Work of Oxen.

We have known a man to buy a yoke
of three-year-old steers in the spring,
work them hard six day, in the week,
giving them good hay and about four
quarts Of meal a day until October,
when the work lessened and the grain
was increased. In November he sold
them as beef for about $50 more than
he paid for them. If horses had done
the same work they would have want
ed more grain and probably would
have been valued much less in the fall
than they cost in the spring.
1t is said that oxen might not
work as well on the reaper or moving
machine, but they might also. We
have had three or four year cattle that
would walk for miles as fast as any
pair Of horses and force many horses
to trot a part of the way to keep up
with them and a pair of old cattle that
walked faster than the ordinary farm
horse. A part of that was due to their
having been trained to walk quickly,
and a part was due to the breed.
Small cattle like the Devons, Jerseys
or Ayrshires are naturally active and
easily learn to walk fast, while the
larger Durhams and Herefords like to
move more lelsurely, and this is true

CARE OF CLOTHES.
How q Well Dressed Woman Looks
After Her Dresses and Hats.

How q Well Dressed W0man Looks
After Her Dresses and Hats.
The woman who knows how to put
away her belongings is not only neat,
but economical and generally smart in
appearance, says the Kansas City Star.
When she comes in from a walk she
never hangs up her coat by the loop
inside the collar. If she puts it away in
the closet she uses a coat hanger; If she
leaves it around the room, knowing she
may need it soon, she disposes it owe
the back Of a chair that will keep it in
shape. The skirts Of her gowns never
have a stringy look because they are
always hooked and then hung by two
loops. For a tailor made skirt she uses
a small coat hanger with the ends bent
down a little. This keeps the skirt in
excellent shape and causes 1t to hang
in even folds. The strings Of her IN
derskirts are tied and the garment is
hung by the loops, thus never showing
a hump where it has rested on the
hook. For the same reason her shirt
waists are always hung by the arm
holes, unless they have hanging loops.
Handsome waists have both sleeves
and body stuffed with tissue paper and
are then laid in drawers or boxes.
Shoes are easily kept in shape by
slipping a pair of trees into them as
soon as they are removed from the
feet, If trees are not available, news
paper will do, if it is stuffed in tight.
It Is well to roll each veil on a stiff
piece Of paper. A. single foil will often
spoil the set Of a veil and sometimes
even mar the expression Of a face.
Gloves should always be removed by

blown into shape and each finger
smoothed out. Ties, especially four-in-
hand or golf ties, should be hung to
avoid creasing.
Hats, Of course, should be kept out Of
the dust and placed so that the trim
ming will not be d~isarranged. This dis
position depends so much on the hat
and the available space that each wo-
man must use her own ingenuity.
However, it Is safe to say that no hat
should be laid fiat down on a shelf.
Furs, also, should be protected from
dust, and a muR should always be
stood on end.

To Get Lots of Eggs.

A. B. Ancier Of Earlville, N. Y, gives
the following rules for producing heavy
egg returns: In the morning feed a
mash composed Of ground corn, oats,
wheat, clover and green bone. just what
they will eat up clean, and later throw
into the litter a little wheat or millet
for which they will have to scratch.
At noon give steamed clover with mid
dlings, at night cracked corn, wheat
and barley, all they will clean up at
once. Never feed more than they will
eat Immediately. Suspend a head Of
cabbage in the pen for them to pick
at during the day. You will be sur
prised at the amount Of green food they
will eat during the winter season. A
most excellent green food for all kinds
of fowls is Dwarf Essex rape. Sow the
poultry yards to rape In winter and
when the snow Is off give the fowls
free access to it and your eggs will
practically all be fertile.

The Seasons Fertility.

Nothing we can add will throw one
ray of light on the seasons fertility Of
eggs-for-hatching topic, but the reader
may have faith enough to read of a
few instances that we will mention
even after we make the above admts-
sion, says American Poultry journal.
Those who are among the p%oultrymen
report low fertility. In some western
yards the fertility has been high all
season, but to balance this comes the
report from down east that yer half
the shipments are failures. Every
season has its good and bad matches
and yet no statistician has had the
colossal nerve required to gather data
on the subject. Lately we noted that
a shipment Of eggs from Scotland
Matched better than 40 per cent. This
is remarkable, though the eggs were
extra well packed.

OLD FOLKS
Can Renew Their Strength.

While it is impossible for the
aged to renew their youth we want
to say to all elderly people in
Salisbury that they can renew
their strength by taking our de-
licious codliver preparation, Vinol.
Vinol, being rich in the ele-
ments of life, is an ideal strength
ener and body builder for old folks.
Mr.. A. J. Barker, of Evansville,
Ind, says: "There is no other
medicine in the world equal to
Vinol for elderly people. 1 would
not take a thousand dollars for
the good it had done me-"
Vinol is not a patent medicine,
but a real cod liver preparation
made by a scientific, extractive
and concentrating process from
fresh Gods livers combining with
peptonate-of-iron all the medicinal
healing, bodybuilding elements
of cod liver oil, but no oil.
Vim j tones up the digestive
organs. makes rich red blood, and
sound, steady nerves. In this
way it repairs worn tissues, checks
the natural decline of the aged,
builds up the run down, tired and
debilitated, and. replaces weakness
with strength. We ask every
aged or weak person in Salisbury
to try Vinol on our offer to refund
money if it fails to give satisfac-
ton. The 7. W. Grimes Drug Co.,

4 Disease That Is the Bane of the
Poultryman's Life-The Cure.
Bumblefoot Is noticed mostly in fowls
that are fat, and in heavy varieties is
attributed by some to jumping from
high roosting places, but a writer In
Western Poultry Journal has known
very bad cases to break out in" focks
which were accustomed to roosting on
fiat surfaces and where all conditions
were seemingly perfect, although I'M
doubtedly the trouble arises from
bruises Of the feet either by stones in
scratching or from jumping. Cases
have been known where the corn form
ed on the underside of the foot, cover
ing a surface measuring three-quarters
Of an inch and when forcibly removed
pulled with it a hard white pus Of the
same length. Treatment, If taken in
time, is simple and effective, and con-
sists in keeping the bottom Of the foot
soft either by placing the fowl on straw
or softening the swollen foot by the
application of vaseline or some carbolic
a%ntiseptic. Proper treatment consists
in first washing the affected foot, re-
moving any foreign substance, and If
on examination the foot seems soft and
likely to eG6stain pus open by making
an tncision with a sharp knife and
syringe the wound with the antiseptic,
one part, and water, fifty parts, bind
ing on it also an ointment consisting OF
one part antiseptic and forty parts vas
cline. An excellent remedy also con-
sists in binding on the diseased foot a
small piece of salt pork, which will
soften 1t in two Or three days, when
the corn may be removed and the pork
egaiu applied TO heal up the wound.
0niess treated bumbiefo6 wifi pass
upward through the leg of the fowl Of
fected and lead to swelling, great sore
ness and gangrene Or assesses. The
trouble yields readily to the above
treatment and will, if treated In time,
save the fowl.

HOW to Wash nm Automobile.

When the owner Of an automobile
has engaged a new driver he should
STAND by to watch the method adopted
when the new broom washes the a
for the first time, says the Pittsburg
Press. If a hose Is provided and the
new man forthwith plunges a sponge
into water and commences to wipe the
mud and dust off the paint work 1t Is
clear that he does not know his job
and should be stopped at once. Mud
and dust should never be wiped off,
even with a wet sponge, but should be
washed away with water just running
from the hose pipe without force. 1t
should be sluiced away, and that can
not be done properly If the water is
pouring forcibly through the nozzle.
Where mud has caked upon the car
water must be allowed to run gently
over the incrustations until they break
up and are washed away. Then a
clean sponge and clean water must be
used for finally washing the paint work
when all the mud and grit have disap-
peared. The final drying and polishing
can be done with perfectly clean, grit
less channels feathers. Cars should be
washed Immediately upon coming into
the garage. Wherever dried mud rests
for any time q dull stain remains which
nothing will remove.

For Quality EGGS.

The day of the market poultryman is
dawning, for nov the big egg buyers
demand eggs by the dozen instead Of
by the case Buying by case means
accepting good, bad and rotten; buy
ing by the dozen means that eggs are
candled and poor ones, not paid for.
This aids the poultryman who desires
to work up a high class demand for a
strictly fancy product. The largest
buyers Of eggs now demand quality
before quantity, and they pay good,
liberal margins over the market price to
get what they want. Clean, fresh eggs
are what they demand, and they soon
cut from their lists the one who for
ward the inferior stuff along with the
good.

BUR CLOVER.

Interest In This Winter Growing
Plant For Cattle.
In the southern section bur clover
promises to be a great crop. In Wayne
county it is grown in big fields, and
many farmers are afraid it will take
the country. One farmer Of my &C
quaintance down there drove me out
to his farm last November while I vas
stopping in the little town Of Jesup,
and he showed me a field of forty-ive
acres that he had cleared Of stumps
and sowed to bur clover. 1t was then
two feet deep all over the place, and
hogs and cattle were doing all they
could to destroy 1t. The farmers for
many miles around gathered and want
ed to know what to do to keep on
farming. In every little corner that
was not closely cultivated the bur
clover showed itself in fine shape. 1
told them to plant more Of it and buy
cattle. That was a good way to settle
the labor question, I told them. I in
quired of the owner Of the farm,
which, by the way, consisted Of 1926
acres, how much he valued the place
at. To this he replied he had been Of
fering it at $1,000. There were, all told,
100 acres of land cleared, and 1 ad-
vised him to put 1t all in clover and
buy a hundred head Of high grade beef
cattle and raise cattle. He could use
the idle land for p%asturage and put
them on the clover when he desired to
do SO.
l learned since that he has done this
and now puts the value Of the land at
double what he did. If the farmers of
that territory will go into the work Of
