Lambs in the Corn

It Is good practice to turn the
lambs into the corn field as soon as
the corn is matured enough SO It
cannot be hurt by them. They should
Of course be turned in while the weeds
are yet young and tender. They will
then crop them down and in doing so
will render the most munificent serv-
ice to the field. They will also crop
off the lower leaves of the corn and in
this way will obtain much food
without probably doing any harm to
the corn. The shade furnished by
the corn when the weather Is unus-
ually hot will be good for the lambs.
When lambs newly weaned are
turned into such fields it may be neces-
sary to supplem ent the food given to
them. It probably will be necessary.
The weeds grow much in the shade.
and consequently will be more insipid
than if they grow in bright sunshine.
Even when newly weaned lambs are
turned into Craze on good pasture.
they should as rule be given sup
plement Of grain. When they pas
ture amid corn, II thus fed, the lambs
will not only be directly benefited but
the fertility added to the land, or
some of it, will be proportionately
helpful.

It is claimed that the range grasses
do not equal those in the districts
where native lambs are grown in I'm
parting desirabl flavor to the flesh
of lambs. Lambs fattened on the
range are often driven long distances
to shipping point, and subjected to
several days of scant food and water
supply while enroute to market. AL
though these lambs are usually rested
a few days at the feeding stations, 1t
is believed, nevertheless. that the
hardships undergone In reaching the
market are in part responsible for the
criticism brought against the flavor.
color and juiciness Of their meat. The
fact that the best native lambs are
conceded to be better than the best
western lambs for the meat trade
should be matter of great encourage
ment to their producers. However,
producers as whole should be chiefly
concerned about the merit Of their
average product, rather than that Of
a few exceptional individuals that sur
pass anything else of their class. Rela-
tive to this fact the buyers for the
packers assert emphatically that the
average native lamb Is much inferior
to the average western lamb. This
statement should be seriously con-
sidered by producers of natives In
general, because when linked with the

Rabies Not Limited
To Any Season

According to DR.. o. Mcdaniel, Dog
Days" do not influence the occurrence
of rabies. The important point how
ever, Is that anyone bitten by dog
suspected Of being rabid, regardless
of the season Of the year, should re-
ceive proper attention.
The suspected dog should be kept
under observation for at least two
weeks. If it remains we'll, rabies is
excluded. If 1t becomes sick or dies,
the head should be examined by the
Pasteur Department Of the State
Board Of Health, and the individuals
bitten should report at the depart
ment for treatment.
Rabies Is usually fatal to dogs In
from three to five days after the first
symptoms are observed. individuals
bitten by rabid dogs. unless under
treatment, become sick in from five
to nine weeks. The popular belief
that individuals may develop symp-
toms several months or years later is
as false as the belief that Dog Days
cause mad dogs.

Buttermilk as a Beverage

A writer in THE Dairy" has the
following testimonial of buttermilk az
beverage:
"a friend of mine has returned to
America after long residence abroad.
I asked him what he appreciated most
in 'Ould Ireland And to my wonder and
surprise, he answered Immediately.
'buttermilk.' / laughed, but in all
seriousness he went on to enlarge on
the merits of this homely fare in a
manner that aroused my interest in
what had been to me an unthought Of
matter until then, and if by this letter
I can interest your readers in any
thing like xha same way shan Do

ward in the knowledge and assurance
that the health and happiness of the
community have been benefited there
by.

enthusiastically that the health and
longevity the rural population of tres
land enjoy are larkely attributable to
their liberal use Of buttermilk?' I had
not known this, but he soon con.
WINGED me that there were good
grounds for his statement, and among
others he quoted the great continental
scientist Metchnikoff that the greatest
enemy Of old age and senile decay was
buttermilk. This he proved by quot
ing kellogg, who holds that about rs
per cent of all digestive troubles can|
be benefited or cured by the use of
this health giving drink and much
to the same effect am thor
oughlys convinced that II people real
| lied the value of this wholesome
product Of our farms it would at least
once a day find an honored place on
our tables, to the exclusion Of moro

PERFUME FOR PHYSICAL ALL
MENTS. ~

According to the Medical Record
the time Is approaching when odors
Of all kinds, agreeable and the reverse,
will be made use of In therapeutics.
The digestive apparatus Is strongly
affected by doors, according to the
writer, and nausea is q common symp-
tom Of this action. Several examples
are given Of the action of odors. For
example, severe faintness Is some
times observed to overcome persons
upon their entrance into a room in
which tuberoses are kept. Headache
is often produced by the doors eman-
ating from the honeysuckle, lily, rose
Of Sharon. or carnation. The odor
from freshly ground coffee produces
In some individuals sickening sensa-
ton, followed by nausea, and in rare
instances vomiting, but usually it Is
agreeable and appetizing." The meth
Cd Of treatment would be in the form
of atomization, and the benef1cent eff
feet largely exerted upon the nervous
system. 1.-THE doors of vanilla and he
litrope are credited with possessing
soothing influence over persons SUBJ
jected to attacks Of nervousness. The
use of toilet water in the form of
spray will often restore those exhaust
ed with the cares of business, social,
or domestic duties"

A good poultry house need not be

1t should be made Of double thick

tar paper, battened down over all the
cracks, the essential thing being to
prevent any draughts whatever.
The roosting closet should be sep
arate from the laying room and
scratching shed. Hens should never
be fed in the roosting closet nor
should the floor Of the closet be COW
cred with straw, as this gathers
dampness. Many successful poultry
men do not use dropping boards at
all but clean the floor every day.
which is, all things considered, prefer
able. OF course, If the droppings are
allowed to accumulate on the moor
the conditions will be as bad as II
allowed to accumulate on the drop
ping boards. Cleanliness 1s always
essential and whether the dropping
boards are used or not the roostlns
house should be kept perfectly clean
and dry at all times.
BY sprinkling E. little dry earth or
sand on the floor the droppings may
be removed in a few moments ana
the floor can be kept clean with very
little effort.
The laying nests should be ar
ranged in an apartment adjoining the
roosting closet and here the BIRDS
may be fed. This laying and scratch
ing shed should be entirely open to
the south, the front being covered
with wire to prevent the Intrusion OF
rats and other rodents.
A box Of grit and box OF dry road
dust should be always kept IN the
scratching shed. No matter how care
full one may be fowls cannot be Kept
entirely free from verm1n without
having constant access to dry dust
It is their natural way Of protecting
themselves from vermin and II they
are confined without being allowed to
dust themselves they are sure to be
affected.
Nests should be placed at least two
feet above the floor with a board so
placed on an incline that the mems
can easily walk up to the nest instead
Of being compelled to fly up. Young
pullets heavy with egg are OFTEN IN
jured by flying up to, and down from
nests placed too high.
Nests should be arranged Win

may be frequently removed and the
nests kept perfectly clean. The nest

any stuff at hand, or to suit the
builder.
Many successful poultrymen prefer
dirt floors, but unless these are prop
erly constructed they will become
damp and muddy and a source or
great annoyance to the person IN
charge of the flock and a danger to
the health of the birds themselves. A
dirt floor should be filled in above the
level of the ground at least four in
ches with very coarse sand or gravel
or broken rock and on top of this
three or four inches of light soil, the
whole covered with a heavy coating
of dry sand.
A floor Of this kind will resist
dampness unless the house is built
in a low or swampy place. No matter
where located the ground should be
thoroughly drained on all sides OF the
house on the outside. OF course the
ideal dry dirt floor is made by first lay
ing tiled drains at the depth OF about
six inches, eighteen inches apart tie

out on each side from six to elS u
feet. This will absolutely prevent
