Cured rheumatism.

Nearly everybody is susceptible to a
twinge of rheumatism, sciatica, tooth
ache, headache or neuralgia, and it's
never safe to be without good rem
edy for an emergency of this kind.
No matter what kind of pain you
have the beneficial effect Of Sloan's
Liniment is immediate. You lay it on
lightly-no rubbing whatever-and a
pleasant warmth is felt at once. The
Liniment penetrates right to the bone
and quickly stops the pain.
Mr.. Chas. J. Budlong of Anthony, r.
l., Box 125, writes: "For many years
I was a great sufferer from rheuma-
tism. My hips would swell to enorm-
Gus proportions and my knee joints

ing, awful manner imaginable. / used

Feed Value of Alfalfa.

In composition alfalfa is nearly, If
not quite, equal to bran pound for
pound The excellent feeding value of
alfalfa lies in it's high content of di-
gestible protein. With an average yield
of four tons, alfalfa will produce $50
pounds of digestible protein to the acre.
If this amount Of protein were sup
piled from oil meal, which is usually
purchased for it's protein content. it
would require 1.5 TONS which would
cost more than $50 at present The
alfalfa mills which are being estab-
lished all over California are turning
off a ton of ground alfalfa for $3.50.
The same quantity of protein in bran
is now costing $27 right here in the
milling country, where grain raising is
our chief occupation. The greatest lack
of economy we see on many ranches is
the owners fail to grow sufficient al
falfa, and must therefore buy bran to
help out.-Field and Farm.

BAD ITCHING HUMoR.

"Some two months ago had hui

how they itched and burned. They
were so swollen that 1 could not get
my shoes on for a week or more. I
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
fering was intense and during that time

success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
Known value, but one Of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and

OUR HARDWOOD FORESTS.
Only Limited Area to Supply the Con-
stantly Growing Demand.

1t will be remembered that there are
no hardwoods on the Pacific coast. Elk
cept in a comparatively small area in
southeastern Missouri and Arkansas the
hardwoods are not known west of the
Mississippi river, while in the states
north of the Ohio, where oak was former
ly abundant, there is none remaining
today. In fact the principal source of
supply for these woods is the very linn
tied area in the higher mountains of
western, North Carolina, part of Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, eastern Tennessee
and southeastern Kentucky, while from
fifty times this entire area in the remain
ing states of the Union the demand is
constantly increasing.
Forest conditions in the Cumberland
mountains are far better than III other
portions of the United States. The
rainfall is ample to secure most rapid
growths. The soil has not been eroded
to such an extent as to make renewals
difficult.
An abundance of low growing shrub
and heritage keep the soil cool and
moist and maintain soil fertility, while
much of the region contains a fine stand
of the more valuable oaks, hickories,
poplar, hemlock and walnut. The latter
can be quickly secured by supplying the

Poultry Items.

Look for lice if the poultry refuse to
go into the roosting house at night.
Lice are the cause of death of more
half-grown turkeys than from any 9TH
er cause.
Make the entrance to the nests from
the back to make them dark, and make
them big enough SO the hens can get in
and out without breaking the eggs
Almost any breed of fowls may be
kept within bounds if rightly treated,
even though it is much easier to con-
fine large breeds than smaller ones.
No one wants eggs that have been
washed; they don't look right. To get
good price for eggs they must be
naturally clean as well as fresh.
Overcrowding or confinement in un-
healthful quarters causes diseases
among poultry. This, however, is not
excusable on the farm There is plen-
ty of room and sanitation should be
perfect.
Corn is not good feed for poultry
that is kept in yards too small to grow
green stuff, but it is the very best feed
for fowl when they are on pasture,
where they get plenty of insects and
clover to pick at.
Loss or waste is one of the great
drawbacks in the poultry business.
Waste should be prevented, and every
pound of feed should be made to pro-
duce the greatest possible gains. Clean
illness is one-half the battle in prevent
ing loss. Keep everything about the
yard clean and much loss will be stop

Rusty Milk Cans.
~OONO~~~O.


"Rusty cans and their effect upon
milk" is the title of very valuable
bulletin of the University of Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station. Ex-
periments indicate that milk hauled in
the poorly timed or rusted cans is ma
terially injured for cheese making, for
in addition to the retarding influence
Of the iron on the rennet action and
the naturalization of the acid by the
iron, 1T also produces taints or Off-fav-
to our creameries and cheese factories
are too often of a cheap grade, and
they are used too frequently after they
have become tainted, and the tin be-
comes cracked and checked so that the
iron is exposed and rusts. In these ex-
periments, milk was placed in rusty tin
cans and allowed to stand for different
periods, while other samples Of the
same milk were kept in glass beakers.
Every time that this experiment was
repeated, the milk kept in the rusty
cans gave evidence of a retarding infu-
ence on the rennet as compared with
the milk kept in the glass beaker. Milk
which was allowed to stand in iron
utensils for several hours had a pecu-
liar blush color, indicating the pres
ence Of iron in the solution. It was
evident that the acid in the milk acted
upon the iron and dissolved some Of it.
The maximum quantity Of iron dis
solved in the milk ranged from 1 to
~ pounds for every thousand pounds
Of milk.
The Bulletin urges that the managers
| Of cheese factories and creameries see
, that the operator is reliable man,
who will not only practice cleanliness,
but will insist that the factory uten-
csilss and those Of the patrons are, in
/ ,frst-class condition. He advocates the
use of only such cans in which heavy
steel is used that have been well tin
ned, similar to those used in Europe
Experience has proven that the cans
of the best quality. even though they
are quite expensive, are the most eco
nomical in the long run.

not smell bad when burning.
To clean the refrigerator wash the

pieces of charcoal in the corners to abb
sorb the odors of food. These should

A safety Device.

A simple and effectual way to block
wagon on a mountain road when
drawing a heavy load is to fasten a
piece of 4x4-inch scantling to the rear
axle so that it just drags on the ground
behind the wheel. When the wagon
starts back it stops against the block.
Fasten the block with heavy eye and
staple near the wheel so that when not
in use it may be swung up out of the
way and hooked to the axle near the
opposite wheel.

Study of windbreaks.

Study of Windbreaks.
An effort to determine the value Of
windbTeaks on farms is being made by
the Forest Service of the United States
Department Of Agriculture At pres.
ent wtndbreaks are planted haphazard
and many do not believe in them, so it
is time we had some definite informa-
ton on the subject. If there is a par
ticular kind of tree that makes bet
ter protection to crops without doing
any harm we should know 1t. The
Forest Service proposes to find out
just how much, If any, and when wind
breaks increase crop yields. lnstru-
ments will be used to measure heat and
cold, moisture and dryness both above
and below ground; to register the force
Of the wind near the windbreaks and
some distance away; to measure light
intensity and take note Of the effects OF
shade; to register frosts at different
distances from the trees and to keep
account Of the effect of windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to

urements and tests will be made and
elaborate data will be collected by ex-
perts who will have charge of the In
vestigation. Corn will be the first crop
studied behind windbreaks. Corn is a
particularly good crop to experiment
with because it is easily injured by
hot, dry winds, will not stand shading
and is very sensitive to frosts.
If it is found, as is generally sup
posed, that windbreaks are a decided
advantage to crop yields, it will be an
easy matter for the farmer to plant
trees in his fence rows or along the
sides Of his fields toward the prevail
ing winds and thus protect his crops as
well as produce valuable crop OF tim
Der. In view of the fact that our tim
Der supply is rapidly waning, it stands
every farmer in hand to plant some
trees and to maintain the wood lots
upon his farm, so If windbreaks can be
used to advantage, he can easily make
/ the trees he plants serve double pur-
pose. The results of the Investigation
will be awaited With interestl i ar
