Study Your Cows.

In learning about the Individual
cows in your herd you are studying
a problem that is of much interest,
deeper and greater than simply look
ing at the animal. You are endeav.
oring to find out some of the hidden
forces Of nature that produce these
different results. Get acquainted with
your cows, individually. Get acquaint.
ed with their different wants, their
different tastes; and also find what re-
suits are obtained from the individual
cows. SO that you can treat them ac-
cording to their deserts. Some of
them deserve the very best of treat
ment because they are doing good ard
profitable work. Others should be
sent to the butcher, because they are
leeches on the good work of the
others.

Perpetual Motion,

One may well be sure that there is
no perpetual motion machine" For
this purpose machines have been con
structed from time i~mmemorial, but
nothing has ever come of it. Men have
gone mad on the subject, but without
any practical results. 1t was demon
strated long ago by Sir Isaac Newton
and De la Hire that perpetual motion
is impossible of attainment. Even the
solar system, the most wonderful ma
chine of which we have any knowl-
edge, will run down in the course of
time, some say in about 81, 600, 900 of
years from now.

FARMERS ARE
HARVESTING

New Castle county farmers have
begun cutting their wheat and by the
Fourth of July most of It will be
harvested and stored away in the
barns.
Reports from all sections of the
country are to the effect that the
yield OF wheat this year will be
about the average crop. Some wheat
fields show signs of rust and others
appear to be thin on the ground, but
the heads have filled well. and this
has always seemed to be the case in
this section, when there is a thin
stand of wheat, and the result has
usually been a yield but little less
than usual While perhaps the dry
weather has hurt the wheat to some
extent, yet the greatest injury will
be in short straw, and the loss COM
paratively small
The county's hay crop which at
the best would have been short, is rem
1 oered more so By the drought While
nearly all grass fields in this county
/ contain weeds, yet the farmers who
/ are fortunate enough to have had tim
! othy fields, had prospects Of a fair
amount of hay The dry weather will
have the effect of making the timo-
thy crop very short one. On nearly
every farm last year immense
amounts OF hay were gathered and
much old hay still remains in many
! barns. Because of this county farm
ers will, as a rule, be assured of suf-
ficent provender for their animals
when this years crop is added
There is hardly a single thing
growing in the ground in this county
which has not been affected by the
dry weather. The ground is baked in
places and cracked because OF itF
dryness, while vegetable life sort OF
hangs its head in its. need Of an in
spring shower.
Corn is being held back by the
dry weather. While it is yet to earl,
for the drought to do much damage
to the corn, in the sense that the croI
is injured, yet the damaged result
from holding it back, and rost dam
age in the fall probable. or throwing
into a fall drought.
The potato crop is also being re
tarded in growth by the dry spell. Il
this county this year considerable
acreage has been planted with pota
toes and a good crop was expected
The one thing to help the growing po
tatoes this year is the absence of bugs
due, many believe, to the frosts an
cool weather in May and early June

although they did not realize as wei
