How a Steer Is Divided.

Taking the estimates used at the Chi.
cago stock yards as the rule, a steer
weighing 1,20G pounds will be divided as
follows: Waste matter, $40 pounds;
sides $3.50 pounds each), ego pounds;
liver, 10 pounds; heart, A pounds; tallow,
so pounds; tongue, 5 pounds; hide, "a
pounds; fertilizer materials, IA pounds;
dry blood, 4 pounds; bones, 4 pounds;
horns, 2 pounds; hsofs, 5 pounds; sin
ews, 4 pounds; tail, 2 pounds; sweet
breads, 2 pounds. Some blood, bone and
waste meat go into the fertilizer ma
terials and are included in that esti-
mate. The condition Of the animal at.
fects the weights of the parts, a fat steer
having more tallow than a lean one.

HOW 10 FIGHT P
Preventive Measure and Remedies
Usually Produce the Result
Most Desired.

1t may be well to call attention again
to some of the less known causes of
and remedies for gapes in chickens.
As is well known, gapes are caused by
a small white worm in the windpipe.
These worms breed in dirty or stag
nant water and in damp or fifty yards,
especially old chicken yards that have
been used a long time. 1t has also
been noticed that strong, well-fed
chickens are able to cough up the
worms. 1t is only the puny chicken
that keeps trying without success. I'm
der all these circumstances it will be
seen that this is only another case
where an ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. Generally the first
step, If there are many cases of gapes,
should be to obtain a fresh, high, dry
yard, and plow up the old one and use
1t for some other purpose for awhile.
The chickens should have free range
in the daytime, if possible, and be ON
fined in coops or houses with clean
board floors at night. Sprinkling the
yards and floors well with lime will
help destroy the worms, eggs and 9TH
er disease germs. To a certain ex-
tent, the trouble is contagious when
once started. 1t is thought that eggs
are coughed up into the food or drink
ing water by the ailing chicks and
the absorbed by the others. To rem
edy this, add a few drops of carbolic
acid to their drinking water. One sue
cessful poultryman keeps gapes away
by giving drinking water tinctured
with tar two or three times a week.
Green garlic or onion tops cut fine and
mixed with their food is a help to both
sick and well chicks. Another remedy
and good preventive is powdered asa
fetida, a ~teaspoonful to a dozen chicks,
mixed with their food. Sometimes the
fumes of burning sulphur will kill the
germs so the chickens can cough them
up. Putting a grain of wheat which
has been soaked in turpentine down
the birds throat is said to be a sure
cure. Another remedy is to place the
birds affected in a box and blow
amongst them, so they must inhale it,
a powder composed of equal parts of
pyrethrum and powdered camphor
gum.-Prairie Farmer.

TIMELY SWINE T

Don't keep ZEN in a narrow, nasty lit
tie pen.
At ruling prices the breeding up of
choice droves should be given a great
impetus.
Keep the sow for a breeder until she
becomes awkward and too heavy If she
produces good litters.
Next to grass nothing grows pigs so
fast with skim milk as cornmeal, says the
New York experiment station.
If the pigs root out dig a trench n foot
deep beside the fence and tack poultry
net to the posts. Their sensitive noses
will avoid it.
A good trough for little pigs car be
made of a long, narrow and shallow box
of any kind. The first feed of wet bran
will make it milk tight.-Field and Farm.

PROMINENT CHURCH WORKER SAYS
SHE OWES HER LIFE TO PERU=NA.
HER GREAT FORTUNE.
A Woman Saved From Lifelong
Misery and Made Happy
and Useful.

A woman confined to the house for
several years with a chronic female
arrangement had finally given up hope
of being cured.
She had tried physician after physi-
clan, and remedy after remedy, without
any permanent improvement.
Her treatment had cost her husband
who was a poor man, hundreds of dol
lars. They had been Obliged to deny
themselves many comforts of life in
order to get money enough to pay the
physicians.
The woman had become weak, nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep
out of her bed. Her children were
growing up neglected and ragged, be-
cause of the want of a mothers care.
Her husband was becoming discouraged
and broken down with overwork.
Picking up the paper one day she hap
pened to read an item which contained
the news that DR.. Hartman would treat
such cases free of charge by letter. She
Immediately wrote the doctor describing
her case, and giving him all her symp-
toms.
She soon received a letter telling her
exactly what to do, and what medicines
and appliances to get. She began the
treatment (the principal remedy being
Peruna) at once, and in a few weeks she
was well and strong again, able to do
her own work.
This offer of free home treatment to
women is still open to all who may need
the services of this eminent physician.
All letters applying for treatment will
be promptly answered, and be held
strictly confidential.
Miss Annie Hoban, Post Pocahontas
Of Yemassee Council of Red Men
(Women's Branch), writes from 872
Eighth Ave, New York:
Three months ago | was troubled
with backache and a troublesome heavi-
ness about the stomach. Sleep brought
me no rest for it was a restless sleep.
The doctor said my nervous system
was out of order, but his prescriptions
didn't seem to relieve me. l was told
that Peruna was good for building up
| the nervous system. After using it for
two months | know now that it is. I
want to say that it made a new woman
of me. The torturing symptoms have
all disappeared and | feel myself again.
Peruna did me more good than all the
: other medicines have taken"

81 sincerely believe that Peruna is

. backaches and other aches every month

Moore, Notary Public, and have sworn
and subscribed to written statements con.
firming the story of the awful illness and
subsequent cure of the little son Of Mr..

DR., Lines is particularly emphatic in
his statement, and there does not now
seem to be any room for doubt as to the
fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills, and moth.

He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increasing
frequency. He was semi-paralyzed in the
right side, and his mind was badly af

In their sworn statement, Mr.. and Mrs
Mcbride say:

How to save Sorghum Fodder.

A writer in Iowa tells the Country Gen.
tleman how to save sorghum for stock
food. He says it should be cut only when
the seed is well ripened. If cut before it
will be almost worthless, as there will
be little s%accharine matter in it. This
constitutes the chief value of sorghum
for feed, and is stored in the stalk while
the seeds are developing. The best way
to handle sorghum is to cut it any time
after the seeds are black; rake, and put
in large shocks right away, and then let
it alone till wanted for feeding. If man
aged in this way it will afford an i'm
mense quantity of feed, good for all live
stock, and there will be no waste. Don't
try to cure, but put in shocks green and
let it Sweat"

q NOSE A PERIL.
Scratch, But Was Made to
Smell of n Gun.

Ex-Congressman Bell used to tell a story
of a time when he once got into grave
peril On account of his nose. He was going
to Leadville in the early days on a stage
coach which was held up by h~ighwaymen.
The passengers were ranged in a row out
side with their hands up, the familiar at
titu6e being enforced by a gun in the
hands OF one Of the gentlemen of the road,
while the other went through the various
pockets at his leisure.
In the midst of the ceremony Mr.. Bells
nose began 20 itch with that maddening
persistency calculated to drive to insanity
or the grave if not relieved. ~Involuntarfly
his right hand began to lower itself to the
seat OF troubles.
Hands up there!" called the man be-
hind the gun, sternly.
His hand shot back into place, but in a
moment began to lower itself again.
whats the matter with your" inquired
the bandit Are you anxious to become a
lead mine?"
My nose itches so / can't stand it any
longer" said Mr.. Bell. I've simply got
to scratch it,"
''No, you hain't," replied the agent, "be'
cause I'll do it for you"
With which he proceeded to scratch the
prospective congressional nose with the
muzzle of his shotgun.

The worlds greatest source of amber
Ia the shores of the Baltic sea. Amber
is the fossilized resin Of several species
of pine trees. In small quantities it
has been found in various parts of the
globe, including the United States, but
up to the present time no American
deposit of amber extensive enough to
be of commercial value has been dis
covered. Quite recently, however, am
Der has been found at Cape Sable, on the
Magothy river, in Maryland, and this
arouses the hope that it may yet be
discovered in paying quantities in this
country. The deposit at Cape Sable has
been known since 1921, but only lately
has a careful investigation of it been
made. The fossil tree trunks in which
bits of amber are imbedded are not,
like those of the Baltic region, pines,
but are believed by their ~discoverer, Mr..
Arthur Bihbins, to be specimens of the
sauuoia.-Youth's Companion.

CARE OF THE FOALS.
Unless the Mare Is Fed Well and Ju-
diciOusly Her Offspring Will
Fail to Develop.

If the foal is worth raising at all,
it is worth raising we'll, and il not
fed and cared for properly, will be a
disgrace to it's sire and 4 source of
loss to the owner, says the Live Stock
Journal. The mare should be fed well
enough to allow her to supply the
foal with abundant, rich, nutritious
milk. Her food should be rich in nj
trogenous ingredients, for these are
most required for frame building. She
should be allowed to suckle her foal
often, if she is worked, and Eve
when she is tired and sweaty. 1t does
not pay to allow the foal to run with
the mare at pillow or on way to town.
Milk Is taken often in this way, but
not in suitable condition for the foal,
and, besides this, the foal is getting
too much fatiguing work in following
its dam. Work the mare lightly, If
at all. Before it is too late put in a
strip Of fodder corn alongside Of the
pasture. Let it be, say, ten rods wide
and plant the corn thickly with seeder,
having some of the sprouts shut off.
Plant several times, with a few days
between the seedlings. Use this green
corn fodder for the mares to help out
the pastures and feed the mares in adj
dition generously upon oats, bran and
cut hay. Wet this food with molasses
water, if you want lots of milk, and
can keep flies out of the stable. Just
as early as possible let foals learn to
eat a mixture of crushed oats, bran and
dried blood meal foods for frame build
ing, and if there is any tendency to
weak bones add bone meal, which may
now be had in the market, and do
much to prevent such troubles as "os-
teoporosis" (big head. No foal flesh
must be lost, IL best results are to be
obtained in horse breeding. Foal flesh
is to be put on by feeding the mares,
and as soon as possible supplying the
foals with a generous ration of nitro
genous food such as W e have sug-

Exercise for Brood sows.

The brood SOW needs exercise, and
that, too, in the open air. If the SOW
has a good pasture the exercise is at
tanned without further effort. 1t costs
nothing, but is of immense value both
to the SOW and the progeny she is to
produce. Brood ows are very apt to
be lazy if they are given too warm and
comfortable places to lie in with an abun-
dance of food. They should be made to
work for part of their provender. Lit
tie corn should be fed the brood SOW
except in very cold weather, as it is not
desired to lay or fat.-Farmer's Review.

wood Ashes as Fertilizer.

If pure, unleached wood ashes could
be obtained plentifully, and at a mod
crate cost, they would give perhaps
more satisfactory results, as the ashes
are rich in potash and contain lime In

a protection against the attacks Of
some kinds of insects. Ashes can be
used without liability Of injury on all
kinds of crops IL broadcasted over the
