another year, and 'every little bit
helps"
This weeks weather has been ideal
for making hay, and our farmers have
been making good use of the sunshine,
and many fields are dotted with large
stacks of bright, sweet hay. With the
ease with which the crop can be made,
and the price it commands, it is a little
strange that more attention is not given
TO cotton. But there are lots of farmers
who value their ability as successful
--agriculturists, not on he number of
barrels of corn or pounds of meat Or
tons of hay they make, on the num-
Der of bales of cotton, and at the same
xime agree hat it is one Of the most ex-
pensive crops they can raise.
We had our first experience last week
with ''limberneck''i in poultry, o rducks
rather, and we give it in hopes that
some one else may be benefited. Dead
rats had furnished the cause, and hav-
ing just read the treatment in Progress
sive Farmer, we proceeded at once on
three cases, each one of which was
dead very in i've minutes. b Pro
gressive Farmer treatment consisted in
equal parts of sweet oil and turpentine.
On the fourth case, we decided to test
our old slick friend of boyhood. castor
oil. In five minutef after we had
drenched said duck, be was better, and
after repeating the dose every four
hours for three times, he is anything
else now but a dead duck. The dose
was a ~teaspoonful.
