 See what it did in the long ''Floro- dora" Cotton at the test at Pine BlaH, Ark. and this too when the machine had just gone through a wreck! Since then it has been given other strenuous tests, in the low, small cotton of Arkansas and in Louisiana.
 It has stood every teSt. Different styles and types of machines will be built to meet every demand, all based on the Thurman system prtn- ciples. ranging from $1,50o up in price, and to do the work of 14 to 36 men.
 In this advertisement arc repro dueed e number of newspaper com ments, in every case unbiased Opin- ions of people who have viewed the machine in it's operation. In the prospectus, which can be obtained by writing me, are reproduced a num- ber of letters. one from the Cover nor of 6 leading cotton-growing State, and others from cotton grow CTS interested in cotton production.

HUSBANDS

Husbands are largely manufactured
out of the raw material grown OF
farms and outlying districts. There
are some few city varieties, but they
are poor in quality. The farm output
Is usually taken to the city early in
life, and fed on rum, tobacco and bust
ness until he becomes fat enough to
kill for the matrimonial market. He
Is then led out to the slaughter and
used thereafter as a basis for MILL
merry and dress goods.
Husbands form one of our chief as
sets. They are patient, docile under
treatment, become Injured early in life
to hard labor, and are useful at dinner
parties and political gatherings.
The American variety differs from
the foreign breeds in many important
particulars. He is more easily domes-
ticated and stands any amount Of
abuse without complaint. There are
several instances on record where
husbands have slept night after night
in pajamas, made by their wives and
starched under their personal supervi.
sion, without murmuring. They have
even been known, in rare instances,
to attend church regularly.
There are several kinds of hus-
bands The early morning variety is
very companionable, but short-lived.
In some households the silent husband
is the main feature, acquiring this
great gift by long practice. The liter
airy husband, as rule, is thin and
poor and has his fur rubbed off in
spots and lays his ears well back. The
Salt Lake husband has a large, open
heart, is liberal in his views, and
many-sided. He is, in fact, all things
to all women.
The best husbands are caught young
when their spirits can be easily bro

THE FARM NEEDS SHEEP.
They Are Great Renovators of the
SoiI-Try a Few.

farmer who has long been keep.
ing sheep and has observed their hab-
its of feeding says:
Sheep are oftentimes spoken Of as
a nuisance by some people, but wise
land owners give them credit as be-.
ing great renovators of rundown or
WORKOUT farms, and even call them
fertility conservers.
They are the latter and more, too
The life and habits Of sheep make
them not only conservers of fer
tility, but distributors of it where
most needed. IL given an opportunity
Though sheep are averse to water
and always seek an elevation for
their resting place, they do like the
succulent growth, even through it be
weeds, found in the lowland of field
or pasture which has been enriched
by washings from the higher sur
rounding land.
These two peculiarities Of sheep
once came under very particular OBJ
servation. When turned some sheep
into clover field they at once sought
out the spots where the clover did
not catch and eagerly devoured any
weeds or pigeon grass that had taken
possession Of the spaces. They then
sought the weeds and succulent grass
in the low places and runs in the
fields, leaving the clover on the high
land, where most needed to enrich
the soil, untouched, only touching this
grass when practically everything
else had been eaten.
More than this, when night came
the sheep sought the higher portions
of the field for their resting place and
their droppings there deposited the
fertility gathered during the day from
the lower land, thus conveying back
what had been washed away through
the process Of nature and cultivation.
A farm upon which sheep are kept
ought to be not only fertile, but also
evenly fertile, which is a much de-
sired condition. Farms are very few
which cannot with profit keep sheep"

Keep Horse Collar Clean.

BY allowing dirt and hair to collect
under the collar and remain there
from one day to another, sore shout

collars will produce the same results.
Use none other than a perfect fitting

SPEED OF DRAFT HORSES.
While Not a Good Road Horse He
Should Be a Good Traveller.

1t is generally said that the draft
horse is not meant for speed, that he
is meant merely to pull great loads.
But the farmers of this country long
ago decided that the draft horse must
have a good ability to get over the
ground. In this, draft horses of the
same breed differ greatly.
In the breeding of draft horses, this
quality is being looked after some,
but it is mainly when the breeder ex.
poets to use the horses produced. For
sale purposes little attention has yet
been paid to the speed of the draft
horse.
The speed Of walking is more impor-
tant with the draft horse than the
speed of running. for most of the real
service by the draft horse is rem.
dered at walk. The fast walking
draft horse Is In demand.

Gored Skirts.

Gored skirts are strictly in favor this
season and gradually gain the day over
the plated, although there is q va
riety Of plated skirts being worn.
There is the triple plat at each gore,
the shallow plat all around the waist
and the box plat for the boTdered
goods.
Just now the plain gored skirt seems
bare and untrimmed to the unedu-
Gated eye; nevertheless, there is a
constant demand for trimming bands,
tucks in the bottom and buttons to
reconcile one to the plain gored skirt.
There are new white flannels that
every woman will like. They come in
hair lines of black, blue, brown and
Roman stripes. For odd skirts these
are made circular or gored with wide

WASH THE CALF PAIL
Health Of Young Animals Demands
g Strict Cleanliness.

A New York dairyman recently
wrote to an eastern farm paper: "A
feed pail that is not licked clean will
get sour and germs will give the calf
the bellyache." He does not say he
depends upon the calf to wash its own
pail, but that is the inference. This
is dangerous procedure. Raising
healthy calves by hand demands
absolute cleanliness. A calf can
not lick pail clean enough to be
germ proof. The pail should be
washed daily in soapy water, especial
attention being given to the seams;
scalded with boiling water and turned
right side up In the sun to dry and air.
Moreover, calf should never be al
lowed to lick its pail nor drink milk
from the open bucket In the usual
greedy fashion. Initiate nature as
closely as possible. Provide calf
feeder whereby the youngster draws
Its food through an imitation teat at.
tached to pail set on shelf about
two feet from the ground.
Neither calf nor human should ever
drink milk rapidly or in large gulps,
says the Farmers Voice. A swallow
OF milk on reaching the stomach is
curdled by the peptic fer
ment into a ball. If these cheesy
chunks are small they are digested
with ease and safety. Milk swallowed
rapidly in large quantities curdles into
one large mass, the digestive juices at
tack it with difficulty, the stomach
works overtime to get it into shape for
assimilation and often goes on a strike
when the innocent bystander"-the
hurt. All the annoyance
of teaching calf to drink from a pail
with her head down and all the bother
OF fooling with hungry, butting, OBJ
streperous young heifers is avoided by
setting the feeding pail on a shelf on
this side the fence, while the calf i'm
bibes its nourishment from the other
side through tube feeder run through
a hole in the fence. This is the most
foster mother. If these
rules are followed calves will not have
scours. If you are aiming high 1t pays
to take pains.

THE LIVESTOCK.

1t Is a good plan to have the horses
and cows clean up their managers after
each feed.
When lice get foothold spray the
hogs; also spray the pens and burn
all the rubbish.
Sheep manure as fertilizer Is
three times more valuable than that
dropped by cows.
There is such thing as overfeed-
ing. Feed stock all the food they will
assimilate, but no more.
Never break colt by slow walk
er because he will fall into the same
habit; and habits, once formed, are
hard to break.
Horses do not need medicine unless
they are actually sick. Good care and
good feed with proper exercise is what
they require most of all else.

CANDY FOR THE CHILDREN.

CATTLE KILLING DEVICE,

Consul Maxwell Blake reports that
in spite Of much initial opposition on
the part of Scotch cattle killers of the
poleax style, new device is being in
troduced in the Dunfermline slaugh-
ter house as human substitute for
the old style Of killing. The consul
describes the new instrument as fol-
lows:
The weapon is about a foot In
length. The barrel is rifled and the
muzzle shaped like the mouth of a
bell and angled in order to adapt It
self to the slope of a bullock's head.
By unscrewing the opposite end from
the muzzle the cartridge may be in
serted. The breech piece having been
readjusted, there is a steel guard pro-
tecting the hammer, which sets off the
bullet. This guard is not displaced
until the weapon is about to be used

Alcohol and Water Bath.

In case Of exhaustion alcohol added
to the bath is great invigorator. The
most economical way OF using it is to
have basin of rinsing water, and into
this put tablespoonful OF the spirits
to quart OF cool water. The body Is
well sponged in this, letting the water
go over freely. After such a bath
fresh underclothes must be put on II
one is dressing again.
No part OF the body feels heat more
than the head. and to prevent the hair
from being injured the scalp must BID
given as much ventilation as may be
throughout the night. No matter how
thin the hair may be, 1t should be di.
vided by part from forehead to neck
and two braids made, each just back
OF each ear. This draws the hair away
from that part of the head that is most
heated during the day and refreshes It.

The Brood Mare.

Many farmers still cling to the idea
that it is proper to work a brood
mare until she shows indications Of
old age and then use her as a breed
err. The results often prove disas-
trous. In the first place, mare which
has not produced colt until well up
in years is not so likely to become a
safe and sure breeder as If she had
been bred when young. 1t has also
been noticed that the foals from such
are liable to be small and poorly de-
veloped, and they will not suckle their
young so WELL oftentimes the supply

The oftener we clean out the hem
house the better. Sawdust, If dry, is

Experiments have shown ehat the
average hen will eat four ounces of
mash in the morning, two ounces of
grain at noon and four ounces of grain
at night
The drones of the barnyard, the
hens that do not lay, eat just as much
as those that do. Sell them. 1t is
