Sore Month Among Cattle.

A few weeks ago a disease commonly
salled sore eyes among cattle, assumed
IN epidemic form in some parts of the
country. Now several localities have
reported another disease called sore
mouth or sore foot and it occurs among
animals on pasture (Bulletin No. 81,
Purdue Agriculture Experiment Sta
tion) and is supposed to be due to
some condition of the grass. 1t is not
known to be contagious but it is a
good policy to separate the diseased
and affected as a safe precaution. The
animal ceases eating, stands and fire.
luently champs the jaws, and saliva
arips from the corners of the mouth.
The muzzle has peculiar brownish
hue which extends to the nostrils and
to the inside of the lips. The inside
of the lips, gums, pads and sides of
the tongue become reddish. The
tongue swells, sometimes to such an
extent as to keep the mouth open.
There is very disagreeable odor about
the mouth. After a few days the
membrane peels off the gums, lips and
tongue in patches, leaving them raw.
There is often lameness and soreness
of the teats. The disease runs its
course in six to ten days, during which
time the animal will be unable to eat
anything hard. The bowels are usu-
ally constipated.
The treatment is to apply an astrin-
gent wash. Tannic acid, half ounce,
borax, powdered, one ounce, glycerine
eight ounces, and water sufficient to
make quart, has been recommended
A saturated solution of boracic' acid is
good. Make gruels and sloppy feed
for diet. In few cases this disease
has been reported as black tongue.
This is mistake, as black tongue is
one form of anthrax. New England

Tho Liquor Curse In Alaska.

One OF the least fortunate acts OF the
United States Congress In regard to Alaska
has been the enactlon of n most rigid pro-
htbltory law as to alcoholic liquors, says
David Starr Jordan In the Atlantic This
is an iron-clad statute forbiddlng the i'm
portation, sale, or manufacture OF intoxi-
cants OF any sort in Alaska. The primary
reason for this act Is the desire to protect
the Indians, Aleuts and Eskimos from a
drug OF which they are excessively fond
and which destroys them. But virtuous
statute may be the worst kind OF law, as
was noted long ago by Confuclus. This
statute has not checked the flow OF liquor
In Alaska, while 1t has done more than any
other influence to destroy the respect for
law. In general, men who "are not in
Alaska for their health" are hard drinkers,
and liquor they will have. 1t is shipped to
Alaska as FLORIDA water" ,"Jamaica GIN
ger" "bay rum" Demijohns are placed
the centre OF -four barrels. sugar barrels,
In any package which may contain them.
With all this, there Is a vast amount OF out
right smuggling which the Treasury De-
pa.tment tries in vain to check. All south
eastern Alaska Is one vast harbor, with
thousands of densely wooded islands, most
ly uninhabited. Cargoes Of liquors can be
safely hidden almost anywhere, to be re-
moved piece by piece in smaller boats.
Many such cIrgoes have been seized and
destroyed, but the risk OF capture merely
serves to raise the price OF liquor. Once
on shore the liquor is safe enough. Up
wards OF seventy saloons are running open
ly In Juneau, and perhaps forty In Sitka.
Most OF these houses are the lowest OF their
kind, because, being outlaws to begin with,
the ordinary restraints OF law and order
have no effect on them,

Poultry Notes.

Always have a dry location for the
poultry house.
Overfeeding and lack of freedom
will cause indigestion.
Ducks are heavy feeders and mus
have all they want to eat.
Exposure to bal weather will hur
any stock, young or old.
See that the chicks are in the house
during the frosty nights.
Hens should have some corn, but
corn alone will not do for laying hens.
Do not forget that cleanliness is the
road to success in raising good poul.
try.
If your chickens do not have free
range supply them with fresh green
stuff every day.
The well-fed pullet is On early layer,
provided she has not been too well fed
on fattening food.
An experienced poultry raiser says
he has no trouble with delicate young
turkeys since he adopted introducing
new males each year.
busting can be done by the hens
themselves if they are given an op-
portunity by having at their disposal
sifted dry dirt. Keep the poultry
house clean and the hens will keep
their bodies clear of lice.
Do not crowd the young at night.
Arrange so that their roosting places
arc cool and airy, but not such that
they will be subjected to any drafts of
air, as they will catch cold aud thus
be retarded in growth.
Your culls should not be sold or
separated from your best birds, SO
that those you intend wintering or
selling for breeders will have the best
possible chance to develop into as
good birds as their breeding permits.
The yearlings and two-year- hens
should now be fed largely on oats,
wheat and barley, with some oil meal
or cut bone, as they are fast changing
their wearing apparel and putting on
their new plumage for the winter,

Shipped From Germany in a Van.

Any one who contemplates taking
up permanent residence in the Old
World may secure some novel ideas as
to the transportation of household
goods from the interesting experience
of Miss Drake. Miss Drake, whose
father was at one time United States
Minister to Germany, is a Phila.
delphian, but has been residing for
some years in Weisbaden, Germany.
Recently she decided to return to her
native city, but was fearful lest some
household effects should suffer dam.
age in transit. She hit upon a plan
which was decidedly novel, although
somewhat expensive. She hired one
of the largest furniture vans to be had
in Europe, and in it were packed her
household goods under her close and
careful supervision. Six strong horses
drew the van from Weisbaden to Ham,
burg, where the body of the vehicle
was lifted from the axles and deposited
in the hold Of the German steamship
Assyria, which was bound. for Phila.
delphia. Upon the arrival of the
Assyria at this port a few days ago
Collector Thomas, upon the applica.
ton of E. Buchey & Co., the repre-.
sentatives of Miss Drake, detailed
Customs Inspector Mcguire to take
charge of the vehicle. The huge box

Keep all tools free from rust.
Those who have attempted to plow
with rusty plows, or saw with rusty
saw, or hoe with rusty hoe, will ap-
preciate this. l seldom leave any of
my tools out over night, and never
during a rain. If plowing or cultivat-
ing 1 arrange the work so as to go
from any remote part of the field to
the part nearest the barn or shed and
do work as 1 so, in case storm
should come up, or the dinner bell
ring, or the day should close; and
then it is much cheaper and easier to
take the tool along and house it care
fully, and much less wearing to the
patience. than to try to use it when
rusted, or to have the bother and loss
of time of first cleaning it. l have
tools that 1 have had ten and twelve
years that have never been left out
over night, nor through rain that
drove me to shelter. Furthermore,
beside housing tools at the close of
the season, or indeed any time, see
that all needed repairs are made and
that they are protected as far as possi-
bic from rust. 1 take the shovels and
tongues of my cultivating tools and
put them in an old coal bucket and
cover with coal oil, and breaking
plows and other bright surfaces rub
over with woolen cloth thoroughly
dampened with coal oil. Because of
this care my tools look like new and
are always ready for service.
Tools should be used gently and
carefully. 1t pays. To me it is pro-
voking to see one cut his saw upon
nails, strike his ak or hatchet down
upon the ground or upon gritty places,
to run his planes over dirt and dust,
to drive his wagon or buggy on a
round trot over stony and rough
places, to force his plows and harrow,
and cultivators through roots and ovel
stones in hurly burly manner, or to
throw his forks and rakes and hoes
from place to place. Better spend on,
minute to walk across the barn floor
to set the fork down carefully in its
place, than to have to spend perhaps
an hour and probably twenty or twen-
ty-fve cents for repairs. Better go
more slowly and load less heavily than
by fast going and heavily loading null
tiply expenses.

painted are kept nicely painted.

peepenIng Fertile Soil.

Every farmer who has cultivated
land where an underlying bed of rock
comes near to the surface, knows
what disadvantage such soil has
when drought comes. 1t is hardly
less disadvantage TO have only few
inches of fertile soil near the surface,
while all below is hard clay or sand
that contains little of the elements of
fertility. To make such soils deeper
is the first wish of the farmer. But it
is matter that is not always easily
accomplished. Merely plowing up
some ofthis subsoll and bringing it to
the surface may or may not be good
policy, according to what the subsoil
is. Most clay soils have some potash
and some have phosphate also. To
turn up little of this to be acted on
by frost and air will help make these
mineral elements available. But if
done it should be always plowed in
fall, so that the subsoil may be on the
surface where it is sure to get repeated
freezing and thawing.
The most common objection to fall
plowing, that it merely brings to the
surface larger amount of rich soil to
be acted upon by frost, and either
blown away by winds or washed away
during winter, is wholly done away
with if the plow is run an inch or two
deeper, bringing up soil that will not
be washed away, because, until win
ter's freezing, it has no soluble plant
food. Some of this soil made into fine
dust will be blown away into adjoining
fields, but if they are in grass this top
dressing of subsoil, that few months
before had no fertility, will produce
remarkable results. If in spring this
inch or two of subsoil can be culti-
vated in so as to mix with the richer
soil beneath, both will be benefited.
The fertility is of different kinds, and
both are needed for most kinds of
crops.
Some farm ers still plow to depth
Of seven, eight or nine inches for
their corn. If the land has been used
to this deep plowing and has grown
several crops of clover, this will not
probably injure their corn crop, even
if dono in spring, But it is far better
where such deep plowing is contem-
plated to do the work in the fall, let
ting frost go through the entire fur.
row as it will, and mellowing it to the
full depth it has been plowed. Deep
plowing in the fall allows the water
from the rains and SHOWS to sink into
the soil, so as to store much greater
amount than the soil could receive if
the plowing had been deferred until
spring. Hence the deepening of soil
by deep fall plowing is one of the best
securities that crops on land thus
treated shall not suffer from drought

Practical Suggestions From Experience

Practical Suggestions From Experience.
All tools for safe, easy and success
