Excellent Mixture to Keep Trouble.
some Insects From Milk Cows
and Other Farm Animals.

To protect milk cows and young
stock and horses from the common
house fly and the more troublesome
wood fly the following mixture may
be used without injury to the skin
of the animal to which 1t is applied
It Is an excellent and economical
remedy. It is as follows: One gallon
Of fish oil, four ounces of turpentine
one point of coal oil, one ounce OF
the oil of cedar and one ounce of car
bolic acid. Mix thoroughly. Stir the
contents before using. Spray small
quantity of this or apply with paint
brush to each animal once week. A
small quantity will answer.
The following formula Is recon-
mended by Professor Wheeler. Of the
Kansas Agricultural college: Resin
one and a half pounds; laundry soap
two cakes; fish oil, half pint. and
water to make three gallons. Dissolve
the resin in solution Of soap and water
by boiling together Add fish oil and
the balance of water. Apply will

Matteson's formula is: Fish oil
three quarts; crude petroleum.. one
quart, and carbolic acid. one ounce
Mix well. One-half pint will cover
twelve cows; put on with spray

When he is working in water infest-
led by sharks and other sea monsters

lat present to rely for his safety on the
use of the knife, or, failing that. on

BL0AT OF CATTLE OR SHEEP
Disease 10 Excessive Accumulation Of
Gas In Paunch-Rellef Afforded
by Trochar and Canula.

By DIR. F. B. HADLEY. College Of Az
riculture, University of wisconsin,
From now until the close of the
pasturing season, cattle and sheep will
be subject to bloat and hoven. This
disease is an excessive accumulation
Of gas in the paunch, and is usually
brought about by permitting animals
to pasture on clover or alfalfa which
is wet from either dew or rain. Large
quantities Of these feeds are greedily
eaten, especially In the spring follow
ing winter feeding on dry foods. or
in the late summer when the herds
and flocks are turned into the second
crop after the usual pastures are dried
up or closely cropped.
The chief symptom is distension
Of the paunch noted in the left flank.
Relief, which must be immediate II
effective, is best afforded by the
trochar and canula. This instrument
should be in the hands Of every stock
man. The proper place to insert the
instrument Is on the left side in the
center of the triangular area bounded
in front by the last rib, above by
the lower edge Of the loin muscles
and behind by the hip bone. Leave
the canula in position 10 or IL min
utes, reinserting in freshly made
opening II necessary. Medicinal treat
ment is of minor importance asa rule.
Prevention Is easily carried out
either by limiting the time at pasture
to a few minutes each day until the
stock becomes accustomed to the
change of feeds, or by feeding large
quantities of dry hay in the morning
before they are turned onto the green
pasture. In either case care should
be taken that no moisture is present.

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 a predisposition to sore
throat will exist.
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic is both a
preventative and a cure for sore
throat because it possesses extraor-
binary cleansing, healing and germi-
cidal qualities. Just little in glass
of water. used as a 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

Hay Rack.

= clear idea as to how these are con-
structed.
In figure 1 we have hay rack that
has been made on a corral fence. 1t
is made of 1x4 battens, these being
high enough so that the cattle cannot
bring much pressure on them. A space
of about six inches is left open at the
bottom between the Stats and the
fence, the purpose of this being to n
low the old uneaten hay and rubbish
to fall out, thus keeping the racks
clean.

During her career Mrs. Nation
wrecked hundreds of saloons, using
Ratchet, which became as well known
as she. She was absolutely without
fear, invading saloons, demolishing
mirrors and furniture and assailing
bartenders and proprietors without re.
gard for her own safety. She had
many narrow escapes from injury and
was roughly handled on several occa-

Carrie Nation regarded herself as a

that hers was the right hand OF God
and that she had been commissioned
to destroy the rum traffic In the
United States. The emblem OF her
mission was a Ratchet, and her cam
paign against the saloon was country
wide. She suffered Imprisonment,
abuse, ridicule, was even called In

tired with money enough to enable
her to buy a farm in Arkansas. A
good deal of her money was derived
from the sale of souvenir hatchets
and the remainder from lectures.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week it was pointed out in
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200,OO0,0O0 bushels of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100,000,0 900 over the
! previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 100000 or 100000
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce
as many able-bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars of which can be had
from any of the following Agents Of
the Canadian Government: M. " Nc

Every facility will be afforded men
of the right stamp to secure advantage
of these low rates. To those who pro-
pose to go, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity OF
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character of
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the OPP
portunity of seeing some of the great.
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
Z and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, If he purchased,
in some cases, costing him from $500
ito $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre
Even at these prices the land Is re-
markably cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to Is bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 to $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be a nominal
price for land that would produce al
