Wheat For the Hens.

We are glad to notice that the agr!-
cultural press throughout the country
has taken up the cry of more wheat
and less corn for laying hens. says the
Feather. So soon as the people through
out the country learn that corn will not
produce many eggs during the winter
months and that wheat will produce a
profitable egg yield the more pleased
will they be with the results of egg
production from their hens. Too much
corn assures an empty egg basket
Plenty of wheat bids fair for a profta
BILE egg production.

Why English Fowls Grow Big.

One firm announcing the arrival of
consignment of Orpington cockerels
from England says, 'They are, of
course, larger than any grown in this
country" We once asked prominent
judge why it is that the English fan
ciers take our American Wyandottes
and Rocks and increase their size ma
terially, says American Poultry Jour-
nal. He replied: mo warm nights
over there. Chicks not kept in small
an abundance of fresh air all the time.
Made to rustic in the meadows and
orchards. Fed but little corn, their
diet consisting almost wholly of foods
which produce bone amt muscle, such
as oats, etc.

Experience With Manure Spreader.

My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land is
far in advance of the old practice, says
a writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap-
plying manure with the spreader it is
put on uniformly, and all parts Of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, it fire.
quently happened that the work of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much OF
the fertilizing value of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements Of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well-it thor
oughly fines the n22ure and distrib.
uteS it evenly.

Pork Scraps For Poultry,

Pork scraps are relished by poultry.
but are not generally considered as
satisfactory as beef scrap. However.
they analyze about the same, except
that the pork scrap contains rather
more fat. Pork cracklings and beaf
cracklings should have about the SANE
feeding value. They are not as rich
in protein as prepared scrap, but can
be used as a substitute for a scrap
with quite satisfactory results.

Horn,ess Cattle.

The time will come when horned cat
tie will be bred only as curiosities or
for show purposes, as fancy breeds Of
poultry are now. The advantages of
the mulleys are 50 many that the horns
must go. 1t is just as easy to brsed
cattle without horns as with horns,
and it is a great deal easier to take
care of them afterward.-Farm Press.

DOCTORiNG THE COW.

Ills That May Be Cured without
Calling the Veterinary.
The farmer is often a better veteri-
nary than the advertised expert simply
because he studies cows. We are to-
day striving to get great milk records
and then are continually asking, "What
is the matter with my cow" Unfortu-
nately whenever we develop one part
of the body abnormally we do it at the
expense of some other. We must be
content with a little less milk in order
to have healthy cow.
Inflammation of Udder.
A gargety condition prevails in many
herds. Some cows are subject to this
disease, caused by a swinging udder.
Blood in the milk is not always a sign
of disease. A little injury causes in
fammation and makes the trouble, but
it is soon over. Hot water may be used.
An udder syringe to wash out the
inside of the udder should be kept by
every farmer. Then when a COW be-
gins to give stringy milk the udder can
be cleaned and garget prevented. 1t
would save many a veterinary bill In
fammation of the udder means garget
Milk fever comes from this cause. You
should have the syringes and devices
to treat the COW yourselves.
About two weeks before the birth of
a calf reduce her rations and give her
some epson salts. 1t will prevent
many a diseased COW, especially if she
is great mixer. An air syringe is a
necessity. The veterinary cannot al
ways protect you. You should be pre-
pared to treat sudden cases of milk fe-
yer yourself.
Treating COwpOx.
Cowpox is but an eruptive fever
which solution of carbolic acid will
reduce. Take ten parts of raw lin
seed oil and with it mix one part car
bolic acid and you will have a germi-
eide that is invaluable. The germ is in
the end of the teat. where there are
warmth and moisture. This will work
up and finally destroy the udder. This
can be warded off if taken in time.
When your COW kicks at milking, don't
kick her, but put on your Spectacles
and look for little blister in the end
of the teat That is the germ. Now
put little of the Oil above the blister,
and the germ cannot travel over it into
the udder. 1t is the unseen things that
are the dangerous things in this world.
Always wash your hands before milk
ing, as the germ may be ON them.
When the garget germ once gets deeply
seated and the teat hardened it is too
late to cure.
Use of Milk Tubes.
Milk tubes are useful, but they should
not be too long. If you insert long
tube into the sensitive udder glands it
causes injury. The tube should be dis
infected in boiling water before insert
ed into the teat
Carbolic acid is also good to destroy
the abortion germs or at least prevent
their multiplication-twenty-fiye drops
in the feed continued for two or three
weeks, and then drop week or two
and continue again. \ little Earning
along these lines will save many a val
liable cow.-Dr. C. D. Smead, Logan,

Do Not Crowd Tho Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them desire to get cut and ENJOY
the exhilarating air and sunshine. Chill
tlren that have been housed up all winter
are brought out and you wonder where
they all came from. The heavy clothing
is thrownaside and many shed their tlan-
nels. Then cold wave comes and peo-
pie say that grip is epidemic. Colds at
this season are even more dangerous than
in ,nid-winter, as there is much more
danger of pneumonia. Take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, however, and you
viii have nothing TO fear. 1t always
cures, and we have never known cold
to result In pneumoni: when it was used.

Mt, st, Mary's Items.

The common complaint here is that the
school children are bad They show this
particularly on the public highway, just
where good manners ought to be shown
by them. Many parents are to be blam-
ed for this unmannerly conduct and many
are ignorant as to how their children act
when away from home. If children are
neglected at home or away from home,
it is not their fault. They are neglected,
in all cases when away from home, but
when they will not obey their teachers,
there ought to be some one to enforce
the commands, and this, it seems, is sad
ly neglected here.
AS April draws near we hear of chang
es to take place among our people. Mr..
Weaver will move back and occupy the
same place as before. We are pleased to
hear that he still has a desire in his heart
for our locality.
Mr.. John Franklin will move back to
Baltimore again where he expects to take
up his former work on the electric cars.
Mr.. Harry Fox has decided to 30 with
him to the city.
Mr.. Jacob Sanders will occupy Mr..
Michael Lingg's farm beyond Motter's
station and Mr.. Riffel of Emmitsburg
will occupy the house which Mr.. Sanders
will vacate.
Miss Addie McNulty has been very III
the past week.
In some way, unknown to us, on,
neighbor Mr.. Hugh Roddy became in
volved in a law suit with the Emmitsburg
bank. Judging from the number of wit
nesses summoned to Frederick last Thurs
day, Mr.. Roddy had justice on his side
and 1t is good news to hear that so it wa!
proven in the courts Of justice.

A nice and very pleasant occurrence Of
the past week was that of a reunion here
of the Hettcrly brothers, William, Hen
ry, John and Charles. Having learned
of the illness of their father, the latter
two brothers came on from their homes
in Altoona, early in last week, and then
it was that the four met face to face for
the first time in the past 20 years. In
point Of industry, sobriety and general
good department, this quartette Of broth
ers, ranging in nge from As to GO, are
easily representative of the most worthy
tradesmen of any community, and, to the
observant ones, their meeting here and
subsequent minglings denoted naught but
keenest devotion and goodwill toward one
another. While here together "the boys"
divided their time among relatives and
other friends, visiting their sister, Mrs.
Heigh, with whom their father, Ira Het-
terly, and an aunt, Miss Harriet Het-
terly, are homeing and whose ages are
IS and SO respectively. At the present
time the father is homebound by sickness
while the aunt has for long time been
lamentably afflicted and has not been
able to leave her room during the past
seven years. Another aunt, Mrs. Lydia
Hetterly Mackley, was remembered with
visit, as well as other relatives and
friends. John and Charles returned to
their homes Monday last.

it that certain parties have been in town

knows anything about the fact in this
