Testimony of Lancaster Citizens
When a Lancaster citizen comes to
the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, YOU can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
of people residing in far away places
do not command your confidence.
Home endorsement is the kind that
backs Doans Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. Investiga-
tipr proves it true. Below is a state
ment of a Lancaster resident. No
stronger proof of merit can be had.

Salt is essential for COWS.
Give young pigs comfortable quar-

One breed is always better than a
hodgepodge
It is not always the largest hen
that is the best layer.
If not moldy sorghum is an excellent
root forage for all stock.
In order to have good-sized sheep
grow them rapidly while young.
Poorly fed sheep will not produce
very good wool, nor good mutton.
Equal parts of corn and oats are
hard to excel as a grain feed for
sheep.
During an extra cold spell of wealth
er, add little corn to the sow's grain
ration.
Do not attempt to winter more
sheep than can be done without
| crowding.
BY the right kind of selection even
the commonest dairy herd can be
greatly improved.
Growing pigs should not be crowd
ed into close, filthy quarters, exposed
to vermin and disease.
The driver more than the horse is
always more to blame for the animals
being vicious-if he ever is.
Leave a horse united when hooked
to a vehicle and he will be likely to
be gone when you return for him.
You will appreciate the difference
between low-headed and high-headed
trees when you are picking the crop.

The best dairy COW is the one that
will convert the forage raised on the
farm into the greatest amount of
butter fat.
A dairy thermometer comes into
good play any time of year, but is
especially valuable to have around for
winter churning.
The supply of vegetable matter is
most easily maintained in the soil by
the growing of green crops and by the
application Of manure.
Change in the conditions Of dairy
ing is driving many men out of the
work because they would rather quit
than improve their methods.
Horse breeding requires more cap
ital, is more profitable if successful,
and involves larger losses if not, than
any other kind of stock breeding.
Moles in garden prove an intoler-
able nuisance. While they may be
trapped, the only sure way is to in
iect bisulphate of carbon into their
runs
Give the old sows, and those that
have been pulled down by late filters,
extra care and feed, so they will go
through the winter in profitable con-
dition
A half teaspoonful of Paris green
added to heavily sweetened water or
molasses will kill the cut worms, but
care should be taken that the fowls
cannot get at it.
An old horseman says that the
chief cause of collie in horses, or the
cause of the largest per cent. of these
cases, is brought through long absti-
nence from water.
Alfalfa meal is becoming a popular
feed, but in Kansas, where they raise
a lot Of that kind Of hay, farmers
claim that the COW can do the grinding
cheaper than it can be done at the
mill.
When a man tells you that he has
COWS that he could milk all the year
round if he would, see if you cannot
gobble onto some of his stock. Cows
that hold out are worth their weight
in gold.

Egg production isn't made with 8
one-grain diet.
A hen can't lay unless it has an
abundance Of feed.
The horse is tie only animal which
every farmer must have.
When you go into town, invest in a
good thermometer for the dairy.
Keep the ensilage covered. Frozen
ensilage is no advantage to stock.
A good horsenan never trots a
draft horse, even when he has no load.
Sometimes size in sheep is secured
at the expense Of activity and vitality.
II is a mistake to feed the pigs
sour milk when they are learning to
eat.
When at all indisposed, a turkey
should be separated from the rest Of
the flock.
A lamb that is large and strong will
stand weaving better, and also win
ter better.
Hogs are great lovers of warmth
and must have it for their most eco
nomical growth.
Size, vigor and activity of both
cockerels and pullets are essential to
good breeding of fowls.
The most beautiful horse is not
worth much unless he has good,
sound limbs and feet.
Sunshine is life to all animals and
all farm buildings should be so
planned as to afford it.
Wheat middlings can nearly always
be used to advantage in connection
with corn in faJLening hogs.
Rubbing the inside Of the churn
with dry salt after washing and wip-
ing it helps in keeping it sweet.
When from any cause a horse is let
stand idle in the stable his rations
should be cut down to one-half.
We should let the heifers have what
mixed hay they will consume and
some of the cornstalks to pick over.
The individuality of each horse
should be studied, and the feeds sup
piled to meet individual requirements.
The churn should be thoroughly
scalded and cooled with clean, cold
water before the cream is put into
it. N
While growing colts should be al
lowed to run out as long as the wealth
er will permit them to be exposed to
the storm.
If dusty hay is fed, sprinkle with
water, and it will save the horse
much annoyance, but better not feed
it at all.
Do not feed the COWS corn meal if
you are feeding corn silage for there
is as much corn in the silage as the
COWS should have.
Be sure there are no narrow doors
for the ewes to crowd through. One
jam may cause the lose of a lamb,
or both eve and lamb.
If the mixer and COW are co-work-
ers in the milking business the mixer
will have larger pail full of good
milk when he has finished.

PARIS TAKES UP NEW C0LORs
Jade and MaIachite Green Are the
Latest to Find Favor In the Gay
French Capital.

While Paris has almost exhausted
its favoritism for red. which has been
going on since last summer, 1t has
just begun its enthusiasm for Jade
and malachite green.
Both of these are lovely. bold tones
that need yelling on number OF
women. or otherwise they would be
washed out.
When they are used without veil
ing the upper part of the bodice is
made Of tulle In white or flesh pink, to
take the shade of the green from the
face; and when woman cannot wear
the unrelieved tone 1t Is veiled with a
dark shade of green tulle instead OF
black tulle.
On these gowns there is an oppor-
tunity to use many jade and mala-
chite stones as trimming and as orna.

maintenance OF SOIL MULCH
Important Operation After Land Has
Been Piowed to Prevent Mo's-
ture Evaporation.

After the land has been so well
plowed that the rains can enter cas-
lily, the next operation OF Importance
in dry farming Is the making anu
maintaining Of soil mulch over the
ground to prevent the evaporation OF
water from the soil. For this pur-
pose some form Of harrow Is most
commonly used. The Oldest and best
known harrow is the ordinary smooth
ing harrow. which is composed OF iron
or steel teeth OF various shapes set
in q suitable frame. For dry-farm
purposes the implement must be so
made rs to enable the farmer to set
the harrow teeth to slant backward
and forward. 1t frequently happens
that in the spring the grain ia too
thick for the moisture in the soil. and
1t then becomes necessary to tear out
some Of the young plants. For this
purpose the harrow teeth are set
straight, or forward. and the crop
can then be thinned effectively. At
other times 1t may be observed in the
spring that the rains and winds have
led to the formation Of a crust over
the soil, which must be broken to let
the plants have full freedom Of
growth and development. This is &C.
complished by slanting the harrow
teeth backward, and the crust may
then be broken without serious In
jury to the plants.

but because it is warmer than that

PRINCIPLES OF DRY FARMING

conditions prevail we hear complaint
OF short crops. Irrigation has been
talked OF and experiments are being
made. II may be questioned whether
irrigation is practical for some parts
OF the valley. but 1t certainly is prac.
tical to conserve the moisture by scien.
tific dry.farming methods.
The basic principles Of this system
are simple. To give the ground q
chance to absorb the water We must
have deep plowing In time to receive
the precipitation. Many farms In this
naturally rich valley are plowed only
few inches deep year after year.

remedy Is subsoiling. or deep plowins
in the fall or also early In the spring.
10 allow the moisture to be absorbed
and given UP again later. Then the
waste OF moisture must be stopped by
pulverizing the surface soil and by
frequent stirring to break up the
capillary. In other words dust
mulch is needed where crops are cui'
tivated. to hold the moisture for use
OF the plant roots.
The conditions which DR.. Worst has
described as applying to North Da'

some OF the eastern Oregon and other

But one of the most popular shapes
seems to be the derby, made on much
