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.

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. This annual gathering brings
a large number of the Evangelical
ministers together and a great many
lay members find pleasure and profit
camping there with their families.
Rev. Noah Shupp and a large number
of the Milwaukee congregation are
camping on the grounds.
The work on the new addition to tho
school house Is now in shape so that
we can see how the structure will
look when completed. A new cement
Boor has been laid in the basement;
the walls of the halls and rooms are
ready for the plaster, and the carpen
ters are planing and sand papering tbe
wood for the inside finishing.
