Applications of Hot Water.

d. Hot water taken freely half an hour
before bed time is helpful in constipation.
Headache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application Of hot water to
the feet and back Of the neck.
A towel folded, dipped in hot water,
wrung out rapidly and applied to the
stomach, acts like magic in cases OF collie.
There is nothing that so promptly cuts
short congestion Of the lungs, sore throat
or rheumatism as hot water when ap-
piled promptly and thoroughly.
A towel folded several times and dip
ped in hot water and quickly wrung out
and applied over the toothache or neural

The Total OF Regis tered Cows.

Should every man possess thor
pughbred herd Of cows? is a question
that most people would answer with
an emphatic yes. Where are they to
come from? BY the register books we
find that the four great breeds are
represented as follows by registered
cows: Holsteins, 1886; Ayrshires,
10. 1888; Jerseys $1,000; Guernseys,
1913. The bulls are about half in
number to that of the cows. Thus it
is seen that the total number Of COWS
of the four breeds is but a fraction
compared with the Is, 900, 900 cows in
the country used for dairy purposes.
All farmers should aim to improve the
blood Of their diaries. sud as rule

Farming without Tcnce.

Il Is within the memory OF many
farmers when the fences on iarm
were considered the most important
part of its Improvements. 1t was IN
the days when stock was altogether
kept by pasturing in summer ana
mainly by feeding hay in winter. In
those times the lack OF fencing that
prev ented pasturing the young clover
on grain stubble or the aftermath OF
meadow was regarded as misior-
tune Now 1t is generally known that
young clover should never be pastur-
ed. aud in most cases afterprowth on
meadows may better be left to lie ana
rot on the ground than to build even
II temporary fence for the protection
of adjoining crops when it is pastured.
Many farmers where fencing ma
terial is scarce, have learned to dis
pense entirely with inside fences, and
this tendency is growing. Where 1t
is desirable to pasture cattle or horses
q few days they are tied to stakes
removed daily so rs TO give change OF
feed. But most of the feed is cut
green. and taken to the stable, where
the animals remain sheltered from the
burning sum- and in greater comfort
than they could be running at large.
The greater amount of feed that land
produces in soilinR crops makes this
cheaper than pasturing. 1t enables
more stock to be kept more manure
to be made, and this is naturally fol-
lowed by more thorough cultivation OF
the soil. We believe this plan can be
followed more generally than is often
supposed. 1t is not merely adapted
to dear land near cities, but is OF equal
advantage on cheaper land. with this
condition, THAT there be on the latter
the means for supplying plenty of
manure and plenty of labor. 1t is the
lack of these conditions that make it
harder to bring up poor land at dis
lance from cities or large villages.
The way to dispense with fences is
TO begin soiling or part soiling on a
small scale at first 1t needs rich
land to grow soiling crops probably,
and the first year or two only a small
piecS can be got in proper condition.
II manure or grain for feeding stock
can be bought, land may be brought
up to the soiling standard more rapidly.
But in either case it will be idle tt
expect profitable returns except with
good stock. This will require a gooc
deal of attention. and the needed care
will be better given to stock fed b,
hand than to that allowed to run il
enclosed pasture and feed itself. -

Let Us Raise More Sheep.

Sheep, hogs and poultry may, to
certain extent be regarded as the
scavengers of the farm. They eat up

much food that would be otherwise
wasted. But the supply OF this cheap
food is limited. and we may easily
overstock our farms. We can often
buy to advantage food, such as cotton

feed to sheep. provided we have a
quantity of straw. hay and cornstalks

fact in the matter is that at the time

3OO fourteen inches of ore, averaging %
ounces in silver, is now exposed.
According to the laws governing un

obliged to use a cage and guides for sink

do, and the shaft will eretimbered from

where they have both been during the
past five or six weeks endeavoring to
put matters in shape in manner salts

might be resumed in the Trout mine.
Up to the present time, however. nothing

tempt to put this valuable property in
shape so it can be worked Mr.. Caplice,
who has heretofore refused to recognize
any kind of proposition that would re-
lease his claim on the Trout. is now very
anxious to settle the matter up. The
great difficulty seems to be in getting
majority of the owners together so that
some proposal could be made that would
satisfy all. The owners are numerous
and are located in various parts of the
world.
