trouble is that when most people under

market various tickiciedes, but these
cost more than in the crude materials
mentioned and are probably not more

of the tail near the body is a favorite

There are good mills on the market
now for grinding corn, cob and shuck
and you will not make a mistake in pur-
chasing and using one, and this is es-
pecially true owing to the high price of
corn and other concentrates. A good
ration for horses and mules may be made
by mixing together 700 pounds of finely
ground corn, cob and shuck and 100
pounds of cotton seed meal. Feed this
at the rate of II to 16 pounds per day
Where the mules are doing hard work
feed the larger amount; when they are
standing idle in the stable eight pounds
per day is enough for maintenance ra-
ton. BY adding cotton seed meal its
feeding value is improved. Oats make an
excellent ration for work stock; one of
the Best which can be fed, and you
might substitute part of the corn
suggested in the above ration with oats
to good advantage. We believe you will
save enough by buying a mill and grind
ing corn, cob and shuck so you may
feed meal and other amendments with the
corn to make 1t a profitable investment.
Meal may be fed in the proportion sug-
gested without injury to live Stock. The
excessive use of cotton seed meal would
be Objectionable with horses or with
mares in foal or any other class of live
stock carrying young.
The trouble affecting your mule may
be due to a variety of causes though
possibly the irritation of the kidneys is
increased by the feeding Of hay and
grain which has not been perfectly CURED
and has heated and become musty or
permeated by fungi. If you are using
any feed which is not of a perfectly
wholesome character and been cured I'M
der ideal conditions you should desist
from its use at once as this is one of
the most frequent causes of irritation Of
the kidneys. Trouble of this kind may
be corrected sometimes by liberal sup
ply of boiled fiaxseed in the drinking
water. Phosphate of iron in two-dram
doses morning and evening will be found

Ticks may be removed from cattle

the surface of the bottom land. If the
springs are bold and high it might be adj
visable to cut a ditch around close to
the face of the hill and carry, off the
greater part of the seepage water and
flow from the springs in that manner
Tile will answer the purpose, 1t is true,
but you must be certain to secure good
and uniform fall for them in order to get
the best results If you are certain you
can secure the needed fall, use the tile
The size of tile to use will depend on the
amount of water discharged by the
spring. A six-inch tile is considered rath-
er large; ordinarily a fve-inch tile is
enough for a main drain tile. The later
ais running out from this will be three
to four inches in diameter, four being
preferable in our Judgment. With prop
osition such as you have we would be in
clined to run three or four lines direct
from the base of the hill out to the creek
bank. From these main flve-inch drains
we would run out arms of laterals at
right angles to drain the swags and low
places. The distance apart at which the
main tile should be placed depends much
on the nature and character of the soil.
If the land is somewhat sandy and
porous they may be put as much as 30
to 100 feet apart and laterals run out
80 to 40 feet on each side. Where the land
is very stiff and heavy the main lines
should be drawn in closer. Use an unV
glazed tile and be certain that the drain
is laid to a perfect grade and the joints
made as close as possible to keep the
roots from finding entrance thereto. You
should allow a fall of two to five inches
per 100 feet. More than FIVE inches is
Objectionable as it may cause the tiles to
block themselves. The tile should be
placed at a depth of IS to S6 inches. We
would prefer to put them not less than
2 1-2 feet deep. Eighteen inches is rather
shallow as they may be disturbed by deep
blowing at some time, and the deeper they
are put, the better the chance Of aerating
the soil and increasing it's ability to grow
crops and dispose of surface water quick
