Chamnion Bow Corn Grower

The prize for the best corn raised in
Michigan, shown at the National show
at Omaha, two years ago, was raised
by r. c. Rawlins. At the National Corn
show he won $50 cultivator as first
prize, and in the county contest re-
ceived SIS in prizes. This boy says he
became interested in corn culture by
watching one of the professors of the
agricultural college planting seed plot
of corn for one of his neighbors. He
says he gained a great deal of expe-
rience In that one lesson, and 1T helped
him to think more of his work on the
farm. In the year 1909 he raised Is
acres of corn and wheat, and his crops
were fine. In describing the good points
of an ear of corn, he says: The rows
must be straight and paired off, the
tip of the cob must be well covered ana
the butt covered all but about one
third"

ADVISED TO SIGN THE PLEDGE,

During the excessively hot weather In
Montana, farmers daughter carried a
jug of cool, spring water to the field
for the use of a farm hand who was
blowing in a small valley. She placed II
under a clump of bushes and returned
to the house When the hired man, who
had spent several hours in the village
the night bofere, in a drinking bout with
some friends, approached the jug of wa
ter, he discovered a large, black snake
coiled around it. AS he stopped down to
take a drink the snake made no at
tempt to. crawl away, but set up Wig
orous kissing. The hired man broke Tor
the house for help, and when he re-
turned the snake was gone. His theoE
is that the snake coiled itself around
the jug in order to cool off, but in spite
of his vigorous assertions, he has not
been able to convince the family that he
saw a real snake. .,Y~

EARLY MOLTING AND THE EGG BOX

nell experiment station IL was found
that on a basis OF 100 hens the fei flock
produced eggs to the value OF $2seI more
than by the starved flock.
The total income from all the birds
was S27S for the starved flock and $3.50
for the fed flock, a difference in favor
OF natural melting for the year Of about
$50.
A western poultryman Of long expert
ence gives his method Of controlling
moltingsas follows: -
AS soon as the hens are through lay
ing he turns them out on alfalfa, feeding
them dry bran only, in addition. Under
this treatment they get thin. Then he
feeds them a mixed ration OF grains and
meat, giving light feed in the morning
and all they Will eat at noon and night.
Under this treatment they finish mott
ing quickly, get new feathers and begin
laying in September. BY October / they
are all In good laying condition and
make a profit through the fall and
winter.

AN elephant that had escaped IRON
a circus while showing In a Kentucky
town. and was running away through
the country pursued by a crowd OF
men, suddenly ran across skunk while
crashing through a rail fence. Either
the appearance of the animal or Its
odor, which it supplied literally for the
occasion, frightened the elephant until
it lost all desire to escape, and seemed
inclined to seek the protection of its
keepers; at any rate it backed ur
against a tree and trumpeted shrilly,
and when the pursuers appeared it sub,
mitted to capture without protest. The
elephant was then chained to the tree
and sprayed with carboltc acid and
other disinfectants for two days before
the circus people would allow 1T to join
the snow.

Safe Food for the Little Ones

The delight of children is pastry,
cookies, cakes, doughnuts, and other
dainties, in many of which a cooking
fat is used. Lard is risky; it is simply
hog fat, sometimes impure, often indi-
gestible. To use butter is expensive and
often impracticable. However, Cotto-
lene-the pure vegetable-oil cooking fat
can be used in every way the same as
butter or lard; it makes light, digestible,
healthful food, and at less expense, too,
one-third less being required than of
either butter or lard. If you value the
health of your children, shorten their
food with Cottolene.

'oiA HAe AoW 10 ria d morse OF worms.
The rate of charge which should be
made in threshing peavines is a debat-
able matter. We have been asked as
much as one bushel out OF every seven
Where the outfit is a large one this
would seem a rather exorbitant rate
With "a small outfit It probably would
not be so excessive, as the chances are
you might not be able to thresh more
than 20 bushels per day, even where the
vines are fairly we'll loaded. With a
large threshing outfit probably 100 bushels
per day could be worked out. The rate
OF charge for threshing peavines would
be governed largely by the variety, the
amount of seed they contain, the size of
the thresher and the cost of the outfit
Worms may be destroyed in horses by
the following methods of procedure: Be

be fed, very sparingly,, for As hours. The
medicine should be- given on an empty
stomach, and after that byJa brisk purga-
tive to expel the worms ,Turpentine is
an excellent remedy, about two ounces
being dose for fair-siZed horse. The
turpentine should be diluted with milk
olive oil or cotton seed oil so it will not
blister the mouth or throat. 1t should
be given once daily for two or three
days, and FLOWED by a purgative, such as

SUGGESTIONS ON FATTENING HOGS.
A Correspondent, Rabun Gap, Ga,
writes: Will you kindly. send me
formula for fattening hogs on cotton
seed meal? Tell me also what is the
cheapest and quickest way to fatten
hogs,
Cotton seed meal can not be fed in
large quantities or for prolonged periods
of time to hogs without danger of pro-
ducing sickness and death. Where hogs
are fed on cotton seed meal, it should be
fermented from as to q, hours, and un-
der no circumstances should it consti-
tute more than one-fourth of the entire
grain ration. 1t is best combined with
corn or corn meal. Hogs receiving any
cotton seed meal should be allowed a
considerable range on which green feed
is available for grazing purposes. In
the autumn cowpease or soy beans might
answer very well; lin the winter and
spring some of the winter grown cereals,
such as oats and wheat, might be util-
lied. Rape should grow well in your
section of the state from spring seed
ing and make good green feed for hogs.
For fattening hogs in the quickest man
ner 1t is probably best to pen them
and feed a ration, consisting say of two
thirds shorts and one-third corn. Mix
together and feed in the form of thin
slop. If any milk be available the lat
tening process will be FASTENED. For
raising hogs cheaply throughout the
year, grazing crops should be used as
largely as possible, emphasis being laid on
the cultivation of the legumes, as they
furnish a large quantity of protein and
also considerable grain.

(By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 30.-On the de-
cision of Secretary of the Interior
Fisher to be given soon depends the
fate of a cherished project of the
Southern Pacific Railway Company
to build branch railroad line at the
possible sacrifice of the proposed
main line, which it is figured when
completed, will be the means of saw
ing millions of dollars to the rail-
road.
The opponents of the railroads in
the dispute, the Santa Fe and the
Southern Pacific, are the ranchers of
Florence, Arizona, and vicinity, who
propose to construct an immense dam
across the canon, which it is planned
will impound sufficient water to irri-
fate 10000 acres of now arid land. The
matter comes within the jurisdiction
of the department of the interior by
virtue of the fact that much of the
land in question is within the San
Carlos Indian reservation.

Chicago, H., Occt. 30.-President
Taft motored many miles through the
murk and gloom of a rainy day IN Chi
cago today to keep the series of en-
gagements that marked the end of his
longest visit to this city.
The President scorned to have the
top lifted on his automobile and with
head barred a greater part of the
time, he rode through the drizzle in
apparently very happy frame of
mind.
His first trip of the day was to
the stock yards, where he made a
brief address on scientific agriculture
at the National Dairy Show. The
President also viewed the livestock
exhibition. He said he was sorry that
Pauline Wayne, the famous White
House COW, was not present.
Mr.. Taft referred to Pauline as

Corner Stone Laying.
Next the president motored back
to town to lay the corner stone of
the new Hamilton GLIB building.
The club house is in the heart of the
business district and the streets in
its vicinity were blocked for an hour
or more.
Almost a Panic.
While the president was speaking
the crush of the great crowd
for better positions, started a gen.
eral forward movement which swept
aside the solid wall Of blue coats
that had stood between the crowd
and the speaking platform. The dis
order was SO great that Mr.. Taft
stopped speaking and the mounted
police were hurriedly summoned. At
sight of the men on horses the
throng quieted down and the cere-
monies proceeded.
