BAD ITCHING HUMoR.
Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw
Feet swoIen-sIeep Broken
Cured in Days by cuticura.

Some two months ago l had a hui
NOR break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned They
were so swollen that could not get
my shoes on for 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 did not sleep an hour at time.
Then one morning 1 tried a bit of
Cuticura. From the moment it touched
me the itching was gone and have
not felt bit OF 1t since. The swelling
went down and in two days had my
shoes on and was about as usual.

Feedlnq New Corn to Hoos.

Whether or not new corn causes
cholera or swine plague, It is not best
to begin feeding shoats all they will
eat of new corn. When l begin feed
ing new corn cut stalks and all as
long as they chew the stalks, and at
the same time, l feed them old corn
till they become accustomed to the
change, says a writer in Farmers
Voice. Thus make the change
gradually without causing any de
rangement of the bowels, which is one
of the prime causes of cholera and all
hog diseases. have never lost a
hog from feeding new corn. but /
have never put hogs on full feed OF
new corn. l cannot say from expert
ence whether or not new corn has
even tendency toward causing dis
eases of swine, but to guard against II
by making a gradual change seems to
me the wisest policy.

STOCK NOTES.

Good bedding for animals is a kind
that will keep them dry, warm and
comfortable, and is capable of absorb
ing large amounts of liquid.
Mixed farming needs live stock to
bring 1t to its highest point of sue.
cess.
Animal husbandry is now coming
to be considered as the foundation OF
all agricultural progress.
Corn is becoming so valuable for
human feed that 1t is passing out OF
the lists of animal feeds.
With little care hogs can be kept
healthy, but 1t is difficult to cure them
when sick.
A variety of food is better for hogs
than one kind.
Our best beef is now being produced
on high-priced land and on high-priced
feed.

l use hooks for ring and hook for

one hog has been scraped and pulled
up to the hook, where the entrails can

WINTERINe THE coLr.
He Must Be Better Fed Than ls the
Idle Work Horse.

Many farmers seem to think that
the wintering of the colt is no differ
ent than the wintering of the idle
farm horses. This is mistake. 1t
is quite different thing, for the colt
is a growing animal while the horse
has already attained his development.
The wintering of the colt is the same
as the wintering of any other young
animal. Good feed and care are both
essential to the best results. Where
these are not supplied there is bound
to be stunting of the young animal
and this is not to be desired.
A run about the straw stack with
nothing else to eat is not enough for
the growing colt. He needs some
thing more than clear straw for his
daily diet. The straw does not supply
the muscle making food that is nee
essary for his best development. The
colt should be treated to grain ra-
tion as we'll as one of good roughage.
DR.. Alexander puts it we'll in the fol-
lowing advice, intended for all who
are wintering growing colts:
"It is a ruinous policy to rough
colts through the winter on coarse, in
nutritious straw and hay. They should
be generously fed at all times so that
they may be kept steadily growing,
for il they stop growing in winter, or
lose part of the gain made while a
sucking, that loss never can wholly
be regained. The bones, sinews and
muscles have been stunted for all
time and the dwarfed animal can be
made only a make-believe drafter by
the fattening process, which is detri-
mental to a work horse.
"In addition to hay, fodder and
straw, oats and bran should be fed in
winter alone with sufficient amount
of corn to maintain heat and furnish
some of the vim and vigor. Dried
blood meal also is excellent as small
addition to the ration to bring up the
percentage of digestible protein, or
haxseed meal or cake may be used
with the same object, while roots,
such as carrots, are fine adjunct as
they regulate the bowels and act bene-
icially upon the skin"

Conscience.

A man who does not use his con-
science often has terrible paroxysms
of 1t; but a man who uses 1t all the
time never comes into what is called
a state of conscience. 1t comes on
him as dew on flowers, and falls on
him gently as rain on the ground. He
is full of conscience, but it is not con-
centrated at any single point. 1t is
distributed through the brain, the
nerves, the muscles and the skin. 1t
is in every part of him. 1t pervades
his life. 1t does not, therefore, rise
up into a freshet.-Henry Ward

sALTING SHEEP.
One Man Who Has Found II Better
Not to Provide Salt Box.

Keep salt before the sheep con-
stantly, seems to be the general idea
among farmers. For years l followed
the plan of sailing sheep regularly
or kept salt before them constantly.
often doubted the policy, but habit
was strong, and l continued the prac-
tice up to few years ago, when 1
practically discontinued sailing save
during the winter when on dry feed,
and then rather sparingly, explains a
writer in Farm and Home. The re-
suits have been very satisfactory.
When sheep have access to salt
they go to it many times a day, thus
creating an abnormal thirst If water
is not at hand they suffer more from
thirst than for want of salt were it
withheld. From this great thirst
they will drink from any stag
nant pool much more water
than they need, taking into
their stomachs great numbers of dis
ease-breeding germs. While salt may
stop indigestion when taken in prop
er quantities, 1t is poisonous when ia.
ken too freely.
There used to be under my sheep
barn box with a lid so arranged that
stock would lift 1t and get salt and
then the lid would drop down again,
keeping out all dirt and trash. This
lids dropping down could be heard
frequently day and night, showing
how often the box was visited. A hard
beaten path led from the salt box to
the watering place, about eight rods
away.
1t occurred to me that there was
no use of all this; the sheep were
both eating too much salt and drink
ing too much water. l noticed also
that they had bowel trouble. Since
removing the cause of this great
thirst my flock do not take more than
one-half the water, are quite free
from bowel troubles, and are as con
tented as before. do not advocate
feeding no salt at all, but give much
less than is used by many.

WALK OF THE HORSE.
Great Difference In the Gait Of, Even
of Same Breed.

There is much difference in differ.
ent individual horses of the same and
every breed in the matter of walking,
some having quicker steps and a
longer stride, which means the cover.
ing of greater distance in less time. ]
have found that there are slow,
medium and fast walkers in every
breed, says writer in Farmers Re
view. AS in running, pacing and
trotting the walk can be made faster
by proper handling in nearly all cases
but some animals improve more than
others. 1t would be impossible to
make a good fast walker out oi
a horse whose step was very short.
have noticed no difference in speed at
the walk in the light breeds of horses
and others that were fast walkers
The action in walk, as In trot or other
gaits, is largely inherited. 1 have
owned many horses that came from
the same family, running first, second
third and fourth generation, almost
all of them having the same kind oi
action, both in walk, trot and the sad
die gaits. l am, however, unable tc
say all were good at fiat-foot walk
but many of them were, and it is my
opinion that while l think the good
walk is largely inherited, 1t can be
much improved by good rider OF
driver. l do not think the feed given
a horse can affect his walk. OF course
a horse in good condition feels well
and will travel faster than one moi
well fed. but this is as far as feed
would enter into the question.

So long as the pen of the hog is dry

should be cleaned out often. 1t is
