If an animal gets cut on barb wire
fence, apply carbOlic acid diluted with
enough water SC it turns the flesh
milky white as first, then gradually
weaken the solution. 1t will heal
faster than anything / have ever tried.
If chicken gets ScabS and sores on
combs and wattleS, and i'm the eyes,
open the sores, take the yellow Jumps
of canker out of the eyes with stick
and apply carbOlic acid and water,
equal parts: it will not hurt the eyes,
but will cure i'm one or two applica-
tiOns. If a cows teatS break out in
bliSterS and then form very ugly, raw
sores, apply carbOlic acid and water,
three parts of the latter to one part of
the former, at first, then as healing
begins weaken the solution. 1t will
cure.-Cor. EpitOmist.
One of the most encouraging signs of
the return of better times i'm the horse
breeding business is the demand that
exists at all the great horse markets
for smooth farm chunks, weighing
from 100 to hoo pounds each.
These horses are taken i'm punches into
the country, and there sold to farmers
who have come to the conclusion that
old Dali and Bill are no longer able to
do the work. The old geldings worked
we'll while they were at it, and for
quite while at that, but they would
not last forever and the result is that
those farmers who quite breeding
altogether in 1893 and 1864 have now
no young things coming on to take the
place of the old workers and have to
pay out their good money for power to
do their spring work.
Last September when wheat was
selling at 81 to 6 cents per bushel, the
Farmers Home Journal urged farmers
to build bins and granaries and hold
for an advance. A few of them did it,
bnt the greater number stored or pre-
tended to store with millers, giving
them the privilege of grinding their
wheat whenever they wanted to, but
still paying storage fees, thus taking
millers practically out Of the market.
Notwithstanding this silly action by
the farmers, wheat has advanced in
the last six or eight weeks 10 to 10 cts.
per busnel. If farmers had held their
wheat themselves, OF had not allowed
millers to grind it up free, the prOba-
bilities are that the advance would
have been 30 to 40 cents and that it
would have come much earlier.-Ex.
Hemp seed is now worth $3.50 for
the best and the price may increase to
s. before sowing as farmers will raise
more hemp and less tobacco if the
| present prices in tobacco do not in
crease. To the Kentucky farmers it is
a sad fact that each year sees less ht mp
raised. For the past few years the
average has been about 5000 tons. 1t
is especially sad to the old farmers who
can remember when Kentucky prOduc-
ed 40, 900 tons of hemp. This is the re-
suit of various cases. Before the war
the cotton output was tremendous and
our hemp was required to wrap up the
cotton and our hemp was used to tie
the covering on the cotton. The war
came on and destroyed many of the
cotton fields so there was a less demand
for Kentucky's hemp. After the war
jute was used instead of hemp to make
the coverings to the cotton bales. Then
law was passed by Congress relieving
Manila of its duty. In this manner
! what little hope was had in the hemp
as rope, corn, Irvine, ETC., vanished
