Remedy For ScaIy Leg.

Scaly leg. which is caused by a para
site working under the scales on the
legs of the chicken. is usually con-
tracted at this season of the year while
the chicks are roosting with their feet
In the filth of a hover which is not
properly cared for, 1t Is easier to
clean the hovers often than to cure the
birds after they have contracted the
disease. Should the birds contract the
disease We have found the following
the most effective remedy: Equal parts
lard and sulphur made into salve and
rubbed on the legs. This will cure the
disease and will not destroy the color

and if used at all should be used spar
ingly.
The bull should not be allowed to run
with the herd, but should be given
certain amount of outdoor exercise
each day.
The community bull proposition, to
work out successfully. must have absO-
lutte honesty and fairness among the
members of the association. In some
cases where a member has had abor-
ton in his herd and failed to report
it to the director of his block prac-
tically all the cows in this block have
been seriously affected. theoretically
the proposition is good one. especial
ly in those sections of the country
where dairying is new and the herds
not Of sufficient size to warrant the
purchase and maintenance of a herd
bull. When a man reaches the ten COW
herd believe he should own q sire pri-
vately, so that he can control any ad-
verse conditions.
In the selection of bull great care
should be exercised. as a bull not only
transmits good qualities. but bad ones
as well. Good production is. of course,
the most essential feature, but care
should be taken to look into the family
history little, especially on the dams
side. and see what kind of disposition
Is there and whether the conformation
was desirable. Faulty udders and poor
and badly placed teats are characters
tics handed down from generation to
generation and when once established
are mighty hard to wipe out.

Animal Should Be Well Fed on Grain

The probabilities are that a commu-
nifty bull is harder worked than the
average bull owned privately, says
Hoard's Dairyman. For this reason a
sufficient grain ration should be given
to insure a strong. vigorous condition.
The amount of grain will vary accord
Ing to the individuality Of the animal
and the season in which the greater
amount of work would come. This "a
ton should be of such a nature as to
insure the upkeep of the animals bod

five to ten pounds per day. A few roots
might be used to keep the animals d.

Chicks and Fowls Must Be Protected
From the Summer Sun.

To remain healthy and vigorous both
fowls and chicks must be protected
from the burning rays Of the sun, writes
M. K. Boyer in the New York Sun
To deprive the stock of sunlight would
be fatal. A house situated where it
does not get the sunlight is unfit for
fowls. but If it gets the sun for only
a few hours day it may be used. Ma
ture birds soon degenerate away from
the sun. and chicks are sickly when
grown with little sunlight. But no
fowl can thrive when long exposed to

AN OPTICAL ENIGMA.
Why is II the Human Eye Sees Things
Rioht Side Up7

Just why we are able TO see things
right side up Is a mystery which
science has not yet been able to ex-
plain.
We know that the human eye In
wolves the same optical principles as a
camera. Owing to the fact that light
always travels I'm a straight line and
never in a curve. the rays which EN-
anate from any object within our
range of vision have to descend and
ascend In order 10 travel into the mar
row opening In the eye which CORE
spends to the cameras lens.
These rays finally rench a point
where they intersect Continuing on In
straight lines. their relative position be-
comes just the reverse OF what they
were when they left the object seen.
Thus the image register on the retina
of your eye is topsy turvy, just as 1t is
on the Photographic plate In a camera.
If you are looking at house. for in
stance the image your eye gets will
show the chimneys down below, the
foundation walls up above. and so on.
But the impression your brain gets
reveals the house right side up unless
you happen TO be afflicted with rare
disorder. which results 10 everything
always appearing topsy turvy.
During the enthusiastically short pc
Rod required 10 fash the image seen
from the eyes retina TO the brain ell
the light rays which created the image
are reassembled and put back in their
proper places. so that the brain sees
the object as II really is and not In the
topsy turvy form it was registered on
the retina. Just how this miracle is
performed is what science would like
10 dnd out--New York American.

Tobacco heart is condition well

These are the arteries OF the heart It.

That nicotine Is a powerful poison
has long been known. but there has
been a wide divergence OF opinion as

nicotine or not The investigations Of

does. The quantity of nicotine abb

SOWING CLOVER SEED.
A Common Method is Broadcasting and
Following With a Harrow.

Following With a Harrow.
/ Clover should invariably be sown in
the spring. and under normal conditions
comparatively early, says the Michigan
Farmer. Broadcasting the seed and fol-
lowing with harrow has been frequent
| ly advised, and is usually successful.
Clover should not be sown too deep, and
| yet ii is desirable to SOW it sufficiently
| deep so it will neither blow out nor
dry out easily. Under most conditions
either using the grass-seed attachment
TO the drill or mixing the seed with
the grain il TO be recommended. Ex
cellent stands of grass have been obtain.
de by mixing the red clover with the
grain and sowing the balance of the
grass seed mixtures broadcast. If grass
seed is mixed with the grain and sown
with drill. the drill should not be run
more than one or two inches deep.
The amount OF seed per acre will vary
slightly with the method of seeding and
the purity and terminating power OF the
seed. II is believed that in general too
little rather than too much seed is sown.
If clover is sown separately IL should be
at the rate of from eight 10 ten pounds
of red or mammoth, from four TO six
of alsike and form three TO four Of white
clover.
The clovers are sown with a so-called
nurse crop. and opinions differ as TO
which Is the best Whatever grain is
used should be sown somewhat thinner
than when no clover seed Is sown, as
the thinner seeding gives the small Glow
CT and grass plants better chance to
grow. Spring wheat, barley, oats. win
ter rye, winter wheat and fax are all
used as nurse crops Wherever clover
is sown in the spring on winter grain
il is well to harrow lightly before and
after the clover seed is sown broad
cast, or the latter may be put in with
double disc or shoe grain drill The Sc
lection Of the grain with which the clover
is sown must be determined quite large |
" by the crops best adapted TO the soil |
and the needs OF the farm.

1t is noticeable that whenever Kaiser
Wilhelm makes his appearance with one
army or the other, that army makes a
notable display of daring and fighting
spirit. Which leads to the corroboration
of the belief that the kaiser is the heart
and soul of the German fighting wing.
Without his impetuous spirit, Germany
would be considerably handicapped in the
conduct of its side OF the warfare.
