Rye as Horse Feed.

Rye is a good grain to feed horses.
1t is equal to oats and wheat, but it
must be ground middling fine and
mixed with cut straw or cut hay.
The straw or hay should be cut into
half-inch lengths, moistened with wa
ter and the rye meal we'll mixed with
it. 1t is very sticky and horses can
not get the meal without eating the
straw or hay with it. In feeding corn
to horses we always grind half rye
with the corn to make the corn meal
stick to the cut straw. Corn and rye
ground together in equal proportions
and mixed with bright cut straw
moistened with water make well-bal-
anced ration, equally as good, as eager
ly sought after by horses and cheap
er horse feed than oats and hay.

HOG. and straw Kicks.

Some farmers think that straw
rick is a good place for the SOW and
her brood to sleep. This is a mistake.
1t is best to keep them away from the
straw pile winter and summer. In the
winter the pigs will burrow beneath
the straw, get too warm and take cold
when they come out into the freezing
atmosphere. Coughing and wheeling
is the result, and the pigs do no good
or die. Besides, if burrowed beneath
the straw they are liable to be stepped
on and seriously injured or killed by
the stock running to the rick.
During the summer months especial
ly should the SOW and her young be
fenced from the straw pile. If they
burrow down into the half rotted
straw they will be very apt to con-
tract some disease.

Fat In Milk.

1t can not be that the butter fat in
milk is obtained from the fat stored
IN the tissues of the cow, otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciated.
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest, and
not from the reserve or accumulation
OF fat in their bodies. Reason as we'll
as observation teaches that COWS ex-
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and to produce a
large percentage of cream the rations

ments Of nitrogen and carbohydrates,
which are found in linseed meal, mid

unless COWS are fed on rations rich in
l"e elements that produce cream.

Digging Potatoes.

The time is near when farmers will
be digging their potatoes, and then is
the time to select the seed for another
year; when a hill of nice smooth po-
tatoes is found, free from scab or rot,
and goodly number are just the
shape and size wanted for table use,
put them one side. At night gather
them up and put them away for seed
next spring. You will be surprised to
see how you can change the type and
improve them in few years, says a
Vermont contributor to the American
Cultivator We do this every year,
and, while our townspeople are com
planning of their potatoes running out
and buying of us to renew their seed,
we are planting potatoes Green
Mountains) that started from the seed
that was bought for SIS a bushel when
they first came around. If farmers
would take as much pains in selecting
their seed potatoes as they do their
seed corn, we would not hear so much
complaint about potatoes running out.

In the conflict In From Bull Run to

Of the thoughts and acts Of his first
night on battlefield.
1--WE were ordered to sleep on our
arms the night whose dawn was to
usher in the battle. | had heard a
good deal about soldiers obeying or
ders. / thought Of the boy who stood
on the burning deck so when I lay
down that night, with old mother earth
for a bed, / stretched myself out at
full length on top of my musket.
"It was little rough, but the mere
thought of being soldier and sleep
ing on my arms on the eve Of battle
made my bed feel as soft as bed OF
roses.
"And then the gun! 1t was an old
f1int-lock musket, minus the flint, and
no powder or ball. But | was at least
a soldier and had gun, and would
surely see the battle and write home
about it. A soldier seldom thinks he
will be among the slain. He may be
wounded or taken prisoner, but it is
always the other fellow who Is going
to be killed"

IN his little Half Moon other white
men had looked at our great North
river, but In looking at it Hudson
saw 1t. That is, he saw It's signi1,
canoe, and so he explored 1t and told
men all about it, Long before Colum,
bus discovered America some Of the
old vikings may have landed on the
New England coast, but they never in.
diligently saw the new world that
Columbus discovered.
AS in the case of Hudson, so also
in the work Of Fulton we see the
great difference between looking and
seeing. Before Fulton began the pa.
tient experiments that ended In max.
ing him the Father OF Steamboating'
many men knew that boat could be
propelled by steam power, but when
Fulton saw 1t he knew what 1t meant
He saw that 1t would revolutionize the
methods of navigation and vastly en-.
rich the world. When he was building
the Clermont men called 1t Fulton
Folly" But when 1t went bravely up
the Hudson men began to see what
Fulton had long seen.
1t was, then, by happy suggestion
that these anniversary observances
should associate the work that Hud,
son and Fulton did for men in their
day, and in SO doing contributed sc
much to the making of this great city
and this Empire State. Let us gladly
acknowledge our debt of gratitude to
these great men. Through them the
Lord brought blessing to us and to all
human kind
Let us then praise famous men, for
the Lord hath wrought great glory by
them through His power.

Plow five OF six inches deep In the
growing season, say April, May and
June. Give it good digging, then
cultivate with a cultivator that has
teeth close enough so they will cut
the roots two or two and one-half
inches under the ground The secret
is to keep it from getting to the sur

weeks. 1t does not take expensive
tools. l use an o1d-fashioned cult
vator that was bought fifty years ago
1t has seven teeth, three in front, four
In rear; each tooth cuts six inches
wide. 1t Is good to drag it over after
three or four days. I cultivate once
week for six weeks; it has never
failed me yet. The roots will be dead
as hay. 1t is good for Canada thistles
If one Is doubtful, take a rod or more
square and keep 1t down for six
weeks and see how it works. This was
done with hoe on two acres, and 100
bushels Of smutnose corn were raised
to the acre, planted in drills one foot

Remark of Senator Smoot at Warship's
 Launching Is Criticised.

Washington, December 25.-(Special) There was a spirit of disquiet among clergymen when they read of the launch ing of the United States newest and largest battleship, the Utah, at Camden, N. J., Thursday, on which occasion Sem ator Shoot pointed with pride to the coin- cidence that the launching should have taken place on the anniversary of the birth of the Mormon prophet, Joseph Smith. None of the clergymen objected to the date selected for the maiden dip of the big fighting machine, but they did think that Senator Smotts refer ence would stir up considerable com ment throughout the united States on account of the general opposition to Nor monism throughout the country. Just after Miss Mary Alice Spry of Salt Lake, daughter of the governor of Utah. broke the bottle of champagne against the bow If the ship, Senator Shoot turned to an assemblage of distinguished members of the Mormon church and asked:
 'Is it not happy. coincidence that this suspicious launching of great bat tleship named Utah should be made on the anniversary of the birth of Prophet Joseph Smith, who first led the Nor mons toward the state of that name?"
 At the navy department 1t was emphat- ically denied that the department had anything to do with the selection of the day or even that any knowledge was had of the coincidence before 1t was brought to the attention of the officials.

TALK OF DisPENsARY.
Anniston May Start Movement for Beer
 Saloons.

Anniston, December 25.-(Special.)- Seizing upon the great demand for liquor as evidenced by the rush at the Southern express office yesterday and the great amount of money sent out of the city for this commodity. men who were recently active in the fight against the proposed constitutional amendment have begun to renew their arguments in favor of a dispensary for Anniston and they will probably be seen at the next session of the leg'is- lature in connection with this demand.
 Before state wide or even county prohibition was enacted Judge H. D. McCarty led fight which gained con- siderable headway for the establish - ment of beer dispensary and should that propodtion came up again 1t is probable that 1t would command con- siderable strength in the city, all though the question of open saloons would receive practically no support at all here. Even @ dispensary would be fought by the prohibitionists, how ever. and as they are very strong in the city it would take great fight to win for the dispensary.
