PROPER TOOLS FOR DAIRYING
Manure Spreader Is One Of Most
Profitable lmplements-Silo 10
Regarded as Essential.

1t is impossible to give specific
answer to the question as to what tools
a dairyman should possess. Much de-
pends upon a mans pocketbook and
the possibility Of his changing work
with neighbors to get the use Of their
tools, and upon labor conditions in
general. For instance, manure
spreader is one OF the most profitable
implements for a farmer with any
amount of dressing to distribute. Yet
it is possible to handle the manure In
the old way If a man simply cannot
buy a spreader.
If you are dairying you ought to
have silo, and that means a silage
cutter and an engine, unless you can
arrange with a neighbor to do the
work. II you raise potatoes in any
quantity planter, sprayer, and sure
ly, a digger, will perform the work
most economically. Yet it is possible
to get along without these. OF course,
you would not expect to compete very
successfully with growers who have
such improved machinery. This class
of tools is in use only portion of the
year, and it ties up your capital to your
disadvantage If you have but little to
begin with. There are certain. things
that every farmer is expected to have,
such as wagons, plows, harrows, NOW
ing machine, hayrake, etc.

START TRAINING BULL EARLY
inserting Nose Ring Is Simple and
Short operatIon--composltion
Metal Does Not Rust.

A bulls training must be started
early. A light weight ring should be
inserted in his nose when he is from
nine to twelve months old, but under
no circumstances should he be led by
the ring until three or four months
after so that the nose can heal up
well.
Inserting the nose ring is a simple
and short operation when properly
done. First tie the bull securely to a
post by the head and horns, then take
common trocar and cannula, well
sterilized, and push 1t through the
thinnest part of the membrane that
separates the nostrils, withdraw the
trocar, leaving the cannula in the open
ing. Put one end of the opened ring
in the pointed end of the cannula and
then carefully withdraw cannula,
which brings the ring into the open
ing and after closing ring and putting
in the screw, the job is done. Before
the operation, the ring should be ex-

CAUSES RUSH FOR TIMBER
Great Demand for Wood Product to
Make Guncotton for Use
In War.

Kane, Pa.-The enormous demand
for acetate of lime, used in the manu-,
facture Of guncotton, has resulted in
the greatest rush in history for Penn
sylvania timber lands. Chemical manu-
facturers are buying all available tim
Der tracts throughout this section, but,
have met with much competition from,
the New York and Pennsylvania COM
pany, which has paper mills at Lock
Haven and Johnsonburg. the mill at.
the latter place being the largest in
the United States. This company has
just closed a deal for 5000 acres Of.
timber lands near Bradford, over the
Mexican county line.
During the last two months the pa,
per company has purchased thousands
Of acres of timber land throughout the
country, the most important being To-,
Gated in the states of Washington and

FEED CALVES N1sTANcAIoNs
Discouraues Desire to Suck One An
others Ears-Wooden Device ls
Entirely Satisfactory.

There are several good reasons fol-
feeding calves in stanchions. The
calves can be fed their milk, then
their grain, and after they have eaten
the grain they will lose their desire
to suck one another's ears. A
stanchion made of wood will be entire
ly satisfactory. 1t should be made
from to az feet high and is to "a
inches from center to center, with the
neck space to inches wide. It is
built in the same manner as the old
style rigid stanchion. The calf should
be fastened while eating, but loosened
from the stanchions after it has eaten
its grain. The calf pens and stanchions
should be built in the south side Of the
barn, where plenty of sunshine and
light can be had. There is no disin-
fectant that viii take the place Of
sunshine.

amined and all rough edges carefully
filed down so there is nothing to irri-
tate the nose and keep 1t raw and
bleeding.
When the animal is about two to
two and one-half years old, the light
ring should be removed and a good
heavy ring inserted. Iron rings should
not be used as they rust and keep the
bulls nose raw and sore. The best
are made Of brass or bronze compost
ton metal and do not rust.
In tying up the bull by the nose,
one should be careful to avoid fright
ening him, causing him to jump back
and slit the ring out Of his nose. It
is safest to pass the tie chain through
the nose ring and then up and around
his horns and when he jerks back most
of the strain comes on the horns and
not at the nose.

Despite the letters produced by Walsh in his effort to show that Rockefeller was fully aware of every event transpirng during the period of disturbance. Rockefeller sticks to his previous contention that the affairs of the Colorado Iron X Fuel Company were entirely in the hands of the company officials and he knew noth- ing beyond the adopted policy which was transmitted to him in skeleton form and totally devoid of details The continued badgering by Walsh
 brought forth a remonstrance from several members who insisted that Rockefeller be given a fair show in submitting his testimony.

BRITISH PRESS GLOOMY
 OVER RUSSIAN DEFEATS

LONDON, May 21.-The London press is filled with gloomy forebodng over the almost complete failure of the Russians to hold their own against the Austrian and German forces, and the majority are inclined to the belief that Russia is all but beaten Reports of the recent reverses in Galicia and the northwest provinces are reported as causing no little uneasiness in of ficial circles az it is indicated that the Russians are totally unable to cope with the enemy. While the authorities are incliaed to scoff at the idea that Russia can be beaten it is clearly in dicated that the Slavs are in bad straits.
 The capture of Riga is generally conceded to be the hardest blow that Russia has yet suffered and the ap-
