A PROUD PULLET. 
On the first page this week is a strik¬ 
ing picture of a White Leghorn pullet 
brtd by White & Rice. Mr. Rice sends 
us the following note about her. 
“The pullet shown laid the first egg 
when she was four months and 24 days 
old, 146 days. Weighed three pounds 
seven ounces and the egg weighed 1% 
ounce. Picture was taken one day later 
with the second egg. We have had them 
lay earlier than this other years, but we 
try to prevent it. How to develop the 
tendency to lay and then keep them 
from laying until they have reached 
good size and age and at the same time 
to grow them as fast and as large os 
we wish is a difficult matter. 
MANURING FODDER CORN. 
On page 574 of August 8 Issue of The 
R. N.-Y., H. M. M. writes of scattering 
manure among the tall corn. I would like 
to know how he manages this without 
breaking down the corn, that is ?f the field 
of corn is of several acres at least In size 
and it is done without extensive hand 
labor. It Is frequently desirable to seed 
corn land to clover it It can bo done suc¬ 
cessfully and there is no doubt that the 
manure as used by H. M. M. is a partial 
insurance of a good “catch” and 1 would 
like to know how to spread cheaply.

In answer to above, every seventh 
row of the field should be planted to 
some small low-growing corn, that does 
not pollenize at the same time that the 
crop does, then one can drive astride 
the row without much injury. Let the 
rows run north and south so as to let 
in all the sun, plant three rows of the 
field corn, then one row of the small, 
then six rows of the crop, then one row 
of small. That leaves the field in blocks 
of six rows; don’t drive both ways over 
the small corn or you will break it off, 
choose some one row' to come back after 
you have unloaded, or more if your field 
is large. You can throw the manure to 
cover three rows each side and the row 
of small corn. After a short time you 
will find but a small amount of the 
manure lodged on leaves and this when 
you come to cut it, will easily drop off 
if the manure is in the order that 
it should be. Make the crop rows at 
farmer. They will make the ranchman 
more money than any other kind. 1 
speak from a 24 years’ experience.

The Lincoln sheep belongs to the mut¬ 
ton breeds, and while it is a heavy sheep 
it has no coarseness about it. They are 
not adapted to low lands. They are very 
prolific, invariably dropping twins, 
make excellent mothers, and if ewes 
and lambs have access to good pastur¬ 
age the lambs will usually gain a pound 
a day from birth up to three or four 
months of age, at which time if the 
owner is handily situated to some good 
market they will yield him a handsome 
profit for the money invested. I think 
that the returns would be still greater 
should he be so situated that he can 
have lambs dropped in February or 
March. While the Lincoln is a mutton 
sheep the wool is hy no means of secon¬ 
dary Importance. They produce a heavy 
fieece of fine luster; 22 pounds is not an 
uncommon fieece, nor 12 to 14 pounds 
an uncommon average for a flock. The 
fleece has long been the material of 
which the hunting of the national flags 
of all countries have been manufactured 
on account of its great strength and its 
ability to withstand the battle and the 
breeze. Our own stars and stripes have 
this kind of wool for the raw material, 
and it is always in demand for braids 
and other manufactures which call for 
this special material, long fiber and 
great strength, making it a desirable 
sheep for its mutton and wool and for 
the improvement of the common fiocks.

POLLED DURHAM CATTLE. 
The Shorthorn cattle are too old a 
breed and have been too long before the 
public to need any description at my 
hands. The Polled Durhams are essen¬ 
tially Shorthorns. The Double-standard 
Polled Durham is a purebred Shorthorn 
without horns, recorded in the Short¬ 
horn Herd Books. They have all the 
early maturing beef characteristics and 
excellent dairy qualities, for which the 
Shorthorn is so justly noted. The horn¬ 
less feature is the only difference be¬ 
tween the pure Shorthorn and the 
Double-Standard Polled Durham. Our 
claim is that the hornless head has the 
advantage of being safer and easier to 
handle. The Muleys herd together more 
quietly in field feed lot or shed, and can 
be run loose in barns and small en¬ 
closures with much less danger of in¬ 
juring each other than horned cattle. 
They are preeminently tffe farmers dual 
purpose cattle. a. d. degaumo.

pains make the small corn row only 
four feet. Leave room on outside of 
outside row so you can cover the first 
three rows but more to come back on

THE LINCOLN SHEEP. 
Lincoln sheep surpass all other breeds 
in this country in many ways. The 
most prominent ones being that they 
make the best cross on common ewes for 
the reason you increase the size of sheep 
and increase the quality of your wool. 
In most of mutton breeds you cannot 
say this. You may increase the quan¬ 
tity of wool but not the quality. The 
ewes are good mothers and will stand 
close confinement, that is a flock of 200 
e-wes will thrive where most mutton 
breeds will not. I do not say that they 
are not better in bands of 50 or 60, hut 
large hands c.an be kept together. 
They outshear any sheep I ever saw, 
and their ..wool brings the top price 
in open market. They will rustle with 
a broncho, thrive in a low, wet, moist 
country or a cold dry one. In fact, they 
are a first-class all-round sheep for the

Dr. Hess Stock Book Free 
This work was written hy Dr. Hess (M.D., 
D.V.S.) and contains the latest treat¬ 
ment or diseases of stock and poul^ 
known to the veterinary profession. It 
will be sent postage paid to any ad¬ 
dress if you write what stock you 
have (number of head of each 
kind); state what stock food 
you nave fed, and mention this 
paper. 
Prof. W. B. Goss, Dean 
of Talladega, Ala., Col¬ 
lege, says of It: “I 
think Dr. Hess’ book 
a little gem. 1 shall

Hog health can be established and maintained at the highest 
standard by a moderate use of Dr. Hess Stock Food. The hog 
like all other animals requires a certain amount of food to keep 
it in normal condition, called the food of support, and it is the 
food eaten and assimilated beyond the food of support that yields 
the increase—the food of production. This is why Dr. Hess Stock 
Food pays. It improves the digestion and assimilation so thatit 
requires less food of support and a greater quantity goes to produce 
profit. It conditions a hog as nothing else can; gives a sharp 
appetite, expels worms and alTords the means of rapid and perfect 
digestion of all food eaten. This result is due to the action of 
scientific tonics and reconstructives selected by Dr. Hqss (M. D., 
D.V. S.). Feed Dr. Hess Stock Food regularly as directed, disinfect 
the pens and feeding places with Instant Louse Killer, and we guar¬ 
antee that your hogs will be free from disease.
