BREEDING UP is CHEAPEST.
No Money in Raising Scrub Stock
Get Pure.Bred Bull.

The farmer who intends to secure
herd of pure-bred cattle will find it
cheaper to breed up than to buy pure
bred stock. This is especially true if
he is preparing to raise cattle for the
purpose of making beef. If he buys
all pure-bred stock, the investment
will be so heavy that he cannot afford
to sell the progeny for the block, but
will feel constrained to go into the
business of raising breeding cattle, for
which he may not have taste and
adaptability.
Good females of pure-bred beef stock
bring high prices and he would need a
considerable number of pure-bred cows
to make good start. But with a
pure-bred bull he can in a few years
have a herd of COWS that will make it
possible to market beeves Of high
grade-market toppers. For the beef
maker, then, this is about the only
course possible.
In selecting a herd of COWS for
breeding up, the Indiana Farmer sug-
gests that man should try to get ami.

Be Your Own Tree Doctor.

Every man should be his own tree
doctor. If properly trained he has
been busy all summer removing suck
ers from the trees, fighting fungus and
discouraging insects. When the leaves
are off he goes all over his plantation,
diagnosing each tree, shrub and bush.
He will find some borers not yet
killed, and these should be thoroughly
eradicated from his ounces and apples
before winter sets in. Use flexible
wire and sharp knife, and when the
larvae are killed pile coal ashes freely
around the tree. He will probably find
in his currant and berry fields more
or less bushes that cultivation has
loosened in the soil. These are liable
to heave out during the winter. He
should slip narrow shovel under the
plant, draw out the dirt, and let the
bush settle until it is we'll planted.
Tread heartily, and then, If you have
them to spare, place scuttle of coal
ashes about each one.-Outing Maya

The Best Time to Water Them Is 30.
fore Feeding.

A horse should be watered before
feeding, and never given a large guam
tity of water after meal, for the sim
pie reason that the water will wash
the food out of tie stomach before
stomach digestion has taken place and
the food will not be well prepared for
absorption; and besides it is some
times the cause of collie.
There is peculiar idea that warm
horse shovld not be allowed to drink
and, unlike great many other popular
ideas, there is a little truth in it. If
you water a warm horse in the or
binary way, letting him drink all that
he will, you are likely to have q
foundered horse on your hands. This
is especially so if, at the time, the
horse is fatigued Nevertheless, it is
always safe to allow him from six to
ten swallows, no matter how warm he
is. If this be given on going into the
stable and he be allowed to stand and
eat hay for an hour and is then offered
water, he will not drink nearly so
much as he would had none been
given before.
The danger is not in the first swal-
low, as we often hear it asserted, but
in the excessive quantities he will
drink if not restrained. The most
dangerous time to give horse full
draft is when he has cooled down
from fatiguing work and has partaken
of a meal

writes LAS to water, l think that
horse should have all that he wants
| at all times. A man says: Why; will
you give your horse water before a
race? Yes; before the race, in the
race and after the race, and any
other time that he wants to drink
| When I say give your horse all the
water he wants before the race, |
do not mean that you shall tie him
in warm stall where he cannot get
drink for five or six hours on hot
day, and then take him to the pump
| and give him all that he wants. What
l mean is to give him water often
and, in that way, he will take only a
small quantity at time.
| After long, continuous exertion the
system is greatly depleted OF fluid.
Nature calls for it's replenishment.
and this is the cause of a thirst which
is so intense that, if the animal is not
restrained at this time, he may drink
much more than he needs.
The general custom, almost univer-
sally followed, of giving the morning
meal before water, is not very OBJ
jectionable, either theoretically or
practically. At this time there is no
depletion of fluid, consequently the
horse is not very thirsty and, does
not drink rapidly or excessively, and
apparently very little evil results from
this method. However, the writer
much prefers that the horse should
have an opportunity to drink before
the morning meal.
Personally, l much prefer keeping
horses, both summer and winter, in an
open shed, with large water tank in
the yard, to tying them by the head
in barn. This brings us to the ar
rangement of farm buildings which
hope to discuss in some subsequent
paper.

THE LIVE STOCK.

Hogs should be kept away from
filthy water holes.
Wheat and barley mixed is good

Soaked grain gives better results
than soaked meal
Corn costs just about half what
oats do as a fattening feed for hogs.
Rice meal and other by-products OF

Twice in the month of September
Howard Thornton was approached to
betray the interests of the Golden
Gulch Mining Company.
First, one Solomon Peters ap-
preached the young superintendent
with an offer of certain valuable COL
laterals if the latter would misrepre-
sent to his employers the value of the
Golden Gulch holdings. Later, one
Dick Cummings had doubled the col
laterals.
ThOrntOn's answer was as clean cut
and polished as a dynamite cap, and
the two scoundrels hastily withdrew.
Then one night fourth party was
added to the dramatis personae. This
fourth party was Chinaman. He bore
the name of Chew Lung, and stood
nearly seven feet in his huge mining
boots.
No man knew from where Chew
Lung had come, but there were sew
eral who believed they knew precise
ly where he was going. Only Thornton
had dared openly to express this be-
lief. He had caught the giant heath
en- one night on forbidden ground, and
showing a revolver in his face had
commanded: Right about to h"
Chew Lung remembered the Incl
dent very we'll, and patiently yet not
less bloodily he had bided his time for
revenge That time had now come on
golden wings.
Concealing in his ample blouse the
heavy sack of yellow dust that Peters
and Cummings had handed over to
him, he returned to his quarters.

over the imperial palace in the land
of his ancestors, he would kill How
