Objection to Cement Mausoleums-Ay

Objection to Cement MausoIeums-An
Improvement.
A great deal of fault is found with
cement stables for COWS. or for pigs
for that matter. because they are apt to
be damp. They often are. Too many
cases of pneumonia have occurred
where cattle have been put in newly
made cement stables not to make their
resemblance to tombs suggestive. This
won't do. A board sieve is preferable
to a cement mausoleum. However sue.
cessful we may be in turning our cows
into milking machines, we can't teach
them to thrive in a cellar.
The illustration is from a photograph
OF a COW stable to which this objection
can't be taken. The foundations are of
concrete. The frame is of 6 by 8 inch
stuff, while the studs are 2 by 4 inches.
The rafters are of 4 by 4 inch ma

Vegetable Ivory.

The plant yielding the vegetable
ivory is known to botanists as Ply
telephas macrocarpa. 1t is a native
Of South America, found chiefly
along the Magdalena river, in Co.
lombia. 1t is a stemless, palmlike
plant, the top of which is crowned
with from twelve to twenty very
long leaves. The fruit consists of a
conglomerated head in six or seven
sections, the whole being inclosed in
a woody covering, forming altogeth-
er a globe as large as a mans head.
A single plant sometimes bears six
or eight of these heads, each weigh
ing from twenty to twenty-five
pounds. When young they contain
a milklike fluid, which with age
hardens until it becomes valuable as
a substitute for real ivory.

Almost all the drilling that was
done Tuesday was On the school

to be present and Lieut.. Kelsey had
charge of the men.
After drilling on the campus a while
Tuesday the men were marched down

street and in it were several h%ayseeds,
who had at some time during their
measley careers heard a few com.

Sucn competent musicians as these
are hard to get and Company "D' is
indeed fortunate in having them.
Just before dismissal Sergeant Sine
made a short speech to the boys and

militia he had not seen a company of
men learn so quickly and accurately
as the members of Co. "D.'
Some talk has been made of an in
vitation to Co. cd" to attend the en-
campment at Big Stone the latter part
of June. Nothing is positively known

A squad of men will be enlisted at
Stockholm in the near future and will
drill with the Twin Brooks bunch.
Victor GRANDSON has been appoint
ed corporal, tho it has not vet been
officially announced.
With the exception of one or two the
soldiers here are all fine fellows.
There is a private in the ranks who
thinks he has a generals authority

There is still a chance for this Peskv

TIL FEE DER.

Some molasses feeds have been found
to contain large quantities of unground
weed seeds
These seeds pass through the animal
undigested and are distributed over the
field with the manure.
The farmer not only pays at the rate
Of $2G to S2S a ton for material having
no feeding value. but he likewise is
obliged to spend his money and energy

Water One-half the Live Weight.
Peas are especially good feed for
lambs and are eaten with better appe-
tite than any other grain. but the mix
ture with corn makes a better balanced
ration. There is more digestible nutri-
ment In this mixture than in any other
combined grain foods. l have also
found the pea straw to be a very much
more agreeable feed for roughage than
any other kind of fodder.
But there are several other things to
be considered in feeding besides the
feed alone. The lambs should be kept
in comfort and in an airy and warm
shed in which they may run out at will
and have a supply Of fresh pure water
from a well always in reach. Water is
not as often thought of in this connec-
ton as it should be. As 1t forms one
half the live weight Of a lamb. it fur
nishes a considerable help In the feed
ing not only directly. but as an induce
ment to the lambs to eat heartily and
digest and assimilate the food more
completely. Plenty of water aids d.
gestion and helps to increase the
weight Of flesh and fat made more
than many persons think. All feeding
animals. but especially sheep. should
have an abundant supply Of good wa.
ter, and well water is preferable, as It
does not injure the lambs by chilling.
as Ice cold water does.-H. S. In Coun-
try Gentleman.
Molasses For Pigs.

weight of two parts bran. one part

HoIstein Beef.

While in character the Holstein-
Friesians are essentially a dairy breed
and are so regarded in America, yet as
an all around dairy breed the matter Of
beef and veal must not be lost sight Of.
and In Holland these are very impor-
tant points. There few cattle are al
lowed to pass their seventh year, but
before they pass out Of their prime
they are fattened and sold as beef.
The late Professor l. P. Roberts in
speaking Of Holstein-F riesian beef said.
II ate 1t for three weeks and the Eng
lish beef for two, and, while not so fat
as the ~Shorthorn, it was to my taste

Since then he had reiterated that
he would kill zone of the prosecutors
referring to Heney.
And also, since that time, Haas had

Ruef. Very recently he was seen in
the company of Billy" or Dick

Haas state of mind and of his asso-

He also told that Haas was fugi-

fatherland he had killed or mortally
wounded an opponent in the same

aroused in the minds of those to whom
he made his confession.
1t was a constant force, so Haas de-
clared, that urged him to commit the
crime of a coward and an assassin
Hints were constantly dropped by these
unknown persons whose identity Haas
would not divulge, and his depraved
mind was played upon by a master
mind which gradually secured domina-

task. 1t was not only by direct sug-
gestion. but by suave persuasion, that
the result was achieved

I'D kill man who did that to me-

posed as being friendly toward him.
