Too Much Medicine.

Don't be eternally feeding your
horses condition powders" says G. D.
Lyon in Land and Living Horses
don't need medicine unless they are
sick, and how would you like to be
compelled to swallow a dose of rhu-
barb or castor oil mixed in your dinner
every day whether you needed it or
not?
One Of the best veterinary surgeons
in the world once wrote me that the
use of ashes and salt as a condition
powder had ruined the digestion of
more horses than anything else that
had ever been fed to mans faithful
friend"
There are dozens of "sure cures" for
SPAWN and ringbone on the market.
Any competent veterinary surgeon will
tell you that there is no sure cure for
either and that a blister of biniodide
of mercury and lard, which any drug
gist will prepare at half the cost Of the
sure cure" will do as much or more
good.
By the way, have you learned that 1t
is not good plan to wash a cut or 9TH
er wound on a horse any oftener than
Is absolutely necessary to clean it?
Horsefiesh does not heal quickly, and
frequent washing of a wound binders
natures work in effecting a cure.
Carbolic acid. one part to 20 parts
of water, is the best application for
almost any wound of man or beast.

Nansau.s n.n Free

In Nassau. the capital city of the Ba-
hama islands, they say the tree in the
public square" not the trees. Now
the public square of Nassau is quite as
large as that of most cities of the size,
but there is emily one tree in it. and
that tree literally fills the square and
spreads its shade over all the public
buildings In the neighborhood. For it
is the largest tree in the world at It's
base, although it is hardly taller than
a three story house. 1t is yariously
known as a .ceiba or a silk cotton tree,
but the people of the low islands of the
West Indies call it the hurricane tree;
for no matter how hard the wind
blows 1t cannot disturb the mighty,
buttressed trunk of the ceiba.
Its trunk throws out great curving,
windlike braces, some of them 20 feet
wide and nearly as high. These extend
into the ground on all sides and brace
the tree against all attack, while the
great branches spread thick shade
overhead. In the tropie sunshine of
midsummer, hundreds, even thousands,
of people may gather in the cool of its
shadow. No one knows how old the
great tree is. but it must have been
growing hundreds, if not thousands, Of
years. A very old picture in the library
at Nassau shows the tree as big as it
is at present, and even the oldest negro
in the island cannot remember when it
was a bit Washington Post.

In the bulletin of the United States
department of agriculture on ''The
Dairy Herd" Major AIyord relates the
following:
"a dairyman of wide reputation,
president of state association for
years, concluded to adopt the daily
milk record rather because of those
who advocated it than of any conyic-
ton of needing it himself His herd
was of his own breeding; he had ham
died every cow from it's birth. and he
and his sons did the milking.
Before beginning the record he made
note of the joint opinion of himself and
sons, as to the half dozen best cows
In the herd, and an estimate of their
seasons milk yield. When the years
record was completed, 1t was found
that In order of actual merit, the cows
stood as follows: The best COW was the
fifth In the estimate; the second, COW
not on his list; the third was the fourth
on the list; the fourth was the first;
the fifth was his sixth; the sixth, a
COW not in his estimate, and his second
and third In previous estimate were
way down on the list These facts
were borne out by subsequent records,
and the man who had called himself a
good dairyman was forced to the CON
clusion that one-fourth Of his cows
were being kept at an actual loss,
while others barely paid their way"

In handling milk. says G. D. Hess
strictest cleanliness. AS soon as pos
sible after being drawn from the COW
get the animal heat out of it. If bot
tied for city trade. run it through
separator as soon as possible (this
helps to aerate it and also to purify
it,, run the milk and cream back to-
gether again. and then as soon as pos
sible run it over a good cooler and bot
tie it. In a well arranged room milk
should be in the bottle inside of ten
minutes after leaving the udder Milk
should never at any time be left stand
ing exposed. No bottles should be used
that have not first been properly wash
ed and then sterilized. l have made it
a practice to put all my bottles and
milk utensils of all kinds in a steriliz-
ing chest, heat same to $40 degrees
and carry them at this temperature
for 20 minutes. This is done every
day. Whether you are selling your
milk or only selling your cream or
making your product into butter, be
sure that whatever you sell is always
just as good as you know how to make
it. No dairyman today can afford to
be without a good separator. If you
are selling your milk to city trade, run
every gallon of it through the machine
before cooling. Nothing you can do
viii purify your milk so well. If you
are selling your cream. inside of 30
minutes after your milking is done you
can have the cream cooled and ready
for market, and you will have an arti-
Gle which will find ready sale If your
dairy rooms are sweet and clean, will
guarantee the quality aside from the
per cent of butter fat. and this you can
gauge to suit the demand of the trade
you cater to. If you sell to the ice
cream people, you viii find that cream
that will churn one and one-half
pounds butter to the gallon is good
enough, but for retail city trade you
will want cream that will churn at
least two and one-half pounds of but
ter to the gallon

Private Dairxfnr.

At the meeting of the Vermont State
Dairy association a paper was read by
Mrs. Carrie Nelson of Ryegate, who
said she believed that the private dali
ry, if properly managed. could make
product that would compare favorably
with that of the creamery and usually
bring as high price. She spoke of the
necessity of clean stables, clean bed
ding and clean utensils, but we must
note what she said about the effects of
food on favor of butter, as a certain
professor has lately advanced the idea
that it has no effect. Several years ago
in August her cows were running in a
field that had been lately top dressed
For two or three different weeks her
butter dealer wrote her that the butter
was ''off flavor" The cows were turn
ed back into the pasture, and soon the
dealer wrote. Butter is all right" and
she took two first prizes on her butter
When the corn was harvested. they
were turned into another top dressed
field, and quickly came another report.
