PREVENTION OF

"Cornstalk disease" is not a myth. in

many farmers who have been fortu-
nate enough not to encounter it in
their experiences. writes a Nebraska
correspondent Of Farm Progress. 1t
is a very real thing to the man who
has lost few valuable young cattle
through turning them into a stalk
field.
Young cattle seem to be more liable
to dangerous attacks of this trouble
than the older ones. For some reason
or other they are more susceptible to
it, and it goes harder with them after

The Galloway is the oldest of the
pure breeds of cattle and is noted
for its hardness. The breed is ma
tive to southwest Scotland, where
the custom among farmers is to win
ter cattle in the open. They have
thus acquired those characteristics
Of hardness which adapt them to
farming conditions in America, es-
pecially in the northern and west
ern sections. In fact, experience
proves that the Galloway does bet
ter when wintered in the open than
when sheltered in barns. Among
beef breeds the Galloway holds high
rank.

Many hog growers like the Duroc-
Jersey breed because of its quick
growth and ability to lay on flesh.
1t is claimed for the Durocs that
they will put on more pounds for
equal amount of feed than other
breeds. They attain great size and
weight when properly fed and cared
for. The sows are prolific and good
mothers. While of the lard type,
they have large bone and are not
liable to disease. The Duroc-Jersey
sow shown is a good example of the
breed.

the witnesses We're all peasants who
could only speak Irish, and the pro-

an interpreter. Just before the trial
the prisoners brother approached a
leading barrister who knew Irish and
invited him to defend. The great man,
however, could not take the case, but
he said: Il have young friend who
knows Irish well and is an excellent
lawyer. He'll see that the interpreter
doesn't play any tricks. His name is

Old Coins Really Broken.

In the old days before copper coins
existed. Until the reign of Edward l.
the silver penny was the smallest
coin minted In England, to the great
inconvenience of the small purchaser

to some extent got over by the issue
of pennies indented with deep cross.
The coin could then be broken into
halfpennies and farthings. Our first
real copper coinage only dates from
1879, and until the time Of Edward vi.
