** A Fin* Hard of Cattle on Qood Grazing Can*.
(By U M. BENfUNOTON.)
There Is a time between corn cat
On* time and the cloie of the pasture
season when the cows need and should
have some form of succulent foods.
The frost will hare spoiled the un
cut corn for that purpose, therefore It
is a good plan to sow oats and -peas
for the purpose of supplying the de
fect and keeping up the flow of milk.
Once a cow is allowed to shrink In
her milk flow, It will be eery difficult
to bring her up again. Corn will" help
keep up the" flow until frost comes,
when It should go Into tfao silo, and the
oats and peas which the frost do not
Injure much will take the place of the
corn.
It is the common practice to yiow
the cows to go dry longer than .it la
desirable. Much depeudtp upon the
indlYlduality of the cow. /
More winter work by the, rows will
make the dairy more profltabla Why
should a farmer shut up his dairy
shop Just as soon as winter comes T
There is no economy In allowing the
cows to go dry three our four months
right In the season when milk Is bring
tot nearly twice the price that It
brings during the summer.
The cows mast work in the winter.
Just as their owner does if they are tor
be profitable.
Some will want to go dry tour
months, some less, and some not at all.
but every cow will need n season of
rest of at least a month or six weeks.
It will be better for her and her on
born calf.
Bweet corn is better than common
field for soiling purposes, btft it Is not
adapted for the silo on account of de
veloping too much acid.
If a dairyman la going to feed his
stalks dry, sweet corn Is better than
the field corn; but that Is too expen
sive a way to feed com fodder. Its
place is In the.silo, therefore It Is best
to plant field corn. r.
It la Impossible to combine in any
cow or in any breed, all the desired
qualities each developed to Its
highest extent
The man who Is breeding his cows
along the line of beef and butter
production Is bound to lose at one and
what he gains at the other.

CROPS SUITED FOR ROTATION
Use of Alfalfa With Potatoes Ques
tionable Owing to Dleesee Car
ried Over on Its hoots.
Alfalfa has usually been considered
a good crop to use in any rotation
where potatoes are grown. Its use,
however, has become questionable ow
ing to the fact that Rhlzoctonia may
be carried over to the potato crop oa
the roots of alfalfa. This Is equally
true of other leguminous crops such as
peat, beans, end clovers. The le
gumes are also Infested with eelworm
when the soil In which they are plant
ed contains this parasite.
The crops which are least likely to
carry any ot the potato diseases are
barley, oat*- corn, buckwheat, broom
corn, rye' grass, hemp and celery.
Onions are affected with Fusarjum,
and It has been noticed that "jelly

WHEAT IN THE COTTON BELT
Beardless Varieties May Wall Be

- In those section! of the cotton bait
where wheat la little grown the re
sults of tests by the experiment sta
tions seems to Indicate that some Of j
the beat Yarletiea are: Blue Stem, or 1
purple straw; Red May; Fultx, and
Fulcaster. Since all varieties are like
ly to suffer from rust, under unfavor
able weather conditions tips first three
varieties, being beardless, are there
fore, probably more satisfactory for
hay, says Progressive Farmer. The
beards are probably less objectionable
than generally thought In the South;
but as the beardless varieties are
probably as good In other respects
they may be well given the preference
lor southern use.
Where the hesalan fly Injures wheat
It la generally necessary to delay sow
ing until after or about the time of
the first killing frost Where the fly
does no damage somewhat earlier sow
ing Is advlsgble. 81nce wheat does
much better on a clay or clay loam
.soil than on sandy soil, wheat should
probably be largely confined to the
northern portions of the cotton belt,
where this type of soil predominates.
In these portions of the cotton belt
the average dates of killing frost are
from the Jatter part of October to the
middle of November.
In these sections wheat should be
sown from October It to November 1.
The cooler the weather, the poorer
the land and the lees damage from the

Widespread Treatment of Different

(By P. W. MOORS.)
We bare at different tlmea bad oc
casion to observe Injuries to sbade
trees brought about by rartoua causes,
In many cases resulting from treat*
ment applied by careless or Ignorant
PS re nns .. The present widespread
treatment of different pests has mads
necessary the testing of many reme

be more Injurious than the Jpeats

but by other* who are reckles* to the
point of Beemlng to delight to taking
cha&ces.
Many kind* of oil* have been used
for apraylng lnaect peat*, some of
which hare proved reliable and other*
Injurious. Kerosene oil can be used
on some plant* under certain condi
tions without causing injury, whtle In
other cases It will kill them. We have
seen quite a few shade trees killed
by spraying with kerosene and water
to exterminate woolly aphis; the oil
?oaked Into the bark, reached the
cambium and sapWood, destroying the
tissue. l/
Gas oil, a heavy oil used th the
manufacture of water gas, Is very in
jurious to trees when used as a spray.
A few years ago several hundred
shade trees were severely Injured In
one of the eastern cities by spraying
t%? trunks with this oil to kill clusters
of gipsy moth eggs, It being used with
out any knowledge whatever of its
adaptability to this purpose.
Ordinary house paint has some
times been used on smooth-bark trees
with great Injury. ? T'
Occasionally commercial oils used
for spraying fruit trees for the San
dfcse" scale cause local Injury, and
some shade trees have been known to
be affected by their use.
Oils and other materials to keep
down the dust in roadbeds are now
much In use, and we have observed
some Injury from, this source, when
the trees were Ideated close to the
highway and the buttresses of the
roots were exposed.
Salt used on sidewalks, in gutters
and trolley lines In winter has been
known to Injure the root systems of
trees. Arsenate of soda, potassium
cyanide and other chemicals are ex
tremely poisonous to trees and will
cause death. '
Selection of Cows.
Extreme care is necessary In se
lecting cows, for no amount of skill
In feeding and handling will stimulate
a profit from a truly poor cow. A
good dairy cow is one with a large
capacity for using food*" above the
maintenance requirement and one
that uses this food for milk pro
duction.
In determining the most desirable
breed, one must consult his own likes
and dislikes first The man who likes
a Holstetn cow and dislikes a Jersey
will be more successful with the for
mer.

It it a too common practice to tell
the boar when the season la over rath

Is largely reaponetble tor email lit

Hare a email yard with grass, if

FARMER OWNS HIS EQUIPMENT
Often Happens That It Would Ha More
- Economical to Hire From Others
?Interesting Data.
(By a U MACDONALD. Colorado Asrlcul
tural Collet?.)
The writer Is of the opinion, that
many a farmer Is tempted to purchase
his own equipment when In reality it
would be more economical to hire from
others.
Let us endeavor to ascertain how
many acres of grain a farmer should
cut as his annual average before the
purchase of a self-binder Is Justifiable.
We assume the following data:
Initial cOst of binder '. .'. .<140.00
Annual depreciation. 8 per cent, first
year U.JO
Annual rate of Internet, 1 pea cent... t.SO
Annual repairs *... 5.00
Cost of twine per acre 10
Horse labor per near .11
Man labor per hour ..." 15
Assuming that one man and three
horses with a six-foot bidder can cut
1< acres In ten hours, we deduce that
cost of lsbor per acre Is SO cents.
As against thesf Items let us sup
pose that the fanner could hire the
grain cut for one dollar per acre.
The above data gives ue the conclu
sion, by elementary algebra that a
man should cut as average of <5 acres
annually before the purchase of a
binder,will save blm money.
IMPROVED SOIL FOR ALFALFA
Certain Precautions Must Be Observed
In Eaeterrt Sections Before Eitab
llehlng the Plant.
Although established with compara
tive ease In almost any section of tha
West, there are certain precautions
which must be observed In the East
ern and humid states before alfalfa
will "catch." The first of these Is per
haps that of determining whether or
not the soil Is acid. Alfalfa will not
grow In a sour soil. To determine
If the soil Is acid, press a handful of
the soil around a little strip of blue
litmus paper?a special kind of pap^f
which any druggist can supply?and
altow It to remain tor an hour or so.
If the blue litmus paper turns pink,
the soil Is add; It the paper remalnr
blue, the soil eontalty no acid.

Tho record of Peter** failure 1* a
ead (tory. Hark, who received hi*
Cospel from Peter, (Iro* It In clear
outline. Thl* suggests that Peter did
not spar* himself.
' I. After Paeeover Foaet, w. 2741.
On the war to OUret Jeiu* warn* the
disciple* that all would be "offended"
(caused to stumble) because of what
was about to occur. Not one escaped.
Matt. 28: M, Zech. 18.7. Peter, assured
In bis own mind, denies that thl*
should be true of him, so oonfldgnt
was he of himself and of his dsrotlon.
Over - against this warning Jesus
sounds the note df his resurrection,
and It was chiefly In their Inability
to catch, or comprehend this notv, thgt
tbey (tumbled. Particularly Is this
true of Peter. That Jesus could found
a church on the vulgar tragedy of A
criminal's death was beyond the rang*
of bis understanding. This self-con
fidence was the beginning of his fall,
Prov. Id: 18. It Is pride like this
which men have In their own strength,
that Is the chief, reason why they are
not saved. If tbey are able to care
for themselves, why do they need the
belp of another T , .
"* Peter"* Denial*.
' Peter trusted his own heart. A man
I* a fool who will trust such a deceitful
member, Jer. 17:9, Protr. 28:26.
Pgter"e loud profeeelon la answered by
a definite prophecy of his utter fail
ure, ?. 30. "Before the cock shall
crow twice, thou shall deny me
thrice." Again Peter contradicts the
Lord. "1 will not deny thee." Peter's
later denial of the person of Jesos in
the judgment hall Is prefaced by a
denial of his master's assertions on
the way thither. He had to learn wis
dom and humility In the bitter school
of experience. ,Peter Is quite like us
all, but he did learn and profited there
by (I Peter 3:6), which cannot be
said of an of ua.
II. Fallowing Afar Off, w. 53, 54.
Peter "followed afar" into the court
of the high priest's palace. We hare
suggested (Lesson of Not. 1st) that
seal and affection prompted Peter, yet
he was expressly forbidden and fore
warned, John 13:36-33^ Some one has
said that the development of Peter"*
weakness began In the harden when
he ceased to prajr. That"\courtyard
and its brailer of coals was il danger
ous place for ahy disciple of the. Lord.
The servants and soldiers of the pow
ers against Christ were congregated^
about that first, It Is never safe to
warm oneself m the enemies' fir*
though we see It constantly being
done. Matt. ?:1S; Pa 1:1.
III. "I Know Not This Man," w. 66
72. While at (he fire, a serving maid
looking at Peter said, "Thou also wast
with the Nasarae, even Jesus." Im
mediately and without any seeming
hesitancy' Peter denied, and declared
his Ignorance both of the ten and of
understanding what she sjk. Peter
did not sympathise with what was be
ing done to Jeens, but at heart he was
not brave enough to separate him
self from the enemies 'of Jesus thereby
to draw upon himself some sort of
censure or condemnation. Thus con-,
forming to the world about him made
It easy for Peter to utter his first
note of denial. Hpving done so he
passed on Into the porch and heard
the first crowing of the cock. The
apparent contradiction between Mark
and the otljer writers over the ques
tion of the number of maids seemr
to bjs solved by John 13:15. where
reference Is made to several who
spoke at the same time. Doubtless
the words of the first maid are re
enforced by those of another on the
second occasion: they both brought an
accusation .against him.1
spseen Betrayed Knar.
.This second maid addressing the
onlooklng spectators said, This Is one
of them," and again Peter denies the
accusation He had escaped one pre
dicament only to be plunged into an
other and perhaps more dangerous
one. To deny afresh seemed to be
the only way of.esoape, James 4:4; I
Cor.. 15:32 R. V< A few words of a
serving maid filled Peter with dis
may but a second denial Bid not de
liver him from his predicament After
a little those standing with him de
clared he must be one of the follow
ers of Jesus, for his speech betrayed
him to be a Galilean. Then Peter
touched the bottom, for he ? accom
panies his denial with curses and
oaths. One of the principal uses of
profanity Is to emphasise a lie and
the larger the lie the more profuse the
profanity. Again ho hears the cock
orow. Mark says nothing about the
look of the master and seems to as
sociate Peter's weeping chiefly with
the effect produced up his memory by
what the master had said. The mem:
ory of those words banished Peter's
disloyalty and cowardice, filled him
with remorse pnd shajne and turned
htm to tears Of bitterness and repent
ance. The memory of his own act
and the evident dashing of his Mes
sianic hopes of Jesus, plunged him
Into the depths of dtspalr.
From his high and exalted state of
Bttfid, his high hopes as to Jesds, he
sees himself a traitor and Jesus about
to be crushed by the hand of man.
Peter was passionately devoted to
Jesus and had- felt that he could go
with him to the limit Once before
at Caesarea-Phlllppt Peter had been
warned. He had, been mystified by
what Jesus said about the cross and
had protested. He had high and nobis
aspirations but they serried him be
yond the limits of his permission Into
danger and defeat

added to those of the hitherto more or leee permanent dwellers In Europe,
will come pretty near filling all of Washington's houses In which the visitors
would care to live.
There were twice as many vacant houses facing the avenues and streets
of wealth last winter than there were the winter before. WhyT The reason
Is a curious one, but that It Is the right one cannot be doubted. There are
more rich Republicans la the United States than there are rich Democrats.
Many of these rich Republicans have retired from business. Under Repub

dreamt of avarice.
Mr. Ailea la In receipt of a letter
from Forreat W. Brown, an attorney
at law hi Charleetown, W. Vs., Jn
which la laid down the tentative- plan
for the accumulation of vaat richee,
the establishment of a rattleanahe
farm. Mr. Brown writes:
1 tried a case two or three years
ago In Morgan county. Involving the
title to several thousand acres of land.
which cue wiuien described u not being worth anything lexcept to raise rat
tlesnakes on. I succeeded In getting a Mgmeu' in favor of my client. Than
an aid friend of mine Inserted In a New York paper a communication In /
which he said that I had acquired a large tract of land In Morgan county,
and had organised a corporation tor the purpose of raising rattlesnakes " ~
/ This, according to Mr. Brown, was the beginning. Many letters followed
from all quarters, tlx porting companies In New York and New Jersey want
ed to make arrangements to take all the rattlesnake skins that could be fur
nished. They would tan them. In case Mr. Brown lacked the facilities. The
shins were wanted "tor export trade to Farts and London. ? ?
"I had letters from a number of friends." continues Mr. Brown, "stating
that they wanted me to reserve large blocks of stock tor them. I.think that
If 1 had taken all these offers I would have bad |1.000.000,000 worth of stock
In the enterprise by now. But It all tailed because I could not find a general _
manager. Kindly write and tell me whether /on will accept, so that the
great enterprise can be Inaugurated and continued with success."
"When asked as to h&lntentlons, Mr. Alles spoke regretfully of the press -
of engagements in duier fields of endeavor. He said, however, that It re
quired no fertile Imagination to grasp the Immense possibilities In the plan.
In fact, he was of the opinion that It beat Col. Mulberry Sellers' eyewater
scheme all hollow. With the eyewater there was a natural limit, dependent
upon the exact number of ophthalmic Chinamen, in the case of the rattle
snakes, however. It was altogether different. There was the skin, to begin
with, following which were various by-products almost toe numerous to men
tion. Rattles for babies was one that occurred offhand.
