LOOKING to the Pedlnree.

Look at the pedigree of the stallion
you patronize, and if 1t is not issued
by one of the recognized registry as
sociations don't use that horse. Many
farmers will contend that a grade
horse that is a good locker is just as
good for sire as a pure-bred, and
expense is much lighter.
Some Of the handsomest, soundest
and most perfect horses are grades,
and, while they are splendid animals
for use, they are unsuitable to breed
to. Every grade has a yellow streak
in him, and this is just as likely to
show as his good qualities.

TRUTH ABOUT WALL STREET
PHILOSOPHER in Humorous journal
Tells of Things That Are and
That Might Have Been.

Out of the fusillade of ideas
brought on by the Wall street investi-
cations, something is sure to result.
Already the dawn is putting the fog
to rout. It is clear now that Wall
street had a number of very painful
things the matter with it, but totally
without being aware of the fact AS
soon as Wall street found that it was
in pain it was among the first to ask
for doctor. And the rest of us, as
the fog altitudinizes, know that all
OF the little fliers which we took in
stocks would have brought forth
handsome returns If only the stock
exchange had been incorporated or
if somebody hadn't washed a sale on
some other day except the regular
wash day. or if some person, in a mo-
ment of carelessness (it certainly
wasn't Intentionally, hadn't left
screw loose somewhere.
All that however, has passed, or
nearly passed. The time is nearing
when the most immature lamb can
walk boldly into any Wall street EN-
porium without a chaperon. There he
will be met by a specially selected
committee of affable and unselfish
brokers. After curling himself up in
the capacious depths of luxurious
leather lounge, he can lay his stake
at random, be it large or small, and
then he can dismiss it from his mind,
serene in the perfect gertrude that,
owing to the expurgating which Wall
street has been subjected to, nobody
can lose. and least of all the outsid-
ers. If there is any losing to be done,
the insiders will make sure it will fall
upon their own broad and brawny
shoulders.
And now, Gridley, if the ticker is
in working order, you may bring on
the milk and honey.-Life.

Glover BIoat.

Bloat in cattle generally comes as
the result of pasturing clover, though
it is a fact that in some cases ordi-
nary grass pasture will produce the
same results if it is rank when cattle
that have not been used to it are turn
ed in. The importance of getting cat
tie used to clover while 1t is dry can
not be overemphasiZed.
1t may be necessary in some in
stances to turn them in for an hour
or two only during the middle Of the
day and continue this for two or
three days, so that the ravenous edge
for the new clover is taken off their
appetites. Under no circumstances
should they be turned from a dry lot
when they are hungry into a clover

SUPPLEMENT TO A PASTURE
Feeding Corn Silaae Is Most Economi-
cal Method of Supplying Feed to
Help Out Pasture.
(By r. G wEATuERsToNEl

(By r. g. wEATHERSTONE)
Green crops fed as a supplement- tG
pasture may be fed in the pasture or
In the barn lot but as rule are fed
most economically in the barn. The
cows remain inside long enough at
milking time to eat their portions.
AS rule the most economical
method of supplying feed to help out
the short pastures of midsummer and
fall is to feed corn silage Silage will
keep in good condition for summer
feeding with no loss except on the
surface, If it is not needed during
the summer, 1t may be covered with
the new silage and kept until wanted.
Corn furnishes larger yield of dry
matter per acre than any crop that
can be ordinarily grown for summer
feeding, and has the further advan-
tage Of being on hand as early as
wanted.
1t is handled more economically also
than soiling crops since 1t is cut all
at once and not every day as is neces-
sary with soiling crops.
1t should be remembered that 1t is
only possible to feed a bunch of cows
economically when they are fed as
individuals and not as herd. A
too common practice, even in the
otherwise we'll conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
Of grain, regardless Of the time they
have been in milk or the quantity OF
milk the individual COWS are produc-
ing. Such feeding always lacks econ
omy, as the high producing cow does
not get enough, and while she may
milk very we'll for a time, she soon
comes down TO a lower level, while
the lighter producing COW usually
gets too much feed and accumulates

Good Bedding for Horses.

A good way to keep horse clean
in the stable is to clean out all dirt,
ETC., and then cover the floor about
three or four inches thick with dry
sawdust, as far back in stall as the
horse usually stands, then cover the
sawdust with straw, or bedding that
you may use. The sawdust will alb
sorb the moisture, and therefore
make the other bedding last longer
in case it is scarce. The sawdust
should be replaced by fresh occasion
