k DROUGHT-PBOOP CROP.
Tiuoky is the farmer who in thisyear
of droughts has planted some sorghum
as a fodder crop. It is much better
to resist protracted drought on ac
count of roots striking deeply into
the soil, while corn is shallow rooted,
and suffers whenever dry weather
comes. At the West, where droughts
ore much more severe than here, sor
ghum is commonly planted for feed
ing. Its early growth is slow, but so
soon ss its roots strike down the stalks
shoot upward, and two months after
planting the sorghnm will be larger
and yield more tons per acre than will
any kind of corn.—Boston Cultivator.
HOO CHOLERA.
Feeding hogs gresn cornfodder Will
not prodnee cholera, ss sn inquirer in
timates, says Professor J. H. Shep-
perd of the North Dakota Agricultural
College. That disease is caused by
speciflo germs nr micro-organisms
which are in this case small plants.
There are a great many kinds of dis
ease germs, as well as germs that are
benefleial in many ways. Most per
sons not acquainted with hog cholera
all almost any swine disease by that
name, and I feel sure that hops are in
many oases thought to have cholera
whed in reality they do not. I hove
known of no serious results from
judiciously feeding green corn fodder.
Many tons are annually made use of
in this manner. It is a succulent foo.l,
and a sudden change to an exclusive
diet after feeding dry food might cause
serious scouring of pigs. The change
should be gradual. In cases of re
ported deaths from using this feed I
would be inclined to think that a de
rangement of the digestive system was
the cause and not cholera. It would
not be advisable to confine pigs to this
diet exclusively, but given with a
small quantity of dry corn or with
bran and shorts I would not expect
serious trouble.
BAD TEMPER IN THE DAIRY.
Has any one ever figured np the
cost of bad temper in the dairy? If
allowed a rough guess at it, I would
say that bad temper was the cause of
more loss in the dairy than all other
sources of loss put together. A man
may have fine cows, a good’ stable,
the best dairy implements and a good
market, yet he is losing money all the
time simply because he loses his tem
per when a cow gets contrary or acts
in some way to irritata him. He then
begins to swear and yell and act like
a general idiot. Now, a cow is a
good deal like a woman in one respect
Yon yell at her and she inatantW loses
her head. Her judgment is all gone
and her nerves are on top. Now look
not for a squall. Nature never meant
that man should abuse tjie softer eex,
either woman or cow, without being
made to pay for it Just how the
woman gets the better of a man when
he acts the fool we all know. All men
do not know, though, just how the
oow gets in her fine work under the
same circumstances. She takes her
revenge in a negative shape by not
giving as muoh milk as she would have
given had she been better treated.
Not seeing hit loss, the man does not
appreciate how heavy it is until he
comes to sam it up at the end of the
season when he good natnredty to
himself attributes his losses all to
bad lack when it shoald be to fool
temper.—Home and Farm.
SMALL FLOORS OP POULTRY.
Farmers often keep too many hens
in one place. Fifty is all that should
be kept in one flook as the food will
§ st less, and more egge will be laid
in winter than if 100 are kepi Th«
r*a“‘ way to do, wnore more than
fifty fowls are to be kept, is to have
another in some ont-of-the-wav place.
If tho houses ate two or three hundred
yards apart, fences will not be re
quired. The houses need not bo
expensive, and most farmers hose old
lumber lying around, or an old shed
that ought to be tern down, and all
this can be Worked into tho poultry
boascs. The housed should, at least,
h« twenty-five by fifteen feet for fifty
fo .'Is. Have the roof firm and tight,
an thon line the house inside with
go t, stout building paper. Little
ora 'kt in the sides of a house or datnp-
nes is the cause of siok fowls during
he intersoasoo. Thefrohtandsonth-
id > of ihe house should be seven or
eight foet high and have two ordinary
sized bouse windows therein,.. while
the back ox north side should bo four
or five feet high. The reason why
the house should bo large, light ami
dry, is because during the cold or
stormy days of winter thefowlsshould
be confined therein; and if plenty of
litter is kept on the floor, and small
grains are buried under this, the fowls
will be kept busy and happy all day.
This means plenty of eggs, and plenty
of eggs in winter means plenty of
money just when money is most
neodod. Do not be afraid of shutting
the house np as tight os possible st
night, bnt duriog the day, when the
hens are confined, open the windows
and give plenty of air, nting wire net
ting to koop the fowls from flying out.
It nr uat be remembered that hens are
dr sssed just ss heavily in the daytime
ne 0 at night, and il kept too warm dur
ing the day they will feel tho oold of
niaht more, and sickness will be the
rs ult. Tho droppiugs should be kept
by themselves and not be allowed to
be seratohed all over the floor, and
the roosts should bo all on a level aud
not mors than eighteen inches or two
feet up from the floor. Tho roosts
should be three or four inohes wide, a
two by flve-inoh joist making an ex-
oellont roost.—Ameriorn Agricultur
ist.
POTATOES FOR COWS.
The Veterinary Bohool of Lyons,
France, has been making some experi
ments in the nse of potatoes for feed
ing dairy cows. The results are sum-
mariied as follows;
Dairy oow*. when deprived, of all
other nourishment thna potatoes
(which should be given raw and ent)'
will oonsume per day an average of
seven per oent of their lire weight. |
Under the influenoe of this exoluivel
regimen there wa* an increase in the
quantity of milk and a notable loss in
live weight; this result was very clesf
and remarkable. Cooked potatoes
were more readily taken by the cat-j
tie, bnt when they were given flone,
and every other form of nourishment;
was exeluded, rumination was affected
or stopped, and digestion was hin
dered. The use of cooked potatoes
could not, therefore, be persisted iu.
Whether they ere raw or cooked,
potatoes should be mixed with some
other food to constitute a convenient
ration, both from the double point of
view of milk production and for fat
tening purposes. This mixture of ra
tions is slso favorable to the mechan-
ioal and chemical acts of digestion.
- From observations on a tot of dairy
cows fed with a ration of which pota
toes formed the half of the total dry
matter, and on another lot where they
only formed twenty-two per cent., it
wai fully recognized that the first or
larger quantity was clearly preferable
to tho second or smaller. From other
experiments it appeared that raw po
tatoes favored the production of milk,
while an equal quantity which had
been cooked fattened and increased
the weight of the animals. Under the
influenoe of a ration of whioh cooked
potatoes formed the basis, the amount
of sugar in the milk was found to rise,
bnt the increase did not continue
when the ration was changed.
An analysis was made weekly during
nearly font months of (1) the milk of
eight cows whose ration contained
about forty-four pounds of potatoes
and [2) of another lot to which twenty-
two pounds had been given. In tho
first case there was a decrease of den
sity of the proportion of dry extract
and oaseiue, and in the second nn in
crease of batter and mineral mutters.
The practical use of tUsseexperiment-t
01 the introduction of the potato into
the ration of dairy cattle will ba regu
lated by the fact of thj milk bein{
sold off the farm or used for butter or
cheese making.

A praotioal dairyman suggests that
two or three doses of saltpetre, one
tablespoonful for a dose, is a remedy
tor ropy milk. Ropy milk, however,
seldom results unless the cow is milko.l
too soon after calving; it di(appears
later on.
Sometimes eggs are luid_a! night
while the hens are on tho roost. The
cause is a weakened state of tho egg-
produoing organs; tho result of over
feeding ami lack of exercise. Hens
which are unable to hold their eggs
are usually too fat.
A practical berry grower says that
a quarter sore garden, well arranged,

A writer says that many fail to un
derstand while yet it is the fact, that
when oows are on good pasturage is
when they need salt the most. The
hotter plan Is to keep the supply in a
convenient place where they can help
themselves. One advantage with rook
salt is that it does not waste to any
great extent if left exposed.
The owner of a small farm who
keeps only one or two cows is more
interested, or should be, in having
eboioe animals than those who own
large flocks. One good oow will serve
the purpose of two- inferior ones, and
where space is limited every additional
quart of milk or pound of butter is
quite an item with the keeping of a
single animal.

COST OF A BATTLE SHIP.
AS MUCH AS (4,000,000 EXPBNS7CE
FOB A SINGLE VESSEL.
What That Immense Sam Really
Means—Various Items That Enter
Into the Ship’s Cost.
I N looking over the appropriations
for the support of the Govern
ment for tt fiscal year probably
no item will be found therein
which specifies so much money to be
expended for so limited an object as
one similar to the following:
“The President is hereby authorized
to have constructed by contract one
sea-going, coastline battle ship, de
signed to carry the heaviest armor and
most powerful ordinance, at a cost,
exclusive of armament and of any pre
mium that may be paid for ' increased
speed, not exceeding $4,000,000.”
At the first glance it scaroely seems
possible that a single ship, that can bo
tossed around at will by the billows
of the ocean, or be destroyed com
pletely in a few hours if cast upon a
lee shore, could cost snch an enormous
amount of money. Four million dol
lars would build a magnificent fleet of
forty full-rigged ships, each capable
of carrying 2000 tons of cargo to any
port in the world. It would buy every
ferryboat plying between New York,
Brooklyn and Jersey City. It would
bo sufficient to establish a line of six
teen good-sized steamships, such as
tun from New York to Jacksonville,
Fla., and other domestic ports. A
fleet of fifty such oraok yachts aa the
Vigilant conld be bnilt and fitted np
in elegant style for the price paid lot
just one battle ehip.
If we make our oomparisons with
ejects on shore, more astoniehing facta
can be gleaned. Take, for instance,
dwelling houses; a good three-story
brick bouse, occupying a lot 25
feet by 100 in an ordinary city, would
be worth, on an average, about $10,-
000. Four million dollars would
build 400 houses of that class, and if
these houses were placed in one row,
after making due allowance for streets
and sidewalks, we would have nearly
two miles of dwellings. There are not
many towns of 10,000 inhabitants
where the entire taxable property is
assessed for $4,000,000. An averag*
mechanic, in good times, will earn
about $600 a year; the money paid
for one battleship by the Government
would thus support nearly 7000 fami
lies, or a city of 35,000 inhabitants,
for a whole year.
It will naturally be asked, after
reading the above statement, bow is it
possible to expend this great .sum for
jn*t one ship? A visit to a large ship
building establishment where snch
vessels are consirueted will disclose
the fact that the principal item of ex
pense must be the labor. Walk
through the draughting room, the
pattern shop, the machine shop, the
boiler shop, and out on the vessel
herself, and everywhere you will find
men working away hour by hour, all
for the one ship. If wo should count
them we would find that there are
nearly eight hundred employed on one
part or andther of this four-million-
dollar vessel. Month after month
they work, and probably at the end of
four years’ time their task will be
completed.
However, tho men we find about the
yard are not tho only ones who are
employed in the construction of the
battle ship. In different parts of the
country many others ore working in
the mines, the blast furnaces, and
rolling mills to produce the. material
for the men in the yard to work upon.
Altogether it is safe to say that a thou
sand men are constantly employed for
a period of four years in the construc
tion of one of these leviathans of the
sea.
Probably no other creation of man
brings into employment n greater va
riety of artisans than the construction
of a war ship. If we glace over the
pay roll of a large shipyard we find
represented thereon draughtsmen, pat
tern makers, machinists, riveters, cop
persmiths, plumbers, boiler makers,
calkers, pipe titters, painters, carpen
ters, joiners, sailmakers, riggers, elec
tricians, belibangers, decorators, up
holsterers, and many other spec ail
trades and occupations. It has been cs-
tiayited that there arc thirty two classes
of workmen necessarily employed in
the construction of n steamship. As
the majority of theso men are skilled
mechanics who receive from $12 to
$25 a week, it can bo easily scon where
the money is expended for this class of
construction.
One of the most expensive parts of
the whole ship is the armor lor the
turrets and bolts around the sides.
The contract price for this material
varies between $500 and $300 a ton,
delivered in the shipyard. This does
not include the cost of placing the
plates on tho vessel, which amounts
co a considerable sum. Homo of the
dotes weigh twenty-five tons and arc
■forth nearly $11,000 apiece. It is
>robablo that when the guns and
quipmeut are supplied and tho pre-
nimns paid fo- increased speed, the
mst of one of these battle ships will
each a grand total of nearly $3,000,-

Pears ripened so rapidily during the
drought in California that they de
cayed within ten days after being
plucked. As a consequence the price
fell and it was possible to buy sixteen
luscious Bartlett pears for five cents.
In some parts of Ire and eggs are

in it is the measure; those which are

hole command the first price; those

second, get second price, and so on.

TO PUT ON
needed flesh, no mat
ter, how you’ve lost
it, take Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Dis
covery. It works
wonders. By restor-
% ing the normal ac-
f /tion of tne deranged
organs and functions,
it builds the flesh up
^ to a safe and healthy
standard — promptly,
pleasantly aud nat
urally. The weak,
~ emaciated, thin, pale
^ and puny are made
strong, plump, round and rosy. Noth
ing so effective as a strength restorer
and flesh maker is known to medical sci
ence; this puts on healthy flesh not the fat
of cod liver oil.and its filthy compounds.
It rouses every organ of the body to ac
tivity, purifies, enriches and vitalizes
the blood so that the body feels refreshed
and strengthened. If you are too thin, too
weak, too nervous, it may be that the food
assimilation is at fault. A certain amount
of bile is necessary for the reception of the
fat foods in the blood. Too often the liver
holds back this clement which would help
digestion. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery stimulates, tones up and invig
orates the liver, nouri«hf*B the blood, and
the muscles, stomach ...d nerves get the
rich blood they requi.e.

The Best. Thing in
Milk Pails
is Pearline., That’s the solid truth. You
get them cleaner, and with less work and
fuss, than with anything else you can use.
It saves you so much that it’s cheaper than
the commonest ;tuff can be. Proof—the
largest dairies and dealers use Pearline.
Some women are afraid of Pearlinc.
They think that where cleaning is made
so easy, there must be some harm to the
thing washed. But .Pearlinc can’t hurt
milk pails, anyway. And it can’t hurt the finest lace 0/ the
softest hands, any more than it hurts milk pails.
