NOTES OF THE DAIRY FARM
Dairying Is One of Few Absolutely
Permanent Systems Of Agriculture
Name Your Cows.

A cows ancestry is valuable only
her counterpart.
Give each COW a name and call her
by 1t. and you will be surprised to see
how soon she will answer to 1t.
Surrounding conditions have much
to do with the milk producing value of
any ration.
= Dairy cows cannot make as good
use of whole grain as they can of
grain that has been ground.
In the generality of cases, heifers
with their first calf do not show as
high test of butter-fat as they do
at more mature age.
A period of rest before freshening
will usually produce larger flow of
milk than where the animal is MIXED
close u2 to calving.
A man can better afford to sell but
ter at the cost Of production than to
sell grain, that is, when the selling
price of the butter includes the feeds
and labor at their marketable.
Much farm butter sells at low
price, not because it is in itself bad,
but because it is made to suit the
maker and not the buyer.
A study of the kind of butter liked
best in ones market is quite essential
to high prices as much SO as .
knowledge Of the principles underly-
ing good bntter-making.
We can warm water more cheaply
in some other way than through the
COW.
The dairy cows stable should com
-bine warmth. ventilation and drain
age.
Dairy farming is one of the few alb
solutely permanent systems of agri-
culture. Do not try to cheat your
cows by giving them an ounce less Of
anything than they win profitably con-
sumo, nor crowd them at anytime be-
yond their normal capacity.
| Progress in dairying Is greatest
where there's the most interest Cow
test associations stimulate Interest

TAKE CARE OF THE HARNESS
Should Be Cleaned at Least Once
Every Year-Frequent Sponging
Will Help Appearances.
By A. JOSEPH, Genessee. CALI

(By A. JOSEPH, Genessee, Cal)
Harness should be cleaned thor
oughly at least once year, the spring
being the best time.
Take the harness all apart and soak
the parts in a wash tub of luke warm
water with handful of washing soda
In it.
Let the harness soak fifteen or
twenty minutes and then scrub With
an ordinary scrubbing brush. When
the leather is nearly dry use edge
blacking. 1t can be obtained from
harnessmaker If you cannot get it..
take half gallon of vinegar and put
pieces of iron in 1t for three or four
DAYS or until the vinegar is a rich
golden color.
Give the leather good coat OF this
fluid. and rub the harness thoroughly.
Take quart of neatsfoot oil and
half pint OF kerosene Mix and warm
them and give the harness two coats
of this, using it freely.
when the oil has dried, sponge the
harness with luke warm water and
CASTLE soap. Use the imported cas-
tile soap. as the oil In 1t also helps to
soften che leather.
Harness treated In this way will
look like new and give about double
wear. and can be kept looking well
by spoAging with the CASTLE soap ire
Quently.

'CASCARETS' FOR
LIVER; BOWELS
No sick headache, biliOusnesS,
bad taste or constipation
by morning.
Get a 1O-cent box.

Are you keeping your bowels, liver.
and stomach clean, pure and fresh
with Cascarets, or merely forcing q
passageway every few days with
Salts, Cathartic Pills, Castor OIL or
Purgative Waters?
Stop having a bowel waeh-day. Let
Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg
ulate the stomach, remove the sour
and fermenting food and foul gases,
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
constipated waste matter and poisons
In the bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep-never grippe, eicken
or cause any inconvenience, and cost
only 10 cents q box from your store.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
have Headache, Biliousness, Coated
Tongue, Indigestion, Sour Stomach OF
Constipation. Adv.

are subject to whatever monopoly
charge the European laboratories de-
mand for their product.
1T is not possible to procure at the
present time SO much as an additional
gram of radium. One American physi-
clan informs me that after search
of Europe he has been promised q
gram in the course of the next year,
which was the earliest time it was
possible to secure a promise of even
this slight amount.
1T appears to have been established
that radium, when applied in time, is
cure for superficial cancer and some
of the highest authorities advise that
there Is no rearen to doubt the ef-
fectiveness of radium as cure for In.

never knew what was taking place in
her poultry yard until it was too late
to render aid. This reminds the writer
OF similar experience that proved
only little less disastrous to the
chicks. We had a fine lot of brown
Leghorn chicks, nicely feathered out
and growing to beat the Dutch"
They were kept in a house never be-
fore occupied by any kind of poultry
and quite distance from any other
poultry house. Suddenly we became
aware of the fact that they were
lousey Several had died after droop-
ing around with wings dragging. We
had been busting the chicks with
'louse-killer" and were therefore very
much surprised to find their bodies
eaten into raw" spots by the lice.
The powder had possibly lost it's
strength. Something had to be done,
and done quickly. We could think Of
nothing. then, but lard. which we APP
piled in generous quantities. None
was applied to their heads, as no lice
were found there. Their wings were
fairly saturated. They had free range.
however, and plenty of shade. Only a
few Of the chicks died, but good
many were injured. The lard seemed
to take the life out of their wings;
they hung down Imply and dried that
way; the skin between the feathers ap
peared as dry and lifeless as parch-
ment We have never used lard or any
kind Of animal grease on young fowls
since Kerosene is worse. II some
thing of this sort must be used, let It
be olive oil, vaseline or even castor
oil. We have used these with good re-
suits. When hunting lice, always
raise the short feathers on the outside
Of the wing, there may be some lice
on the body of the chick, but as
rule they are most numerous among
the feathers on the outside; that IS,
under the short feathers among the
large wing quilts.
Don't be deceived. When chick or
turkey poult begins to drop without
any apparent cause 1t Is sign Of lice;
when you see the little feathers in the
wings either ruffie up or outgrow the
body, look for lice. When their shanks'
or heads look pale or shrunken, search
for lice.
IL there are any lice or mites on the
premises go after them with ven
geance, they will take possession II
given half chance. Where lice thrive
poultry will not. Don't give the rats
chance. either. Last year rat
crept In at one of our chick house
doors, which was left open a few
inches, and killed nine chicks in less
than half an hour This was caused
by lack of forethought.

"Radium Is found In ores carrying
uranium and vanadium. which are
used extensively in the arts. and the
processes by which 1t Is extracted are

Probably no medical discovery has
ever SO excited the nation as the re-

cures. Even despite the recent fail
ure of the much touted turtle serum
for tuberculosis, the public has been
ready and eager to believe, though
seeming miracles are related.
The United States not only needs

are needed to set up plants where the

not been able to secure a sufficient
amount of the mineral to demonstrate
how far within the body its rays will
be effective. One of the two expert
medical authorities in the United

that with large supply of the min

Because, however, of the small amount
of the mineral available 1t cannot be
used In such experiments, So great is
the necessity for it in cases where a

At present those who have radium
are forced to the awful alternative of
selecting among the patients on whom
1t will be used. Inasmuch as authori-
ties have estimated that one person

Secretary of the Interior Lane said
recently: There appears to be in

$4,000 a gram and all of it has been
