STOCK NOTES.

On some farms where the hogs are
well taken care of hog diseases are
unknown.
Corn should not be fed in large guam
titles to brood sows in summer, as it
is too heating.
Raw wheat flour mixed with milk
and the yolk of one egg will often
check scours.
The main thing in handling flock
of breeding ewes during the pregnant
season is that they have plenty of
fresh air and exercise, with the proper
kinds of feed.
Boiled skim min. thickened with a
cup of flaxseed to each gallon. to
which is added one-half pound brown
sugar and a little salt. Is fine for
raising pigs by hand when fresh whole
milk is not available.

DIPPING SHEEP.
II Should Be Done at shearine Time
and Shortly Afterward.

All sheep are troubled with external
parasites unless thoroughly dipped at
shearing time and again shortly after
wards. Besides ticks sheep are often
seriously injured with lice. On &C.
count of the wool and the small size
of the lice it is almost impossible to
see them. Many sheep are worried to
death with lice when the owner has
not the slightest idea of what the
trouble is.
1t is easy to dip sheep and it is per-
fectly safe in the summer time, says
the Farm Press. If they are thorough
ly cleansed in warm weather they are
not likely to become badly infected
during the winter unless they are per.
mitted to run with other sheep that
have not been treated.
Very often showing sheep at the
fairs will lead to trouble unless the
exhibition stock is very carefully
guarded and taken care of before mix
ing again with the home flock There
are SO many advantages from dipping
that every farmer should build tank,
q small, cheap affair for few sheep,
and larger and more convenient ar
rangement for larger flock.

Smooth the sides of the mound with

CEMENT FLOORS.
They Provide the Ideal Condition for
the Hoghouse.

Cement is regarded by many as a
good floor for hoghouses, but many OBJ
ject to it on account Of its being cold
and damp, especially too cold for
young pigs. 1t makes floor that is
easily cleaned and one that is more
nearly sanitary than any other floor. If
it is to be used as narrowing house
q false floor OF plank would be an ad
vantage, and 1t is quite likely no bad
results would be experienced If enough
bedding were used to keep the pigs
from coming into immediate contact
with the cold floor. Many of the more
recent hoghouses that are being built
have covering of fine woven wire
placed over the floor, stretched tight
and fastened down, and this is covered
with Two or three inches of fine gravel.
Dirt floors are usually preferable to
cement or plank, but there is great diff
ficulty with the hogs roofing them up.
BY stretching this wire over the floor
and covering it with little gravel it
prevents rotting and those who have
used it report good satisfaction.

always pick out a good dispositioned
horse by the looks of his head, ears
and face, but you can't judge woman
in the same way. There are more
complications and the subject is gen
orally more difficult. Some men get
badly taken in in horse trade, but
that is their own fault. They should
know better than to trade horses The
only proper thing for farmer to do.
declares the Farm Press, is to raise
colts until he gets more horses on the
farm than he needs. then sell off the
mean, cranky ones and just keep the
best. II anyone is entitled to good
horse or a good wife it is straight
forward, honest, Woodworking farmer.
A farmer should only sell the best ap-
pies and feed the culls or make them
into cider, but that rule won't apply to
horses or women.

THE YOUNG CALF.
Give Her the Right Treatment to
Make Her a Good Cow.

Too much attention and considera-
The early care which is given the calf
has much to do with its future ability
as dairy animal. An Inflated and Ill.
cared for calf seldom develops into q
good dairy animal, no matter how well
1t Is bred.
The best developed cows come from
calves that have been given good care
and feed from the beginning OF their
lives. prefer to have my calves
kept in warm, clean, well-lighted and
ventilated quarters and given good
care they can be turned out into the
pasture the following summer and
make good growth. But If the calf Is
born in the spring, 1t is over year
old before 1t is safe to turn 1t out to
pasture. 1t is the practice Of some
persons to put calves that are born in
the spring into an open paddock or
but this I consider poor way to do.
The calf at this early age eats but
little and Is almost harassed to death
by the flies.
II the calf is born in the fall. says
the Farmers Voice, it makes splendid
growth during the winter, provided it
is given the proper treatment, and in
tho spring 1t is able to make good use
of the grass, and the flies have less eff
feet upon 1t. When flies are very thick
and troublesome, even calves that are
year old are better of in barn with
windows darkened than they are in
open pasture. Provided, however. they
are given plenty of good feed.
Fall calves that are strong and
vigorous do very well in shaded pas
ture and make less care for the
owners.
When there is a good supply of
grass and shade, about all that is
needed to keep them growing well is
plenty of pure water and salt. But II
the pasture is short, some grain and
hay should be given daily. and. II
there is no shade, shed should be
erected to protect them from the hot
sun and driving storms. Every ad
vantage that can be given the calf at
this early age makes for development
of strong and vigorous animal. And
one that is capable of producing .
profit.

TREATMENT FOR BLoAr.
How to Proceed in Relieving AFFLICTED
Animal.

In case Of a slight attack of bloat
as a result Of eating clover, alfalfa or
some other green feeds to excess, the
animal may sometimes be walked and
exercised and will get all right. A
more direct remedy is to drench with
about one quart of raw linseed oil for
a COW and smaller quantity for sheep
and calves.
If these treatments prove ineffec-
tive, says the Farm and Home, then
tapping by the use of the trocar is
necessary. If the animal is in great
distress and aid must be given at
once, take a sharp penknife and thrust
1t through the skin into the paunch
at a point midway between the hip
bone and the last rib and about four
inches down on the left side from the
backbone. In the opening thus made
insert goose quill, which will allow
the gas to escape.
AS soon as the animal is relieved
give two ounces Of turpentine in one
pint of milk and repeat in two or three
hours If necessary. Sometimes bad
cases can be relieved by forcing the
head Of the animal up and back, which
will allow the gas to escape through
the gullet.

TO MAKE GOOD ANGEL CAKE.
Important That the Whites Of Eggs
Be in Proper Shape.

Mix seven ounces of fine winter
hour. one ounce of cornstarch, three
quarters Of pound of powdered sugar
and one heaping teaspoon of cream Of
tartar, together. and then sift them
five times. Take IL pint of the
whites of eggs and beat them until
stiff and smooth as possible. Your
cake will be tough and leathery unless
the whites are sufficiently firm to
bear an egg. and the texture very firm
and fine grained. Now stir in the
sifted materials as lightly and quick
ly as possible, using for the purpose
q wire spoon or egg beaten. Bake in
an INCREASED Turks head, or, better
still, a Van Dusen cake mold in a mod
crate oven for IS or 40 minutes
When done, take it from the oven,
turn the bottom up allowing the pan
to rest on the table to COOL When
the cake is cold pass timber knife
around the sides. shake lightly and the
cake will drop out. Ice 1t with
vanilla, orange or almond soft icing

Strawberry sarabande.

Whip a cupful thick cream until
very stiff. then fold carefully into it
a pint fresh berries cut in small pieces
with a silver knife. Have ready a
tablespoonful gelatin soaked in a
quarter cup cold water for half an
hour, then dissolved by setting the
cup containing 1t in hot water. Add by
degrees b the berries and cream
whipping It in so that it will not
string. Add three poonfuls pow
dered sugar and when 1t stiffens turn
into . cold mold and set on the ice
When ready to serve turn out onto a
pretty dessert platter.

Sand BAD for slckroom.

One of the most convenient articles
to be used in a sickroom is a sand bag.
Get some clean. fine sand; dry it
thoroughly in a pan on the stove.
Make bag about eight inches square
Of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew
the opening carefully together and
cover the bag with cotton or linen.
This will prevent the sand from sift-
ing out, and will also enable you to
heat the bag quickly by placing it in
the oven or even on the top Of the
stove. After once using this you will
never attempt to warm the feet or
hands of a sick person with bottle
of hot water or a brick. The sand
holds the heat long time, and the
bag can be tucked up to the back with
out hurting the invalid. It is good
plan to make two or three of the bags
and keep them on hand, ready for use
at any time when needed.

Sulcjdea in Natal,

The abnormal suicide wave which
is passing over this country has been
made the subject OF very serious
thought, and it is we'll that 1t should
be so. in Natal within the past four
weeks there have been three suicides
OF Europeans, which. on the basis OF
population, is four times greater than
the suicide rate in England and Wales,
a deplorable state of affairs indeed.
In Durham a few weeks ago it was
stated that suicides were taking place
at the rate OF one a day.-Natal Wit

His Appreciation.

When Patrick McGinnagan became

burst In upon him while he was at

handsome night stick in honor Of his

nevertheless struggled to his feet and
stammered his appreciation.

Art In Ice Cream MoIds.

It is almost an art now to design
molds for ice cream. Often the Gus
toners of the large shops suggest
what forms they wish the cream or
ice for a certain occasion to assume.
and the caterer arranges to have the
idea carried out. In this way many
odd molds are acquired. Flowers and
fruit are always a favorite. One may
have roses to match the color scheme
of the table decorations. There are
also tiny automobiles, Teddy bears"
and dolls.
