The Iowa station found that when

Il pound OF cottouseed meal was
equal TO a 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 its high protein
content and its peculiar flavor il gives
most satisfactory results and is eaten
with greater relish when fed in mix

In localities where alfalfa is the

FRUIT GROWING AND
POULTRY COMBINED
Trees Offer Great Advantage in
Providing Shade and Insect
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

she must perfunctorily be a cracker
jack such as the most Of us do not
possess.
Whether or not we can bring our
laying hens up TO a yield OF $50 eggs
year is not the question however
The thing is TO use the orchard tract
for the running OF fowls OF one kind
or another that will bring in a steady
income so as TO make the place more
profitable at the expenditure OF but
little more time and money in the
overhead charges

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-
pcnse. Some OF the advantages in
keeping them are:
First--The sheep ia a dual purpose
animal. producing both wool and NUT
ton.
Seoond-The initial expenditure is
small Every farmer can well AFFORD
the investment OF the necessary cap
ital In few sheep.
Thlrd-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
shelter shed to protect them from
the winter winds is alone sufficient.
Fifth-Weed destruction represents
another asset. Sheep will eat and rel
fish 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 any
other animal without thereby endan'
gering successful results.

Chancellor j f. Martineau dismiss
ed the petition of B A Spreading of
Cotter for an injunction to prevent
State Auditor NJ. F. Dickinson from l.
suing warrants on the common school
fund OF Arkansas The dismissal Was
coincident with the oyerruIing of a
demurrer filed by Auditor Dickinson
on the ground that the petition did not
state sufficient cause for action. At
orney Allyn Smih Of Gotter represent
ing the plaintiff appealed the case to
the Arkansas Supreme Court
The suit attacking the state aid
fund WAS filed by Senator w. q. Ed
mondson. His petition for an inJunc
ton against the issuance OF warrants
on this fund was granted, but an ar
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
Both salts were based ON the ground
that the constitution of Arkansas pro
vides that ne money shall be paid from
the state treasury tor any purpose un
less a specific appropriation has be"n
made by the previous Legislature The
last Legislature did not appropriate
money for either the common school
or the high school fund
Chancellor MartineaH said he DIS
missed the petition on the ground that
to pay out this fund will do no oae
harm and has been done for 80 YEAR
or more without appropriations This
he said is in conflict with his former
ruling Although no money can -

OF the zinc and lead that Is being
used in the manufacture of cartridges
and bullets for the warning nations OF
Europe, will soon be furnishing SALT
petre I'm commercial quantities for tho
manufacture of powder with which to
hurl them. Saltpetre hes jumped from
six cents pound year ago to 10
cents q pound at this time. The IN
creased price was caused by the IN
creased demands on powder manufac-
turers of this country by the belliger'
emit nations. A representative OF one
OF the largest powder concerns In the
United States that furnishes this field
with its powder made the statement
a few days ago that a higher price for
saltpetre was anticipated. Prospec-
are now investigating saltpetre bear
ing clays with view OF pressing min
ing operations as soon as necessary
mining and refining equipment neces-
sary to the industry can be installed.
A late find of saltpetre-bearing clay
near Rush. in Marion county. by Pierce
and Palmer, two mining men of that
camp. indicates that this chemical salt
so necessary in the manufacture OF
powder can be mined and refined at n
profit in this field at the price IL is
now bringing on the market A few
days ago they made an experiment ia
refining some of the clay which thev
found. by crude process, and recoy-
cred two pounds of saltpetre from l6
pounds of clay. At this rate of recov-
cry saltpetre mining and refining will
prove an exceedingly profitable indus
try. for the clay lies in big deposits, Is
easily mined and large quantities of Y

Treatment of hogs for mango should

tar dips are on the market Most of
these are quite satisfactory II OF sutli
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. l6 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
tie oil and thoroughly churning the
mixture. Water in different sections
differs very greatly in the way it will
combine with soap. II 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 1t.
After treatment do not put the hogs
