II is only natural that the simplest

drowsiness or b~iliousness, all uncon-
scious of the cause OF the trouble.
You should have a full and free
movement at least once a day. IL you
pass a day you are constipated, and
the result will be that you will catch
a cold easily or have a more serious
ailment. To cure the constipation and
forestall still graver trouble take a

Legions of people use 1t regularly in

SUMMER RATION FOR HORSES
Little oiimeaI-More Carbohy-
drates and Less Protein.

If corr must be fed to the horses,
grinding it will not pay, unless the
horses have poor teeth, in which Ease
it might be advisable. Feeding the
ear or shelled corr would be the more
desirable method of feeding.
Crushed corn and cobmeal is not as
good because of the cost of crushing,
and the amount of food value secured
from the cob is so small that it does
not make up for the energy required
to digest so much crude fiber.
A combination or corn, bran and a
little oilmeal make a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a 1000
pound horse about ten pounds of corn
and three pounds of bran per day
would be equivalent to fourteen
pounds of oats, although 1t contain
a little more carbohydrates and less
protein, thus making a little wider
ration. A small amount of oilmeal
would offset this, however.

VALUABLE CROP FOR SWINE

Excellent Growth.

/ have found that alfalfa makes on
OF the most valuable crops for tn
hog grower, whether it is pastured
cut up finely and fed with grount
feed, writes John H. Dunlay in the
Farm, Stock and Home. Last winter
when middlings were selling around
$50 per ton | cut alfalfa in a cutting
box and fed with the warm slop to all
my hogs that did not have access to
blue grass or the rye fields. Hogs
of all ages relished the cut alfalfa
when fed in the slop and they made
a fine growth.
The alfalfa was cut to about one
half an inch in length and then scald-
ed before being mixed with the
ground feed. / usually put the cut
alfalfa in a large galvanized tank and
pour boiling water over it. 1t is then
left to stand owe night and If cov

that will grind alfalfa into a coarse
meal, and if / do this l think the hogs
will find 1t even more palatable. Al
falfa contains about the same amount
of protein as found in the best mid
dlings and at the same time it seems
to act as a tonic for all the hogs that
have access to it.
1t is not too late to SOW alfalfa and
1t will pay you to SOW at least a small
patch even IL you only feed the hogs
the cured hay during the winter
months, when they do not get green
feed. When there is a good supply
of alfalfa, it makes the best of forage
crops for hogs Of all ages. Alfalfa,
when pastured, should be allowed to
get a good start and should not be
pastured the first season. In this way
it gets a good start and is able to
stand pa~sturing better the next year.
1t is well to ring the hogs or take
them from the alfalfa field il the
ground gets wet or muddy.

When Soils Cease to Produce.

The trouble with soils when they
cease to produce as they did when
new is not that elements of plant
food are actually exhausted from the
soil, but the necessary forces for the
liberation are exhausted. One of
these forces is bacteria. 1t is esti-
mated that in the common soil there
are 150,000,000 bacteria to the Inc
These bacteria must have for their

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as to
the Furnishing and Col
orlnQ.

Her brown study was the name a
girl gave to a little room she had
made into a sruggery of her own.
where she could read and work and
have coy chats with her friends, 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enlivened
with yellow. This girl did most of the
work herself, tinting the walls a soft
yellow tan, with a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained a slightly dark
err shade than the walls, and on 1t we're
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and yell
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self so hat they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far 1t was all plain brown, cream
and buff. Now for variety and color
she chose a lowered c%retonne with a
design of little yellow roses. With
this she made a slip cover for a little
low rocker, a valance for the top of
her window with side curtains just to
the sill. a curtain run on a brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and a slip cover for
her lounge. She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror In the yellow rose c%retonne, and
painted a bureau, a small kitchen
table, and two kitchen chairs in cream
colored paint. On the table she placed
her blotter with its dull-brown cor
ners and over the table hung her book.

had a room to enjoy.

ease

Field on an Area Which Has Be-
come infested With Fusarium Dis
ease.
Is somewhat slow. When the plants
reach a height of 10 to IA inches,
there is an apparent cessation of
growth. The first indication of the
disease is usually conspicuous at this
time. The preliminary symptoms are
a light green color of the foliage, par
ticularly the lower leaves; this is ac-
companied during the heat of the day
by a partial whiting and an inward
and upward rolling of the upper
leaves. The color gradually changes
to a sickly yellow, which slowly and
evenly cover the affected vines. The
whiting and rolling of the leaves
tends to all parts of the affected
plants. AS the disease progresses the
field takes on a notified yellow to light
green color. The growth of the
foliage is greatly restricted, the wilt
ing becomes more pronounced and
there is associated much tip-burn ow-
ing to the failure of the leaflets to
fully recover at night from the wilt
of the midday. Occasionally hills will
show only one or two vines afflicted.
Plants which early succumb to the
disease pull up easily, manifesting a
badly rotted condition of the root.
AS a rule the blighted stems do not
fall, but remain quite erect, except
for the dropping top.
There is much evidence to indi-
cate that many growers are practicing
potato rotations of too short a dura-
ton. Most of such growers have at
tempted to maintain a three-year
rotation of wheat, clover and pota-
toes, but longer than a three-year
rotation should be p%racticed.
Sick fields should not be planted in
potatoes again for at least five or six
years, and even longer time may be
