A Great Farm and Herd of Cattle.

While driving by the other day
we stopped just for a moment at the
magnificent 290 acre farm of John
j. Walenta, in Sumner township,
west of Spillville. To our notion this
is an ideal farm. A handsome mod
ern brick farm home of large pro-
portions, equipped with all modern
conveniences, a great big cattle barn
and two or three smaller barns,
splendid equipment throughout the
whole place, and grazing in the pas
lures through which runs splendid
trout stream was the finest herd of
Black Polled cattle we have ever
seen, one of the highest grade herds,
in fact, in the country. They have
ninety head on hand now, and al
ways keep a large number, for there
is hardly a week and in some sea-
sons scarcely day that some buy
er does not come here from long
distance to buy one of these fine
thoroughbreds at fancy price. Mr..
Walenta and his son Frank know how
to farm and especially how to raise
blooded stock, and If you think we
are stretching the facts little just
run over to their farm and you will
say that we didn't half tell it. We
hope that some day we may have
time to make a thorough inspection
of this splendid farm.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
ment into the parting with a bit of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is we'll to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable. but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

some cases the hens do not begin till
November. When such a late mott
takes place the time for the complete
mott is generally not much more than
two months.
Since it has practically been proven
that forcing Of the mott is not effect
i've, except In a few individual cases.
1t would seem that the only thing to
do in this period is to take as good
care as Is possible with the flock so
that the fowls may finish their mott
in the best health. 1t will be under
stood by anyone that the shedding Of
feathers and the building up Of the
new covering is strain on any fowl
and while the owner is getting al
most no returns from his flock this is
be most carefully watched. The usual
habit is. however. to neglect the flock
during this period simply because they
are not giving good results.
One of the best recommended mix
lures to be fed the flock during the
Noting period Is given below. This
does not vary much from the feed
given during the rest Of the year ex-
cept that cracked corn Is used in.
stead of whole corn and not as much
corn is fed during the warmer months
as during winter.
Scratch mixture-Wheat 10 lbs, oats
10 lbs, cracked corn 16 lbs.
Hopper mixture-Corn meal lbs.
wheat bran 2 lbs. wheat middlings 3
lbs. oil meal 1 lb., alfalfa meal 1 h.,
meat scraps l lb.
This latter mixture was used by the
Cornell experimental station in tests
along these lines.
Our general opinion is that more
thought should be given this question
OF melting. and that careful attention
should be given flocks at this time.
The days when so eggs per year per
hen would be considered sufficient
have passed and il is remembered
that we now throw out the hen with
such a record and even criticize the
100-egg hen; we should also remember
that the results we expect cannot be
reached unless we give the flock the
best care that we possibly can and
consider no details too small to be
overlooked in the daily routine.

farm at less cost than Robert Row
ley, proprietor of the Laurentide pre-
serves at Lake Edward, says Que
bee correspondent of the Montreal

RowIey heard that a man there had
four young pups, part red and part
black. It is said that nobody wanted
to buy the animals, though the price
was about $40 or so head. Mr.
Rowley gave the man his price. The
next morning Mr.. Friedman, manager
Of the black fox ranch OF Lieutenant
Governor Wood of New Brunswick,
who had been securing the country
for young stock, saw the foxes and
Immediately went into the hotel and
in front of every one present offered
Mr.. Rowley several thousand dollars,
but was refused. When the villagers
realized the offer some of them al
most collapsed on the spot and the
place has been fox crazy ever since.
Mr.. Rowley is also purchasing
pure black dog fox at very small
sum and will cross it with the litter
which he got so cheaply. He expects
to have a litter of pure black foxes

From the early part of August until
the end OF October the year-old stock
is going through period of prepara-
ton for the coming winter by getting
rid of the worn and old covering and
acquiring a beautiful new one.
slight mott is also experienced by
some young pullets that have been
batched very early in the year. The
only time we have ever had a chance
TO observe this, however, was in the
case of six Plymouth Rock pullets
that were Matched in February. These
began to lay in the latter part of Au-
gust, and while they went through
slight mott In the last part of Oc-
tober, this mott was so gradual that
IL did not seem to affect the egg yield
to any noticeable extent. Other ex-
periences that we have heard Of differ
from this and the above is probably
the exception rather than the rule.
Generally speaking, it appears that
pullets Matched earlier than the first
part of March will go through the mott
in October and November and may
not resume laying until late I'm jan
uary. Therefore. 1t would seem that
old hens or April and early May
Matched pullets are the most desired
for early winter laying and for breed
ing purposes.
Regarding the heavy molt which
happens after the pullet year, several
tests have been made from time to
time to see II this molt could be
forced" so that the hens would re-
sumo laying at least in November. In
forcing the mott, the general plan is
to starve the flock for a period OF
from four to six weeks and then feed
heavily during the remainder of the
period. It has generally been found.

most as quickly under normal condi-

time for a fowl to complete its molt
