WHEAT STRAW.
M Substitute For Hay— Beat W mr to
Handle For Beddlnf.
Wheat straw is the most extenslrely
used material for bidding tn American
farming. It la generally ÜBed extrava
gantly because under the system of
ordinary farming the supply of straw Is
usually far in excess of the actual
needs of the stables, writes a Country
Gentleman correspondent.
Scientifically wheat straw shows a
food value that should save It from be
ing wasted, and practically we who
have fed animals know It in often high
ly relished by them, even when they
are supposed to have as much other
more highly regarded foods as they
can eat and digest. A certain bulk ia
uecessary In the ration for stomach
distention purposes as well as to in
crease the working area of the more
nutritious foods, and clean, bright
straw can be used profitably for add
ing this bulk, securing It more cheaply
In the strnw than In the more expen
sive fodders. One can make a good cow
ration with ensilage and straw for the
roughage should there be a shortage of
hay or If hay could be sold at a price
above Its feeding value compared with
Its straw substitute to leave a profit
after adding protein concentrates to
supply what was withdrawn In the hay.
In actual practice 1 have made the sub
stitution of clean wheat straw for high
priced hay, increased my concentrated
portion of the ration and not only had
a profit from selling hay and buying
meal, but got more milk from the
change of food.
I do not mean that the farmer at
large shall cease using his straw for
bedding, for whatever feeding value
we may know It contains the fact re
mains that we have no material on the
farm that Is as cheap for bedding as
straw. But 1 do mean that we should
not use it so wastefully. Straw as it
comes from the thrasher 1b not a good
absorbent of liquids. Nature made it
strong, resistant and practically Indu
rated for Its and the seed's protection,
and until the straw is crushed or cut
or Its organism In some way broken It
takes up very little moisture, and as an
agent for the conservation of liquid ex
crement It is nearly useless. But let it
be run through the cutter so that it is
cut and haggled and crushed, and It is
no longer impervious to moisture.
When so prepared, half the quantity of
straw will produce better results both
In absorbing liquids and keeping the
animals clean than can be secured
when the long straw Is used.
Saved Her Child's Life.
"In three weeks our chubby little boy
was changed by Pneumonia almost to
a skeleton," writes Mrs. W. Watkins,
of Pleasant City, O. "A terrible cough
set in, that, in spite of a good doctor's
treatment for several weeks.grew worse
every day. We then used Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption, and
our darling was soon sound and well.
We are sure this grand medicine saved
his life.'' Millions know it's the only

The Effect of Droughts.
When drought destroys or reduces
crops, everybody pities the farmers on
the mistaken supposition that they are
the sole losers. As a matter of fact,
it Is the rest of the community that
suffer most from a crop shortage. In
many cases the farmers gain rather
than lose In the high prices they get
for the crops which they do harvest.
The longest droughts rarely affect all
crops disastrously. The recent drought
in the great corn belt did not affect
the wheat at all, except to insure Its
gathering In the best possible condi
tion. The unprecedented wheat crop
will command a ready sale at advanced
prices, because wheat must be substi
tuted In a limited degree for corn. The
corn that comes to maturity will com
mand a high price because of its com
parative scarcity. Hay, oats and pota
toes will all be high In price—have, In
fact, already advanced far above the
average price at this season of the year.
The consumers pay these advances all
along the line, and the farmers profit
by them. There are few American
farmers in this day who stake their en
tire year's prosperity upon the corn
crop. The up to date farmer puis his
eggs in a good many baskets. The up
setting of one of them doesn't leave
him without eggs to carry to market.—

CATALPA POSTS.
Dnrahlr. light. Take Vail* Kn«tly
and Hold Them HVII.
There it* something in the soil in this
locality that destroys a fencepost In a
very short time. I have seen good
white oak posts eaten off lu tive years;
in fact, they seem to last little, if any,
longer than elm or Cottonwood. Today
I took up a Catalpa speclosa post tive
inches in diameter which had been set
seven years and found that about halt
an Inch of the outside had l>eeu eateD
away, but the rest of it was as sound
as when it was set. The post had sea
soiled about a year before It was set
and to look at It one would suppose
that it would not last more than a year,
but today it looks as if It might stand
twice seven more years.
Six years ago I cut down a tree and
used it for a post in a cheap shed with
out seasoninK It, and in Ave years it
rotted about an Inch deep all around.
At the same ttm«» J cut another about
the same size, six inches through, and
used It as a dividinj? pole between two
■talln something over a year, then as
a temporary post something over a
year, and it has lain on the ground
exposed to the weather ever since, and
it Is i>erfectly sound yet.
Catalpa. when seasoned, is light and
almost as soft as seasoned cottonwood,
and to look at it one would think it of
very little value, especially for fence
posts. but experience and observation
have satisfied me that it is worth for
this purpose about four times as much
as white oak. It is strong, and when
seasoned nails can be driven into it as
easily as into cedar, and they will stay
In. I have never seen it tested with
Osage orange, but I am satisfied it will
last about as long when used for posts,
while it has a decided advantage over
Osage in the fact that nails can easily
be driven into it when seasoned, while
Osage will turn anything but a short,
thick, pointed stub and will very often
split where the nail is driven in. I feel
sure that it will pay any farmer tc
plant Catalpa speclosa for posts, poles
and all such purposes. It does not
grow any faster at the start than
Osage, but it soon outstrips the latter.
In planting catalpa one must plant
intelligently or he is sure to be disap
pointed. When set singly, it grows
crooked and almost scraggy, and it
will be years before it will make even
short posts. To make a good, upright
growth it must be planted in groves
and rather thickly. I have seen it
planted four feet apart in rows six
feet apart, and the growth was up
right and rapid while the trees were
young, and when properly thinned out
when they reached pole size those left
standing made a satisfactory growth
afterward, writes Fred Grundy in
Farm and Fireside.
Poultry Tost.
To find out whether poultry is tender
or otherwise pinch the skin. If it ad
heres to the flesh, the bird is tough; if
It leaves the flesh, it is tender.
The Skin.
The fatty material secreted by the
sebaceous glands of the skin may be
normal, excessive or deficient in quan
tity. When normal, the skin is supple,
but not greasy; when excessive, the
greasiness is apparent; when deficient,
the skin is dry.
The Barn Door.
A good many people wonder why
their sheep suffer from colds and
"snuffles" in spite of the good care tak
en to house them and protect them
from inclement weather, says National
Stockman. The trouble sometimes is
that the sheep are too carefully housed.
They are put. into a tight barn, their
bodies warm it up. and when they are
turned into the cold air or wind they
take cold. The main thing with sheep
Is to keep them dry, not warm, and es
pecially not warm and cold. the
door of the barn open if it is warm and
the sheep are to run out during the
cold weather. Cool air without drafts
Is better for them than warm nights
and cold days.
Crtmlied Corn.
Crashing corn seems to be satisfac
tory for calves, colts and all young cat
tle during the average season, particu
larly If they are being fed to the limit
says American Agriculturist. It is also
desirable at any season for dairy cows.
Corn and cob meal seem to be more sat
isfactory than cornmeal because of the
fact that the cob, while it has no nu
tritive value, has a favorable effect on
the animal's stomach. For steers two
years old and particularly for healthy
hogs It Is doubtful whether any prep
aration of grain feed is necessary other
than possibly the shelling of the corn
near the end of the fattening period.
Nerve Slevery.
it is present-day conditions— heaping
burdens of work upon the nervous system
that tell* the story—premature breaking up
of health.
It tells why so many men and women,
who so far as age in years is concerned,
should be in the prime of health, find them
selves letting goof the strength, the power,
the vitality they once possessed. It is be
cause that great motor power of the body,
nerve force, is impaired livery organ de
pends upon its controlling power just as
much as the engine depends upon the steam
to put it into action. An engine won't go
without steam. Neither will the heart, the
brain, the livor, the kidneys, the stomach
act right without their proper nerve force
supply. Let any organ be lacking in this
MMntlal and troubles begin—some of thtm

How to fry Cauliflower.
Soak the cauliflower, head down
ward, in cold salted water, then cook
until tender in boiling salted water;
separate flowerets, sprinkle wit pa
prika and lemon Juice and let stand sev
eral hours. Dry the flowerets on a
cloth, roll each piece in a beaten egg,
then in breadcrumbs and repeat this
process until all the parts are well cov
ered. Fry in deep fat, smoking hot,
and drain on soft paper. Serve on a
folded napkin. Pass with them tomato
sauce.
Grtrnlnntl Potatoes.
Potatoes iu Greenland never grow
larger than a marble.
How to Mnke Cnlf'» Foot Jelly.
To make this jelly cut and crack one
foot into small pieces and cover witb
three pints of cold water. I'ut on the
back of the stove and let It remain
there three hours after it has begun to
simmer. Skim at short intervals, and
at the expiration of three hours take
the soup from the fire and strain.
When it has become hard, remove the
sediment and fat Heat again, and
when about to boll stir in rapidly the
beaten white of one egg. Let the mix
ture boil for one minute, then remove
from the fire, and after It has cooled
for ten minutes strain into small molds.
The jelly will harden In two hours.
Ihc Good Sr»w».
The high price of pork should not be
i an inducement to any one to fatten a
i good brood sow this winter, says Amer
ican Agriculturist. If pork is high now,
it may be expected that good pigs will
jbe in demand next spring at good
i prices. When we say a good brood
! sow, we mean one that is prolific and
| of good form, one that is a good moth
er and raises good pigs. To do this she
' should not have less than six or seven
pigs at her first litter and give milk
enough to keep them growing until
they are weaned, and she should not
be cross or quarrelsome with them or
with those who take care of her, for
that is a fault that usually increases
with age in hoes and others.
