For Barb ire Cuts.

When a horse has been injured on
Wire the first thing to do is stop the
flow Of blood; this may as a rule be
done by bandaging it up tight It
may also frequently be best to apply
powdered alum or common saleratus,
both of which will generally be found
effective. In a few hours, consider
able swelling will set in; this should
be reduced either by applying cold wa
ter frequently, or, what is really bet
ter, applying pure kerosene oil, not
only to the wound, but also to the
swollen parts. No bandage should be
kept on where kerosene is used. as it
will then cause the hair to fall off tenn
porarily, and as soon as it is safe to
do so, the sore should be carefully
washed with soft water and CASTLE
soap. This ought to be repeated daily
until the sore heals. One of the best
healing medicines for horsefesh that
l have ever used can be put up at any
drug store, as follows: One-half pint
Of alcohol; one-half pint of spirits of
turpentine; 1 ounce Of pure glycerine;
mix all together in a large bottle and
shake well before using. Apply only
with feather at morning and night
The sore should never be bandaged.
By daily washing it will in this way
heal up very rapidly. I can person
ally testify to the effectiveness of this
simple remedy, as we have made use
Of it in numerous cases, with the best
results, where every other remedy we
tried failed to heal up the sore on the

1t is a pleasure to comment upon the
conservative methods employed by the q

ton of the Webster's International die

its scholastic or linguistic qualities. 1t
is this conservatism backed by the schol-

Finishing OF Coops.

One of the economics in the poultry
business is to have coops which may
be used for any desired purpose with
out making it necessary to in any way
subdivide the main poultry house.
Coops for sick fowls, coops for the
ROSTERS, coops for the broody hen and
coops to finish off the birds which are
to go to market later. One of the best
designs for the latter purpose can be
built on the sunny side Of the barn or
the poultry house proper, thus saving
the expense for lumber This coop is
three feet in width, and any length de-
sired, but figured so that the lumber
will not cut to waste.
Hake the frame Of rough lumber,
using any odds and ends one may
have around the place; cover roof and
sides and ends with tarred paper. For
ventilation, six-inch space is left the
entire length Of the house at the lower
end and this is covered with wire net
ting For further ventilation holes are
bored in one end at the high side near
the top. At the lower part of the
house under the ventilating space the
boards are arranged SO that the one
nearest the ground is hinged to the
one above it for ease in cleaning the
coop. The door in one end is made

PonIfrx Notes

It is pretty hard to feed the hen
too much if the food is of the right
sort Improper feeding does more
harm than excessive feeding.
Have you tried the dry feeding sys-
TEN, now practiced by most of the
we'll known poultrymen of the coun-
try?
Eggs are the basis of the poultry in
dustry. Egg farming is the most prof
liable branch Of poultry culture But
in order to get eggs we have to keep
hens as a sort of necessary incumber-
ance.
Some people keep hens at profit
Of 90 cents or less per year. Others
get as high a profit as So per hen. 1t
is partly a difference in the hens, but
it is much more a difference in the
man or woman behind the hen
Very large size is not desirable in
any variety of fowls. According to the
new Standard, when two birds are
equal in other respects, the one nearer
the weight called for will have the
preference, and not the heavier bird.
as formerly. OF course, this rule is
against under size as much as against
over size

Buying Mixed Feeds

Why any feeder of farm stock
should buy mixed grains is more than
one can understand, unless he is too
lazy to do the mixing himself Time
was when screenings were just what
was claimed for them, the smaller
grains which dropped through the
sleeves when screening was done for
the first grade of grains. Now screen
ings are quite likely to be the sweep
ings from the mill floors and contain
anything from nails to tobacco guilds
Any of the grains used for feeding
stock Of any kind can be bought with
out mixture and one can tell by exam
nation if they be reasonably pure
They cost some more than the mixed
feeds, to be sure, but they are cheap
est in the end, for less has to be fed.
OF all the bad mixed feeds the ground
feeds are the worst, for it is practical
~ impossible to know what is in the
mixture, that is, for the ordinary OBJ
server to ascertain. In feeding poul-
try it has been demonstrated time and
again that it pays to pay % per cent
more for the grains by themselves
than to feed the mixtures bought in
that form.

Practical Gate Fastener.

A swing gate is somewhat of a nui-
sance, unless it is arranged with a
fastener that will act as desired. The
idea illustrated is a simple one, as
will be seen. Take strip of one by
four material and cut it Of convenient
length, as shown at figure 1. 1t must,
however, be long enough to extend be-
yond the cross bar D and the upright
piece at Figure 2, both of which pieces
are dOuble-that is. one on either side
of the gate. Two iron pieces (b) are

Caring for Harness.

If the harness is very soiled and
stiff the best way of getting it in
prime condition is to take it apart at
every place where it is fastened by a
buckle and soaking it in water which
has been a trifie warmed. Then take
stiff brush, small scrubbing brush
will answer the purpose, and scrub
each part Of the harness thoroughly.
Then spread it out to dry and if any
portion is still sticky scrub it again.
To soften and preserve the leather
nothing is better than neats'-foot oil,
which is readily obtained. Apply a
small quantity to the harness and rub
it in thoroughly with the hand. In
the absence of this oil use sweet OIL
After thoroughly oiling see that each
buckle moves freely and that none of
the stitches is broken at the seams.

The fastener works in this manner:
To unfasten, pull the board 1 to the
left, which raises the end opposite 1 on
account Of the placing of b, and when
released drops toward l and finally
rests on the board marked 3. A close
study of the illustration will show how
simple the plan is, and how readily it
may be put in operation on any swing
ing gate, provided always the gate is
properly hung and works smoothly

How Warmth Economies Food

Temperature has a great effect on
fattening animals. Where farm stock
are kept in cold houses it becomes
necessary to increase the quantity of
food in order to maintain the warmth
of the body. In many cases pig feed
ers pay little attention to this matter.
and rather than go to the expense of
providing warm stys for the accommo-
dalton Of their animals in winter they
often adopt the ultimately more ex-
pensive plan of giving additional food
to keep up the normal heat of the
body.

Cut Bone and Animal Food.

Just the day the fowls are brought
into the house and confined to the run
Of a small yard they begin to pine for
animal food which they had in abund-
ance on the range. 1t is this lack
that is at the bottom of the egg falling
off rather than any other cause, as
will be discovered, if one will take the
trouble to look into the matter. 1t
must be understood, however, that ami
NAL food does not mean anything in
the shape Of meat one can get. There
are plenty Of meat scrapes on the
market that are good enough for fer
tilizer, but decidedly not of value for
feeding poultry. If one can arrange
with the local butcher to supply what
meat is wanted for the fowls he will
Rave 10 trouble provided he buys meat
that is not tainted and does not lay in
supply too large. Green bone an
swers the same purpose to some ex-
tent, but it is hard to grind and must
be ground fresh to be of value. With
small supply Of animal food, green
bone and green food of some kind one
ought to have good production OF
eggs throughout the winter, following
any plan of feeding that has a reason
able amount of variety.
