Pumpkins for Cows.

Dairymen hold different opinions as
to the value of pumpkins for cows and
as a rule the great field fruit of the
East is not very much grown in the ir-
rigatcd regions. Some claim that they
are a positive injury. 1t is certain,
however, that if fed to cows at all they
should be given in conjunction with
concentrated feed and necessarily in
limited quantities. When fed thus the
pumpkin is valuable as fall feed for
cows 1t has one distinguishing feature
as a stock food, which nothing else pos
sesses and this is it is a splendid ver-
mifuge. Stock Of all kinds like pump
kins and will leave good bite of alfal-

Snake-Bites.

AS Is well known, not all snakes
bite, and not all that do bite are poi
sonous, but 1t is not always easy to
distinguish between the harmless and
the poisonous reptiles by their looks.
Appearances, in the snake world, as
well as elsewhere, are often deceitful.
and 1t is not safe to assume that
strange snake is harmless because he
looks like one that is known to be non
poisonous. One had better, therefore,
his exact status in ophidian society Is
not known.
In this country the principal poison
GUS snakes are the rattlers, the mOcca-
sins and the copperheads. Snake ven
ON belongs to large group of organic
chemical compounds called proteins.
The poisonous effects are usually both
local and general. The local effect is
severe inflammation with hemor
rhage, often ending in gangrene. The
systemic effects are marked by convul-
death occurring usually through paral-
ysis of the nerve-centers which con-
troll respiration. Sometimes it Is due
to thrombosis, or the formation Of
blood-clots in the heart and large ar
teries.
In the treatment Of snake-blte, the
first object Is to prevent the absorption
of the venom by tying cord or rub
ber band as tightly as possible round
the limb, between the bite and the
heart. Then an effort must be made
to get rid of the poison in the wound
by cutting 1t freely. so as to promote
bleeding, and sucking out the venom.
Thirdly, an endeavOr must be made to
destroy what remains in the tissues.
This Is difficult of accomplishment, but
the best remedy is probably l per
cent. solution of permanganate of pot
assium, applied freely to the wound
and injected with a hypodermic syr-
lnge into the tissues in the neighbor-
hood of the bite. A solution of hypO-
chlorlte of lime, one grain to the dram,
used in the same way, is also recon-
mended.
Prospectors, hunters and others who
are in danger of meeting snakes In
their tramps, often wisely provide
themselves with piece of rubber tub
ing about one-third of an inch in diam
eter, some permanganate Of potassium
and bottle Of distilled water,-in or
der to make a solution quickly,-a by.
dermic syringe, and some aromatic
spirit Of ammonia as "A stimulant

now the fowls are entirely dependent

Always remove the chill from the wa
ter and let 1t be pure. Do not allow it
to remain in the dishes over night and
freeze. Freezing water does not mean
pure water, even though some germs
are killed by freezing. Exercise the
same care regarding cleanliness, which
was the rule during the summer, and
the fowls will not only drink with
greater relish but you will likewise eat
their products with similar apprecia
ton.

Experiments with Stable Manure

Experiments with Stable Manure.
At the Maryland agricultural sta
lion two sets of experiments with sta
Die manure-one covering three years
and the other seven years-have been
conducted.
The results as a rule favored the
use OF fresh manure applied directly
from the stable as against rotten ma
nure. The best results were obtained
hy applying the manure as long In ad-
vance of the time the crop was to use
1t as possible. As between applying
fresh and rotted manure before and
after plowing, the results favored ap-
plying fresh manure as 4 top dressing
after plowing. In comparison of
blowing under manure in the fall and
spring, the differences were slight. but
uniformly In favor of allowing the
manure to remain on the land during
the winter and blowing it down in the
spring. SubsOiling in addition to deep
plowing did not show sufficient advan-
tage to warrant the extra expense in
yOlved. The use of kalnit with the
manure seemed to exert beneficial
influence every year, and it was more
marked In dry than wet seasons. The
growth of crimson clover was better
on soils receiving fresh manure than
on those treated with rotted manure.

Lame Back Prescription.

The increased use of whiskey for
lame back rheumatism is causing con-
siderable discussion among the medical
fraternity. 1t is an almost infallible
cure when mixed with certain other in
gradients and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is effective: "To one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one ounce
Syrup Sarsaparilla Compound. Take
in tablespoonful doses before each meal
and before retiring"
Toris compound is product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharmaceuti-
cal Co., Chicago, but it as we'll as the
other ingredients can be had from any
good druggist.
