FARM NOTES.
—Texas station has successfully treated
lumpy-jawed cattle with iodide of potas-
sium given as a drench in water.
—To churn easily and make good butter,
milk should not be over thirty-six hours
old: Keeping milk too long and failing
. to salt the cows makes butter slow to come.
—Put the garden seeds in paper bags or
large envelopes and seal them carefully.
Paper will protect them against insects and
dampness, but care must be exercised in
having the bags made close and of heavy
paper. :
—The best kind of bedding for stock can
be provided with leaves. They prevent
draughts along the floor, and are easily
handled. Rake them as soon as they begin
to fall and store them under shelter for
winter use. :
—When the calf is three or four weeks
commence to feed it a little hay, for it will
develop its first stomach ; clover hay is the
best. Then force the calves rapidly all
summer by giving good pasturage, and
they will be in condition to be kept through
the winter without loss.
—Honey need not be left to ripen in the
combs, but it will ripen itself if left ex-
posed to the air in almost any kind of
vessel. All that is necessary isto put it
into an open vessel covered with wire cloth
or mosquito netting to keep out flies and
insects and let it ripen.
—Any farmer can afford to think twice,
says a herdsman, before he buys a bull.
Let him not think $50 a monstrous price
to pay for a young bull which he is quite
sure is to be a good one, and then turn
about and pay about three-fourth as much
for the veriest scrub. Why are many so
blind or so thoughtless ?
—To build and fill the ice house for home
dairy use is a cheap and simple task. Keep
in mind a few facts, says American Farmer.
Ice laid on edge will keep better than when
packed ‘on its side. Use but little sawdust
or other packing, but pack close, as a cir-
culation of air between the cakes of ice is
more destructive than direct heat.
—The goose is a grazer, and even along-
side of the sheep will utilize all kinds of
grass very closely, and will enable poor
land to earn a dividend. Geese can be
kept in large flocks profitably, so that
“specialty farming” in this line may be
conducted on quite a large scale. They
may be grown for less a pound than almost
any other meat upon the farm.
—In a test to see how much of any one
kind of feed a cow would eat in a day a
dairy herd at Texas station were -given all
they could consume of a single food. The
largest quantity of cotton seed meal eaten
by any one cow was fourteen pounds ; of
cornmeal, twenty-two pounds ; of corn-
meal and cotton seed meal mixed half and
half, twenty-eight pounds.
—The correct plan for general farming,
says an agriculturist, is to raise feed, and
the animals to eat it. After this raise any-
thing which a careful study of the markets
indicates can be sold at a profit. In this
latter department good, sound judgment
and all the information available is de-
manded. Every farmer who pursues this
system industriously and intelligently will
prosper.
—When one buys a rundown farm at a
low price he must expect to expend quite
a sum before the farm will begin to pay.
In the hands of an intelligent farmer such
a farm may be made first-class ina few
years, but the farmer who aims to make a
poor farm pay by taking crops from it
without any expenditure for plant food
will only make himself and the land poorer.
—Fruit is no luxury, but a necessary
part of the daily food, and, besides being
a very profitable crop for the market in the
fresh or preserved state, it certainly is to
the interest of every farmerto not only set
out an orchard, but to cultivate it as thor-
oughly as he does his cornfield. The or-
chard pays five-fold better than ordinary
farm crops, but it takes lots of brain work
and patience to reach this result.
—There is less demand every year for
the extra large over-fattened hogs that
have taken two years to reach maturity.
What is wanted for profitable feeding is a
thrifty pig thatin six or seven or eight
months growth will average a pound of
pork per day. This can usually be made
at a profit. The heavier hog costs more to
keep, and its pork is neither so good nor
will it now sell so well as pork that weighs
200 pounds or less per carcass.
—Concerning farm accounts a correspond-
ent of the Rural New Yorker says : Iam
convinced that there is not one farmer in
ten who keeps anykind of a record as to
cost of producing his products and their
selling price, together with other regular
systematic farm accounts. If farmers
could only be induced to keep a record of
their business as other men do there would
not be so many farming simply ‘to give
them a “‘steady job’’ and keep prices down
for those who are anxious to succeed in
this vocation.
—Scours in calves is the great drawback
in raising them. It is due mostly to in-
digestion, too much food being given or
food not suitable. When a calf is taken
from its dam while very young care should
be used in having the milk of the tem-
perature of that which is fresh from the
cow, and if the milk is skimmed a table-
spoonful of flaxseed meal should be cooked
as gruel and added to every quart of milk
allowed. At no time should the calf be
exposed to cold or dampness.
—Experiments made at the Geneva (N.
Y.,) station show that Leghorn fowls
produced eggs at less cost than Cochins, but
considering the cost of raising and the ulti-
mate value of the hens, the Cochins were
the more profitable. The Leghorns ate 2}
ounces of food (water free) per day and
the Cochins 3} ences. The cost of the food
for one year varied from 72 cents to $1, and
the value of the eggs varied from 84 cents
to $1.24. The Leghorns are small and the
Cochins are large fowls.
—The large mutton breeds of sheep are
gradually displacing the merino breed, and
farmers are finding out that there is some-
thing more to be derived from sheep than
wool. If low prices for wool have caused
farmers to turn their attention to the large
breeds the apparent misfortune will in the
future be looked upon as a blessing. ,The
English farmer would consider it a Waste
of time and labor to keep a flock of sheep
for wool only. The mutton sold in the
English market is of the highest quality,
and is produced on land that rents for
more than the same area of land can be
purchased for in this country, yet the Eng-
lish farmer regards sheep as very profitable.
Fy CYCLING HURTS THE BRAIN.
[
New Theory that Lack of Arm Exercise is Bad For
Gray Matter.
There is more trouble in store for women
who ride bicycles. The trouble is not a
new one, although it is only now that any
but the scientific mind has known of it. A
number of prominent New York physicians
are telling their patients about it in reply
to anxions questions.
In a word, the bicycle, while a great ex-
erciser, does very little toward exercising
the arms. Now the doctors have found
that the hands and arms have intimate re-
lation to the brain and that by disregard-
ing these members the brain cells are in-
jured.
Previous to the advent of the bicycle,
walking was recommended asa most bene-
ficial exercise. The man or woman who
took a ten mile walk each day considered
that he or she had not only accomplished
quite a feat, but had also taken all the
physical exercise necessary. ~
Then came the bicycle, and it at once
sprung into popular favor as a means of
healthful exercise. It was recommended
far and wide, and it accomplished its pur-
pose, in that it caused many persons to
take long rides in the open air who other-
wise would stay in the house or else take
their outing in a close carriage.
At first physicians were well satisfied
that their patients who were indisposed to
walk would consent to take long bicycle
rides. Then came certain symptons which
set the medicos to thinking.
This is what they learned: A person
who uses his hands and arms is much high-
er in the intellectual scale than the person
who uses his legs only.
Dr. Egbert Guernsey, the eminent home-
opathist, when seen, said that in his opinion
the use of the hands and arms has a more
intimate relation to the brain centres, espe-
cially those centres which are connected
with thought and motion, than the use of
the legs. And this idea is concurred in by
the greatest medical authorities of the
world. .
The development of one portion of the
human anatomy at the expense of any oth-
er has always been decried by teachers of
physical culture. Development of the
‘whole body is the aim of all systems of
physical culture, and this the bicycle fails
to accomplish.
Itis said by one medical writer: “A
man’s legs, or a woman’s, for that matter,
merely carry the higher centres to his or
her food work,and the arm user is a higher
animal than the leg user.”
The art of walking and riding a bicycle
is purely mechanical. Once the muscles of
the legs are set in motion the art of putting
one foot before the other, or of following
the revolution of the pedal and the balanc-
‘ing of the body, is purely automatic. The
use of the hands and arms has, say physi-
cians, a much more intimate relation to the
brain centres which are connected with
thought and motion than the use of the
legs ; hence, the use of the bicycle does not
develope the hands, the arms or the mind.
So the ‘‘cycling girl’’ who wishes to have
well-developed arms and a strong mind, as
well as well developed limbs, and who
rides with that end in view, as many do, is
laboring under a false impression.
Rice as Food.
It is Light, Easily Digested and Good for Delicate
Folks. :
a
There are few articles of food more
valuable than rice, and few that are more
economical to the housewife. Rice is ex-
tremely light and easy of digestion, and is
free from all acidity. Itis somewhat as-
tonishing that it is not more generally em-
ploycd as a separate dish, but, save in the
form of a pudding, rice is rarely employed
other than as an auxillary—with curry for |
intsance. The only precaution at all
necessary in the use of rice is to have it
thoroughly boiled, and it should, of course
be drained and dried on the stove just be-
fore being served, so that each grain is
separate. Rice isa very useful food for
elderly people and for children. As a med-
icine it may be employed with great ad-
vantage as an instringent, either as drink
or as food, in the form of rice-milk or
ground rice pudding. As an antacid for
heartburn or acidity, a little whole rice
chewed occasionally will often afford more
relief than soda, magnesia or chalk.
Has Dodged.
Let it at least, be said to the credit of
William J. Bryan that he has not trimmed,
dodged or sneaked in any of the issues of
the campaign. He has been straightfor-
ward in all his errors, and has never failed
to make his meaning and his purpose fully
understood. —Philadelphia Bulletin.
That is a deserved and manly tribute
from astalwart McKinley organ. We wish
we could as truthfully say as much for Mc-
Kinley. We cannot.
McKinley is a free silver candidate run-
ning on a gold platform. He speaks not
always what he thinks, not always as he
believes. He has ‘trimmed?’ and ‘‘dodged.”’
He says only what Mark Hanna, his bene-
factor, permits him to utter.
As men there is a marked difference be-
tween KcKinley and Bryan andthe differ-
ence is greatly to the credit of the latter.—
