entire year, the problem becomes acute,
says the Country Gentleman.
Continuous close cropping damages
the plants by root starvation, while
tramping Of the soil by the live stock,
especially when the soil is wet from
irrigation or rains, does further dam
age. The result is a rapid thinning
Of the stand. This allows Bermuda
grass and noxious weeds to gain a
foothold on the fields, the productivity
Of which rapidly decreases.
"To obviate these difficulties a s
TEN Of rotation pasturlng is being
adopted on Arizona farms," reports II.
W. Clothier Of the federal office of
farm management. "In this system
the alfalfa IS allowed to grow until
suffi GENTLY mature to make hay, and
then the animals are turned into the
field in sufficient numbers to harvest
the crop quickly.
Il have made a careful study Of sew
eral farms where this system appar-
entity has worked out to perfection.
One of these farms located neal Phoe-
nix, Ariz., was a dairy and stock farm
Of 100 acres, all In alfalfa. The alfalfa
was divided into eight fields Of twenty
acres each. All these fields were pas
tured more or less at different times.
"In pasturing, the dairy cows We're
turned into the field first. When they
had eaten the best Of the feed they We're
put into a new field and other stock
was turned into the first field to clean
up the feed left by the cows. When
the field was we'll cleaned up this sec

watered and not pastured again until
another crop had natured.
when a field was cut for hay the
crop vas put up with a hay loader and
the stock turned in to clean up the
waste hay. The field was then treated
In the same mi as the fields that
had been pastured.

Of which are dairy COWS, on his farm

CONTAGIOUS Abortion.

Contagious abortion is one of the
worst diseases that can get into a
herd. 1t is even worse than tubercu-
losis, says the Kansas Farmer. When
a COW aborts a good veterinarian
should be called at once There are
remedies that are said to be effective,
but prevention must be relied upon to
keep 1t from spreading. Too often
when a case occurs In a herd the owner
is tempted to conceal 1t, sometimes
even selling the affected COW to a
neighbor, thus spreading the disease
over a wider area. Affected cows are
often shipped to the central stockyards
and are reshipped to the country to in
nocent purchasers. In many instances
where this disease has gained a foot
hold 1t has been necessary for the man
to go out of the cattle business for a
year or two and start afresh. No
chances should be taken with an abort
Ing COW. Every case should b.. treated
as a case Of infectious abortion.

rs 5000, 900 Books In Our Libraries.

New York, Oct. 5.-There are $4,000
established libraries in the United
States, containing more than 75,OOO,-
600 volumes, according to statistics just
compiled by the United States bureau
of education. The number Of volumes
is an increase of 2O,OOO,OOO since 1908.
OF the 2,S40 libraries containing 5000
volumes or over 1874 are classified as
public and society libraries, and 1905
are school and college libraries. Pub
lie and society libraries have an aggre-
gate of over 5O,0O0,OOO volumes, with
100000 borrowers cards in force;
LAG of these libraries were entirely
free to the public.
Libraries reporting from 1000 to
5000 volumes numbered 5,4J3, of
which PISS We're public and society
libraries and 1866 school libraries.
These libraries contained II, GS9 ,942
volumes. Another group of still small
er libraries, comprising those that re-
i! ported from 300 to 1000 volumes, in
creased the total by 1901 ,OO7 volumes.
The distribution of library facilities
is still Uneven. OF the 1874 public
and society libraries reported for the
entire United States more than half
We're in the north Atlantic states, and
they contained 24.G27. 921 volumes out

Glover Roughage For Hogs.

A good winter roughage is secured
by stacking green clover with every
other layer of clean straw. Leave it
in the stack for two months, and then
feed to the hogs. An immense saving
can be made on the grain ration. The
animals like it and zen to he in better
health when fed this roughage. Cut
the clover when about ten inches high.
Cut In the morning and in the after
noon, after the dampness has dried off
and the leaves are wiltcd, stack it,
Glover when intended for hogs should
be cut at a immature stage than
when intended for other cattle.

We Could Assemble 100000 Men.

Washington, Oct. 5.-Much has been
said and written. since the European
war began, as to the military prepared
ness of the United States. Organiza-
lions whose purpose is to
preparedness and to urge more liberal
appropriations for the army and navy
have been organized in all parts of the
country. The army and the navy have
been thoroughly studied in recent
months, and the president is now busy
with their Problems; but what Of the
great civilian army, then, OF military
age between eighteen and forty-four
years, of whom, according to the re-
ports of the state acknowledgements on
file in Washington, there are nearly
100000? OF this number, as great
almost as the total of all the armies
now fighting In Europe, only sixty-one
hundredth Of one per cent, are in the
militia of the various states, which
mean that more than 1G,SOO.OOO are
men practically without military train
ing.
To get an idea of the situation some
Of the government reports on the. con-
dition of the militia will show some
startling figures. In more than a score
Of states there is no field artillery of
any sort and in the whole country
there are fewer than forty officers Of
ordnance. In thirty-five states there
are no organizations trained for coast
artillery, twenty-four have no cavalry,
a large majority are without signal
troops, while the total force Of organ
lied engineers, officers and men num-
bers less than 1900 for the entire coun-
try. One state, Nevada, is without mi
litia organization Of any kind.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-For the purpose
Of %"arousing the nation to the neces-
sity Of American maritime develop
ment,' an organization to be known as
the National Marine league is being
formed by James B. Forgan. president
Of the First National bank. Repre-
sentative business men Of the middle
west have been enlisted in the move
ment and are seeking to enroll the
leaders in the biggest commercial en-
terprises in the country.
Plans have been made to raise a cam
paign fund Of $125,OOO. 1t is proposed
that the central federal reserve bank
ing district be represented by $50 men,
bers. each of whom has been asked to
subscribe $3.50. Branch leagues are to
be organized in each Of the twelve
federal banking districts.
The invitation sent to business men
to join the league asks that the pro-
posed member laid in an effort to rec
tify the greatest handicap to the
growth Of the commerce of the coun-
try, the lack Of a merchant marine"
The announcement continues:
The league proposes to arouse the ma
ton to the necessity of American mari
time development, with the consequent
expansion of foreign trade as the greatest
factor in increasing the country's wealth.
Every one is to be taught that this ex-
pansion is a question of personal welfare,
as it is the only trade bringing new
money into the country.
The National league funds will be ex-
pended In popularizing the conviction of
the imperative necessity of an American
merchant marine to the end that there
shall be created a public demand for the
enactment by congress Of legislation that
will restore the American flag to a COM
handing place in the worlds shipping
and make possible this country's maritime
development.

! THINGS the Farmer Likes to Know
WHEN CULLING POULTRY.
Some Points Which May Prove VaIu-
able to You.

Some Points Which May Prove valu.
able to You.
Here are some points to remember
when culling: Gull out all those that
when through melting are noted to
be hanging around the roosting room
In the morning and all day long. Gull
out all with weak constitution, sickly
appearing. \ hen with pale colored
legs and worn toenails has been n
good layer and will be profitable for
at least another year. Keep her not
only as a layer, but as a breeder. Gull
out all early molters and send to the
market. The latest and quickest mott
ing hens are the best layers.
The best appearing individuals of the
flock in the fall have not been laying
anything worth while previous.
A constitutionally weak fowl is slow
and inactive; she has a so called crow
or pinched head; her plumage is rough
and does not possess natural gloss.
The shape of a weak fowl Is slender,
long jointed. Her eyes appear life
less and shrunken. with dropping lids.
\ fowl with a dropping and undevelop-
ed tail Is a weak specimen Gull out
everything that is not constitutionally
strong, active and contented. The
contented and singing hens are the
workers and are the only kind to house
over winter.
Sore eyes in chicks are sometimes
caused by a slight cold. In this case
spray with a fine mist sprayer filled
with a strong solution Of zenoleum.
At times the eyelids Of young chicks
become stuck together With a thick.
dark colored secretion. This condition
need no alarm because as a rule
1t Is not fatal, and the chicks recover
untreated. However, a very simple
and dependable remedy is to battle the
head in a weak solution q to 75) of
zenoleum or a solution q to 90 of
peroxide Of hydrogen.

worth two or three times as much.
They will make a profit of from $40 to
$50 per year at the pail and not milk
much over two-thirds Of the time,
while making nearly or quite as much
In the production Of beef. They are
more hardy and will thrive on a ration
that would return nothing whatever II
fed to the special purpose COWS. The
general run of farmers are the ones
that l believe will make the most
money out Of the dual purpose breeds.
10 most such farmers the advantage
of dairying at all is that it brings in
money every month. The pure beef
farmer gets his money only once a
year, or, if we consider the individual
animals, he only gets his money from
them once in about two and a half
years. He takes all of the risk for all
that time, and If he loses an animal 1t
Is all loss. On the other hand, the
farmer who sells milk is pretty sure
of some profit from his animals. If
there happens to be a mistit or an un-
productive animal of the dual purpose
class 1t is valuable for meat, while if
the same thing occurs with the special
purpose COW she Is not worth raising
or feeding.
There are those who believe that
there is no such breed as a dual pur-
pose breed and that such a breed has
to be developed before we can get it.
The Red Polls and certain strains of
%Shorthorns have been bred for milk
and beef for many generations, and
some of the finest producers in the
world are of those breeds, while al
most any individual of them will give
q heavy flow of milk for a shorter
period than the special dairy animals.
