WATERING cows IN WINTER
Best Results Cannot Do Expected
When Animal Is compeiisd TO
Drink From Hole Cut In Ice.

Cows should never be turned out in
very cold weather and forced to so to
a pond or creek for water. The prac-
tice is costly one, The extra feed re-
1uired to counteract the effect of the
chill would soon pay for getting sup

phere chills them to the bone and they
will hurry back to the barn. Often
they will not 90 near the water with
out being driven.
The practice not only is cruel, but it
is expensive. If production record
was kept It would be found that every
time the COWS were turned out In the
cold the yield of the milk would be re-
duced materially. 1t would be on &C.

BEST TIME TO CUT ALFALFA

1t is very easy, in giving advice. tc
see only one or two things and not
see how the advice might run counter
to some other important things. For
instance. We notice in some of our
exchanges the advice to let alfalfa
that is intended for hay for horses
stand till it is well along in bloom,
says Hoard's Dairyman. Now that
may do very well for the physiology Of
the horse but not so well for the phys
iology of the alfalfa plant.
II you are to preserve the alfalfa In
good vigor. you must cut it just as the
shoots for the second crop are start

this is that at that time the mower

anybody else cuts theirs. There will
be almost as many pounds of hay as
II left longer, and there will be more
pounds of disestible feed. Also If left

five pounds in weight. but will lose ten
pounds real food. as this TODD will

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make mistake by flush

well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick Nearly all rheu-
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner-
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or il

sediment, irregular OF passage or at

eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This fa-
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lfthia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
Kidneys, also to neutraliZe the acids
in urine SO it no longer causes irrita-
