pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have 30

Pasturing Cattle and Sheep Together.

1t has been said by staid old farm
err, who is quoted as very good author
ity, that q pasture which will keep
two sheep for every head of cattle, and
there will be but little loss of pasture
for the COWS. This may be true of GER
tain kinds of pasture, but if cattle and
sheep are to be pastured together the
pasture should be of the very best kind.
Sheep will do better on pasture with
cattle than the cattle, because they can
bite closer and they Craze the sweeter
sorts, while the cattle may want for a
full bite or be compelled to work hard
er to get sufficient, while the pasture
affords sufficient for the sheep. There
is some gain in pasturing sheep with
cattle liz some places, and on some
kinds of pasture, and, while this is
true, it may also be said that there is
often some loss. Sheep will Craze
close and will also Craze where COWS
have voided, but they are slow to Craze
after their own weddings if distributed
in profusion. When sheep are kept
with cattle they become accustomed to
staying with them and will not try
fence as much as if they were alone.
Cattle will keep dogs and wolves from
sheep, and especially is this the case
where there are COWS with calves.
There is one danger in pasturing horn
ed cattle with sheep-they often cause
abortion by hooking or bunting the
ewes when they are heavy with lamb.
This would seem to be fallacious, but
it should be remembered that the sheep
soon become accustomed to the cattle
and they will not get out of their way,
as they would do if they were placed
together only occasionally. Sheep pre-
fer pasturage that is short and sweet
rather than long and luxuriant. Cattle
thrive best where full bite can be had
at all times. Cattle do very well on
clover Sheep do not do so well on
clover as they do on bluegrass. Cattle
will hoove on clover and 80 will sheep,
and there is greater danger with sheep
than with cattle. So there is only one
condition in which cattle and sheep
should be pastured together, and that
is when they have plenty of pasture.
There is not so much danger Of the
cattle starving the sheep out as there
is in the sheep starving the cattle out.
There have been many bloody battles
between sheep and cattle owners on
the plains where sheep have pastured
over the short and scanty pastures, ut
terly starving out herds of cattle. On
the tame grasses this is not always the
case except in Overlooking. Sheep
are supposed to be poison to pasture,
but this is not the case. They are
great feeders and they are also noted
for industry, and they will get enough
to eat if they have TO keep "picking'
all the time. There is room for few
sheep on every farm, and they may be
pastured with the cattle to very good
advantage. If not pastured too close
ly, l believe the pasture will be the bet
ter by the sheep being there.-[George
w. Franklin in Prairie Farmer.

The Value of Ashes as a Fertilizer.

Cottonhull ashes furnish potash in
the form which is most popular among
the expert tobacco growers. The de-
mand for these ashes usually exceeds
the supply. The coming season the
supply will be less than ever, owing to
the short cotton crop. Southern farm
ers ought to use every pound of these
ashes, instead of permitting them to be
shipped north. They were sold last
year at $34 to $40 per ton net to North
ern farmers at which price the potash
in them cost 4.3 to S.3 cents, averaging
about cents per pound. The cotton
hull ashes sold the last year have been
of better average quality than those
previously on the market, because the
millers have taken more care to have
their ashes pure.
Unleached wood ashes continue to
be very popular fertilizer, and are
imported from Canada in great quanti-
ties. AS the Connecticut Experiment
Station well says, the lime in unleached
wood ashes is worth more on the soil I'M
der some conditions than are the potash
and phosphoric acid they contain. In
other cases, cottonhull ashes contain all
the alkali the soil requires, and it is
pointed out that ton of the latter,
costing $40 will supply as much potash
and phosphoric acid as six tons of wood
ashes, costing $63. The six tons of
wood ashes, however, carry $3.50
pounds more lime than ton of hull
ashes. 1t is perfectly true, also, that
the amounts of phosphoric acid and
potash furnished in wood ashes can be
bought cheaper in other forms, yet it is
equally true for the reasons just noted
that unleached wood ashes produce
better results, dollar for dollar, than
would the same elements in other
forms. The continued popularity OF
wood ashes seems to be due to this
agricultural value and crop-producing
power, which, in this case, as in many
others, is quite different from the esti-
mated commercial value. Out of six
teen samples of unleached wood ashes
analysed the Connecticut Station during
the last year, only one was deficient in
soluble potash, it having u per cent Of
potash soluble in water, whereas all the
other samples ranged from 3.6 to per
cent. In two samples, the proportion
of phosphoric acid was below the aver
age, the usual range being from II to
24 per cent. Their average proportion
was Al per cent potash, and phosphoric
acid, II. These ashes usually contain
between 45 and so per cent of carbonate
of lime and some Is per cent of coal,
sand and earth, and cost the farmers
$40 to $l1.50 per ton. Allowing one
half cent per pound for carbonate of
lime, and five cents for phosphoric acid,
the potash in unleached ashes of stand
ard quality, at $40 ton, costs just
about four cents per pound. But if
the lime is reckoned as only one. quar-
ter cent, the potash costs about seven
cents per pound. Leached ashes have
lost most of their potash, and are hardly
worth buying, though it will pay to
haul quite distance if they can be had
for nothing. Coal ashes contain no
available plant food worth mention
ing.-American Agriculturist.

Cut Oats Early.

When the oats are to be used for
feed they should always be cut while
the grain is in the dough. From re-
peated trials am convinced that if cut
while yet in the dough the yield would
be great deal more and of better quail
ity. Besides the straw will make much
better roughage. Last year had
piece of oats containing seventeen
acres and as part of it was rusty and
weedy cut ten acres while the grain
was in the dough and the straw was
yet quite green. At the time it was
cut the straw stood up perfectly
straight. But as thought that it was
too green l let seven acres stand four
days longer. After cutting the first
part light rain fell and very hot sultry
weather set in. When l came to cut
the remainder 1t was overripe and
about four-ffths of it was badly lodged.
also found that it had shelled out 80
the ground was white with oats. Judg-
ing from the amount that sprouted af-
ter the field was plowed, as much as
five to eight bushels to the acre must
have been wasted. This loss was all
due to letting the oats become overripe.
Of course the very unfavorable wealth
er did good deal of the damage, but
as there had not been any storm along
with the rain, the main loss was caused
by letting the oats become too ripe.
The grain was also heavier and bright
er from the oats first cut and the yield
fully One-fourth more, although at first
the seven-acre field yielded the best
oats.
When the oats are to be used for
seed it is necessary that they become
perfectly ripe and special care should
be taken to have them thoroughly dry
before stacking and threshing. Many
oats are spoiled by being stacked while
they contain moisture. They will heat
much sooner in the stack than wheat or
any other kind of small grain. If the
straw should happen to be little green
when the oats are cut the bundles
should be small and set up in long
shocks containing not more than eight
bundles each.-New England Farmer.
