jure the sense of feeling in the nose.
besides being cruel. I use a common
trocar and canula for punching the
hole and holding 1t In shape for the
ring. 1t Is difficult to insert the ring
after punching the hole without the
use of the canu!a, as the holes through
the cartilage and skin In the nose are
not In opposition. A copper ring.
hinged in the center, with a screw to
hold it together after insertion, is COM
monty used. Nose ringing bull has
no affect whatever upon his DISPOSE
lion, its sole purpose being to furnish a
means for handling him with ease and
safety.

Oats For Calves.

The great business of the growing
calf Is to make muscle. This muscle is
what gives plumpness to a thrifty
calf.
For this purpose food is needed
which is especially rich in muscle
forming material Grass is not. For
this nothing can be found that is bet
ter than oats. Not only are they rich
In the material desired, but that rich
ness is not so concentrated as to make
them a dangerous food. They are
neither heating nor fattening In their
nature. but tend instead to build up
muscle and give the animal strength
and yigor.
In the spring. before the pastures are
ready to turn on to, Is the time that the
calves will need this addition to their
feed. II at any time they are allowed
to grow thin In flesh 1t will take a long
time of good feeding and careful atten-
ton to bring them again into thrifty
condition.-Gilbert Allen.

CLIPPING A HUaSE'S LEGS.
Lower Part Of Limbs Should Be Left
Untouched, Saws Cilbert.

SHhodSHco, 0dyo Slpofts
The question is very often mooted as
to whether or not it is advisable to
clip horses legs. Speaking in a
general way, 1t may be stated without
any hesitation that 1t Is certainly best
+ not to clip the limbs, or, at any rate,
the lower part of them, when a horse
Is having his coat shortened, for the
very good reason that the long hair
affords a certain amount Of protection
against the effects Of wet and dirt
to the legs. The unclipped hair In mo-
wise interferes with the comfort Of the
animal, nor is 1t In any way an In
cumbrance. On the other hand. the
clipping of the legs Involves the draw
back that they are deprived of, the
protection against wet and dirt, as
stated above. None the less the legs
of horses are very commonly clipped
along with the body for the reason
that 1t adds greatly to the smart ap-
pearance Of the animal.
The fact that 1t improves the ap-
pearance Of a horse and looks smart
is the sole reason that can be advanced
In favor of the practice of clipping a
horses limbs, and unless appearances
are really of great Importance, and this
can only be so In the case of pleasure
horses, 1t Is decidedly advisable to re-
frain from doing so. The legs. along
with the head, are the worst and most
difficult parts to clip In a horse, and
1t takes long time to do them, and
great many horses which are other
wise quiet and docile enough object to
their legs being clipped and give lot
'of trouble when this Is being done.
For this reason alone, II for no other,
1t is best to leave the legs untouched.
When horse is specially predisposed
to suffer from cracked heels or from
mud fever, the animal ought not to
have its legs clipped on any considera-
ton whatsoever, as to do so will great
ly Increase the risk of its contracting
these complaints. In all cases where
q horses legs are clipped the hair in
the hollow of the heel should not be
cut with the clippers, but 1t should
merely be trimmed slightly with pair
OF stable scissors, only sufficient being
cut away to make the heels look smart
so as to be in keeping with the rest
of the leg.-W. II. Gilbert.

INJURE THE MILK.
Use of Rusty or Poorly Timed Cans
Produce OFF Flavors.

rTOOuCc vi TldNOTSs
RUSTY Cans and Their Effect Upon
Milk For Cheesemaking" is the title
of a recent bulletin of the Wisconsin
experiment station prepared by George
A. Olson, assistant chemist. Expert
ments made by Mr.. Olson show that
milk hauled in poorly timed or rusty
cans is materially injured for cheese
making 1.-The cheese factory operator
should not hesitate to refuse milk
which is hauled In poorly timed or
rusty cans" writes Mr.. Olson, ''for, in
addition to the retarding influence of
the iron on the rennet action and the
naturalization of the acid by the iron.
there are also produced taints or off
fiavors."
The milk cans used to haul milk to
the cheese factory are often of cheap
grade and are dented the first or Sec
ond time that they are used, with
result that the tin cracks and the iron
is exposed and rusts. At one factory a
can was found that had been used for
thirteen years and had been soldered
forty times, with lead patches two
inches In diameter In some places.
Milk kept in such cans would take for
ty minutes longer to coagulate than
that kept in good cans.
In these experiments milk was placed
in rusty tin cans and allowed to stand
for different periods, while other sam
pies of the same milk were kept in
glass beakers. Every time that this
experiment was repeated the milk kept
In the rusty cans gave evidence of a re-
tarding influence on the rennet action
as compared with the milk kept in the
glass beaker Milk which was allowed
to stand in iron utensils for several
hours had peculiar blush gray color,
indicating the presence of iron in solu-
ton. 1t was evident that the acid in
the milk acted upon the iron and dis
solved some Of 1t. The maximum guam
tity of iron dissolved in the milk
ranged from one to one and half
pounds for every thousand pounds of
milk This iron In solution at least
partly causes the retarding influence of
the rennet action, since it Increases the
solids in the milk.

Experiments With Rye Meal.
The Pennsylvania experiment station
las discovered that rye meal as a part
of a properly balanced ration for milk
cows is as efficient in milk and butter
production as an equal weight of corn
meal. No injurious effect upon the
quality of the butter was noticed.
Treatment For Scours.
Some time ago the South Carolina
experiment station recommended the
use of formaldehyde as "a treatment
for scours in young calves 1t should
be fed as follows: Add one-half ounce
of commercial formalin to 1916 ounces
of distilled or rain water and give one
teaspoonful of this solution with each
pound or pint Of skimmilk fed. Giving
this treatment twice. say once In the
mornings and once In the evenings
milk, will usually cure the scours. The
Virginia experiment station has recent
ly tested this remedy quite thoroughly
and reports most satisfactory results.
Some Good Advice.
w. +. McSparran of Pennsylvania In
an address before the Vermont dairy
men uttered this very sensible advice
on the matter Of improving the dairy
qualities Of farm cows: A cow may be
better than she looks or worse than
she looks The only way to tell one is
to live with her. Get rid of the poor
ones. They take the bread out of our
mouths, but the more promising ones
may surprise you with Judicious feed
Ing. Put them to the test; shelter them
from storms: be kind to them: don't
try to half starve them on a half dry
pasture. but give them the full round
year ration. Send your scrub bull to
the butcher and set the best bun q
your breed that you can buy.

SUMMER FEED FOR HOGS.
Rapid Gains at Low Cost From Both
Forage and Grain.


When hogs are kept 1t Is good plan
to produce as much of the feed for
them right there on the farm as possi-
BILE. All want to make pork as cheap
ly as they can, and the feed raised on
the farm Is, as a rule, cheaper than
commercial feeds. But there are ex-
ceptions to the rule, and the man who
holds himself to a rule regardless of
conditions should change his methods.
Experiments have proved, what we
have found by experience to be true,
that the table waste and skimmilk and
cornmeal constitute feed for hogs
running to pasture that make the most
rapid gains for the cost Of feed of any
thing yet found, writes N. A. Clapp in
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t is not neces-
sary to stop to theorize In regard to
the matter. 1t is sufficient to know
that such things are fact.
But the question comes up as to the
kind of pasture that furnishes the best
feed. 1t has been proved again and
again that alfalfa makes the best feed,
with June clover a close second. In
the absence Of clover, blue grass is
the next best pasture. When none Of
the clovers or grasses are available 1t
is far better to sow rape than to COM
pei pigs to go without any green for
age
The man who gets lopsided and keeps
his hogs either ON green forage alone
or on grain alone makes a mistake.
Experience has shown US that hogs
can live on forage and make some gain,
but do not make the gains rapid enough
to show the venture satisfactory one.
Hogs may make rapid gains on grain
diet alone, but it is too expensive. The
man who uses both forage and grain
makes a rapid gain at low cost, pro-
vided the feeds are well balanced.
Hogs fed on both forage and grain
show better quality Of meat than If
either is fed alone. The forage helps
to make bone and muscle, and the grain
helps to add the fat. The skimmilk,
buttermilk, dishwater and whey pro-
mote growth, and all help to produce
cheap pork If fed in connection with
the other feeds. They also help to inn
prove the quality of meat.

SELLING LIVE STOCK.
Some Points For Farmers on Adver-
Using Products of the Farm.

j. SO"S TOiHkS Tor dTmerS on AdNer-
tising Products of the Farm.
B On the point of advertising the prod
ucts of the farm Professor Humphrey
of the Wisconsin Agricultural college
advised farmers In a recent institute
as follows
Advertising combined with intelli-
gence and enterprise will do more to
elevate the farmer and give deserved
prominence to his occupation than any
other factor. In fact, many advan-
tages are enjoyed at the present time
by our most progressive farmers, who
may be recognized by the advertising
which they do in one way or another.
THE great majority of farmers have
not awakened to the necessity Of ap-
plying anything more to their occupa-
ton than hard manual labor, which, to
be sure, Is necessary and indispensa-
BILE, but which alone classes the farm
er with the man who works ten hours
daily with shovel and pick and earns
81 or So day. Successful agricultural
advertising practiced by intelligent and
enterprising farmers VIII overcome
prejudice and elevate the occupation
OF farming to a plane where men can
enjoy their labor and the same lux
uries enjoyed by business men of other
occupations and professions
"The first step In agricultural adver-
Using is to make the farm a respecta-
BILE place of business and one which
will incite patronage. The farm should
be christened with a suitable name
and its stock and produce marketed
under the name of the farm as we'll
as the name Of the proprietor. The
stock and produce should have spe-
cifc trademark to distinguish 1t In
name as well as In quality and to in
.duce buyers to become permanent GUS
'tomers."
