SUPPORT STOCK COLLAR.
Women naturally object to stiff
starched collars because they are uncomfortable.
Unless they are starched
they will not stand up. and must be
supported in some manner. A device
designed especiajly to support stock
collars is shown here, and can be used
jn lieu of whalebones, wires and the
like. A distinct advantage is the fact
that the distenders can be quickly re- (
moved and the stock washed or otherwise
cleaned. The body portion of this ]
supporter is made of two small tubes
joined in the centre by a cross piece. (
Fitting into the top and bottom of
these tubes are U-shaped wires, havP

A S*lo Crop.
Pwort corn is one of the safe crops
for the fanner near a large town.
When the corn is high in price it can
ho sold at a good profit, hilt when, as
during the present season, sweet corn
is cheap and plenty, it is still a paying
crop to feed to miicli cows. A Worcester

having .1 nearly solid stem, and
thus being better adapted to keeping
than many oilier fodder crops. It will
produce twelve tons or more of green
fodder to the ecre. The advantage
over corn is that it stands dry weather
somewhat better and may be sown
later than corn. Soy beans have the
advantage over either of these crops
in containing protein, and when mixed
with corn make a balanced ensilage,
thus cutting down the grain bills. But
with the amount of land limited, it
might be better to plant all corn and
buy the grain, since no crop give:#?io

To Kill a CaSf* Horn*. }
"A Reader," Dunlop/Ghio: I would
like to know what remedy to use to
kill the liorns on a calf. ?'
At any time before the calf is ten
days old the horn germ can be killed
by clipping off the hair from over the
button, then greasing with lard around
it, then moistening the end of a stick
of caustic potash and gently rubbing
it on the spot over the horn button
until the skin begins to slip, and the
job is done. The stick of potash must
be kept wrapped in paper, all except
the end used; also kept cool and dry,
or it will melt; I might add, while this
seems like a humane way to remove
the horns, it is a very painful way,
as it causes a slow burning pain for
bours, and. besides, animals that are
thus dehorned in calfhood- are just as
" *- j-t i? -l 1. ?
pugnacious as inougxi iney xiuu iiums.
All there is of it is that they can't do
the goring that they could with the
horns; but they can do a lot of bunting.?C.
D. Smead, V. S., in the Tribune
Farmer.
The Farm Horse.
The noon meal of horses should be
:he most concentrated feed. Feed most
ef the grain then, and but little hay.
At night give the most hay. It is not
easy for the horse to work hard with
ills stomach stuffed with hay.
An Illinois farmer gives his horses
1 dry bed by nailing two by fours on
the stall floor an inch apart. This
?ives the liquid manure an opportunity
to drain back. The grooves are kept
elean by the use of a strap iron hoe
made for the purpose, which fits into
them. *
It is never a safe plan to drive an
mimal with so loose a rein that you
cannot instantly command the situation
if necessary.
The difficulty of disposing of common
grades of horses is as much in finding
Payers for them as in getting respectable
prices.
A stable blanket is very desirable,
even for a farm horse not at work in

ing a tco rapid radiation from the
body. It keeps the hair more glossy,
md, in a large measure, prevents soiling
the hind limbs while lying down.
A wool or part wool blanket is best.
An experiment station says that the
closer a draught horse is to the ground,
the better both for service and enlurance.
If you expect the best work from the
team, let them keep a steady gait and
f.o not urge them into a forced or rapid
gait?Horse Breeder.
Improve I he Brood Blare?.
We think the great reason why so
aiany ordinary horses are bred on the
farm comes from relying wholly upon j
the stallion and paying little attention
to the character and breeding of the
mares, says the Michigan Farmer. In
horses uniformity is worth money in
any market, especially in these of good
elass, whether they are heavy draughts
or carriage teams, and you cannot get
uniformity in the product except
through kindred blood. You cannot
breed a mare of Tercheron and trotting
blood ar.d another with coach. Ciydcs+i-n4Hiio

and get a pair of matched
coiis. Nature will not belie herself,
and she has declared, so often and emphatically
that "like produces like,"
and what you sow so shall you reap,
that it is useless to attempt longer
to do the impossible.
So the first thing a farmer should
do when he starts raising horses is to
get brood marcs of the class he wants,
and with more or less of the blood
of the breed he proposes breeding them
to?the more the better. This will be
found equally advisable, whether he
J
V *- . V
v- - ; v. . '
proposes raising draughts, earring? I
horses or roadsters. And such mares
should not be matched haphazard, but
after careful examination of the stallion
and his breeding, and some of his
colts, if possible. But do not condemn
a stallion because he gets some poor
colts until you examine their dams.
As a rule, you trill find most of tlie
trouble is with the mares, not the
horse, although, of course, there are
worthless stallions or an oreeas.
Prartiital Poultry Points.
The critical period is the forming of
the feathers, which calls for frequent
feeding, and when they have passed
that stage the chicks become hardy.
The houses need not be more than
eight feet square for each family and'
can be doubled.
If possible, it is best to have changeable
yards, but if used, a less number
can be kept to the acre. If the yards
are kept clean by an occasional spading,
however, green stuff may be [
grown elsewhere and thrown over to j
them. This may consist of cabbage,
grass, turnip tops, kale, mustard, lettuce,
etc.
Water must not be neglected or the
meals given irregularly. Care must
be observed uot to feed too much, as
overfat fowls will lay few eggs, and
such eggs will not hatch.
A good poultry manager Is always
among his fowls and observes everything.
The large fowls should be hatched
In March if early pullets are desired j
for winter laying. This applies to
Erahmas, Cochins and Fly mouth
Rocks. If the manager finds this impossible
he should at cnce substitute
cocks of the Leghorn breed, which,
crossed with large hens, make good,
marketable chicks and produce pullets
that mature early.
Crossing pure-bred cocks with common
liens is excellent, but "fancy poultry"
is not profitable to any but those
who understand thoroughly the mating
and selection of the several breeds.
Unsanitary surroundings cause more
disease, puny and unhealthy birds, and
general loss in the poultry yard, than j
all other causes put together,?E. &
Smidt, in The Cultivator.
Handy Feed Lots.
Every stockman should have at least
three feed lots, handy to the barns.
They will be found very convenient
for use, time about, in feeding so that
they can dry out in bad weather or to
feed in, one day for the next. In good
weather it is of ten desirable to spread
the feed on Saturday for Sunday. .For
convenience in separating or sorting
stock these lots can be especially
handy.
In dairy farming, says E. W. Jones,
in The Epitomist, the cows have to be
lotted to be milked, and in many cases
tbey are left in the inclosure over
night, in which case very rich iots are
soon the result. If several such enclosures
are available one or more may be
cultivated the following year and fine
crops will be grown year after year
without the labor and expense of
handling it A combination of this
sort, it seems to me, would solve the
problem of keeping up the fertility in
tobacco growing and trucking. A herd
of thirty cows here last year produced
enough manure for three or four acres
during the grazing season. The urine
is a very valuable element that is otherwise
lost, but is in this way saved. ,
In hog feeding, this arrangement is
of espec:. alue, for they more than
any other ;rnal, need a change of
feeding places. Where the feeder is
pressing them they can be fed in another
lot so that the stock hogs may
clean up the remnants of the corn feed,
which often is not palatable to a fullfed
hog. Then, too, several feeds
ahead may be put out in the different
lots and the hogs turned to them as
needed.
Feed lots should be on well drained
land with shade and running water. If
possible. The fencing should be the
best, suited for either cattle or hogs.
They should be connected by easy
working gates. For cattle some ar
rangement lor reecung in cue vl
troughs or racks must be provided if
Tre are to feed them out of doors i*
the winter.

AN ENTIRELY NEW MOVE.!

President Roosevelt Will Try for Gov- i

of Bituminous Coal tands.
A Washington speciai says: Government
ownership of a vast body of bituminous
coal lands is the next move
on President Roosevelt's program.
In the very near future, President
Roosevelt will issue an order withdrawing
from entry under the mineral
land laws something like forty
million acres of coal land now embraced
in the nation's public domains.
This will be done for the purpose of
preparing the way for legislation at
the next session of congress providing

for future development, the title to
remain in the government, something
after the manner in which the German
government owns the coal lands
of that country.
In taking this step President Roosevelt
is looking forward to the time
in the future?the far future, to be
sure?when the bituminous mines of j
the east and of the south are exhaust- j
ed, or practically so, it being his idea i
that the existing supply should be In j

Attorney General Moody is now
making an investigation into the laws
to see just how far the president Is
empowered to go in his withdrawal
program without action by congress.
It is understood that his investigation
has particularly to do with lands supposed
to contain coal, but where the
fact has not yet been determined by j
surveys and investigations. There can i

ADAMSON'S VIEW POINT
i
Of Disfranchisement in Georgia Shown i
in Accepting Renomination.
At Warm Springs, Saturday, Judge j
W. C. Adamson was nominated for j
congress for the sixth time by th9 ;
democrats of the fourth Georgia dls- j
Irict. Resolutions heartily indorsing j
his record were adopted. Judge Ad-!
am son's nomination was unanimous!
and enthusiastic. His speech of ac- j
ceptance was received with close ?.t-;
tention anl applause.
After warmly thanking his constit- j
uents for their continued confidence in j
him, Judge Adamson discussed national
affairs, and then matters closer
to home. Cn the question of disfranchisement
in Georgia, he said in part:
"I trust that sudden conversions
bear no relation to political exigen:y.
People who lightly demand 'disfranchisement'
may injure the state and
both races by disturbing existing ind
satisfactory conditions which result
from the wisest solution of the question
possible; but they .forget that j
real disfranchisement is already us-!
complished in Georgia, the only state
in which it has bebn done effectually
and constitutionally. The best opening
possible for alleged reformers to
serve their country with effect would j
be to undertake the task of persuading
other southern states to adopt
Georgia's policy at cnce.
"The frainers of our constitution
knew that an educational test?with
all the money of all our enemies at
the disposal of the negroes who can
go naked and live on nothing and go
to school all the time?would immensely
multiply votes among such
people, while white men?no matter
how illiterate, having both pride and
energy, having to .keep up appearances,
clothe their families, pay their
debts and keep up their self respectare
compelled to allow some of their
children to work.
"Those who are willing to abandon
our advantage In the Georgia situa- i
tion may be comforted to know that
UtTr. Carnegie is being urged to devote
SiOO.OOO.OOO to demoralize the ne
gro by supporting and educating the !
young negro in the wrong way in i
those southern states which have the
educational and grandfather clauses."

MANUFACTURING PERFUME,
The Methods of Extraction Now lit
Vogue in Germany. ,
Vice-Consul Puller, writing from
Hanover, declares that the perftunery
Industry in Germany is one of the 7
most important in the world, and
rivals that of France or England.
Some of the biggest factories are in
Leipsic, but Berlin, Carlsruhe, and
Hamburg are important centres of
the trade. 'Ihere has been a vast In- ,
crease in the last few years in the
diveisity of essential oils produced
from plants, and forty varieties of .
those plants are employed in German
factories, which use as well such pro :
ducts of foreign lands as nutmeg, ; yj
cinnamon, camphor, balsams, pepper,
musk and ambergris.
The production of the essential oil
is expensive, ranging from about $227
a pound downward, according to the ;
scarcity of the oil in the plant. With *
fresh flowers the distillation takes ^ "
place as near the place of picking as
possible, as the fresher th<* products .Is
the'better. The stills contain about
3,300 pounds of flowers and the nec- %
essary amount of water. Great cars
is taken as to tlie amount ot new
supplied and to its regularity, the MM
process being thoroughly controlled, an
excellent product resulting.
In the "fat" process the flowers are v ^
carefully sorted and the chlorophyll glands
broken. They are then stirred .
gently for some hours that they may
become thoroughly saturated with th4
slightly warmed fat with which the
flowers have been placed. The
and flower mixture is then separated
in centrifugal machines, so that the fat
may be used again with fresh flowera'?'
till it is thoroughly saturated with ,
the perfume. Then a layer of cold fat ' : j
is placed on glass plates and covered . /; /
with flowers; many of these a?^?|H
stacked together in crates and left |
for thirty days, during which ..the
flowers are changed every day. -
After the thirty days the fat is cut into
strings and placed on wii^weifc
frames, which are placed alternately ..I
with metal sheets covered with . ['}_
flowers in a press, where they are '
subjected to a slight current of air.
In this way the utmost amount of ...
perfume is obtained, but the operaticms
require careful attention, for r"
there should be no trace of an herby r
