TIME NOW TO SOW RAPE.

We are receiving inquiries about
rape, and as this is the season for
sowing to furnish grazing during
April and May. we again call atten-

hogs, sheep and other stock.
There Is no use planting rape on

terra through the shell, the eggs, by
the new process OF preservation, are
first disinfected and then immersed
in a vessel OF hot paraffin wax in
vacuum. The air In the shell Is
extract ed by the vacuum, and atmo-
spheric pressure is then allowed to
enter the vessel when the hot wax
Is pressed into the pores OF the shell
which thus dramatically seals It.
Evaporation Of the contents OF the
egg, which has a harmful effect, Is
thereby prevented, and the egg Is
practically sterile.

CORN-AND-COR MEAL

Several of the State experiment sta
tions find that corn and cob meal fed
to steers has an equal feeding value
of corn meal, counting the pounds in
cluded in the ground cobs, and that
by grinding the corn and cob meal to-
,gether from twelve to fourteen
pounds more food can be obtained
from a bushel of corn than is obtained
from bushel of corn when the corn
is shelled and used whole or shelled
and ground. A food cooker can be
used to great advantage in connec-
ton with feeding corn and cob meal
to hogs. If it is made into the form
of slop and then brought to the boil
ing point, after adding about one
pound of oil meal or tankage to every
twelve pounds of the grain mixture.
a very palatable food will result.
Such a mixture can be used once
day to very great advantage, and, in
deed, many successful men feed such
ration night and morning with
little dry corn at noon and get good
gains as a result.
With corn at high price this mat
ter of corn and cob meal is well worth
considering as a saving of corn and
many farmers are turning their at
tention to it.-1ndiana Farmer.

HILLSIDE LANDS.

There are thousands of acres of
hillside land that are not utilized, yet
the hillside is an excellent location
for an orchard. Some of the best or
: chards are on land that cannot be
plowed. Where the land can be
titled it is an advantage, but hillside
land will not only permit of fruit
growing, but can also be utilized for
sheep, especially the merinos, which
are hardy and active, foraging wher-
ever they can climb. Wherever por
ton of the farm is too hilly for cult
walton it can be given up to sheep

BENEFIT OF STOCK.

The real benefit derived from keep
Ing stock may always be traced to the
management. Good blood is essen
tial, but no animal can thrive that is
compelled to depend upon itself.
Pure-bred stock demands the best
care, but the same may also be said
Nof common stock The food is the
important factor in the production of
! meat or milk, but some animals can
make better use of food than others.
The farmers attention, however, is
necessary for all kinds of live stock,
if the animals are to give a profit

G. r. Putnam mentions the recent
discovery in Blue Hill Bay. Me, OF
pinnacle rock, only six feet in
diameter at its top. and projecting
within seven feet OF the surface OF
the water, which rises nearly eight
feet. The rock was discovered by
means Of a wire drag. Its existence
is mentioned as an example OF the

TEMPERATURE OF WATER.

We are often asked to name the
right temperature of the we'll water
when given to dairy cows. The an
4 swer to this question depends on the
cows, the manner of stabling that
they are receiving and whether the
water is given to them out OF doors
or in the barn. The warmth of the
stable and the feed that they are re-
ceiving would also in great measure
determine the temperature of the
water they should receive The deli
cate Jersey seems to relish warm
\ water. The COWS that are fed chiefly
N,n corn and other carbonaceous foods
relish cold water. While taking into
consideration all kinds of cattle, I'M
der all manner of conditions, we
know of no better temperature than
that of the water as it comes direct
from the we'll. Some dairymen claim
that their COWS always select their
water closest to the tank heater, and
consider this as evidence to prove
chat they relish warm water; while
other dairymen claim that cattle, like
human beings, relish their water cola.
Taking all kinds of cattle into con-
sideration with all kinds OF feeding
and all manner of stabling, it is in
!. deed impossible to give an exact tenn
perature to suit all conditions. How
ever. for the average cow under av-
erage conditions, we would say about
fifty degrees F. The more delicate
cows, under the most artificial con. con-
ditiofls, might do better with their
drinking water at higher temper
allure. On the other hand, the cows
mat are under the more natural con-
ditions, or, If you please, that are kept
nearer average conditions, might take
their water at an even lower temper
ature. Weekly Witness.

ROOM FOR SHEEP.

About eighteen to twenty inches

growing flock. Plenty of room at the
grain troughs should also be pro-

space Is necessary for each mature

irony he was still a sentimentalist. There was still much in him of the poet lad who had come up to Paris years before with his bundle of verses under his arm.
 But there was more than sentiment in the little comedy that he had enact ed tonight. There was a climax. as . he thought, to life tragedy-a trag- edy that even his intimates knew lit tie about, for after his first grand passion Jules Vavin had become a man extremely taciturn about his own personal affairs. He had been ready tonight to dc more than play with these two loves, and Dora Fullerton's happiness necessitated vigorous action But happily neither had really sus. pected the depth of the old mans sym. pathy and had lent themselves to his cunning in way that made him most happy.
 "A wonderful man indeed" he re peated as he stood in the moonlight and contemplated the glass of wine in his hand.
 The servant, who had been with him for twenty years. discreetly moved about the room putting out the lights
 "She Is very like her mother, Henrf,' '' said the old man.
 "Very like her mother, monsieur, was the faithful servitor's reply.
 The dramatist was silent for a mo- ment; then, raising his glass as one who drank to the heavens:
 "It is a droll God. Henri-a droll God with his vintage and autumn, his chil- dren and his harvest moon."
 "A droll God, monsieur" And Henri closed the door softly, leaving his mas ter alone with his thoughts and his memories-and his drOll God.

 "I am more than honored,' Vavin said, lowing to Aunt COrnelia and shaking hands with Dora, 'by this visit. I had wished to have a little talk with Miss Fullerton about her act ing and about herself"
 'I don't see, M. Vavin," said the spinster, 'why you cannot come with us and Dora to Mrs. Winthrop's and have your talk there"
