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

herd gave more and richer milk than

and be bought a Hue back. Its dam le-

strain of line back cattle was estab

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

one year.
Their type of cows being now estab

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.

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

forcing the obstacle toward the mouth.
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.
