THE FARMING WORLD.

BRAN IS NUTRITIOUS.

LIVES ON STORED GRAIN.

THROAT PARALYSIS.

A NEGROS GRATITUDE.

A Mlrhlgitii Man TrIU Why lie Conuldert It the Cheapeet Feed. The feeding of coarsely ground wheat, bran and all, is in some measure an advance on the value of bran feeding, mixed with other foods. Hut there cannot be too much insistence on the value of bran mixed with other foods. Mr. W. C. RocUwood, in a recent contribution to the Michigan Farmer, refers to the subject: Hran is one of the very best of the grain foods for all kinds of live stock. In fact, its value is not half realized. Too many tanners and stock breeders think of it only in connection with bran mashes, more as a medicine than anything else. They consider it be useful as a laxative, and cooling to the avstem; but there its value ends. In reality it is of more value to the stock raiser than any other single food for all classes and conditions of animals upon the farm. It holds no ranit perhaps as fat producer; that is, not strictly speaking. In actual sound, healthy bone and muscle growing elements it is rich; and animals in thrifty, growing condition will always be fat to a certain extent, yet to an animal for the shambles something besides bran would be necessary without doubt. After years of feeding all kinds of grain feeds, both home grown and purchased, to ail kinds of stock which are usually kept on a farm, I have come to regard bran as a necessity, and consider it cheap at almost any figure. Without doubt it commands a higher price in market than it should, in view of the present low price of wheat, but in my estimation it is still the choicest feed a man can buy. I have made it one of the principal parts of the food for my pigs from weaning time until they are sold —with the exception of a few weeks finishing off on corn. L feed it to all breeding hogs, beingespecially good for sows suckling pigs. For young stock it is the standby, mixed partly with something else perhaps, such as ground barley or oats. For the horses it is excellent as a part of their rations at any time, and while not sufficiently heavy of itself for hard work, is good when fed with other grain. It keeps the bowels in good condition and there will be no trouble with colic. Some farmers feed straw to their horses in winter with corn meal as a grain food. Such horses get colic frequently, but if bran is given in connection with it there is no trouble, as the bran acts as a preventive of impaction in the stomach and bowels.— Prairie Farmer.

History of the (iraln Moth and How tw

Ilestroy the l*ara»lte.

This pest was originally imported from Europe by the early settlers of Virginia in their supplies of wheat brought from the old country. Once established on American soil, it has spread far and wide throughout the United States and is the most serious enemy to stored corn south of the wheat belt; Texas, perhaps, suffering more than any other state from its ravages. It attacks all stored cereal products, but corn and wheat are the principal grains affected. It is a serious pest in central Illinois and much unnecessary losa is incurred each season simply from a lack of informa-

MODEL SHEEP BARN. Just the Tiling for Farmers in the North and Northwest. The plan of sheep bhrn and yard shown herewith is one of the best models lor the sheep farmer in the cold north, as in the arrangement everything is convenient and well arranged. The long fodder can be fed from the feeding passages, but to feed the grain or roots the attendant must go into the pens among the sheep. This is done to insure his looking over the sheep, when any that are sick would be detected. The stone wall is plastered on the inside. The doors.

dies for its destruction.

The presence of this insect in corn can be easily detected by a little observation. The corn is light and is peppered full of little round holes about the size of a pinhead, the interior of the kernels having been eaten out by the young of the moth. Wheat when attacked is hollowed out in the same way, so that nothing is left but an empty shell. The parent insect is a small gray moth, resembling a clothes moth, and measures only about half an

inch with its wings spread.

It is represented in the figure at 0

and can easily be recognized by its satiny luster and by its much-fringed hind wings. The moth lays its eggs only upon hard grain and they are deposited both in the field ami in the granary. The eggs hatch in about a week and the young worms work their way into the grain (see F in the figure), where they feed about three weeks be

He finally went, ami we publish to-day his fall report. The Coulters are prominent |>eople, though Mrs. C. in response to the question whether sho objected to being interviewed, said: “Cer-

tainly not.” Her story follows:

“About 14 years ago we decided to take up our abode in Dover and everything went along smoothly for several ycurs, business progressed and being of u saving temperament we accumulated quite an amount. Our family increased us the years rolled by and we now have 5 children living; the oldest 15, youngest 3, but sickness made its way into our household, and doctors' bills flooded upon us, ui(t{l we have nothing left but our home, and these sweet children.

Of physicians.

“About 3 years ago I had a miserable feeling at the back of my ears, my right hand became paralyzed and Hie paralysis extended to my arm and tiirout, and would affect my head and eyes, sometimes for days 1 would lose my sight, my face was deformed, lifeless, as it were, my nose was drawn to one side and 1 presented a pitiable apperance and never oxiiecting toregain my natural facial expreasions. I employed the best physicians that could lie procured, expending thousands of dollars for their services but could not obtain relief. At last, they stated my case was beyond the reach of medical skill, and it would be but a short time until the end would come. Ttiis certainly was not very encouraging to me, but I never gave up hope. In connection with receiving the attendance of physicians 1 have tried every medicine known to the apothecary but never received any relief until Dr Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People came to my assistance.

The larvw are not destroyed by thrashing and are carried back into your granaries again. It is plain from these facts that if the granaries are kept free from this pest the shocks will not become infested in the fields. If the individual farmer, however, takes the trouble to disinfect his granary his wheat shocks will be infested from moths fly'ing from the barns of his neighbors, provided lie does not thrash very soon after harvest

The doors at the ends of the feeding passages next the Avails open into the passages and are hung in such a Avay that when sheep are being changed from one pen to another the doors prevent them from getting into the passageway. The floor of the feed room is made of cement and a root pulpcr and a stripper occupy one side of this compartment, while in another corner is a neat little cupboard for holding shears, sheep-dip, etc. A dipping trough and other appliances are stored away in convenient corners. A large inclosed water cistern lias been built tit one end of the root cellar, and hy means of a tap the hose water can be carried to any part of the building. —A. Campbell, Ontario, in Farm and Home. Better Than Condition Powdern. When an animal falls off in appetite and does not scorn to relish the food, some simple treatment will often bring it around, such as to give to a cow one pint of raw linseed oil. repeated the third day. Then give bran mash with one ounce of salt, half an ounce of ground ginger, and the same of sulphate of iron finely powdered. If the food is made up of good hay, cut and wetted, and a small handful of this mixture is given it will probably remove the trouble: A pound of linseed meal, four ounces of ground gentian root, the same of Peruvian bark, powdered, two ounces of anise seed powdered, one ounce of iodide of potassium and two ounces of carbonate of iron. All are mixed evenly and kept in a dry place, 'rhis is better than any of the common condition powders, and costs much less. The feed should bo given in small quantities, at four intervals In the day.—Rural World

MYTHS ABOUT BEES. A MinncHotii Farmer DispuN a Number of Popular IlliiKionH. Rees, said Farmer William Russell to a reporter for the Minneapolis Trile une, are just like human beings. When they are busy they are virtuous and peaceable; but when in idleness they become vicious, given to foolish actions that dissipate the strength of the colonies and make the work of the beekeeper twice as arduous. Last year the season ran so that the bees were busy all the time. The blossoms came in rotation and the bees always had something to do. They madfc honey very fast and the business was pros-

perous.

This season there has been less honey to gather and the bees, with nothing to busy themselves upon, have devoted their time to frolic and idleness. The old rhyme, •' How iloth the busy boo Improve each shlnlnif hour—’’ is all nonsense. The bees are marvels of thrift and industry when they have work to do, but they can be quite as foolish as men. The talk of the “idle drone” is another foolishness that lias crept into the language through ignorance. The drone is the male bee. He has no business to gather honey; his function is altogether different and quite as important as that of the worker. Ho is the father of the hive, and when his work has been performed lie is killed I off as useless. lOnrlohlng For^Ht Fitmln. Shading the soil is of great advantage in converting ammonia into nitrates, a process which has served to enrich forest lands while they are covered with dense growth. The mulch of leaves added annually is a carpet which prevents influence by the direct rays of the sun. That a soil which grows forest trees increases in fertility is demonstrated by the larger crops grown upon such ’’virgin” soil after it has been cleared of its forcstgrowth. On the same principle the mulching of the soil with a dense crop or with leaves is beneficial in certain respects. Tub success of many a man in the poultry business, both commercially and from a fancier's standpoint in show records, is due to women, who get no credit. They have been the power behind the throne many a time when men have received the honors.— Prairie Farmer.

An Instance of Ilnre Faithfnines* on thn Fart of an Kx-Slavo. A wealthy slave-owner of the cotton belt entered the southern array, fought bravely and brilliantly, and died in one of the closing battles of tlie war. His widow was left penni* less, with large plantations incumbered with mortgages, ami a hundred or more emancipated negroes who had ceased to Ik- her property. Her business affairs were mismanaged by agents and lawyers, and she lost one plantation after another. Her health failed, and in her old age she became wholly dependent upon one of her former slaves. This negro was grateful to her for having given him a start after the war. Learning from experience that she could not manage her plantations successfully, she bud rewarded the fidelity of a small group of emancipated slaves by deeding over to them outright kuiiiIi farms. Tilin'negro received in this way a farm of twenty-six acres with a cabin. He prospered from the outset. He made a living out of his ground, and saved every year a little money. In the course of a few years he bought another farm and doubled his iesourees. Ollier purchases followed, until he was a truck farmer with considerable wealth. He did not forget his old plantation mistress in his prosperity. When she hail lost all her property, and there was no other friend to take cure of her in her old age, this negro rescued her from destitution. He became her most faithful friend. Both are still living. On the first day of every month the negro farmer draws a check for one hundred dollars, and sends it to the aged lady whose slave he was in boyhood. At first she was unwilling to become his pensioner, but lie pressed help upon her with tears in his eyes, telling her that lie would never have got on in the world if she had not generously aided him by giving him the first farm. His bounty is now her only recourse, nnd no millionaire in the land is hap pier than lie is when “pay-day” comes around, and lie can send his check to ills kind-hearted “old misses.” The other negroes whom she befriended after the war have been either improvident or ungrateful, but one at least had the energy and thrift required for making him a well-to-do farmer, and the heart to take compassion on a friendless and unfortunate woman who hud once been kind to

him.

This is a true story, which illustrates the tender feeling sometimes existing between the negro and Ills former master, and the gratitude which good treatment may inspire even in a despised race.—Youth’s Companion.

The work preparatory to the great sum- , nier meeting here is being pushed with all

Over 1.000horses are entered for the meeting, which is a remarkable showing. Then the prize money foots up to u grander total than that of any other race meeting in the country, while na othermeeting can show so lougalist of entries. This is proof of the fact that the horsemen know a good thing when they see it, and so they are all coming to Galesburg, the pretty college city of tha west, for the great summer meeting to be held August 2dth to September Till inclusive.

The Hue electric street cur system runs riglit to tlio main gate and the tric k is only a short ride from the main part of the city.' Besidea ■ these two lines, there will be hacks and band wagons innumerable to convey tlio | crowd to and from tlie city. A large hotel stands just, across tlie street from tlie main i gate, while several boarding-bo uses are I close at band. Then, in addition to tlie four ! commodious lintels in the city many private houses will bo thrown open to receive guests. Underneath the grund-stand other improvement* will soon bo begun. After putting down n fine floor, Mr. Williams will establish one of tlio best luncli counters in this part of tlie stute. But what will there be to see at tills meeting! For the two weeks a programme of 33 races has filled These range from tlie green two-year-olds down to the flyers of tlie 2:12 !j>>t and 2:10 puce. Ineuch of these races the exceptionally large purse of $2,000.(0 is up, and there will lie some lively scrambling to get it. Then there will he a large, number of special attractions. Monroe Salisbury is booked hero and will stu-t many of tils flue ones in the races. As the •euson opens, Mr. Williams is keeping bis eyes wide open for tlie two-minute goers and you want to watch them go when they strike tlie nice, springy Galesburg track. A strong effort is being made to secure all the fast money winners of Uie season. Tlie Fall Meeting opens September 9th, the Monday after tlie great meeting closes, and this will be the time for the smaller fry. The races will continue eight week*, so that horsemen can come here and win plenty of money without ashipment. There are 138 races, and it only costs $15.00 to start for $800.00 purses They begin with tlie two-year-old trots and paces and got down to tlie 2:0b class in both movements.

TIm* I'inding of Trumpet* of Old I>en mark. Among the masterpieces of the bronze-worker which have come from that olden time to us are great bronze battle-horns, called by the Dane's lur. These are truly gigantic. Twentythree specimens have been found in Denmark, all in peat bogs, and most of them in pairs. For years a dozen of these lurs hung in the museum silent. Recently Dr. A. Hammerich secured permission to study them as musical instruments and to test them. Finally, these were played upon before a large and enthusiastic audience, the king himself being present. Only a few times since have these old horns been sounded, but on one of these occasions we had tlie good fortune to be present. Two players from the opera were the performers; the court of the museum was filled with hearers. Wonderful, is it not, that horns two thousand years old, buried for long centuries in peat hogs, should, after this long silence, still be capable of giving out clear, ringing—even sweet—tones? The conditions in which these lurs are found are most suggestive—always in peat bogs, usually in pairs. This could not be the result of accident. Other objects are found purposely laid away in the same manner; thus ten bronze hemispherical plates were found at one spot; nine fine bronze axes, all of one form, at another. Similar clusters of celts, spears, etc., are not uncommon. On one occasion about one hundred miniature boats of thin beaten gold were placed in a vessel and buried; such occurrences are not completely understood. — Prof. Frederick Starr, in Popular Science Monthly.
