C0TTONSEED MEAL
GOOD FOR HORSES
Satisfactory Results Secured by
Feeding at Rate of One Pound
Per Head Daily.

In answer to the inquiry, is cotton
seed meal good feed for horses?" Pro-
lessor Foster of the New Mexico ex-
pertinent station states that it is, when
fed in small quantities in combination
with other concentrates. A number
Of southern experiment stations and
horse owners report satisfactory re-
suits from feeding it to mares, colts,
and driving horses at the rate of one.

ground corn or other grain; and to

per head daily, fed in the same man.
ner.
The Iowa station found that when
fed In connection with corn and oats,
IL pound Of cottonseed meal was
equal to Id pound of linseed oil meal
in maintaining the weight of the
horses and enabling them to do work;
and that on account of being less lax
alive than the oil meal, it is better
adapted to the needs of horses at hard
work. Because of it's high protein
content and its peculiar flavor, 1t gives
most satisfactory results and is eaten
with greater relish when fed in mix
ture with some of the grains, such as
corn. oats, milo or barley.
In localities where alfalfa is the
principal roughage, cottonseed meal
is not needed to properly balance the
ration for farm horses. Any of the
grains mentioned are sufficient. Its
value is more apparent where farmers
must rely mainly on timothy or prairie
hay or some of the coarse folders for
roughage.

CRUDE PETROLEUM
AS NANCE REMEDY
Hogs Afflicted Should Be Given
Thorough Treatment at In
tervaIs of Eight Days.

By NJ. II. REYNOLDS, Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Treatment of hogs for mango should
begin with vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water SO as to
remove the crust. A yeriety of coal
tar dips are on the market Most of
these are quite satisfactory il of suffi-
cient strength and warm enough
about 10 degrees, but do not boil
The hog should be given good
thorough soaking in the dip, not less
than two minutes. The hog must go
under head and all at least once.
Treatment must usually be repeated
one or more times at intervals of
eight days. Treat the whole herd and
do it thoroughly
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows Four gal
Ions crude oil, 16 gallons of water and
one pound of soap. The soap should
be dissolved in the water by heating
An emulsion is then made by adding
the oil and thoroughly churning the
mixture. Water In different sections
differs very greatly in the way it will
combine with soap. If this amount of
soap does not give a good emulsion
simply add more soap. Avoid oily
dips In cold weather. While the hogs
are taking the dip, thoroughly clean
and then disinfect the pens. In case
Of true mango the fence posts, trees
and everything against which the hogs
rub must also be disinfected. Use a
strong disinfectant and plenty Of it..
After treatment do not put the hogs
back into lousy or NANCY pens.

LITTLE Difference IN TIME

A prominent lawyer tells this tale
of the hills of Kentucky. He had

Of a big land case, and after the

room had decided to take trip up

eled the paths and narrow mountain
roads till he found himself at the
end of several days Journey about
forty or fifty miles from the railroad.
1t was about noon. the lawyer judged,
for his watch had run down and he
could not be exact. But in the midst
of this deep contemplation the law
yer came upon an old darkey sitting
upon a bowlder alongside the road.

For its construction a circular piece
of fairly thick wood will be required
and three holes made in it in the po-
sitions indicated in diagram A on the
right of the Illustration. Too these
holes are fastened three pieces Of fine
copper wire, the ends of which are
carried upwards and twisted into a
loop by which the holder may be
hung up.
The surface of the wood is covered
with dark green silk, the material be-
ing turned over and fastened on, un-
derneath with tiny tacks. and dia-
gram illustrates this.
To the edges of the wood soft silk
of an old gold color is fastened on,
also with tiny tacks. The material is
allowed to hang downwards and then
gathered together in the center and
finished off with gold silk tassel. To
complete the holder, narrow dark
green silk braid is fastened on round
the edge of the wood with brass-head-
ed nails of fancy pattern driven in
close together.

FRUIT GROWING AND
POULTRY COMBINED
Trees Offer Great Advantage in
Providing Shade and Insest
Food for Fowls.

The most important problem for the
digestion of our orchard people is to
get more money out of their places.
For years we have urged the advisable
ity of these people taking up poultry
culture as an adjunct to their business
and We desire to again insist upon the
necessity of considering this matter
seriously. says Denver Field and

The thing is to use the orchard tract

Resting Place of Old Maid Who Be-

Mary and Nora had lived as faith

were two old maids. One of these

SOME ADVANTAGES
OF SHEEP RAISING
Animal Produces Both Wool and
Mutton - Rapid Monetary
Returns Are Received.

A few sheep should be kept on
every farm as they will return good
profits with very little care or ex-
pense Some OF the advantages in
keeping them are:
First-The sheep is dual purpose
animal, producing both wool and NUT
ton.
Second-The initial expenditure is
small. Every farmer can we'll afford
the investment of the necessary cap
ital in few sheep.
Third-Rapid monetary returns are
received, the wool clip and the lamb
crop being salable annually.
Fourth-Expensive buildings are by
no means necessary. A warm lambing
pen is required, but for the aged sheep
a shelter shed to protect them from
the winter winds is alone sufficient.
Fifth-Weed destruction represents
another asset. Sheep will eat and rel
ish almost every class of weed.
Sixth-Sheep admittedly improve
soil fertility. Their manure Is rich
and uniformly distributed
Seventh-Except at certain seasons
of the year, less time and attention
need be bestowed upon the care of
sheep than in the case of almost airy
other animal without they.i. endan.

The Separate Coat.

1t is much more of a problem than
it used to be, the question of the right
separate coat to go over the morning,
afternoon or evening dress. When the
number has to be reduced to its low
est terms because of shortened purse
strings or because one may need a
garment that can be worn without
change during the entire day, there
is much difficulty to find something
that is right, modish and at the same
time in place.
