a A. M., In Breeder Gssette, gives,
among seven very good reasons for ob
jection to dehorning, tb following
points: "That dehorned cattle are
more troublesome to keep, and wilder,
nil J will gain from 100 to 100 pounds
less undesr otherwise similar conditions
than those with boras left on; all of
. which of the above points he can sub
stantiate by actual experiment." The
blood starts from the center (the heart),
branches out, similar to tree, Into
little branches, surcharges every part
of the body with nutriment, and carries
the worn-out matter back, to be ex
pelled front the system through the
lungs, pores, kidneys, liver and alimen
tary tract, the circulation merging so
gradually through the capillaries as to ;
be Imperceptible where the arteries end
snd the veins begin., By mutilating the
circulating medium, the normal flow
of blood Is Interfered with, hampering
the process of 'waste and repair. The
forcible dvboralsig stops the ever com

The bad effects of drinking clear
water in large quantitiea when the
system Is exhausted by heavy work in
i hot weather may be prevented by put
ting a small quantity of sifted oatmeal
In the water before drinking it There
Is a great deal of nourishment In the
oatmeal, aud it furnishes something
for the stomach to work on that is
quickly digested and soon goes Into the
circulation. When we were bard at
work tn the hay or harvest field we
learned to prefer water with oatmeal In
It to the compounds of lemon juice with
water, which, while they were pleas
ing to the palate, did not give the sat
isfying feeling in the stomach that a
little oatmeal with water always gave.
This was long ago reconuuended as a
mid-day drink for horses hard at work,
and we have found it Just as good for
people. For a strengthening drink for
invalids oatmeal with water Is much
better than beef tea, whose nutritive

Hay should be hauled in when free
from dew; when hay rattles, it is fit to
put into the barn. Clover and timothy j

of the tree and then under the other.
To Jar the tree without Injuring It,
many saw off a small limb and strike
this projecting stump with a mallet;
others pad the mallet, with which the
sudden stroke is given without bruis
ing the bark. Where but few plum
trees are grown, the cheapest wsy Is to
coop fowls under each tree. Unless the
trees stand within a poultry yard hens

Good Cora Crop.
I think the corn crop one of the most
profitable boed crops on the farm, but
it needs good cultivation. Our method
of raising is this: We plow our ground
in the fall, green sward, and in the
spring we cart on a good coat of barn
yard manure. Then we spread, and
give k a inoFougn narrowing with a
spring tooth harrow. Then we work It
with a marker three and one-half feet
one way and three feet the other, and
cae about three hundred pounds super
phosphate to the acre In the bills. In
this way we have never failed to make
a good crop of corn, from 125 to 160
baskets to the acre. We follow the
com the next year wMh oats, aud tn
this way we have not failed to get a
good crop of grass. Grange Visitor.
Machinery 1 Farai Work.
Farm work is now everywhere done
with much less manual labor than
used to be the fact before labor-saving
machinery was invented. One man
will now do the labor of four or five,
nod will also generally do lit better.
Even if It were not so, the difficulty
In securing sufflcieot help would make
the machinery necessary. It is not
certain either that the better care giv
en improved implements on small East
ern farms does not make their use pay
as well as It does on the large farms
of the far West Almost all Eastern
farmers house their farm Implements
lvhen they are not tn use. Even the
praiu is not put under shelter at the
West, but Is rushed from the field to
elevators and stored there. The lack
of buildings to shelter Improved im
plements at the West makes their
w orking life much shorter than it ought
to be. Mirror and Farmer.
Working Kntter.
The shortest and best direction that
I can give is: Don't If by working
butter yon mean working out the but
termilk, then I say, don't take any
buttermilk out of the churn with the
butter. Wash the buttermilk out be
fore the butter is taken from the churn.
Stop churning as soon as the butter

Work la the Cornfield.
; Where there are fifteen to twenty
acres in corn and five acres or more In
potatoes, or beets. It will pay to have
a No. 1 sulky cultivator. The corn
can be worked early In the morning,
before the dew Is off the hay, or an ex
tra team can be put to work in the
barn. Widen out the frame so that
the shovels will thoroughly stir the soil
between the rows at the one passage.
Bnn the cultivator teeth shallow and
keep the ground mellow and free from
crusting over. V
1'nrabtlit? of Fence Posts.
Fence posts of the wooden kind have
least durability in sandy soil which
moisture and air alternately penetrate.
It might be supposed that very wet
soil, or where the posts stand in stag
nant water, would make them decay
more quickly. But In such positions
less air comes Id contact with the wood.
When set in the ground fence posts
usually decay first just where the post
enters the soil, as this has most changes
from wet to dry, and gires the sir
most chance to work on the wood.
Charring the surface of the post where
it enters the soli greatly increases its
durability.
Oettint Bid of Waeda.
I have found it necessary In grass
lands to pull or cut out such weeds as
dock, thistles and the like Just about
flowering time. Land in cultivated
crops can be' very easily cleared of
witch grass and thistles by the nse
of the manure fork. This method Is
very effective and more rapid than one
would Imagine. To reduce the ox-eye
daisy, actual experiment shows that
frequent plowing, heavy manuring and
seeding to grass wlU prove effective.
The heavy crop of grass can be cut be
fore the weed seeds mature. Agrtcul

Wheat of 6 cunts per bushel, bul the

sell out on the confident assertions that
the present week will sea a good begin
ning of the movement of new wheat

There is no indication that the de
mands from the milling interests will
be suffloiotit to head off any great quan
tity ot it as the flour trade Is appar
ently calling for lessened rather then
Inoreased prod uot ion. It therefore re
mains with the farmer to say whether
or not he will sell now or at some time
in the future. The developments of
tho last few days lead the trade to bo
liuve that there will be the usual lib
era! marketing of wheat almost direct
from the harvester. Looked at in the
broad sense, however, the wheat mar
ket is in a strong position the world
over, and the coming twelve months
should see a higher price level than the
last twelve. America should take a
more than usually prominent part in
the trade of the year, as the present crop
promises to be not only the finest qual
ity bnt relatively larger than that ot
any other country. The government
figures on production issued July 10,
are practically ignored ty ine trade.
They indicate a crop nearly 40,000,000
bushels less than the moat radical in
the trade will estimate. The weak
point in the report is the notoriously
inaccurate figures on area. No one in
the trade wilt seriously entertain the
proposition that Oklahoma hss but 300,
