I notice In your Journal for June 28
ft rather dogmatic reaseertlon of the
old statement that shallow cultivation
, la th beat for corn. , I do Dot wish to
be dogmatic la any reaped, but may I
niak a plain abatement of experience
Thro year ago I .bad a. small
"patch" planted to corn, on ground to
Infested with quackgraaa that the en
tire slip turned by th plow In each
furrow waa felted maaa of roots, felt
ed almost as compactly aa an old hat
It required longer to harrow up enough
dirt to mark row la than It did to
plow the piece. The spring waa wet
with na, and the quack came up quick
er and grew faster than the com. At
and it Li fed on exceptional food, that
la, food which stimulates milk prodtuv
Hon. . The Instance la an ideal out
rather than a practical oue. It may b
used an Illustration, but hardly a
something to be worked for by the av
erage dairy farmer. The Importance of
good cows to make good milk, however,
la alt apparent. Recently th Stat
of Minnesota took the flrt prlsa aa to
butter. Minnesota, hard aa It la t
say, lias made more progress In tlx
dairy business than ha Iowa. Tht
farmer there have been longer In tint,
huglness of special dairy farming. In
Iowa It has not been made" special
business except la a few counties,
prominent among which are those of
Northeastern Iowa. The . Minnesota
farmers have succeeded better. It may
be, because they have greater difficul
ties to overcome, the land ami th cli
mate both being more harsh than tbey
are In Iowa. Iowa Stat Register,

order to worry and abak enough dirt
out of th quack roots to fill the hoe.
I waa taught, of old, that corn roots
pread widely and were Injured by

quack would kill tte corn. And th
only way to kill tbe quack waa to

keep tearing it op from the bottom, or preeenta themaelvea. An outfit

I kept at what I rather forlornly con
sidered "destructive cultivation," as

horse-bo teeth, and aa dose to the

Seven times I went over that patch

only one-tenth aa much in the latter

Dehors)!- Calvea,
I consider that the question of de
horning is settled In favor of no boms,
and believe the proper time to do the
job ia when the calf is less than a week
old. I nae caustic potash, which la
more effective than lunar caustic I
have tried the tatter and failed entire
ly to remove the born.
Buy S cents' worth of carat Ic potash
and keep tig try corked la a dry place
and when a calf la dropped and la a
few daya old clip the hair dose aroood
the little button where the born la de
veloped, then take a piece of tbe caus
tic from tbe bottle (re-cork at once or It
win dissolve from the moisture of the
air), wrap th piece removed with
cloth or leather, or nae gloves to pro
tect your fingers, hold the calfa bead
firmly so that he win not cause yon to
get tbe caustic in hi eyes, and after
moistening the caustic rub tbe bartons
with It until the tough skin is eaten
awsv and rubbed off and the blood be
gins to com. . Change from one aid
to the other frequently and keep the
caustic moist by dipping It In water oc
casionally. Apply over a place not
larger than a five-cent piece and be
sb re the horny button la eaten away
and yon will never aee a born again
there, and tbe poll wlU be perfect This
proceea will take five or six minute
and must be thoroughly done to avoid
failure. .

method because I frequently bear those

Th short seller of wheat hav but
a sin! argument left t$ "rrfr tlir
view, via: Th admitted faot that th
wheat crop of this country will be at
least 100,000,000 bnshala larger than
that of last year. Th current new
during the week hat been extremely
bullish and development hav materi
ally strengthened the position of apeo
ulative buyer. Probably th most im
portant annoncement waa Beerbohui'
atimat placing the European ahorttge
compared with last year at 894,000,000
bushels. This has been erophaaiaed
and confirmed by the active cash de
mand and enormous sale for export.
An additional aid in enhancing values
baa been tarnished by the farmer
stacking their wheat at a greater ex
tent than usual. Should the coal min
era strike continue a fortnight longer
it will prov a powerful, although uu
natural, factor in enhancing values,
and in all probability result in a mora
serious congestion of the market for
September delivery than haa prevailed
for July contract. Tbe promise ot an
abundant wheat orop In America. . th
alwenc of competition in supplying
the requirement of importiug coun
tries, and the oonsequent increased ex
port demand for American wheat, all
tend to benefit the American farmer.
Wheat will prove a profitable purchase
on all reactions and the general tend
ency is toward a still higher range of
value.
The American visible this week shows
decrease of 164,000 bushels, and now
totals 17,660,000 bushels againat 46
439,000 a year ago. There ia much to
be said regarding both side of the corn
market, but after all ia said it is at ill a
fact that values are extremely low due
to panio and overproduction. Th
growing orop ia not yet assured, and
with th enhancing valnea ruling for
wheat compared with producing years.
the increasing activity in general trade,
corn most participate to a greater or
lees extent in the general improvements.
according aa the crop promise to be
above or below that ot last year. In
any event, present valnea promise to be
well maintained, and there ia little
if any inducement for apecnlativ short
selling. Should th growing crop meet
with any mishap moch higher value

A Banplc Dalrr Cow. !
At the Texas Experiment Farm tbey
have a cow, "Yentje Netherland,"
which ought to be a Holsteln cow, '
from the name, which baa given 70T.5
pounds of milk In aeven consecutive
days, or more than 100 pounds of milk
a day. In thirty daya abe gave 2,6594
pounds of milk, or nearly 100 pounds s
day for thirty consecutive daya. When
yon think of 100 pounds yon have an
idea of tbe amount of milk given by
that remarkable cow. Another way to
think of It la to think of four big bock
iMfuIa, of three gallons each, and a '
ba If gallon over. Made Into butter the '
milk of one day mad four pounds and
soe and one-half ouncea of butter, con
taining 80 per cent, of butter fat. Of .
Bourse, tfcia la as exceptional animal,
j en a young animal to raise for himself,
j beto attend to it and be Induced to take
j an Interest in Its progress. He will tbua
' early become fond of animals and of
farming, and wlU be more reconciled
. to farm life when he is grown. Tbe
boy who leavea the farm for the city
la the one who baa never bad any op
portunities and look upon farming aa
drudgery. Labor becomes a pleasure
when there Is something to strive for,
and the early education of tbe boy on
tbe farm should be by giving him an
Interest In something. All children
love young stock and pet them.
Tbe only ob?ctton to a well-kept
hedge is that It takes quite a space of
the land which the root occupy. Cul
tivation may be done close to the
hedge, however, and weed prevented.
Hedge scire aa windbreaks, and. If
properly trimmed, are better than
fences. Osage orange require labor
every year, but it cannot be aurpassed
for protecting sheep from dog If It Is
In good order. Ordinary fences of wire
or boards are costly In some localities,
and require frequent repair. Sheep
wlU go through barbed wire fences, un
ices tbe wire are very close, but no
flock win attempt to get through a good

Pittsburg, Ang. 16 Injunctions by
th court have put a atop to marches by
th Kli'iUn s&iinst the New York
Cleveland Oaa Coal Company, for a
tim at least. But in th execution of
th injunction the sheriff and hit dep
uties narrowly escaped precipitating
serious trouble. Aa It waa, the first
blood of the strike was sImkI, llonry
Stewart, one of the alioriff'a deputies,
struck Jaoob Mott, a drummer of the
McDonald band, with the edits of a
brass horn, and cut a sever gaak abova
his eye.
Tho sight of the blood wrought up
th 1,000 idle minora to such a pituh
that a desperate ooiittictwaa imminent.
The deputies also were excited ami
noisy. The strikers were jeering and
yelling and urging a further rush.
There were enough ot the miners to
annihilate the deputies. Captain Bel
lingham, Sheriff Lowrcy, Chief Deputy
James liioharda and Superintendent
DeArmitt were the only cool men iu
th a'seinbluge. . To them and to Cap.
tain Bellingham belongs the urttdit ol
avoiding a riot. '
When Bellinghain saw there waa
danger ot his men getting beyond bis
control, he commanded a bait and ad-
dreeed himself to the tank of restraining
the more belligorent. 80 well were his
efforts directed that he soon bad re
stored oomparativ order.
Sheriff Lowrcy hail a difficult task to
perform, but he bandied it well, and
by his coolness and good nature, d.d
much to neutralise the bitterness and
strife invited by his subordinates.
Th strikers finally retired an 1 marched
hack to their camp. There were sev
eral other brnaliea with tho deputies,
but no aotual collisions.
After the miuers returned to camp,
the officers held a conference with
their attorney, and he advised them to i
quit marching until the court had
heard th argument over a bill iu
equity brought by the New York & I
Cleveland Uas Coal Company, a it
might injure their case if they were
brought up for contempt befur the
court.
President Dolan then issued order
that no more marches should be made
to any of the New York St Cleveland
Company's mines until further orders,
though marohe may he made at other
place. ;
There were no signs of trouble to
night. Tbe strikers remained within
their camp, and while the deputies
ware on guard they had little to du. In
order to more thoroughly fortify his
position, Sheriff Lorey swore in 80
additional deputies tonight, aud dis
patched them to Plum creek.

ported into Florida from Venextiela
some year ago and wits seriously im
pending navigation in the St. Johns
river, Is btdtig ki lied by small retl
spider. Tlii spider i said to im also
an importation from Venesucla and is
known as a deadly enemy to water
growth of this character. At Palatka
thousands ot acres of water front were
covered with this thick aoquatiu veg
tation and the situation waa becoming
0 serious that a stat com nuns loner
had been appointed to officially report
upon means for (ta destruction. It Is
now bnlieved that the retl spider will
clear tha river of the nuisance in one or
two years.
