the effect of the poison on the sys-

MANAGEMENT OF DAIRY BULL
Practise Of Allowing Animal to Run
With Herd Has Serious Draw
blackstone Method.

On the majority OF farms 1t is Gus
tomary TO allow the bull to run with
the herd This practise is open to
bull running with the herd is IN
safe from the standpoint of human
life. No bull is absolutely safe. be
he ever so gentle. In fact. It is the
gentle" bull that usually kills, be-
cause fewer precautions are taken
with animals of this kind than with
those that show an ugly disposition.
writes John Michels. in Homestead
Then there is the annoyance and
worry, especially for children and
women. 10 have a bull run about.
Hired men also complain about get
ting up the COWS when there is bull
with them and who knows how many
have quit their job because OF the
bull.
A very vital objection to running
the bull with the cows Is that 1t i'm
pairs the usefulness of the bull, due
to excessive service. One service is
sufficient and this can be had only
when the bull is kept away from the
cows. Again. it is difficult to tell
when cows have conceived, which
makes 1t impossible to know when the
cows are due to calye, a matter Of no
small Importance.
A further serious objection to run
ming bull with the herd is that many
a valuable bull is disposed of to the
butcher because he has become I'M
manageable with the herd. Most bulls
are sold to the butcher before they
have had a chance to demonstrate
their value.
The question now, arises. II the bull
is not to run with the herd, how is
he TO be managed? There are sew
eral ways of doing this. but wish to
give here only one Of them, one which
have used for a number of years and

Journalism students Maintain Clubs.

Journalism students at the Univer-

mems organizations.
The Woman's Press club is an or

practical newspaper work before com

maintain an honorary journalistic
sorority To which only members OF
the junior and senior class belong.
Freshmen and sophomore men have
an organization known as the Cubs

II not pave the floor and also the bot.
tom and edges of the stream closely
with large fiat stones Put boards
over the sione floor to walk and stand
on.
Construct drain pipe to carry the
water for some distance after Il leaves
the interior of the house so the an.
nroach will not be damp. Have no
board foundations that vii, rot or

house must be clean and sweet. Have

There is no difference between a
bone that has been fractured and one
hat has been broken, although the
term fracture is sometimes used when
the bone has been only cracked or
split and not broken entirely apart
Fractures are usually caused by
some external force as a blow with a
club or fall. but sometimes, espe-
cially In elderly people. sudden mus
cular movement may cause, the bone
10 break.
A bone may be broken anywhere
throughout its length or 1t may have
Just little corner broken of one Of
Its ends. The longer bones Of the ex-
remities are of course more often
fractured than the shorter and Irregu-
lar bones.
Fractures often accompany sprains
and eislocations and It is important
that such injuries should be seen by
physician so as to learn whether or
not a fracture also exists, as the prop
er treatment of the case depends upon
this knowledge
Dangers.
Some of the dangers OF fractured
bones are the injuries to the surround
Ing structures, as rupture Of blood yes
sells. tearing Of nerves, and puncture
Of organs. as of the lung in frac-
lures of the ribs. In fractures of the
skull the bleeding, although often
slight, may be within the skull and
cause death by pressing upon some
vital part OF the brain. The infection
following compound fractures may re-
suit in a general blood poisoning and
death.
AS bone that has been fractured
Is weaker than normal for a number
Of months, even after the six to eight
weeks usually considered necessary
for Its healing. che part should be used
carefully in order to prevent a second
fracture.
The Diagnosis.
The diagnosis of fracture is some.
times very easy, as when long bone
is broken near its middle and the limb
bends at that point. When a long
bone is broken near its end or when a
small irregular bone is broken. It is
sometimes very difEcult without the
assistance of an X-ray photograph to
tell whether or not the bone is frac-
tured. Some OF the other symptoms
which help to diagnose broken bone
are pain which Is rather acute and be.
comes very sharp on any attempt at
movement This pain Is little differ.
ent from the more duh ache of dis
location. When the ends of broken
bone rub against each other there is a
peculiar grating sensation that can be
felt and sometimes heard. This is
called bony crepitus. The broken frag-
ments should not be moved back and
forth in attempting to bring out this

Best for the Mnk Maker.

Whenever a cow has been so bred
as to prodrce milk continuously when
fairly well fed it is better for the COW
10 feed her well and continue TO milk
her up to the time Of calving. But ii
must be remembered that such COWS
are phenomenal and do not represent
the common run of good (not badl
dairy COWS. Hence. as a rule. It is
better TO allow the average COW six
weeks rest between the milking pc
Rod and the freshening.

PRACTICAL SCALE FOR BARN
Problem OF Weighing Cows MIX is

In these days of COW testing, the
problem of practical and withal re-

scales so very handy are, as we all
know, not reliable In the long run,

Dear Sir-As promised, l shall be
with you on January 25, 1910, to assist
you in organizing your 1910 Boys
Corn Club. think it is well to ad-
vertise the meeting in your parish,
papers in order to get all the boys and
farmers you can at the meeting. IL
you hold an institute before the meet
ing, would also advise that you take
the matter up vigorously with your
teachers, and get them to interest the
boys. Let us try to have big mem,
bership in your parish. Another good
idea is to get your local agent In the
Farmers Cooperative Demonstration
Work interested in the movement, SO
he may talk it up.
If you can, let me know how many
members you expect, so that l may
have the seed ready for distribution
at the meeting. The best seed to use,
in nv opinion, is ShaW's Improved.
Unless you have reasons to be OF a
different opinion, we will use this
variety. The ear is large. snowy!
fairly hard, and the corn is goeoe
yielder. If you prefer some othel
variety, I shall do all | can to nell
get your supply. AS stated at the
Marksville meeting, we can not pay
for the seed this year, but will bea
all expense of delivering it at the ship
ping point free. The cost will b'
about 25c per boy for one gallon
