SPRING CARE or LIVE STOCK
Great Mistake Made by Many In Feed
ing Out All Of the SuccuIent
Feeds During Winter.

Every year we see the necessity Of
having an abundance Of ensilage and
roots to carry the live stock well
through the spring months. 1t is q
great mistake to feed out all of the
succulent feeds during the fall and
early winter and compel the farm an
imals to consume the dry, inferior fod
ders during the spring when they are
falling away in condition. Neither is
it good policy to turn the animals out
to pasture too early in the spring.
1t belongs to the penny-wise-and
pound-foolish policy that too many OF
us are practicing. 1t is much better
to spend few dollars for grain, and
house feed our animals longer than
to expose them to the cold blasts Of
late winter and early spring. Sound
policy dictates this and humanity also.
Lice seem to be more troublesome
during the spring when the farm ami
mails are kept inside until warn
weather comes than at any other tins
during, the year, and as soon as an an
imal is discovered to be lousy, the lice
should be destroyed at once.
We have found strong decoction
of tobacco an excellent wash for the
purpose of destroying lice, but during
recent years we have been using mix
ture of crude Oil and crude carbolic
acid, and find that this does the. work
in very thorough and effective man
ner.
On the cattle we supply it with a
hand sprayer, but for the hogs we pre-.
fer to use brush or to saturate few
gunny sacks or old blankets and wind
them around post in the hog yards
and allow the hogs to make their tot.
lets by rubbing against these posts.
They will soon learn how to apply
the mixture where it is most needed
and will keep themselves free from
these pests if their beds and houses
are kept clean and disinfected.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING ScALPS, DAMDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation OF the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam
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 q
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 well to place q 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 month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment
for women's hair.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
man could suffer from coffee drink

inconsistencies. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.

caused the trouble l would not be-
heve it, and still drank coffee until /
CO I'd not leave my room.
Then my doctor. who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.

TO SPREAD MANURE ON LAND
Fertilizer Should Be Spread on Soil
When Grass Is Growing as Loss of
Nitrogen Is Less.

A most excellent way to use fine
manure is to disk it in land where
clover or grass is to be sown in the
late summer or fall 1t is spread on
the land after it is narrowed down
fairly we'll and then disked in Just be-
fore making the final preparation and
sowing the seed. This method, accord
ing to Southern Agriculture, is not
often practicable, however Unless the
bad practice is followed of holding it
through the summer but little manure
is on hand in the fall and the rush of
work at that time often makes it i'm.
possible to haul it out then.
Through the summer and at other
seasons it may be desirable to spread
manure on meadow or pasture land
and allow it to lie for a year, or for
years, before blowing. This is more
wasteful than where the land can be
plowed reasonably soon, but conve.
-nience or the need of pasture or of
meadow that should stand another
year or two may, and often does,
justify the practice. 1t should be
applied at time when the grass is
growing. or near such time. as the
loss of nitrogen will be less then.
Sometimes disking and narrowing the
land at the time will be good prac-
tice. This will help work the manure
into the soil. will cultivate the land
and will make seed bed if resolving
is intended.

gress. Urging that this section of the

were today sent by the Philadelphia
Clearing House Association to the chair
man of the Judiciary Committees of the
Senate and House, Senators Penrose and
oliver and members of the House of Rep
resentatives from Philadelphia.
Attention is called to the fact that If
this section is Incorporated into law 1t
will cause an entire rearrangement of
the directors of many banks and trust
companies and men who have n wide
business experience will be barred from
action as directors, thus causing a serious
blow to be dealt the institutions. At

about to be placed In operation these
men will be needed more than ever bfore,
say the bankers.
