A LETTER FROM TExAs.

am at leisure now. and viii
while away a few moments In drop
ping a line to the NEWS that may
excite some one to write me let
ter.
We have been having some verr
warm weather but the heat spell
was broken yesterday by quiet
gentle rain fall OF about one inch
to-day, Thursday we) have had q
nice gentle rain all day, putting tho
land in fine condition for seeding.
The greatest excitement just nov
is over this epidemic that seems to
be taking horses by the score, I
hope the moisture we are getting
now. will have favorable impress
sion on the disease. No one so fa-
seems to understand the pathology
of the disease, so the treatment Is
varied and far from successful
Seeding is the order OF the day
from those who have 10 sick horses
to care for. We have had very
good wheat and corn crop, but this
epidemic among the horses Is very
tiscouraging indeed | suppose We
ere too prosperous and not enough
thankful in Kansas
Now, would like to have good
man with some little means to take
hold of nice farm out here In
Kanses, a farm OF about $50 acres
where he can make good money y
he has the push. Until this year we
have had no railroad or shipping
facilities. but now the main line OF
the Santa Fe runs right by us,so we
have no excuse to offer for anything
| have 480 acres of the incest, rich
est land where good energetic man
can make some good money, that
will lease to some good reliable
man at very reasonable figure,
Here is an opportunity that no
one can afford to pass up lightly, as
i am conscientious in my state
ments. With a little energy and
push, man can make a good H.
tie sum of money in year or SO.
They raise good wheat, kaffir corn,
milo maize and cane. and 1t Is the
greatest broom corn country in the
world. wonder II some men will
make inquiry into this, or will they
pass Il up and say 1t is Kansas
wind. invite inspection and in
vestigation and can show you the
best proposition OF the eye.
Very respectfully submitted.

prepared circular that deals with
the feed and care OF Runners. also
the Matching of their eggs and the
feed and care of little ducks. This
is written from the results OF ex-
perience. We will gladly mail one
of these to anyone sending us 10
cents In stamps to cover cost of
mailing and printing.
We have sold thousands of these
ducks and not one person buying in
twenty-five has written us complain
Ing of their failing to lay well, but
on the other hand, we have hun
dreds oil letters from reliable pen-
pie who bought ducks from us prais-
ing them as great layers which we
think Is great record and proves
up that they are great egg machines
otherwise we would have received
hundreds of complaints. We will be
glad to hear from anyone not meet
ing with success with Runners, MS
we may be able to point out your
error in either feed or care, as Il

NOTES OF THE FARM.
Advantages of Barn Husking.

We begin husking corn in the
field as soon as 1t is dry enough In
the fall, and continue until enough
has been husked to start us on the
winter. The remainder is drawn u
the barn and husked out there dur
ing the winter.We employ this latter
method with increasing favor. and
each year finds us leaving large
amount for winter husking in the
barn. 1t is well. however, to do som;
husking in the fall during nice
weather, as this gives reserve In
both the fodder and husked corn
in case bad weather should delay
husk Lg for short period dur'aS
winter.
Though quite low in feeding vp:u=
we assign corn-fodder prominent
place in our winter feeding stuff
Highly carbonaceous, IL Is an econ
omic feed where wide nutritive
ration is desired, as with full-grown
male breeding animals or the scrub
team that is roughed through the
winter and requires only main
tenance ration. Where very succa-
lent feeds are used, corn-fodder us
roughage, adds consistency to the
manure, making 1t much easier to
handle. For these reasons we believe
corn-fodder well worth rigid meth
DDS of preservation.
Weathering from the time of cut
ting to that of husking greatly inn
pairs the fodder around the outside
of the corn-shock. When husked in
the field, this injured fodder is
mingled with that on the inside of
the shock and then set up In fod-
der-shock, where large amount OF
the bright, good fodder comes on
the outside of the shock, exposed to
the deleterious effects Of the wealth
er until hauled in. When the corn
shock Is drawn to the barn and
husked, this latter loss is obviated
When we husk in the barn, the
fodder is not bundled unless, as Is
seldom the case. we wish to hoist II
into the NOV, but is set up loosely
on the barn floor. II husked in the
field, this fodder would all have to
be bundled and the shocks tied, re-
quiring a considerable expenditure
for twine, besides the additional
labor.
Husking in the field, even with
the most painstaking methods,
means the loss Of considerable fod-
der through shattering OF the leaves
the part we most wish to preserve.
After several loads have been husk-
ed on right barn floor, the frag-
ments may be raked together and

INTEREST IN DAIRY FEEDING
Bulletin of Pennsylvania Experiment
Station Discusses Matter in
Most Thorough Manner.

To those of our readers who make
careful study of dairy feeding, bulle-
tin ia of the Pennsylvania expert
ment station will be very interesting.
The principles in dairy feeding are
gone into both in a theoretical and
practical manner. In a rough way the
following rules are laid down as good;
l. Feed grain in proportion TO milk
Yields: that is, give her, for example
one pound of grain mixture per day
for each three or four pounds OF milk
produced.
2. Feed all the roughage which the
COW will eat up clean, up TO the point
where she gains too much weight.
8. Whenever she becomes too fat re
duce the amount Of roughage, leaving
the amount of grain to be determined
by the milk yield.
Food requirements for COWS of diff
ferent weights and cows producing
different amounts Of milk are giveI
, In tables. Most of our readers vii
find the methods as described in tn
bulletin extremely unscientific, but al
ter they have studied it little the
will find it quite simple and, We be
lieve. quite practical. Of all the e'
periment stations the Pennsylyanl
has done the most scientific wor
. with feeding stock.-Pennsylvani
Experiment Station.

pltv the Chinese Student.

A new map of China was recently
nublished by German house which
undertakes to transcribe the chief
names in the exact forms which they
assume in the dialects of the respec-
tive provinces as well as the common
" accepted form. In this way the NJ
teen chief dialects are represented
saws the National Review. The COM
monty accented form is printed. in
dark green. the dialect forms in black.
Thus such unfamiliar forms appear
as Taetsiu for Taichow. Fupe for HUI
nei. Fulan for Human. Hokkiong for Flu
ken. Ssjutchon for Suchow, ETC.
other features which make the map
valuable are the thoroughness with
which 1t treats Mongolia and the Ko

regions which in most maps are lef'
