CARE OF THE COWS.

Do not leave stock in a pasture
where there is not plenty of run
ming water aud shade. 1t is not on
ly cruel to do a thing of this kind,
but it will stunt the growth of
young animals to treat them in this
way. Also remember that water
in a pond in which the stock stand
most all day and fight flies is not
fit for any horse or cow to drink.
This is especially true of dairy
cows. Cows that drink large
quantities of such water can never
give clean, sweet, wholesome milk.
One had just as we'll milk in the
swill pail as to let his cows drink
such filth. Cows cannot drink fl
thy water and give clean, sweet
milk. 1t is an impossibility.
Do not lose sight of the cows
feed, even if it is summer. 1t
sometimes happens that cow is
we'll fed all through the winter,
but when summer come she is al
lowed to take care of herself. This
is all right so long as the pasturage
last, but little by little the heritage
fails and the feed becomes dry.
The change is sh. slow that the
owner does not otice it till ire
parable injury 5 been done, at
least injury that cannot be repair
ed till the cows come in again. By
all means look after the cows that
are in milk and see that they have
a full feed every day.

ly the same kind of food as the
useful plants amid which they
grow, and they are nearly always
much more capable of gathering
food from the soil. When found
growing in a crop, therefore,
they deprive either that crop, or
the crops that come after that
one, of precisely that amount of
sustenance which they consume
during the period of their
growth. The quantity of plant
food, therefore, which weeds
take from the crops and the soil
will be in proportion to the num-
bers in which they are found.
Nor should it be forgotten that
plant food externally applied,
oftentimes at much cost, as in
the case of com mercial fertilizers,
will be utilized by weed squite as
readily as the plant food natural
ly available in the soil itself.

SCALES ON THE FARM.

Did you ever stop to think that
there is more money in knowing
than guessingi Scales should be
found on every farm. The old
proverb "Deliver all things by
measure and weight wears well.
To be delt with fairly and to deal
justly is good plan. Run the
stock over the scales, weigh the
grain, hay and fertilizers. By this
system of checking things the sell
Ter is on level the buyer, aud vice
versa. The investment in plat
form scale will pay for itself in a
short time by the saving effected in
weighing everything bought and
sold.

CHARCOAL AS A REMEDY.

AS the hot weather approaches
poultry are liable to diseases of
the bowels as are human beings.
A change of diet is good; as also
is charcoal. Charred wood from
the stove, says someone, is an
excellent aid in arresting trou-
bles.
Where the hens have not
had a variety, parched grain
partly burnt affords a desirable
change, and serves nearly the
same purpose as charcoal. Oats,
corn, wheat or even bran will be
readily eaten by hens when they
have been regularly fed on a
samenes of diet, and such food
will greatly aid in arresting diar-
rhoea or other bowel disorders.
In experiments made to deter
mine the benefits of charcoal in
telling, in if four turkeys were
confined in pen fed on meal,
boiled potatoes and oats, and
four others of same brood were
at the same time confined in an
other pen and fed daily on the
same articles, but with one pint
of finely pulverized charcoal mix
ed with their food. These had
also plentiful supply of broken
charcoal in their pen. The eight
were killed, and there was a diff
ference of one and one half
pounds in favor of those supplied
with charcoal. They were the
latest, and the meat was super
ior in point of tenderness and
flavor.

CLIMBING CUT WORMS.

Look out for climbing cut
worms which may, in the night
time, destroy the buds on newly
set the trees. The best remedy
is a taxpayer fence set in the
soil around the base of each tree
trunk. This fence" says Farm
Journal, must not be closer than
two inches TO the tree, should
extend an inch or so into the
ground. and need not be more
than three inches high above
ground. Use same idea for cut
wroms which attack cabbage or
tomato plants.

parts of the cattle and at least
halfway up their bodies.
This method is practicable
where there are only few head
of cattle. 1t consists merely in
picketing the cattle out on tick
free pasturage.
The cattle must be occasional
ly moved and the places where
they have been must be carefully
avoided for some nine months
thereafter.
On or before September l re-
move all cattle (including young
stock and calves) from the pas
ture or range where they are to
be kept after March Is of the
following year. Do not permit
any cattle, horses, or mules on
such pasture or range during
the period indicated. If the
premises in which the cattle are
placed during this period ad-
joins the pasture or range they
are to be kept after March Is it
will be necessary to set the
dividing fence over some 10 or 20
feet on the pasture at the time
of changing the cattle in March.
Be sure to examine every head
of cattle carefully before chang
ing then in March. If ticks are
present on the cattle at this time
are not destroyed the pasture
will become infected and the
work will have to be done over
again. If the ticks are frequent
ly removed by picking and the
cattle are creased Immediately
after they are taken from the
pasture in September, the dan
ger of future infection will be
greatly lessened.
Any of the above methods may
be followed from midsummer un-
til the following April.
Select the method best suited
to your conditions and carry it
out vigorously. Help your
neighbor to do the same.
Be sure that no other cattle
pass over the premises where
your cattle go unless the other
cattle kept free of ticks.
Do not let single tick mature
after September 1.
If everyone will do his part in
getting rid of ticks the cattle
quarantine will be removed.

more about cattle ticks
you may obtain Farmers Bull
letins Nos. 258 and 261 on the
subject by addressing the United

ture, Washington, D. G. |
