PRIZE SERMON WAS DONE FOR
Presence of Policeman Took the At
tention of the Congregation From
the Words of the Pastor.

On a recent Sunday the pastor of a
New York church preached sermon
which he had hoped would be particu-
larly effective. Shortly after launching
upon his theme lie found that the au-
dience, while not creating any real
disturbance, was by no means atten-
tive. All Of his hearers kept turning
their heads every little while and
glancing furtively toward the rear of
the church. Finally the pastor cast a
penetrating glance of his own into
that vague region. He discerned a
policeman sitting in a pew near the
door. Il knew then" he said, when
speaking of the incident afterward,
that the prize sermon was done for,
so far as Its hold on my congregation
was concerned. The policeman had
their attention until the end of the
service. 1t is curious fact that no.
where does policeman create such a
sensation as in church. He may go
into a theater, a lecture room or po-
litical meeting and nobody except the
obstreperously inclined pays any at
tention to him; but just let him step
inside church, and he causes real
commotion. l don't know why. Ger
tainly nobody expects to be arrested
during the service"

VALUE OF SILAGE
AND CORN SLOWER
Interesting Tests Made at Me-
braska Experiment Station
in Cattle Feeding

(By H. r. SMITH, Animal Husbandman,
University Farm. ST. Paul. Mimi
While at the Nebraska experiment
station the writer conducted tests to
determine the relative value of silage
and shredded corn slower (stalks) for
cattle feeding. In order to determine
the amount of slower fed each steer, it
was necessary to husk the corn from
the stalk, and as the cattle were kept
in the barn, shredded slower was more
convenient although more expensive.
The use of bundle corn, however,
would greatly reduce the cost as it
can be harvested and shocked as cas-
lily as the ears alone can be husked
from the stalk and cribbed. During
the fall and early winter the use of
bundle-corn containing ears might
even prove more profitable than the
use of silage.
The further fact that this expert.
ment was conducted during the sum-
mer months without the use of grass
pasture, is evidence that calves can
make very satisfactory gains by using
corn silage and alfalfa as substitute
for grass.
In sections where enough grass can
not be grown to carry the number of
cattle wanted through the yeas, but
/ where a large tonnage of corn can be
/ grown on relatively small acreage.
the silo will become an important fac
tor for use in summer as well as in
| winter.

CAUSE OF THRUSH
IN HORSES FEET
Trouble Due Frequently by AMI
NAL Standing in Filthy Stall
and too Dry Floors.

fBy M. II. REYNOLDS. Veterinarian,
University Farm. st. Pau, &!nn.)
This trouble is due quite frequently
to standing in manure or other filth,
which alters the condition of the horn
and may be accompanied or followed
by infection. Long continued stand,
ing on very dry floors may lead dl.
rectly to this trouble. In some cases
thrush seems to be associated with
contraction. The frogs in horses feet
need exercise just the same as any
other part of the body. When horse
is shod with high heel and toe calks
or the wall is allowed to grow down
very long and the horse stands on a
board floor without getting frog pres
sure, the condition Of the frog is i'm
paired and 1t easily becomes subject
to infection and disease.
Such cases need u clean, dry STALL
The hoof should be properly trimmed;
the diseased parts removed as thor
oughlyN as possible; and strong dis
infectant used over the sole of the
foot Any of the coal-tar disinfectants
may be used in full strength, or even
pure earbolic acid, care being taken
that the disinfectant does not run
down the heel and burn the skin
After this first strong disinfectant
calomel is very satisfactory treat
ment for ordinary cases The calomel
can be busted over the diseased sur.
face and then some thick clay applied
over the entire sole of the foot.

TO BLOW COAL THROUGH TUBE

quantities of coal, reports in favor of
scheme to bring the coal from the
wharf to the electricity works by
blowing 1t through pipe. To enable
the coal to pass through the pipe
water would also have to be blown
through and the report declares that
the mixture of coal and water could
be forced through at velocity OF
about seven feet per second, about
five miles an hour.
Upon delivery at the electricity
works the coal would be allowed to
settle down in the tanks, when the
surplus water would be drawn off
and returned to the river. The cost
of the scheme is estimated at $4,000.

form of silage and roots to replace tha
June grasses-who shall say that
Bossy will not make ample returns In
the milk pail?
In nothing have most farmers SO
sinned against their herds, probably,
as in the inadequate shelter pro
vided them against winters cold
and the hot sun of summer Warm,
well-lighted and ventilated stables are
essential to high rate of production
A sanitary barn should have from four
to six square feet of window space fol-
each cow kept. Where COWS are kept
in the stalls much ,of the time, 1t Is
not unreasonable to say that the barn
should be light enough for one to read
in. Good ventilation Is essential; but
it should be so arranged that the cows
shall not be exposed to a draught.
While warmth without ventilation Is
conductive to disease, ventilation with
out heat Is a consumer OF feed" The
rage of temperature in the barn
should be kept between 40 and 60 de-
grees +. In summer, the shades
should be pulled down, lest the we'll
lighted barn become too warm. They
will also keep out the flies 1t Is we'll
to have gunny sacks hung in the door
way. so that. as the cow forces her
way through, the flies will be brushed
off her back.
Nowhere on the farm is cleanliness
more desirable than in the dairy barn
Stalls and calf-pens should be kept
free from filth and moisture. Plenty
of bedding should be used at all times,
and the pens cleaned out frequently.
If the calf pen is not a large one, 1t
should be cleaned out every day. In
the cutters, 1t Is well to use common
Stacked lime, or wood ashes. as an abb
sorbent.
Cows should not be kept in IAN ice
house, a hog pen or a dungeon" A
dark, damp and dirty place is very
favorable to the growth Of bacteria
which may attack the health of the
animals. Plenty of sunlight keeps the
place dry, purifies the air, and kills
bacteria.
When kept in the barn, cows should
be brushed daily, not only to keep the
dirt and hair from falling into the
milk pail, but to keep the pores of the
skin open. This makes the COW more
comfortable, and 1t cannot be too often
repeated that anything done to add to
the comfort of the COW adds to her
productiveness.
