What do you think of the man whom
you see driving horse with his tail
docked to seven inches, perfectly help
less against the attack OF flies during
these hot days?
There is d great deal of humanity
in axle grease.
Have you ever noticed that the first
thing your horse does when you turn
him out Of the stable in the morning
Is to go straight to the watering
trough?
Contrary to the general belief, it
does not hurt a horse to give him
water in moderate quantities even
when he is very hot, providing the
water is not very cold.
Never salt the horses feed in the
box. Place a big lump where he car
reach it and he will take it when he
needs it.
The long halter strap in the stal
has been the cause of permanent in
jury to many animals.
A cheap harness is really abou
the most expensive thing on the farm
as it sometimes costs life.

Made Away With.

One night last week papa got home
late. There had been so many things
to attend to at the office-and after
that a customer from out of town had
arrived, and-well, papa got home
awfully late. He hated TO disturb the
family. so he camped in the dining
room. And in the morning, being thirs-
ty. he arose, drank water, and retired
under the table again.
Then came his little son, the earliest
TO arise. Little son viewed the situa-
tion in the dining room, then lifted up
his voice and wept.
What's the matter?" groaned papa
You've gone and drank up all the
water in that glass aquarium you gave
me for Christmas"
Well, never mind that. You can
put some fresh water in it, and it'll be
all the better"
Yes, but who's goin' to put fresh
goldfish and pollywogs and mud tur-
ties in it?"

CAUSE OF GAPES
IN THE POULTRY
To Eradicate Disease Birds A.
fecteG Should Be Isolated
and Treated.
(By H. L. KEMPsTER of Missouri Sta
tion)

(By II. L. KEMPSTER of Missouri Sta
tion)
Gapes is a disease affecting certain
birds. fowls. and particularly chicks
one to four weeks old. 1t is caused
by a small worm, called the cape
worm. which attaches itself to the
windpipe of it's victim.
The symptoms are frequent gaping,
sneezing, a whistling cough, with dis
charge of mucus and worms. dump
ishness. weakness and dropping of
wings. Dead birds will show forked
worms attached to the windpipe
The adult female cape worm Is
much larger than the male. her body
being filed with eggs and embryos.
These embryos appear in the drop
pings or are coughed up. SO the
trouble is spread by contamination
of runs, feed and drinking water.
Embryos are often found in earth
worms
To eradicate the disease, isolate af-
fected birds, treat drinking water
with potassium permangnate; burn
dead birds, and remove chicks to
fresh ground which is not infected
Cultivation of infected ground is
said to eradicate the worms in three
years.
Individual cases may be treated in
one of three ways;
BY confining the chick for a short
time in box which has air-slaked
lime on the floor The lime is said to
cause the worm to release its grip,
and the chick to sneeze it out.
Stripping a feather, leaving a small
tuft, moistening with turpentine and
introducing into the windpipe, care
being taken not to lacerate the wind
pipe or suffocate the chick.
Two horse hairs tied together the
knot trimmed, run down the chick
ems throat, and removing in a twist
ing manner. will also remove the
worms. Cape worm extractors are
also on the market

The well-bred draft horse is always
in demand. and the farmer who breeds
it constantly in the one who makes
the most profit in horses.
The patient mule is not much for
speed. but he keeps going, and usually
arrives on time
A mule never seems to be really
frightened at anything. When he
runs away he does it through pure
love of mischief.
A mule scents danger almost as
unerringly as the elephant
Ever know mule to step in a hole
or venture upon an unsound bridge
of his own volition?
No white man can ever get on as
GOOD terms with mule as the negro
IAN.
The average mule will do as much
work. at two years old as the horse
till at three or four.
Never tie mule up in stall over
light. The open field for him always.
Some English farmers are paying as
ieh as $500 per pair for American
,ules to send to the Argentine Re-
ublic.

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in n more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
ience and tells about it, in letter He
says:
For about forty years, l have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last %
years | would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
The best doctors ! could get and
all the medicines | could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. | could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump out of my body.
81 came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that | was
about wound up, when l saw a Postum
advertisement. ! had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble
Il began to use Postum instead of
coffee and in less than three weeks
felt like a new man. The rheumatism
left me, and l have never had a spell
of bilious collie since.
My appetite is good my digestion
never was better and ! can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since | be.
gan with Postum. My wife makes il
according to directions and | relish il
as well as l ever did coffee. and | was
certainly slave to coffee"
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the lit
tie book, THE Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postur-must be we'll boiled
Instant Postum is a soluble powder
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in Z
cup of hot water and, with the addi
tion of cream and sugar, makes a de
ucious beverage instantly.
There's reason" for Postum.

VALUE OF POTATO
TO FATTEN PIGS
Expert at Eastern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station Gives Re-
suits of Test.
By ROBERT WITHYCOMB of Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station)

(By ROBERT WITHYCOMB of Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station)
An experiment to test the feeding
value of raw or steamed potatoes as
supplementary feed with grain ra-
ton has been carried on with inter
esting results.
The hogs in the experiment were di-
vided into eight lots and records of
the different feed given each and the
proportionate gains made were kept
carefully. Each hog in lots l and 2
ate an average of 1701S pounds of
barley and 509.53 pounds of raw po-
tatoes, making a gain in weight of
60.70 pounds. Those in lots and 4
ate 1000 pounds of barley and
663.75 pounds steamed potatoes, and
made gain of 1850 pounds, while
those in lots and ate 1850
pounds barley and 564S0 pounds
steamed potatoes and made a gain of
1910 pounds. Lots and ate S00.10
pounds barley without potatoes and
made a gain of 69.5 pounds.
The last two lots, fed barley alone,
were used as a check on the others to
show more definitely the proportion
ate value of the potatoes. AT the
present market value of cents a
pound live weight, the hogs fed barley
made S3S7 gain, which makes the
barley feeding value $162 to the hun
dred
Lots l and fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate of three pounds
of potatoes to a pound of barley, made
a $425 gain, which gives the raw
potatoes a feeding value of % cents
to the hundred. Lots and 4 receiv-
ing six times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made S4.94 gain,
giving the steamed potatoes a feeding
value of AZ cents to the hundred.
Lots and fed three times as much
steamed potatoes as barley, made a
$547 gain, making the feeding value
of the potatoes AZ cents to the hun
dred.
1t is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by the
others, but it required S525 pounds
less barley to make this gain so the
difference in feeding value is ac-
counted for.
1t is also noteworthy tina. the steam
potatoes are worth 13 cents more to
the hundred than raw for feeding, as
shown in the comparison of the gain
of animals fed the 3-to-1 ration.

Following a lengthy hearing here,

overruled the action of the Board OF
School Commissioners for Prince
Georges county in removing Ross l.
Manning from the principalship of the
high school at Laurel. Several allega-
tions tending to show that Mr.. Man
ming was inefficient to hold the posi-
tion were made by the School Commis-
sioners and County Superintendent
Sasscer. but only one of the grounds
was hello to be sufficient to support
the action taken against Manning.
This was the charge of poor admins
trative and executive ability, causing
lack of harmony with the teachers.
While upholding the sufficiency of the
allegation the State Board decided that
it was not proved against the removed
official. The petition of Mr.. Manning
was sustained and he will continue as
principal of the school, which he has
held Ia years Mr. Manning was pres
