HOW OSTEO-
PATTY CURES

Having been requested by one
who is a staunch believer in the
cures effected by osteopathy to
give to the public, in the inter
ests Of suffering humanity, some
kind Of explanation as to what it
is and how it cures, and from
the fact that only a compare
lively few people know of its
merits, while the great majority
know absolutely nothing Of its
principles and the great benefits
derived from this treatment we
beg to submit the following:
Osteopathy cures by manipula-
ton, assisted by hydrotherapy,
hygiene, sanitation and diet. By
manipulation we mean, as the
machinist loosens or lightens a
bolt or sets valve that has slip
ped or puts in place some part
that has been forced out to make
his machine run perfectly, so
does the osteopathic doctor do
with the human machine by re-
placing cartilage, vertebra or
rib that has been forced out of
place by relaxing a muscle, iga-
ment or tendon that has contract
ed or by giving tonicity to same
in case they have become relax
ed.
You may ask how these It's
sues can be controlled. I answer
by saying they are normally con-
trolled by a healthy nerve, one
that has no infrin cement to inter-
fere with it's force. Now a nerve
by having its blood supply cut off
or diminished becomes weak,
hence the tissue this nerve sup
plies will become relaxed; if it
supplies an organ the function
of this organ will be interfered
with. A good illustration of this
is indigestion, torpid liver, weak
heart and predisposition to con-
sumption. If by a slipped verte-
bra, rib or cartilage a nerve is
hindered it sets up an irritation
in this nerve if it controls a It's
sue it will contract it, if an organ
prevent it's natural function.
Good examples of this are palpi-
tation of the heart, diarrhoea,
headaches, gall-stones, rheuma-
tism and renal calculi. We con-
troll these conditions by manipu-
lations which increases the blood
supply in the affected parts and
removes the infringements to the
nerves and places the "machine"
in perfect running order that one
may enjoy health.
Diseased conditions of the body
are in a great majority of cases
due to abnormal positions or to-
nicity of the tissues. To substan-
tiate this belief we find many peo-
pie who can trace disease back to
some exposure, strain, fall or ex-
ertion, thus causing misplace
ment or contraction of some It's
sue; especially is this true in ner-
vous diseases such as asthma, hay
fever, rheumatism and in dis
eases peculiar to women.
Osteopathy treats the causes
and not the symptoms of disease.

Fluid Useless for BRANDING,

From time to time attempts are
made to supplant the red hot branding
iron by a liquid. A liquid branding
material patented in New Zealand has
been imported to this country and
quite widely advertised. A large num-
Der OF western cattle men tried it and
reported adversely on it. 1t was
claimed that it would not injure the
hide, but the experience of stockmen
seems to be that it Injuries them as
much as the branding iron. Relative
TO this matter, the Arizona station
publishes the following:
Hon. Will G. Barnes of Dorsey,
New Mexico, formerly an Arizona cat
tleman, has used this same branding
fluid under range conditions and ex-
presses himself concerning it's use as
follows: For the man who, like my
self, has from two to three hundred
calves to brand at time, can see no
way OF using it successfully.
In branding time on my ranch we
usually cut out from two to three hun
dred calves. put them into a lane in
the corral, cutting calves into one pen
and cows into another. One man
grabs the calf by the right hind leg,
another grabs the tail, gives a quick
jerk and the calf is on his side with
one man holding his hind legs and an
other on his neck. No sooner does he
hit the ground than a man is at him
with the iron, while at the same time
another man marks and castrates, and
this year third man dehorned with
clipper. With two pairs of men to
throw, one to run the irons, one to cut
and mark, and one to dehorn, making
seven men in all, we have frequently
branded out ninety calves in an hour
and kept it up at that clip for three
or four hours
Now | tried the branding fluid un-
der such conditions: 1 first put it
into milkpan and used a cold iron.
1T took long time for the fluid to
penetrate the hair, and finally one
vigorous calf kicked over my pan and
spilled the mud ali over the legs of the
man holding him. That settled the
pan system, and 1 got a brush and
painted it on. That worked all right,
but took time. But the worst feature
OF all was that crowding three or four
hundred calves into a small pen that
way, they smeared and rubbed the
stun all over each other, the sides of
the corral and the mems clothes.
Branding time on a big ranch is
a hurry-up period; everything is in a
rush To use the fluid means to take
just about ten times as long as by the
hot iron SYSTEM

Intelligent Buying of Feed.

Most dairymen must buy consider
able quantities of feed, even though
they raise all they can on the farm.
Generally these feeds purchased are
in the form of concentrates. A dealer
in feeds says that he has become tired
trying to teach users of feeds to b,,y
intelligently- He finds that to sell
feed he must put cheap brands on the
market and push their sale; that he
cannot dispose of the high-priced
feeds, which are really cheaper than
are the brands of goods that sell for
least money Many men continue to
reckon their purchases by the ton
rather than by the real feeding yalue
contained in them. The hjgher-priced
feeds yield less profit to the deale,
than do the low-priced brands, SO most
feed men try to sell all they can of
this kind The dairyman that buys
foods rich in protein, is buying closer
to the wholesale cost than is the man
who buys the low-priced feeds. There
is money in knowing how to buy to
the best of advantage, even in feeds
to be used in the dairy.

When Boiling Cracked Egg
When boiling a cracked egg a tea
spoonful of vinegar put into the water
will prevent 1T boiling out, no matter
how much it is cracked.
New Pudding Tins.-Before using
new pudding tins place them in the
oven with a little oatmeal or bran and
water, when they will be much sweet
er, and it will prevent the puddings
from sticking.
About Mixing Mustard.-When mix
ing mustard add a saltspoonful of salt
and the same quantity of moist sugar,
and mix with boiling water. 1t will be
found to keep moist much longer and
have a better taste.
Torn Oilcloth.-This is difficult to
mend satisfactorily. Try putting
piece of sticking plaster underneath
the tear. 1t will need to be made
damp and must be left severely alone
after sticking it on till quite dry.

Hens Like Glover and Alfalfa.

ing was of the finest imaginable. This
was all the more so as the bulk of ii
was white clover. After being dried
1t had been stored up in sacks. 1t had
proved to be a very acceptable addi
tion to the rations the winter before
and the user was earnest in the praise
of it.
Glover is one of the best feeds for
poultry, being equalled only by alfal.
IA Alfalfa, especially where it has been
cut when not over eighteen inches high
is also excellent and can be easily re
duced to form easily eaten by the
fowls. The usual process is to run
the clover or alfalfa through the hay
cutter and reduce it to as fine a con.
dition as possible. 1t should then be
steamed, if steamnig apparatus is
used on the farm, which is usually
not the case. Otherwise, it should be
wet with hot water and mixed with
bran, middlings or other ground feed.
The finest clover will be eaten by the
old fowls and chicks in a dry state,
but not in such quantities as will be
the case If it is mixed with meals
and ground meats. The clover and al
falfa are rich in protein, which is the
most expensive Of all feeds for ami

POULTRY
What the Trap Nests Showed.

Trap nest boxes have been used
during the season, to a limited extent;
and there is no doubt as to the value
of these nests when one is desirous of
building up a flock of good layers, as
it clearly shows the drones as well as
the heavy producers. 1t is equally
valuable in breeding exhibition stock,
which requires sure and accurate pedi-
gree breeding. 1t is quite true that
these boxes require considerable at
tention; but the results far more than
repay the time taken in recording the
number of eggs laid. By the use of
these nests, we found that one hen
in the pen did not lay a single egg,
although always bright and vigorous;
another did not lay more than seven
eggs before becoming broody; while
still another never showed the least
inclination to sit. This last hen laid
$50 eggs during the nine months in
which the box was in the pen-On-

The Wyoming station has made
some experiments that demonstrate
the value of alfalfa hay as a horse
feed, says a government report. In
discussing the subject of alfalfa for
horses, the California station says in
effect that in regions where it is the
staple crop the quantity of protein
that can be supplied in green and
cured alfalfa is so great that much
less grain is required than when the
coarse fodder consists of cereal hays
only. For the Pacific coast, where
cereal hays replace so largely those
from meadow grasses, the station rec
ommends ration of alfalfa hay with
wheat hay or barley hay or grain. In
recent discussion of horse feeding
under local conditions the Louisiana
station has pointed out the value of
cowpea vine hay.
The outcome of the different exper-
lments is in accordance with the OBJ
servation of careful feeders, viz. that
the various common coarse folders
may be fed to horses as circumstances
demand. Although timothy hay is in
many regions regarded as the prefer
able coarse feed, yet experience has
shown that corn fodder, hay from
wheat, barley and other cereal grains
and from clover and alfalfa. may be
substituted for it. That this is what
might be expected is shown by
study of the composition of these feed
ing stuffs. They resemble one another
very closely in the character and
amount of nutrients they contain AL
falfa, clover and the other leguminous
hays are richer in protein than the
cured grasses and cereal forage. Straw
is not much fed to horses in the
United States, but is common feed.
ing stuff in Europe. AS shown by its
composition and digestibility. it COM
pares quite favorably with other
coarse folders. In accordance with
the general principle, the substitution
of one coarse fodder for another in
rs-e-sla= should always be made ON a
basis of composition and digestibility,
rather than pound for pound.

Our Poultry.

According to the census of three
years ago, the United States has 233
million chickens, 6 million turkeys. 5
million geese and million ducks. The
odd thousands are not given, as the
millions are near enough. 1t will be
seen that our common BARNARD fowl
is good ways in the lead. In the
matter of chickens, the leading state
is Iowa. which is credited with 1s
millions. Illinois comes next with 16
millions, and she is closely followed
by Missouri with IA millions. Ohio is
also credited with IA millions and
Texas has 13 millions. Indiana, Kan
sas and Pennsylvania have each. over
10 millions. The smallest showing
was made by Alaska, which reported
only 116 chickens. In the total value
of poultry and eggs produced during
the census year Illinois led, and was
followed by Iowa and Missouri in the
order named. For the census wear
the value of all the eggs produced in
the United States was IA millions
and of poultry products 136 millions.

Points in Sheep Raisino.

To be successful in breeding sheen
it is necessary to give them proper
care and attention. They should not
be left to pick their living by the road
side We live in one of the greatest
sheep countries in the world, and vet.
when we look around, how many
hocks do we find? We ought to find
a small flock on every farm, but many
farmers have not a sheep on their
places. Every farm ought to have
sheep, if only to assist in tidying up
the fence corners. This they will do
If they are given half a chance, in
that they will trim up grass and weeds
in lanes, paddocks and fence corners.
Few weeds or plants will escape their
notice. The weeds that one sheep will
consume in the summer are about as
many or more than the average farm
boy can be persuaded to destroy in a
single season. In a certain sense.
therefore, small band of sheep are
wage-earners. They ought to be kept
to supply the farmers with meat dur
ing the warm months of the year. No
more delicious meat can be furnished
at such seasons, and none is more
wholesome. The farmer can, in this
way, get much of his meat supply in
summer and get it virtually without
cost, since the pasture which makes
the mutton would otherwise be lost.

Cut BEDDING Straw.

To my mind. the proper care of
manure commences with the cutting of
all the straw. which can be done at
the time of thrashing at very mod
crate expense, says James McFad-
yean- 1t may require the exercising
of little patience while the grain is
still in the shock, that it may become
thoroughly dry, and cost us the bat
tening of our barns that it may be
kept So Then we have all the straw
in less bulk than that occupied by
the sheaves, and in a position and
under the most favorable circum-
stances to be used either as a feed
or bedding to the best possible ad-
vantage There is no better bedding
than cut straw, from the fact that a
greater body of it lies close to the
floor to soak up the liquid manure.
and if we could be impressed with
the value of liquid manure, we would
as far as possible have all stable floors
water-tight, that the liquid might be
preserved and mixed with the solids
