FEEDING GRAIN Hay

Many farmers are feeding grain hay
with very satisfactory results. This
hay takes the place of both hay and
grain, and where animals are not put
to very heavy work. it does fairly well.
1t is cut when the grain is in the dough
stage, for at that stage the straw seems
10 be at its best for feeding. In the
western states, where timothy hay is
high, farmers rely pom wheat hay al
most altogether. 1t is rather "washy'
but it is surprising how well stock
keep up on it. This is harvested in the
regular way, Just when h grain is
we'll in the milk. The bundles are put
in shock for a few days, and are then
hauled in and stored away. Timothy
hay has been selling for $22 a ton, but
not a pound is fed on many western
farms. While feeding this kim of
grain hay may not be practicable on
farms in the central west, yet it shows
what may be o n in the saving Of
high priced hay. Grain hay made
from oats, made just as the straw is
turning, is valuable, and it is the
cheapest hay made upon the farm.

STUDY EACH COW.

Not all the good mixers are found
among any one breed of COWS; and the
sooner We make up our minds that
each COW has an individuality the
quicker will we build up a dairy herd.
We must at the start recognize this in
.diyiduality or else best results will not
be had. The proper handling and
feeding of one COW does not always
produce as good results with the one
standing next to her, and for this rea-
son every dairy herd should be handled
as If there We're only n COW in the herd.
Many Will say that this is not practical,
but 1t is the only system that will show
where losses as Well as profits are be-
ing made. The notion that the same
ration may be dealt out daily to each
cow In the herd must be gotten rid of.
That is too much like the feeding Of
fat stock, when grain and forage is
piled before the animals and they help
themselves.
If one man attends to the feeding Of
the cows, If he is Il capable feeder, he
will soon discover the likes and dis
likes of each cow, and will try to keep
every one at her best. 1t is a bad
policy to force cows to eat whatever
you may happen to have to feed them.

THE FoAL,

When one has only a team of mares
and both of them have young colts, 1t
is pretty difficult at times to do just
what is best for both mares and foals.
The brood mare can do her share OF
the farm work, If she must, but when
ever ii is feasible allow the brood
mares freedom from work after foal-
ing, and give them the job OF raising.
lusty big colts. When mares are
worked after foaling, the colt should be
kept at the barn, in a roomy box-stall
or paddock. 1t is a crime and u
real injury, TO both colt n mother, TO
allow the colt to follow along after it's
mother, in the field. With a little
patience the colt may be taught to stay
away from it's mother, without fretting
and after a few days the mother does
not mind the senaration. With the colt
at home there is no danger OF barb
wire, or other accident, which are Ii
able TO occur any time when the colt
is running around. When the mother
is TO be taken away from home for a
whole day, OF course the young colt
must be taken along. If it has been
broke to the halter, it is best to have
it lead alongside of it's mother. 1t will
not do the colt any good 10 take these
long jaunts, and they had best be
avoided whenever possible, until the
colt can stay away from its mother for
twenty-four hours at a stretch. Keep
both mare and colt from fretting. The
mare soon looks TO you as the keeper
Of her colt, and she goes about her
work without any fuss or inconven-
fence,

LOOK AFTER THE YOUNG HElF.

An exchange says: "Heifers poorly
fed n poorly handled will never make
good cows whatever the breeding may
be-
While we might not be quite as posi-
tive about it as the Stockman, still
there is more truth in the statement
than most farmers are willing to admit.
Ia there is any stock on the farm that is
neglected, it is the heifer in her calf
hood n up to the time she becomes a
mother. They don't think she needs
any special care, or feed, or looking af-
ter. She's only "A heifer. They will
rear a colt or IA hog and a plenty of
attention to them When young to keep
them thrifty. The heifer needs such
are more than the colt or pig. Our
own experience has confirmed us in this
belief very strongly.
Bates, the great English Shorrhorn
breeder, said he could find a dozen men
in that country who were fit to be prime
where he could find one that
was fit 70 be a breeder of cattle. 1t
is just as rue today as 1t was then.
1t takes more brains to look into the
mysteries Of life than it does to look
into government. 1t takes more brains
TO be a successful farmer than a sue
Cessful mechanic, merchant or profess
sional man. The great reason why so
many men, young and old, leave the
farm, is because they know they have
not brain power enough to make a
success of ii.

In Praise Of Old Missouri.
the Wellsville. Mo-. Record.

Missouri is the garden spot of the
earth. There is but one thing thai
would excuse a man for leaving the
state, and that is to avoid being
lynched. We would not leave to avoid
that calamity. We have noticed that
a majority of those who leave here in
search Of fame and fortune return
clothed in rags and full OF regret. There
is not a place in ali the wide world
where SO small an amount of energy
will procure so many OF the necessities
and comforts OF life as in Missouri.
Here we nave everything that heart
could wish. There are sunshine and
shade, water and wood, fruit and
flowers, grain and grass, corn and cash.
There are spirited horses, stately mules.
splendid cattle, superb sheep and III
swine as Missouri alone can grow.
Best of all, we AVE the most beautiful
women In the world. In our homes
there is happiness, in u lives there Is
love, in our hearts there Is charity. In
Missouri we reap the richest blessings

S Pc-ru-na Useful
for Catarrh?

Should q list OF the ingredients Of Pc

he would be obliged to admit without

years experience in the treatment Of
such diseases. THERE CAN H N0
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT
EVER. Peruna Is composed ofths most
eflcacious and universally used herbal
remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient
of Peruna has a reputation Of il own

Peruna brings to the homo the con-
BINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL
SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE IN thu treat

the homo the scientific skill and kncwi-

but notleast, brings to the homsthev vast
and varied experience Of Or. Hartman,

treatment Of catarrhal diseases.
The fact Is, chronic catarrh II q dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one Of chronic
catarrh. It nnsy be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or some other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to tho ma
lure Of the disease. Tie only trouble
Is the remedy. This doctor has tried to
cure them. That doctor has tried to
prescribe for them.
BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that a catarrh
remedy can be made on q largo scale,
as he is making it; that it can be made
honestly, of the purest drugs and Of
the strictest uniformity. His idea is
that this remedy can be supplied direct

for it than is necessary for the
handling Of it.
No other household remedy 20 uni

SPREADING MANURE BY MA
CHINE.

In watching farm work and the prac-
tice of different farmers l have been
struck this season with the good re-
suits of spreading manure thinly and
evenly. l had an opportunity recently
of comparing the results of machine
spreading and hand spreading on two
adjacent Illinois farms. The work was
done on meadow lands. The field upon
which the spreader was used showed a
fine, even growth. The bare spots of
last year filled in, and the spread by
hand was very patchy. A very rank
growth was made where ever the
got in its work, but this
growth WAS too rank for first-class
hay, and there were many thin spots
over the field. / believe it is a mistake
10 pile ON too much manure on grass or
meadow lands. Put it on thin, and
put it on frequently. That will surely
give best results

SENSE OF SIGHT IN ANTS.
Experiments indicating That They
Don't Depend on Smell.

The old theory that ants could not see
and were guided entirely by sense of smell
has been demolished by a series of expert
ments reported in the Revue Scientiiique
A little platform OF cardboard was set up
near one Of these nests and inclined plane
leading conveniently down to the entrance.
Then a number OF the insects and a guam
uty of their eggs were placed upon the
platform.
For a few minutes the ants seemed
greatly perturbed, but they very soon
found the incline plane and at once started
carrying the eggs down 1t TO the nest.
A second inclined plane WAS located on
the opposite side Of the platform. but they
took no notice OF 1t. h experimenters
then twisted the platform around 50 that
the second plane pointed TO the nest en-
trance.
Without hesitation the ants ceased using
the old plane and took to the new one.
showing conclusively, Il Is argued. that
they were not following 4 trail by scent
but were getting their bearings by some
other sense.
The next step was TO mark some OF the
ants with a view to seeing whether each
Individual always used the same path and
lie same entrance to his nest. 1t was
found that no such thing was the case.
They all seemed to know all the en-
frances and to have a sense of their d.
~rection. They strudN out new paths for
themselves and always reached their des-
~inaton without fail. This was regarded
as establishing some form Of vision.
Finally, an electric light bulb was set up
near one entrance to the nest 1t seemed
10 nave an immediate attraction for the
ants, as they unanimously used the en-
trance on that side coming to and going
from the nest. Their 1t was changed over
to the other side, causing great excitement
apparently among the insects. which end
ed In their changing over to the newly
illuminated way.
Changes in the b%rilliancy OF the light
seemed TO have no perceptibie effect on
the ants. but they never failed TO detect
the change OF direction. ALI possible pre-
cautions were taken to prevent the heat
from the lamp from reaching them. so
thu it Is regarded as certain that they
perceived the light.
