thousAndA an COW kind were Of the
same type, the same sizes; and, had
we known them. we should have
known them only as cattle; just as
we know the buffalo. the deer and the
elk Of today. 1t was not until man
undertook their demonstration that the
various breeds were formed, and a
system of evolution inaugu1ated which
has brought about the present great
vAliety and assortment Of breeds.
Breed type has been the result of
feeding, environment and selection for
definite purpose; thus. by the selec-
,tion of the best mixers and by proper
feeding. with suitable surroundings. it
has been possible to bring to their
present high state of development tho
different breeds Of dairy cattle: and.
while they are apparently fixed in
type and characteristics. there is moth
ing stable without tho ever-guiding
hand of man. The power of atavism,
that ever-present tendency to revert
to some remote ancestral trait, is
liable to crop out at any time; and.
IL animals are left to themselves retro
erosion would be fast and furious.
and the good work Of generations of
progressive breeders would soon be
lost sight of.

ALFALFA.

Alfalfa may be successfully raised on
almost any type of soil providing that
it is we'll drained. free Of weeds and
in a reasonable state of fertility.
= Good drainage must be provided.
The ground must be made free of
weed seeds.
Soils lacking in fertility should be
well MANFRED, as alfalfa requires large
amounts Of plant food. If SUFFICIENT
manure is not to be had. it should be
supplemented with a commercial fer
tilizer rich in phosphoric acid and
potash.
II the soil is sour. it must be lined
before alfalfa can do WE'LL
incubation of the soil will generally
be necessary.

KEEP THE MOTHER HEN IN A COOP
Chicks Largely Prevented By Ce~Ani,g H.

It is not good poultry management
b allow the mother hen to range I'M
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass and. as a re-
suit, some are chilled and die, espec-
tally the weaker ones which are likely
to be left behind. The loss of young
chicks which follows such a practice
Is large and mainly preventable. Fur
theremore, the food which brood
allowed to range with the hen obtains
goes very largely to keep up the heat
of the body and the chicks do not
make as good growth as they other
wise would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in coop. Any style of coop which
is dry, ventilated, and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats, and other animals. and
which. while confining the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out
freely after they are a few days old.

they require a pole or some similar
support Plant the seed during the
early summer. Several varieties OF
climbing bean may be planted in tn \
cornfeld and allowed to climb upols
the hills of corn. The old-fashioned
corn bean belongs to THIS type.
The Lima bean, both pole and bush.
forms one of the most desirable prod
ucts of the garden. This crop thrives
best when the soil is quite rich: in fact
good Lima beans can not be grown
in poor soil. They should not be
planted until the soil becomes thor
oughly warm. Place the seed in hills,
or 10 to the hill. and after the
plants become established thin to or
5. The hills should be 4 or feet
apart for the pole varieties and or 3
feet apart for the dwarf or bunch va
rieties. It is . good plan to make up;
the hill with little additional ma
nure we'll mixed with the soil. Cover
the beans about ~ inches, placing
them with the eye downward.

SCOUTSS IN LAMBS.

One Of the causes of scours in lam bs
is filthy water. We generally look for
the cause in the feed. but quite often it
is due to impure water. Everybody is
familiar with the distur bance in the
human family which follows the use
of bad water. The stomach of the
lamb and even the sheep, is quite as
susceptible to danger from this source
as is that of the shepherd. We often
see flocks on fairly good pastures, that
ought to do we'll so far as feed is
concerned, showing a lack of thrift and
a general dizziness for which there
seems to be, at first thought. no ap-
parent reason. Very often an exam
ination of the water supply will reveal
the cause.

While we here consider only the sire
| in the dairy herd. the same considera-
ton given him will apply to sires for
the improvement Of the quality and
prcductiveness of any Of our breeds
of live stock.
There seems to be a general apathy
or indifference on the part Of many
farmers as TO the quality and individ-
ual!:y Of the sres that they use with
which, to increase their flocks and
herds.
Little attention is paid to the blood
lines of the individual animal used as
sire; and. when / say blood lines 1
do not simply mean a tabulated pedi-
gree showing a long line of pure-bred
nothingness, but ! mean blood lines
handel down through long line OF
performing ancestry.
All our improved breeds Of stock
are artificial products: the products Of
environment and mans genius.
1t is not the nature of any COW to
produce the large quantities Of milk
which the modern dairy cow does, and
to keep 1t up for months: her natural
duty is to give sufficient milk to nour-
ish her young for few months each
year.
1t is not the original nature for the

Reans thrive best in a rather warm
sandy loan. but may be grown on al
most any kind of soil. For the best
results the soil should not be too rich
in nitrogerons matter. or the plants
expense OF the crop of pods. Heavy
clay soils are'not well adapted to bean
culture. owing to the tendency Of the
soil to bake and prevent the seedlings
from coming up evenly. The bean
does not draw heavily upon the soil
and is suitable for rotation with other
garden crops.
Beans will not witstand frost, and
the first paintings in the spring are
frequently lost in this manner. 1t is
very little trouble. however, to make
a planting of beans, and the first
planting should be made as soon as
the ground is reasonably warm; this
to be followed by a second and q
third planting at intervals of about a
week or ten days. 1t sometimes hap
pens that the first planting will be
killed by frost, and that the second
will come through the ground imme-
diately after the frost and mature sew
eral days ahead. of those planted to
replace the ones that were killed.
There are several classes Of edible
beans, including both clim bling and
bush sorts. all of which are valuable
as foods and Of great commercial I'M
portance. The various types and va
rieties Of beans are too numerous for
discussion here. land a few cultural
hints only will be given.
In the cultivation of beans, the gen
eral rules for the care Of garden crops
should be adhered to. and frequent
shallow stirring OF the soil practiced.
For a constant supply of bunch or
snap beans successive paintings should
be made. the final planting being made
about eight weeks before time for
frost in the autumn. In the South,
paintings should be made as soon as
the ground begins to warm, and con-
tinue until hot weather sets in. To-
ward the end Of summer one or two
paintings should be made for fall
crop.
For the production of bunch dry
beans, such az Red Kidney, White
