It has cured thousands of women "who have been troubled with displacements, in flammation, ulceration, libroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing down feeling, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means had failed.

Fodder corn should not be neg lected. Roots should always be a part cf the rations of dairy cows. A wet yard is an abomination in the sight of a well-bred hen. Use the shepherd's crook as little as possible at or oefore lambing. The pigs should bave clean, pure water always at hand, day and night Providing a man knows his business the brood mare is the most profitable farm worker. Baby beef is not more common be cause stock raisers generally are not stock breeders. From the dairy standpoint, the best time in the year for a cow to freshen is the month of September. Just one setting of thoroughbred eggs may be the means of working a revolution in 3our poultry business. If a neifer is to make the best dairy cow, she should freshen when she is from two years to thirty months old. Newly hatched ducklings- can be brooded without heat in a box coop at this season, and if well fed will grow rapidly. The scalper shovel Is best for corn cultivation, as the deep running old-style shovel injures the feeding roots. Dairy butter should be packed In five-pound jars and ten and twenty pound tubs to sell to the best ad vantage. If a ewe abort3, remove her at once from the lambing shed; burn all litter, bedding, etc., and thoroughly disin fect the pen. No extensive grower of potatoes can afford to do without a breeding patch from which to secure seed stock for his own planting. Orchard grass should be cut just as soon as the blosoms fall, and crimson , clover when about two-thirds of the blossoms turn brown. All sprays after the first should be very fine and so applied as to lightly cover the entire surface of the fruit and foliage with the liquid. The subject of cutting back young trees when planting Is an old one, and the Ideal one in favor, of which much has been said and written. It is commonly believed that a warm horse should not be given water to drink, which is correct if tie animal is to be allowed all that he will drink. Some turkey growers who cater to special hotel and club house demands', seek to improve the flavor of the flesh by Introducing wild blcod into their flocks. The 1.400-round mule Is becoming a popuiar draft animal. He Is tough, eats less than a horse of the same weight, and if soun will sell for $300 or better. Alfalfa sown in the fall is almost In variably helped by disking the follow ing spring, with the disks set quite straight, so as not to cut the crowns, but to split them. t Corn and corn meal are carbona ceous matter, similar in composition to that of cream, and there is no feed that a calf likes so well as shelled corn or corn meal. Potatoes should be either put over an inch and three-quarters screen or assorted so as not to have anything under an Inch and three-quarters in ! the stock sent to market. i The best way to teach young pigs ! to eat is to provide a run or "creep" Into an adjoining pen. to which the sow cannot obtain access, or to feed :hem while she is turned out to get iome exercise. Examine the udder of each ewe and where necessary cut away all locks of j wool, so that the lamb may have free I and unobstructed access to the teats; I otherwise the Iamb is liable to suck i and swallow some wool, which forms Into a ball in the stomach, eventually causing death when the lamb is three , or four weeks old. i Let our farmers now take note of 1 the superior results which follow the sowing of what on land which was for a season or two previously occupied by a cultivated crop. The wheat gets the ! benefit of that cultivation practically to the same extent as the preceding ! :rop. in the diminution of weeds and of certain insect pests. Dogs should not be used when the ewes get heavy In lamb, nor should they be permitted to enter the lambing sheds. Many ewes become exceeding ly nervous at this period and the bark ing of a dog or any undue noise is likely to cause them to become so ex cited as to cause abortion, which bo: Infrequently happens. & i - M Try goslings this summer. Cultivating corn is crop insurance. Dairymen should not neglect breed ing. A mixture of dead seed can easily be detected by the color. The standard remedies against cut worms are poisoned baits. v The range of prices between poor and really good fruit is very great. Milk Is most conveniently pasteur ized in the bottles in which it is de livered. The kicking and straining of a caught ewe, heavy in lamb, may cause her to abort. Look to the garden. Plant a succes sion of vegetables to last through the winter months. To put a heavy load on the low down wagon is a low-down trick on the willing horse. A sanitary barn should have from four to six square feet of window-space for each cow kept. More beef can be produced from young cattle than from older ones, with the same money. The price of small cattle of high finish is practically as high as that of larger and coarser ones. Calves fed on whole milk are the best for baby bee, for they are in good flesh at weaning time. Cut out the useless brush In your old trees and give the sun a chance to reach every part of them. The market fa' good horses con tinues good In spite of the ever in creasing number of automobiles. If you find it necessary to assist the ewe to deliver, be sure to carbolize or I vaseline the hands before opera-ins. Do not give the ewes turnips or other roots immediately after lamb-' ing; it's dangerous to both ewe and to lamb. Large orchard trees win require from six to twelve gallons of spray for a thorough treatment at the first ap plication. The Jersey cow is a delicate, nerv ous machine and requires warmth, kindness and liberal feeding to make her profitable. For a good egg lay, feed plenty of green food and beef scraps, and make the 'Cowls scratch for their grain. The eggs must come. If milk is kept in a cool place and stays sweet too long. It will be bitter and the result is that the cream will I make strong batter. After having assisted in a bad case of lambing do not go to a healthy ewe until hands, clothes, etc.. have been thoroughly disinfected. Tn summer. If there are no trees in the pasture which afford a sufficiency of shade, some artificial shelters should be there provided. To breed ewes early in the summer, lt Is necessary to have them lamb early enough so that they may be dry before attempting to breed them. I Outdoor exercise, fresh green grass ' and plenty of pure water are the sub- stances that go to build up that vigor ' so characteristic of high-class horses. j We frequently Eee young colts fol lowing along the fields after their dams, walking many miles during the ! hot weather. Useless and poor busl- ! ness. After the first week of sleeping and I resting, the young calf should be al j loweJ to exercise freely in the open j air. in order to develop muscles, lungs ; and heart. Get a horse with hi3 shoulders thrown well back over his ribs and his neck rising out of the top of his shoulders, and you have the finest element of style. Common sense Is better than the best dairy instruction of the day, but It clearly shows a lack of common sense when a dairyman discards all recent investigations. Laying hens should have a continual supply of clean, fresh water to drink, and the little chicks should never be without it from the time they are matched until fully grown. It has been demonstrated that a light frost does not injure the quality of the silage, provided the corn goes Into the soil before the leaf and stalk has lost much of its moisture. Don't be in too great a hurry to as i slst a ewe to deliver her lamb; you ! may do more barm than good; be quite sure that she has absolutely i given up before trying to help her. As long as horses that have weak or defective feet are used for breeding j purposes. Just so long will there be i horses with predisposition to these things, and money -will accordingly be . lost on them. ! There is so much difference in the composition of milk from different i co s that many large butter and cheese factories now test all the milk ' they buy. and pay for lt according to : its butter fat content. I Alfalfa should be cut xvhen the new j sprouts are starting on the crown. This is an entirely safe rule to follow. Usually this will occur when the first crop is coming Into bloom. Alfalfa sown this season should be clipped and the clipping left to form a mulch ing about the young plants. It may be necessary to clip a second time, but the fall growth should remain to hold the snow and thus prevent winterkilling.

Foreign governments are well aware that horses cannot now be had by the mere purchase of them in numbers anything like sufficient to supply their demandp. indeed the scarcity of army material in the shape of horse flesh is not to be had in anything like ap proaching the numbers required. The United States has spent an av erage of S30.000 a year on cavalry horses France has noted Sl.-'OQ.OOO and Germany S9i0.0G0 to horse breed- I Ing. In England they spend something aver S20.000 a j par for breeding horses. Aiany of which are at onre marked down by foreign buyers, and the short age of iicrses bred in this country durinz the last three years amounts to something like 30.000 and in spite of the huge proportions of their army estimates, the remount department. The scarcity of horses in the British army is appalling, the breeding of suit able horses in England sinks progres sivelj and official condemnation of ex isting methods of a new organization have disturbed the horse societies and the industry in general. Fanners, who must be the natural agents In breeding horses are out of touch with the war office, and are giving up what might be a sound and fairly lucrative part of their business. Such facts as these ought to open the eyes of alert America whose fa cilities for stock raising are unlimited. AH the peace congresses in the world GUERNSEY IS 1 a; The first official record of imported Guernseys occurred in 1S33, when a sea captain while stopping at the is land, bought a pair and sent them to his brother in New Hampshire. Sincr then their growth in popular favor has been steady, the improvement of :be breed, along scientific lines, has been pronounced and it has resulted in ,ce of the greatest of dairy breeds. The New England states have re mained the center of the Guernsey industry and proud of the fine, record breaking herds which they have its- Cutting Alfalfa. Alfalfa should be cut when it begins to blossom, or even before if the leaves begin to turn yellow. The field should not be pastured. When used as a green fodder alfalfa should pre ferably be allowed to wilt before it is jjetj. The djjed ba cnt and cured at the proper time ranks above other for age crops of the same class and is an Ideal feed for cattle, horses, hogs and poultry. Ground alfalfa meal made and sold by dealers in the west retails In the east for poultry feeding at $40 to $50 a ton. Professor Davis says every farmer should aim to have a field of alfalfa, and even thought the first trials are not a success, to keep at it and success will come sooner or later, and the best paying crop on the farm be established. Too Many Roosters. Do not keep too many male birds as they are not needed for breeders and are a constant expense. Hens lay as well or better without them and the eggs keep longer, are better for storage and private customers. Twenty hens, the best you have.

Yes. wars will go on. and horses will be required more than ever al though peace rest upon the greater part of the world today. Since racing laws bave come into effect in various parts of the country and so much thoroughbred stock has been, and is still be sold and widely dispersed and there are still many horses of this class for sale, there has never been a more opportune time for the far sight ed American to gather in the best stamp of thoroughbred stallions and the best class of brood mares for the purpose of breeding a good standard cf army horse to supply the enormous armies of the great military nations of the world, to say nothing of the United States army Itself. Artillery, cavalry and mounted In fantry, are now the arms of the serv ice upon which the outcome of a cam paign depends, and this force to be effective must be horsed in such a way as to leave no possible doubt as to the standard. It must be as fast as it is possible to make it. always in condition, trained to the hour, and "fit to go." at a moment's notice. The makings of such horses as these would always be on hand for the great armies of the earth of the large ranch owners if the rolling west would start in and breed a class of horse that would meet their demands.

It should be made flush with the very top o the pall, so as to avoid a groove which will conduct material from the. top of the pall around to the opening and into the milk.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA A few days after birth we noticed an inflamed spot on our baby's hip which soon began spreading until baby was completely covered even in his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight weeks he was bandaged from head to foot. He could not have a stitch of clothing on. Our regular physician pronounced It chronic eczema. He is a very able physician and ranks with the best in this locality, nevertheless, the disease began spreading until baby was completely covered. He was losing flesh so rapidly that we be came alarmed and decided to try Cuti cura Soap and Ointment. "Not until I commenced using Cuti cura Soap and Ointment could we tell what he looked like, as we dared not wash him. and I had been putting one application after another on him. On removing the scale from his head the hair came off, and left him entirely bald, but since we have been using Cuticura .Soap and Ointment he has as much hair as ever. Four weeks after wo began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment he was entirely cured. I don't believe anyone could have eczema worse than our baby. "Before we used the Cuticura Rem edies we could hardly look at him, he was such a pitiful sight. He would fuss until I would treat him. they semed to relieve him so much. Cuti cura Soap and Ointment stand by themselves and the result they quick ly and surely bring is their own rec ommendation." (Signed) Mr3. T. B. Rosser, Mill Hall. Pa.. Feb. 20. 1911.
