A systematic culling out Of the flock

England, the meat market OF the
world. Up to the present time, prices
received for our export beef have reg
ulated prices for meat consumed at
home. This year there is no export
trade. Our home consumption has
oyertaken our home supply. We are
short on beef. The past ten years
while the ranges have been breaking
up into grain farms, and during a
drought in the west the past two
years. and while our corn belt farm
ers have been selling everything that
would make beef from the farm, caus-
ing a shortage Of per cent in beef.
our population has increased 20 per
cent
The cause of high prices for beef
is due to shortage in not only the
United States, but over the entire
world. Argentine, the only country
that has any great beef export trade.
has tendency to increase her grain
farming, rather than her stock grow
ing. Men who have visited that coun-
try say that the beef business Is at
standstill. England can easily use all
that Argentine can supply. Many men
have been afraid that removing our
import duty on beef will cause such
an influx into this country that our
producers will be put out of business.
Other men claim that this is impossi
BILE. 1t certainly seems highly improb
able when we remember that there is
worlds shortage of beef, that the
ship lines run to England and not to
the United States from Argentina, and
that the American is fastidious per-

A PIanker Has Several Uses.

soon after a rain as the surface will
crumble nicely. This will not only
fine clods and level the surface, but by
putting on weights the seeded may
be firmed. which, with the mulch left
on the surface, will hold the moisture
where seeds or plants will need 1t
most.
BY weighing tho marker one can
make drills deep enough for the seeds
OF smaller crops without using any
other tool. A good Job covering them
can be done with the planker, the
driver standing on IL, or harrow with
teeth set slantwise, will answer the
purpose well. In using the marker let
the outer runner follow the last drill
made, 80 as to get all rows q uniform
distance apart.

good service in the flock for at least
another year or two, especially if upon
further examination OF the eve her
self IL is found that she still has q
full. sound set OF teeth, and that her
skin has good pink, healthy color.
Further features TO consider are the
amount and quality of wool that she
produced in the spring. and whether or
not her udder is sound.
Selecting the Eve Lambs.
AT the same time the flockmaster
is culling the ewes he should decide on
which eve lambs shall be kept TO per-
petuate the flock. His selection should
be based upon the nrinciple OF flock
uniformity in all points OF size and
type. and upon the performance of the
ancestry OF each lamb selected. The
culled ewes and lambs should then be
turned with the wethers in order that
they may be presented to the market
In the best possible condition.

Because a large portion Of the work
must be done when other work is
pressing, gardening is too often left
as a slack time job. Doing the right
thing at the right time IL the garden
counts for more than it does any
where else on the farm, since garden
crops will not stand much neglect.
Two garden tools that will be found
very serviceable, and saving of hand
labor, are a planker and marker, says
the Farmers Mail and Breeze. Both
are homemade affairs, the drawings
herewith showing the plan of con-
structing them. Use the planker on
plowed or narrowed ground, just as

A team of two or three horses is not

Clean Nests Essential.

Clean nests are very essential In

Treatment FOR LUMPY JAWS
Most Satisfactory Way Is to Remove
the Growth With Knife When
In the Tissues Only.
By G.. c.. GRAHAM.)


The most satisfactory way OF treat
ing lumpy jaws is TO remove the
growth with the knife when in the
tissues only. The animal is thrown;
the head then held in a favorable po-
sition. the skin is cut over the tumor
and the swelling removed by cutting
around It in the healthy tissues. If
hemorrhage is large the vessel may
be tied or taken up with the forceps;
bleeding from smaller vessels may be
scared with a red hot iron. The
wound should be washed with an anti
septic in one per cent solution after
the tumor Is removed and then packed
with antiseptic gauze or cotton and
the wound stitched up. The next day
removed the stitches and treat as an
open wound.

with a saw, one that will make an

By sighting over the square, the
