In handling poultry one should ho

and ihnpc of t l.o lot and luubt har

Is always best to l.avo'lho lawn In

planted In early autumn with crocus
bulbs, which will bloom early tho fol
lowing spring and lie out of bloom be

bulbs remain Indefinitely and multiply
rapidly, consequently are a pood in

row of flowering shrubs may be planted

graph. Growing Horseradish from Sets.
Whllo It is true that horseradish sots
as ordinarily used are from 4 to G
Inches long, experiments at the Cor
nell station show tnat It Is passible to
grow large and symmetrical roots from
sets only 1 Inch long. It Is also true
that sets 12 Inches long are sometimes
utwd. Whatever tue length of the s?t,
its top Is seldom placed more then 3
or 4 inches below the surface of the
gr&inJ. If the horseradish Is to be the
sole occupant of the ground, the plant
ing Is usually more shallow, the tops of
tho sets frequently being but slightly
covered with earth.
Good results can bo recured by plant
Ins the seta either vertlcel or slanting.
In some parts of Europe they are al
ways planted slanting, tho top end be
ing an Inch deep, and the lower end 3
or 4 Inches dcop. During the summer,
each plant la uncovered and all tho
small side rooty are rubbed off with a
woolen cloth. If any :arge roots havo
to he removed they ore cut ou and the
wounds coverrd with powdered char
tosl to prevent, decay. After Ibis oper
r.tlon tho :ill Is replaced about tho
plants, which nro then fillowed to grow
iiti(llBturb:l ttntll Iho end of tho season.
Whora (his method of culture Is prac
ticed, It Is customary to use nets 12
Indies long. As ordinarily grown In
America, horseradish rnotj are neither
uncovered nor pruned e'urlng growth,
though they aro frequently planted
obliquely. John W. Lloyd, In Ameri

Tht Early Lambs.
The early lamb Is one thr.t makes
the most rapid progress In growth, and
not the one tbnt Is or a eertuin ago.
Lambs of the Shropshire or Oxford
breeds will weigh about 12 pounds at
birth, and when three months old can
l e r.isdo to weigh 75 pounds with but
little difficulty. In nn cxprlmnt mnda
In Illlimls with twin lambs tho mnH
readied 101 pounds when 100 days old,
and the female 87 pounds, which shows
what Is at l"nst possible, thought not
often attained. A breed Intended for
producing meat, whother In the shape
of beef, pork, mutton or Iamb, should
be selected for that purpura exclusively.
Hreetio arp new neparated and classi
fied .fronting to their merits and rpc
eial ehnractPrlsih-3 for tho accomplish
ment of certain objects, and success
with any breed Is secured only when
thnt breed Is made to do duty In Its
particular line. When the early Iamb
Is mndo an object of prollt the brepd
chould bo one that excel") In tho rlze
nr.d r.inbllty of its growth from birth.
All ether ronlderntions, such as wool
prndmtlnn, adaptability to forage, etc.,
should he overlooked In order to give
the breed every privilege to excel In Its
special capielty; henco to get the
lambs In market early thry must he fed
and bred for that purpose, as a few
week's delay may lessen th profits
one-hr.lf. The same rule applies to oth
er clasps of sto k. To secure the best
results one must breed for them, for
the Iceed Is the foundation upon which
the enterprise is built. There Is no rulo
for feeding nil stock alike. The breed
thr.t 3 to produce after its kind must
be fed with a view to enable It to per
form Its part. To feed for fat when
growth Is desired, or to feed for growth
when product km Is sought demands
skill and a due regard to tho quality
and quantity of foods, but It Is the duty
of tho fRrmer to understand all such
matters and to educate himself to a
knowledge of tho characteristics of the
breeds and the quality of me foons
Dee'.essary to aid him In accomplishing
his objects. Philadelphia Record.
Value of Sklmmllk.
Nature hRs sren fit to mix tho skim
milk and cream, and because the law of
gravitation divides themorcentrlfugal
force separates them. Is no reason why
ve should class one part as tho good
nnd the other ns the bad. Nature has
mixed the fat and milk serum together,
making one of the best of foods. If we
take one part from this food we can
not expect to get tho De'st of results
without supplying at least a substitute.
It Is well known that milk scrum, or
sklmr.'.ill; contains the fe.od parts which
f.o to make miKied". bono and the vital
parts of tho youni? utiimr.l, while on
the other hand fnt is furnlsird an a
lubricant and as a heat-giving portion.
I will give briefly my method of rear
ing young calves on separator milk.
Starting with the calf nt birth, I allow
It to nurse Its dnr.i once or twice or
even longer. If In a weak condition.
An ordinary healthy cnlf I take away
from Its dam after the second nursing,
or say the day n.";cr birthday. In this
way tho young nnlmnl gois tho colos
trum milk, and nt tho same time gives
the herdsman an opportunity to deter
rr!n" whfher It is strong enough lo
wean or not. For tho first w:ek I fa"d
t'io eu.i its mothers milk, giving
light rations, say from thrja to five
piunda twice or three times a fiay If
tlio cnlf Is weak, for tho first two or
three days.
At tho end of tho firat werk I begin
adding a littlo separator milk, taking
a wcok to change from whole to sklm
mllk. During this period I begin add
ing tho ground flaxseed, putting in but
half a tcaspoonful und gradually In
creasing so thr.t when the calf Is ein tho
full Kklmmilk ration It Is receiving
about a tahlcnpconful at a feed. Somo
e-nlves will rot be able, to take thl3
much, and the feeder must use Judg
ment, as this feed is Inclined to be laxa
tive. During the third and fourth
weeks I endeavor to get the calf to cat
a 1 1 tt lo ground feed. This is easily
taught by sifting in tho grain from the
palm of the hand while the calf is suck
ing tha flr.t-ers. If the calf Is In a lit
tlo stanchion It will learn to cat ground
feed from one to two weeks etarller
than when allowed to run at large with
the other calves. I have found the ear
lier a cnlf tan bo taught to take ground
feed the h:tter.
As to the sklmmllk ration. It Is hard
to state Just how much a calf can prop
erly assimilate. Always remember tuat
It Is much eafer to underfeed than over
feed. Many calves have been killed
because of the belief that "there Is no
good In sklmmllk," as I have ofton
heard patrons at the creamery remark.
They fall to realize that the milk la
fiflly as strong as ever, with the excep
tion of the oil, which can be easily
replaced by some much cheaper feed.
To raise the test calves for either
dairy or meat production, It Is well to
feed sklmmllk for six or seven months,
Sklmmllk makes a most excellent ra
tion for young pigs, in which case It
will bo found that the sweoter and
fresher the milk the more valuable It
will be for feeding purposes. Young
chickens will thrive on sklmmllk, but
it must not be given In largo quantities.
K is better to mix It with meal or
some other food of that nature than
to feed It alone. It also makes a val
uable feed when coagulated. Professor

RUSHING MAIL IN THE EARLY
WE3T.
Locomotive Tender Loaded with Wood
In Fifteen Seconds.
Tho war between the Atchlfcn and
Burlington for tho mall haul between
Chicago and Kansas City recalls nn
event about tho middle of tho last
century that excited Interest from
oe-ean to ocean. The lino now used
by the Burlington from St. Joseph tc
Hannibal was completed in 1859, and
was known ns the Ilc.nr.llml and St.
Joseph railroad. Before the track
had time to get "solid" the managers
wero nnked if they could transport the
mall from the Mississippi to tne Mis
semrl river, and thcro connect with the
"Pony Express" In a certain fixed
time. They said they didn't know,
but that they'd die trying.
I I Coleman was yard master at
Macon. What he saw of the great
run against tlmo he describes thus
in the Kansas City Times:
"In these days all engines were
wood burners. On that day I was at
Macon City with my wood sawing out
fit There were about 2000 cords of
wood piled four ranks deep and eight
feet high on the railroad bank oppo
site the main street of the tewn. The
late E. F. Bennett, station agent,
handed me a telegram from the fuel
agent to wood the tender of the fast
mall engine In less than no time. I
got the exact measurement of a loco
motive tender and erected a plat
form to that height. I then put every
possible man that could find rinnding
room on the platform, each ono with
an arm full of selectejd wood. A large
crowd congregated to witness tho load
ing of the tender. Way down the
lino we saw the smoko rolling out of
the big balloor.liko slack, and a great
cheer went up from a thousand
threats.
" 'Yonder she comes! Ain't she a
cuttln it?'
"The cnglno camo In", steam hissing
from a dozen places and safety valve
snorting grandly. Tho woodmen
stepped over, emptied their arms, the
engineer whistled and te train was
off with a road nnd clatter. Tho stop
was Just 15 seconds by my watch. I
had Just had time to look Into tho car
and see tho occupants clutching their
seats with be.th hands to prevent be
ing spilled all over tho floor.
"The engine was the 'Missouri,' Ad
dlsein Clark, engineer. Tho conch was
then tho finest ono on the road. Men
bunting a smoking car would now
turn up their noses at It. The oiflclals
on board wore President Joshua Gen
try, who was 'elegant ly' attired In a
homemade suit of blue Jeans, and on
his coat were velvet cups; Supt. J. T.
K. Hayward, Assistant Superintendent
O. N. Cutler and Jack Harris, holding
the proud peisltion of conductor.
"I thought tho train would most
certainly bo ditched before reachins

An Oklahoma man once told an In
dian that a desperate white man was
after bis scalp. Ho smiled and shook
his head. "A few days later," con
tinues tho narrator, "we were talking
to the white man when the Indian
came up to Join tho group. He had
spotted the stranger and knew him
by sight. Without saying a word to
him he walked up within arm's reach
and struck tlio white man In the face
with a rough heavy glove. Ho paused
for a few seconds and hit him again
"Ugh!" he exclaimed as he wheeled
around and walked away. The white
man looked at the Indian in amaze
ment, but made no show of resent
ment. Later In the day when we
asked the Indian why he didn't follow
up the insult with blows he told ui
the white man was a coward. In ex
plaining how ho knew It he said the
man's "Jaw dropped" when he struck
Mm in the face the second time with
tho glove, and that this, with the In
dian was an unfailing sign of cow
ardice." Kansas City (Mo.) Journal
