TAKE CARE OF FARM MANURE
Every Reasonable P~recautlon Should
Be Taken to Prevent Loss Of
Fertiiizing Qualities.

Unless barnyard and stable manures
are we'll cared for. a great part of
their value is lost to the farmer.
Many farmers allow practically all
the liquid manure to go to waste. yet
liquid contains more fertiliz-
ing value than solid manure, and
every reasonable p~recaution should
be taken to prevent its loss. The loss
from teaching is large and can be pre-
vented by the use of good floors and
by keeping the stock we'll bedded.
Fermentation Is another source of
loss. 1t cannot be wholly prevented.
but can be held In check by keeping
the manure moist and compact.

World ne speaker evoked more enthu-

BUYING BETTER BEEF SIRES
Continued Good Prices for Cattle VIII
Result In, Greatly Improved
Quality In Our Herds.

The outlook for continued good
prices for stock cattle has had the ef-
feet OF encouraging farmers in the
Southwest tc buy better sires to head
their herds. Recently a farmer paid
without question $140 for a Shorthorn
of proved quality. Fivs years ago he
would have gone straight up in the
air had It been suggested to him that
a sire worth 500 would pay in his
herd. 1t is evident that continued
good prices for cattle will result in
greatly improved quality in our herds

The following rations have been
found valuable in growing draft colts:
Until weaving time. in addition to
the mares milk let 1t have such blue
grass pasture as Is available and give
it access to a box containing a mix

parts. and oil meal. one-half part.
After weaving. there is no better place
for the colt than blue grass or clover
pasture. provided it is supplemented
with light grain ration and the colt
given proper attention. and as a rough
feed when the colt is in the barn dry,
sweet alfalfa or clover hay free from

other roughages as corn stover. oat

(By D. o. THOMPSON. Purdue Expert
ment Station.)
The average farmer has no learned
the fact that to attain the weight Of a
ton at four years a draft colt must
make an average daily gain Of about
one and a quarter pound from the
time 1t is born. Many colts that at
weaving time give promise Of develop
ing into good drafters never become
more than 1900 to 1.50O-pound horses,
largely due to the fact that they were
not properly fed. In the management
of the draft colt it is better not to let
the colt follow the mare while she is
at work, but to keep the colt to a box
stall, making sure that there are nc
loose boards or open places in the
walls in which the colt might injure
itself, and it is well to handle the colt
from birth and get 1t accustomed tc

read these lines. These were not

TRAVELLERS WANT PROHIBITION

Years ago the travelling man got
many orders by taking his customers
out and buying them drinks. In fact
the system was highly approved and
commonly employed. But now comes
the Iowa Union OF Commercial Trav-

calls for national prohibition. The
very men who used to be regarded as
the friends OF liquor are now its enc
mics. Why? Because they know the
saloon business cripples trade. and
when trade is crippled travelling men
can't sell goods. Any travelling man

GROWING WINTER OATS

the department. oats sown n the
southern states during October or the
first half of November may be ex-
pected to produce at least twice the
Yield of grain obtained from spring
seeding.
Winter grain may be sown on land
which produced a crop of cotton. corn,
or the past summer. II this
land has moi already been plowed. 1t
will be better to make the surface
soil fine and loose with the disk or
drag harrow than to delay seeding by
blowing now. Better results are OBJ
tanned from sowing with the drill
than from broadcast seeding. though

seed broadcast on well-prepared land
usually results in a good stand. II

Practical Prescription
Against Stomach Acidity

Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too
much acid. In the beginning the stom-
ach itself is not diseased but If this
acid condition is allowed to continue,
the acids is very likely to eat into tn"
stomach walls and produce stomach
ulcers which may render Il radical sur
gical operation necessary oven TO pro-
long life. Therefore, an "aCid stomach
is really a dangerous condition and
should be treated seriously. 1t is ut
terly useless to take pCpsin and ordi-
nary stomach tablets. The excess acid
or stomach hypcracidity must be ncu-
tralized by the administration of an
efficient antaCid. For this purpose tn"
best remedy is bisurutcd magm"SiI
taken in teaspOOnful doses in a fourth
of glass of water after each meal.
Larger quantities may bC used if ncCCS-
Sary as it is absolutely harmless. BE
