EXCELLENT FOR LITTLE PIGS
Rape Has BIoating Effect on Cattle
and Sheep and They Must Be Grad
uaIly Accustomed to It.
(By ]. H.

10Y d. H. oE1GI EItb.)
Rape is commonly own either
broadcast or In rows 80 inches apart,
and cultivated. like the row system.
When it is sown broadcast alone. it Is
put in at the rate of five pounds Of
rape seed Per acre of the Dwarf Essex
variety; allowed to grow until it is
about IA inches nigh, and then pas
tured down with pigs or sheep as the
grower may desire.
1t is advisable to have two pasture
lots Of it, SO that the stock can be
changed to a fresh one. while the one
which has been fed down until the
stalks are about five inches high and
no leaves remain on them can grow
up again. 1t will take a very short
while for it to throw out new leaves
and be as heavy a growth as it was be-
fore it was pastured down. When 1T
Is sown in drill rows and cultivated,
three pounds Of seed per acre Is suffi-
cient. 1t is cultivated as corn or po-
tato6s would be until it is SO that it
shades the ground completely between
the rows.
Rape will stand a vast amount Of
stable manure, and give a surprising
growth of green feed 1t is excellent
for growing pigs and for brood sows
and their ~litters.
1t is frequently sown in a mixture
with field pens, barley and millet. 1t
is the only one of the list of plants
that will grow after being fed down
and while it makes a rather quick
growth after it Is pastured off the first
time, it springs up and supplies a vast
amount of forage after the other
plants have once been fed off and
given a chance to grow without being
crowded.
tt has a very severe bloating effect
on cattle and sheep and they must
be very gradually accustomed to 1t be-
fore they can be allowed to pasture
On it as long as they would naturally
do. When it is damp with dew or
light rain, it causes bloating to be very
much worse and to come on more
quickly. They a gradually be accus-
toned to it as they are to clover and
alfalfa, so that it will do them no
harm. 1t causes no trouble when feed
ing pigs or horses on 1t.
Frequently horses in lying down
press the foot or the shoe against the
elbow. This, in time, causes inflam-
nation and ends in a tumor or shoe
boil. The diseased condition Is diff
cult to repair, as there is little flesh
Or muscle at the joint Of the elbow,
where the trouble starts.
Treatment consists Of opening the
boil and allowing the fluid to escape.
In Ease the swelling Is hot and painful
an application of lead acetate will
prove comforting and helpful. In pre-
pairing the lotion use two tablespoon
fuls acetate of lead to a quart of wa
ter. There is no objection to inject
ing a little of this dlto the opening.
An injection of a little tincture OF TO-
dine once a day into the opening is
desirable also. In treating cases Of
this kind 1t is a good practice to wrap
about the horses foot a pad Of straw
or hay for cushioning the foot.

CURE THAT SORE THROAT

Sore throat Is Inflammation of the
mucous membrane Of the throat, and
If this membrane happens to be at all
sensitive predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
dinary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just a little in glass
OF water, used as q gargle, will quick
ly relieve all soreness and strengthen
the mucous membrane Of the throat,
and thus overcome all tendency to
sore throat.
Paxtine is far superior to liquid an
tiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and
hygienic uses.
Paxtine may be obtained at any
drug store, % and SOC box, or sent
postpaid upon receipt of price by The
