WHISKEY FOR RHEUMATISM.

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre-
dents and taken properly The follow
ing formula is most effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one ounce
Of TOris Root compound and one ounce
of Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring" Toris Root Com
pound is a product of the laboratories
of the Globe Pharmaceutical Co, Day
ton, Q. Many prominent druggists
state they fill this prescription often
and have seen its good results.

Roots for Farm Animals.

If roots are stored in a pit in the
field a high, dry place should be
chosen. If the ground is clayey the
roots should be placed on top of the
ground. If it is gravelly and drainage
is good q shallow pit about feet wide
and of necessary length may be shov-
eled out. The roots should be carefully
placed in q gable shaped pile about )
feet wide and as long as convenient \
thin layer of straw should then be
laid over the pile and this covered with
six or eight inches Of earth Another
and thicker layer of straw and a final
layer Of earth will complete the work.
Ventilators should be placed at inter-
walls of ten or fifteen feet, which should
be closed when sweating has ceased.
The pit should not be opened on warm
days in winter. A ditch for drainage
should be cut around the pit. Roots
stored in this way do not keep as we'll
as when stored in good cellar; there
fore, they should be fed out as early as
possible-New York Cornell Expert

Do not have the sheep pens too
warm. The natural coat of the sheen

If the members Of the poultry flock
which seldom or never lay could be
weeded out, the feed bills would be
less and the egg profits more.
Better concentrate your efforts on a

the land all it can give you than to
spread out your energies over a big
acreage and get only an average yield.

There Is more Catarrh IN this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incura bic. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Flax in the Northwest

The secord factor making for the
new prosperity may be termed the dis
covery of flax" For years there had
been few scattering fax fields. but
it was only in the middle COS that the
Northwestern pioneer awoke to the dis
covery that linseed oil was of more
truly golden hue, not only than the
wheat field, but than any gold-bear-
ing quartz California ever saw. And
SO the endless golden yellow of the
fields in August and the tinkling bells
in September or the fax field.
Those who have never heard the
ringing of the fax bells have missed a
truly wonderful sensat ton. The round
seed pods, smaller than peas, which
contain the seed, give a faint metallic
sound which as one drives or walks
through field, setting thousands in
motion. seems like myriads Of infinitesi-
NAL bells tinkling so family as tc be
all but inaudible. Nor is the mere

equipped with a sash that may be
closed in severe weather.
Many farms where sheep are kept
are equipped with barn cellar in
which the flock has been kept with
varying success. The barn cellar is
an excellent place for sheep if rightly
arranged. There should be plenty of
openings to the south, allowing sun to
reach all parts of the stable so as to
keep it thoroughly dry. Thorough
drainage is essential.
There must be ventilation at the
rear of the stable. A bad practice is to
keep the sheep in stables on stable
manure, says Farm and Home The
fermenting manure destroys the color
and texture of wool A hint which has
been worth many dollars to me is to
use only long straw, hay or weeds for
bedding sheep. If short straw or saw
dust is used it gets into the fleece and
is an everlasting nuisance.

Good Sheep Barn u Poor One.

A good sheep barn is a poor one
This may seem to be absurd, but the
facts support such a statement There
IS no question but that many fiocks are
rendered unhealthy and therefore less
productive by reason Of too close
housing. In few sections do sheep need
more than a windbreak and rain shed
Some Of our best shepherds have kept
their f1Ocks for decades with only such
sheds as would prevent the flock being
exposed to direct winds, rain and snow
storms.

results Of a cold rain on the flow of
milk of the station herd. The cows
were exposed for three days to a cold
rain. During this time the herd de-

continued until it reached 80 per cent.
and it was a month until the COWS gave
as much milk as before the storm.
