I From American Clty.J era of civic beauty. This contest is as much in the Interest of material busi ness prosperity as In the interest of dlsflpured landscape. "The great body of the public is be ginning to appreciate that whatever makes for the beauty of the streets of city will also make for a greater power in all branches of business ac tivity." The billboard is frequently danger ous to health. It has been found In many cities that the spaces behind billboards have become unpleasant . nuisances since many careless people have used these spaces as a common dumping ground, where enormous amounts of filth have been deposited for the reason that such spaces are well screened from the streets. There is one very forcible objection to billboards, and that is the objection to them as, to use an expression coin ed by Dr. Eliot of Harvard, "uglifiers of landscape.' Now, the great objection to the erec tion and maintenance of billboards in the places suggested in the minds of many people is the fact that they dis figure the landscape, destroy the view, render commonplace otherwise won drons scenic beauty. But if there are found those who make but light of such objections and care not them selves for beautiful things in nature then there is that other objection which never yet has failed to bold in its grip the American people viz, the objection that such disfigurements destroy money values. What may be fairly claimed is the landscape in the country and the open paces in the city do not belong to the SAVING EWE LAMPS. Things ta Consider In Selecting (he Future Breeder, All realize that the ram Is half or more of every dock, and we know that as we avldom ever get a ewe or ram that hrcnls perfect Inntl we must rh.NVse a r.nu that Is a liljtu class fellow ami cskvIuII,v stroiic where our ewes seem delicleut, writes sheep grower lu the Iowa Homestead. In grading up a dock, however, I find but few ranis available at any price that can combine the high die mut ton form with clear, dense wool. It is because of this, therefore, that we must select our future breeding ewea w ith utmost care. It Is very necessary that we cliooe well, for wheu the ewe lambs are two years olj they will be part of the flock, and lu two yeurs more they will be the backbone and main breeders we kvk to for protlts. Klrst of all the ewea must be good milkers; then they must hare a dense, oily fleece that will protect them from the rough storms the farm ewe must endure. A deep milking mother Is the cheapest source of fat lambs, and for this reason I want a ewe first of all a gixni milker. So save the ewe lamb that will develop Into a gxvl milker, men cnoose one that shows by an open nostril, bright eye, full deep chest, a tendency toward god vitality and constitution. Choose the lamb that then springs wide and deep and long through the middle, with broad loin and wide sprung ribs. Carry these wide lines on out to the mnip by demanding a wide, broad, well moated rump on the best types. Now, If we have chosen for a milk ing type, suppose we consider the wool or the fleece that is to cover our fu ture breeders, Klrst of all, this fleece must be compact, dense, fine qualltr, oily fleece. It must le of this natnre because the ordinary farm ewe must brave many hard storms, and If her fleece does not protect ber well she wasting vitality. With the down breeds the wool will alwavs be com mercially of secondary Importance, but as long as we expect the fleece to pro tect our ewes we must breed medium length wool that Is dense, oily and that tightly wraj the sheep. I don't expect to endeavor to increase the weight of wool on my ewes so much by Increasing the length of staple as do by growing It denser on the body and of medium length. Endeavors to Increase weight of wool clip by In creasing length Invariably results In open, loose fleeces. Among the open. loose fleeces are where we find the pneumonia, colds, catarrh and loss of vitality. NEW AMERICAN BREED OF DAIRY CATTLE In the Improvement of dairy breeds by selection, environment, food, etc., for the iiNiitcr utility to the dally farmer, I wo characteristics should lie placed f.Hvm.wt. writes V, it.

The history of tilts new American breed -the Columbian-breeders of dairy cattle will do well to study closely and lenrn Ha les sons. About thirty years ago Anson Uregory was keeping a herd of native rattle on his farm in Ot.Hcg county, .V 1. lie not MM that one cow In his herd gave more and richer milk than the others. and lie raised her heifer calvea year after year. Mr. Gregory wanted a sire from a different lien! and be bought a Hue back. Its dam le- lng his neighbor's best cow, Mr. Greg ory' beat cow was bred to the line back bull for several years and a strain of line back cattle was estab lished. Mr. Gregory's two aims were now- grown to manhood, aud they took up aaVjfWjjpijaaji A new distinctive breed of Ameri can dairy rattle lias been named the Columbian. The bull shown herewith, Wtlre 8tanitlsh. la owned by F. L. Gregory, otwm county, N. Y . whose father originated the breed. Relief For Choking Cattle. The device for removing obstacles from the throats of cattle is the In vention of a Tort Townsend (Wash.) man. It Is intended to relieve the suf fering of an animal that has become choked by a potato, apple or some - f " ? I; '"j . 'Sffi f lifer the work of Improving their new breed of cattle by selection. They continued the work of Improvement by selection, feeding, etc, until they own ed animals with a record of consid erably over 600 pounds of butter lu one year. Their type of cows being now estab lished, three years ago the name Co lumbian was given these rattle nnder a charter from the state, aud the Co lumbian' Cattle breeders' association was organized with Ave members. The best and largest herd of Colum bians is now owned by C. O. Gregory and his father on the farm where the breed originated. Tbey have thirty three rows. Some of the Columbian cattle were exhibited at local fairs In New York this year, but very few of this new butter breed have been of fered for sale. The Columbiana so far have made good records as a butter breed of cat tle, and there seems to be good rea sons for believing tbey will take a permanent place among the standard dairy breeds.

Z IFrom American Clty.J man who chooses to pay a few dollars for them, but is an asset of the com munity at large, and one of these days the people of a commercial community will appreciate the fact that, to put it in terms of trade, beauty is a valuable asset as well as a "Joy forever." How offensive to the lover of beauty such advertising means wust be Is well Illustrated by something 1 chain ed to see only a little while ago. If you are near the head of Newfound lake, in Xew Hampshire, It may be that you will pause uear a turn in the ruad on the north shore at a place where you have the waters of the lake on your tight hand aud a huge overtowerlng hill on the left. Vou look across the waters of the lake ten miles and then up to the hills beyond upon a svene that is almost in comparable in its beauty, but if you change the angle of your vision a de gree your eyes meet the huge adver tisement of a Bristol druggist painted on the bare rock. Pew men cnu stand in such scenery unmoved, and as one turns from It to the unescapable advice on the rock one feels that such a per petration is not only a nuisance, but Jt Is on outrage on the public and In such a presence an lusult to the Cre ator. . -. .. ... , ,-.

Feeding the Horse. The experiment stations have been studying the horse as well as other domestic animals, and amoug their findings are some facts that seem contrary to the usual practices. In' proportion to the size of the animal the stomach of the horse is rather small, with an average capacity of about two gallons. If the horse is fed his grain first, then bay, followed by watering, the grain will be pushed out of the stomach before It is digested. The best way proves to be to give the horse water first, then some bay, fol lowed by the grain ration. In case the horse Is warm he should have a little water, but not all ho will drink until he has cooled off. Better Cows, Better Methods. If dairy farmers of the country only realised the gigantic Improvement they could make by Improving and grading up their herds thoy would revolution ize the dairy business. It is not more cows that we need, but fewer cows and better ones. With better cows and hotter methods the production of milk and butter could bo maintained at Its present point with less than two-thirds of the present number of cattle that ere In milk. Think of the saving this would make In labor alone. The sav tog In feed would not be small. Sheep Are Profitable. As farms become smuller and meth ods more Intensive It will be neces sary to secure higher prices for meat production and nnimul foods. Sheep are economical producers and can be handled profitably under intense con ditions of farming. Selection of the Brood Sow. Bows that come from prolific fami lies are more certain to Inherit those qualities and become good mothers than those that descend from families that are less prolific. HEAD OF THE FLOCK. Important Points to Consider In Se lecting the Ram. In selecting a ram two classes of breeding should be avoided the com mon scrub, that has no good charac teristics to fix, and the "pure breed scrub" without Individuality, whose purity of breeding only gives him greater power to work ruin In the flock. Good individuality, backed by several generations of good ancestry, will Insure prepotency with almost un failing certainty where the ewea are suitable and management correct Great attention should be paid to the ram's general contour. Ills structure should be firm and massive, with a broad, spacious breast, no dispropor tionate length of legs and well formed and fully developed quarters, esiieclnl ly the hindquarters. His loin should be stout and well knit his features bold, and a muscular neck is desirable. A bold and courageous eye and car riage are Indicative of spirit and vigor. His head should be long, but rather small and well molded. Isolate Sick Animals. Keep ailing stock In a place apart where you can give it especial care. In thla way you may save the sick end not run the risk of infecting the healthy. The Swineherd. Roots and oilmen! should have a place In the brood sow's ra tion. A good brood sow is always worth mucu more than the mar ket price of pork. Full aged sow produce better utters and are more auiet at far rowing time than those that are immature. The first month of a Dili's life determines in a Inree measure the profit with which It will be grown. It Is a wretched niece of busi ness to compel hogs to eat their i ' iooa m tne mua. A small feed ing floor will soon pay for Itself. Dried blood meal Is a valuable ration for hotrs. It not onlv mn. plies them with an abundance of protein, but acta as a regulator or digestion, Never buy a brood sow with short legs and short, chunkv body. She must have big feed ing capacity In order to produce plenty of milk.
