COWS AND FLIES.

Some years ago the Wisconsin agri
cultural experiment station conducted
q test with view to determining the
results to be obtained from protecting
cows from flies during the late sum
mer months. One bunch of seven
cows was confined during the daytime
In a comfortable stable provided with
screen doors and windows, while a
second bunch was confined in small
lot provided with abundance of shade
Both lots were pastured at night and
received the same kind and amount
Of grain feed, together with all the
freshly cut sorghum and green corn
that they would eat up clean during
the day. While the cows confined In
the stable ate considerably more green
corn and sorghum, they lost more in
live weight during the four weeks of
the experiment than did the cows left
out of doors. During the first two
weeks of the experiment the cows kept
in the stable produced 56.7 pounds OF
milk less than during the two weeks
previous, while the cows not confined
showed decrease of only 404 pounds
The decrease In butter fat was 81
pound for the stabbed cows and 2.16
pounds for those running at large. A
consideration Of the results of the test
does not seem to show as great an eff
feet on milk dow from the fly nuisance
as Is generally supposed.

LEWISTON LAND & WATER CO. LEWISTON. IDAHO

The Chinese try hard to pay
all debts before New Years day;
and it is a mighty good plan for
all farmers to follow.
When man gets so rich or SO
high in society that he is ashamed
of his bent old mother in her
plaid shawl, and of her lack of
grammar, he is too snobbish for
honest men to trust out.
If the politicians were half as
solicitous for the welfare of the
farmer after the election as they
are for his vote before it, he
would soon get all that is coming
to him, including the postal saw
ings bank. Farm Journal.

able. If the sheep are properly shorn
with a machine, there will remain few,
If any, ticks on them after dipping:
Lambs usually harbor most ticks. IL
the lamb is dipped and the mother
not, it puzzles the mother to distinguish
her own lamb. She is liable to disown

WILLOW FOR POST TIMBER.

A north Iowa reader OF these notes
inquiries II the common willow cannot
be utilized for post timber in place Of
high priced cedar. He writes that he
has on his place a good many willows
which he thinks Of utilizing in this
manner. He suggests the wisdom Of
dipping the posts in hot tar so that It
will cover them to a point six inches
above the ground after they are set.
While he have never tried this method
of treating posts. we have seen 1t high
ly recommended. A well seasoned
peeled willow post will last from four
to seven years without any tar treat
ment. 1t is safe to say that II the
posts were well seasoned and dipped
In the hot tar their durability would
be nearly trebled. This has been the
case in experiments In which other
woods have been used, and 1t L. quite
likely that 1t would hold good with
willow. With post timber high and
the supply becoming yearly more linn.
tied, 1t would seem but the part Of
wisdom to treat with tar or other pre-.
sentative all posts to be set Of what.
ever kind. The small expense involved
is returned many times In the II
creased life Of the post.

MANAGEMENT of Sheep.

1t is important that sheep shall be so
managed that the most may be made
out of the fleece. The influences that
affect the fleece mainly are those of
climate, of food and care, of breeding
and Of age. The first and last inf1u-
ence wool less than the second and
third. Food affects the character of
wool by breeding it and thereby in
creasing its growth in length and also
in strength.
Breeding, however, accompanied by
selection, is the great factor in deter
mining what the degree of fineness or
of coarseness will be. Change in this re-
spect is brought about much more rap
idly by breeding than in any other
way. Protecting the wool from con-
tamination by foreign substances, such
as straw and chaff, is greatly impor-
tant. Where the flock is large the diff
ference of a portion of cent a pound
may make large difference in the ag-
gregate return received for it.
A little care in protecting wool may
result in a rich return in proportion to
the care expended.
The Care of Lambs.
Henry L. Wardell, a prosperous
sheep man, says Of the care of lambs:
The lambs when weaned should be
put on fresh ground-that is, pastures
or aftermath which has not been used
much for sheep that year. In fact, a
great secret of success with sheep is
a frequent change of pasture, and l
should rather change to poorer pas
ture for awhile than make no change.
The lambs then are let run in the day
time on the best pasture we have and
at night are hurdled on as much (no
more) of rape as they will clean up
close to the ground. l need not say
this ground on which lambs have been
hurdled will raise magnificent crops
without additional fertilizer.
During July and August 1 use some
good worm powders to mix with the
salt given the flock, and if any of my
lambs show indications of worm in the
head or giddiness l dose them with
tonic. The same may be done If on
too rank feed they are inclined to
scour. I have found also that for
worms In the head to shut them in a
tight box stall or other tight Enclosure
and spray them generously with crel
oil is the best remedy l have thus
far used.

Bread and Microbes.

From experiments made by M. Rous- sel in Paris it appears that only the crust of bread Is submitted to a suf- ficiently high temperature 10 kill all the bacteria which the loaf may con- tain. The inside of the loaf may there fore be contaminated by the microbes from consumptiye baker or conveyed i'll the water, as is the case with ty- phoid fever and cholera. Professor Metchnikoff was asked his opinion whether bread could not be source of danger, and his answer was as fol- lows: 'I don't think so. The tempera- ture to which the inside of a loaf is submitted generally exceeds 140 de- grees F. At this temperature many microbes are killed-those of tubercu- losis, for instance-but there are much hardier germs, such as those of anthrax. the germs of which are only killed at over 224 degrees r. But anthrax is rare, and it is hardly likely that bak- CT attacked by this terrible malady would continue to work once the dis ease had declared itself" Professor Metchnikoff advises, however, that only bread which is well baked, and therefore not crumbly, should be eaten

The young poet had just finished what he considered to be a work of real inspiration, and, rising from his table, he hastened upstairs to where his little wife, bride of six weeks, was sitting alarming his socks.
