Ashes for Swine.

Professor Henry says that hogs in a state of nature, roofing for feed, get what they need, but when con- fined in small lots, in pens, on floors, conditions are unnatural, and mineral clements must be supplied. It is thought, also, that ashes and charcoal act as a vermifuge and preventive of disease. Intestinal worms may pro- duce the craving for something that will destroy them. Soft coal is not the best
 Ashes and charcoal, with salt, seem to produce best results. Bonemeal is excellent. Ashes are particularly val uable when feeding corn. A mixture of charcoal and ashes, with a quart of salt to the bushel is good Keep it where the hogs have free access. They will not eat too much. This is said 10 prevent sows from eating their pigs, to great extent. If bonemeal is ad- ded, it will be still better

Alfalfa as Pasturaqe,

As 10 the amount Of pasturage or the number of hogs alfalfa will carry per acre without injury to the crop, lhe estimates given by farmers vary considerably, depending on the kind of soil the fertility of the land, and the size of the hogs pastured The fol lowing, however, is a safe average estimate as given by conservative men who have had much experience. River valley and creek bottom land well set in alfalfa will carry from 15 to 20 head per acre of 50 to 125 pound hogs. Upland of fair average fertility will support from to 10 head of the same kind of hogs. There are fields that nave supported 25 head per acre all through the season for a number of years, and are still in good condition, and there are other fields that will not furnish pasture for more than 5 head per acre; but these are extremes. When field is used only for pasture It is better to divide it into several lots and move the hogs from one to lhe other as occasion requires. The amount of pasture furnished by rye is about three-fourths that furnished by alfalfa, its carrying capacity being estimated at 6 to F hogs per acre. One man reports having pastured 50 mead of hogs on acres during fall, winter and spring, then harvesting 20 bushels of grain per acre In the southern part of this region rye would De an excellent cover crop for the soil during the winter. Besides fur hlshing pasture, it could be turned under as a green manure to add bu- mus to the soil-Farmer' Bulletin 331

HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA.
Itching, Inflammation and Soreness All Treatments Failed.
cuticura Proved Great Success

Eczema began over the top of my ear. It cracked and then began to spread. I had three different doctors and tried several things, but they did me no good. At last one side of my face and my neck were raw. The water ran out of it so that I had to wear medicated cotton, and it was so inflamed and sore that I had to put a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep the water from it, and it would stain the cloth sort of yellow. The ec- zemaitched so that it seemed as though I could tear my face all to pieces. Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and it was not more than three months before it was all healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North field, Vt, Dec. 19, 1907.'

Don't Forget the Salt.

Common sense and many expert ments teach that the proper wsg to salt cattle is to provide it in sufficient quantity and make it accessible to them at all times Salt should be placed at least in two different points where the cattle run and they should be allowed to get it whenever they want it. An animal will eat not more than is absolutely necessary in this way While. if salt is given at infre- ouent intervals, cattle, and particular iy fattening steers, are apt to eat much more than is good for them. Salt is an important factor in prepar- ing cattle for market and the same care should be given to it's use as to feeding

Haul Out the Manure

If manure is not hauled out and spread as fast as made the plan of keeping it tramped under foot in the stalls is the best way, for it loses far less in that way than if loosened up and thrown out in piles. And piles under cover l think it worse than out side, as it will fire-fang worse kept dry. But do not be afraid to haul out manure as fast as made and spread it. It loses less spread on the land than in any other way.-W. F. Massey.
