In feeding dairy cows for n large
milk yield individuality must be stud
led 20 obtain maximum results. be-
cause cows differ, says Farm Progress.
II is customary 10 estimate n certain
amount OF feed for a thousand pounds
OF cow, but some cows weighing 900
pounds will eat and make good use OF
more feed than other cows weighing
1000. 1t pays 10 give dairy COW all
the feed she will eat. provided she re-

Dry Land FOR Sheep.

The sheep Is a dry land animal and
will not continue healthy for any
length OF time on wet. springy soil.
These wet places are ideal breeding
ground for oil sorts of internal para
sites that prey upon tho sheep.
Foot diseases are induced also by
these conditions. and any one who has
experience with genuine foot rot will
do his best TO steer clear OF causes that
lead to this trouble. one OF the worst
with which the shepherd has to deal.

Something OF the importance OF live
stock, and especially dairying, on the
farm is seen in the fact that only 10
cents OF fertility leaves the farm in
300 pounds OF butter sold. but SIS OF
fertility goes from the farm for every
100 bushels OF corn sold from It. This
Is the difference TO the farm In grain
farming and dairy farming when con-
sidered as a final analysis. And herein
are the reasons why dairy farming en-
riches the farm as II does, while grain
farming impoverishes It without live
stock TO return fertility.

The Cost Of Weeds.

No farmer can estimate his loss from
weeds. but the loss appears on every
hand, says Farmers Advocate. The
weedy patches In the feld produce no
crop: the weeds in the alfalfa seed re-
suit In low price for the highest
priced seed the farmer has to sell; the
weed seed In the oats and wheat re-
suits In heavy dockage at the eie-
vator, and, besides. an annual fight
with the weeds Is expensive. Clean up
the farm and farming will be much
easier. Begin now.

Double st.al Scoring RuIe.

When two players try double steal
and one OF them is put out the other
does not get credit for a stolen base.
The above baseball ruling has been
made by President Pulliam of the Ma
tional league. and official scorers In
that organization have been instructed
20 follow II In all games. When ques-
toned about the new ruling President
Pulliam said: II hardly think II fair
TO the catcher 20 credit one runner with
a stolen base II he nips the other when
the pair try for a double steal. He
certainly cannot throw out both base
runners and should be protected TO
that extent. or course there may be

Additional Detectives Trying to Solve
Rustin Murder Mystery.

Omaha, Neb., Sept 1.-two addi-
tional detectives have been placed at
work on the mystery surrounding the
death of DR.. Frederick A. Rustin The
hat worn by the physician the night of
the tragedy has not yet been found
ard this is considered important in
view of the fact that the pistol with
which the shooting was done is also
missing.
Mrs. Rustin was questioned about
the nat the day of the inquest but she
merely said it had not been seen. That
the hat disappeared through the same
agency which made away with the pis-
toll is now regarded as established.
Rustin wore a black derby hat and
it has been suggested that he might
have placed it against his abdomen as
mark for the person who shot him,
in the event of his death having oc-
Cured in that manner 1t is also
agreed that had the bullet passed
through the hat before entering his
body it would have prevented powder
marks showing either on the clothing
or on his skin.
Davis is still at the home of Luther
kountz. his nephew, and is said to be
recovering partially from the shock
incident to the Rustin shooting and in
quest and his illness following his own
attempt at suicide.
