MARK THESE FACTS
The Testimony Of the Whole World,
Holloway's Ointment /!

Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Sores and Ulcers.
All descriptions of sores are remedied by the
proper use of this inestimable preparation. To
attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges
Of the wound together is a folly; for should the
skin unite, boggy, diseased condition remains
underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a
few days. The only rational and successful treat
ment as indicated by nature, is to reduce the in
lamation in and about the wound and to soothe
the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty
Of the Ointment as salt Is forced into meat.
This will cause the malignant humors to be
drained off from the hard, swollen and diseolOred
parts round the wound, sore, or ulcer, and when
these humors are removed, the wounds them
selves will coon heal. Warm bread and water
poultices applied to the affected parts after the
Ointment has been thoroughly rubbed in. will
soothe and soften the same, and greatly assist
the cure. There is q description of ulcer, sore
and swelling, which need not be named here, at
tendant upon the follies Of youth, and for which
this Ointment is urgently recommended as a SOW
ereign remedy. In curing such poisonous sores
it never fails to restore the system to healthy
state If the Pills be taken according to the print
ed instructions. u4rts

Potatoes as Food for Stock.

Potatoes in many localities distant
from market are this season so abundant
and cheap that they can only be used to
advantage for feeding out to stock. 1t
is true that certain agricultural writers
have Of late endeavored to show that this
valuable tuber was of little or no value
for such purposes, but it is very probable
that the gentlemen who advance such
theories are not practical agricul,urists.
The value of the potato rs food for man
and many of our domestic animals is too
well known to be discarded at this late
day in consequence Of anything which
may be written by theoretical chemists
or agriculturists.
But while the potato has been bone
of contention among agriculturists for
many years, its practical and specific
value as food for stock has never been
disproved when put to the test. The
celebrated veterinarian, William Youatt,
in speaking of the value of the various
kinds of roots as food for stock, says OF
the potato: Among the various veget-
able productions that have been appro-
priated to the stall-feeding of cattle,
none have oecasioned greater discussion
than potatoes. They furnish an excellent
supply, particularly when cut and steam
cd, they appear adequate to the fattening
OF neat cattle in combination with com
paratively small portions of other food -
In the eleventh volume of the British
Annals of Agriculture" We find some
statements from Mr.. Campbell, Of Charl-
ton, Eng, which bear directly upon this
question. He observes that 100 bushels
of potatoes and 100 pounds of hay are
generally sufficient to fatten any animal
that thrives tolerably well. They should
at first be given in small quantities and
gradually increased to one or two bushels
per day; dry food being always inter-
mixed, and the proportion of hay being
uniformly regulated by the effect which
the potatoes produce on the bowels. The
hay should always be cut in order that it
may be more readily mixed with the po-
tatoes.
We might give almost any amount of
testimony from practical farmers and
stock raisers to corroborate the above,
but think it entirely unnecessary, as it is
quite likely that majority OF our read.
e7s know from experience that potatoes
are valuable food for stock. At the
present price of beef, cheese, butter or
pork, we think our farmers would do
better to feed out their potatoes than to
sell them at twenty cents per bushel and
less, prices at which they have been SOLD
in many localities this season. Potatoes
are too heavy and bulky crop to send
to distant market, but they are readily
turned into beef cheese or butter, and
in these forms the cost of transportation
is greatly reduced.-N. Y. Weekly Sun.

Time to Cut Timber.

Almost all the timber and fuel used is
cut in winter. People find more leisure
at this season, and the roads favor its
transportation; besides the weather is too
hot to work in the woods in August.
Wood cut at that time also makes n poor
show Of sprouts, and unless the trees are
quite young, they usually die without
throwing up suckers for succeeding
growth. Still, it may not always be ad.
visable to cut all timber in winter. The
subject of the following letter from a
correspondent to the New York Herald
is worth thinking about by every builder
or owner of timber lot
If oak. hickory or chestnut timber be
felled in August, in the second running
of the sap, and barked. quite large tree
will season perfectly, and even the twigs
will remain sound for years; whereas that
cut in winter aud remaining till next fall
las thick as your wrist), will be COM
pletely sap-rotten, and will be almost uu-
fit for any purpose. The body of the
oak split into rails viii not last more than
ten or twelve years Chestnut will last
longer, but no comparison TO that cut in
August. Hickory cut in the eighth month
is not subject to be worm-caten, and will
last long time for fencing. When | be-
gan farming in 1902, it was the practice
to cut timber for post fencing in the win
ter. Winter oak posts and black oak
rails, cut at that time, found did not
last more than ten or twelve years. In
1908 l began cutting fence timber in the
eighth month. Many Of the oak rails
cut that year are yet sound, as well as
most of those formed of chestnut. II
the bark be not taken off this month, how
ever, it will peel off itself the second or
third year and leave sap perfectly sound.
The tops Of the trees are also more valu-
able for fuel then than when cut in the
winter or spring. advise young farm
ers to try the experiment for themselves,
and if post fences do not last twice as
long, | forfeit all my experience as worth
less.
