Virtue in the Tar Pot.

What is needed in this country more
than all else to make sheep growing
profitable is more of those old shep-
herds with the tar pot and a watchful
eye, writes DIR. G.. d. Smead in Ameri-
can Sheep Breeder. There Is too much
"set around the coal stove on a nail
key in the grocery store and grumble
over our bad luck with the sheep by
reason of worms, ticks, scab and the
like. The old fellow with the tar pot
would have seen something wrong with
the first sheep. If he coughed, into his
mouth would have gone a daub of tar,
and the chances are some lung worm
that was to be wouldn't have been. If
he saw a single sheep rubbing or bit
ing itself, in would have gone daub
Of tar, and the little parasite would
have collapsed. l am not saying this
with the thought that tar Is the best
remedy for ticks, lice and scab mites,
but it was all sufficient with the watch
full eye of the man with the tar pot
He killed the cuss in the bornin' and
did not wait until he had an army to
contend with.

Meat as Chick Food.

In recent report Of experiments in
feeding chicks the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station says:
"The use of the proper proportion
of animal food will pay a handsome
profit through decreased mortality
and increased weight of the chicks
1.-THE experiment which led up to
tor hatch of 219 chickens. These
were separated into lots of about fifty
each and placed in similar breeders.
For thirty days all conditions were
kept alike except the ratons Pen
A was fed a balanced ration of
grains, meat and green food The
chicks grew and thrived, and not one
chick showed symptoms Of digestive
disorder. The deaths amounted to
80 per cent In Pen b all animal
9.5 per cent, Of which rs per cent had
bowel trouble. Pen G was fed ON
grain alone, all animal food and all
green food being omitted from the
ration. The deaths were 1927 per
cent, of which 1865 per cent showed
digestive trouble. In Pen d all grain
food was omitted. The deaths OF
chicks were 63.7 per cent, of which
S5.S per cent showed bowel trouble.
All the living chicks were weighed at
the close Of the test, and Pen A
showed the greatest average weight

Alfalfa az Swine Food.

Alfalfa is the natural food for swine
The pregnant sow on alfalfa pasture
generally needs no grain at all, at
most but a trif1e of corn should she be
ir a thin condition when turned to pas
ture. Pigs born from sows pasturing
on alfalfa are unusually fine and
strong. After they come the sows need
a little more grain than before and
suckle profusely. The little pigs en-
Joy the sweet, tender heritage and
thrive on it, but they, too, should have
a daily allowance Of grain. This is not
absolutely necessary, as In Colorado,
western Kansas and Nebraska many
hog ranches are found where no grain
a produced or fed winter or summer.

narrowing Reduces Labor.

The Southern soil tillers are now
wisely selecting the best implements
to aid them in destroying weeds and
pulyerizing their lands. The harrow
is not found on every farm, and yet 1t
will accomplish more work in one day
in putting the crop in good condition
than the plows they are using will
in two. The harrow is OF speciaR
benefit in being passed over the Irish
potato plants, and even when an inch
high, in tearing the surface of soil and
vet not injuring the plants. The har-
row with teeth sloping backward at
an angle Of forty-five degrees will do
no harm to corn five inches high or
wheat four inches high. Try 1t on a
small plot of corn or half the field, and
observe the difference in thirty days
thereafter with the part not har-
rowed.
The heavy rains after the corn has
been planted pack the surface soil,
and that prevents the spring suns
from warming the soil to the depth
of four inches, where the young corn
roots are too cold to perform their
natural functions. The sloping teeth
of the implement will tear up the coat
ing and the corn plants will put on
new life. The harrow will greatly re-
duce the farm work in keeping the
Young crops clean. A harrow with
seventy-five teeth will clean up the
young weeds or grass on fifteen acres
in one day The young corn plant
NAV be laid down on the soil for
day, but it will soon lift its head, and
then it will more than make up for
the time lost while down. Friends,
get out of your old ways and put into
your crops better implements and they
will increase the yield Of corn more
than the cost of the new implement

day MS father,
James Cronk, and two brothers, Cas-
per and John, also enlisted, serving
unQer Capt. Edmund Fuller in the de-
fense of Sackett's Harbor. At the
close OF the war the father and three
sons were honoraDly discharged, Nov.
10, 1914
In 1925, when Cronk was twenty
nVe, he married Mary Thornton, of
the town of Western, Oneida County,
and they lived together for sixty years.
Seven children We're born to them, of
whom five are living.
Cronk drew a pension Of SIT

last year to bury him with public
honors, and the body lay in state.
where 1t was viewed by many from
the surrounding country.
The brevity of the history Of the
united States and the wonderful man
ner In which the nation has waxed in
power and greatness are brought into
striking relief when it Is considered
that almost it's entire development I'D
to the present time was witnessed by
one man. The Federal constitution
was but thirteen years older than
Hiram Cronk. The government under
the constitution was but eleven years
older When Mr. Cronk was born
John Adams, the country's second
President, had barely entered the
fourth year Of his term.

having been admitted since the revolu-
ton. Mr.. Cronk saw tWenty- nine
added. The country's population was
100000. He saw it grow to SO,QOO,-
Geo. He was three years old when
Jefferson made the first addition to
the country by buying Louisiana; and
he saw other additions made until the
original area was quintupled. AS a
boy of fourteen he fought bravely in
the weak young nations first foreign
war, he mad reached middle age when
Il fought with Mexico, IS an old man
he saw it torn with civil strife, as a
patriarch he saw blue and gray fight
ing together to free Cuba. He heard
discussed almost every political Ques-
ton that has agitated the country. The
Missouri compromise was passed the
year before he cast his first vote; free
silver was the issue when he cast his
last.
When a youth Mr.. Cronk piled the
trade Of an itinerant shoemaker He
lived to see the factory system, which
was unknown in America then, drive
the shoemaker completely out of
business, and along with him the
weaver, the spinner, and most other
independent workers on a small scale.
In plying his trade of itinerant shoe
maker he walked or rode horseback
Stephenson invented the locomotive in
his country. The first railroad was
finished in England eleven years after
ward, when he was % years old. He
lived to see more than 100000 miles OF
railways built in the United States
He saw the oil lamp supersede the tai
low dip and gas and electricity super
sede the oil lamp. He saw the fast
mail, the telegraph and the telephone
supplant the stage coach and the post
boy as the best facilities of commu-
nication.
No man ever saw more historic
changes than Mr.. Cronk, and 1t Is
doubtful If a man who is born now
and lives 105 years will see as many.

DR.. Mayo of the Kansas Agricul-

ceived the present spring quite num-
Der of reports of what seem to be
clear cases of young pigs and other
animals dying as a result of eating
young cockleburs. He says that the
young burs are very poisonous at GER
tain periods of growth mostly when
they are In the tNo-leaved stage,
causing inflammation of the stomach
and intestines, but he cannot throw
any light on the nature of the poison.
He does not hold out much hope Of
successful treatment after the poison
has once entered the system, but sug-
.gests that perhaps raw linseed oil
might be helpful.
