gether, and until the last few wears was
supposed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Na MannnolY in Poultry.

The rapid multiplication of poultry

and avail himself of the privileges
which cannot be monopolized. 1t is
the only class of stock that permits
science and knowledge to triumph over
wealth and possession, for monopoly

yet patient industry and careful breed

scure and humble, will break down the

Do not omit the cleaning-up process
during the moulting season.
Growing birds must be well fed or
they will go into the winter very poor
and no eggs will be the result.
Fowls demand special care during
autumn months, and with the best at
tention thus, profits follow during the
winter.
1t will pay to select all fowls that
will likely be the most profitable dur
ing the winter and give them special
attention.
Late Matched chicks are not worth
wintering generally, and the best thing
to do with them is to market before
cold weather.

Give the fowls plenty of roosting

have room enough so that they do not
more than touch while on the roosts.

OATS AFTER OATS.
How to Maintain the Fertility of Soil
on Farms Where the Condi-
tons Are UnfnvOrable.

All farmers know that oats are ar
exhaustive crop, and also n that il
is especially hard to get a clover OF
grass seeding with. Where winter
grain is not grown, and oats are the
chief small grain grown, one failure to
seed is apt to be followed by others.
until the land becomes so exhausted
that neither oats nor grass can be
grown. Most of these failures to seed
with spring grain come from blowing
the land in early spring, thus turning
up a lower strata of soil that has not
been properly mellowed by freezing.
The remedy for this is to fall pillow the
land, leaving it rough, and then so soon
as it is fit to work, cultivate it lightly
and put in the grain and grass seed
before blowing can be done. If n frost
freezes the soil an inch or two, after the
grain and grass seed are sown, it will
be all the better for both. If the second
crop of oats fails TO give Il grass and
clover seeding. plow the stubble in the
fall after the oats are off and SOW wheat
or rye. seeding with grass seed in the
fall and with clover seed in the spring.
This rarely fails 10 give Il good grass
catch, and if the season be favorable.
there will be some clover with it, even
IN poor, thin soil.-Prairie Farmer.

How to Handle kafir Fodder.

There is quite a difference in opinion
as to the best method of handling Kaffir
fodder when ii is planted thickly, and
is to be used for feeding and wintering
stock cattle. In general it is believed
that the fodder should be cut and
placed in small shocks when the grains
have passed from the soft stage and
become firm. The fodder will yet be
green, and if put in large shocks will
spoil, but will be excellent feed if prop
erly shocked. In feeding it when pre-
pared in this way the amount given
should not be more than the cattle will
eat up reasonably clean, if too much is
given they will eat only the heads and
waste a large portion of the foddec.-
