According to British authority.

ject, the United States has a larger
number of hogs in proportion to its
population than Australia, New Zea-
land, Canada or Argentina, but the
number of beef cattle to the thousand

declining in price in this country.

CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE BLIZZARD.
How School Children of a Nebraska
Town Were Helped Home.

How School Children of a Nebraska
Town Were Helped Home.
Last Sunday was the twentieth an.
nlversary Of the great blizzard of 1888
in Nebraska and Northwestern Iowa."
said G. ID. Riggs the other day. II
was living in O'Neill, Neb., at the time,
and had just left the office to 60 home
for dinner when the blizzard struck.
II started to cross the street to a
drug store, but when l reached the
other side I found myself half way
down the block from my destination.
'The fine, wind-driven snowdakes
filed the air so that couldn't see my
hand before me. l finally worked my
way back to the drug store, where a
number Of other men had taken refuge
from the storm.
School had just been dismissed for
the noon recess, and we knew that
nearly 500 children were out In the
storm. Securing long ropes. the crowd
started out to rescue them. We found
them huddled In doorways and by the
sides of buildings. The children
caught hold Of the ropes and were led
to shelter by their rescuers, whose
sense Of direction gradually returned
to them. Every one of the 300 school
children in the town was got home In
safety.
But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during
the blizzard and thousands of cattle
died. The thermometer fell from about
the freezing point at noon to 20 de-
grees below zero that night. 1t was
the worse blizzard l ever saw, and
never want to experience another like
it."-Des Moines Register and Leader

Calves need salt as much as older

The water should be clean and the

Grooming does much to quiet the COW

production by regular grooming.

According to recent experiments by
Stanilas Tetard, widely known
French agriculturist, wheat and other
cereals can be protected against the
ravages of crows, which are particu-
larry fond of the grain when its sprouts
are just pushing above the ground, by
treating the seeds before they are
sown with mixture Of coal tar petro-
leum and picnic acid. This treatment,
which delays the growth of the seed for
day or two, but causes no damage
lmparts an odor which Is insufferable
to the crows, but which disappears
