Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with a barn cellar in
which the flock has been kept with
varying success. The barn cellar is
an excellent place for sheep II rightly
arranged. There should be plenty OF
openings to the south, allowing sun
to reach all parts of the stable, so
as to keep 1t thoroughly dry. Thorough
drainage is essential
There must be ventilation at the
rear OF the stable. A bad practice is
to keep the sheep in stables on stable
manure. says Farm and Home. The
fermenting manure destroys the color
and texture of wool. A hint which
has been worth many dollars to me is
to use only long straw, hay or weeds
for bedding sheep. If short straw or
sawdust is used 1t gets into the fleece
and is an everlasting nuisance.

A ROASTING PIG.
Age for Killing and How to Dress for
Cooking.

To prepare a pig for roasting
choose one four or six weeks old
which is plump and fat and has had
an abundance OF milk The best way
to kill such a pig, says Farm and
Home, is to stick him with a sharp
two-edged knife, cutting the artery
ON the left side of the throat.

times in boiling water and scrape with
dull knife, Heat the water to about
200 degrees, which is Just hot enough
to scald. Don't leave the pig in the

WHY DO you cRoss.eREED2
A Question Which II Would BE Well
for Some Farmers to Answer.

know number of farmers who
have hobby for cross-breeding
among their stock, especially hogs
have never been able to understand
the reason for this. II the breeders
have spent years trying to perfect a
breed, how can we hope by one cross
to improve upon It? Some claim that
II Is necessary to infuse new blood
into the breeding stock, and this is
well enough; but why should that new
blood be other than of the same
breed? We can get a male of the same
breed that is not akin to our stock
and still keep the breed pure. II is
pretty sight to see all the hogs or
poultry on a farm the same breed and
color, Then 1t is good policy to keep
the breed pure, for it has been proved
beyond a doubt that pure-bred stock
are the most profitable. 1t is simply
an old fogyism that causes farmers to
persist in this old practice of trying
to improve the best breeds that have
taken scientific breeders many years
to breed up to the present state of per-
fection. There may be reasons, and
good ones, why cross-breeding is
practiced. but | have never heard
them given.

NEED MORE PROTEIN.
Corn Alone Not Satisfactory as a Hog
Feed Says the Farmers Voice.

A station bulletin says: It is now
clearly recognized that dry feed alone,
especially where corn is the exclusive
ration, does not provide the most sat
isfactory combination of nutrients for
the hog. The fact that corn is so
generally cultivated has led to its al
most exclusive use as a fattening ra-
tion for hogs in many localities,
which is unfortunate in the light of
Investigations made in the last few
years, as the results distinctly show
that much better gains would be OBJ
tained we're the corn combined with
some other food which would supply
the needs of the growing animals to
better advantage
For fattening purposes corn stands
supreme, but 1t is not a complete and
perfect food for either growing or fat.
tening animals, and this statement ap-
plies to all classes of livestock. From
the standpoint of the hog feder, corn
Is deficient in both protein and min
eral matter, especially the latter Since
the uniform and rapid development OF
the animal depends on the main
tenance OF the skeleton or bony frame
work, the nutrition Of the muscles,
and the formation OF fat, 1t is essen.
tial that such foods be fed as will
provide for the needs Of the body in
the cheapest form. AS other grains
are rich In some OF the constituents
In which corn is deficient, It appears
that q combination Of them will prove
effective, and such is shown to be the
case by the results presented.
The common practice OF feeding
corn alone to hogs would be corrected,
were some well-known truths more
generally recognized. For instance. It
Is stated on competent authority that
the ash OF corn Is entirely indigestible
by swine. Moreover, the Withholding
OF mineral matter from the hog not
only impairs the skeleton, but the
whole nutritive process is disturbed
as well, and the growth Of the animal
Is seriously retarded II our results
are to be relied upon. The fact that
gains two or three times larger than
those normally obtained on corn alone
follow the proper adjustment OF the
ration is matter of such far.reach.

STUDY MATTER OF FEEDS.
High Prices Of Grain Makes This
Necessary.

When grain is high in price, the
raiser of stock needs to study the
matter of feed more than at any other
time. 1t does. not pay to give foods
that merely fill up, and that is what
the temptation is in times when prices
are inflated for the most valuable
feeds. The man that understands the
constituents Of feeds will generally
find he can beat the high prices by
raising some kind of a crop that will
give him a big supply OF cheap feed.
Thus. the man that has a good blue
grass pasture can conserve II, fertilize
1t, and make 1t produce very large
amount OF nutritious feed that will,
for some OF his stock, make It pos
sible to greatly cut down on the grain
ration, though this cannot be cut out
entirely. The men that have been
feeding corn extensively to steers will
have to balance that corn with clover,
alfalfa, soy beans or something else to
decrease the amount of corn used, for
protein In corn comes very high, on
account OF the large amount OF starch
that has to be paid for to get a little
protein.

Mistake to Have the Barn Too

A good sheep barn is a poor one.
This may seem to be absurd, but the
facts support such statement. There
is no question but that many focks

less productive by reason Of too close
housing. In few sections do sheep
need more than a wlndbreak and rain

Whistlers After Dark.

There appears to be a difference of opin-
ion between the Police Court and the po-
lice department in the matter Of whistling
In the streets. Under Maj. Sylvester's
recent orders q man was arrested for
whistling too loudly near the midnight
hour, but the court dismissed the case on
the presentation Of evidence that there
was no other offense charged against the
defendant. There should be no misunder-
standing about this matter. II loud
whistling at night 10 punishable by law
the fact should be established sufficiently
to lead to punishments when the police
make arrests. II the court Is not going
to consider this action as reprehensible
the police should be instructed by their
superiors to make no more arrests on this
ground. However the court may regard
the matter, the fact remains that the
midnight whistler Is nuisance whose
suppression is greatly to be desired in the
interest OF public peace. If he can be
suppressed by admonition 1t will be better
than though more drastic measures are
REQUIRED.

The Independence League.
From the New York World


1t is the irony Of fate that Mr.. Hearst,
whom the democratic bosses Of New York
used in 1908 to further their own sordid
schemes, should set himself up in 1908 as
a scourge to punish them for their iniqui-
ties. 1t is likewise the irony Of fate that
just as the republicans we're beginning to
seem anxious about Mr.. Bryan's political
strength the hottest, hardest. cruelest
blows against his candidacy should DO
struck by three OF his most ardent sup
porters in 1808-Thomas Il. Watson. the
populist candidate for President: Eugene
v. Debs. the socialist candidate for Presi-
dent, and William r. Hearst, the leader
Of the independence League. Possibly
Mr.. Bryan may be the stronger among
the more moderate elements by reason
of this advanced radical detection repre-
sented by the populist, socialist and inde-
pendence parties; but the Hearst ticket
must be reckoned with for all that. It
matters little whether its candidates get

or Florida But if it proves to be half

Coroner Nevitt's recommendations for q
larRer appropriation for his once are
worthy of approval by the Commission
ers and by Congress. 1t IL surprising to
learn that Washington Is SO far behind
other cities In the matter of Its equip
ment for investigating crimes Of violence.
accidents and disasters. While there may
be a difference Of opinion as to the de-
STABILITY of continuing this particular
form for the prompt entertainment Of
facts in cases Of death by violence as
crime, the fact remains that az long Al
the coroner's inquest process remains In
vogue 1t should be maintained upon
proper scale.
At all events, there should be a suit
ably equipped and manned morgue for
the reception of the bodies Of those who
have died suddenly or by violence. There
is no real economy in paying such small
salaries as those that are in vogue at
the District morgue. The work Is of a
character that calls for liberal compensa-
ton. 1t is unpleasant and appeals to a
very limited number Of people who are
competent and willing to serve In that
connection. These facts should be taken
into consideration in the arrangement Of
the salary scale.
The coroner calls attention to the fact
that there is no provision for an official
stenographer at the morsue. This il an
omission which should be promptly sup
piled in the next appropriation bill. Con-
sidering the number OF cases in which
important interests are at stake, 1t Is
highly desirable that the coroner's office
should be so equipped as to enable him
to present to the Commissioners or to
the district attorney full verbatim tran
scripts Of all the testimony taken before
him. If he Is not provided with facilities
of this kind. arrangements should be per-
fected whereby he can at any time se-
cure stenographic services from the Dis
trict government of'ices. There should be
no possible question about his ability to
secure accurate reports Of the testimony
given at the inquest.
