suffer considerable injury are those
lying alongside of unplowed stubble
fields or old WORKOUT pastures. AS
the insects hatch out from those
places they will naturally move on to
the adjoining grain fields and mead
ows.
1t may not be too late TO pillow a
strip of the stubble nearest to the
grain gradually widening this as rap
idly as possible till the field is plow-
ed. We have succeeded in saving
many grain fields in this manner even
though the blowing was not begun
till the Matching process was over.
Great numbers of the young insects
are turned under by the pillow, par
ticularly if the central strip of each
piece of land is left to be finished up
late in the evening when the insects
are not active. The catching of the
young insects as they are passing
from their Matching grounds is a
means of last resort and should not
be necessary when other and surer
methods for grassnopper destruction
have been applied

only by professional faddists, but also
by medical advisers, who. in many
cases, have their own reasons for do
ing SO. but who, as a general thing, be-
lteve that thorough mastication as

Now this latter notion is only half
truth. Thorough chewing will, un-
questionably, digest, or help to digest,
certain kinds Of food, but only GER
tain kinds. On other kinds it has no
digestive effect whatever.

Nature. in the machinery Of diges-
ton, has given US capital hint as to
how our food, animal and plant, should
be ingested. The mouth is provided
with juices that digest only starchy
foods; and the stomach Is provided
with juices that digest only animal
food. with the possible exception of
fat. This fatless animal food (called
protefds by chemists) is attacked by
the juice of the stomach, say rather
by certain substances in the gastric
juice (called ferments), principally
pepsin, and is made ready to be still
further acted upon by the Juice of the
pancreas, when it is turned over by
the stomach to the small intestine.
The pancreas, in fact, and not the
stomach, is the main organ of diges-
tion. With equal ease 1t digests ami
NAL food of every kind, including fat:
and likewise all the starchy foods
which have been only partly digested
In the mouth. The Germans signifi-
cantly call the pancreas the "abdom-
nal saliyary gland" Theoretically we
would do quite we'll without either
stomach or mouth. The famous Ger
man psychologist, Ludwig, reported
that two of his dogs lived for several
years in above-normal health with no
stomacEs at all.
The moral of all this would seem to
be: Chew well your starchy foods, If
your hobby inclines you to that prac-
tice, and you have the necessary time
to spare, but bolt your meat like
Rover.

BUILDING UP A DAIRY HERD
Begin With Native Cow and Select
Those That Suit Best, Is Advice
of Col. r. A. Wilkinson.

To start dairy herd begin with
the native COW, was the advice given
by COL R. A. Wilkinson, at the
Cavalier farmers institute. Select
those that suit you the best, that have
the type that you want and from those
breed up by using sire from some
one of the dairy breeds and then con
tinue to select sires from the same
breed and better yet from the same
family. The third cross will be as
good as the pure-bred for practical
purposes, but of course not for breed
ing.
Care and feed are important CON
siderations and that is one of the rea
sons that it is a good plan to start
with the native. Learn how by prac.
ticing on her, then as the breeding up
goes on the owner will increase his
knowledged of how to care for the
more delicate bred animal, which in
return for good care and feed will
give good return.
The colonel related his experience
with two native COWS that he had
kept close record Of These COWS had
had poor care before he came into
possession Of them in 1903. He be-
gan to care for them and to feed
them carefully. One of these cows
gave during the first four months of
her lactation period in 1908, 1881
pounds of milk. For the similar period
of 1909 she gave 3,181 and for 1910
4,267, an increase Of nearly so per
cent. The other COW during the first
two months of her lactation pr Rod in
1908 give LII pounds; for the sim.
liar period in 1909 1888 pound, and
in 1910, 1898 pounds, an increase of
20 per cent.
The cows were six years old at the
beginning of the experiment. Ibis

do with even the ordinary COW. lie

little bran. Eight to ten pounds oi
ground corn, ten to twelve pounds OF
alfalfa hay and what corn fodder they
want per day makes a balanced feed
for them. If clover is used instead of
the alfalfa then three or four pounds
OF bran is needed. II ensilage is to
be had. let thirty to thirty-five pounds
OF it take the place Of the corn and

The salivary juice will digest

certain kinds of plant food, such as
bread and potatoes; but it has not
the slightest effect on animal food

the economy of nature is concerned,
may be swallowed with little chewing
or bottled outright. A piece of pilot
bread-which is usually as hard as
granite-will rapidly be attacked and

remain in the mouth undigested for
