Certain purists have risen IN pro.

maintain that the Criterion poster

The male partner in the writing of the

But the advertisement side doubtless
saw the possibilities OF a strictly
grammatical quarrel. All the same Il

Three Spoons FULL" as arousing the
furious comment of the amateur
pedant.
The doctor orders us three spoon

should employ three spoons in the
simple measurement. You may EN-.

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-
pense. Some of the advantages in
keeping them are:
First-The sheep is a dual purpose
animal, producing both wool and NUT
ton.
Second-The initial expenditure is
small. Every farmer can we'll afford
the investment Of the necessary cap
ital in few sheep.
Third-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 sudacient.
F1fth-Weed destruction represents
another asset. Sheep will eat and rel
fsh 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
eneep than In the case Of almost any
other animal without thereby endan-
sertng successful results.

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
Farm. The paid experts have fig
ured out that nice young hen prop
erly chaperoned and provisioned
ought to return a net profit of 50
year although in all our travels we
have never been able to discover such
a remarkable performer in the hen
family. 1t costs at least dollar
year to run hen and when such q
layer can return a gross income of S.
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 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 steady
income so as to make the place more
profitable at the expenditure of but
little more time and money in the
overhead charges
1t seems easy enough to run 100
hens on each acre without materially
interfering with the regular orchard
work so that the one essentially is
to get at it and do it.
One man is carrying an annual flock
of 600 birds to the acre where there
are no trees and we do not see how
the simple matter of trees has any
thing to do in curtailing the PROPOSE
ton when as matter of fact they Of
fer a great advantage through the
shade and the insect food they are all
the time propagating.

HEAD OF ITALY's NAVY

Prince Louis of Savoy, duke of the
Abruzzi. admiral of the feet of Italy.
is known to Americans largely through
the American associations of his in
teresting career. He has made several
visits to this country, one of them
resulting in love affair which, after
worldwide publicity, left the duke
still bachelor. He is distinguished
as an explorer and mountain climber,
and at the time of the earthquake
which destroyed Messina, as we'll as
last January, when Avezzano and its
vicinity were roughly shaken, he was
a leader in relief work.
From his earliest youth the duke
has made his life one Of activity and
of service. He entered the navy and
came to the United States on board
an Italian warship when he was eight
cen years old. He became so inter-
ested on his first trip here that he re-
turned some five or six years later.
and then he came again about ten
years ago On this latter tour of the

CRUDE PETROLEUM
AS NANCE REMEDY
Hogs Afflicted Should Be Given
Thorough Treatment at In
tervaIs Of Eight Days.

H3y NJ. H. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station)
Treatment of hogs for mango should
begin with vigorous scrubbing with
brush, soap and soft water so as to
remove the crust. A veriety of coal
tar dips are on the market. Most of
these are quite satisfactory if of sufti-
cient strength and warm enough
about 10 degrees, but do not boil.
The hog should be given a good
thorough soaking in the dip, not less
than two minutes. The hog must 20
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 1t thoroughly
An effective dip can be made from
crude petroleum as follows: -Four gal.
Ions crude oil. 16 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
the 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 II.
After treatment do not put the hogs
back Into lousy or NANCY pens.

COTTONSEED MEAL
GOOD FOR HORSES
Satisfactory Results Secured by
Feeding at Rate of One Pound
Per Head Daily.

In answer to the inquiry, lis cotton
seed meal good feed for horses?" Pro-
fessor Foster of the New Mexico ex-
pertinent station states that it is. when
fed in small quantities in combination
with other concentrates. A number
of southern experiment stations and
horse owners report satisfactory re-
suits from feeding it to mares. colts,
and driving horses at the rate of one
pound per head daily, mixed with
ground corn or other grain; and to
work horses at the rate of two pounds
per head daily, fed in the same man
ner.
The Iowa station found that when
fed in connection with corn and oats,
IL pound of cottonseed meal was
equal to Ia 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 it's high protein
content and its peculiar flavor. it gives
most satisfactory results and is eaten
with greater relish when fed in a mix
ture with some Of the grains, such as
corn, oats, milo or barley.
In localities where alfalfa is the
principal roughage. cottonseed meal
is not needed to properly balance the
ration for farm horses. Any of the
grains mentioned are sufficient. Its
value is more apparent where farmers
must rely mainly on timothy or prairie
hay or some Of the coarse folders for
roughage.
