GOOD FOOD FOR STOCK.
Root Crop* That Are Valuable aa
Part of the Rations.
The accompanying sketch shows the
formation of several of the most valu
able root crops grown for profit in sale
or for feeding to stock. As a part of
the rations for stock and especially for
cows, the various root crops have been
found not only valuable, but in most
cases essential to the well being of
the animals. They not only give var
iety to the food, but are valuable “sys
tem regulators,” and that they are
necessary to the health of the cow is
proven by the greed with which they
eat them, often leaving the best of
grain and fodder to drop their noses
Into the pail containing roots.
BOOTS EOB LIVE STOCK.
The illustration is timely and it is
to be hoped that every owner of stock
of any kind Will devote some portion
of his ground to growing root crops
the next season. They are easily
raised, but require for the best results
a fairly heavy soil, moderately rich.
Figure 1 represents the Colossal Red
Mangel, which is especially valuable
to dairymen, being as enormous crop
per. Figure 2 is Golden Tankard Man
gel, a fine-grained and more delicate
variety than the first named and is
especially good for feeding sheep and
new milch cows. Figure 3 is Long
Island Improved Ruta Baga Turnip, a
favorite with growers near New York;
figure 4 Danvers half-long Scarlet Car
rot, a fine rich orange red vegetable
valuable for stock feeding and popular
in the market for cooking purposes.
Figure 5 is Improved Short White Car
rot, claimed by many dairymen to be
preferable for feeding to the yellow
or orange varieties. It is easily
grown, adapting itself readily to ordin
ary soils if fairly rich, and yielding
enormously. Figure 6 is Long Island
Orange Carrot, and is doubtless the
best of all late varieties for general
field culture. It is a good keeper, re
tains its bright orange color through
the winter and is thus at all times
saleable.
To Prevent Hog: Cholera.
The chief of the bureau of animal
Industry, Dr. D. E. Salmon, has sub
mitted to Secretary Wilson a report
upon the experiments made in the
treatment of hogs for hog cholera with
anti-toxine serum. This serum is
made upon the same principle as the
anti-toxine of diphtheria.
Good serum has been obtained from
both horses and cattle, a horse or cow
being inoculated with the hog cholera
virus in small quantities at first, and
with larger doses after suitable inter
vals of time. The resistance of the j
animal is thus raised to the highest
practicable point. The blood of su^h
an animal when injected under the j
skin of swine has been found to pos- j
sess both a preventative and curative j
action.
This serum was first tested upon :
small animals in the laboratory and
being found efficacious, was last fall )
tested in Page county, Iowa, on sev- i
eral herds of swine, containing alto- |
gether 278 animals. Leaving out one j
herd, from which definite returns as to j
cause of death could not be obtained, I
only thirty-nine died out of 244 ani- j
mals treated, of which eighty-six were |
sick.
Dr. Salmon believes that with ex- :
perience a better quality of serum can |
be prepared and he has no doubt that
this percentage can be maintained
hereafter._
Animal Cleaning Brash.
In a recently patented' animal clean
ing device, a circular brush is mounted
on a revolving shaft geared to two fric
tion wheels, mounted on a yoke frame,
the brush being rapidly revolved by
drawing the friction wheels lightly
over the body of the animal.
Galnea Pig Raising.
A few person* raise large numbers
of guinea pigs for exportation to
France, where they are highly esteem
ed for the table, the flavor of the meat
being identical with that of the rabbit.
One farmer alone exports over 150,000
of the little animals yearly, and finds
the industry highly profitable, as they
are easilr raised, fikovgh terribly pug
nacious. _ —
NO GREATNESS IN 8PA1N.
Dr. Burrell Explains the Trouble
With the Caetilian Race.
Dr. David James Burrell, pastor of
tbe Marble Collegiate Church, New
York, said, in a sermon on “The Dig
nity of Labor”: “The effect of indo
lence upon a nation finds an apt illus
tration in Spain. No country on earth
has a richer soil. They say, ‘If you
tickle it with a hoe it will laugh with
a harvest.’ But unfortunately for the
Castilian race they have a prejudice
against the hoe. They are given to
bull fighting and fan flirting and love
making. Once there were 12,000 vil
lages along the Guadalquver; now
there are but 800. The land has fallen
Into innocuous desuetude.
“The people are a race of beggars
more or less respectable. There is no
greatness in Spain. If the kingdom
were to perish from the earth it would
leave no laws, no literature, nothing
as a legacy to posterity. The pride of
the Spaniards is vast and ludicrous.
Their strength has been bluster for
centuries. Little Holland, with less
than three myiions of people, fought
Spain, one generation taking up the
fight where the last had left it, until
Philip III. begged for an armistice.
They are unable even to subdue Cuba.
Poor, famished Cuba! What a pathet
ic farce is this, that the grandees of
Spain, with their armies, should be suc
cessfully resisted by a few brave isl
anders whose ranks are decimated by
slaughter, famine and plague!
“We, on the contrary, have been de
rided as ‘a nation of shopkeepers and
artisans.’ Our glory is in the truth
of that imputation. Alas! for us, when
we consent to look on labor with Span
ish eyes! If war must be declared
against Spain—which God forfend—let
us rejoice that a call for volunteers
would be answered as it was when
Lincoln made his historic appeal for
a hundred thousand more, not by
volunteers from the street corners and
the drawing rooms, but from the fields
and the work shops. Here is the source
of our greatness; here is the hope of
our perpetuity. The true American is
neither the alms-taker nor the gentle
man of leisure.”
The Real Article.
The towns of Horton and Richmond,
Texas, contain feudal factions, who
style themselves the “Reedbirds” and
the “Woodpeckers,” the Horton fac
tion being the “Reedbirds,” and that
of Richmond the “Woodpeckers.”
In order to demonstrate the brother
ly love that exists between them, they
have formed the most delightful habit
of shooting one another on sight.
Occasionally, when a certain member
of either faction has consumed more
firewater than is absolutely good for
him, he goes to Richmond, or Horton,
as the case may be, on an errand of
destruction, and the chances generally
are that before the sun sets he is a
fit subject for the Coroner.
Spurville is the name of the place
that lies just between these two bellig
erent townships, and is a general head
quarters for the section men of the
Texas and Pacific Railway, who in
Texas are more familiarly known as
“Snipes.”
It so happened that one day Mickey
O’Rourke, one of the section men, was
sitting on a barrel of dynamite, com
placently smoking his pipe, utterly un
conscious of his close proximity to the
happy hunting grounds, when he was
surprised by a big, burly fellow, who
swaggered up to him with his vest
open and his hands on the buts of two
very formidable looking guns.
“What are ye?” he demanded, gruf
fly—“A Reedbird or a Woodpecker?”
“Am I phwat?” asked Mickey, not
ing that his interlocutor was unsteady
on his feet and at the same time slow
ly edging around for his own gun.
“Phwat was it you said?”
“I asked yer if you wuz a Reedbird
or a Woodpecker!” shouted the other,
"And yer want to answer me blamed
quick, too!”
By this time Mickey had reached his
gun, so he said:—“Shure, Oi’m nather;
Oi’m only a Shnoipe, but”—and, pull
ing quick, he got the drop on his man
—“Oi’m a burrud just the same!”
And the other had to admit that he
was.
The Czarina’s Odd Picture.
As almost everybody knows, the
Czarina of Russia has followed the
homely, old-fashioned custom of nurs
ing her own children, a thing without
precedent among royal ladies.
A short time ago an English illus
trated paper published a picture of the
Czarina nursing the little Grand Duch
ess, and when the paper passed
through the hands of the Russian Cen
sor he was in doubt as to whether he
ought to let it pass. To picture before
tlffe Russian people the Empress in this
motherly attitude seemed to him to be
altogether unnecessary.
The Censor took the paper to the
Minister of the Interior, who also was
thrown into doubt.
The Minister, in order to make no
mistake, called the attention of the
Czar himself to the matter.
Said Nicholas: “I will show it to
the Empress and let her decide
whether the picture shall be seen in
Russia.”
He took it to the Empress and a few
minutes later returning, said smiling:
“The Empress finds nothing in the
picture contrary to law. Let it pass!”
Cvery Jap Haz a Tree.
At the birth of a Japanese baby a
tree is planted, which must remain un
touched until the marriage day of the
child. When the nuptial hour arrives
the tree is cut down, and a skillful
cabinetmaker transforms the wood into
furniture, which is considered by the
young couple as the most beautiful of
all ornaments of the house.
