Water sprouts should be kept cut out. Don't delay longer the marketing of the old surplus stock. It pays to raise good fruit. Lime should bo freely used In and about the hen house. If you would be a hero In your wife's eyes, keep the wood box full. Sun and lice will demand a heavy toll of the careless poultryman. Give the Dies the chance and they will turn more waste on the farm Into profit than any other animal. The toes of sheep have to be trimmed In order to keep the hoofs from curling and then breaking off unevenly. If thoy have not sufficient shade and plenty of good fresh water, the henB will suffer from the heat and turn you down on the egg yield. In picking a team mate for the colt, select the one with the fastest walking gait. Almost impossible to break him of a slow walk if once ac quired. If you do not use an incubator but depend upon henB for hatching your eggs remember and save over the hens that have proved themselves good mothers this year. The farmer should be good citizen enough to be Interested in, the poli tics of his township and county. Have high ideals for your community and then do your best to bring them to pass. On the farm is not out of the na tion. The farmer must be citizen as well as farmer, if the nation Is to be safe. Keep in touch with the trend of events, local, state and national, and always let your Influence be felt on wie siue 01 me rigiu. About the best thing you can do with your common stock rams is to soil them. Then add a little more to the selling price and go off and buy a full bred animal to head' your flock for the coming year. It may seem like extravagance at the time but you will see the wisdom of it as you look over the lamb crop of next year. A sign of beginning sunstroke is in dicated In the horse by flagging steps and unsteady gait. Don't delay. Get him in the shade, unhitch at once and apply cold water to the head and neck, and rub with coarse cloths. Sponge the mouth out with cold water, also. Quinine Injected, 10 or more grains to the doso, will also help. What are the qualifications of a good hired man? Is he prompt in getting up early In the morning? Does ho attend strictly to business? Does he take an active interest in his work? Is he a good caretaker of stock? Does ho get out at night to look after stock when necessary? lias ho any bad habits? If so, what? Does ho take good care of the farm machinery? Does he show a disposition to show little acts of courtesy about tho house or barn which aro not required, but which indicate a thoughtful and help ful spirit? Is he worth more than the ordinary man? if so, how much more? Is ho agreeable to got along with? Has he shown executivo abil ity Can you recommend him as a proper person to manage or superin tend a farm? And now, to ask a ques tion of tho farmor himself: What are you doing to help him acquire all these good points? It Is announced from tho Kentucky fxnerlment station that a positlvo cure has been found for a disease among hheep known as scab, and that this fatal malady had assumed such largo proportions among the sheep of Ken tucky that the state veterinary has threatened to quarantine tho state against the shipping of any of tho ani mals out of Its borders. The disease attacks the sheep in the ualuro of a large scab which In a short period of time covers Its entire body, not nuly rendering the wool utterly worthless, hut In most cases killing tlio sheep within a short lime. The disease Is contagious and has been spreading during the past few mouths, ho Herl- ously It In Haul nearly every Hock U In fedtd, Dip for the ticks. Sheep Infested cannot be fitted for market. Know your commission man beforo consigning him a shipment of goods. Cows thnt are permitted sometimes forced to drink stngnnnt water will give stringy or ropy milk. Plow the poultry runs. It will make, them look better and will give tho hens new ground to scratch in. Clean cool water at this time of year Is needed by all kinds of farm stock, If they would keep in prime condition. In nicklnc out the hens that aro to be sent to market be sure that you got the ones that will no longer prove profitable to you. The irritable man makes a poor driver of horses, for his ill temper makes the horses nervous and he is never nble to get the best work out of them. The Indiana couple whose friends made them presents of live poultry on their wedding day ought to feel that they have a calling to the poultry-raising profession. One farmer who has had trouble with mud wallows around his hog trouKhs and who had tried clay and sand without effect used sawdust as a last resort and found it worked ex cellently. Get a Babcock tester and ascertain the quality of your cream. The gov ernment will send you n pamphlet ex plaining all about the machine If you will' write to the department of agri culture at Washington. Sometimes sheep get deep wounds In which after a time maggots hatched from tho eggs of flies find lodgment. In such case Inject kerosene to drive out the maggots. Treat every day until the wound is healed. High time that the flock was sorted over, the wethers being penned to gether and fed liberally for market, and the breeding stock put by itself and fed with a view of obtaining a strong, healthy progeny next season. The poultry interests of the farm are growing. Time was a few years ago when the farmer was content to market five dollars worth of eggs a month, now he thinks nothing of ship ping 60 cases a week, and he counts It a sort of pick up. There should be a closer association between the dairymen In the ship ping of their supplies io the city. But to succeed such an organization must be as jealous for tho interest of the consumers of these products as for the interests of the people that produce the milk. Turn the tarm waste and neglected snots Into wood lots where you can grow your own posts, poles, fences and saw logs. It is decidedly worth while to keep all of the farm at work. The owner pays taxes on all his land, and is out of pocket for whatever Is not earning him something. Further, by growing a tree crop on land that is too poor to plow the quality of the land Itself Is Improved. Forests add humus to the soil, bettering its character. Here is a recipe for salting meat which has proved satisfactory: For 100 pounds of meat take ten quarts of saltpeter; one pound of pepper and two pounds or yellow sugnr. Mix well, put in a tub or some suitable vessel, and then apply the mixture- well to the meat. Care should bo taken to apply It thoroughly In the cracks and around tho edges. After the meat has taken all tho salt pos sible, hang It up and powder It with powdered borax. Then smoke the meat. This Is said to bo tho most successful method of salting meat there is, both from a standpoint of puilty and flavor. The tobacco cure for parasites In lambs has been demonstrated by ex periments to bo tho most effective treatment. In fact It has boon demon strated that tobacco Is a good pre ventative for worms In tho first place and Is hostile to tholr development after they aro started. The physical construction of tho lamb Is so complex that It In not an easy matter to apply a remedy for all his troubles ho It Is generally easier to prevent than to cure. The old advlco of changing pas ture often Ih the safest plan to follow. This Is the time of tho year when the woiins heg'n to do considerable harm and when you see the lamb begin to run down and lotto his frlHky habits you May bo pretty sure tho worm Iiuh got lilfii. A remedy applied In time may rnve cnuKlderuliu trouble mid iofx. What is Castoria. ASTORIA is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is pleasant.
