CURING collie IN HORSES.

1t would not be fair to say that the

to the horse from a bottle. Repeat in
twenty minutes. If relief does not fol-

until the pain is less severe. In case
the bowels do not move freely, give
the horse pint dose of pure raw lin

be kept on every farm, for while sons

snrr.D YOUR BEST BROOD sows.

bKErD YOUR BEST BROOD SOWS.
So long as the farmer sells the best
because they bring the highest prices,
whether in hogs, cattle or horses, ne
will never make any improvement in
the breeding of his stock. The quality
of the cattle stock of the country de-
preciated very rapidly during the hard
times in the COS because the buyer
would buy only the best, and IL the
farmer must sell he sold the best, and
1t will take some time yet to recover
that lost ground, says Wallace's Farm
er. The same was true with horses
during tie same period, and to GER
tain extent with hogs also.
The greatest trouble w,.n the hogs
of the corn belt is Nat they are too
short, too much disposed to put on fat,
and too good lockers. We would send
every gilt of this character to the fat
tening pen without moments hest
tation, and prefer the long, deep and
broad gilt, one of large litter, we'll
nourished, from dam that had both
good sense and was a good sucker.
The milking qualities of the brood
sow can be improved quite as much as
these of the dairy COW. We cannot,
of course, submit the milk of the brood
SOW to the Babcock test and find out
its per cent. of fat, but we can deter
mine by the growth of the pigs wheth-
er it serves the chief end and purpose
of sow's milk; therefore, it is much
easier to select a profitable mixer
among the brood sows than among
the cows in the dairy.
Selection, however, is not all. These
young Silts must be properly fed. Do
not, we beg of you, put them on an
ali-corn diet. Do. not treat them as
you do the barrow or the culled gifts
intended for the fattening pen. DO
not let them get their exclusive feed
from the droppings of corn fed cattle.
Give them flesh forming and bone
forming diet-clover hay, oats-as at
least part of their ration. Do not
feed these gifts for fat. Feed enough
for growth and development, for vi
tality. Mate properly, and you will
have no reason to complain of results
next year.

BREEDS ON DAIRY FARMS.

The production of milk and butter
Is not only profitable to those who en-
gage in such industries, but furnishes
an available method of disposing of
other productions of the farm by con-
verting them into ready-selling and
desirable articles. 1t is creditable to
the dairymen that they have succeeded
as well as they have, but large ma
jority of them need more education
and judgment in the selection and
management of dairy stock. The yards
and diaries of dairymen disclose the
fact that some of them are deficient
IN knowledge regarding the qualities
of the several breeds. In most cases
all kinds of .cows-large, small, of no
particular breeding-and of every
color, are found. These are bred from
animals that possess no merit, pedi-
gree or power to transmit desirable
qualities to young stock. 1t is true
there are good cows in every barn
yard, cows of no particular strain, but
every dairyman has it in his power to
possess herd of cows uniform in
color, qualities and production. A COW
intended as a mixer is fitted for moth
ing else if she is up to the standard.
Her duty is to convert food into milk
and not beef. She should possess no
points that indicate a tendency to fat
ten or produce beef. She is a ma.
cline for specific purpose-the con-
version of food into milk. If she is
intended to produce batter the milk
must be very rich in fat AS but
reproducing cow she IS not then ex-
pected to fill the pail, blu, to give rich
milk. She is a butter-prc iucer. not a
great mixer, nor beef producer.

,iNoCULATING THE SOIL.

reader has inquired why it is he
cannot grow crimson clover success
fully on his farm-he complains that
1t does not take" 1t is impossible to
tell why no results are obtained in this
case without an examination of the
soil, but the two reasons for failure
most in evidence the country through
are acid soils and soils which lack the
bacteria necessary to succeed with
crimson clover. The remedy for the
sour soil IL lime, which every farmer
knows how 10 apply. The remedy for
the bacteria is incubation of the soil,
which may be readily done by taking
soil from field where clover has been
grown successfully and scattering il
lightly over the field which lacks the
bacteria
few bushels of such soil sown
broadcast will cover an acre, and, if
the soil is not sour, there will likely
be no trouble in growing clover on it.
The same thing also applies to cow
peas and soy beans, though not to such
an extent as to clover. A cheap way
TO try this plan of incubation is to
write to tie Department. of Agricul-
ture at Washington and ask for some
bacteria. specifying whether it is
wanted for peas. clover. beans or
vetches- This bacteria is dried, and
a small quantity is usually dissolved
in wat sr and the water sprinkled over
a lot tf soil, which is then spread on
the fields. AS there is no charge for

A STORY OF FARM SUCCESS.

Years ago l might have headed a
tillage article with "Tillage Is Ma
nure," writes T. B. Terry, in Practical
Farmer. In certain way this is cor.
rect, but the above title is more &C
crrate.
Tillage can be made to bring you
larger crops. Manure will do the same
thing. But you do not have enough
manure to bring the whole farm to
the highest degree of productiveness
Better and more tillage will help
many a brother out along this line
Any reasonably good farm soil con
tains large quantities of inert, or un-
available, plant-food furnishing ele
ments. More tillage than ia ordi.
narily put on the land, and of the
proper kind, will make more of this
available in given season, and per.
haps for year or two afterwards.
II one has strong horses and good
tools, and arranges to keep them busy
to the best advantage, this extra til.
lage, above ordinary, can be made to
pay far better than the small amount
of tillage pays that is commonly put
on land. There you have the matter
in few words.

GRAIN AND MILK PRODUCTION

Results as shown in the milk pail
do not indicate so much difference,
pound for pound, in the various feeds
OF the same class as is sometimes
claimed. Cottonseed meal, linseed
meal, either new or old process, high
grade gluten meal, may either one be
instituted for another in a mixed ra
tion without showing much difference
in the amount of milk. Whole meal
from corn or wheat or oats, barley OF
bucxwheat will produce about the
same yield whichever grain is ground
In buying all the relative feeds the
market cost would be the main thing
to consider were it not that some feeds
have peculiar effects on the digestive
and milk producing organs, and that
the richness of manure varies consid
erably according to the feed. The
best all around results are obtained by
mixture of the leading feeds, varied
in proportions of each, according to
the market. Bran is the bulk maker
and should be part of all winter ra
lions where much grain and dry fod
der are used.
