For Barb Wire 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 1t up tight. 1t
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 II
will then cause the hair to fall of tenn
porarlly, and as soon as 1t 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 horseflesh 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; l ounce Of pure glycerine
mix all together in large bottle and
shake well before using. Apply only
with a feather at morning and night
The sore should never be bandaged
BY daily washing ii will ia thls way
heal up very rapidly. l can person
ally testify to the effectiveness of this
simple remedy, as we have made use
Of 1t in numerous cases, with the best
results, where every other remedy we
tried failed to heal up the sore on the
horse.-Agricultural Epitomist

THE BIRDS NEW WAYS.
Instances Where They Changed HAb-
its TO Meet New Conditions.

Instances Where They Changed HAb-
its TO Meet New Conditions.
Among the familiar examples Of the
changes in the habits of birds which
have resulted from association with
mankind are those of the chimney
swift, or popularity named chimney
swallow" says Forest and Stream,
which formerly nested in hollows of
trees and now In all settled regions
uses the chimneys Of houses, and the
barn and cave swallows, the former
originally nesting in caves and now
building on \the beams and rafters OF
barns, and the latter, once cliff
dweller, now attaching its curious
mud tenement under the shelter Of
the caves of barns and dwellings. In
series Of interesting notes In the
AUX on the changes in the habits Of
birds, George f. Breninger records
having observed in Mexico the old
and the new way Of swallow nesting.
In the ancient town Of Tuxpan he
found numerous instances Of barn
swallows nesting in the living rooms,
and in the unsettled portion Of the
State of chihuahua, a hundred, miles
back from the railroad, on one Of the
large haciendas-a region devoid Of
the time -honored adobes-barn swal-
lows still nested on the rocks.
Mr.. Breninger notes other changes
in the nesting habits due to the re-
moval of large timber. There is, for
example, the Lucy's warbler, which
normally nests In natural cavities In
the trunks of trees, most commonly
IN the mesquite; but IN the vicinity OF
Tucson, where the larger trees have
been cut away, the warblers have in
some instances had recourse to build
Ing their nests in the abandoned nests
Of other species, in one case in the
hole in bank Of earth, and most Gu
rious Of all among the small limbs Of
a mesquite tree.
In tlmbered countries the fickers
cut holes in the trunks OF trees for
their nests. In some sections where
the large trees have been removed
nave hO iOhBCi outh
nesting sites, they have taken to the
telegraph poles. Along the railroad
between Benson and Bisbee, Ariz.,"
writes Mr.. Breninger, "the telegraph
poles and fence posts show evidence
of the work of woodpeckers, all by
the Texan woodpecker. Throughout
this region trees are few. and the
woodpeckers are forced to use any
thing that is dead and large enough
to permit of nesting cavity being
excavated in 1t. Dead stalks Of the
century plant are often used. About
Phoenix, Ariz., this wOodpecker 10
common, timber suited to their needs
is still In abundance, and the poles
along the railroads and elsewhere are
untouched. In some parts Of Mexico
the work of woodpeckers on telegraph
poles has reached the stage of nui-
sance and a source of much outlay of
money to keep the line in repair. Over
piece Of road running between San
Luis Potosi and Tampico the nuisance
has become so great that the manage
ment has threatened to dip the poles

Cut Bone and Animal Food.

Just the day the fowls are brought
into the house and confined to the run
of 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. It
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
tillzer, 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
have no 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 1t 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 reason
able amount Of variety.
How Warmth Economics Food.
Temperature has great effect on
fattening animals. Where farm stock
are kept in cold houses 1t 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-
dation 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.

Poultry Notes.

Eggs are the basis Of the poultry in
dustry. Egg farming is the most prof
table branch of poultry culture. But
in order to get eggs we have to keep
hens as sort Of necessary incumber-
ance.
Some people keep hens at profit
Of 30 cents or less per year. Others
get as high profit as So per hen. 1t
Is partly a difference In the hens, but
1t 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.
