Efforts to Prevent Street Car Strike
at Chicago Continue.

Chicago, Aug. 12.-The effort to
bring about a peaceful settlement be-
tween the street car companies of this
city and their employees has ben re-

Union officials are still firm in their
demand for a scale of 80 cents an
hour for men who had been with the
companies ten years, instead of re-
stricting that rate to men of fifteen
years. service. The street car officials
were apparently willing to accede to
this demand If 1t could be done with

DAIRYING I'm WINTER.
Good Barn, Good Feed and Fresh
Water Necessary to Success.

Calves dropped in September and
October are most desirable because
they thrive better at the start and can
quickly be converted into veal at a
time when ."baby meat" is at the high
est price. Another advantage is the
cow will go dry at time of the year
when flies are bad and when the
weather is warmest. To make winter
dairying success it is necessary that
the cows have comfortable barn and
plenty of good feed and fresh water.
In the winter the farmer or dairyman
can give the cows more attention than
during the summer months, says the
Journal of Agriculture, and in spare
time improvements may be made In
the stables and outhouses. The fall
cow can start into the winter in good
condition and with proper attention
can be kept in shape all winter. Cows
that milk heavily should be fed freely
from the silo 1t will be found that If
calves are kept for breeding the win
ter calf will do better than the one
born in the heat of summer when flies
are bad and grass is short. In the
summer raise plenty OF feed Of all
kinds for winter and when the cows
finally are placed in winter quarters
make them comfortable and they will
yield milk in the exact proportion In
which they are housed and fed. Calves
may be given skim milk with grain
and hay.

WHEAT BRAN FOR COWS.
Character Of the Feed from Different
Mills Varies Considerably.

Letters received at the station in
dicate that in some parts of Michigan
a prejudice exists against roller proc
ess wheat bran. says Prof. Smith of
the Michigan station. Some farm
ers prefer finely ground bran, others
are prejudiced in savor of coarser
samples. The product of roller mills
is not uniform in this respect. In
some samples the germ is ground
with the bran. In other mills the
germ is found either IN the -four or
as a separate by-product. To get
some light on the relation of the COM
position of bran to its physical APP
pearance, IA samples were ana
lyzed, some of them from roller mills,
some from burr stone mills, some
from mills of large capacity and 9TH
ers from smaller establishments, The
per cent. of protein varied from 1892
per cent. in the bran of a roller proc
ess mill with an annual output of
LOO tons to 10 per cent. in first
grade roller process brans from one Of
the immense mills in Minneapolis. Lit
tie variation was found in the COM
position of extremely coarse bran and
the finer articles. The chemist says
on this topic: "The two extremes,
the very coarse and the very fine, ara
of much the same composition, while
neither shows the best sample so far
as feeding properties are concerned
The medium grades generally show
better analysis than either of the
extremes Theoretically the bran pro-
duced by the roller process should be
more valuable than that produced by
burr stones, as in one the germ, which
is rich in fat, is separated out with the
flour, and in the other this part goes
into the bran. The roller process
brans are all perceptibly higher in
protein than are those of the burr
stone process. 1t is not so much
the amount of starch present in the
bran, as the amount of protein and fat
that is of consideration to the feeder.
The end for which the millers are
constantly working in the milling pro-
cess the most complete separation of
the starch possible and the needs of
the consumer of the bran, a food rich
in protein and fat, are identical. The
new milling process, instead of supply
ing the feeder with an inferior grade
of feeding stuffs, furnishes him with
one much superior to that supplied by
the old process"

wINrERINo THE COLT.
He Must Be Better Fed Than Is the
Idle Work Horse.

Many farmers seem to think that
the wintering of the colt is no differ
ent than the wintering of the idle
farm horses. This is a mistake. 1t
is quite different thing, for the colt
is growing animal while the horse
has already attained his development.
The wintering of the colt is. the same
as the wintering of any other young
animal. Good feed and care are both
essential to the best results. Where
these are not supplied there is bound
to be stunning of the young animal
and this is not to be desired.
A run about the straw stack with
nothing else to eat is not enough for
the growing colt. He needs some
thing more than clear straw for his
daily diet. The straw does not supply
the muscle making food that is nee
essary for his best development. The
colt should be treated to a grain ra-
ton as well as one of good roughage.
DR.. Alexander puts it well in the fol-
lowing advice, intended for all who
are wintering growing colts:
1T is a ruinous policy to rough
colts through the winter on coarse, in
nutritious straw and hay. They should
be generously fed at all times so that
they may be kept steadily growing,
for ii they stop growing in winter, or
lose part of the gain made while a
sucking, that loss never can wholly
be regained. The bones, sinews and
muscles have been stunted for all
time and the dwarfed animal can be
made only a make-believe drafter by
the fattening process, which is detri-
mental to a work horse.
I'm addition to hay, fodder and
straw, oats and bran should be fed in
winter alone with sufficient amount
of corn to maintain heat and furnish
some of the vim and vigor. Dried
blood meal also is excellent as a small
addition to the ration to bring up the
percentage of digestible protein, or
fiaxseed meal or cake may be used
with the same object, while roots,
such as carrots, are fine adjunct as
they regulate the bowels and act bene-
ficially upon the skin"

Feeding New Corn to Hogs.

Whether or not new corn causes
cholera or swine plague, it is not best
to begin feeding shoats all they will
eat of new corn. When / begin feed
ing new corn l cut stalks and all as
long as they chew the stalks, and at
the same time | feed them old corn
till they become accustomed to the
change, says writer in Farmers
Voice. Thus l make the change
gradually without causing any de-
rangement of the bowels, which is one
of the prime causes of cholera and all
hog diseases. have never lost a
hog from feeding new corn, but
have never put hogs on full feed of
new corn. cannot say from expert
ence whether or not new coin has
even tendency toward causing. dis
eases of swine, but to guard against it
by making gradual change seems to
me the wisest policy.

WindIass for scaIding Hogs.

where hog can be scraped and then
wound up to pole. Any number of
hogs can be dressed in this manner.
l use hooks for ring and hook for
attaching gambrel. Let the iron band
pass round the windlass pole. The
ring must be loose on pole. The
sketch, taken from Prairie Farmer,
shows the plan. The cut shows that
one hog has been scraped and pulled
up to the hook, where the entrails can
be removed. With the same rope over
barrel, another hog can be scalded
and scraped and then drawn to the
second hook, and so on.
