Sheep and Hoge. 1 have given ra|>e a thorough trial and have fouud It a moot valuable crop for summer and fall pasture, partly ou account of Its providing ex­ cellent pasture until late tn the fall and also because It ia very useful tn cleaning the land, says a correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer. It does not. however, provide a proper food for milk cows owing to its flavoring the milk and butter somewhat similar­ ly to turnip tops. But as food for dry cattle, sheep and hogs tt is most ex­ cellent. furnishing au abundant pas­ ture from the middle of July until very late in the fall tf cattle are given their liberty. The expense of growing rape ts very trifling, as the seed costs but a CARING FOR UNRULY COWS.

Some cows are confirmed ramblers and cannot lie turned by any ordinary fence lu a ease of this kill«! tbe vice Is due to the animal not having been prufierly restricted in tier wanderings while she was growing to maturity, and there seems to be uo cure for the vice. A preventive measure Is to equip the animal with a collar and swinging pole, but the best plan is to sell her nt tbe first convenient opportunity A cow that kicks while l>eliig milked Is not beloved of the milker, and such a practice is a sign that more time and imtleuce should have been ex|>euded upon her when she first eanic down to milk It depends somewhat upon the Individuality of the cow and how long she has thus misbehaved tiers, ;t wli. ili I <»r er her tui ami not.

Some people judge a farmer by the fences he maintains. The wise man looks over the fence and sees the crop in the field. Therefore put your work on your fields though the fences have to groan and croak. The man who can complacently face his potato field polluted with weeds and not disturb his hoe and cultivator bad better let the other man raise the CABINETS potatoes and he give all his time to GROUPS crops that can successfully compete with weeds. LANDSCAPES Some one asks. Does it pay to take a hoe into the cornfield? If the hoe Is High-grade Work knife sharp and you use It vigorously Artistic Finish Improved Facilities to destroy the stray weeds along the row It pays well. Should you be one of those fellows who write the aver­ NEW GALLERY age stuff about the man with the boe Powell Street Gresham you had better take a typewriter. No young man can hope to accom- plish much who has not made his life a reservoir of power on which be can draw in every emergency. MAXWELL SCHNEIDER PHOTO STUDIO One of the most humane ways for removing home ou calve» Is by means of caustic potash Get one or more sticks of caustic potnsh and preserve it In n tightly corked bottle. One stick will serve to dehorn u number of calves Apply this potash as soon as the buttonlike horns can lie felt on the calt. which Is usually when It Is three or four days old To apply the potash remove the hair nliout the horn close to the skin, moisten the potnsh slightly and rub over the skin which rovers the point of the horns until the skin is white. It Is not necessary to rub the skin until blood comes, as Is often advised, as It causes unnecessary soreness. Wrap the caustic In heavy paper to protect the hands of the op­ erator. Do not moisten the caustic too much so that the liquid will run down tbe sides of the calf» bead, for this will cause unnecessary pain. Fasten the head securely and apply the pot- ash only on tbe spot over the horns. BOOKS E. E. Marshall Mitchell, Lewis & Staver Agent for HYLAND BROS.
