Paul Morton thinks that there should
be a tax on American heiresses who
marry foreign nOblemen, as the money
is taken out of the country, good Amer
lean men having made it as a general
thing, expecting it to remain here. The
income derived from American invest
ments should at least be taxed.

Care of the Frying Pan.

Always wipe your frying pan out
with brown paper directly after using
and before washing if you want to keep
it nice and bright. An omelet pan
should never be washed, but rubbed

The EARLY Garden.

After all danger of frost is over,
which is usually about the time the
apple trees are in blossom, tomato
plants may be put out, as they are ten
der and will not endure the frost if
sooner transplanted. Peas for later
crop, Lima beans, string beans, squash,
eggplants and late cabbage, as well as
sweet corn and melons, may then be
planted. The garden crops that do not
need much room on which to grow may
be planted in rows of sufficient dis
lance apart to permit Of using wheel
hoe or hand hoe (about IS inches), but
corn, tomatoes, eggplanus and Lima
beans require from one yard to four
feet between the rows. To have a
large garden on a farm is to extend
the bill of fare, and it can be arranged
to permit of working with a horse hoe,
but the suburban garden work must be
done with a hand hoe or a wheel hoe.
There is more pleasure in working a
garden than may be supposed, and it
will promote the health of any one
who engages in such occupation. As
there are many details in gardening,
and several varieties of each IF the diff
ferent vegetables, the beginner should
procure books on gardening. which can
be had of any scotsman, and also per-
NIT the seedsmen to select for him the
varieties most suitable for his location,
as an inexperienced person can easily
make mistakes in his selections. The
seed catalogues describe methods of
planting, but some varieties of vegeta-
bles are better for stock feeding than
for the table, while some are early in
maturing and others are late.

stopped opposite the shock, to which
more corn is added, and this is con-
tinued until the shock is Of the desired
size. When the shock row has been
started the shock pole is pushed in so
as to be out of the way (see cut) while
the balance of the corn is being cut.

There is quite a difference between
self-confdence and conceit which soma

Williamson Plan of Corn Culture.

Williamson Plan of Corn Culture.
A bulletin by the South Carolina sta
ton contains a detailed description of
the Williamson msthod Of corn culture
and reports observations made on
number of farms on which the plan
was followed. where the plan was
strictly adhered to the yield was dou-
BILE or more than double that secured
from nearby fields Of equal solid char
acters and where the usual methods of
corn culture were practiced."
Three different varieties of corn were
found to have been used on these fields.
One variety, called Williamson corn,
was grown on all fields except two, one
Of which was planted to Marlboro Pro
life and the other to variety similar
to the Williamson corn. 1t was no
ticed that with the Marlboro Prolific
the size of ears and their number per
stalk were apparently uninfuenced by
the method of culture.
The peculiar or essential features OF
the Williamson plan are summarized
as follows: Deep and thorough prepar-
alton of seed bed, deep planting, in
frequent and partial cultivation in the
early Stages of growth, an increase of
200 per cent or more in the number Of
stalks per acre, postponing application
Of fertilizers until corn is given it's
second cultivation, intentional retarua-
ton of early growth of the stalk until
it's size is reduced one-half or one
quarter it's normal development, and
following this augmented development
of the ear by cultivation and heavy ap-
plication Of fertilizers made at appro-
pirate intervals. The corn is planted
four to six inches below the soil sur
face and laid by four to six Incnes
above the level, leaving the lower eight
to twelve inches of the stalk below
ground. 1t is suggested that the brace
roots under these conditions are prob
ably better able to perform their nu-
tritive functions than when partly ex-
posed

soapsuds Tor PIants.

Soaps are made mostly from soda
Iye, instead Of potash, the soda soaps
being hard and the potash soaps soft.
Soapsuds, therefore, contain but little,
If any, potash, but serve to prevent in
sect attacks to a certain extent Some
plants, like celery and asparagus, seem
to thrive when drenched occasionally
with soapsuds, which is probably due
to the fact that soda is beneficial to
such crops.

and easily handled, it can be forked
over with but little labor, so as to more
thoroughly. decompose all portions.
Coarse litter will absorb liquids, but
there will be a loss until such materi-
ais become fine in the heap. The fine
litter will also make excellent bedding,
and will also readily assist in keeping
the stalls dry.

If a garden is made on sandy soil,
especially in a section where nearly all
the soil is sandy, the use of air-slaked
lime will be found very beneficial, as
such soils are deficient in lime. Gas
lime will not serve as a substitute for
stone lime. but she'll lime is excellent,
however, though the use of stone lime
should be preferred. The cost is small
compared with the benefits derived.
