Gradually our live stock interests are working southward though they have not as yet reached in a very con siderable degree even the more south erly limits of what we are pleased to call the Northern States. We have noticed this gradual movement in Illi nois during the last ten years. At the present time a traveler in South ern Illinois is struck by the compara tively few cattle to be met with there, yet he will also notice that the num ber is much larger than it was a few years ago. Here and there stock farms have been established that are being looked up to by the farmers of the vicinity, most of whom have no stock to speak of. In the very south ern part of the state the writer passed one farm on which was a fine herd of Herefords. A man of the neigh borhood said: “Yes, Judge -* is beginning to get something from bis stock farm now, though for some years he put two dollars into It for every one he took out. But he was all the time bringing up his land. Now it is in fine condition. But then he was a judge and his salary helped run the farm.” This points a double lesson. First, tlat the belief must be inculcated into the /farmers of those sections that live stock is a good thing, and, second, that it takes capital to tide over the time when the live stock farm is be ing established, if all things are to be done at once and on a large scale. The southern parts of Illinois and In aiana have a climate and soil well adapted to the growing of live stock. The location i» not far enough south to endanger .he animals from Texas fever and is not so far north that beef cattle need much protection in winter. The growing or not growing of live stock is the difference between constructive and destructive farming. The presence of live stock helps to build up the land. Its absence fre quently results ,in depreciating It, though this is not absolutely neces sary. It is, however, the usual result and is likely to be for some genera tions to come. A Few Sheep. In looking over some reports of sheep on farms we are struck with the fact that in some of our states not one half of the good-sized farms carry any sheep. In the old days it was assumed that every farmer had at least a few sheep. We believe that to-day it would be better for the farms and better for the whole popu lation of the country if every farm had a small flock of sheep. It ap pears to us that a small flock of sheep could be kept in the summer time at least at almost no cost and with great benefit to the arable portions of the farms. The husbandman works to get the weeds out of ..is un^uie fields, but the whole length of the pasture fence is a mass of weeds on the side of the pasture and from their tops blow millions of weed seeds every year. The sheep would keep most of these weeds down and thus destroy the source from which the fields get their annual supply of weed seeds. One reason why farmers do not keep more sheep is that dogs are destructive to the flocks; but as these ravages occur generally in the night the trouble is obviated by penning the sheep at night. The matter of fences is another cause that deters some, but a fence that is hog proof and horse proof is generally sheep proof During the last few years there has been a steady decline in the sheep growing industry in every state ex cept one east of the Mississippi. This condition of affairs is profitable neith er to the nation nor the farmer. The Exact Food Required. It has been well demonstrated with in the last few years that many of our animals receive far more food than they require or than they can use to advantage. As a result some of our skillful feeders have cut down the grain they were feeding to steers five pounds and found they got as good results. We have taken it for granted that the more feed the animals ate the better it was for them, and the more force they were developing for their various needs. As well assert that it makes no difference how much fuel we use to do a certain amount of cooking. We know that in that case a vast amount of fuel can be absolutely wasted. One man that had a lahge number of stock to feed figured out the saving to himself in the feeding of oats. He made his figures on a hun dred head of animals and with oats at 40 cents per bushel. By feeding just the amount of oats required he saved one pound per head per day over what he had been accustomed to feed. This meant 100 pounds per day for all the animals, 365 pounds a year per animal and 36,500 pounds of oats during the year. This weight of oats, at 32 pounds to the bushel, was worth $456. That was pretty good pay for a little expenditure of thought. A little figuring and observation did the work. Care in Dressing Animals. In the dressing of any animal it is always well to consider that possibly it may be affected with tuberculosis or some other contagious disease. There is little danger of infection if there is no wound on the hands that can come into contact with the meat. A good many cases are on record where men have lost their lives by carelessness in this regard. Butchers are perhaps oftener the subject of such accidents than any others; and the amateur butcher is as certainly in danger as the professional. A Chi cago man reports as follows to the United States Bureau of Animal In dustry: G. E. W., Pole; age, 34; weight, 170 gpunds; healthy looking man; butcher by occupation. Family history nega tive. Father of three healthy chil dren. Has no recollection of having been previously sick. On May 3, 1899, while cleaning cattle viscera, he fell and a stationary meat hook upon whieh the hearts and lungs are hung penetrated through the right hand be tween the second and third metacarpal bones. A tendo vaginitis resulted, with some lymphangitis of the arm. He received the usual treatment for an infect-il wound tpd apparently made a good recovery, vith, however, some limited motion of the fingers and a sensitive scar at the site of puncture. Four months afterwards an abscess formed in the axilla, which was cleaned out and tut^*rcle bacilli were demonstrated in l>:e broken down gland tissue. At this time there was no soreness in the arm lymphatics or elbow gland, but he complained that there had been. In three months afterwards, or seven months from the original accident, he died from pulmonary tuberculosis. System in Feeding. Animals cannot get the best results from their feed unless it Is given them regularly and in quite uniform portions. Every farmer should have a regular system for the feeding of his farm animals, whether ani mals be the ones used for the (educ tion of meat and milk or for Ue pro duction of force to be expended in labor. Irregular meals are as bad for animals as for human beings. The di gestive systems adapt themselves to certain habits and seem to be as much opposed to irregularity as if they were sentient beings. On many farms there is no system of feeding and the results obtained are poor. One man will work his horses for hours beyond their regular meal times. During the last hour or so the animal is losing vigor rapidly. He is given food when his strength is partly exhausted. The stomach '■had not the vigor of digestion that it had at the regular eating time, and the result is more or less disarrangement, some times resulting in the imperfect diges tion of the food taken. This is a mat ter that every human being has ex perienced himself. The results are far more disastrous than we have been Ted to suppose. The fact is eas ier to establish than the reason for it. The cow, the pig, and the sheep, when depending on man to do the feeding fare best and thrive best when their food comes in accordance with a reg ular system. It is not so much a question of how many meals an ani mal has a day as of their regularity. Feeding Pigs and Hogs When Being Pastured. It Is always doubtful If it pays to try to feed swine on pasture alone, though this is often done. Pigs will make a growth on pasture, especially if it contains much clover; but we doubt if the farmer is getting as much out of it as he would be if he fed the animals an additional ra tion of a more concentrated feed. In a state of nature the animal is compelled to get its living from the herbage of the fields and from the roots in the ground, but in such a state it never develops enough flesh and fat to make it a profitable product for our meat trade. Its growth is then slow and its development mus cular. It becomes wiry. No one wants to eat meat from a wiry hog. So we have to swing away from na ture, and so feed that the texture of the flesh of the animal will be tender. To get this, quick growth is desired and this can only be obtained by push ing the development by the feeding ! of rations in addition to those ob tainable by the animal in the woods and fields. Pigs in Prison. In the older parts of the country it has been the practice to keep the pigs shut up from birth to maturity. A little pen in the barn was thought to be sufficient and sometimes there was even no yard for the pigs to run out in. The said pen was sometimes only six or eight feet square. Here the pigs were kept close prisoners. No wonder that troubles like thumps were common with pigs so treated, id some extent this practice still remains. There is no question that swine should be given room for exer cise, even if no pecuniary advantage can be figured from it. None of our farms are so small that there is not an abundance of room for the yard that should be connected with every pig pen. The larger the yard the better, and if it is large enough to be divided into sections in which green stuff may be grown alternately, it will be the more profitable. More Trophies for College Boys. The Union Stock Yards and Tran sit Company of Chicago has decided to offer two new trophies to take the place of the Spoor trophy, won per manently by the Iowa State College. One of these new trophies will be of fered for excellence in judging cattle, hogs and sheep, and the other will be awarded for judging horses. These trophies will be offered as prizes to students representing the various ag ricultural colleges of the United States and Canada at the coming In ternational Live Stock Exposition in Chicago the first week in December, and, in addition, it is expected that liberal cash prizes will be offered. Disinfecting Curing Rooms. Canadians that have charge of num bers of curing rooms follow the prac tice of washing the shelves with some disinfectant before putting on each batch of cheese. Both formalin and corrosive sublimate are used. The formalin is used at a strength of one part of formalin to ten of water and the corrosive sublimate at the rate of one part of the poison to 1,000 of wat^r by weight. The formalin is certainly less dangerous than the other. The object of the treatment is to prevent the development of mold spores, which make so much trouble in many of the places where cheese is ripened. A Manipulated Test. Reports from Vermont say that at one of the creameries in that state a little unpleasantness has been occa sioned by the discovery that two of the patrons had been working a slight-of-hand trick on the cream gatherer and had continually substi tuted test bottles filled with very rich cream for the bottles containing the samples o# cream from the prod uct of the patrons in question. One man had thus secured from the creamery payments in excess of a thousand dollars not belonging to him. At last the creamery officials began to suspect that something of tho kind was being done and laid a trap for these patrons. The two were caught at the trick- and means taken to se cure repayment of the money thus fradulentty secured. THE WEAK SPOT. A weak, a-ching back tells of sick kidneys. It aches when you work.

The Defiance Starch Co. will give 25 ladies a round-trp ticket to the St. Louis exposition to five ladies in each of the following states: Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missou ri who will send in the largest number of trade marks cut from a 10-cent, 16 ounce package of Defiance cold water laundry starch. This means from your own home, anywhere In the above named states. These trade marks must be mailed to and received by the De fiance Starch Co., Omaha, Neb., before September 1st, 1904. October and No vember will be the best months to visit the exposition. Remember that Defiance is the only starch put up 16 oz. (a full pound) to the package.

In the city of Smyrna there are factories that make thread yard, cal ico prints for head wear, boxes, etc.; there are flour mills, machine shops, carriage and cart factories, and a cigarette factory. None of the manu factured articles, with the exception of carpets, is exported. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don’t keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz in a package, which they won’t be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 os. instead of 12 os. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking.
