Useless to Force Food.
It is useless to force any kind of
food on an animal. 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. -

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.

A Lion Story for Rocsevelt.
A more remarkable story is by Sir
Charles Elliott, one of his majesty’s
commissioners of the protectorate,
who heard it “from the lips of an ex-
cellent man who appeared to believe
it himself and resented incredulity
in others.” Told briefly: this gentle-
man was marching up from the coast
with a caravan of laden donkeys,
which on one day made remarkable
speed with the exception of the hind-
most, who lagged behind in spite of
every inducement to keep up with his
companions. On arriving in camp,
the men were horrified to find that
the supposed donkey was a great
lion, which during the previous night
had killed and eaten a donkey, ears,
hoofs and all, and was so gorged and
torpid that he could scarcely move.
In the uncertain light of the dawn-
ing he had been saddled and laden
with the burden carried by his vie-
tim, and been driven along behind
the donkeys, who were so alarmed
that they kept ahead of their natural
enemy all day.—National Magazine.

Buchanan, who sought the presiden-
cy of the United States for 20 years,
and won it only after he had ceased
to care for it, when all his friends he
had hoped to reward were dead and
all the enemies he had marked for
punishment had become his friends.—
