does. 1t cleanses the blood of the poison
and eliminates from the system all catar-
rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly

Notes About Fruit.

The Italian prune crop of Oregon
promises to be the largest in the States
record.
For apple scab use bordeaux mixture
every three weeks up to the middle of

A few horses do not get as much feed
AS they need to enable them to do their
work properly, but there are more, at
least, in this part of the country that
are overfed, especially where feeding is
intrusted to those who do not have to
pay for the food given. In their desire
to have the animals look plump and
sleek they give more than can be well
digested, and sometimes defeat their
own intentions by causing such indiges-
ton that the horse grows lean, il he is
not wise enough to refuse to eat all
that is placed before him. Nor are the
owners always guiltless in this matter
Farmers especially are apt to feed too
much hay to the horse, giving thirty to
forty pounds in twenty flour hours,
when from twelve to twenty pounds is
enough for horses of almost any weight
when there is enough of grain given.
And many will not reduce either hay or
grain ratiOns when there is a week or
two Of idleness. This is a mistake, but
not as bad as that of largely increasing
the grain feed when there is an extra
amount of work to be done, or a long
drive to be made. The veterinary sur
geOns say that most of the cases they
are called upon to prescribe for are the
results of overlooking, or feeding after
hard work.-American Cultivator.

Wherever the farmers come togeth-
er, the trend of conversation naturally
turns toward the condition of the corn
crop in the various neighborhoOds. All
mention the clover field planted to corn
as being their best prospect. In many
cases where barnyard manure had
been applied in the spring, the corn IS
very seriously damaged. New ground
planted to corn has been nOticeably az
fected by drought, and in many cases
practically no grain will be secured
from such fields.
Such conditions, so plain to US now,
should direct us to different plans for
raising anothr crop. We all know
that good clover field will give sat
1sfactory account of itself when condl-
tons are favorable, and if it shows that
it is better able than other fields to
pass through dry weather, surely the
farmer should plan to have more clio
yer sod to turn under for corn. In
many cases the manure has done dam
age by causing the corn to dry up. 1t
has not rotted in the SOIL The coarse
stray has not allowed the land to re-
tain it's normal amount of moisture.
Really the manure has not been on
the ground long enough to become thor
Oughly incorporated in the SOIL and it
acts as a foreign body, cutting off the
supply of moisture. Had the manure
been applied to the growing clover, the
clover growth would have been much
greater and the unused manure would
have been converted into rich earth by
the time the field had been planted to
corn. Where the clover has been ma
nured the soil will hold even more
than the normal amount of moisture
when it is broken up and planted to
corn.
1t is little trouble to raise good crops
when the seasons are especially favor
able. Then every farmer has grain to
sell, or fat stock to place on the mar
ket, and prices are likely to be very
low. The unfavorable year selects out
the intelligent, thinking farmer and
gives him paying yields. He Is pre-
pared to take stock not fatted at a low
figure and sell them in the market at
very high prices. To the intelligent,
thinking farmer the off year in crops
is not so disastrous after all.-1ndianap-
