We have found early cut clover hay

Glover to timothy hay and invariably
the yield Of milk would fall off.
Well cured clover hay comes nearer
to being a balanced food than any
other one crop We grow on our farms.

Ri eumatism is commonly caused by
allowing hogs 10 sleep in damp, filthy
and improperly ventilated quarters.
The system Of ventilat. on should be
such that there will be no direct cur
rents OF air striking the animals. The
sun should ave free access to the
houses at all times. This Will keep
the sleeping quarters in Il dry, sani-
tary condition.
When affected with rheumatism.
the an mails generally become un-
thrifty. and fail to make proper use
of their feed, the appetite becomes
dull which gives rise to the rough,
scraggy coat. Prevention Should be-
the first aim Of the owner, and to
accomplish this, the yards. pastures
and houses should be made dry and
clean. Damp bedding and cold floors
should be avoided. IL the hog house
has a cement floor, false wooden
floors should be provided, especially
in the sleeping apartment of the
building.
Other treatment is OF little avail If
comfortable sanitary quarters are not
provided.

THE ANTELOPE.

Eight head of antelope, which came
from the National herd in theYellow-
stone park. have been received at the
Wichita Game Refuge in the State of
Oklahoma. Though h generosity
of members of the Boone and Crockett
Club of New York, funds We're fur
nished for capturing and transporting
these animals from Wyoming to Okla

The pronghorned antelope is unlike
any other antelope on the face OF the
earth, and has SC many peculiar1t1eS
that naturalists class it in a family by
itself Formerly existing by thousands
on our open Western plains, 1t has
now been so reduced in numbers that
its absolute extinction is certa II in the
very near future unless protection IS
given the few remaining. 1t does not
do well east of the Mississippi river,
and cannot be successfully bred in
captivity; but it thriveS if allowed to
roam practically free within large en-
closures and under conditions closely
approaching the natural ones.
On the Wichita Game Refuge it is
hoped that the antelope will find
themselves IN surroundings suited to
their increase. The Wichita Is reilly

CONGRESS as q. National Game Refuge
because Of it's especial to
act as a breeding place for the wild
creatures Of the plains n lower
Rocky Mountain regions. Here the
Importance of the game work has
overshadowed tn. eordinary uses of a
National forest. There are owe $50
National forests, but only two Ma
ton Game Refugees.
This does not mean that outside Of
these refugees the game on the Ma
Itional forests is not protected, for the

larly appointed Deputy State Game
Wardens, and it is the policy Of the
Department to Agriculture to encOur-
age their act ng in this capacity when
ithey can d. SO without prejudice to
their work as forest officers.
Ordinary game matters pertain to
the States, and not to the National
Government, but in the Wichita and
the Grand Canyon Game Refuges the
Government has not left the matter
of caring for game protection wholly
to the States, but has established
National reservations OF which an
attempt will be made to breed game.
