Chute for Breeding Range Mares.

strong and have openings at the right
height for man to use the impreg-
nator through when they are swung
in behind the mares.
AS the mares are tried in the 60-foot
corral, those found to be in season
are cut into the small corral, two at a
time. These two are run into the Is
foot chutes and the bars put in behind
them at the end. Then they are backed
down against these bars and the other
bars put in directly in front of them
to hold them fast. The jack is then
led in and allowed to serve one. Then
the gates are swung up close to the
mares to protect the operator while
the second is impregnated from the
first.
In my opinion the solution of the
small wild common mare is found by
this method. l would breed her to the
largest jack to be found and then the
produce will be a useful salable ami
NAL and there will be no more COM
mon horses raised from that stock.
We have handled and bred range
mares for % years and | consider this
chute one of the best improvements
in methods we have made.

CARING FOR lNvALlD's HAIR
Some Things That Nurse or Friend
of Patient Should Be Sure to
Keep in Mind.

Long hair should be divided into

beneficial to the hair and to tempera.
ture
When a patient likes to have her
head rubbed, if bit of vaseline is put
on tips of fingers it will keep the hair
from getting dry and brittle. This
must be carefully done if bed linen
is not to suffer.
Where hair has matted in illness,
do not attack it with a comb or pull
it apart. Thread with the fingers, be-
ginning at the ends of hair and work
ing up Shake the hair often.

EASY ADJUSTMENT OF FRILLs
Device That Goes Far Toward Ma
king Life Easier is Described
Below.

Among the latest ideas for making
life easier are friIls ready to be ad-
justed, with few minutes work, to
the Undertaking or the flap OF a
blouse or pillow cases.
These frills can be had in various
designs, some of them the material
hemstitched or with lines of drawn
work edged with torchon lace; others
with tiny lines of beading, again fin
ished with embroidery or feather
stitching.
For infants clothes these Fittings
come with tiny edges, and there are
quiet openwork effects on heavy linen
used for pillow slips
The method of adjusting is to buy
them, gathered into featherstitched
band, or one edge of the material has
q loosely woven thread, and all the
worker need do is to draw the thread
to the desired fulness.

LASTING CURE FOR HEAVEs
Some Good Horsemen Declare Dis
ease Cannot Be Eradicated-Trou
Bile Rapidly increasing.

Some good horsemen say heayes
cannot be cured permanently. How
ever, the trouble is constantly and
rapidly increasing. If the case is a
mild one and of recent origin it may
often be cured entirely by turning the
horse out to pasture for two or three
months. If it is necessary, however,
to work horse affected with this
trouble, he can be relieved greatly by
feeding no hay except at night and
then only a very small amount of
clean and bright hay, entirely free
from dust. If there is any danger of
dust it is well to dampen it but only
bright hay should be given. Roots
will be found helpful, beets, turnips,
potatoes, or anything of that sort that
the horse will eat. The amount of wa
ter should be limited as much as pos
sible, and no horse with heaves should
be given WateE-fa two or three hours
previous to going to work. DR.. Law
recommends arsenic in f1ve-grain
doses daily and continued for month
to two months as especially valuable,
and says that the bowels must be
kept easy, by laxat1ves if necessary.
By treatment of this sort a horse with
heaves can be greatly relieved When
the disease first comes on it will pay
to turn the horse to grass, with the
hope of effecting a cure at once and
before the disease progresses to the
extent where it bcomes incurable.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Refill the salt box in the pasture.
Keep the calf growing all the time.
don't let it become stunted.
Set the strawberries in rows four
feet apart and two feet in the row.
When desired to hatch ducklings
early in the season it will be best to
use the incubator.
Remove the brood SOW to a place
where she can be free from noise or
other disturbance.
If the pump bucket leaks take it
to town with you today. The timer
will fix it while you wait
A good dairy COW usually has bright
intelligent looking eyes-just the kind
that the successful man has.
Hellebore sprinkled on the currant
and berry bushes while wet with dew
will destroy the currant worm.
Overcoming, poor ventilation and
improper feelings are the things that
play havoc with brooder chicks.
The special purpose buttermaker is
quite as essential in the creamery as
the special purpose cow in the dairy.
Never use grease or oil of any kind
to kill vermin on sitting hens, as it
will close the pores and ruin the eggs.
A good creamery in a town means
prosperity for the farmers and the
business men. The cow is the cause
of it all, too.
Remove all the trash from along
the fences. There are insects that
will destroy some of your crops in the
dry grass and weeds.
Devote short time with the women
folk figuring out improvements for the
front yard, then spend longer time
putting the plans into execution.
From 5000 to 5000 pineapple plants

FertiIizing Cotton.

The work of the Georgia experiment
station shows plainly that phosphoric
acid is the most important element in
any fertilizer mixture for cotton Next
in Importance is nitrogen and finally
potash. Best results have been Sc
cured when all three of these ele-
ments have been combined in one
fertilizer in the proportion of 3 1-3
parts phosphoric acid, one part nitro
gen and one part potash, or in the pro-
portion of 1000 pounds acid phos-
phate, Is pounds muriate of potash or
800 pounds of kainit and 700 pounds
of cottonseed meal or 105 bushels OF
cotton seed. The ingredients should
be mixed and applied in such a man
ner as to secure from 200 to 400
pounds of the acid phosphate per acre.

We ought to learn wisdom by experience in tenn

day preceded by campaign like the in which
engaged 1t important to the local option
We warned the temperance forces of Illinois that that
day than other the local option contest would
be decided that if the local option did his duty
should prevent the repeal of the township law and gain
county opon that if he neglected to do his duty the
would be true the legislature would be in the hands
of the enemy county option would be impossible and repeal
would be attempted
We said that the great danger would be in the apathy and
overcondence of the temperance people, in their failure to
vote and to get the vote out August 8th
Here is the sequel Local option voters large numbers
failed to vote In the Senatorial district not
than fifty per of the local option vote at the polls
that important day The liquor interests did control the
House of Representatives They did prevent county option
prevented its consideration by smothering the
liquor license committee of the House. They did attempt
repeal the local option law and almost succeeded
Why? Because local option voters staid at home and
did not vote.
