In the fat cattle division ninny valuable prizes are offered. Walt Spots la flatter. ' A correspondent writes us that h had Jersey heifer the butter of which Was Injured by white spots, supposej to bo due to minute clots of curd, says The Bural New Yorker. The coudltion waa remedied by giving every night one-half tablesioonful of cooking soda. Wo have submitted this to I'rofcsaor Lew of tbe New York Slate Veterinary College, who says If tbe white spots are really minute clota of curd tbe ex- ! planatloo can be made on a purely ! chemical basis. Tbe most common cause of clotting Is the development of add la the milk and the presence of an excess of salts of lime. The lime alts especially determine a firmness and Insolubility In tbe coagulum. The tiring of bicarbonate of soda in small , from the stomach and thus to Improve oigesxion, assimilation anu secretion. Including the condition of tbe milk. Tbe Increased secretion from the stom ach Implies a greater flow of hydro- 1 chloric acid, but In the presence of soda I this la soon resolved Into chloride of sodium, or common salt, which Is no , longer acid. The surplus soda salt cir culating In the blood and secreted with tbe milk to a certain extent bars the ' early formation of acid In the milk aud I tbe resultant souring. - Again, tbe soda I baa atronger chemical alllultles than i lime and tends to take to Itself tbe ! aclda that go to make up the salts of lime and thus to diminish the amount of lime present In the milk aud the tendency to firm clotting. Even sup posing the white spots should have been due to the growth of a ferment (bacterium), thla must be a germ that finds Its proper home In a sour (acid) medium, and the Increase of the alka line soda, by hindering souring, would for a time keep the medium In a con dition In which such a germ fitted for add media could not grow. rived from the use of the separator: First, you nu get the cream out of the milk Immediately after milking, aud thus yon will only huve to cure for tbe cream; then the sklmmllk can be fed In Ita sweet, warm state to the calves and pigs; second, the milk becomes cleansed from all particles of dirt when separated; third, the tlnent butter la made from the cream, and It will com mand the highest market price.

We sometimes hesitate to remrt without cominetit the sale of such horses as the high stepping gelding The Turk, which brought $7.hki at the late Tlchenor sale, says The National Stockman. The Turk Is a small lior-e. only 15.1 hands, but of beautiful con formation and a splendid actor. He is an exceptional horse In every way. The man who breeds small horses may now and then get an animal of this kind, but be has no assurance of this r even of getting enough out of them to pay for their raising. Small park horses do sell for fancy prices now and then, but for every little horse that fetches a big price there are lO.fKK) that owe their breeders money when they go to market No breeder who has to make a living from his business can afford to take any such chances. Better breed big ones. Good big horses will average more money than little ones of the same quality. I-ct the ranchmen produce the little fellows - they can do It chenpest and go In for aise along with quality. Orrru Alfalfa For Cows. During the summer of lS'.M) the Han ts Agricultural college fed ten bead of cowe on green alfalfa for a period of 74 days. During this time they receiv ed 77.145 pounds of alfalfa and 1.C23 pounds of corn and Katlir corn meal. On account of other experimental work It was Impossible to retain tbe same field of alfalfa through the entire pe riod, and consequently we could not measure the area used; but. figuring 0D the basis of dry matter produced and comparing It with the amount pro- j duccd by an iverage yield of four tons or wen cured nay per acre, we tlud that It took 2.07 acres to keep ten cows 74 days. During this time these cows yielded $85.9 worth of butter fat and Sklmmllk. The grain cost $10.05. This leaves $75.04 to be credited to the green alfalfa, amounting to $1.05 per ton, or $25.20 per acre. Green alfalfa la relished by tbe cows, aud a field can be kept In good condition for feeding during tbe whole summer. Where pas turage Is abundant It will doubtless not pay to feed green alfalfa, but where pasture land Is scarce or tbe grass becomes short or dry green alfal fa famishes an excellent feed and will aot only keep up the flow of milk for the time being, but will help materially to maintain a large flow through a longer period of lactation. Pasturing alfalfa will sometimes cause cows to bloat. We did not have a single case of bloat from cutting alfalfa and feed- tag It green. Calf reefUs;. 1 see a great many of your readers have trouble raising calves on separa tor milk," says a correspondent of Board's Dairyman. "I have used a separator for three years and never had any trouble, I will give my plans at feeding them. If It will be a benefit to others, yon may publish It I feed the calf the first few days on the milk of Its dam. This is set in pans or crocks for 12 hours, and then the cream la taken off, and the milk Is warmed to 80 degrees and given to the calf. When the cnlf is 2 weeks old. it will eat bran and a little coriuiicul. After this It Is given separator milk until It Is 6 EA7 tTACi.a. attached either by mortise and tenon or bolts to the top of the standard, leaving about one-third of the arm ex tending belww. A short brace extends from the standard to the short end of the arm, aud a long brace reachea to within about five feet of the upper end of the arm. These braces are bolted fust and have cleats nailed on them for convenience In climbing. Five Inch Iron pulleys are secured to the ends of the arm through which runs the hoist ing rope. The supporting trame Is usually made of (Miles, but would be better If made of 2 by 4, 4 by 4 and 2 by 8 lumber. This frame consists of a platform base alHiut 14 feet square, four corner posts (a) of r Inch poles or 4 by 4 scantling and a top platform about 5 by 5 feet square. Two long braces are attached to each of the four sides from lower to opposite upper corners. The center planks of the upper platform are cut out so as to lit around the standard, forming the upier bearing and keeping It In position. A suitable plank with a socket for the pivot at tbe base of tbe standard Is fitted to the lower platform or buse. A pulley Is attached to tbe corner of the base, as shown In the drawing. A seven-eighths Inch ropei 00 to 100 feet long, Is placed In the three pulleys. This stacker can be easily moved short distances by hitch' lug a team to one side of the base. Usually It Is built In tbe stackyard, stack being made close to one side or on both sides, as desired. To operate the Implement attach the hay fork or sling hook and the single tree as usual In handling hay by horse power. If the ground pulley Is placed In the right position, the rope will swing the crane from the load of hay to any desired position above the stack. Hound stucks or tbe usual long bay ricks of any desired length can be made at will. Haw OI Is Mails. Notwithstanding the protests of the oleo trust and Its friends lu congress, tbe various formulas for making oleo margarine bare been made public, and they are at least Interesilior v ti Philadelphia North American. One of the processes for making the kind of butter that Is sold In IV'iutiyl vanla as a dairy product Is thus de scribed In the patent otllce records: "The process consists iu first forming l soap emulsion of the fats or fatty alls with caustic soda; then precipi tate the lyes; then applying chlorluut rd alkaline lye or chlorinated gas to the soap emulsion." That souuds like a recipe for mnklnp. oft soap, but when the color Is added the result Is gilt edge "creamery" but ter for the Pennsylvania market. Here are a few of the constituents of tbe "advanced product of the farm:" DUulphate of lime, borax, salicylic cld. beuxolc scld, orris root, cotton seed oil, bicarbonate of soda, gylcerln, eapsyllc acid, alum, capKlc acid, sul phate of soda, cows' udder, Bulphurlc scld. pepsin, tallow, lard. salt, corn Itarch. butyric ether, caustic potash, castor oil, chalk, slippery elm bark, caul, oil of sesame, oil of suufiower teed, olive oil. turnip seed oil, broiua Chloralum, chlorate of . potash, oil of weeraimomls, oil of (icunuts, peroxide f manganese, stomach of pigs, sheep or calf, nitrate of soda, mustard seed Oil, ultrlc acid, dry blood albumen sugar, butyric acid, bicarbonate of pot tsn ana caustic soon, one cent a pound Is a very modest rate of protec tion for such a foriuhluhle array of mineral aud organic poisons and ahom motions. oriYr In ol'lsill llk llie ' i k I ticket over tlLII'lll tti M'li uli a CENTRAL LINES. meet rum. ii lions, at t'tneai aa i anWe.

In TMC CCMTftUR eoMPssMV, Tt MUMMt TUCKT, ( VOM OfTV. file I It ilas Wever Failed Cattla From Mexico. From our Texas exchanges we learn that there is a big movement of Mexi can cattle, says Farm, Field and Fire side. This wus to he expected ou pres ent market prices. It seems that the Sierre Maclre railroad has been called on to supply 3U0 stock cars for cattle to be loaded nt stations on their line. "1 understand," said Ir. Bray, gov ernment live stock Inspector, "that very lurgc shipments will be made by the Corralitos company, Mr. Urmston, the Azarate Bros, and other cattle raisers in t'asas Grandes county. The cattle will be shipped to ranges for grazing In Texas, Colorado and other western states. Many of them will be calves and yearlings." It Is estimated 300 cars carry about 12,u)u or 15,000 head, varying accord ing to the number of calves. Anyhow this movement of cattle will be the largest made from Mexico Into the United States since about 1883 5, when It was the fashion to buy up large herds of cows In Mexico to stock the western ranches. 0ktmllk as aa Insert Destroyer. It may not be generally known thut Iklmnillk or buttermilk readily mixes with kerosene, forming an emulsion Which destroys Insects without the danger of Injury to animals or plants on which they might lie that might re sult from the use of the pure oil or of oil and water. We first learned of this from using this mixture for the scale Insect, or mite, which causes scaly legs on fowl. We found that one or two dippings or washings with It would cure the worst case of scaly leg and leave the skin as smooth as when Urst batched. We never had occasion to try It for lousy animals, for we never bad one, but we do not hesltutu to rec ommend It and we have lately seen Its ose advised for ticks on sheep, using a rill of kerosene to oue gullon of milk. Wo did not make our mixture so strong Of kerosene as that, but perhaps the larger tick may need a stronger appli cation than an insect so small as to be scarcely visible to the naked eye. American Cultivator. Brlslaa Hares. Belgian hares huve been greatly Itn proved by Judicious breeding and are becoming very popular. Some even believe that they are more profitable than poultry, being cleaner and more cheaply fed and withstanding confine ment well. The meat is delicious, and when they are 4 months old It will bring a higher price than a chicken the same age. Don't buy cheap stock, There Is as much difference In breed lug stock of Belgian hares as there Is an Cows' Taste In Mule, I am not an agriculturist, but for ten fear I lived with an uncle who kept tows. Wc had several changes of cows tnd milkmaids during thut period. It was noticed that certain milkmaids could draw more milk than other. Our most characteristic cow was Tri este, so named on account of her sail bearing, and It required the most touching of border songs to prevail up on her to give a decent supply of milk. Tbe old woman who generally milked her always wound up with "The Land of the Leal" to get the creamy ending of the milking process. A new bund once tackled Trieste with sea songs, with dire consequences. Another cow was called the Evangelist on account of her Intense hatred for psalm tunes and Sunkey hymns. She, strange to say, preferred rollicking tunes. Lon don Chronicle. FAILURE WITH ALFALFA.

Of eourao lame Ideas A boat the Causa aad How te I'reveat It. In some sections of the west where alfalfa could lie easily sgrown It bna Dot become popular because, the farm ers say. It w 111 not suceivil on account of belug clinked out by weeds u of falling to give a good sc- nd cutting, with no third cutting nt .1 From a study of the failures iif grow ing this crop it seems that the method f growing is at fault, according to a Writer In Farm and Fireside, who says: As a general rule, the ground Is well prepared in the spring, the seed sowed at once and a good, promising stand obtained, hut In tbe autumn what al falfa there Is bides among the foxtail and other weeds. Few or no plants tpitear the following spring, and the farmer after perhaps another trlul or two gives up. If this method were abandoned for the following, there would probably be more fields planted to this crop: Pre pare the hind-five acres Is a conven ient area a year or two previous to sowing by growing well tilled corn upon It. In the spring sow nn early maturing crop, such as early planted soy beans or oats. Harrow the ground after this Is nlT each two weeks until the autumn rains commence. Plowing will not lie necessary unless the stub ble In dense. This harrowing will Im prove the soil mid kill several crops of weeds. After the ground tins become wet sow the alfalfa. If It does not be come wet. postpone seeding until the prlng. The best , method of seeding is to cross drill, the seed ls?lng mixed with an eijual quantity of sand, bran or oth er ubstnni-e. or the drill lielng set so aa to sow only half the quantity at each operation. In this way half the seed Is sown scrims the other half. As soon as the plants reach a height of six Inches they should tie mowed. This, If practiced two or three times, will kill weeds and help the alfalfa. It should be done, weeds or no weeds. lon t cut alfalfa as you would clover -after full bloom. Cut Iwfore the maximum bloom and for the first prlng cutting even earlier. This will Insure heavier Inte cuttings. As final cautions avoid loose, dry ground, let the oil settle and become moist, avoid bite cuttings and avoid pasturing until the third yvav. 1 JOB PRINTING IN THE COUNTY.
