LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The calves pens should be kept
clean. warm anc dry. and full OF fresh
air.
1t is a good plan to clean the hog
lots once each week during the sum-
mer.
As soon as possible get the mare
and colt out of the barn into the sun
light.
Charcoal is the great corrective of
acidity In the stomach Of man or
beast.
The amount of feed a calf should
have must be determined by the
feeder.
Keep things clean and you have ta-
healthy herd.
Place the hog pens a good distance
from the house. Odors from such pens
are not agreeable.
Not all farmers keep enough pigs
and other young animals for utilizing
home grown crops.
The young horse has many things
to learn. many more than the average
man ever thinks about.
A young horse well broken Is worth
from SIS to $40 more than a young
horse not broken to work.
A few animals of any kind kept
well will give greater satisfaction than
large number given poor care.
Horses will quickly acquire the
meaning Of many words, II pains be
taken to explain them by signs.
1t has been found that feeds contain
ing sugar are excellent when the mule
is being finished for the market.
For three or four weeks after fosl-
ing time the mare should be given
very little heat and fat forming
feeds.
Cleanliness in all things and at all
times is feature on which too much
stress cannot be laid II frst-class
butter is desired.
Some farmers never have enough
breeding animals on their farms be-
cause they are always in doubt as to
the Jcst time to buy or sell.
Animals dying from any form Of
anthrax disease should be promptly
buried deep in lie ground. much
better way is to cremate them.
II ID universally Sohctucu w Ill
men who have had experience in the
treatment of the diseases Of horses
that good nursing IS half the battle.
Driving a tired horse to town after
supper is one way to make. a young
horse old. They get old quick enough
without the abuse of too much work.
rne wise farmer who has breeding
animals will not part with them now
for market purposes. even when the
stock buyer offers long prices for
them.
The hog may be considered filthy
animal. yet there is not an animal on
the whole farm which will become
sick on account of dirt any quicker
than the hog.
The farmer who Is growing pigs as
side line to his mixed farming will
do well to keep only the number that
can be fed all they will eat fror' wean-
ing time till market.
The farmer should watch his cattle
closely and attempt to destroy every
louise possible. They are a great
hindrance 70 the cattle laying on
flesh. and should be exterminated as
soon as possible.
The ideal mule should have a clean.
graceful head. set on a medium long
neck. A knotty head and a thick.
short neck shows stubbornness and
laziness. 1t should Also lave a strong
shoulder and clean. firm leg.

T. II. Libby. president of the Wash
ington Conservation association. says
irrigation is the greatest of the
forces now In action for the conserva-
ton of our natural resources. and.
perhaps. the greatest of any yet to
be utilized. In the last six or seven
years irrigation has changed poor
sheep pastures into fruit land actually
selling at $500 to 1000 an acre with
out improvements. Right use of this
wealth is the true meaning of con-
servation OF natural resources. Right
use prohibits monopoly and prevents
waste. Right use of the forest cuts
the timber in its prime. saves the
young growth and protects 1t from
fires and overgrazing and stores the
flood waters for irrigation. power

perhaps at her very carriage window.
Her unconscious hand was doubled to
a fist upon her breast, fast closed
upon the sapphire.
With all her body braced, she
leaned and looked far backward, and
far forward, and now for a long time
saw nothing. The distance was empty.
| The glare Of arc-lights showed her
the shadows Of her own progress
the shadow of her vehicle shooting
huge and misshapen now on the cob
bles, now along a blank wall, wheels,
body and driver, all lurching like one;
now heaped on each other, now tenu-
ously drawn out, now twisting them
selves into shapes the mind could not
account for. For here, whirling the
corner, the carriage seemed to ave an
arm and now between the wheels, fast
twinkling, she saw a pair Of legs. She
leaned and looked, so mesmerized with
this grotesque appearance that 1t
scarcely troubled her that all the way
down the last long hill she knew 1t
must be that a man was running at
h~er'wheel.
The warm lights of her house were
just before her, offering succor, stiff
fleming courage. 1t would be but a

her own door. There was no second

He was back after a long minute, and

Sometimes his eyes followed the
cracks of the plastered wall, some
