cattle have to be starved into eating it.
Only a very few sheep are needed when
pastured with cows to soon make the

closely on clover or timothy, de-
stroy these plants by eating down to the
roots, and if necessary, part of the roots
themselves. Neither sheep nor horses
should be pastured with cows unless the

of the one hundredth meridian, by a sys-

large portions ol this are can be

but the storage of this water will prob-
ably do something to prevent the Hoods,
which pour down the altlucnts of the
great rivers that thread our Western
plains. Congress bus been appealed to,

twenty inches a year. The canyons which
it is proposed to dam are deep and nar-

The use of a truck or a little wheel
under the end of the the draft plow beam gained
14.1 per cent, of ns an average
of the trials made, and in addition gave
a more uniform furrow nnd relieved the
plowman. 'Ibis saving can be made only
when the line of draft is right.
The use of the coulter, was, without
exception, nttended with a decided loss
of force or increased draft by whatever
form of coulter used, but was less with
the new style coulter than with the roll-
ing and old-fashioned coulter. The
! average gain of draft by dispensing with
the coulter was 1.5.0 per cent. The
coulter invariably disturbed the line of
1 draft, resulting in a furrow of did'erent
I dimensions from those formed without
it.

An authority on forest culture considers
American elm “the best and most
appropriate tree to plant in a village or
city, as it needs less trimming, is long-
lived, and arches over a street beauti-
fully. Perhaps good it is not quite so sym-
metrical nor as a shade tree as the
sugar maple, not being so thick, but in
many respects it is preferable, as the
maple, when trimmed, is spoiled of its
beauty and symmetry.”
fessor The Forties, Illinois f^tate has written Entomologist, to the Agri- Fro¬
cultural Board that he finds cut worms
more numerous this year through Con¬
tral and Southern Illinois than he has
ever known them before. The fact is
due, doubtless, to the dry weather of tho
last three years. The root web worm is
also cs|>ecially abundant, and likely to
join with the cut worm in doing serious
misetief when corn is planted after
grass.

Don’t Kill the Old Hen*.
When hens are shedding feathers they often
stop laying and grow fat. Most people consider
fat a sign of health. The fattening of moult¬
ing hens, however, as with some people, pro¬
duces debility rather than health. Many of
the worst cases of ronp are contracted, while
the hens aro moulting.
Tliefo'vdof moulting hens, if largely vege¬
table is fat-forming,and not required for grow-'
ing feathers. Therefore corn-fed liens get very
fat. They need more nitrogen and phosphate
elements in their food when moulting,which if
not supplied they stop laying, because the
growing feathers have used all, and left no ni¬
trogenous matter to form eggs. At this season,
killing old bens and relying on young pullets is
a great mistake, where people have afew hens
and late pullets. Because, if properly fed, the
hens will have their new plumage and lay well
all winter; while the pullets unless specially
t-eated may not commence laying until spring,
when high prices for eggs have fallen one-half.
Again an old hen’s egg will hatch a more vig¬
orous chickens than a pullet’s egg,

lay and the eggs hatch well. I find when the
