Many'" farmers desire to possess superior cows, but from apiwarauces oil the average farm one frequently seen fear tome looking specimens doing duty as bulls. It forces one to believe thai there are numerous farmers who do not care what breed,, form, slr.e or oth er points they own so long as (be ' ani mals can do the work required. , This Is an extremely unfortunate at titude, and when put in practice, as it A CHAMPION 8UORTBOHM. Is far too often. It Is quite certain that tbe stock produced will be of an In ferior character. It Is here tbe mis take becomes conspicuous and more noticeable later when the progeny Is marketed. Superior cows are very desirable, but a good bull Is more so, and It should be tbe ambition of all to own such, not only as a credit to oneself, but an a money getter. A cow may be as good as Is possible, but use an Inferior bull and ber calf will be moderate, to say the least, but use a substantial bull and ninety-nine chances to oue the calf will be better either than tbe sire or dam. Attempts to breed from a poor class of cows wttb a bull of a similar ctmr acter only results In the production ot a lot or weeds, but If a really good bull Is uspd for Inferior cows the stork will be Improved perceptibly both In appearance and value. . ' A pure bred bull of any kind Is an acceptable animal, but crossbred ones are doubtful. That some are good It must be admitted, but the majority are rubbish. It does not mutter what the object of breeding be milk produc tlon In the extreme or beef with great development on the most valued parts a superior bull will always make Its mark and have a big share In securing all tbat Is required for ornament and utility. ;- EXERCISE CARE IN SELECTING BOAR. The selection of tbe boar Is very lm portant, and It Is tbe opinion of tbe writer tbat some farmers do not have as mucb success as tbey abould and could bava In raising bogs simply be cause tbey do not exercise tbe care necessary in selecting the male to be used In their herds. The bour should be selected witb greater care than tbe sow, for bis influence equals tbe combined Infill ence of all the sows of the herd A superior boar may be used on a su perior herd of sows wltb good result, but tbe use of an Inferior boar on sows of high quality will have a disastrous outcome. Tbe one method raises the standard of the herd; the other lovarl ably lowers It. A boar wltb male characteristic strougly developed should be selected, preferably as a yearling or else as a pig tbat bas been purchased at tbe same time as tbe sows and allowed to corns to maturity before being used. He should bavs a well erected neck and a strong masculine bead. His shoulders should be developed accord ing to bis age. However, strong shntii der development In pigs under a year or eighteen months old Is objection able. Tbe boar should be selected to cor rect any defects tbat may be common to the sows. For example. If tbe sows are rather coarse In bone and loosely built the boar should hare hlgb qual ity and fine bones, skin and balr. It raiu REKKSHIRI BOA a.

According to a successful dairyman, tbe presence of dirt In milk Indicates careless and opcleauly methods id pro duction and handling. Another com mon defect Is off flavored milk, which may be due to a variety ot causes, as feeding strong Oavored foods, inch bs turnips, garlic, etc.: second, to feeding certain feeds to excess, as, for exam ple, silage; third, to odors of silage or manure in tbe stable; fourth, to parti cles of manure and dirt getting Into the milk, and, flftb. to not properly rinsing tbe bottles after using wash ing powders. Dairymen, as a rule, have been quick to see these defeets when pointed out and to appreciate the Importance from a business stand point of producing milk as uenrly per fect as possible. ' Keeping the Best Mare. ' flood, big drafts seem to attract the most attention, and yet the perfect Kraft horse Is hard to find In the average rural community. Extra One young horses are picked up at gsd prices by buyers who want such stuft. and the' farmer gets along with less valuable animals. That Is all right for geldings, but the best young mare ought to remain on the farm. Selecting the Cow. Points In selecting a cow: If you are hnvlnz a cow. look for a Uug mirier lengthwise ot her tiorty.. verv elastjr as this invariably mean uitlk: H soft skin, large, rmmiv digestive organs. wltb broad ribs wide apart.

And this wanton slaughter of these beautiful and useful birds Is prosecuted for the uiunlflceut reward of 10 cents a dozen, which the deud birds fetch on tbe local market. This esse but emphasizes tbe need of carry- rylng out a suggestloa made la tbese notes some months ago that those In terested In the effective protection of bird life should lend their combined Influence to secure the enactment of a federal law which will exempt front such wanton slaughter all useful mi gratory or Interstate birds. A letter of Inquiry sent by the writer to the chief of the biological survey at Wishing toa elicited tbe Information that Dp to tbat time no legislation of this charac ter had been presented or even given anions consideration.

In a late Installment of these notes a paragraph on tbe pear blight recom mended kerosene as a suitable disin fectant for tools used lu removing blight Infected portions of pear and apple trees. This was given on what was supposed to be good authority, but a series of articles put in print within a few days by Professor P. J. O'Uara. pear blight specialist of the depart ment of agriculture and stationed for the past three years in the Uogue river valley, states that no disinfectant should be used but corrosive sublimate mercuric chlorlde-wblcb Is a deadly poison when taken internally, but has no 111 effect on cuts or bruises on the bands. He recommends that a solution as strong as 1-1000 should be used. made by dissolving three tablets in four ounces or half a pint of water. A small sponge kept moistened with the solution Is the most convenient meuus of amoving It to tbe tools to be dlsln fected. It Is Important to disinfect tbe pruning tools after each operation, as well as the wound In twig or iiiud. WIND AND GASOLINE POWER. The chief drawback with the wind mill as a furnisher of motor power for pumping and other purposes lies In the fact that too often when power Is most needed It is likely to go on a strike for lack of a breeze to stir It While the gasoline engine has 'tan trums now and then, yet If worth any thing to start with and handled dis creetly It can usually be counted on to do business when needed, wnue it furnishes enough power to do many Jobs too heavy for a windmill to han dle. As a general thing a gasoline en gine will prove useful and satisfactory quite directly In prqrjqrtipp ttwthe price which the fnsanuracturers ass for it. and this is a ract tnat it is wen to keep in view when purchasing. Many a fellow buys a bargain counter gasoline engine only to execrate the day when he was so rJggardly short- lighted. If any of the garden flowers or berry bushes should be attacked by mjdew the matter may be remedied by sprin kling the leaves with flowers of sul phur, preferably when the dew Is on, so that the powder will stick. It Is surprising how the shoving of the dog tax up from 1 to $3 per annum will alter peoplo's Ideas of the Intrinsic value of members of the ca nine tribe. Hundreds of small towns need to have this test applied. The young asparagus bed set' last fall or this spring should not be cropped this season, as all of the energy the plants can muster should be allowed to go toward the development of sturdy root systems. This will give a largely Increased output of the vege table another season. When one finds himself under tbe necessity of borrowing tools or ma chinery fairness would seem to Justify the payment of a nominal sum to the owner for the accommodation. This would but cover wear and tear nud a small Interest return on the mouey Invested lu such equipment. If perchance samples of pills or other dope should be left at tbe back door It would be well to put the stuff In the garbage can or Are before the young sters about the house get bold of It Most of this peddled trash contains deadly poison, which will not only muke a child sick, but kill It if lu an overdose. More than one housewife saves her self a world of hard work by having the men of the house put off their muddy boots and shoes before going luto the kitchen or dining room. This takes a little time, but the reasonable ness of It will be appreciated by uny fair minded niuu who will get down on his prayer bones and scrub the floor two or three times. Recent feeding experiments conducted by tbe Massachusetts experiment sta tion at Amherst In the matter of feed ing alfalfa meal and bran have demon strated that there Is no disadvantage In feeding the former unless It can be got at the same or a less price than bran. Analyses showed the bran to have a trifle larger protein content, while It was eaten by the cows more readily and resulted lu manures of a considerably higher fertilizer value. If any of our readers have been be lated, as the writer has been. In the setting of fruit or shade trees, the fault may be remedied In part by a Judicious watering, care being taken to see tbat the ground Is mellowed shortly after the watering Is done so as to prevent the formation of a crust about the tree, while the application of a shovelful of well rotted manure through which the rain or water arti ficially applied can soak Is an excel lent aid lu enabling the tree to make op for tbe lost time. A majority of tbe soothing sirups at present on the market and frequently used by tired mothers to quiet crying babies contain considerable quautltl of morphine or cocaine, both of them deadly poisons, and many of the so called cures for several drug habits contain the very drugs a craving for which tbese cures are supiiosed to re lieve the drug victim of. Farmers' bulletin No. 3113, put ont a short time ago by the department of agriculture at Washington, goes very thoroughly Into tbe subject of these death deal ing nostrum. There should lie one in every borne. Nature seems to have provided ex- cetlonal means for reducing the baby hood tbe helpless period of the bird to a minimum, thereby decreasing the likelihood of their destruction by their several nataral enemies.

It Is bulky, safe nutritious and agreeable In the slnl lion's taste, digestion unit require ments. A bran nush once or twice a week has for years been deemed de slrable for Us laxative effect unless the stalllou has access to grass, but some of the leading practitioners condemn the weekly bran mush as conducive to colic. , , Some-owners prefer fo 'depend entire ly on cured feed' throughout the seu son. but others equally successful es teem a few minutes' grazing daily at the halter or I lie run of a grass lot as very essential to the health and vigor of their stallions. The freedom of roomy lot with a high strong fence Is a splendid thing, grass or no grass. The essential thing In tbe feeding Is to furnish the horse abundant nourish menu keeping his system in vigorous, healthy form. Whatever grass Is fed should be grazed by tbe horse. It Is not safe to feed It in the barn, for a most surely some or It will nt some time sour In the manger and produce trouble. It Is better to graze tbe horse In tbe evening ruther than In tbe morn Ing. Timothy hay Is the safest kind to feed, and most of It should be fed long. If the horse bolts his grain cut some huy short und mix about two quarts of that with each feed ot gniln The total amount of the grain feed per day should be about one pound for each hundred pounds that the horse weighs, but more should be given If be bus a large amouul of road work or Is a hard keeper. There Is great variation In tbe re quirements of different horses In this respect Of hay he should have about a pound a day for each hundred pounds that he weighs, and little variation need be made from Ibis rule unless he gets considerable grass.

Hogging down corn Is an economical feeding practice familiar to dwellers in certain sections of the corn belt brief ly, turning the hogs into small fenced portions of a field of mature corn and letting them eat It at will. A Colorado sheep grower seems to have adapted this Idea to, sheep and beets and Inst year harvested twenty acres of beets by turning sheep Into small patches of the field set off by hurdles. They ate tops, roots and all, the only assistance received being a loosening of the deep er rooted beets with a spading fork. The feeder commends the plan as a successful one. , While the tomato will produce some fruit of fair size with little or no at tention, very satisfying results in the matter of an Improvement In the size of the fruit can be had by thorough and frequent cultivation und u pruning of the vines so that they will set fruit on but three or four leaders or branches. When this plan is followed It is well to stake the plants in an up right position, using a strip of cloth to fasten the vines to the sakes. Should fruit of exceptional size be desired this may be brought about by still further restricting the number of to matoes allowed to ripen. While housewives are generally of the opinion that it Is more difficult to make good bread from soft than hard wheat flour, the following recipe gives excellent results: One quart of wet ting. Including one cupful of soft yeast. Add two level tablespoonfuls of salt and three and three-quarters quarts of sifted flour. Mix and knead fifteen minutes, let rise, mold down, let rise again and put in tins. Ix-t rise aguiu and bake. The above .recipe gives equally good results with bard wheat flour by reducing the quantity of flour to three quarts. With tills recipe one can start a batch of bread at 0 in the morning and bake it witb the dinner fire. Several points have been pretty well learned about feuceposts seasouiug them, their durability, etc. Amoug these are that the post timber should be cut during the summer or early autumn, that the bark should be peeled off nt once so that the drying process will be hastened and that if possible from eight months to a year should elapse between the time of cutting the posts and setting them in the ground. More recent experience proves quite conclusively that giving the butts of the posts a bath of hot creosote will increase their life from two to three times. Whether such treatment would pay In any particular case would de pend on tbe price of posts and tbe cost of creosote, As a result of using seed of poor vitality many a corn grower Is just now confronted with a stand of corn so poor tbat It will hardly pay him to give it the care It should have during the remainder of the season, and natu rally he is looking for a substitute. While buckwhent, cowpeas, soy beans and sorghum may prove the most de sirable substitute crops In certain sec tions, millet will likely prove most sat isfactory In a majority of Instances. Of the three varieties of millet com mon, Hungarian and German the first Is considered best for a forage crop, while tbe last will give the best results in a seed crop. The chief ob jection to the Hungarian millet is that it crosses readily wltb the common wild foxtail, a near relative of the mil let family. The common millet and Hungarian will do better on light soils than the German variety. With all of the millets which are Intended as for age crops It Is important to cut before the beads have passed the dough stage. The North Dakota experiment station, which has been Investigating millet as a forage crop lately, recommends one feed of properly cured millet a day for borses and two feeds for other stock as a stimulant tending to produce a healthy physical condition of the ani mals. In feeding value millet Is less palatable than timothy hay and infe rior to It In nutritive qualities. While dry seasons have their draw backs. It Is a matter of common ob servation that the quality of both small grain and corn crops is belter during such seasons than during those In wbk-b there Is an excess of rain. Tbat buttermilk can hardly lie rec ommended as a healthful beverage which la got from creamer leu or im-1- vate dairies In which the cream prod uct hi in part furnished by cows badly affected witb tuberculosis. And what is true of the buttermilk holds tme In even larger measure wltb tbe fresh milk from tbe same animals. If the piece of lowland dric out sufficiently so as to be put In fit nbai aa a seed bed by July I oorghuin will give excellent returns as a forage crop.
