NOT A. MATTER OF SENTIMENT. That shade In the pasture should be viewed by the farmer as something more than a matter^ of mere sentiment Is shown somewhat painfully in an In cident narrated in the daily papers some three weeks ago regarding the loss of stock by a couple of north Iowa farmers. It was one of those blister ing hot days in the middle of last month when the mercury was hover ing around the 100 F. mark in the shade, and nobody’ got a record of how hot it was in the glare of the sunlight out in the open pasture. Some forty head of cattle in adjoining pastures were seen to huddle together as closely as the. intervening fence would let them. They were driven to other parts of the two pasttires, but in a short time were back again and this time were left there. An hour or so later an investigation showed that, ev ery one of this group of cattle which were thus bunched in the sunlight had died of sunstroke or- whatever the mal ady would be as applied to animals. It is probably safe to say that these two farmers will take their cattle out of pasture on such days hereafter or will see that they are provided with shelter of some. sort. In such in stances shade should not be viewed as a matter of sentiment, but as a dollars and cents proposition. tlbn of the fumes. Which are KAafler than air and will pqenetrate to the bottom of the bin. After the pans have been set the bin or inclosure should be kept closed tightly for from twenty-four to thirty-six hours.

The states, of Washington and Ore gon are both considering seriously a limited form of state aid to farmers who lately homesteaded or will home stead cut off timberlands and who will develop them into agricultural lands. The general plan suggested is to. loan money for the purpose of clearing, the land at a low rate of in terest; payment of the principal being so arranged as to cover a considerable period of years. This plan has much to commend it, and certainly its jus tice as well as wisdom should com mend it to enlightened legislators in every state where such lands are to be found. In many states such tim berlands have a marvelously rich soil, but the ridding of the land of stumps is an an almost superhuman job.

Prop. warden reports to the writer that these pretty birds, have multiplied until he estimates that there are now between 175 and 200 birds, including the origi nal pairs and their offspring, that are making headquarters on the nearby farms. This is most encouraging, as there was considerable question wheth er the birds would do well so far north.
