Eczema Of the Horse.

Eczema OF Sno uor0Os
The treatment for eczema In horses
is as follows: In the early stages give
the animals dose Of physic. say. ono
ounce of aloes, one ounce Of pulverized
ginger and one ounce Of common soda
all dissolved in one-half, pint Of boiling
water, then add one-half pint Of cold
water and give at one dose. When
the physic has operated have ready the
following: Mix together four ounces
each of pulverized saltpeter and cop
pcras and divide into twenty-four
doses, one dose to be given twice daily
in q small bran mash. Also wash the
skin Of the affected parts with lotion
Of one ounce Of carbonate Of potash
dissolved in a quart of water. Fei
chronic cases give one-half ounce Of
Fowler's solution of arsenic In brah
mash twice daily and continue for a
month, In addition to washing the skin
as already described. II the skin
should become thick and scaly rub on
a little of a mixture Of the two drains
Of biniodide of mercury and four ounces
of vaseline. Never cover over much
surface at one time. but take one side
of the neck or other portion first and
in three days the other side or another
portion. One application Is usually
all that is needed. but II it should not
cure repeat 1t in two weeks. Tie the
head Of the animal 80 that It cannot
get its head to the anointed parts for
ten or twelve hours.-Atlanta Constitu-

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Care Of the Teeth.

To make the teeth gllsten besides
making them white brush them every
morning with warm water. a fairly
stiff brush and a good dentifrice. A
good dentifrice is an absolute neces-
sity to keep the teeth pure. After they
have been thoroughly cleaned 60 over
them with a solution of water and
peroxide and the teeth will giisten
beautifully unless they are In an un-
healthy condition.
Cleanliness cannot be accomplished
with an old water soaked toothbrush
nor one which Is used constantly
Have two brushes, and when one has
been used for couple Of days wash
II In carbolic water and lay in the air
and sun for two days. Carbolic water
Is made by putting two drops Of car
bolic acid in pint Of boiling water.
When the brush becomes discolored
on the back throw 1t away.

Pure Air For Sheep.

1t seems as though we are appreciat-
ing the worth Of pure air for live
stock on the farm more and more
each year. Instead Of shutting sheep
In the barn and compelling them to
breathe over and over again the i'm
pure air, as we did in former days,
we seek to keep the sheep a great
deal Of the time in the open yards
and in sheds we'll ventilated. A light,
roomy shed, with ventilation without
draft and destitute Of rank odors,
is the modern ideal Of place in which
to keep sheep. We know now that the
oxygen in pure air Is necessary for the
making Of good blood. muscles, bones,
nerve force, etc.. and imparting life,
health and vigor to the animals-N. A.

ironing Fad For Embroidery.

A three cornered pad made from
several thicknesses of old blanket or
table padding and covered with a
mans old pocket handkerchief or a
piece Of old linen Is convenient to slip
underneath embroidered monograms
on table and bed linen or the hand
embroidery on waists and lingeries.
which are SO much more effective
when ironed over heavy pad. If
loop Of tape Is sewed to one corner the
pad can be hung on the ironing board.

Cheap Hoo Din.

A hog dip can be provided In a very
simple manner with crude oil. says
Farmers Advocate. Simply make q
shallow trough or tank into which the
animals can crawl at will. Fiji this
about half full Of water and pour in
enough crude oil to make a scum from
one fourth to one-half inch thick.
When the hog enters this artificial wal.
low it's hair and skin receive little Of
the oil-just enough to prove destruc.
tive to the lice and other parasites on
its body. Add oil to the water about
twice each month.

IMPROVED BROILER.

broiling can be as readily done on a
gas stove as on a coal fire. Attached
70 each side Of the frame of this broil-
er are supports which prevent it from
coming in direct contact with the top
Of the stove. When placed over the
circular opening in the stove the sup
ports keen the frame and its contents
extended from the fire. BY placing the
supports on each side the broiler can
be reversed as occasion demands.

The old question is revived, When Ia
the best time to fall plow? When the
question of weed destruction is elm
mated, the best time Is as late In the
fall as possible. 1t has been demon
strated that the more porous the soil
the easier the frosts Of winter can act
on the insoluble plant foods and the
greater will be the amount of available
plant food in the soil the following
year. Ground that has been plowed
early in the fall becomes compacted
by the fall rains. and the improvement
in freezing is not so great.-Agricultu

MiddIlnus and Shorts,

Middlings and shorts are terms used
to some extent. 1t has
become common to find shorts con-
sisting simply Of ground over bran, al
most free from foury particles, with
the sweepings and dirt Of the mill add
ed. Such material is very unsatisfac-
tory for stock feeding and should be
avoided. Middlings are especially USE
full for feeding horses, since these an
imals cannot utilize much crude fiber.
They should be mixed with cornmeal,
oats or other feeding stuffs, as pure
middlings are a heavy feed and liable
to produce colic.-Feeds and Feeding.
