TANNING UNRUlY BULLS.
Two Methods OF depressing Their
supersbundsnt Energy.

Two Methods OF depressing Their
superintendent Energy.
We suppose every one has a recipe
for the treatment Of these very trou.
blesome fellows, but IL will do no hurt
20 say something from our standpoint,
says Hoards Dairyman.
In the FIRST place, bulls get unruly
largely because of the superintendent
energy that is wrapped up In them.
They ought to be made TO work every
day on n tread power or in some other
way and get real tired. That will do
more TO repress their masculine rage"
than anything we know OF.
Second. II a young bull gets the no
ton In his head that he Is boss take
him out ON the meadow or where the
snow IL deep enough TO make fair
cushion and throw him with a double
loop n few times That will put more
sense Of his inferiority in the hands
OF man into his thick head than any
thing we ever tried. The double loop
Is made In the following manner:
Take half inch rope, say, twenty
feet long. Pass one end through the
nose ring. leaving about six feet In
front, theBce up between the horns.
Then pass the rope around the body
Just back OF the fore legs and make a
half hitch at the backbone, thence
back TO the hips. making another turn
around the body Just In front OF the
hind legs with a half hitch ut the back
bone and carry out the rope over tho
tail six or eight feet In the rear.
Let two men take hold OF the end In
front and two more on the rope in the
rear and give q stout pull together,
when down goes Mr.. Bull as II lie was
shot. Hold him down by the head n
few moments and let him up. Likely
enough he will make a lunge at the
men in front, but another slow pull
brings him TO his side with a bang.
Throw him two or three times in this
way, and II will take the conceit out
Of him wonderfully. You have not
struck him nor hurt him nor is his an
ger aroused. lie is simply nonplused
and completely beat at your power
over him
We have known OF several very can
tankerous bulls who were kept quite
decent by an occasional dose of the
double loop.

. INTENSIVE FARMING
Conducted by Frank Montgomery M s.,
Instructor in Animal Husbandry, and Special Inves


The soaking rains that fell the
first OF the week have put the
ground in good condition for fall
seeding. This Is al unusually good
time 10 SOW rye, and there should
be a large crop put in this fall. II
you had a field of oats this summer
and did not SOW IL to grass or clover
last spring, or II your seed did not
grow and you intend TO seed It to
grass this fall, why not raise a good
crop of rye while the grass is get
ting a start2
Rye is the hardest OF all grain
crops. 1t will grow well on land that
is too poor to raise corn profitabIy
and tends to improve the land rather
than impoverish It as corn does. II
field is planted to corn two or
more years in succession the ground
lies bare during the winter, is ex-
posed to the hard beating rains and
is much more liable to wash than
II covered by a growing crop. On
the other hand a good stand of rye
fills the soil with fib-ous roots that
prevent washing and the growth
above ground holds the snow and
protects the soil from winter expos
ure.
There are several ways in which
rye crop may be used profitably:
A number of our farmers find that
rye makes good hay, and they are
raising some every year for that
purpose. When used for hay 1t should
be cut when in bloom, for at this
time large part of the substance of
the mature plant is already in the
stem, but 1t has not yet become stiff
and brittle, and the boards are still
soft and harmless.
II 1t is left till ripe the grain
makes excellent feed for stock and
the straw still has some feed value,
but 1t can be used to better advant-
age to thatch hay or oats stacks. In
many places the grain is failed out
and the straw kept straight for use
in tying corn fodder into bundles.
II rye is plowed under in the lat
ter part of April 1t is nearly as good
as light coat of stable manure TO
enrich the ground for a crop of corn,
sorghum Or COW peas, and pays many
times over for the seed and time IL
takes TO put 1t in. 1t is not best
to let 1t grow too large before plow-
ing under, for it takes a great deal
of moisture from the ground, and, If
dry weather comes in May, the
ground may be too dry to start
the spring crop. 1t should not be al
lowed to grow moro than three feet
high before blowing under.
Rye being such a hardy plant, It
will grow slowly most of the winter
in this climate, and affords a large
amount of late fall and early spring
pasture. Everybody who keeps milk

cows is sorry when pasture dies down
In the fall and glad when 1t comes
again in the latter part of April. Rye
enables us to bridge over about two
months OF this period Of winter feed
ing, for II rye gets a good start in
the fall It will afford pasture clear
up to Christmas and again in the
spring by the middle OF March.
The old saying, "A good beginning
is half the battle" is just as true in
farming as anything else and
raising rye is no exception. II you
have oats, millet or cowpea ground
to put in rye 1t should be plowed up
deep with the breaking pillow and
each days blowing narrowed down
smooth before you leave the field
For by narrowing right after plow-
ing you can pulverize the ground
much easier, and the smooth pulver-
lied soil holds moisture far better
than II it is left rough and lumpy for
several days.
Just before sowing the seed the
disk or other harrow should be run
over the ground and IL you have a
grain drill the harrow should be fol-
lowed by the drag or roller. About
a bushel and q half of seed should be
sowed with the dill, and bushel
and three peck5 or two bushels broad
cast and narrowed in, because many
seed will not be covered with the
harrow.
II the seed Is to be sown in corn
ground, one must be guided largely
by the condition OF the ground. IL
II is mellow and free from weeds,
run thru with the harrow to break
down corn stubble and smooth the
ground, then follow with the drill.
II the ground is hard, go over It
with the disk harrow or cultivator
to loosen up the ground, then drill,
or broadcast and harrow in. II you
use the cultivator and grain drill,
the ground should be narrowed down
before drilling. Some times corn Is
late, and, in orde: to get a good
growth Of rye for late fall and early
spring pasture, one can SOW rye ear
ly in September between the corn
rows either with n one-horse drill
or broadcast and cover with a double
shovel cultivator. Some men hitch
horse to a moving machine wheel
and drag this thru after the culti-
vator to smooth the ground This is
good practice.
Rye is an excellent crop to SOW
grass and clover seed with, especi-
ally IL the clover is sown late IA
February to be covered by early
spring freezing and thawing. Of
course 1t could not be used for pas
ture II grass and clover are sown,
but can usually be sown safely rs
late as the middle of October for
this purpose.

Keep a good brood SOW as long

WORK on Otner PLANTS
A recent surprise TO entomologists IL
the finding OF pear thrips in New York
state. says a bulletin OF the state agri.
cultural experiment station. This in.
sect has been present in California in
destructive numbers for several years,
but II was unidentified In the east until
the spring Of 1911.
In 1910. when the loss from the
thrips was greatest, pear growers in
the region about Germantown, ". Y,
found their Kieffer crops reduced from
one-third to nlnc-tenths or even more.
The mature thrips Is n very minute
insect, only one-twentieth OF an inch
long. II Is dark brown In color, ap-
pearing almost black on casual view,
and bears four peculiar long. narrow.
feathery wings, which gave the thrips
fits old name, fringe wings" The
wings are simple, and each consists
merely OF n single strong rib bordered
by closely set long hairs.
These adults come from resting cells
in the soil. where they have spent the
winter. The date OF emergence varies
with the season, but is apparently
timed TO precede by few days the
swelling and opening of the pear buds.

municipal primaries. Gill received
nearly ten thousand votes more than
his nearest competitor, George F., Cot.

oppose him at the election in March
Thomas A. Parrish, business men S
candidate, ran close third and HUI
lett M. Wells, socialist, polled close
to ten thousand out of the total vote
which was in the neighborhood of 55
900. Gill campaigned under an "open
town" slogan and the result yesterday
is said to indicate his probable elec
tion over Cotterill in March.
With 221 of Psi precincts counted
the vote for mayor stood: Gill rs,

Wells 1850.
About 40 per cent of the 1902 re

estimate that women voted yesterday
in about the same proportion. In tn;
