Hauling Hay.

It Is o very desirable thing to be able
to haul all the hay into the barn the
same day It Is cut. TIE worriment and
anxiety consequent upon the liability of
a storm before morning are thus avoid
ed, and experience has taught that hay
having no more than, three or four
hours sun will come out In the spring
perfectly sweet and m fine condition
for the cattle. In adopting this plan it
Is well to keep the hay constantly
stirred with a tedder. There has been
a fear Of putting hay into some barns
that contain q noticeable amount Of
water, but If It Is properly packed by
being evenly distributed over the NOV,
each forkful trodden upon, and the
barn kept closed as much as possible
the result will probably be gratifying.

Nail Wounds in Hoofs.

= It has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries In
the horses hQof may lead to an infec-
ton followed by formation Of pus under
the horn Of the hoof and a serious gen.
'sfsl- disease Of the horse o. at least
the loss Of the hoof. In a bulletin Of
the South Dakota Station, Moore has
recently reported results obtained In q
number Of cases from applying q strict
antiseptic treatment to injuries Of this
sort. The method consists in pairing
away the horn Of the hoof from the
affected part until the blood oozes out
The hoof Is then thoroughly washed
in q solution Of bichlorid Of mercury at
the rate Of one part to 500 Of water,
after which absorbent cotton saturated
In q solution of the same strength Is
applied to the wound and the whole
hoof Is packed in cotton surrounded by
q bandage and we'll coated with tar.
This prevents any further filth from
coming In contact with the wound. The
operation must usually be done by q
qualified veterinarian. Subsequent
treatment, however, can be applied by
the average farmer, since all that is
necessary is to pour a little Of this solu-
ton of bichlorid of mercury upon the
cotton which projects from the upper
part Of the bandage. The cotton will
absorb enough of the solution to keep
the wound moistened and hasten the
healing process.

A Pointed Question.

Two COWS cost $40 each per year for
keep. One of them yields you 1000
quarts Of milk q year, that bring you
$50. The other yields 100 quarts, that
bring you $26. The latter loses for you
about $14 and reduces the gain on the
former from $40 to S32. Why do you
keep the 1%,200-quart COW? You would
be better off with the one that clears
$46.. for you would have only half the
investment. half the work, and half
the feeding, and you would gain $14
each year. There would be no surplus
butter ON the market for years to come
and prices would rule strong If the
cows were eliminated which are kept
at q loss. Dairy farmers have not yet
half walked up to In understanding Of
the great practical Importance of weed
ing out the improbable cows from
tlieir herds. Many a man would make
a fair profit, that now faces a constant
loss, II he would keep only such cows
as pay a profit on their keep.-Farm

Vines I'm tho Barnyard.

The barn should never be built near

be kept as sanitary as the house itself.
A country barnyard should be Is nea.
and tidy Is the d%ooryard. There is no
reason why vines should not grow over
the walls and fences, and trees shade
the inclosed animals. 1t Is possible to
have lilacs and mock oranges growing
around the barn, as freely as about
the shrubbery. The animals are not
any less happy, and one can pick great
punches for oneself and friends.

Savings Banks I'm Mexico.

Savings banks are practically I'M
known institutions in the City of Mex
leo. If a man has a small amount t.
deposit, with the expectation of being
able to add to it from time to time, ht
will be at a loss TO find a bank tina,
will be willing to take care of his up
parently insignificant sums and pay
him interest on the money that Is thus
gradually deposited.
AS a matter of fact, there are only
about two places In the entire city thai
will show any interest in his small saw
ings, one Of these being a little banl
for working people, which was organ
lied a couple of years ago, and the 9th
er place being the Monte de la Piedad
which receives deposits of any amount
and pays 6 per cent interest per annun
on them.
The little savings bank has had
hard struggle to maintain itself. 1t Il
a noticeable fact, however, that TIT
bank in question has few Mexican
working people as depositors. most o.
its patrons being Spaniards who arr
working for wag as grocery clerk
and bookkeepers.-Mexican Herald.

Use of Coal Ashes

While coal ashes contain no fertiliz-
ing value they are certainly useful ON
the farm and should be saved They
are not entirely vakleless in the soil,
for they will materially assist In max
ing a stiff clay soil more workable IL
we'll mixed with it. The best use for
coal ashes, however, is In the filling
In of wet spots, sitting them and using
the fine ashes in the dust boxes in the
poultry houses and the coarser por-
lions for the making Of walks alone or
mixed with gravel They may be used
to advantage as a mulch around trees
mainly for the purpose of keeping the
soil moist and keeping grass from
growing around them.

New Varieties of Potatoes.

Many varieties Of potatoes come and
60, and, but for the introduction of new
varieties, potatoes would soon be scarce.
This is due to the careless selection
OF seed. All the tubers Of a crop are
scld for seed, when only the best
should be selected. If only the largest
tubers from the thriftiest and strong
est plants were retained for seed, there
would be an Improvement in the old
varieties instead Of deterioration In
quality. But as long as seed potatoes
bring good prices, there will be both
ga0d and inferior seed used.
