; If we are to make as rapid progress ;
fa the Improvement of our dairy breed "
fa we may reasonably expect, the prea- :
rvatlon of tbe breeding powers of
Ires of approved merit must be given
- more attention than it has received in
tbe past. Some ' bulls are naturally

are managed. - !
For some time after the arrival or
Sarcastic Lad at the University of Illi
nois conditions made it necessary to
keep him iu a small stall, with no exer-
cise except that given on the staff. No ;
Injurious results were noted for about j
a year, but by this time there were evi- j
dences that a change should be made. '
He was accordingly given a larger
stall, with access to an outside yard,
where exercise could be taken at will.
Failing to move about as much as he
should, he was led about with the staff
Until bis bad disposition manifested it
self iu breaking ar heavy staff and jeop
ardizing the lives of his attendants at
two different times. Then it was de
cided that be spend the remainder of
bis days in confinement. Such a ver
dict naturally raised the question of
providing exercise, which was done by
Installing a tread power.
There is no opening in the stall or
yard large enough to permit of his es
cape if it should be left open. The
approach through which cows come to

and is consequently too small for his
exit. The tread power and breeding

rack, which stand at the remote eud of
the yard, are accessible to the stall by
a narrow raised walk protected by a
Strong rail.
When it Is desired to exercise the
bull, who is allowed the freedom of
his stall and yard, a rope is snapped
Into his ring. This is done by simply
reaching through the bars of his stall
as he stands at his manger. The eud
Is passed through the door, and the at
tendant, stepping through auother
opening, leads him along the passage
way, as shown in the cut. He takes
his place readily in the power, and the
attendant handles the brake. When it
Is desired to use the breeding rack, the
cow is made fast In position, and the
gate which was formerly In front of
the rack Is swung over In front of the
power and serves as a guard to the at
tendant. With this arrangement no
one need be Injured. The power gen
erated is not utilized here except as it
has sweetened the disposition and re
juvenated the physical powers of Lad.
He was decidedly dangerous wiien first
put to work, but is now a gentleman.
Not only that; he Is a sure breeder.
A previous owner Intimated that so
old a bull could not be trained to work
on a power. He. has worked from the
first and seems to enjoy it The equip
ment Is not expensive when the im
portance of prolonging the days of use
fulness of a sire Is considered. The
good results coming from this trial en
courage us In advocating more strong
ly than ever the use of mature sires,
because they can be handled safely
and easily. It would be wiser perhaps
to train them to toil while young rath
er than keep them In that senseless
show condition which conduces to bad
temper and undermines vitality, says
Herbert A. Hopper, instructor In dairy
cattle at the University of Illinois.
Sarcastic Lad is the sire of eighteen
A. R. O. daughters and eight sons, who
have fifty A. R. O. daughters. He has
more than twenty-five sons heading
leading herds in this country. He Is
now nine years old and apparently at
the age of greatest usefulness. The Il
lustration Is from noard's Dairyman.
The Head of the Herd.
To the farmer breeder who breeds
dairy cows for their dairy worth 1
would recommend the plan of breeding
producers together to get producers.
I would go to that breeder of pure bred
stock whose reputation for truth telling
is above question and ask him to show
me the individual records of his herd
for as many years as he can. This he
can do, for any man who is worthy the
title of breeder knows the performance
of his animals. Look amoug the bulls
he has for sale for one whose mother
and both grandmothers have yielded
above 300 pounds of fat for several
years in succession. Then look for
vigor and strength and evidence of
function in that individual, and see
that among his relatives there are no
weaklings. Professor G. M. Gowell.
Caused by Carelessness.
From a considerable experience as a
dairyman and a gatherer-of tjream on
n cream route I find thnt poor or sour
s-reani is almost always caused by care
lessness in some way en the parrot the
dairyman. The person that is careless
at everything else win be careless in
the dairy, and whatever the method
used there will be a failure to secure
a first class product, and also a failure
to secure the Income that would come
to one who gives careful attention to
the business in all its details. Charles

Th Frv'it J of .. Desirable Sir and
Boras In Abundance.
In 1905 the third generation of the
Lonjf White-New York Improved cross
was represented by a block of thirty
plants, as recorded In tbe annual re
port of tbe New Jersey experiment sta
tion for that year. It was there stated
that "seeds were saved from only two
plants, and these were exceptionally
fine In many respects and agreed in
having the several fruits one - seven
and the other nine of a delicate pink
color when ready for the market."
During the season of 1906 forty-five
plants from the seed of the best plants
above mentioned were grown in the
gardens. Upon July 9 the plants were
in bloom, and, some variations were
noted, and a week later it was observ-

were a bright pink others were entire
ly white. The shape also is not uni
form, but, in a general way. long and
broadening from the stem downward
and providing many slices of a de
sirable size, with the upper ones free
from seeds. Later In the season It was
determined by actual count that there
were thirty-seven plants that bore
pink and eight white fruits. The plants
were quite uniform in size and charac
ter of foliage, with the leaves and
stems of a strictly green color. The
fruits themselves, borne in abundance,
were long and bell shaped. The color
varied among the pinks, some of them
being dark and othei-3 decidedly light,
so that further selection is much need
ed before a uniform fruit ia color and
also in shape Is obtained. The type of
plant, productiveness and desirable
shape of the fruit all combine to make
this cross one of decided promise.
Beef Cows on Illinois Farms.
Formerly Illinois farms were well
stocked with high grade beef cows,
from which were produced the feeding
cattle that were subsequently fattened
to furnish a profitable outlet for the
large acreages of corn grown. This
was when land and corn were cheap.
As land became more valuable and
corn was used for other purposes than
making meat It was found that there
was but small profit if any, in keep
ing a cow a year for the beef calf iJue
would produce. During this transition
period extensive breeding herds were
formed on the western ranges. The
breeding of feeding cattle as a com
mon practice on high priced lands has
passed at least temporarily. The sup-
! ply of feeding cattle has come more
1 and more largely from localities where
i land Is cheaper. Range bred feeding
cattle are becoming yearly a larger fac
i tor in corn belt feed lots. Illinois Ag

and it is therefore highly undesirable
ti' feed much straw to a brood 'mare
when she. Lai suckling tar foal J Heating
foods,' too, are bad for such mares, as
they heat the system and may have
an injurious effect upon the milk. A
brood mare which is worked before her
foal Is weaned must receive an extra
allowance of grain in addition to the
usual ration of working horses, other
wise she cannot nourish her foal prop
erly, and she will also lose condition.
Mares with a foal should never be
worked very severely, as this has a
ad effect upon the flow of milk and
jterferes with the milk secretion,
v'hen . they are worked their work
houid be of a light and moderate
character. It will not do to keep a
aaro, when she is doing work, away
'vom her foal for too long a space of
ime. as the foal will then get unduly
.tuigry and take too much milk at one
true,, with the result that it is upset
Moreover, very long fasts are not at
!1 good for a suckling foal. It requires
o feed at pretty frequent intervals.
This must be borne in mind by the
breeder when he works his brood
uares, and he should be careful to
ee that mare and foal come together
sgain in due time when the former is
lerforming work. It is bad for a foal
o suck its dam when she returns from
vork in a very heated state. Over
vxertion of the mare must be avoided,
.s this has a deleterious effect upon
he milk.
When running on a pasture mares
md foals require shade, and this point
should receive due attention from the
'ireeder. For foals belonging to the
light class of horses fairly high lying
pasture is most suitable, as on tha
rery low lying and mushy pasturage
he feet become more or less soft and
preading, and they do not get so hardj
md tough as in .the case- when the
coals are reared on the former kind of
toll.
When a brood mare with a foal falls
off in condition to an appreciable ex
ent owing to the food not being plen
tiful enough or owing to its lacking the
accessary amount of nourishment it is
lot the mare alone that suffers, but
the foal also because of the scarcity of
milk. This aspect of the question is
.'ery often lost sight of by careless
Uorse breeders, who think that it does
lot matter if the mare loses flesh and
uills away in condition while suckling
'ier foal.
Look to the Foundation Stock.
Even if it were possible for every
hog raiser to become expert in doc
toring the diseases of swine, which
obviously would be an impossible
proposition, it would not be nearly as
practicable an accomplishment as the
ability to prevent diseases from ap
pearing or their taking a virulent form,
says a noted breeder. How shall this
be done? By looking to tlas foundation
stock and using animals ot pronounced
vitality and not sacrificing this feature
for form and external markings, by
making a study : of the hog to learn
what effects bear upon his growth and
development. . This Is not easy to do
and less easy to tell another how.
However, this faculty comes uncon
sciously to the man who has faith in
the hog as a profitable producer.
THE HORSEMAN.
Feed the young colts grain regularly.
It is not all wear that uses up the
harness. Lack of care will do it faster
than actual service. It pays to keep
the leather well cleaned and oiled.
Be generous in the use of the brush
es, but sparing in the use of the comb.
Good grooming should be done every
day to keep the pores open, the skin
healthy and the hair silky. Soft hair is
very warm and is a nonconductor of
heat.
Never leave a reeking mess of wet
straw and manure under the horses. It
ruins the health and eyes and is a dis
grace to any horse owner.
Scrub breeding gets scrub progeny
and brings scrub prices.
Too much at a meal and too much be
tween meals are alike bad for the
horse.
A little salt every day will keep the
colts free from worms. Barrel salt is
better than rock.
The poorer qualities of hay should
be cut and fed with molasses.
All hay should be well shaken up
and moistened by sprinkling a little
water on it before feeding.
Weak food will make a weak colt
weak legs and unsound joints.
Don't put your horse's feet in unskill
ed hands. Good feet are spoiled by
bad shoeing.
With a good grain ration a work
horse should not have all the hay be
can eat He will give better and more
efficient service on a small amount of
hay.
The hoofs of young horses often be
come overgrown when the latter are
running on very soft pasture land, and
it is necessary in such cases to have
the feet pared down to their regular
shape, otherwise the hoofs may be
come permanently misshappen or the
feet may assume an irregular position.
A pair of horses properly driven will
start a load slowly and carefully, their
legs well under them, their necks arch
ed, their toes gripping the pavement
and the reins taut in the hands of the
driver. . If they are badly driven, their
legi will, spraw), their necks are likely
to be stretched out, instead of arched,
the reins will be loose on their backs,
and they will try to start the load by
a sort of convulsive jump instead of by

at all they dry but very quickly and

big warehouses, where large quanti
ties of cigars are stored, the job
bers have humidors installed. They
are- simply water containers of one
Etyle or another arranged so that
the water is open to the air for evap
oration. The presence of the water
prevents the air from getting too
tlry for the ciffars. Even in the big
showcases in the jobbers' salesrooms
the same precaution is taken to pre
vent the stock from drying out.
Moisteners made by placing water
soaked pads in tin lined wooden
boxes are placed in the compart
ments with the boxes of cigars. The
careful retailer is just as particular
with his cigars and keeps a soaked
sponge Or some sort of moistenef in
his showcases with his goods.
"A brick thoroughly water soaked
is good to put in a showcase with
cigars. The brick is so porous that
it will soak up nearly its own bulk
in water. When a soaked brick is,

to keep the cigars soft.
"If cigars are packed in good,
tight boxes they will retain their
flavor, and the flavor of good cigars
comes from the tobacco alone. It is
a mistake to think that anything
else is used to enhance or qualify
the flavor of first class tobaccos.

ufacturers provide an artificial fla
vor with various drugs. They treat
them so they give forth the odor of
good tobacco too. If you're a
smoker you've probably picked up
an inexpensive cigar that smelled as
if it were made from the best of to
bacco. When you smoked it you
found it contained short 'filler' and
Sadly lacked the smoking qualities
of a cigar made from good tobacco.
That was a doctored cigar. Often
cheap cigars look as if they had a
glaze on the wrapper, and when
placed in the mouth the smoker de
tects a sweetish flavor. These are
evidences of drugs. As far as I ever
heard the drugs used are all perfect
ly harmless.
"Nearly all cheap cigars' are made
of short filler that is, the inside of
: the cigars is composed of broken,
'bits 'of tobacco leaves. Only the

perfect leaves. In the cheap grades
of Spanish and Cuban made cigars
, there is no binder. The small bits

The Only Shade.
It was a broiling hot day in the
park, and those walking therein
' were well nigh exhausted when a

along one of the paths, closely fol
, lowed, by a rough looking tramp.
' Twice she commanded him to leave
her,but still he followed just behind.
: At last the old lady, quite disgusted,
i turned angrily around and said.
;Look here, my man, if you don't go
away 1 shall call a policeman."
The poor fellow looked up at her
with a tear in his eye and then re
marked, "For goodness' sake, mum,

The Game of Jolly Tailors Is Lively and
Mirth Provoking.
The players seat themselves in a
circle to represent tailors at work
on a piece of cloth. A handkerchief
or a duster will answer the purpose.
A leader or foreman is chosen,
and every one of the company is
named in turn Red Cap, Blue Cap,
Black Cap, Yellow Cap, Brown Cap,
etc. The loader then takes the
piece of cloth and pretends to ex
amine the work which is supposed
to have been done by the workman.
He is supposed to discover a bad
stitch and asks, "Who did it, Blue
Cap?"
The latter immediately answers,
"Sot I, sir."
"Who then, sir?"
"Yellow Cap, sir."
Yellow Cap must then answer at
once in the same maner and name
anotlier workman. Any one who
fails to answer to his name-pays a
forfeit.
If carried on in a brisk manner,
Ihis game will cause endless amuse
ment. Making Breed of Acorns.
Indians have a way of making
read from acorns. They pound the
ucorns in a hollow rock until they
ire reduced almost to a powder, and
;hen they sift that through an old
basket. They put the meal upon a
! jiece of cloth, dampen it and when
the water has run off put the wet
meal into a. water tight receptacle,
",our more water over it and put it
ba. a pot over the fire to cook. When
it becomes about as thick as mush
they dip it out with a cup and, pour
ing it into cool water, the dough
hardens into cakes of bread. This
ought to be great fun to try on or
picnic in the fall.
Game of Old Sailor.
The children "count out" to see
which one will be old sailor. All
. stand in line except the old sailor,
I who comes limping up and says to
the nrst child:
Here comes an old sailor from Baffin's
bay.
What have you got to give him today?
He may then ask any questions he
chooses from the players in turn
and if in answering him a player'
uses the words "yes" or "no,"
"black" or "white" he must become
old sailor, and the questioner takes
his place in the line.
Height of Ocean Waves. -
The few scientific observers of
ocean waves do not agree on the
height of the largest waves, but M.
Bertin, the latest to study the sub
ject, says that fifty feet is the great
est height reached by waves even in
midoeean. The largest waves M.
Bertin measured were 2,590 feet
from crest to crest, fifty feet in
height, and their duration was twenty-three
seconds. The horizontal
pressure of one of these huge At
lantic waves has been recorded at
three tons to the square foot.
The Greatest Volcanic Eruption.
It is generally agreed that the
greatest recorded eruption was that
of Mount Krakatao, near Java, in
1883. Among other, things the
eruption created dust finer than any
rock can be found by man, and this
dust floated around in the air, in
visible quantities for three years.
The eruption was beard 3,000 miles
away and broke windows, 100 miles
from the crater. It threw a tidal
wave 100 feet high a distance of
five miles inland and caused air
waves that circled tbe earth.
