There is no better feed for young ducks than bits of food from the kitchen. 1 They are, perhaps, the best balanced food that can be obtained for all kinds of fowls. In choosing a male bird, size and shape should be given special consider- ation. He should possess a large frame, be clean and tall'onthe legs and active in habits. This is a very gord time of year in which to get a little "cementing" done. You can soon find something "around the place" to which concrete construc- tion might be applied.

Errors are quite common in the drenching of a horse. First one should understand that medicine must never be given by way of the nostrils, says A. S. Alexander, M. D. C., in the Farm Journal. So administered it will be certain to Cow into the lungs and cause fatal pneumonia. We have known of horses killed in this way. The right way to drench a horse is ad follows: Back bits into a stall; then he cannot back away. Put a running noose In a soft half inch rope, cotton preferred, and place the noose around the upper incisor (pincher) teeth, just inside of the upper lip. Have the knot of the rope come directly in the middle of the front of the upper jaw. ThroW the free end of the rope over a beam well above the Horse's head. Raise the head high and bold It there with the noose and rope. Get the bead high enough to prevent medicine from running out of the mouth, but do not pail it up se high that the horse will be unable to swallow comfortably. Stand on a chair or box so that the right hand bolding the bottle may insert the neck of the bottle into the right side of the mouth. Then pour in a couple of ounces of medicine and let the borse swallow that before more is given. Do not grasp and squeeze the horse's throat This makes it difficult or impossible for him to swallow. Tic- kle the roof of the mouth with the neck of the bottle or fingers and swal- lowing usually will occur. If not. thee pout' n teaspoonful or so of cold water into the nostril and the medicine win? be gulped clown at once. Be sure that the medicine Is not se strong that it will burn the mouth. 1311 certain that It is the right medicine to give. It always Is well to go slow in drenching a horse.

Among the beef breeds of cattle Herefords occupy a prominent place. They are second to none as rustlers, and no healthier breed of cattle Is known. Ofliclal reports of got'ernment and state veterinari- ans, both in England and the Unit- ed States, show that for the past ten years but44 per cent of Here- fords responded to the tuberculin test, white other beef breeds had a much higher percentage. This breed Is noted for its early maturity and, for its ability to put on flesh under adverse circumstances. They are ' unexcelled in beef type, putting on flesh where it is most desired.

"We get the same girl to take care of nut babies whets we're away from home, and she's kept busy over there roily half of the time. It provokes me so to. have (0 be put off so often whet) I went tii'get away," --Chicago Itecord- tierald. because of the fact that the larger proportion of the fat that is now placed npon beef cattle is made through the use of corn which could be con- sumed in its original form without be- ing converted into meat. Our problem in the future will be very largely n study of how to make beef from feeds that are not in such condition they can be consumed by the human family. but trust be converted into it more concentrated product. This will necessitate the use of larger quantities of roughage and smaller quantities of grain in snaking animals that will be acceptable from the butch- ers' .standpoint. It also. means that cattle bred in such man- ner le must be t ner that they will have large capacity for feed and that they will mature for market without the excessively long feeding period. As an illustration of. this, we find that the average cost of a pound of gain on stocker calves fed at the Agri- cultural college last winter on feeds such as silage and alfalfa hay was about 3 2-3 cents per pound. This gain represented to a very large extent an increase in the production of lean meat rather than an increase in pure fat. While the calves at the close of the feeding experiment were not in the most desirable condition for slaughter, they were in ahnose ideal shape to go on to the grass and to con- tinue to make cheap and rapid gains from feeds that would otherwise have little commercial value. --Professor W. A. Corte!, Kansas Agricultural College. 'Where Ma Was Strict, Little Girl'--1Mfv mamma is awful stilet, las yolns?

The time of cutting cane and kale for silage is all important to making good silage from these crops. The crops should be practically mature— that is, the seed should be mature. At this time the stalk is still filled with sap and will mice good silage. if put up too green it twill snake sour silage.' The crops should be put up before frost if possible, but it is better to let the crop stand until after frost than to put it up toe green. After a heavy frost the crop should be eut and siloed immedintely. If it dries out too much sufficient water should he added t0 cause it to pack well.—Kansas F)xpert- in nit Station Circular. It is only the last few years that tho Brown Swiss have been ciassi- fled as dairy animals. Moreover, there are but very few of the breed and comparatively little known by the great rank and file of dairy- men. It can be said that many of the Brown swiss herds aro doing exceptionally good dairy work, and the owners are putting forth every effort to mance their cattle ranit among the most prominent dairy breeds. The breed is improving as a producer of butter fat, and the cows are being bred and fed to larger milk yields. A Brown Swiss. cow tested at the. Wisconsin exper- iment station as a five-year-old made In a year nearly 617 pounds of butter. The Brown Swiss cow shown is an excellent type of the breed. under the same conditions the heifers are now being brought up in. All the cows were undersize. Scarcely an ani- mal would weigh 1,000 pounds, and all of us know that such weight is ex- tremely light for a mature Flolstein. May we not reasonably consider that a cow that has grown to only three- fourtbs the size she might have been tins only three-fourths of the milk giv- ing ability? There is little scientific in- formation on this point, but is it not a logical conclusion? Another point re- garding these cows. Tho. owner asked me some time later what prices he could obtain for his cows in case he decided to close out. Summarizing my opiulou from, n very intim;tte knowl- edge of the market in the state, Imay say that the average price that buyers would pay him would be $25 below what large, well finished, attractive cows would bring. Let us consider another feature, the cost of keeping the !whist's through the third year. Under, a systetn that would keep them grotthing nicely from the start they could be expected to calve shortly after tw0 years of age. Thus one year. louger of feeding was requir- ed. My estimate ,is that it cost at least $25 under that man's method of han- dling to carry them through the third year. That $25, •if used in feeding more liberally during the first and sec- ond years, would bave gone a long way toward feeding the heifers' prop- erly. Then there is the extra care for three years instead of two, with the risk and depreciation on buildings used for shelter. Worms in Hoge.'

Contagious abortion In cattle has be- come the cause of such enormous loss- es and the source of so much annoy - mice to the stockmen of Wisconsin that special investigations to find a means of control or eradication bave been ettt•ried on dtit•Ing the last two years at the university of Wisconsin College of Agriculture. The results or these in- vestigations are so promising that the legislature has recently passed a law, which went into effect July I, making a small appropriation available for the use of the department of veterinary science to continue the work The iter portance or this work may he seen by the Net that careful observers place the annual loss to Wisconsin from Ude ono dieense at $3,500;000. With the inphi growth in the dairy industry the losses will certainly increase unless steps are taken to eonttol the malady. iixperlen0e has shown that the in- fected cow Is more dangerous in cont mindcttting the disease to other cattle than the herd bull. 'This fact has made it atpparent that protttlsanous inter. ehange of. teethe is a common wiry by which the tufectlon le spread from herd to herd.
