SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma's
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody VIII Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Ia
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy" You will get q
large bottle for about so cents. Every.
body uses this old, famous recipe, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does Ii
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

TO KEEP ENSILAGE
in COLD WEATHER
Blanket or Old Carpet Spread
Over Top Retains Heat and
Keeps Out Cold.

During the extreme cold weather
last winter many complaints were
made by farmers on account of the
ensilage freezing in their silos. Some
of the silos had ring of frozen en-
silage a foot OF more thick and sew
eral feet high all around the inside.
Then, when they wanted to remove a
door, they had to pick the ensilage
away, which was quite job.
To overcome this freezing, measures
must be taken as soon as the frost
appears in the silo. By digging the
ensilage away from the walls and
piling it in the center helps to some
extent, as there is more heat in the
center. When extreme winter sets in
it is a good plan to keep the ensilage
lower at the walls and throw all froz-
en- ensilage in the center. Then spread
a thick blanket or old carpet over the
top.
This covering retains the hea, and
keeps out the cold air, thus making it
much nicer to feed.

MILK SHED IS OF
GREAT IMPORTANCE
Compartment of Some Kind to
Protect Cows Should Be
Erected by Dairymen.
By M. A. COvERDELL.)

Every farmer should build small
shed or compartment of some kind in
which to stand the cows at milking
time The nearer the barn the better.
1t should be we'll ventilated in the
summer and made warm in the winter
months by setting up fodder around it
or lining it with building paper or roof,
ing material.
The shed may be any size desired,
but ample room for one cow is all that
is necessary. Have nails arranged on
the wall for hanging milk pals in
places of safety while the cows are
being led to and from the she'd
If there are any sore teats, caked
udders, or other ailments to be treated,
the milk shed offers a safe place in
which to do it quickly, and any trouble
with the animals in hand will cause
no disturbance among the other mem
bers of the herd. Spraying solution
is also more easily applied in the shed
than anywhere else.
Where one feeds the COWS at milk
ing time, the milk shed removes the
difficulty of feeding the cow that is
being MIXED in sight of the other ami
mails.
Some COWS will fret and worry away
a large portion of their milk if an
other cow is being fed in sight or hear
ing of them. Then, feeding the cow
in the milk shed makes it unnecessary
to use so many feed trOughs.
BY keeping it well cleaned out, and
properly drained, the milk shed is
always ready to lead the cow into and
milk under agreeable and sanitary
conditions. If it be in the summer
time, the shed may be darkened and
the pesky flies thus gotten rid of,
which means a lot of solid comfort
to the cow and the mixer, as well
as a greater amount of milk
With proper ventilation, such a shed
is also much cooler than the swelter-
ing dairy barn, where the animals
breath, combined with the heat of
their bodies, contributes literally to-
ward the maintenance of high tenn
perature.

have been failures in all types of silos,

Washington occupies unique place,
not only in the history of the United

No man of such recent years enjoys

FEEDING ALFALFA
TO FARM HORSES
Must Be Fed With Judgment and
Care-AnimaIs Are Quite
Apt to Eat Too Much.

Alfalfa is splendid horse feed, but
must be fed with judgment and care.
Because of it's palatability, mature
horses are likely to eat too much al
falfa, if permitted to have free access
to it. The average farm horse at hard
work is allowed to eat much more al
falfa and other roughage than he
really needs to maintain his weight.
Horses like alfalfa stems. Refuse
from the cattle racks is very accept

Feed mature horses first and Sec
ond cutting alfalfa which is free from
mold and dust.
A sudden change of feed deranges

Messenger of recent date would indi-
cate that the U. P. is at last waking
up to the needs of the west:
Through the cooperation of the IN
ion Pacific railway officials and the city
commissioners, the grounds adjoining
the Union Pacific station at Junction
City are being converted from an eye
sore into beauty spot. The railway
company owns large plot Of ground
west of the station. Until this spring
its principal feature was tumble-down
frame house backed by an immense
board fence upon which dozen sign
painters had been permitted to give
reign to their favorite color schemes on
advertisements. Both house and fence
have been torn down, and the ground is
being leveled off and graded. A little
park has been made on a triangular
plot that was formed when the street
west of the depot was paved.
