LIVE BLOCK NOTES.
Those packers at Kansas City
will have to elevate their plants j
if they would be safe from over-
flow by the treacherous Kaw.
YYhjle your horses are resting
pullthe collars away from the
shoulders, just as you take off
your own coat and open your
shirt front to obtain ease.
If you can’t raise pure bred
stock at least keep high grades.
The scrub is out of date and if
you stick to them you also will
be out of date.
The balking of horses is nearly
always caused by overloading.
If they once conti act the habit
it is hard to break.
Don’t give animals more than
t hey can properly digest. This
is a mere waste of feed and suc-
cess consists iu producing the
best animals at the least possi-
ble cost.
Give your brood mares
strength-producing food rather
than that which makes fat.
A farmer should aim to pro-
.duce his own feed and avoid buy-
ing if possible.
Sheep are particular about the
quality of their feed, being in fact
more dainty in-this respect than
an\ other animals.
It should go almost without
the saying that an animal, to
grow, develop and be profitable
must be kept iu good "flesh and
thriving. If impoverished in
flesh it will not grow or mature
and the maintenance will be-at
a loss of feed, interest on the'
money invested iu it, and the
lime of the owner.
The wise breeder knows how
to avoid waste of feed, either in
its preparation, in its consump-
tion or in selecting the most
economical kind to be used un-
der existing circumstances. The
stock of itself will improve rapid-
ly ;n quality as the result of se-
lectiug the best and discarding
the poorest animais on tlie farm.
Hogs, as a general thing, thrive
better on sweet foods than oil
those that have been fermented
or soured. Apples are excellent
for them as a tonic and aid to
digestion, and this is the reason
for turning them into the or-
chard to eat fallen fruit.
it is ea sy to see that the great-
est profit is to be gained by
bringing stock to maturity as
quickly as possible and at the
least possible expenditure.
After learning what is best to
feed, the next most important
tlmg is to arrange conveniences
to make the watering and feed-
ing easy.
The most unfailing sign that
any animal is out of condition is
lack of appetite. It is natural
for them to eat with enjoyment,
and if they do not, it is safe to
conclude that the are unwell. Be
careful, however, not to resort
to ill considered or drastic treat-
ment, but study conditions ancl
admiuiter right remedies.
Senator Harris forecasts the
period when the good cow aud
the superexcelleut calf will popu-
late the landscape instead of the
bovine horde of worthiness now
stampeding shamble wards. He
does not forecast a cattleless
region ease of the Missouri, but
a rehabilitating of the great cen-
tral states with a class of cattle
corresponding to the human
population. The pure bred live
stock growers of the United
States are, aecordiug to the
Harris idea, on the verge of the
greatest opportunity ever offer-
ed them.
POULTRY NOTES.
Mixed with soft feed powderrd
charcoal aids digestion.
For fattening use cooked food
chiefly. It digests more easily
and completely.
Slacked lime should be sprin-
kled over the places most fre-
quented by the fowls.
Market your poultry as soon
as it is fat. Accept the price as
it is-at that time.
Bv keeping the sitting hens
dusted with insect powder, the
danger of the chicks having lice
on them is avoided.
Don’t let your bens get over-
fat. This injures their value as
layers aud the eggs they do lay
are not apt to hatch well.
For bleeding purposes you
should use only the strong and
perfect fowls. Cull out the crip-
ples and deformed and weak.
Don’t allow young chicks to
run in the wet grass, and when
the weather is cold enough to
chill them keep them under
cover.
It pays the farmer to keep tur-:
keys. They are excellent as in-
sect exterminators, to say noth -
ing of their value as food.
Healthy fowls are early risers
and delight in foraging. Over-
fat chickens become lazy, take
no exercise and thus acquire
disea.se.
If you expect good prices you
must have good stock to offer.
No one wants inferior poultry
any more than inferior beef or
pork.
The over crowding of young-
chicks in summer is the worst
mistake that can be made in
poultry raising aud causes more
loss than any other. Give them
plenty of room.
Hens require a. great deal of
water, drinking ofteii Put. a little
at a time. Bee, therefore; that
an abundant supply7 is always
within reach and that it is clear
and fresh.
Ducks grow twice as fast as
chickens, are free from vermin,
less liable to disease and produce
eggs abundantly. For these rea-
sons they are by many preferred
as more profitable to produce
for market than chickens.
Successful poultry’raising may
be summed up in the kuowiedge
of keeping the fowls healthy.
What leads to that result is
wisdom and means profit. The
best doctor Is be who knows how
to keep his patrons well, rather
t han he who has to physic them
to get them well. The same ap
plies to the chicken raiser.
It is a curious fallacy that the
brown colored egg is necessarily
superior to the ordinary7 white
egg, a belief that has led to the
practice of of artificially color
ing the later in imitation of the
former- It is doubttul whether
the color of the shell bears any
relationship to the nourishing
quality of the egg as those who
rear poultry, know it is merely
an indication of the strain of the
laying bird.
John Kinzie of Kansas, who
has been troubled recently with
violent choking sensa.tions dur-
ing the night, today became very-
ill and coughed up a live toad,
fully an inch iu length. Seized a
moment later with another at-
tack of nausea he spat out
auotber toad , a trifle larger than
the first, arid both very much
alive. A physician said Kinzie
had drunk water containing tad-
poles, which had developed into
toads. ^

A sudden fit of sneezing has
caused the death of Rose Biggio,
a candy maker,,. The girl was
dressing at her home in Roose-
velt and, after the custom of her
sex, had several pins in Inn-
mouth, suddenly she was seized
with and irresistible desire to
sneeze. With the drawing of
her breath the largest of the
pins—brass one with black head
—slipped down her throat, lodg-
ing in the achea. An incision
was made in the girl’s throat
and the windpipe was opened
by the doctors, but in some man-
ner the pin slipped ftotn its posi-
tion and could uot be removed.
A second operation followed and
the same thing happened again
the pin dropping still further
down , this time into the left lung.
Oedema of the lung set in and
the girl died in less than three
days.
