A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which VIII In
terest Catarrh Sufferers.

In its early stages catarrh is more of a
nuisance than a menace to the general
health, but sooner or later the disease
extends to the throat, bronchial tubes,
and even to the stomach and intestines-
Catarrh is essentially a. disease of the
mucous membrane, the local symptoms
being profuse discharge of mucous,
stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in
throat. causing coughing, sneeZing,
gagging and frequent clearings of the
throat and head.
The usual treatment by local douches,
snuffs, sa1ves, etc, often gives tempo
rary relief, but anything like a cure can
only be obtained by a treatment which
removes the catarrhal faint from the
blood and the disappearance of the in
f1ammation from the mucous surfaces.
A new remedy which meets these re-
qufrements, and which so far has been
remarkably successful: in curing catarrh,
is Stuart''s Catarrh Tablets.
These tablets act upon the blood and
mucous membranes only. They can
hardly be called a secret patent medicine,
as they are composed of such valuable
remedies as Sanguinaria, HydraStin,
Eucalypto1 and similar cleansing anti
septies. which cure by eliminating from
the blood and mucous surfaces the Ca
tarrhal poison.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large,
pleasant tasting lozenges, taken inter
nalIy, allowing them to dissolve slowly in
the mouth. In this way they reach the
throat, fauces and the entire allmentary
canal.
If desired, they may also be dissolved
in water and used as douche, in addi-
ton to the internal use, but 1t IS not at
all necessary to use a douche; a few of
them dissolved in the mouth daily viii
be sufficient. However, when there is
much stoDpage of the nose a douche
made from these tablets will give inme-
date relief, but the regular daily use In
ternally of these tablets will cure the
whole catarrhal trouble without resort

LIFE COMPANION
And a Very Undesirable One.

With thousands of people in this eli
mate, catarrh is a constant and lifelong
companion; it gets better at times, but
each year becomes gradually deeper seat
ed, and after a time the individual resigns
himself to it as a necessary. evil.
Catarrh cures are almost as numerous
as catarrh sufferers, but are nearly all
so inconvenient and ineffective as to rem
der their use a nuisance nearly as annoy
ing as catarrh itself.
It would seem at first glance that ca
tarrh, being a disease of the mucous
membrane, that salves, sprays. etc, be-
ing applied directly to the membranes
would be the most rational method, but
this has proven not to be true
The mucous membrane is made and
repaired from the blood, and catarrh is
a blood disorder, and a remedy to be per-
manent must act on the blood, and when
purified from eatarrh poison the secre-
tons from the mucous membrane will
become natural and healthy.
There are a number of excellent inter-
nal remedies for catarrh, but probably
the best, and certainly the safest. is a
new remedy composed of Eucalyptol
Hydrastin, Sanguinaria and other catarrh
specifics. This remedy is in tablet FORM
pleasant to the taste and sold by drug

WINTER EGGS.

Many farmers do not get an egg
in winter. well remember the time
we thought it necessary to put

winter use. For about fifteen years
we have had all the fresh eggs dur
ing the winter that we needed, and
some to sell. It is simply a matter
of care and feeding after one gets
fowls of good quality. The farmer
who will provide good quarters for
his fowls, see that they are provided
with water, crushed oyster shell and
grit, that they are kept under cover
during rainy, snowy and bitter cold
weather, that they have plenty of
litter to scratch among, that they
are supplied with plenty of oats and
wheat bran dry, little corn, and a
small quantity of some sort Of vege.

all the eggs needed in his kitchen the
winter long. Don't keep too many
fowls together, and don't forget to
give them as good attention as you
give the horses. They will pay for

on the ear, the front teeth become so
sore they can hardly shell 1T. The
excrements of animals fed on dry
corn contain a large proportion OF
undigested fragments. This is ap-
parent to the most casual observer.
All this year we have been feeding
our horses and mules on soaked corn
with decided gain. Many horses
have a vicious habit of boiling their
grain, while old animals have faulty
teeth, which prevent them from
crushing hard grain. believe we
are saving 20 per cent. of grain by
this simple practice. We never
allow the soaked corn to become
sour. It is we'll to have two barrels
to use on alternate days. If the
weather be very hot, the corn should
not remain in soak more than twelve
hours. In cool weather it may re-
main twenty-four hours or longer.

This danger of weakening the birds
with warm houses will also make it
self felt in the matter of eating. The

It is better not to keep them at all
than to weaken their bodies with too
much.
When you begin to heat the winter
quarters of chickens you also get
into trouble with ventilation. 1t is
almost impossible to heat a chicken
house without making the air poor
and vitiated. In spite of all the
patents and improvements the ven
tilation is poor, and with high tenn
perature the quarters are rendered
uncomfortable and highly disagree
able. What we need is to feed the
chickens so they can supply the heat
for themselves in fat and feathers,
and then if protected from winds,
storms and drafts they will thrive
and lay their share of winter eggs.

The Dairy.
THE GOOD EFFECTS OF A CREAMERY.

In summary of the points in ia
vor of the creamery system, the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture gives the following:
First-The quality of the whole
factory product is equal to or better
than the best of the single dairies in
the same community.
Second-A greater quantity of but
ter produced from the same COW.
Third-The average selling price
and the net returns per pound of but
ter considerably increased.
Fourth-The gains sufficient to
cover the whole cost of running the
creamery, thus causing:
Fifth-The cash income of the
farmer from given number of
COWS, as much and usually more
than the old system, while at the
same time,
Sixth-All the labor, trouble and
expense of making and marketing
the butter is removed from the farm
and households.
Seventh-Relief from the labor of
caring for the milk and cream usu-
ally results in adding to the number
of COWS, and the effect of the friend
ly rivalry between patrons of the
creamery, with the frequent money
measure of the butter capacity of
the COWS, tends to constant i'm
provement in them, and in the con-
sequent profit.

WILL IT PAY TO BUY A SEPARATOR :


Hoard 5 Dairyman is asked the
above question many times a year
and it's answer is generally, "Yes, if
you have eight COWS or more and are
separating your cream yourself, or
intend to-"
A writer in an exchange has fig
ured the matter out in very prac-
tical manner and we copy the same
as follows:
With ten good COWS nobody who
makes milk into butter can afford to
be without separator, for it will
save 25O pounds of butter in a year,
said an expert dairyman of the
Western States not long ago. The
cost of the separator will be 1925.
The interest on that at 6 per cent.
would be $3.50. His machine cost
50 for repairs in five years, making
so cents a year, and one dollar for
oil and an occasional rubber ring.
The machine will, of course, wear
out in time. His has run five years
it is not worn out or anything near
it. But for the sake of having some
basis for figures, he supposes that the
machine must now be thrown away
The account with the separator for
a year would then be thus: Inter
est, 81. so; repairs, 60 cents; oil and
rings, 81; wear on separator, so
total, $19.1O. The $50 pounds of but
ter saved would be, at 20 cents per
pound, $50, and there would be a
profit of 5000. At Is cents per
pound the butter would bring $37. so.
So, reckoning the butter at that very
low price, there would be for every
81 expended nearly 50 received.
With a large number of COWS, and
with power to run the separator, it
will be easy to see that the relative
profit would be greater. Where the
separator is run by hand, there will
be no saving in time to amount to
anything. The time taken in turn
ing the separator and cleaning it
just about equals that taken in set
ting, caring for and skimming the
milk by hand and washing the cans.
There is one gain even then-with
the separator we do not have tc
warm the milk for the calves over
the kitchen stove, which is not &
pleasant job, as many a boy knows
especially when he happens to spill
some milk on the hot stove.

ADVANTAGES OF SOAKED CORN FOR
FEEDING.

For two years we have soaked all
the corn fed to hogs, whether shelled
or on the ear, writes o. @. Wiggin,
Charlotte Co., Va, in the Southern
Planter. We we're led to the prac-
tice by the reports of experiments
made by the Kansas Experiment
Station. The experiments were
chiefly with steers, which showed
that those fed on soaked corn made
a little more gain on a little less grain
than those fed on dry corn. There
appears to be pretty unanimous
opinion in the experiment stations
that soaked corn meal has a marked
advantage over dry meal when fed
to swine Contrary to what would
be expected, cooking food for pigs is
worse than useless. It does not pay
to grind corn for animals. SO say
nearly all the experimenters. 1t is
true, ground corn will give about II
cent. gain over whole dry corn, and
that is just what the miller takes for
toll, and the feeder is out for time
and cost of gcing to mill, which is
considerable in a long haul.
l take it that the chief advantage
in soaking corn lies in the better

the kernels. l find that the teeth of

appointed. Still another class de-
stroY progress already made by re-
sorting to an injudicious cross such
as breeding a SOW of beef br9ed to
a dairy bred bull or stinting draft
mare to a coach or trotting- bred stall
lion.
There is no room on any properly
managed farm for inferior live stock.
It pays no profit and involves a useless
waste of animal foods. Too many
farmers have the erroneous idea that
the we'll bred animal is a luxury that
can only be afforded by the rich. 1t
is true that the training of pure bred
stock for show involves a more or
less elaborate equipment and COM
pels the expenditure of much money.
It is also true that many men of
large means engage in blood-stock
breeding upon an eXtravagant basis.
The fact remains nevertheless that
the average farmer can handle we'll
bred live stock at a relatively greater
profit than the so-called "prOfes-
sionals," F." and is blind to his own best
interest if he negIects to maintain
some suitable variety as a leading
feature of his farming operations.
These truisms have been reiterated
in these columns so often that it may
seem idle to repeat them here. At
the same time the point is one of
such supreme importance that 1T can
not too often be discussed.
Animals of good form and quality
are always saleable, and there is no
farmer, however moderate his means,
but can improve the type of his cat
tie, his sheep, his hogs or his horses
in one generation by resorting to the
use of a pure bred male. Females
can be sent for service to some good
sire in the neighborhood if it is not
deemed expedient to buy one. Where
there is a wish to improve, way
can always be found to make be-
ginning. The desire to rear good
stock instead of scrubs must first
exist. The means of attaining that
end will readily present themselves
if honestly sought.
It is all we'll enough, for example,
to ship in feeding cattle from dis
tance, but why may not the farmers
of the corn and blue grass belt carry
good herds of COWS and rear still
better grade of calves than can
usually be bought on the range or in
central markets? Buyers are scour-
ing the country for good young
steers and cannot find them. Why
do not farmers breed to fill this
steady demand? 1t will commonly
pay any careful farmer to buy a few
registered COWS or heifers and breed
them to pedigreed bulls of the same
type. One does not need to wait
until able to purchase large lot.
One or two good pure bred heifers
properly handled will soon grow into
money. And so with sheep or any
other of the domistic animals. First
determine what kind of stock is apt
to do best and find the readiest mar
ket and then go out after it. Do
not plunge" Do not be foolish,
But begin. Feel your way. Take
good care of what you buy. Treat
it fairly and it will soon become a
source of both satisfaction and profit
Few farmers are rich enough to
afford the luxury of scrubs. " They
should not be tolerated on any land
that grows good crops.

GLORIOUS FOOT BALL GAME.

Away with the feeble prize fight.
Away with the lifeless ring,
Away with the palsied short-arm jab
And decrepit full arm swing;
For our blood is hot within us.
And the sport is dull and tame.
And we thirst for the blood that
streaks the mud
At the glorious foot ball game.
Hurrah for the seething scrimmage
OF the tangled twenty-two!
Hurrah for the writhing legs and arms
OF the smiling fighting crew.
Hurrah for the blood of battle
That dyes the mass with flame,
And the gruesome groans and the
melting means
OF the glorious foot ball camel
From the tense and breathless lineup
Before the first wild rush,
When the slashing smashing guards
go down
In gnarled and knotted crush;
Till the stretchers come to carry
Away the MANNED and lame,
There is pure delight in the very sight
OF the glorious foot ball game,
We see the CORY garments
In shreds and tatters rend.
We watch the frantic half-back jump
Upon the prone left end:
We watch the doughty fullback
Slide DER the line to fame.
And we catch our breath in the fear of
death
At the glorious foot ball game.
And their limbs are wrenched and
swollen
And their heads are gashed and
And the cutters round the white-lined
field
Are running red with gore:
But the subs relieve the wounded.
And the play goes on the same.
Let the dying lie i'm their blood and
die.
And go on with the glorious game,
We cheer from the thronging grand
stands
And the bIeachers echo back,
AS we trace the ball through all its
long.
Uncertain, sinuous track;
And in yeIIs that cleave the heavens
Our ecstacy proclaim.
And shout till hoarse through the
charging course
OF the glorious foot ball gamei
And when the fight is finished.
7, And the wounded borne to bed.
And a few heartfelt but hasty tears
Are shed above the dead.
We rush upon the players.
And we bear with glad acclaim
The surviving of the twenty-five
From the scene of the glorious
game.
Then down with the palsied prizefight.
It's brief and bootless bore;
And it's stale and tame beside the
game
That is sport to the very core:
He only is hero
Who fights mis- way to fame
At the risk of life through the strug-
Cling strife
In the glorious football game.
