According to the St. Louis Agricul-
turist the question is: How many
farmers are ixed to bring out their
calves next spring weighing more than
they when they went into winter quar-
tiers? Probably all of the calf fat can
not be retained, but the loss in wean-
ing time should be made as light as
possible and after that a gain should
be registered. Ii is simply throwing
money away TO carry calves through
the winter and to nav them come out
in the spring weighing many pounds
less than they did the fall before, If
indeed they come through at all. 1t
is just a question OF feed and shelter.
Where alfalfa and corn are as plen-
tiful as they are in many parts of the
west, there isn't any reason why calves
should not be brought through the
winter with a good substantial gain in
weight.
Animals should never be allowed to
run down in condition just because
the owner hasn't feed enough to keep
the creatures rightly. All stockmen
know that there is no time in an ami
malls life when it is losing it's owner
money so fast as when Ii is losing flesh.
The reverse is also true that the ami
NAL which is gaining is rarely losing
money for it's owner.
II you are not fixed 10 carry through
the calves so that "A gain in weight will
be made this winter, better sell them
now, before they begin TO fall off, and
buy again when grass comes in the
spring. It will be the cheapest policy
for you and also the most satisfactory
from the standpoint of the calf.

n POOR HORSE.

The horse that is always poOr, re-
CARELESS Of age and treatment usually
has poor digestion, says the Agriculture
list. The animal that cannot digest its
food has not the power to keep up flesh
and lay on fat. If the horse retains
poor when you hin il ought TO be in
good flesh. find out whether or not ii
is digesting its o well. This can
often be told by whole grain or large
particles of feed passing in the drop
pings.
Often the horse. wen among young
ones, has poor teeth. In this condition
often ii is not able TO eat enough and
finds it difficult to eat any of certain
kinds Of feeds. Watch the horse Eat
The one with a good set Of teeth goes
right after the feed when II la hungry.
The one with poor teeth only minces
along and changes from grain to hay
and from hay to grain in an uncertain
way.
If the horse has poor teeth or weak
digestive organs consult a veterinar-
ian and remedy the evil. One bad
tooth may cause all the trouble; or II
may be that all the teeth need smooth
ing or other treatment. All horses do
not have perfect teeth. neither do cows,
sheep n hogs.
Vary the feeds OF a horse that will
not get fat. Give 1t one kind at n
feed and another kin at another time.
Try mixed feeds and soft feeds. Change
to different kinds Of hay. You may
find by observation and experiments
just what ails the animal and what
feeds 1t likes and can digest. A vari-
ETY. and some green feeds will usually
make a horse pick up. A little oil meal
Is good for winter and early spring.

IMPORTANCE OF SEED CORN

by taking or seed corn at this time of
year, many more farmers will appreciate
certain points and profit by them than
later, says the st. Louis AgricuIturist. No
doubt this all important question is we'll
understood among most circles of farmers
but not all of them are aware of what
vast Importance it Is, and how care in
the matter will improve their crops. There
is such a thing as getting 100 per cent
corn; that Is getting corn which will give
a terminating test of 100 per cent. Not
more than one man in 10 perhaps attains
this result. More important than cult
walton, preparation OF the soil and care
afterwards is the practice OF gathering
the seed early and drying it out thorough
ly before freezing weather sets In. The
corn grower should a time to go
through the corn fields just after the corn
gets well denied and only those ears
which meet the approval should be Sc
lected.
Two men can, without difficulty. select
out Is or 70 bushels Of very perfect corn
and hang it up in one day. In some To-
calities this task may be performed about
the first of September, but in the north
ern half of the corn belt II may run up
to October i.
There is a knack in properly hanging
the seed corn TO attain the very best re-
suits. The corn should be hung In such
a manner that one ear does not touch an
other ear, and arrange things so there
will be plenty of ventilation between the
ears. A good method is to stretch a dozen
strands Of wire across the corn crib. some
high and some low, and hang the corn
to these.
To sum the matter up In advance of the
seed making season we will say that one
man in one day will find enough good
corn for the average quarter section to
plant the crop the next year, and If he
will take our advice and select II at the
time we have stated and hang in an airy,
dry place, such as we have described. we
will give him our word that there will be
no need next spring Of going TO the
trouble to test even a single ear Of that
corn. 1t will row not so or 80 per cent,
but 100 per cent, because the same condI-
tons that make one ear vital in it's every
kernel will contribute to the same end
in the case Of every kernel on every ear.

FROM cows TO SHEEP.

Every farnor is not in position to fol-
low a stereotyped system Of agriculture
or live stock industry, says the Chicago
Drovers' Journal. Farmers with physi-
cal energy to follow a strenuous life
can operate a dairy, but the man who
has seen ~three-score years can FIND
other branches Of animal industry prof
liable with less physical eXertion. But
q small per cent OF farmers ever reach
o%pulence when they can retire and live
on the income OF fixed Investments.
The farmer has always been accus-
toned TO active life. His profession is
the nearest to nature OF any vocation,
and as a student of nature he is taught
industry and frugality. The creative
forces of nature are never idle, and a
farmer To suddenly change from the
activities of the farm 10 a life without
m~ethodical employment would soon die
OF ennui.
Designedly, agriculture presents prof
liable employment from the child to the
veteran farmer whose pathway is light
ed with the sunset Of life. The transit
ton from the dairy industry to sheep
h~usbandry is often mad as a matter
Of necessity to accommodate failing
physical powers.
To maintain the fertility Of the land
some branch of animal husbandry is
necessary. Probably no class of live
SNbth liluuSlTS Is DSlltT dddplcu 10 DIO-
duce a fair income than is sheep nus
bandry. If the flock is free from foot
rot and sea 1t can be managed without
strenuous labor. While sheep do not
yield a daily income in contrast with
the cow, they produce two paying crops
a year in the wool and the increase.
Cows require a large amount of work
every day in milking and cleaning the
stables, while the droppings of sheep
can accumulate In the sheds and yards
and be hauled onto the land in the
spring.
There is economy in sheep husbandry
as compared with the dairy industry. 1t
takes the services OF an BILE bodied
care to n a herd Of Il cows,
while double the consuming capacity in
sheep would be managed by one man.
In sheep farming less expensive quar-
terS and less labor are necessary than
in the dairy industry. The high price
of farm help and the difficulty of OBJ
tanning reliable, trustworthy men to
work on the farm ave induced many
men to change frow cows TO sheep.
Wool commands a fair price meat
is high, and the sheep combines both
commercial products. Raising early
lambs for market and fattening sheep
for mutton are growing industries, and
the farmer who follows sheep hus-
bandry can exploit both of these profit
able branches of live stock industry.

The observance of Easter dates back

there was much contention among the
eastern and western churches as to
what day the festival should be oh
served. 1t was finally ordained at the
council of Nice in the year 325 that Il
must be observed throughout the Chris
tian world ON the same day. This de
cision settled that Easter should be
kept upon the Sunday FIRST after the
fourteenth day OF the first Jewish
month, but no general conclusion was
arrived at as 70 the cycle by which
the festival was to beoregulated, and
some churches adopted one rule and
some another. This diversity of usage
