CARE OF HORSE AND STABLE
Powder Good for skin Disorders Is
clven-Many Crooked Legs Of
Colts May BE Saved.

The following powder given each
day is said to be good for skin disor-
der in horses: Finely powdered
iodine Of potash, four ounces; granu-
lated sugar and common salt. Of each
one pound. Mix well together and d.
vide into 80 powders. Feed no corn
but let the grain feed be oats and
wheat bran. Use tincture of iodine on
the Jumps every second day until the
skin becomes little tender.
DR.. Smeed says that many a crook

olive oil one part on the knees and
tendons twice per day and each thor

To DESTROY stumps.

The best time to destroy hard wood
stumps is after they have stood two
or three years and the roots become
brittle With an iron bar punch a
hole under the stump. or use one OF
the borers made for the purpose. but
do not loosen the soil except by maxi
ing the hole Place the dynamite
well under the center OF the stump.
A little experience will soon show the
right charge for different sized
stumps but use enough to thoroughly

FEW N0N-PR0DUCTlVE HENS
Several Found Among Competitors at
National EGG Contest That Never
Laid an Egg.

One Of the surprises of the national
esq contest at Mountain Grove, Mo-,
was that several hens among the
competitors were found that never
laid an egg They seemed healthy and
ate as heartily as other hens
in the pen, but never laid a siRgle
egg,
How TO account for this is mat
ter that puzzles the experts. We
don't know that they could find out,
says the Kansas Farmer. even by
killing the hens and examining them.
They can only say they were non-pro-
ductive. The finding OF these nos
producing hens could only be found
out by the use Of trap nests, where a
daily record was kept Of all the hens
that laid or didn't lay any eggs
It is undoubtedly true that there are
q great many non-productive hens in
the focks OF this country, and it would
be a fine thing if they could be found
out. so as to be eliminated from the
Hocks. The use OF the trap nests for
this purpose. on the ordinary farm, is
out of the question, for the farmer
would not have the time to attend to
them even If he did have the nests.
Still, he can do a great deal towards
the elimination of the non.producers
by observation. He can get rid of all
the hens that are over three years
old, for after that age they do not
lay many eggs The supernuous roost-
ers that are generally on every farm
are, of course, in the non-productive
class, and should be disposed of at
once.
