BULLOCK MACRtlTfcsTpLY COMPANY WIO. lOlktTIlir, OMIlM.NIIIAtU _ Three-Year-Old Suffolk Stallion. The young colt needs the best of rare on the farm, for its life depends upon the care it gets during the first few weeks of its life Navel-ill in colt* requires close atteniion. for the disease is caused by a micro-organ ism Several bacteria have been sus pected of being responsible for this malady Every one of the suspected organisms is found abundantly in manure and on objects contaminated with manure The infective material gams entrance into the coil through the open umbilical cord, as a result af it* coming in contact with litter floors or discharge from its dam. con taminated by one of the organisms that cause the trouble. One of the easiest ways to prevent the disease is to insist upon clean stables It isn't a hard task to keep the stalls clean if they are watched each day Mares in the latest stages of gestation should be placed in a box stall that has been previously leaned and disinfected The bedding •■hcnjld be renewed frequently and the external genital organs of the mare tnd the ne ghboring tissues should be c'eaned and disinfected with a 2 per : eni solution of carbolic ac id, or a 1 per cent so.ution of some coal tar dis nfectant Operations for opening ab scesses and the removal of after births from rows should not be performed in the immediate vicinity of the preg uan* mare It is up to the farmer to watch these matters closely and a great many eases of navel-ill will b« avoided Just as'soon as the foal is droppec it should be placed on clean bedding In any event, the umbilical cord ol the foal should be washed in a dis infecting solution and tied, at about one and one-half inches from the body with a band or string which has pre viously been soaked in a disinfectant j The navel cord should then be severed j about a half inch below the band with a sharp knife and again disinfected The band, however, should not be tightened until pulsations of the blood vessels in the cord have ceased The stump of the cord is then paint j ed with strong carbolic acid solution tfhcture of iodine, or a mixture ol equal parts of tincture of iodine and glycerin. Wash the stump of the cord ■ daily with a disinfectant and eithei l paint it with an Iodine mixture or car , bolic acid, or dust it with some relia ble antiseptic healing powder The parchmentlike dried stump of the I cord may be cut off after five days ; and wound washed with a disinfec : tant and dusted with powder until en ' tirely healed Once the infection o: ■ the navel cord has set in the cord | should not be bound tightly, but i should be washed in a disinfecting so ' lution and a veterinarian called for 1 the subsequent treatment. j Any farming community can be t properly sized up by the quality of its ! horses MAKE HOPPERDOZER OUT OF SHEET IRON Runners Are Riveted to Pan, Ex tending Both Backward and Forward as Illustrated. The hopperdozer is constructed of sheet iron, preferably galvanized, of reasonable thickness to insure strength, and. except for the end piece*, made of a single sheet 10 or 12 feet long and 26 inches in width. | The front is formed by turning up one I -dge * couple of inches and the back may be turned up a foot, thus making a shallow pan 1 foot wide, with the bark the same height and with a front - inches high. Kcds are riveted in end soldered. Kunners of old wagon tire are j placed at each end. and another in the j enter is turned over in the front and back to strengthen the pan at these '__J Sheet Iron Hopperdozer. points. These runners are riveted to the pan. as shown, and should extend both backward and forward, in order to overcome to some extent the in equalities of the ground and cause the hopperdozer to run more smoothly. By soldering it about tbe heads of the rivets the pan will be made water tight. The pan is filled with water on which is poured enough kerosene to cover it with a film, the horse is n.iched to the end runners, and the ojtfit is then ready for use. USEFUL TOOLSTOR W( IN ORCHARDS Biade of Mowing Machine. Fitted to Wooden Handle. Will Be Found Satisfactory. A useful tool for cutting canes of -*isb fruits is made from the blade of a mowing machine fitted to a wooden handle It lo.>ks like a tomahawk with i, sharp blade on each side. The blade -tands at an angle which gives it the ] r,ght slope to cut well without tearing i tie plants. It should be made of the I .•ry best steel and the lower edge ot j he blade should be kept very sharp icross the full face. Another useful tool is made from an t.d file or wood rasp, with a shoulder or lug turned up to fit on a scythe i - lath The same tool works better, however with a straight handle. But it must be k.'pt very sharp to do ef fective work Exercise for Hens. Throw tbe grain in six or eight laches of litter so the hens will get plenty of exercise. Hawks Avoid Ducklings.

Poor and worthless old plugs tug ging in the harness Veep company bolding the lines, Even an old plug horse may be kepi neal and clean and be afforded a suffi cient amount of wholesome food sc that it may be capable of doing som» useful work. The grade sire is a proposition w< should steer ciear of. Prepotency is a fixed characteristit n all purebred sires. The average farmer makes a mis take when he breeds trotting horses or other breeds not adapted to nit business. No one point is more essential that sound, well-shaped hoofs. The value of a horse depends to a large extent upon his feet. The fact that a horse has been im ported does not add one cent to its intrinsic value for breeding purposes However, many horse breeders believe that about the only requisite is that a stallion should come trorn some for eign country. The facts are that America should be and is breeding her own draft horses instead of importing them. XI'e are fast getting over the notion that we are dependent upon breeders of the old world for improved live stock. Pot-bellied, hay-fed colts tell the story of improper feeding, slow growth and poor form. CARING FOR SOWS AT WEANING TIME Best Decrease Amount of Feed and Turn Her Into Separa'.e Yard Away From Pigs. It is best to decrease the amount of feed that is allowed the sow a day ot two before weaning time and turn her in a separate yard away from the Pigs and allow her very little feed out side of the pasture for four or five days, so that her milk flow will cease and not injure her for future breed ing. After this, bran and short feed in a thick slop and one or two ears of corn will prove an excellent ration for a few weeks. At all times pro vide plenty of pure water, charcoal and salt. % After breeding increase the amount of millfeed and feed less corn for about eight weeks and then supple ment the millfeed with one pound of tankage and find that one pound a day for each sow- will bring satisfac tory results at farrowing time. Cow Testing Pays. Cow testing pays because it points out to you the profitable and the un profitable cows. It is only possible to put dairying on a profitable basis when the unprofitable cows are taken from the herd. Best Evergreens. The Scotch p&e and the white spruce are the best evergreens for windbreak planting. Two or three year-old seedlings can be bought in lots of five hundred or a thousand for about one cent each. Italy's participation in the Euro pean war necessarily involves to a certain extent the Holy See and the pope, and makes more important thau usual the papal secretary of state. Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, who holds that high .iffice. is a man of undoubted ability and long experience in church and diplomatic affairs. He was horn at Capovallazza di I'ssita. ir. central Italy, on May 5. 1S5-. In his younger days he taught theology in the Pontifical RomaD seminary, and canonic law at Propa ganda Picie; and he was barely twen ty-eight when he was appointed pro fessor of law in the lnstitut Catbo lique of Paris, where he spent in schol arly pursuits nearly twenty years. In 1S9S he went hack to Rome to receive bis appointment as apostolic delegate to Peru. Bolivia and Ecuador; along vw'h the title of archbishop of 'Caesarea "in partibus infidelium.” His American delegation lasted four years mm 1 was erowneo won sausiactorv results m every way. Me was uieu uiaue secretary to the congregation for extraordinary ecclesiastic affairs, one of the nmst important positions in the curia, since this is the office of corre epoadeace with foreign governments, and after that president of the com mission to codify the canonic law. After two years' hard work, having found it advisable to allow himself some relaxation, he took a vacation, traveling to the Holy Hand in company t'ilh Monsignore, afterwards Cardinal Del&i. and returned quietly to his work soon after. The purple cloth" came to him one year later, with the consistory of December 1®. 1 f*07. not as the perfunctory conclusion of a bureaciratic career, hut as an early and well-deserved recognition of very particular and brilliant merit. Rerkeley Sherwood-Dunn of New York has gone to Europe as the head of a French hospital unit cm the fir ing line, and if anything should hap pen to this banker and doctor the United States would mourn the loss of a man who has boen for years active in public movements. It is not surprising that he is giving his services to France, for in that coun try he was educated, first practiced medicine and became a leader in public welfare matters. Doctor Sherwood-Dunn was born In Rushford. N. Y . and after studying in the New York university took his degrees at the University of France, began practicing in Paris and was i married there to an American girl. He was a member of a committee that revises the laws governing the ad mission of foreign students to the uni cerstty and prevented the threatened sxclusifn of Americans. Later he was one of the founders and director* of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Paris Some time after he returned to this country a group of bankers invited him to 5oin with them in organizing the Century Trust company, and he became its secretary. As a result he became generally interested in the hanking business, and in 1907-8 he was the president of the European-Amer , tcan bank. He sold his Interest in it in 1908 and removed to South Carolina where he was largely interested in the banking business and was president of several banks in that state. He is a director in several other banks and business corporations. He is a member of the American Civic alliance, and during his residence :n South Carolina he was the state chairman of the Progressive party there versatile man. a decidedly interesting man, with a highly varied career, he is now varying It still more among the shrapnel and the poison gases on the French frontier, where many doctors have fallen. WILD BEASTS HER CHUMS i»ady Mackenzie, who recently re turned from Africa to take up het residence, for the present at least, on her ranch in Montana, is an interest ing person in more ways than one For some years she has been known as one of the most fearless and skilled of big game hunters, and het trips to Africa especially have re suited in extraordinary ' bags" of ele phants, lions and other large and fierce animals. Always when she travels I^ady Mackenzie carries with her some pet wild beasts, and callers at her apart ments are sure to be met by some or these startling chums. She enter tained sixty guests recently at Del monico's in New York, and the diners were amused by the antics of lion cubs, wildcats and other lively ani mals. some of which were so strenu ous that more than one dinner jacket was torn badly. i oe menu was an elaborate one. There were stuffed eagles' eggs, roast black bear, rhinoceros tongues, Egyp tion quail salad served in cocoanuts and other edibles As the diners sipped their coffee a monkey sprang from a branch in the tropical palms. None of the blackened employees of Delmonico s. who stood in true Sene gam bian postures around the table, seemed afraid of the wild animals, even if the leopard was a bit ferocious. The chains were strong. A huge lion's skin was the centerpiece and cocoanuts were placed on the table. [ GIVE A NICKEL TO SUFFRAGE Occupying a prominent place in the Washington headquarters of the Congressional Union for Woman Suf frage and pointed to as a 'horrible example" is a nickel donated at a suffrage street meeting by Congress man Thomas Heflin of Alabama, whom the women style the "arch ene my of suffrage in congress." An in teresting story is told in connection with the Heflin five-cent piece. One day Miss Elsie Hill, one of the lead ing speakers for “the cause," was conducting a meeting at a Pennsyl vania avenue corner, and a large crowd had collected to listen to her eloquent pleas. Among her hearers were many who believed in the canse sufficiently to contribute liberally when she called for financial as sistance for the organization. Just as they were handing over their cash along came Congressman Heflin with some friends, and, seeing what was going on, the Alabama statesman nippea a mcaei to uue ui me collectors, saving: "Take that for luck." The coin was mounted on a bit of cardboard, properly labeled and placed In the headquarters, where It takes rank with the antisnffrage speech of former Congressman Bowdle of Ohio, also mounted and labeled.

VALUE OF THE "SCRAP HEAP’* _ "Secondary Metals” Have Added Much to the Wealth of the United States. In 1914 the value of the "secondary J metals." exclusive of gold, silver, plat | inum. iron and steel, recovered in the | T'nited States was J57.039.706, accord ing to J. P. Dunlop of the t'nited State geological survey. This is a decrease from 1913 of $15,746,321, the secondary metals recovered in that year being valued at J72.786.027. The term "secondary" does not im ply that these metals, which are re covered from scrap metal, sweepings, skimmings. drosses, etc., are of inferior ! quality, but it is used to distinguish them from "primary metals,” which i are derived from ore. While the sur i vev figures relative to lead. zinc, cop j per. aluminum, tin and antimony given i in this statement cover a large field and form an essential addition to the reports on primary metalB, the scope of the inquiry probably reveais less than one-half the extent of the waste metal trade.

She tells her own story: "1 did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not. and could not, quit drinking it. but I was a miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nerv ous prostration for four years. "I was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it. ■'Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally 1 asked my self what’s the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that 1 could indulge myself in coffee? "So I got some Postum to help me quit. I made it strictly according to directions and I want to tell you that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee be cause I now like Postum better than the coffee. "One by one the old troubles left until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right and the Pain all gone.

WHAT TO DO FOR YOUR ITCHING SKIN Eczema, ringworm and other itch | ing. burning skin eruptions are so ; easily made worse by improper treat ment that one has to be very careful. There is one method, however, that you need not hesitate to use. even on a baby's tender skin—that is the resinol treatment. Resinol is the pre scription of a Baltimore doctor, put up in the form of resinol ointment and resinol soap. This proved so re markably successful that thousands of j other physicians have been prescribe : ing it constantly for 20 Tears'. ‘ — Resinol stops itching instantly, and almost always heals the eruption quickly and at little cost.
