TREATMENT OF NANCE.
Recipe for a Salve Which Is Said
Produce Good Results.

Recipe for a Salve Which Is said to
Produce Good Results.
Scurf or mango is sometimes difficult
TO cure. 1t is caused by a small mite
that burrows in the skin, and to get rid
Of it the mite must be destroyed The
treatment mentioned has such tend
ency, but as the application is most
effective when applied locally there has
been too much reliance upon the in
ternal treatment. The sulphur inter
nally is not harmful, but it viii take
too much time; the process is too slow,
says Breeders Gazette.
In the first place, the pens and sleep
ing quarters should be frequently dis
infected with crude carbolic acid and
lime. The surface affected should be
treated with salve made as follows:
Four ounces of sahcylic acid, the same
amount of hyPosulphite of sodium,
eight ounces of cosmoine or lard; and
if the lard is used a small amount of
beeswax should be added to make the
mixture firm. The cosmoline or lard
should be melted over a slow fire, and
while it is warm enough sti1 to remain
q liquid stir in the other ingredients
slowly until they are thoroughly mixed.
When cold apply to the diseased skin of
the hogs every day until cure is ef-
fected. If many hogs are to be treated
the amount should be doubled or quad
rupled, as the necessities may require.
In stirring in the salicyic acid care
should be used TO keep the face away
from the mixture, or the person who
does the work will have q violent case
of sneezing. The salve mentioned is
good for man or beast where there is
a violent and persistent eruption of
the skin Do not forget to disinfeet
the pens and sleeping quarters of the
animals. The crude carbolic acid is
good, but when applied strong enough
TO be effective it is likely TO make the
animals sick

There is no part of farming at the
present day SO much neglected as the
meadow, and there is no crop grown

the farmer is that the meadow does not
require any cultivation or care. THE

1t is quite plain you have been rob

turning nothing. Worse than that;
you have allowed the moss to creep in

hauling as evenly as you can with a
fork. Then as early as you can get on
the meadow in March, or as soon as the
frost is out and the ground dry enough
to get on with team, take z good har-
row and drag it thoroughly, and then
cross-harrow it. You will imagine you
are going to ruin your meadow, but you
are simply loosening the roots and Civ

time comes you viii find you not only
did not injure your meadow, but great
" increased your crop of grass, and
also improved your ground. This mat
ter of cultivating grass is not a mere
theory" 1t is principle, proved to be
correct by actual trial with profitable
results. In 1882 Josiah Bagley, of Sc
rena, from a Sx-acre meadow took
IL loads of hay, with no after-crop.
The following season he manured and
cultivated the same six acres substan-
tally as outlined above. Some of his
neighbors laughed at him; but about
the 10th of July. 1888, he cut 10 loads of
grass from these six acres, and in the
last of September cut a second crop of
nine loads. He says: 81 am an advo-
cate Of: cultivating grass."-J. E. Por-
ter, in Prairie Farmer.

Small Hogs Pay Rest

Immense size is no longer sought as
n former times. Smaller animals are
made ready for the shambles more
economically, tine meat is more pala-
table and maturity is gained in a short
er time. 1t has been the constant aim
OF intelligent breeders TO produce an
animal that will fatten at any age and
a great measure of success in that di-
Iection has been attained. Formerly
the farmer believed il to be necessary
for his pigs to be narrowed in August
OF early September for his pork supply
il the autumn of the next year. Thus
they would be several months more
than year old when slaughtered. while
ROW, by the aid of improved breeds and
better system of feeding. a compound
hog can be produced in less than halt
time, better. more salable and of course
at less outlay.-Rural World.

diameter 5 blades viii suffice. The log
must be heavy enough so that the

HINTS FOR SToCKMEN.

1t is claimed that there are not
enough heavy draft horses to supply
the market. Make that plain and the
supply Will be coming.
Misrepresentation as to the pedigree
of a stallion is crime that should be
severely punished. Yet it is harmless if
people viii only investigate.
There is complaint against the work
done by dehorning clippers and prefer
ence expressed for the saw, The clip
pers are all right if used according to
directions.
The balky horse and the swearing
driver are two nuisances where the
horse should have the monopoly. Keep
your temper and in some way get the
horse TO think of something else. AS
soon as you do he will go.
Hard roads bang up the feet of the
horse. and it is question if hard roads
are not as wearing on the horse as soft
roads are. But independent of that
hard roads are desirable when they can
be had without too much burden to the
farmer.
The 1,2Oo-Pound hog-and one man
claims TO have one-is not desirable or
profitable. We once saw a pen of ten
hogs where aggregate weight was TO-
600 pounds. Hogs to weigh must be
kept until the second year. and that Of
Itself is not advisable.
Secretary Wilson thinks that hog
cholera can be "abolished'' and will
study the thing from a to z. It has
been studied already, but the more it
is studied the worse it is. Feed less
corn. breed from more mature stock
and keep the hogs under healthful con-
ditions are all the science there is to
the subject.-Western Plowman.

Id Cured Her

A wellknown Louisville woman was III.
and her physician pronounced her in q
critical condition Among the sympathetic
nelghbors was a pretty widow who was
lavish in her expressions of sympathy for
the husband and children. And It came to
pass that she began TO sympathiZe with
them to such an extent that she spent most
of her time at the house. When the wife
was thought TO be sinking and the family
were beginning to fear the worst, the
widow walked up to the husband and said:
dear children. 1t will be awful If they are
to be reared up without mother TO care
for them" At this injunction the wife,
with a mighty effort, raised up in her bed
with the words: '-0h, you needn't be wor-
red; am not going to die. No, viii not
die, and can get along very well without
your assistance In the future" From that
time the woman rallied, and is now hale
and hearty.-Louisville Dispatch

our WeaIth in Grass.

Mr.. Scribner, of the department of
agriculture, has recently collected
some very interesting facts about
American grasses. he says: I'VE have
better grasses and a greater variety of
them native TO our soil than We can
ever get from Europe" OF c1overs we
have no less than 90 species. all native
to the country. and there is an equal
number of different blue grasses" be
sides 20 grazing grasses" and great
variety of others. Yet, Mr.. Scribner
says, hardly more than dozen of all
these kinds of native grasses have been
brought into cultivation
