Not a Country for Police Brutality. The brutality of the treatment that the police deal out to suspected per- sons—subjecting them in nearly every American city to extreme in- sult and physical violence—is grossly un-American. The law of despotic countries is based upon suspicion— the disbelief of man in man. But the law of free states assumes the gener- al innocence and honesty of men. It holds men innocent until proved guil- ty. The whole abominable Russian “sweating” system in all its degrees should be driven out of this land.

An animal may be compelled to eat something that it does not desire, but it will not thrive. It is necessary, therefore, to observe their individual peculiarities and supply them with whatever they prefer. What may be a delicacy to one may be repugnant to another.— Epitomist. Fashion in Blood. Fashion in blood lines is continual- ly changing. By carefully studying the records and analyzing the blood lines of the, winners, students of the breeding problem and practical breeders can foresee the change ‘in fashion that is likely to occur. The breeder who can do so ‘and take ad- vantage of the coming change will reap the greatest advantage from it. The safer way for the average small breeder, however, is to breed in the best of those old, well-tested, success- ful producing lines that have béen most successful in producing speed with uniformity in the past.—Ameéri- can Cultivator. ; ® New Cow Feeding Tests. An experiment in feeding cows, which it is believed will be watched with keen interest by the dairymen of the State has been started with the college herd at the Connecticut agricultural college. The test will run for an indefinite period and will consist of feeding two separate ra- tions to two different groups of cows. One group will be fed a very narrow and the other a very wide ration, and the outcome of this experiment will determine whether high or low: feeding has any effect on the vigor, fertility or production of the dairy cow. It is hoped to have these ex- periments carried on for at least twenty years.—American Cultivator. Legs of a Draft Horse. The construction and set of the hind legs of a draft horse are of vital importance. A great many of the diseases to be found in these regions are largely due to the wrong set of the limbs. In a correctly con- structed hind limb, viewing it from the side, a line dropped from the hindermost point of the slope strike the top of the hock and continue par- allel with it until the pastern joint is reached. If the conformation of the leg be such that the lower part of the leg is thrown more under the body, thus making it more subject to a strain of a tendon or ligament just below the hock, it is termed “sickle hocked,” and it is very likely that it will become curby.—Weekly Witness. Potato Scab Control, The potato scab disease, says the Indiana Farmer, has been pretty thoroughly studied by potato special- ists. This well-known malady is the result of a fungus infestation which Its germs occur in great numbers on scabby smooth tubers. Much of the loss from scab is directly due to the use of infected seed. When the fungus is not present in the soil a clean crop is assured if clean seed is used. It is cheaper to abandon potato growing upon badly infected soil for a time than otherwise to combat the pest. Chemical disinfection of soil is not effective enough to warrant the cost. Seed potatoes can be effec- tively disinfected eitner ody soaking one and a half hours in a solution made by dissolving one ounce of cor- rosive sublimate in two gallons of "water; or by soaking two hours in a solution made by diluting. one-half pint of formalin with fifteen gallons of water. Insist on Stable Cleanliness. In the production of commercial milk the dairyman must not only keep himself and his own cows clean, but he must not draw the milk from the cow in a stable filled with dust. He never should feed hay before milking. He should not feed grain nor disturb the bedding before milk- ing. : I may get into an argument in re- gard to this statement, for there are those who claim that the stable should be cleaned before the milking I maintain is dome. not, for you know the more you disturb some things the worse tHzy smell. The dairyman must not feed silage be- fore he milks, for if contamination of the air of the stable occurs with the acid odor of silage the milk will cer- tainly be tainted. It may not be de- tected at once, but the city neighbor \ who attempts to use this milk when forty-eight hours old will certainly detect an unpleasant flavor.—John D. Nicholls. - Don’t Use the Ax. A complaint we often “Egg eating.” This also stopped. Some say “Use the ax.” ‘No, don’t! It is better to lose ten ‘minutes time than a dollar. Take 'an egg shell, fill it with pepper, our ter and a few of those things which ‘Mrs. Hen hates, and put it in the nest. When the hen tastes of its con- ‘tents she wonders whether or not she is eating an egg, or perhaps she has a funny taste in her mouth. She imay take another swallow. but to her disappointment, find that she has hear is, can be been stung sharper tnan before. She feels rather faint’ and quickly runs for the drinking fountain, Immed- iately she makes up her mind never more to eat eggs. Another way to put an end to “egg eating” is by col- lecting the eggs as soon as possible after they have been laid and putting nest eggs in their place. There are other ways of curing this .action which you may know, but think you will find my ways helpful. Try them, and see.—From Farmer's Home. Talk _to the Horse. Some man; unknown to the writer hereof, has; given to the world a say-| ing that sticks: “Talk to your cow as you would ‘to a lady.” There is ‘a world of -common “sense” in it. What! else is it but ‘the. language “of the Bible applied to animals: “A soft answer ‘turneth away wrath” A pleasant word to a horse in time of trouble has prevented many a di- saster where the horse has learned that pleasant words means a guar- anty that danger from punishment is not imminent. One morning a big muscular groom said to his employer; “I can’t exer- cise that horse any more. He will bolt and run at anything he sees.” The owner, a small man and ill at the time, asked that the horse be hooked up. = Stepping into the car- riage he drove a couple of miles, and then asked the groom to station along the road such objects as the horse was afraid of. This was done and the horse was driven by them quietly, back and forth, with loose lines slapping on his back. The whole secret was in a voice that in- spired confidence. The groom had been frightened at everything he saw that he supposed the horse would fear. The fear went to the horse like an electric message. Then came a punishing pull of the lines, with jerking and the whip. Talk to your horse as to your sweetheart.—Horse World. Ladybirds. Editor Indiana Farmer: Not long after noting what the edi- tor had to say concerning ladybirds (lady bugs) I happened to see some interesting tactics of one in our gar- den. There are several different species of ladybirds, one kind which the De- partment of Agriculture imported was for the purpose of destroying the San Jose and other scale insects, and the Year Book tells us of their behavior and propagation in Amer- ica, showing in half tones the screen cages they are kept in, for the pur- pose of watching them attack the San Jose scale; however they seem- ed to increase slowly, and for this reason were not altogether success- ful. - - The one I saw recently was much like the spices described by the De- partment; its shape was that of a hemisphere, or in other words, was the shape of a ball cut into halves; was jet black, with one orange yel- low spot on each wing shield (bee- tle, hard shelled). I am not an entomologist, yet I do pay some close attention at times to insects, for they are one of nature's forces which the farmers should un- derstand. My attention was drawn to this insect on the limb of a pear tree. I looked closer; it was hunting, hunt- ing on the same style of a bird dog —this way, then that way, I became interested, and noted it was hunting for scales, and when it came onto any little unheaval in the bark. which resembled a scale it stopped, care- fully examined it, then proceeded on its search, examined any and all places resembling a scale. I con- cluded to remove it and place it near a scurfy scale, but the little fellow became frightened and made a dash for liberty.—O. R. Abraham in the Indiana Farmer. Farm Notes. More pigs are underfed than are overfed. Give them salt often, also plenty of fresh tater daily. / * Don’t let the hogs have access to dirty or filthy water holes. Never use a scrub male and then expect a fine litter from a good sow. | Pigs that mature early are the ones for profit when well cared for. Wood charcoal, wood ashes and salt should be accessible at all times. Ground wheat and corn give better feeding results than ground wheat and rye. The profit in feeding young pigs is with those that are not stinted in their food. The greatest profit of the dairy consists in converting the by-prod- ucts into pork. Oats fed to sows during pregnancy, by sowing them broadcast on the ground, increase size of the unborn pig, also helping to keep the sow and litter in good condition. A large saving in the cost of rais- ing a hog may be accomplished by boiling all its food. A half-bushel of corn boiled will go as far again and fatten better than as much corn fed dry. If the table refuse can be added to the kettle it will be still better. of Figs and “wi laxative principles, obtained fr and the ‘W, name of pt — A — edge of Products are all of This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known tndefthe fame of —Syrup of Fig has “attained to world- elle acceptance as the most exc nt Family laxative. ~ As its pure ) om Senna, are well known to physicians and Vell Informed of the world to be the best we have adopted the more. elaborate name of —Syrup of Figs and : Elixir of Senna— as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of — Syrup of effects, always note, when purchasing the full the Company — California Fig Syrup Co. — printed whether you call for— Syrup of Figs —or by the full name— Syrup o Figs—and to get its beneficial on the front of every package, igs and Elixir of Senna. - U.S.A.
