A government report says of it: This annual leguminous I'laut is a native of Asia, It has been cultivated for about 50 years in some parts of Europe, especially southern Hussia, Germany and France, and was introduced into this country for the jh-s.t time about 1847 under tie name of Siberian vetch. Excellent reports as to its drought-resisting qualities and ir-s adaptability to our climate, have been received from Washington, Xe- It Is Small and That Is Why Ray and Other Bulky Fooda Should Be Fed Syurlnarly. Where hay is plentiful, as it is cn ' most farms, the fact that the horse has a small stomach seems to be forgotten, j Where on the contrary hay is scarce j and high as in the large cities the feed ing of hay i3 much better understood. To allow any working horse to eat hay ad libitum is positive cruelty in that it is injurious to the horse, as this animal is not provided with a large storage ap paratus as- is the cow for the stowing away of fodder by the hundred pounds. This being the case a great quantity of hay consumed by a working- horse, say at the noon hour, merely becomes a bur den and eventually leads to indigestion. Hay is not digested in the stomach (which in the horse holds but three and a half gallons) but in the large in testines to which also most of the water goes when imbibed, passing throup-h the stomach and of course washing out part of the solid contents present in foil -IHs ) GOOD GATE LATCHES.

On farms where peo ple rise very early hay may be fed with advantage in small quantity if given say at five a. m. and the cats ration at six a. m., as time has been given for the aay to pass into the intestines. Ther fan, however, be no advantage in feed ing hay at noon as the working horst sp.nnot digest it but carries it around at work until evening comes, when it nn be taken care of by the digestive apparatus. The proper time to allow a full feed of hay is at eight o'clock at night, two hours after the horse has eaten his oats, and so far as hard worked' horses are concerned, and more especially in the heated term of mid summer, this is the only time hay should be allowed. It is absurd and det rimental to allow any horse to stand and "hog" hay all day long, and worse still if dozenc of ears of com are added to the ration. Even an idle horse needs but little hay not over 14 pounds per day where other good foods are given. The horse's stomach is small, as has been said, and he needs and should have concentrated food in small quan tities at short intervals. We seldom find a case of "heaves" appear in a city barn where horses are properly man aged.

Ore serious Iet;k cn a great many farms is the-buying of machinery and then leaving it exj.iifced in ail kinds of weather. 1 have in mind a farmer who has a self-binder, corn planter, sulky plow, walking piow, two cultivators, j two top buggies and two wagons, and he leaves them standing out in all kinds of weather. I consider this a serious leak and there are many farmers who do the same thing. Another leak on many farms is a iack of proper shelter for stock. I know men who let their milch cobs stand out in all kinds of weather and then feed 30 per cent, corn to warm them np. Another leak is the very prevalent one of feedicgyoung stock a ration that will timply main tain them during the winter. Many times we see calves ar.d coil that are not ten pounds heavier in the spring than they were at the beginning of winter, and practically ali the feed they vonsumed during the winter wan lost. I once asked a farmer who this plan how much he thought his calves had gained during the winter. He replied that they had not gained anything except age, but they were five months older. 1 fail to see where the 12 months' calf that will weigli S00 pounds has any advantage over the seven months calf of the same weight. To feed five months without any gain is a serious leak and one that is too common with many farmers. Another leak that is so common that it is the rule rather than the exception is the wasting of manure. All manure made on the farm should be spread on the fields, especially on the poor spots. Still anotner leak is to try to farm too much 7 1 .1 j i iauu, auu consequently grow more weeds than corn. I know one man who grew less than 25 bushels of corn per acre this year on account of under taking too much; the weeds took the corn. The same man has 40 acres of rough land that has a good bluegrasa sod. He is going to break it up for corn in the spring, and that will be a serious leak on his farm, for he has more land under plow now than tie can attend to, and he will only grow more weeds and lose the 40 acres of grass be sides. Then another leak is keeping any kind of stock after thev have passed their prime and begin to go down. L. L. Hardman, in Prairie Farmer. Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys.

Delightful to u many sections where millet is rown for fodder and hay horses are troubled with a so-called disease that is- characterized by a de rangement of the urinary organs and -rmi)tc:ns resembling rheumatism. The aet:on of the- kidneys is increased, often being accompanied by a sup pression of the urine. "The joints, par ticularly of the hind legs, are swollen r:r.d infused with blood, the texture of the bone is destroyed, becoming soft and less tenacious, in consequence cf which the muscles and the ligaments .-.re easily torn loose. In all cases lameness, and in many instances fe ver, also occur, and a considerable number result fatally. That the trouble is caused by millet hps been proved bej'orid question by many experiments, such as changing the animal's diet from millet to hay rind then back to millet after a few weeks. In every case, unless too far advanced, the symptoms disappeared when ordinary hay was fed, and re turned when the change was made back to millet. The specific property that causes the trouble has not yet been discovered. But experiments i-.lrow that the affliction is not due, as in the case of crimson clover hair balls, to the age of the crop when cut, since the symptoms appear as often when the plants are harvested mature iis when immature. The only recom mendation that can be made is to feed nillet sparingly, either in alternation with other hay or mixed with them. M. G. Kains, in Farm and Fireside. SHEEP ON THE FARM.

To remove burs from the wool in sheep, the, better way is to remove the burs from the pasture lot before they mature sufficiently to adhere to the wool. Once they are in, a hard task is on to displace them. There are three ways whereby they can be removed. One is to pick them out with the fingers holding the wool in such a manner not to pull it direct from the roots, and pull the wool di rect from the bur and allow it to drop from the fleece. Another way is to take a pair of sheep shears and clip the wool directly underneath them; this, however, is wasteful. Another method would be to take a pair of long pointed tongs and introduce them between the sheep's body and the bur, "grasp firmly, then with a cord or long toothed currycomb rake them out. R. Logan, in Farm and Home. Prices are going up all ovr the coun try. Agricultural products are in good demand at home and abroa-d', at better prices generally than for the average of the past ten years-. This means more money for farmers, to pay their debts, and to supply their household and farm needs. K they pay off their mortgages, and other indebtedness, capitalists will save more money for which they will be seeking investments. If they buy new tools, new clothing or furniture, carriages or pianos, that means more business and larger profits for manufacturers. This again should bring more steady employment and bet ter wages for the workingman. Per haps th? wages may advance more slow ly than will suit some of them, for not every manufacturer or employer feels confident that this- improvement in the business outlook is to be a per manent one, but we think that we may now look for ten or twenty years of higher prices, higher wages and abun dant prosperity, until people get reck less and begin to feel thru they are safe in expending more than their income or spending it in advance.
