Vicious Bulls.

1t is no uncommon thing to read of a
stockman being injured or killed by a
vicious bull. Within a few years we
have known five such cases besides
what we have read about In two of
these the bulls were known to be
vicious, and the trouble came in spite
of the ordinary precautions; in others
1t was the result of carelessness. The
only thing to do with a bull that is
known to be vicious is not to handle
him at all. If he is of such great value
that it is desirable to keep him he can
be provided for and used without ham
ding, though this is troublesome and
expensive. If he is not exceptionally
valuable let the bologna maker handle
him. 1t is almost a proverb that the
gentle bull Is the dangerous bull This
simply means that any bull, no mat
ter how gentle he may seem to be, is
liable to go bad without warning and
uaim or kill the man who Is handling
him. Handle all bulls with this idea
in mind, never getting in such corner
that an attack comes when there is no
avenue of escape or means of protec-
tton. Some people have the idea that
beef bred bulls are not dangerous; that
the dairy bred bulls do all the damage.
1t is true that the latter are most ia-
BILE to become vicious, but the others
sometimes develop an evil temper too.
The only safe rule, says the National
Stockman and Farmer, is never to
trust any mature bull too far.

TEE VETERINARY

A slight cut on a horses tongue will
usually heal and make no trouble. A
bad cut may need few stitches taken
in it by surgeon.
Short Teeth In Horses.
If your horse begins to hang his
tongue out of his mouth when driving
have the teeth examined. The trouble
is usually caused by short teeth. At
tend to it or it may become habit and
is most Objectionable. Harsh bits will
also cause this habit, says the Farm
Journal.
Treatment of stomach Worms.
Turpentine is largely used in the
treatment of stomach worms in sheep.
It is administered as an emulsion with
milk Zone part turpentine to sixteen
parts of milk. The emulsion should
be well shaken before drenching the
animal The dose is two ounces for
lamb and four ounces for an adult, and
to be effective it should be repeated
daily for two Or three days.
Choking Cattle.
A breeder who has had quite little
experience with the different ways Of
removing obStructOnS from the thrOatS
of choking cattle finds that a short
piece Of rubber hose is the best thing
to use. The hose admits air and is not
SO apt to slide by the obstruction.
Therefore it is better than a whip
stock or any solid instrument
Sore Mouth In Young Pigs.
Sore mouth in little pigs is a very
troublesome thing. The only way to
prevent this is to take out their little
tusks when they are about one day old.
It is fighting for the teat that causes
this and Is very much worse in wet
weather than in dry on account Of the
mud that forms sore, followed by in
dammation and swelling. A very good
remedy is to wash off with carbolic
acid and warm water. Use only a
very little carbolic acid.

CHILDREN'S CRIMES.

Arson, Theft and Train Wrecl<ing
Common, Forgery Rare.
Children's crimes are recognized by
criminologists as a large and impor-
tant branch Of criminology. The COM
monest of children's crimes are arson,
stealing and train wrecking, and the
rarest is forgery.
Arson, in the country especially, Is
frequently a crime of childhood. Coun-
try children set fire to haystacks. barns
and sheds in order to see the great
bright flames leap skyward. Children
commit arson, in a word, out of love
Of fireworks.
Children often wreck trains. Some
times they do this from reading about
romantic train wreckers. More often
they do it out of curiosity. They pile
Instructions on the track to see what
will happen. They have no idea that
anything very serious will happen.
Children of course steal a good deal
The best of men and women, looking
back on their childhood, can recall
many theft. Stealing is natural.
Children now and then murder. Their
motive is always Jealousy. Thus in
Vienna boy Of ten, jealous of his
brother and sister, who seemed to be
more petted than himself, killed both

FEEDING SWINE.
Clean Food Required to Produce
Good Meat.

Clean Food Required to Produce
Good Meat.
The main expense in raising swine is
their feed. and it is the duty of the
feeder to get the most out of it that he
possibly can. Some farmers make
mistake in throwing feed to their hogs
and letting them take care of it. When
hogs are fed in this way they do not
receive the full benefit Of the feed, for
a portion Of it is wasted. We must re-
member that one days poor feeding
will more than counterbalance two
days of good feeding.
Regularity in feeding swine is of very
great Importance, though some are
slow in realizing this fact. The diges-
tive systems of animals adapt them
selves to receive food at certain times,
and if the food is not given at the eX-
pected time the animal is worried
thereby. This results in loss of one
kind or another. Frequently the food,
being late, is taken in too large quanti-
ties Or too hurriedly for the best good
of the animal. For this reason it is to
our advantage, as well as the hogs, to
make it rule to feed him at exactly
the same time each day.
We must be careful what we feed.
Any old thing that no other animal will
look at is not good enough for hog
feed. We cannot expect good meat un-
less clean food is used. Some farmers,
no doubt, congratulate themselves that
they have all the corn their hogs will
consume and that there is no better
feed. They will start the hogs exclu-
sively on corn at the commencement of
the fattening period, using no care not
to give them too much of it, and finally
the result is that the appetite and di-
gestion of the hogs are injured, and
they are given backset that they will
not readily overcome. Corn should be
fed in small quantities at first, gradu-
ally increasing the amount as the hogs
stomachs become stronger until they
are on full feed, says writer in Farm
Press. Better results are produced by
feeding corn in relatively small quanti-
ties in conjunction with mill foods,
alfalfa and clover hay and such foods
as turnips, artichokes, etc.

MUTTON FINISHING.
A New Sheep Feeding Era In the
Corn Belt.

A New Sheep Feeding Era In the
Corn Belt.
Mutton finishing operations in the
corn belt have been hampered this year
by scarcity and high prices of thin
range sheep and lambs, according to
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, which fur
ther says:
These a few years ago went beg
ging at Chicago and Omaha. Now val
ues are decidedly out of line with fin
ished stock, practically eliminating the
finisher's margin and forcing him to
feed largely for the gain.
In other words, the man out west
proposes to go out of the business Of
selling feeders and finish everything at
home
'"The fact must be apparent to any
close student that the west will not
long continue to furnish the east with
material to fill it's feed lots,'' said Mr..
Knolling, an Idaho breeder. ''With the
rapid settlement of the west and ex-
tension of the irrigated area devoted
to small grains and alfalfa, feed will
become abundant, and it must be con-
sumed on the ground, owing to long
hauls and expensive freights. The
grain and hay grower in the west will
need every sheep and lamb available
as a medium for converting his crops
into an easily transported marketable
commodity. This is why Michigan,
Ohio and othert eastern states cannot
depend on the west for supply of
feeders in the future. If they intend to
continue in the business of making fat
mutton it is up to them to resume
breeding"

RIFLE SHOOTING.
Develops the Arms. Lungs and Chest
and Trains the Eye.

and Trains the Eye.
1t is NOT only the muscles of the arm
which are tested by properly organ
ized rifle shooting. 1t supplies an ex-
cellent exercise for the chest and
lungs. One of the first things the young
rifle shot has to learn is how to take
deep breath, to fill the lungs with air,
and then to hold the breath while the
rifle is kept absolutely steady and the
finger is gradually tightening on the
trigger. A glance at any successful
rifle shot will show you man with a
deep chest and full powers of breath
ing.
Any form of recreation which trains
the muscles of the arm and exercises
the chest and lungs would seem likely
to be beneficial to health, but if that
is not enough there is the uneQualed
training which rifle shooting gives to
the eye and to the hand working with
the eye. The writer remembers hear
ing a musketry instructor boast that
he had heightened not only his own
sight, but the sight of scores Of boys
whom he had taught how to use their
eyes in aiming at target, by two or
three hundred yards. simply by con-
tinued practice at long distance shoot
ing. 1t is astonishing what results can
be obtained in this way by placing a
rifle on a sand bag raised on tripod
and making the pupil aim as accurate
ly as he can at any distant object. The
eye can be trained. of course, equally
well. though the sight will not neces-
sarily be heightened, by aiming at OBJ
jects close at hand.-London Spectator.

years ago arrested a lord was forced
by the court to kneel down and ask

CUT GREEN BONE.

4 Great Egg Maker Which Should
Be Fed Regularly to the Fowls.
One of the best and in fact, one Of
the most necessary poultry foods is
green bone, says r. H. Jones in Amer
lean Poultry Advocate. No other food
can entirely take its place. There are
different food elements required for
fowls, and one of the most essential is
protein. The other elements are also
necessary, but this is the one which
is given the most attention by poultry
men. In green cut bone we find large
percentage of this most essential ele-
ment; hence it's value as a food. There
may be some objections to feeding
green bone for several reasons, but it
is certain that the advantages fully
compensate for them.
Green cut bone can be fed advan-
tageousiy to fowls intended for many
different purposes and under different
conditions. 1t is a great help in has,
tening the growth of young birds. AL
so when fed to laying hens the egg
yield will be increased wonderfully
and ths poultry raiser well paid for
the labor expended. 1t is food which
all fowls readily eat, and it must be
fed judiciously-that is to say, not too
much must be given at time. 1t is
a recognized fact that animal food
must be given in some form, and,
while it may be supplied in other
ways, this is undoubtedly the most
economical and satisfactory.
1t should recommend itself to poul-
trymen, as it is of very reasonable
cost. The bones can be obtained in
abundance from any butcher, by whom
they are generally regarded as waste.
Often they can be had gratis, but even
if it is necessary to pay a cent
pound for them the investment will be
a good one.
The poultryman should by all means
have a good green bone cutter. The
cost price is very reasonable and they
will more than pay for themselves.
The bones are put in the machine as
they are received from the butcher.
There are usually small pieces Of meat
adhering to them, and these the ma
chine will also reduce to whatever
fineness may be desired.
Gluten Products For Horses.
Gluten products for horses may be
fed with good results in connection
with oats, corn or other grain. Begin
by giving to each horse each day
about half a pint or half a pound Of
gluten feed or gluten meal. After a
few days increase slightly, but at no
time should these concentrated feeds
constitute more than from one-fourth
to one-half the horses grain ration.
Feed For Young Lambs.
A writer in Breeders Gazette, Chi
cago, gives the following treatment for
a motherless lamb, the mother dying
at its birth: Take four teaspoonfuls Of
fresh milk, one Of cream, two of wa
ter and add a little sugar. That Is
feed for quite young lamb, and it is
fed every ninety minutes and three or
four times during the night at first.
The feed is increased gradually day
by day, but not till after the third
day. hungry lamb is safe. so he is
not too hungry. When a week old the
lamb is fed once in two hours, and
gradually the time of feeding may
lengthen with age and the amount Of
feed increase.
