A simple Kennedy for Worms In

The simplest remedy for worms in hogs,
cattle and sheep is turpentine mixed with
a little feed, or given in Linseed oil or
Cruel two ounces for a COW or OK, and one
fourth or less for smaller animals. accord

adult bovines: Linseed oil, one pint tur-
pentine, two onnces: infusion OF guassia,

being present are: general weakness and in
action, falling off OF flesh, capricious appe-

Rai.inx Peanuts,
T>pirit of Kansas
As was helping my wife gather some
peanuts this forenoon, found the yield so
large that | concluded TO send you some as
sample Ny wife planted patch abou;
twelve feet square, and from that small
piece OF ground We gathered at least two
bushels. When We go to store to buy
peanuts We have TO pay at the rate OF four
dollars per bushel. IL We could sell at the
rate OF two dollars per bushel, or even less,
you can see that this crop would pay better
than most anything else that We raise.

He Careful in inspecting Seeds for
Future Planting.
Boston Traveller, p.
Every farmer and gardener should con-
slider himself as seli-appointed seed inspec-
tor and tester, so far as trying seeds is con-
cerned, in order that he may know their
quality, whether flower, garden or field
seeds, before sowing or planting them.
Cheating In seeds has become common.
Would the licensing Of seed sellers be any
better guarantee for good seeds than the
licensing OF liquor sellers Is for good
liquors? Ii not, what advantage would
there be inappointing inspectors and grant
ing licenses?
Good Fail Feed.
lDirigo Journal.l
good dairyman gives his experience
that bran is an excellent food for cows at
any time when extra food is required. He
has generally been able to get from it more
milk than from an equal cost OF any other
ground feed. 1t is better suited to warm
weather than meal. As the weather be-
comes cool, if cows are at all thin, meal
may be proftably added. At any rate he
advises that feed enough of some kind
should be given 10 keep up both milk and
strength all the fall. One of the worst er
rors a dairyman ever commits is TO let
COW 60 into winter quarters dropping.
Field Meetings are Beneficial.
Boston Traveller, 25.

field meetings, says a contemporary. One
significant advantage of these out-of-door
meetings, he continues to say, is that the
speakers at the conferences are farmers.
This is healthy indication, and showspro-
gress over years past, when this work was
invariably delegated to professional public
speakers, very often to political hacks and
demagogues, who eagerly sought every such
occasion to further their own selfish inter-
ests. All honor to the men and means that
have aided in bringing about this encour-
aging result-that have been remotely or
directly instrumental in ushering in the era
OF thought and investigation.
The Kind of Hog. that Sell.
Prairie Farmer, 20.
Hogs in good condition outsell heavy
ones. They really ought to bring more
per pound, from the fact that the frame,
once made, the mere putting on OF addi-
tional fat is comparatively easy. While
this is true, it is as true that the diff
ference in the price OF hogs suitable for
heavy side pork or the rendering tank.
For hams for city use especially, and for
bacon, light class of hogs Is desirable
those not weighing over POO pounds. These
also are not requires 10 be exclusively tat
nevertheless the pigs must not only be in
good condition, hut meaty. This class of
hogs whatever the market price OF ordinary
hogs, will always commaud ready sale
and brings top prices.
The Originator OF the Dairy sys-
tenn.
Boston Traveller, %
The question is raised as to whom belongs
the credit OF originating the associated
dairy system, ii being ascribed generally
to Jesse Williams, OF the State OF New
York, in 1851. j. G. Piclet, of Wisconsin,
puts in claim for his mother for 1911, ten
years before the time Of Mr.. Williams.
Long before ISL the associated dairy sys-
tenn was practiced in Massachusetts, when
several neighbors were wont to put the
milk of several, two or three or more, COW
dairies together for the purpose OF making
larger and bitter cheese than each could
make separately with his small parcel OF
milk. If Mr.. Pictet puts in his claim ON
this ground, as he seems to. then the assO-
ciated dairy system was practiced, TO our
long before lSll. Neverthe
les, We think Mr.. Williams claim as the
originator of the present chese.fIctOry sys-
TEN is undoubted.
The Time TO shelter stock.

pare ample shelter for all OF their stock. |
