WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-rhe anti
racing campaign which Governor
Hughes has been propagating so as
siduously was roundly denounced. and
the Governor himself severely scored Ia
an address by Jouett Shouse, of Lex

states. With no races there will be
no attempt made to produce thorough

During the last couple Of years q
good many dairymen In Australia have
adopted the practice Of blanketiug
their cows during wet and cold wealth
err, and the results In every case are
spoken Of as being highly satisfactory
When cows are kept warm the food
they consume, instead OF being utilized
to maintain bodily heat, is largely de-
voted to the production OF milk, and In
this way the dairyman realizes a largo
profit on the very small outlay required
to provide blankets for his CATTLE In
cold weather.
Men who have studied the subject
closely say that the effect of covers ON
cows Is very remarkable. The quiet
COWS become more quiet and contented,
while those that are shy and nervous
have their nerves soothed and submit
to being handled without fear. This is
no fad OF one or two men, but has be-
come so common that manufacturers
have placed several kinds Of blankets,
as coverings, on the market with view
to supplying the demand that has aris-
en-. It is said, however, chat a home
made blanket, made from old wheat
bags, serves the purpose as well as any
a short time they become thoroughly
water proof.-Northwes Farmer, Win

Kansas Corn Tests.

One Of the most valuable bulletins on
Indian corn which we have yet seen is
No. 147 issued by the Kansas Expert
ment Station. 1t contains the reports
of four years of actual work in the corn
experimental station by Professors Ten
Eyck and Hustled. during these four
years 112 varieties OF corn were tested.
The bulletin gives the results of very
careful study of these different varie-
ties with a recommendation of such
varieties as seem best adapted to
Kansas conditions, In addition to this
study of varieties very complete re-
port is made of different methods OF
planting and the best date to plant,
study of soil moisture In connection
with the different methods of planting.
different ways of cultivating q COM
paratlve style of fertilizers, a study In
rotation, experiments in shrlnkage, etc.
Altogether 1t Is an admirable bulletin.
1t differs from all other bulletins on
this subject which have been issued, IN
that it contains the reports of actual.
careful experimental work, rather than
theoretical presentation of the sub

sowing clover win RAPE.

Clover seed with rape Is q very sue
cessful and popular method with many
farmers who are engaged in raising
sheep and goats. says bulletin issued
By the Department Of Agriculture
With the land prepared as indicated
for sowing clover alone In the s!ring,
ten to twelve pounds Of clover seed and
two to four pounds of rape seed per
acre are sown broadcast about the first
Of May, and covered with harrow.
II the ground is rough and cioddy, IL
should be finished with a roller. II
this mixture is sown on a thoroughly
pulverized and compact seed bed, the
rape develops rapidly and furnishes ex-
ceIlent pasture for sheep, goats, calves
or swine, In six to eight weeks The
tramping OF the animals while feeding
during the summer, principally on ths
rape, forms q dust mulch on the sur
face Of the ground. In this way coil
moisture is retained for the use OF the
clover during the dry summer.
II hay crop is desired the second
season, the rape is killed by pasturing
It closely with sheep during the late
fall or winter. Sheep eat or thN
crowns OF tie plants close TO ina

An invaluable cure for sore eyes Is
little boracic powder dissolved in

Old medicines should not be pre-
served Many medicines deteriorate,
and what is good at one time may not
be so at another. The fewer medicine
bottles lying about the less risk of the
wrong medicine being administered
A homemade cough syrup that is
highly recommended calls for the juice
! of one lemon, half a stick of licorice,
pounded fine, tablespoonful of gly-
cerine and a couple of ounces of good
brandy bottle and shake well, so as
to thoroughly blend the ingredients.
One to two teaspoonfuls is the dose.
Always keep carbonate Of soda In
the house-it Is useful for so many
pur poses. For burns and scalds it is
an excellent remedy. The surface Of
the burn should be covered with 1t,
either dry or just damped. 1t relieves
Of insects. A small saltspoonful In
half a tumbler Of water will relieve
heartburn and Indigestion, and If taken
with tepid water last thing at night
will frequently induce sleep in restless
persons
For chtlblains, wash four, five or six
carrots. let they dry just enough to
CRATE nicely, then CRATE with a coarse
crater and bind on the affected part.
This will give relief at once, and will
cure In from Two to four nights the
worst case. This remedy is also good
for frozen flesh. Apply at once, before
the frost comes out, and one applica-
ton will be found enough. Raw carrot
used as q poultice will cure bunions in
from six to twelve nights. Have the
poultice large and thick.
A patient troubled with bronchitis

The doctor further said that equal
parts Of glycerine and water dropped
into the mouth would relieve much SUI

Straw which American farmers

One who Is the possessor of a horse
and cart Is considered to be wealthy,
1t seems very good to us, but most OF
the horses belonging to the farmers
wear shoes made of rice straw, even
the clumsiest horses.
A farmer taking goods to market
will take extra shoes with him to re-
shoe the horse In the event of one pair
wearing out The shoes are tied
around the ankle with straw rope
made Of rice straw, braided so that
they form a sole for the foot about
half an inch thick.
The average shoe usually lasts about
eight miles of travel.
In Japan In former times II was us
ual to measure the distance by the
number Of shoes 1t took to cover the
distance. The horses hat and harness
Is also made Of the rice straw.
They are too poor to buy harness
like American farmers would have.
The farmers wear shoes, hats and
raincoats made OF rice straw.
The japanese farmer usually dwells
in a comfortable, inviting, faultlessly
clean home, without particle of dust
or dirt.

CROWS REAR YOUNG HAWK.
Later They Picked the Young Bird

to Pieces.
How crows adopted a young red
tailed hawk and what came of 1t Is told
by Bert Jennings. young ornithologist,
says the New York World correspond
ent at McKeeyer. n Y. From time i'm
memorial crows have been the enemies
Of hawks.
Jennings says that the crows descend
ed upon the hawks home while the
parents were away, boosted out the
youngster and worked him along the
ground to the foot of the tree contain
ing their nest Then they boosted.
hauled, pushed and pulled him up,
using their beaks, wings and claws to
get him there.
The parent hawks made great fuss
when they got home and found one of
their young missing. but they didn't
conduct any exhaustive search fo- the
fiedgeling.
The ornithologist wondered why the
crows didn't kill the young hawk in
stead of taking so much trouble to
keep him alive, and eventually found
out the reason When the young bird
got ready to fly the word was passed
around through all the crow colonies
and big focks gathered, Growing and
clamoring. When they had al assem-
bled the leader started to peck at the
young hawk.
This was a signal for general on
slaught, and soon all the crows were
fighting for a chance to peck at the
little fellow. He was harassed and
worried and then fairly picked to
pieces. When there was nothing left Of
him the crows wheeled, circling over
head, until they spied the parent bircs.
These they chased clear out Of the
neighborhood, together with the young
sters they had been able to rear.
