tion, May Be Traced to Faulty
or Irregular Feeding.

Two kinds of scours affect young
calves, common scours. which are
caused by indigestion. and white
scours, or calf cholera,
Calf cholera is contagious, but IL q
calf gets the disease, 1t will occur a
few days after birth. II the pens are
kept clean there is not much danger
from this disease, usually. Stalls used
for calving purposes should be care
fully disinfected after a calf is born.
Common scours, which are caused
by indigestion. are much more com.
mon. The indigestion may be traced
to faulty methods Of feeding. the most
common Of which are: Overlooking,
cold milk. sour milk. irregular feeding,
dirty pals and dirty stables. When
a calf shows signs OF the scours, the
milk supply should be reduced one
half. and the amount gradually in
creased as the calf shows signs of
improvement. This usually will cure
them, but IL II does not, feed about a
tablespoonful OF soluble dried blood.
and stir in we'll with the milk. Dried
blood not only acts as tonic, but 1t
has some food value, and is often fed
even when the calves do not have the
scours.
II the calves have the scours very
bad. the formalin treatment is good.
Add onehalf ounce Of formalin to
Is ounces OF distilled water to make
the solution. Then add one teaspoon,
full OF this mixture to each pint of milk
that is fed. This method is very effoc,
tive.

MARTYNIA IS QUITE USEFUL
Uncommon Vegetable Has undeserv.
eddy Become unpopular-Excei-
ceIIent With Mixed Pickles.
CBy HUGO ERIcHsEN.)

(By HUGO ER1CHSENJ
In the mind OF the average gard
ener, be he urban, suburban or rural.
the culture of vegetables is associated
with drudgery which is in no wise
diverting. and yet, il one only deviates
from the beaten paths and is not
afraid to grow things that are decid-
eddy uncommon, as much fun can be
had in the kitchen garden as in
Fs1ra's domain. and NO little profit.
One of the uncommon vegetables I
have grown is the martynia.
The martynia, known to our fore
fathers as the martinoes. has unde-
servedly become unpopular. Perhaps
the disagreeable odor of it's gloxinia-
like flowers, and the peculiar shape
Of the hairy seed-pods that succeed
them had something to do with its
disfavor.
The latter are responsible for two
other designations of this vegetable
curiosity. for in England, where it is
grown extensively, it is known as the
unicorn plant and in Mexico. where
it grows wild, 1t is called the DEVILS
finger-nails.
The pods are produced in great
abundance and should be gathered
when less than half grown. as they
are worthless after the hardening of
their substance. They are picked in
vinegar like cucumbers and are very
useful in putting up mixed pickles.
The plants require considerable
warmth. therefore, the seed should

out finding something relating to
farming. In other words. agricultural
literature has broken into society and
is now the social lion.
In the third place the character OF
current agricultural literature has
had much to do with the present stu
alton. This literature Is immensely
more practical than that OF a genera
ton ago.
In recent years II has given espe.
cial attention to cases of highly sue
cessful farming which are to be
found scattered here and there all
over the country. and the impression
has become general that by the utili-
cation OF the information Cleaned by
scientists In their Investigations farm.
ing can be made highly profitable.
Furthermore. the man who has
made a distinct success on the farm
may now become national character
through the agricultural press. That
is, there is a chance for a man to
make a career on the farm.
The marked success OF few city
men who have undertaken farming
has also had an effect, and the adver-
tisement these men have received has
Influenced a great many city people.
In addition TO these influences. there
Is an inherited love OF the human race
for the natural. for the woods aud
fields and the prairies.
Some time ago the writer was driv-
ing with a party OF city people
through a beautiful wooded section of
Maryland, on a warm spring day,
when a gentle rain was falling The
leaves we're all washed clean aud
there was an odor OF the forest steam
ing up from the ground.
AS we rode along the whole party
was silent, every one looking OF into
the woods. Some one asked. why is

Another replied; 1T has not been
so very long since our ancestors lived
out there. That had been their home
since the time when they hung by
their tails from the branches II the
trees"
However true or false this erpiana-

ton may be, the fact remains that
we have an Unborn instinct which
makes the average man happy out in
an environment which nature has pro-
duced unalded.
Let us first consider those difficul.
ties which arise at the very beginning
of the transfer from the city to the
country.
The first of these has to 40 with the
real estate agent. The man who has
lived all his life l.. the city is no
judge of the agricultural value OF a
piece of land.
He does not know what is a fair
price for land under a given set OF
conditions, hence he is an easy mark
for real estate agent. and unfortu-
nately some men are engaged in this
business whose word cannot always
be trusted.
Hence a man who Is contemplating
radical move OF this kind should
study the matter until he understands
1t, and finally select land in a locality
where there are good markets. where
the soil has possibilities In 1t, and
where he can get piece of land at
its real market value.
The second great difficulty lies in
the city mans ignorance OF the prin.
ciples involved in farming. No other
sphere of human activity involves
knowledge OF so many principles as
does farming.
A few of the things a man has to
know before he can make a success
of farming are as follows: He must
know how to manage the soil: he
must know when 1t is In condition for
blowing and for the different tillage
operations; he must know the value
apd use of manure and fertilizers; he
uitst know how deep to cover differ.
ept kinds OF seed and the season for
different farm operations.
He must have a pretty general
knowledge of the types OF farming in
order to be able to select a type suit
able to his conditions. and there is a
great multitude OF them to choose
from.
He must know the amounta of capl-
tai required for given agricultural
undertaking; also the amount of labor
required. He must know what are the
best varieties of crops to be planted;
the season for planting and harvesting
these crops; the rate of seeding;
how much work stock is needed, and
how much of other kinds of livestock;
how much feed these animals will
consume.
One of the things which 1t is highly
important for the successful farmer to
know is what constitutes a fair days
work on the farm. II he is ignorant
of this he will be imposed upon by
many hired laborers he is so unfor-
tunate as to be compelled to employ.
In addition to knowing about the
soil. the capital and labor required.
the varieties of crops to grow. and de-
tails of growing them. he must under
stand the principles OF marketing
farm produce.
Fortunately the city man Is usually
better qualified for this part of farm
management than is the average farm
er because he knows more about con.
ditions in the cities. where he must
find his markets.

Start In Poultry.

The cheapest way OF getting started
in the business OF breeding fine poul-
try is to buy eggs and hatch them.
Ten or a dozen chicks are often pro-
duced from a sitting OF eggs. which
may be purchased for less than the
cost OF a single lrst-class fowl, and
any one OF the chicks is worth more
than the total outlay.

CDouglas International.

H. A.. Jastro, president of the Ma tional Livestock Association, arrived in Douglas yesterday evening, re- mained for the night as the guest Of his friend. B. A. Packard, and left this morning for Hereford, where he will spend tody, looking over his po- sessions there, he being the owenr of the Boquillas Land and Cattle Com pany, owning thousands of acres Of land in the San Pedro valley and thousands of cattle on the ranges in that section of Cochise county.
 Mir Jastro is on his way to his home at Bakersville, Cal, where he is the owner of large tracts of agr1cul- tural and pasture land. He came here from Denver, where he had been to meet with the directors of the National Livestock Association for the purpose of the next meeting Of the association, which will be held in that city. He stopped off on his way here to visit his cattle ranches in the Playas and Animas valleys in New Mexico. He is by far. the largest cattle owner in, the southwest, and, having been at the head of the Nation al Livestock Association for six con- of only one, he is regarded as the secutive terms, with an intermissioh

We were not entirely satis- fled with the tariff bill, but even there we were able to have retained the requirement for rigid inspection of all cattle coming into this country, a requirement. that will be beneficial to not only the cattlemen, but also to the general public. A matter that will call for our attention during the next congress will be that of trying to avert the burden of having the cat tlemen taxed for the payment of in- spectors, which have heretofore been paid by the government, a measure which has Deen proposed by some of the men in congress"
 MT. Jastro stated this morning that on the Boquillas range in this county there is a shortage of grass serious enough to make it necessary to make heavy shipments this fall. Three trainloads have already been sent to his California pastures and several other trainloads will go for ward in the near future.

KANSAS CITY CATTLE MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Dec. 8, 1913. Cattle receipts last week were 34,000 head, which was 11,000 head less than same week last year, though 4,000 more than in the previous week. Warm weather has been against meat consumption, but the moderate sup ply found a ready outlet at better prices, heavy steers selling with least gain, light steers 15 to 20 higher, cows and butcher grades 25 to 59 higher, stockers and feeders 15 to 25 higher. The sales of fat cattle at the International had an adverse influence on the heavy steer market. The supply to day is 14,000 head, and the market is steady to strong. Rains in Kansas last week brought in slime cattle today from wheat fields. steers weighing 1867 lbs. at $9.OO, highest price paid here for heavy steers in more than a month. Yearl- ings sold at S9. 15 last week, and some fancy heifers at S9. 25, but only specialists bring $9. % or more. Chi cago has been getting many well in ished steers and cuotes high dress ing animals at SS. 25 to $S.75. Veals advanced 50 cents last week, and at S10. .00 to S11 .00. A run of 62 cars of quarantine cattle, largely steers, is selling to day at $500 to S6.25. There is a better demand from the country for stockers and feeders than heretofore, good 1000 to l ,O5O feeders today at $7.00 to $7. 35 and good stock yearlings at $6. 35 to S7.OO. The drop in temperatures since Saturday is a help to the meat trade, and dealers expect the market to rule steady to firm for the next week or two, if receipts continue moderate.

very best authority on the cattle in- dustry in the country.
 ''Of one thing we may all feel sure,' said MT. Jastro, land that is that we will never again see a time in this country when cattle raisers will be selling yearlings for $7 or $8, as often in the past. believe that there may be some reduction in the present high prices for cattle, but the days of cheap beef in this coun- try are all in the past, and this ap- plies to every section of the United States. The taking off of the tariff on cattle will not and has not result ed in lowering the price of beef, and without this result this part of the tariff revision will bring no good re- suits.
 There is a scarcity of cattle in this country, and I can find no statis- tics in any of the foreign countries that give promise of any supply that would be required to lower prices to the consumer in this country.

ICE PLANT HERE ID BE COMPLETELY
 RENOVATED
Increased Capacity and Purer Pro- duct Will be Results-Four Months
 to Complete.

Work has begun toward a com plete renovation of the ice plant here, the plans calling for a renova- tion of all departments, to the end that the capacity, at present ten tons daily, will be increased to twenty tons methods that will make possible the manufacture of a purer product. The storage rooms for ice will be increased in capacity, and entirely reconstructed. All engines and boil CTS will be repaired and renovated, and an additional boiler installed. Also a radical change will be made in the ice making department, these changes being for the purpose of in creased capacity and greater purity of product. A force of about forty men, under the direction of T. NJ. Vaughn, superintendent of the plant, are now employed in the work of renovation, which will probably re- quire about four months for compile tion.
 The manufacture of ice at present is entirely ceased, and will be during the renovation. All ice now in Cliff ton is brought from outside points.
