In locating lameness in the horse
we should first understand the four
points occupied by the feet while
resting from sort of square, and in
a healthy ard correct condition each
leg performs an equal part in sup
porting the weight OF the body, thus
giving well balanced and smooth
regu ar movement and adjustment Of
leg and body when in action but if
one OF the members be in any way IA
yored by strain, soreness, or tender
ness, then this even balance In move
ment becomes deranged and the
greater proportion of weight thrown
off its weaker or favored member is
indicated by an irregular action of
the machine like structure. Notice
one particular leg when in health.
The movements do not vary or fail.
At rest 1t supports its portion throw
ing the weight upon the opposite
member 1t is easily returned to pos
ition without friction or break of
mechanical movement, each leg will
move with exact regularity of move
ment when there is no trouble with
them. Now If a changed condition
exists no matter how simple or slight
anything interferes with the cooper
ating parts. anything tending to OBJ
struct or defeat the perfectly natur-
al movement Of the legs, may be
looked upon as the cause OF lameness
and in diagnosing and treating lame
ness a great deal depends on know
ing the cause or origin OF the trou-
BILE.
In locating lameness we must not
confne our investigation to the
seemingly affected limb. It's oppos-
tie comes in for a share OF our atten-
ton. The action OF the leg in which
the laneress exists will show much
variation in movement from the same
action when in health and its neigh.
Dor will do likewise for when It takes
on the weight thrown to il by its sick
companion 1t too will change action
when resting on the ground elevation
forward movement and its return to
earth again. Lack of strength in the
one leg to support its share OF weight
throws a greater weight upon the
other. hence the lame leg will come
Iup quicker. be carried forward slow
ly and come to the ground carefully
and as lightly as possible. The
sound will rest longer on the ground
In the step. rise theoretically. move
forward quickly and come to the

simply because OF the necessary var

d, The Rutland county legislators rep
resent their constituents when they
vote unanimously against changing

the contrary there is a we'll grounded
opposition to attempts to remove an
cient landmarks or oblterate histor-
ical or geographical nomenclature at
every passing within. To dignity OF
ter Creek with the name Of river be-
cause perchance it is deep enough
for navigation at a certain point in
its picturesque route would be to
make ridiculous what now is recog-
nized by all as an eminently appropri-
ate designation. Otter Creek is
unique, characteristic, historical, fit
ting. No wonder the discussion of
the question made the members tired.

For Stained Fingers.

The days of preserving bring
stained fingers. Have you ever tried
using weak solution of oxalic acid
after preparing berries or discoloring
vegetables? 1t is quick stain re-
mover.
AS the acid is poison, label the
bottle and keep away from the chill
dren. Where stains are under finger
nails wrap a bit of absorbent cotton
on the end of an orangewood stick
and dip in the solution. For minor
stains lemon juice is helpful. Run
ends Of the fingers into a half-cut
lemon.
Tomatoes will also remove stains,
especially those of pairing potatoes or
other slight discolorations. A to-
mato is a whitener and softens the
hands.

What to Feed the Pigs.

With plenty of skim milk and
abundance of pasture the cheapest
and best pig feed is corn. The great
value of skim milk is to furnish pro-
tein and ash to build up the flesh and
bone Of the growing animal. Pasture
is also quite good in furnishing pro-
tein and ash. Besides protein and
ash, which would be supplied to ex-
cess in an exclusive skim milk and
pasture diet, the pigs want some food
out of which to get energy and form
fat. Corn will furnish energy and
form fat cheaper than any other food
in common use in the corn belt. We
would not buy the low-grade flour,
which is practically as good in fur
nishing energy and making fat as
corn, simply because it is much more
expensive. We would not buy mid
dlings or shorts, which are good to
supply protein and ash, since our
correspondents pigs already have
plenty of protein and ash in their
diet in skim milk and pasture.
Plenty of skim milk, corn and
abundant pasture is an excellent
ration for growing pigs. If we ran
out of corn we would buy more corn
in preference to flour, shorts or
middlings. -Wallace's Farmer.

Sewed Up a Negroes Heart.

Philadelphia, July 25.-The life of
Joseph Spence, a negro, probably
was saved last Tuesday when a knife
wound in his heart was stitched by
DR.. Francis T. Stewart at the Penn
sylvania Hospital. The patient was
etherized and then the operation be-
gan.
Doctor Stewart made an incision in
Spence's left side, pushed back. the
ribs far enough to permit the inser-
ton of the left hand, then, picking up
the beating heart of the man, the
physician placed it in the palm of his
left hand, while with his right he
rapidly stitched up the wound. The
stitches, five in all, were inserted be-
tween heart beats. One delay of a
second or a slight slip would have
meant instant death to the patient.
The fact that the heart was beating
slowly aided the physician materially
in his work.
After sewing up the wound Doctor
Stewart put the heart back in its
place, stitched up the incision in the
side and Spence was sent back to the
ward with good chance for recov-
cry.

Why Should We Use a Pure Bred
Dairy Bull?

This question will be answered as
briefly as possible: The ability to
produce large quantities of milk and
butter fat is a developed character
iStc. Before domestication, cows
gave only enough milk to raise their
calves until they could eat grass and
other heritage. When men domesti-
Gated the cow, he demanded more
milk for a longer time. He found by
selecting cows that had natural tend
ency to do this, that they dropped
several heifer calves of the same dis
position. Some Of the calves did not
show such a disposition, however.
Two fundamental breeding laws
are involved. One; like produces
like; the other: individuals tend to
differ from one another. A fine
mixer will not always drop heifers
as good as herself, but she will drop
more good mixers than will poor
mixer.
\ Another rule enters here: "The
bull is half the herd" This means
than half the blood in the young cows
and heifers comes from the bull. A
good bull inherits and transmits his
dams qualities with the same likeli-
hood that a heifer inherits her dams
qualities. This means that a bull
should have a good dam. He should
also have a good sire, and grand
dams and grand sires, and so on back.
His near relatives count most, how.
ever.
Pure bred bulls, with good pedi'
grees, are bulls that transmit the
milking characteristics to their off
spring. This has been brought about
by hundreds of years of selecting, ac'
cording to the rules given. Then
why a dairyman, or dairy farmer
use scrub or cross bred bulls, wher
he can get the benefit of hundreds o.
years of skillful breeding, by using
pure bred bull. And he can get gooC
young pure bred bulls of Jersey
Holstein, Guernsey or Ayrshire
breeds for from $25 to 500 according
to the age and pedigree.
If any Missouri farmer wants
good bull, the University of Missouri
Dairy Department will be glad to as
sist him in finding one. Breeder
should advertise their stock in tn,
good dairy papers. There is mark
ct for every bull calf that has goot
blood and is from a good dairy COW
The demand for good cows and heii
ers seems unlimited.

Missouri Growing Alfalfa.

The second crop of alfalfa hay be-
ing made about Warsaw ought to
convince any one of adaptability of
much of the land in the county for
alfalfa. Say the average farmer
should conclude to have 20 acres of
it, what nice shape he would be in for
feeding his cows and young stock.
Land that will produce fairly good
crop of alfalfa has value to the

Clover as Horse Feed.

The Experiment Stations have de-
monstrated by careful tests that good
clover hay as feed for fattening
horses is worth twice as much as
timothy. Clover being rich in pro.
tein serves as a balance" where
corn composes the grain ration, the
corn being rich in carbohydrates Cfat

Where oats compose the grain "a

very good advantage, but such a ra-

A New World Record.

It remained for the Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture at Columbia,
Missouri, to raise and develop the
Champion Dairy Cow of all the world.
Missouri Chief Josephine, a HolStein-
FrieSian COW, finished her six months
test on July 18th, producing l7,0OS.8
pounds, an average of 9S.4 pounds of
milk daily for 1872 days. This is
equivalent to 46.7 quarts, or ll.6
gallons every day. Her highest rec
ord for one day was ll0.2 pounds.
This record is the more remarkable
because no special preparation had
been made for this test and Josephine
has done ner full duty in the regular
dairy herd of the University, having
had five calves in five and one-half
years.
Not only has this record smashed
all previous worlds records for milk
production, but the per cent, of but
ter fat is increasing daily, so that,
barring accidents this COW will I'M
doubleday produce more butter dur
ing period of twelve months than
any other COW that has ever been
tested in the world.
This cow is but one of a number of
remarkable cows owned by the Uni
versity of Missouri and maintained
solely for the instruction of its stu
dents in Agriculture and for investi-
gational purposes, Only twenty Jer-
sey cows in the history of the world
have produced more than 200 pounds
of butter in one year. Five of these
COWS, Is per cent of the total number
are owned and were bred by this Mis-
souri, institution. The college owns
more than 800 pure bred and regis
tered animals, belonging to II dis
tinct breeds.
Josephine's record exceeds the
present world record for six months
by l,45S pounds.
