Hints for Stock Owners.

The longer you keep sheep the more
fine, white clover you will have in
your pastures.
The best of the spring stock OF
lambs should be selected for breeders;
inferior ewes, wethers, lambs, etc.,
disposed of. Ewes that have not
been profitable should also be turned
Off
1t doesn't make much difference
whether you cook pumpkins for hogs
or not COrnmeal and bran are both
good to feed with them.
The fall pigs should be kept grow
ing but not too fat. They will pay to
winter for feeding next summer. The
early ones will go to market in Jan
uary and February, II well fed.
1t is not possible by any known
method to make dirty milk into clean
butter.
The use of the separator on the
farm if a good machine, benefits the
owner by close Swimming, makes few
utensils to wash, permits the use OF
the skim-milk, new and sweet, and
saves hauling a heavy load to the
creamery each day. If a man has
but one or two cows and does not
patronize a creamery, it will not pay
to buy separator With good, cold,
deep setting, the milk may be
skinned closely, and just as good
butter made as with separator.

There are several ways to break a
colt, but don't let the man do it with
a club.
Of all things, a horse hates to lie
down in a filthy bed. By naturO he is
a Clearly animal. He is worthy OF

How do you suppose a colt knows

BEWARE, We AATPINS.

Hoch der chief of police Of Hanover,
Germany! There is the man of con-
viction, of courage and of wisdom.
There is a savior of menaced human
ity.
For some time past the women Of
Hanover have been indulging in hat
pins so long as to make life of uncer-
tain tenure in that usually placid COM
munity. Many long scratches have
been given and se"ere punctures in
ficted by these keen, stiletto-like
fasteners. After several incidents of
this character had occurred the Off
ciaI interest was aroused and now
comes for the chief to declare that
hencefOrth when an accident occurs
to another through a woman's hat
pin she will be liable to arrest and
prosecution for assault.
Whether this will tend to decrease
the danger in this country or not re-
mains to be seen. The action Of the
police chief of Hanover, of unknown
but blessed name, suggests that the
American guardians of the public Sc
curity have now blazed before them a
plain path of duty. Perhaps if the
Hanoverian doctrine is locally adopted
it will be possible to ride in an AmeTi-
can street car without being threat
ened with permanent Disagreement or
total Observation-Disclosures Star.

HOW ARROWS WERE POISONED.
Indian Says They Used to Rob Rattle
snakes of Their Virus.


An old Cherokee Indian recently
told how the Indians of olden times
used to poison their arrowheads for
war purposes or for killing bears. Ac-
cording to the Denver Field and Farm
they took a fresh deer liver, fastened
it to long pole and then went to Ger
tain places where they knew they
would find rattlesnakes in abundance
About midday the rattlers are all
out of their dens, coiled up in the
sunshine The bucks would poke the
first RATHER with the liver on the long
pole. A RATHER, unlike common
snakes, always shows fight in prefer
ence to escaping.
The snake would thus repeatedly
strike at the liver with it's fargs until
its poison was all used up, whereupon
it would quit striking and try slowly
to move on. The bucks would then
hunt up another RATHER and repeat
the performance, keeping up the work
until the liver was well soaked with
snake poison.
Then the pole was carried home and
fastened somewhere in an upright po-
sition until the liver became as dry as
a bone. The liver was pounded to a
fine powder and placed in a buckskiI
bag, to be used as needed for the ar
rows. This powder would stick like
glue to any moistened surface.

covered a rift in the ore formation
which aroused the suspicious of the
mine foreman. He at once ordered
mis- men to insert charge and blast
away the danger one piece above
them. One of the miners did not take
the orders seriously, however, and be-
gan to hack away at it with his pick.
1t was only a moment until the hinge
chunk of ore, weighing over four
tons. was loosened and fell directly
upon the man, crushing him to death.
The story of hairbreadth escape Is
related by another miner in the same
region. An awful death was averted
only by the presence of mind of the
superintendent. A Finlander. who had
been at work in the mines for only a
short time had learned enough about
the blasting powder, containing about
80 per cent nitro-glycerin. and pre-
pared in sticks about six inches long.

For this reason it was kept in an

several sticks of the powder, this man
picked up these two and proceeded To
warm them to the proper temperature,

and he was on the point of being
blown to death just as the superin.

him the whole situation and with
quick thrust he struck the explosive

both his life and the lives of the
group of men standing near by.

Agriculture.

| dough. When on oats, hogs should
be fed some kind of heterogeneous sup
plement with corn, but not in such
large quantities as when they are on
bluegrass or timothy pasture.
Sorghum makes good pasture
during drouth Or hot weather, but is
not particularly relished by hogs. 1t
is best to pasture when about IL to
two feet high. 1t can also be used
when heading. Hogs on sorghum
also require some supplement WITH
corn. Pumpkins help to put the hogs
in good physical condition for a heavy
feeding period. They are easily anu
cheaply grown, and add greatly to
the value of a ration of corn. Soy
beans are very satisfactory where
they can be grown. They furnish
more grain an acre than cowpeas,
hence are more valuable for hog
feed. Artichokes furnish a succulent
feed for fall and early winter. They
are not injured very much by freez-
ing, and can be pastured at any time

is not frozen. For keeping the hog
healthy and in good physical condition
they are very valuable. Pigs or shotes
on good winter pasture will be in
much better health and will make
faster and cheaper gains than when
no pasture is furnished Rye and
wheat furnish the best winter pas
ture for hogs. Bluegrass, if not pas
tured too heavily in the fail. also
makes a good winter forage. Rye
should be sOwn in August and Sep
TENDER in order to give the best pas
ture. Wheat usually makes better fall
pasture, but is not as good for spring
use as rye. A good pasture for hogs
can easily be provided by using tenn
porary and quick-growing crops, such
as rape, oats, cowpeas, etc. These
crops should be planted in different
fields and one pastured while another
is growing.

BONUSES FOR BABIES

France, being still uneasy on the
subject OF race suicide" has decided
to take drastic steps to remedy mat
ters and in the autumn session OF
parliament proposals to increase the
population Will be put forward.
The two schemes which have at
tracted the most attention are those
drawn up by NJ. Paul Leroy BeauHeu.
an eminent economist, and Prof
Richet of the Academy of Medicine.
NJ. Richet proposes that the state
shall pay bonuses on every baby ex-
cept the frstborn. \ second baby
would bring a payment of a hundred
dollars and every succeeding one
bonus of 5000. NJ. Richet believes
that under this system the number OF
Dir his, which is now 1900 per an
nun, would increase to 1,OOO. 900.
This would cost the state about $780,
00O,onJ year. The professor pro-
poses TO raise the money by Imposing
a heavy death duty OF so per cent on
all collateral inheritances and all es-
tates left by parents TO an only child.
NJ. Beaulieu suggests that no civil
servant or municipal official should be
appointed 10 his Office until he is the
parent Of three children. This supu-
lation would apply TO women officials
as well as men. VI. Beaulieu also
