Indeed a heck of a feller; ago is the

That Itching, burning skin-trouble

cases, it stops itching instantly and
heals eruptions promptly. It is very

PREVENT RABBITS FROM INJURING TREES
A Good Rabbit Trap
(By D. C. MOOIUNQ.)
Rabbits aro very particular as to
what they eat, and feed only on vege
table matter. They profor tho moro
succulont kinds, such as vegetables,
clover, alfalfa and fallen fruit When
none of these foods aro available, they
ofton oat tho bark of trees, especially
when snow covors other food.
It is very easy to provont rabbits
from injuring trees, and all cases of
damago aro duo to neglect rathor than
to a lack of elllclent remedies. Your
premises should not afford hiding
places for1 rabbits such as brush pllos.
This is not meant to includo groon
cover crop in tho orchard. An or
chard with a cover crop above the
snow Is seldom if over injured.
Traps aro very offectivc In catching
rabbits. Tho moro traps you havo tho
bettor. This is not so economical a
method as poisoning for protecting
tho troos, but lt furnishes nmusemont
for tho children and also provides
meat for tho tablo.
Thoro aro two general ways of pol
Boning rabbits. (1) Dy placing poi
soned water in their runs, especially
during dry weather. (2) By placing
poisoned food whero they can got lt.
The following, which was originally
recommended by tho Ohio station, has
given satisfaction: Ono part sulphate
of strychnlno, ono-thlrd part borax,
ono part whlto Boap, ton parts water.
Shako well and apply to tender twigs
with a brush or by dipping and dis
tribute tho poisoned twigs around tho
troeB.
There havo been a number of washes
and paints of various kinds recom
mended as being effective against rab
bits. Tho disadvantage of theso
CONSTRUCTION OF A
Serviceable Tester
A shallow box filled with sand makes
i scrvlceablo tester for corn. Near tho
upper edge wires or threads are
stretched in both directions, forming
a number of squares. The box is filled
with moist sand up to tho level of
theso wires or threads, and on this
sand the seed grains aro laid, and cov
ered to keep from drying out. It is
covered with muslin, drawn tightly
and tacked, on which two-inch squarec,
each ono numbered, aro marked with
an indelible pencil. A box 20x40 inches
would have 200 squares.
A plain, moistoncd cloth Is placed
TENT CATERPILLAR
DOES MUCH DAMAGE
Insect Was in Great Evidence
Last Year, and Promises More
Destruction This Summer.
The apple tree catorplllar which was
In great evidence last year Is promis
ing moro destruction during tho com
ing season. Prof. M. A. Cobb of the
agricultural department of tho Cen
tral Michigan Normal school finds that
thero aro millions of egg masses fas
tened on the limbs of tho fruit and
forest trees. These masses can bo
gathered and destroyed at this season
of tho year, and lt will do much to
roduco tho number of tho pests that
come out noxt season.
Last year many orchards wero near
ly defoliated by tho tent caterpillar
and largo apple trees wero found
which contained frcm two to fifteen
tonts. Tho groworv. jften burned thorn
out with torches boforo they had con
sumed all tho foliage on tho tree, but
tho difficult work in thickly infested
orchardB and whera tho egg masses
can bo destroyed, that is tho surest
way of reducing tho number of tho
troublesome pest.
Get Good Seed.
Don't purchase the lowest-priced
seed. In nino cases out of ten the
highest-priced seed is by far tho
cheapest. Tho seed doesn't cost much,
aftor all, in proportion to tho labor put
on plants, once they start. A full crop
Is Important, and possible only with
good seed.
u
Which Explains Itself.
washes Is that heavy rains wash them
off and make lt necessary to repeat
tho application. It 1b not difficult to
llnd or dovlso preparations which will
kcop rabbits away. Rabbits aro vory
particular about tholr food, andnny
taint on tho trco will keep them from
injuring lt. Tho following lins boon
recommended by tho Oklahoma sta
tion and found vory satisfactory:
"Water, ono gallon; ono pound of soap;
two to four ounces of carbolic acid."
Somo prefer to add enough vermilion
red to give tho mlxturo a good pink
color and tho consistency of cream.
This Is painted on tho trunk of tho
trcoB with a brush or swab of rags
tied to a stick.
Another wash, which has given sat
isfaction, is mndo by slacking ono
peck of fresh stono lime with soap
suds. Thin to tho consistency ot
whitewash, add ono-half gallon ot
crudo carbolic acid, four pounds sul
phur and ono gallon of soft soap.
Tho United States dopartmcnt of ng
riculturo recommends tho Hmo-sluphur
wash a3 giving satisfactory results.
This wash consists of: Unslaked lime,
20 pounds; flowers of sulphur, 15
pounds; wator, 50 gallons. The lime,
sulphur and ono-thlrd of tho water aro
boiled together for one hour, and then
tho rest of tho water is added. By add
ing salt tho wash will stick bettor.
Tho Arkansas experiment station
has found that painting tho trunks of
tho trees with whlto load and llnsoed
oil gavo vory satisfactory results.
Mixed palntB should not bo substituted
ns they may contain oils which would
injuro tho trees. Ono advantage of
this mixture Is that ono application is
sulllclcnt for tho entire season.

The toster should bo placed where

DIVERSITY ON FARM
IS MOST PROFITABLE
Opportunity Given for Crop Rota
tion and for Maintenance of
Fertility of the Soil.
(By AL.YA BENTON, Unlvorslty Farm.
St. Paul, Minn.)
Farm records Bhow, and good farm
ers agree in general, that diversified
farming Is most profitable. Diversified
farming means raising llvo stock and
various kinds of cropB. Diversified
farming gives opportunity for crop ro
tation, for distribution of man and
horse labor, and for tho maintenance
of soil fertility. All of those aro es
sential to good farming. Crop rotation
aids In maintaining crop yields and
soil fertility; tho distribution of labor
reduces tho cost of operation; tho
maintenance of soil fertility is tho ba
sis of all successful agriculture.
Diversified farming is of great im
portance becauso it gives tho farmer
an opportunity to carry out all tho best
farm practices.

Cost of Farm Tractor.
In considering tho cost of the trac

sider tho items of oporatlon, efficiency,
upkeop cost and possible length of
service.

In feeding small turkoys, remember
never to ovorfecd, and novor to food
anything tho least spoiled. Feed ofton
but vory llttlo at a time. Provldo grit
nud charcoal. Feed plenty of boui
milk in addition Co fresh drinking
wnter. Mix a llttlo wheat bran and
middlings with tho comment, moisten

of llmo, cracked, untainted, thorough
ly dried corn and whoa.t. Plnhead oat
meal and a llttlo millet aro also very
good.
Green food In tho form of finely
Bllccd onion tops aro vory good, but
must indeed bo fed vory sparingly.
Keep tho turkoys cool, and above
all, froo from lico and in clean sur
roundings. Do not allow thorn to
stroll through long grass early In tho
morning, thus bocomlng exhausted
and wet.
FEEDING MILK TO CHICKENS
Has Mbst Favorable Influence on
Growth and Lessening of Mortal
ity Average Among Flocks.
Tho feeding of milk to young chicks
has a most favorable Influence on tho
growth, and on lessening tho mortal
ity average.
Sweet and sour milk aro of equal
valuo In chick feeding. Tho degrco of
sourness docs not affoct tho nutrltUo
value.
Chicks fed milk freely should havo
abundant cxcrclBo. This applies par
ticularly to early hatched or brooder
chicks.
In no way Is milk injurious, hut
whether you feed sweet or sour milk,
tho samo should bo fed continually
until tho end of tho milk feeding
period. Whichever Is most convenient,
cdhoro to conBlstontly.
SPROUTED OATS FOR WINTER
Excellent Green Food for Chickens
During Cold Weather How the
Trick Is Performed.
Sprouted oats havo proved an excel
lent feed for chickens during wlntoi
months. Tho oats may bo sprouted
in a regular Bproutor, In trays by tho
kitchen stove, in tho cellar, on dirt
or on burlap. Tho trick Is to soak
tho oats with wator, spread them out
in tho light and keep them warm and
moist until tho blades aro from three
to six inches long.
A successful feeder soaks tho oats
for 24 hours, spreads thorn In a shal
low box and places lt In tho collar.
Frequently an Inch or moro of sand Is
placed In tho bottom of tho box upon
which tho oats aro spread.
Watch Fowls Closely,
Watch your flocks closely. It ofton
happens that when mntod up, tho malo
is not popular at least not generally.
It is a common thing, to notlco somo
females that persistently and success
fully avoid tho malo placed with them,
and a chango to another pen and malo
produce a marked difference. If tlyiro
nro such cases In your vards, try tho
changing method.
Don't Doctor Sick Fowls.
As a gonoral rule lt does not pay to

Sudden Death
Caused bj Diiease of the Kidneys
Tho close connection between tho
heart and tho kldnoys is well known
nowaday. Whon kidneys aro diseased,
arterial tension is lncroaaed and tho
heart functions aro attacked. Whon
tho kidneys no longor pour forth wasto,
uremlo poisoning occurs and tho per
son dies, and tho causo is often given
as heart dlsoaso, or dlsoaBo of brain
or lungs.
It la a good Insuranco against such
a risk to Bond 10 conts for a largo
