Answer.-The first step is to put the
wound in proper condition. If there is
no foreign matter in the wound it need
not be washed. In fact, we think it, is
best to leave the blood and plastic
lymph which nature secretes as soon
as the cut is made in the wound. This
quickly assists the healing.
1t is good idea to fill the wound
with a mixture of finely powdered
resin and finely powdered bichlOride
of mercury. This may be applied from
an old pepper box. If there is cOnsid-
cradle torn flesh the shreds CT strings
should be removed as soon as possible
or they may be the means of causing
proud flesh. Take a very small pair
of scissors and clean them well before
the operation Then cut all the torn
pieces and strings from their hangings
and remove them from the wound
A great many contend that the sore
should be washed once each day till it
heals, but this should never be done.
A sore will never heal if it is washed
out each day. Never remove healing
scab. Tie the horse so he cannot get
to the scab and dig it off.

squeeze the grubs from their hiding
places and destroy them. This is
very practical way if he has only q
few cattle.
One of the best methods is the APP
plicatiOn of grease to the back OF the
animal. Any of the brands of axle
grease viii answer the purpose admi-
rably. Place u small quantity over
each lump on the back of the animal.
This shuts out the air, and the grub
dies of suffocation. 1t will take some
little time, of course, to apply this, but
it will be effective
Another excellent plan is to rub 4
little fish oil or kerosene and lard over
the backs of the animals without re.
Spect to the location Of the Jumps con-
tanning the grubs Make the applica-
ton so that the skin is slightly Gov
cred for two or three inches On either
side of the backbone. The kerosene
not only shuts out the air from the
grub, but it many times destroys the
grub before it is suffocated.

SHORT ANSWERS.

VARIETY OF FEEDS.-R. NJ. O.,
Longmont, Colo: Be sure to feed a
variety of feeds at this time of the
year You should no more expect your
animals to exist on one or two kinds
of feeds than you should expect to do
so yourself Just because you are out
of one feed is no excuse for not feed
ing a variety Sell some of the feed
you have and purchase other feeds to
make the variety.
SHOEING THE HORSE.-A. B. r.,
washington, S. D.: When you have the
horse shod, never allow the smith to
fit the shoe when it is heated to a vel
low heat till it imbeds itself in thin
ly pared hOof. 1t may not cause trou-
BILE. but the chances are that it will.
If the shoe is heated only at a dark
heat, generally no serious results will
follow.
MAKING MANURE. X. o. D..
Lyle, Mimi: The farmer with four
horses, ten COWS and 100 hogs has in
the animals a manure factory which
produces nearly $500 worth of fertility
each year. We wonder how many
farmers look after the product of this
factory and save it with as little loss
as possible!
WHEN TO MANURE.-O. o. NJ,
West Plains, Mo-: Now is good time
to cover the stubble field with manure
Do not pile the manure in heaps, as iS
the practice in some sections Of the
country. When in heaps the materials
ferment and much of the nitrogen
passes off into the air. Spread it out
evenly over the field and leave till
ready to plow. No fertility will eVap-
crate from the manure when it is not
In heaps large enough to heat.

AnSwer-The statement is sometimes
made that the seed corn can be treated
for smut much the same and with as
satisfactory results as treating oats
for smut. Such is not the case. The
spores of the corn smut do not spend
the winter on the seed, as the spores
of the oats smut do on oats seed. Since
this is true no matter how much the
seed of the corn is treated, not single
spore will be killed.
About the only way to successfully
overcome this trouble is to practice q
rotation of crops. When the ground
once gets infested with the spores of
the disease, there is no way to over
come it, OF course some years it may
be worse than others, but this is al
ways due to the weather in the spring
and early summer. If there is a great
deal of moist weather, there is usually
more corn smut. If the weather is dry
during Il considerable portion of the
time when the disease usually spreads,
there will not be SO much of 1T.
By rotation the corn is not grown on
the field, and the spores perish, so that
next year or the next the corn can be
grown again with the assurance that
there will not be so much smut. OF
course there may be some, but what
there is is always dropped upon the
field by the stock in their manure. The
cattle eat the smut on the corn and
then carry spores to another field and
drop them there in their manure, and
the next year smut will be present
upon the corn.
A few scientists laugh at the idea Of
the farmer gathering the smut in the
fall when he gathers his corn, but we
think this is a good practice. By so
doing all possibility Of the stock eat
ing it and carrying the disease to other
fields in their manure is removed.

Answer.-There is usually number
Of these every spring, more iii some
cattle than in others. II there are but
few, there need be no particular
alarm. but if there are a great number
and have been number each year for
several years the farmer should EN-
ploy means to exterminate them. The
MARBLE may seem like a very little
thing, but it has been estimated that
it causes from $30,000,O00 to $G0.000.-
0G0 loss every year to the cattle raisei$
of the United States. Of course il
rarely if ever causes the death OF Ing
animal, but it lowers the price OF the
hide and the price of the animal -
beef. Grubby hides usually sell for Z
cent pound less than perfect hides.
and the beef from grubby cattle al
ways sells from 10 to 20 cents less per
hundred
1t should be borne in mind that this
grub is the larva of Il fly which oc-
posits her eggs in the summer around
the heels of the COW. In licking the
heel the COW takes the egg into her
mouth. where it matches 4 grub, anu
after boring through the gullet the
grub works its way through the tiy
sues of the back till it shows itself il.
humps in the vicinity Of the backbone
When it has matured rs a grub il
leaves the animal and falls to the
ground. where il becomes a fly aud is

The only time the farmer can COM
bat them is when they are in the backs
of his cattle. BY observing the farmer
can tell which Of his animals are in
tested.

especially with timothy, clover and
alfalfa?
Answer-W timothy and perhaps
redtOp the practice of sowing a nurse
crop has many friends, and doubtless
it is good practice in the majority of
cases. But with clover and alfalfa we
think that nurse crops should never be
sOwn unless the ground is known to be
very weedy, and then it is generally
not advisable to do so when alfalfa is
sOUn.
\ We think it q much better practice
to plow the ground early i'll the spring.
If it had not been plOwed in the fal.
before, and disk it every ten days till
two or three diskings have been made
Then SOW the clover seed and harrow
once or twice 1t may be that few
weeds will come up at the start, but il
YOU have sown good clover seed it will
not take the plant long to smother out
the smaller weeds. If a number OF
weeds do get the start of the clover.
wait till they are beginning to form
blossoms preparatory to seeding ana
then cut the weeds and clover and re-
move the mixture from the meadow
The clover will then make rapid
growth and soon Overshadow tho
ground. The removal of the weeds be
fore they have had time to go to seed
inSures a cleaner field the following
year Many times when the seed is
sown with some of the grains as
nurse the seeds of these weeds lie dor
mant in the ground till the next year
and then sprout up and go to seed be
fore it is time to harvest the hay.
Another good practice and one that
is coming into favor by number of the
most extensive farmers cf the middle
west is what is called the late seeding
method. The ground is plowed in the
fall or early in the spring, as suggested
above. and disked every week till after
corn planting time. Some keep up the
diskings as late as the first week of
June. Then the ground is prepared
and the seed sown rs above recon-
mended In so doing greater num-
Der of the weeds have terminated and
have been destroyed by the continued
diskings, so that when the clover is
sown it can be grown unhindered.
With alfalfa it has been found that
nurse crops are actually detrimental
and should never be sown under any
consideration. With this plant. as with
clover, it should have a great deal OF
moisture when it is making its first
growth, and many times when there
is a nurse crop growing i'll connection
that crop drinks up the moisture the
clover or alfalfa should have. 1t is
true that you will lose partial crop
of small grain, but the better meadow
the second year will more than pay
for the loss. We have noted several
instances where a nurse crop was not
sown that a fair cutting of clover or
alfalfa was made the first year. Thi:.
more than balanced what was lost b.
not growing a nurse crop Of course
these instances may not be very nu-
merous, but they show that it is gen
orally better to dispense with the nurs"
crop.
Where nurse crop is not grown the
weeds may be clipped at any time.
while if you have nurse you general
ly want TO wait till that crop is near
" ripe before removing it. and the re-
suit is you have smothered out con

For Cluar Smokers.

When you smoke a cigar you want
a good one. A poor cigar is rank
abomination and a stencil in your own
nostrils and in those of your friends
within smelling distance.
The trouble with most OF us is to
find cigar with rich, satisfying aroma
and easy drawing qualities without
paying an eSorbitant price for It. 1t
remained for Frank 2. Lewis OF
Peoria, H.. to solve the problem for
US. His Lewis Single Binder SC cigar
is without doubt the peer Of any brand
Of l0c cigars on the market. The
Lewis Single Binder cigar is wrapped
in tinfoil and reaches the smoker as
fresh as when leaving the factory. Its
smooth, rich. satisfying smoking quail
tiles are a delight both to the palate
and the nostrils of cigar connoisseurs
everywhere. In spite of the fact that
the Lewis factory employ no travel
ing men the sales this year will eN'
ceed 100000, the demand being Gre
ated solely on the high quality OF the
tobacco used.
