Washington, d. c., April 10.
William Quinlan of Missouri
Valley, Ia, has interested Con-
gresham Hitchcock in his case
to establish his title to a tract
on the Iowa side of the Missouri
near that town. Quinlan home
steaded it. The Northwestern
road claim it as swamp land
under a grant from the state.
The facts appear to be that it
is a piece of accretion land adj
joing a piece of railroads.
swamp land. 1t is now swamp
and it did not exist when the
railroad received it's land.
Legal query: Is the land in such
case to be regarded as an accre-
ton to the railroad company or
is it government land and open
to homesteading? Quinlan has
a brother in Nebr. who interest
ed Mr.. Hitchcock in the case.
He has applied to have an in
spector sent out to investigate
the case in detail, the decision
thus far being against Qainlan.

A POISON PLANT.

Look out for the water hemlock.
II is a poisonous plant that grows in
marshy places and kills cattle that
happen to eat it, The owner thinks
his cows have blind staggers" when
ii is henlock poisoning.
The plant has an offensive odor,
which generally keeps stock rom
eating it, but not always. The hem
iGLk resembles peppermint, and in
good soil may grow TO a height of
several feet. 1t kills horses as we'll
as cows.
Sometimes it is known as wild
pasnip," and it is rapidly fatal 10
both man and beast. 1t is one Of tho
NEST poisonous native plants in the
United States. 1t accounts for the
frequent and mysterious death of COWS
that often occurs. while feeding on
swampy pastures. Some notable cases
recently occurred near Bristol, Tenn,
which were referred to government
experts and resulted in the informa-
ton given above. No remedy has yet
beer discovered.

BREEDING FOR DAIRY.
k<%<<%*<<***<<*<<<$$%$%+%

DiAhEDlNO rOh DAlh1.
The best method for breeding for
dairy COWS seems to be often mis-
understood, For instance, some peo-
pie make point of breeding up a
good Jersey herd for the sake of rich
milk. Then they turn in Holstein
bull to increase the quantity, sup
posing that the progeny will be cop
ious mixers as well as rich mixers.
Experience shows such an effort
to be a failure The mixing of dis
tinct breeds works badly. Each has
been bred in distinct lines, which
clash when they come together and
tend to destroy each other. Line
breeding, as it is called, is best.
You mus select a given breed and
stick to it TO get best results.
Rather than mix the breeds, it is
better to breed a bull of pure stock
on scrub COWS, and thus grade up.
This can be done, because the scrubs
