Horse Talk.

Never leave a horse tied with his
head to the wind.
BEDDING makes the manure much
more valuable and makes the horses
look better
Never leave home without a horse
blanket. and when the horse is stopped,
even for short time, put the blanket
on him.
Be sure that the halters put on the
colts are strong and we'll fitted. If
broken or rubbed off it will not be for
gotten, and the result will be halter
breaking horse and a nuisance
Give the colts a chance. Thrifty
yearlings should grow one hand taller
this winter But they won't do it un-
less well fed.
Do not give the colts ice cold water
to drink. When colt shivers a days
growth is taken out of him.-Farm

ther Florida or Sumatra leaf. 1t is
sorted before sweating and never after
ward. Colors change unequally in the
sweat. The leaf next to sides of the
case does not sweat in the same de-
gree as that farther in, so that cigar
manufacturers often must resweat
this outside leaf, a thing which adds
to the cost. The tobacco is, to be sure,
sized according to length, but any one
who studies his crop carefully in the
field knows that even in his own crop
the width and shape and style of leaf
vary good deal.
With Sumatra and also with Florida
leaf the case is quite different. In the
/ first place. these tobaccos are sorted
after sweating. not before. The colors
are fixed then. For the same reason
there is no resweating to be done
Here is a saving of labor and of ex.
pense to the manufacturer.
Cut wrappers from a big Havana ol
seed leaf and you have left perhaps
two inferior wrappers or few binders
and large amount of waste leaf
which you paid so to 70 cents pound
for, to use as filler if you will or tt
sell again for from 10 to 20 cents {

lot of waste product on hand to dis
pose of as best you can.

CASE OLE SORE HEAD.

[Showing crusts on comb, eyelids and
slSin.l
and daily applications of lard and
vaseline are all that is required. In
bad cases, especially where they do not
improve as rapidly as they should, give
internally as much as teaspoonful Of
vaseline containing a few drops of
creosote or ten to thirty grains of ep-
som salts in q tablespoonful of water.
This may be given once per day or
once every other day. 1t usually pre-
vents intestinal infection or complica-
tiOns.
In cases where roup predominates or
where the suborbital sinus becomes
filled with pus and the eye is greatly
distended there are several lines OF
treatment that may be followed. In
the early stages apply sweet oil OF
olive oil to the nostrils and if possible
inject some of this oil into the nasa
passages by using small nozzle anc
syringe. After injecting or applying
the oil apply pressure over the distend
ed parts, and thus expel as much o.
the pus as possible This may be re
peated twice per day.

Florida and Georgia Competing With
Northern Products.
Some points in tobacco trade require
ments as presented by DIR. E. H. Jen-
kins before the Massachusetts state
board of agriculture is reported in
New England Homestead as follows:
Florida and southern Georgia are
again becoming a great tobacco grow
ing region, and while at present its
output wraps only about 10 per cent of
the cigars of this country the business
because of its apparent success is like
ly to grow to an extent which we can
not foresee. At present Florida has the
call on the market, and it's crop sells
itself. Florida and Sumatra are I'M
questionably the popular tobaccos with
manufacturers. Wisconsin leaf is more
largely used for wrappers than it was,
and New England wrapper leaf is los
ing its pre-eminence.
The great struggle is to make cigars
as cheaply as possible. The production
of good grades Of Havana filler has not
at all kept pace with the increased ci
gar manufacture, and, as all of us who
smoke know to our cost, the quality OF
cigars has greatly deteriorated.
Mine is the unwelcome task of ask
ing you to consider the faults of oul
tobacco and not its excellencies.

dealers hands is not nearly as uni

FEEDING For EGGS.

To secure the largest egg production
the best and most heterogeneous food of
various kinds should be given, such as
alfalfa meal or nay, corn, wheat and
cooked vegetables, and the grain scat
tered in a bed of leaves, hay or straw,
so that plenty of exercise is gained by
scratching for it.
The heterogeneous ration must include
animal food, ground bone and once or
twice week lean meat scraps, which
to be wholesome and not to give an
unpleasant flavor to the eggs should
be perfectly sweet, and with it may
be given small quantity of cayenne
pepper, which is considered the best
of all stimulants to laying in early
winter For grit to aid digestion many
poultry growers maintain that there
is nothing equal to pounded up crock
cry. Coarse sand. plaster and broken
oyster shells are also needed in the
economy of egg manufacture when the
fowls are closely confined. Farm

HINTS FOR FARMERS
clover Versus Timothn.

The fact that timothy as hay pos
sesses only % per cent of protein,
while that of clover stands at 6.8 per
cent, is significant of its greater value
and usefulness in farm feeding, no
matter whether it is to be used in the
sheep pen, cattle yard or horse stable.
When 100 pounds Of clover will give
to our animals four more pounds of
protein than the same amount of tim
othg. then it is easy to see where thu
greater value of the former comes in.
AS far as real feeding value goc@,
corn fodder and bright straw are sub
stitutes that can economically be used
for timothy hay under ordinary condi-
lions. And no farmer would be found
placing the same value on these as he
would on good clover hay. And that
is not all. The additional benefit
which must necessarily accrue to the
soil from growing clover in place of
timothy must be considered No crop,
unless it be alfalfa. will improve and
enrich the soil like clover.- Illinois Cor.
