CURE FOR "BARNYARD ITCH"
Mixture Of Hogs Lard and Sulphur
Will Kill OF the Parasite,

"Barnyard itch" is a white scabby
growth around the eyes and in blotches
on the neck and sometimes farther
back on the body. 1t is Il parasite and
will spread from animal to another
and will live for years in Il barn that
has been infected by cattle that have
it. It is transmissiblc to people hand
ling cattle so affected if they should
happen to rub the affected spots with
bare wrist or hand, as one is apt to
do in tying or stanchioninS. On the
human it comes as hundreds of small
testers, which scab over and keep
spreading and are very painful.
After trying everything l could think
Of, ever the best carbolic acid, brushed
on with Il feather, and only aggravat-
ing the sore, in my desperation one
day I mixed some hogs lard and sui

make and use it. Just mix hogs lard

FEEDING THE SHEEP.
For the Ewes and Lambs Alfalfa With
Corn Is Quite N%ourishinq.


Thousands of ewes carrying lambs
are successfully fed in this country
every winter with no other feed than
good bright alfalfa hay, says the Ma
tional Stockman. However, it will do
no harm, and it may be we'll to give
these ewes IL light ration of corn III
addition to the hay. especially as they
approach lambing time. If the ewes
are young they will do as we'll on the
whole corn rs if it is ground.
In IL large sized flock, however, some
eve will not have the best of teeth,
and it will be we'll to crack the corn,
but it should be coarse. Sheep like
corn in this condition much better
than the meal. Start with a quarter
of a pound of corn per eve per day or
wen less and increase to Il half pound
as lambing time approaches. If the
ewes are westerns that have not tast-
ed ORR start with but Il few grains
pr W daily until they learn to eat
it. Give all tho alfalfa hay they will
eat UP clean. Supply plenty of fresh
ware hat is so clean you yourself
would drink it. Give salt regularly,
and it would be advisable to use a
good indicated salt.

become numb or cramped from lack of
circulation of blood. In this condition
1t Is useless to the horse. Pull the
horse out Of the stall. if that is found
possible. Never try to make him get
up when it is seen that he is cast. He
has tried his best to rise and failed.
If he cannot be pulled int the run
way at the rear of the stall Pull down
the partition against which he is cast:
then roll the horse V and examine
the legs that he has been lying upon.
One of them may be broken. That
often is found to be the case and usual
ly nccessitates the destruction of the
animal. If the legs are found intact
proceed to move them thoroughly and
massage the muscles to stimulate nor
ma circulation of blood. \ stimulating
liniment rubbed upon the muscles will
more quickly induce the circulation.
After the eXtrcmitics have become
warm and sensitive encourage the
horse to rise. If he cannot do SO have
several men assist him, if necessary

Before shooting q cast horse that is
unable to rise. although his leg is not
broken. have the veterinarian use the
cathetcr to draw off the urine. AzU-
turia often is brought on by the strug-
giles of Il east horse that has been
standing idle in the stable. Tho urine
in such a case will be found dark red
brown in color or like strong coffee.
The disease may prove durable.

Just For the Fun of the Thing
Our Wisdom.

Lo. every man who marries
For love he does that same
And TO the hearthstone carries
True loves immortal flame.
Some wed for love of IN
And some for love of pelf,
And some It's very human
For simple love Of self.
Some we'd for love OF beauty
And some for love of pride,
Some out of love of duty
Take unto them a bride,
And ON whose feet are weary
And who would cease to roam,
Who find the long road dreary-
They wed for love of home.
One common love. though, leads US
Each one to take a wife
And to the altar speeds us,
Whatever doubts are rife.
With her the grave we'd walk to
And falter not nor balk-
To have some one to talk to
Who likes to hear us talk.

Salt at Landing Time Dangerous.

There is considerable danger in feed
ing salt to ewes just before lambing
time. Many cases have been known
where abortion has been traced direct
~ to the use of salt during this period.
Sheep must have salt and plenty Of it,
but this is one time during the life cy-
Gle when it should be withheld. Not
only have bad results been noticed
from the feeding of salt. but when
sheep have been fed a liberal supply
Of beets or turnips abortion has been
more prevalent than otherwise. This
is attributed to the fact that there is
more salt in these feeds than in others.

BRIEF SiLAGE FACTS.

Silage fed stock require one

Few facts in agriculture have
been more clearly and conclu-

silo is a necessity to the stock

Some eight: or nine years after ArchA
Dupont's death the widow brought to
the plantation a boy whose age was
given as twelve years and adopted him.
George Etheridge was the boys name,
and he Q on became a favorite with all
the household. Chloe and Mrs. Dupont

and had become a prominent citizen,

manifested at the extent of the prep.

when he came to the plantation de.
clared that he had come Of 6 a year

Georgia on a large plantation,
which he owned, one David Du-
pont. His wife bore him n
child, a son, and when the baby was
but Il year old the father died, leaving
his property to his wife in trust for his
son.. But Dupont's affairs had always
been in the hands of one John Coulter,
the planter had every confidence. He
therefore left the management of the
estate to Coulter as executor.
Mrs. Dupont had always distrusted
Coulter, but so great was his influence
over her husband that she dared not
speak her mind.
One day she set out from the plan
tation to visit a friend. Her trunks
were taken to the station by the ne
groes, but the widow carried in her
hand what in those days was called a
bandbox made Of pasteboard, intended
for the carrying of women's bonnets
or mems hats. This box she would
trust to no other hands than her
own. She told all of the household
that her baby was to remain in the
hands of Chloe, his nanny, and no
one else was to have anything to do
with him.
Mrs. Dupont had been away from
Chole's husband. Sampson. appeared
to inform her that little Archie. her
son. was very i'll. She hurried home
and, going to the sickroom. shut her
self up there, giving orders that no
II except the doctor, who had been
the family physician for years, was to
be admitted. The doctor came and
went. but when asked how the baby
was getting on always hurried away
without giving any satisfaction. One
day when he came out of the sick
room he said:

business. When he returned he found
his plans seriously interfcrcd with.
There was Il provision in David Du-
points will that if his son died before
his widow the estate should be hers
instead of in trust for the boy. The
widow at once claimed the property
and told Coulter that he must turn
it Over to her.
The executor was in a hole. He had
partly accomplished his plans to get
possession of the property and had it
not been for the child's death would
