Washington Star. Sawdutt at Fuel. Sawdust is turut-d into transportable fuel In GoraaiDy by a simple process, It la heated under high steam pressure until the resinous ingredients become sticky when it Is pressed luto bricks Value of Hemp. Hemp Is worth $100 a ton. Eigh teen million rounds Is used in a year in the United States, and of this we grow only 8.000-.000 to 9,000.000 pounds. Hemp produces a flue quality fibre. Quick-Growing Seed. A turnip seed increases Its own weight fifteen times in a minute. On peat grounds turnips have been found to Increase by growth 15,999 times the welrht of their seed each day they stood upon the soil. Pruning. In trimming trees the wound made by cutting off a limb close to the trunk will soon heal over, while the wound made by cutting off the limb two or three inches from the trunk leads to decay and sometimes causes the ultimate loss of the tree itself. When Horaes Are in Condition. A bright, clear eye, a brilliant coat, high spirit and mettle, are good signs of perfect condition in the horse. To this might be added sufficient flesh thoroughly to "round him out," but not enough to interfere in the slight est degree with his natural action, which on no account must be Impeded. I give water often, and so keep my horses free from bowel trouble cause by overdrinking." Wood Aihe. It Is seldom that a farmer can ao cucuulato a sufficient amount of wood ashes for a large field, but on farm where wxd Is used there is a limited supply which can be put to Kood use on the garden or on the young1 clover,. Ashes are excellent also on all grass lands and in orchards. They are ap plied broadcast, in any quantity de sired, as many as 100 bushels per acre having been used on certain soils. to The Family Horae In Winter. In winter it is worse than cruel neglect having your horse "rough' eU" when the roIiik is hard and slip pery. The danger lies not only la an actual fall but also In the straining o unusual muscles, which the poor brute is compelled to resort to In order to keep his footing. A horse thnt Is not sum of his footing becomes very ncrV' ous and restless and soon tires. The prospect of a fall throws him into a panic, for a horse dreads nothing so much as falling down. Suburban News. Nev, To Kill Wild Horses. A news telegram from Reno, says: 'Orders were received from the for estry department instructing the rang ers on the Toelvabe, the Toquluia and the Koultor reserves in Lander Coun ty to kill all wild horses found on the government domain. There are about 15,000 wild horses on the reserves. They are doing much damage to vegetation and at tracting domestic animals to their herds." Cure for Roup. A recommended roup cure for chick ens Is to take two parts sweet oil, one part gum camphor, one part turpen tine. To each ounce of this mixture add ten grains menthol and one tea spoonful Hsterine. Take a small drop syringe or oil can and put this remedy Into the roof of the mouth and in the nostrils twice a day. . Potato Scab. Formalin is claimed to be equal to corrosive ' sublimate in treating pota toes for scab, and it has the advant age of being non-poisonous. It is also said to be effective against smut One pound of formalin (about a pint) to fifty gallons of water is the proper proportion to use it. It is a commer cial article and no doubt w ill be large ly used next season. Peat In Montana. A large area of peat land has been found in Madison County, Montana. The owner of a farm In the peat re gion has experimented In drying the peat.aud samples .of the fuel dlstrlbut ed In Virginia City have met with much favor. The fuel will be prepar ed in large quantities and can be sold at a low figure. A coal famine, due to lack of cars, has been threatening the region and the discovery of so cheap and efficient a substitute just at this time is considered a godsend. A Balanced Ration. In the ration-fed farm animals eith er alfalfa or clover should be given to balance the corn. Either one of these legumes will likewise be needed to "balance" the effects of corn on the Boll. Considerable plant food, espe cially nitrogen, is removed from the soil by corn, while alfalfa or clover gathers a great deal of nitrogen from the air and places it back In the soil. Watering the! Horse. A successful horse raiser says: "I count the swallows my horses take while drinking a pailful. Some take larger swallows than others, but I know them all. If I am out on the road and come to a trough, I get out and count while my horse drinks, so that he will not take too much at; once. Value of Foretts. ' The value of a forest preserve with reference to the development of the water power is demonstrated by the following statement made by M. O. Leigh ton, chief hydrograpber of the United States Geological Survey. Mr. Leighton spoke In particular of the Southern Appalachian region. He de clared that a conservative estimate of the water power available In the region was at least 7.000,000 horse power; that one-hfth of this sold at an annual of $20 per horse-power would yield to the government, if a national preserve should be made of the region, the equivalent of 3 per cent Interest on a capital of $933,000, 000. The denudation of the hills of their forest covering, which he affirm ed, is ever on the increase, costs the government every year several mil ium dollars merely by the destruction wrought, besides the depreciation in land values. Land plaster Is not a fcrtlllrer, but will liberate potash, and shows a marked benefit on clay and tandy land to clover. There is no better time for setting trees than late In the fall. Many orcharding make a great mis take planting trees too deep. The best method to euro sore backs on horses Is to dissolve one-half ounce of blue vitrol In a pint of water and daub the Injured parts with It four or five times a day. Fertile eggB with strong vigorous germs can be obtained only from healthy stock well cared for. For fowla require plenty of exercise, san itary quarters and dean food, with pure water, some grit, vegetables and green cut bone or meat meals.

There will be no services at the Evangelical church next Sunday on account of the annual camp meeting which Is now in session at Jennings Lodge.
