cows to drop their calves, and the
cows should be bred so as to drop
their calves in the early spring, and
then when the cows are turned to
pasture in the spring the calves are
old enough to go with them and thus
have advantages for making rapid
growth and require very little atten-
tion during the busy summer months,
When the calves are few weeks
old they should be castrated and the
wound washed with some good germ
killer, so it heals rapidly. In the fall
the calves should be weaned and fed
on good, nutritious food. This should
consist of silage and roots, clover or
alfalfa hay, oats and bran-equal
parts-with daily allowance of some
reliable stock food to aid digestion
and promote quick growth.

Building a Herd For Beef.

In building up herd for beef pro-
duction, select COWS with a broad,
deep and square body, cows with a
good coating of flesh, for these, If
bred to, the right kind of bull, will
produce calves that will prove profita-
BILE feeders.
Now for the bull. The bull is half
the herd. He stamps his qualities
on all the calves, not simply on one
calf a year, as with the COW. Get a
registered bull of the breed you want,
even II you have only grade cows, as
then you are sure you are getting 4
beef breed from beef ancestors. Sc
lect bull that is of good size, with
a proud masculine bearing, good,
intelligent head, broad and full be-
tween the eyes, yet with quiet ex-
preston, as nervous, excitable ami
NAL will never fatten to good advan-
tage. He should be broad and
straight across the back, with smooth,
even hips. He should have well
sprung ribs, heavily covered with
flesh.

CullinC is Beneficial.

Culling the flock improves 1t and
makes it better every year, as a high
er standard is constantly being
evolved. BY an observation of the
individuals much can be learned. In
stead of running indiscriminately
with culls, one becomes acquainted
with the good hens and perhaps
makes pets of them and pride in their
individual excellence is entertained
by the owner. All of which is very
desirable. Then, too, the young flock
will be hatched only from the best
producers and the choicest specimens,
instead of from eggs taken indiscrim-
inately from the egg basket and large
ly from poor specimens, says Epito-
mist.
Even with good pure-bred stock
the matter of selection should not be
overlooked. There is no likelihood
Of there being such extremely poor
specimens in a pure-bred flock as in
a flock of mongrels, but at the same
time in every flock there are some
that are better than others. The OBJ
ject of this, then, is to impress upon
poultrymen and farmers the impor-
tance of a close scrutiny of the stock,
and to teach the fact by careful Sc
lection profitable flock may often
be built up from what may at first
seem to be very unpromising mate

Chew Your Whisky,

A new and novel cure for drunken
ness is proposed by the now famous
Mr.. Fletcher, who took a hint from
the wise old cud-chewing COW, and in
vented perpetual mastication. Mr.
Fletcher has applied to inebriates his
discoveries relative to mastication,
and asserts that his method has made
prohibitionists of a large number of
hard drinkers. The remedy is sim
pie. Instead of gulping down the
usual three fingers" in the old, famil-
lar way, letting 1t irradiate its sun
shine in one internal mechanism as
prescribed in the ancient Bacchic rites,
the whisky is taken in sips by the pa
tent or victim, who proceeds to chew
It stolidly for fifteen or twenty min
utes, gurgling it around in his mouth
until it is thoroughly insalivated. This,
Fletcher says, creates a physical in
tolerance of excess, and it is not long
before the victim is taking his "nips"
with medicine dropper. Chew your
whisky; that's the secret of temper
ance.-Washingt Post.

Pure.Bred Horses.

Next week will end the county fairs
in Ohio. l have attended county fairs
and the Ohio and Indiana State Fairs
this year. Becoming the owner of
coach stallion last spring, my interest
centered in the horse displays at
these fairs. shall not dwell upon
the displays at any of them, but l
wish to say few words through your
paper of the result of my own ex-
perience and that of many horse own
ers to whom l talked.
In Ohio we have no stallion law;
that is, anybody who owns stallion,
no matter how many blemishes or
other imperfections he may have or
how mongrelly bred he may be, he is
for service to any who apply. At
county fairs the so-called grade horse
was there, but / am happy to say he
was overshadowed by the magnificent
specimens of the pure-bred horse.
But the mongrel is like cancer; he
keeps on in business by the cheap
price he offers for service, and the
only way to drive him out is to pass
stringent laws allowing no mongrel
bred stallion to stand for service.
When a company or person pays
from $500 to $4,000 for horse they
should be protected. Under our pres
ent no-lawat-all, it is only a matter
of four years when horse of pure
h.c CT In, n hot
there will be as many grade stations
as you have fingers in as many miles
in every direction. This is not true
in all localities, but this statement
will hit more localities than it misses.
Thirty-five years ago l can remem-
Der that almost one-fourth of the
horses were blind. We have better
horses than in that day; we are be-
coming more educated, but like the
liquor question, it takes more than
education to correct the evil. Strin-
gent laws Of all kinds have been en-
acted to curb the liquor traffic, but it
still exists. If the eradication of the
mongrel bred horse is to be done by
education 1t will be long way off.
That there should be law of some
kind there is no doubt, but who is
going to take the first step? If the
Legislature of Indiana would move
in the matter, all owners of pure-bred
stations should get busy. In Ohio we
have to wait a year yet, as the Legis-
lature only meets every two years,
and this is the off year. In an article
in week or two l will outline law,
which believe would be efficient, and
the working of such a law prove
boon to the horse business for genera
tions to come.-C. c. Neal, in the
Indiana Farmer.

Profits on Poultry.

The profits to be derived from a
flock of fowls depend largely-very
largely-upon their housing and
keeping. 1t is unreasonable to ex-
pect hens kept in a cold, damp, filthy
house to produce eggs, and they SIM
ply will not do it. 1t is much easier
to fix the house up now than it will

fact, the chances are ten to one that

TSSUES IN NEW JERSEY.

The Spokesman of the Smith Nugent DemOe-
racy in New Jersey affect to resent the idea
that that state is likely to go Republican this
wear. as it has done for many years past. They
explain that the big majorities for Mckinley
and Roosevelt were due to the action of many
Democrats who revolted against the candidates
of their own party and voted the Republican
ticket but who this year are likely TO return
to the Democratic fold. And anyway, they
add there is little interest in the national cam
paign, so that local issues win probably deter
mine the result of the election.
Their logic is not convincing. If, they say,
thousands of Democrats bolted Bryan i'll 1896
and 1900 because of his vagaries, why should
they not again bolt him now, with his increased
record of vagares? We should think that they
would do so. especially in New Jersey, where
his candidacy has been so vigorously con-
demned by SO authoritative opponents Of real
Democracy as James Smith, jr, and James r.
Nugent If however, they bolted Bryan then
because of his radicalism, and viii now support
him because in their estimation he has passed
through his salad days and has become sober
and conservative, how is it that they did not
support Parker the supreme exemplar of
safety and sanity!
If the election should turn on local issues
there should be little comfort for the Demo
Gratis in that circumstance. The Republican
party has an admirable record of achievements
in state affairs on which to make its cam
paign Its attitude and achievements on such
subjects as equalization of taxation. limitation
of franchises, open primary elections, Civil Ser
vice reform, suppression of gambling, impartial
enforcement of laws and other matters are
such as 10 commend it strongly TO the CON
tinued support of thoughtful citizens.
IT does not require any extraordinary degree

Democrats who now dominate the party have
