Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, Just when they are most
dangerous, and the result Is neural
sia, stiff neck, sore muscles, or some
times an attack of rheumatism. In
such cases apply Sloan's Liniment. II
stimulates circulation to the sore and
painful part. The blood flows freely
and In o short time the stiffness and
pain leaves. Those suffering from
neuralgia, or neuralgia headache will
find one or two applications OF Sloans
Liniment will give grateful relief
The agoniEing pain gives way to a
tingling sensation of comfort and
warmth and quiet rest and sleep is
possible. Good for neuritis too.

METHOD FOR HARVESTING CORN.

amount to feed, that will vary with
the individual sow, but one should try
to feed enough to get her up In good
thrifty condition for narrowing. The
barley and wheat could well be left
out of the ration after the sows get
up In flesh since they are mainly fat
formers.
/, On the other hand. IL your mature
SOW Is not to raise fall litter and
YOU intend to breed for spring pigs,
turn her out on good pasture and see
that she has plenty of fresh water
and shade with q small allowance Of
barley or oats. Such treatment will
build up her constitution and general
condition as nothing else will. Con-
tinue this method of handling until
time to bring her up In condition for
another seasons breeding. 1t is true
that some breeders carry mature sows
through the summer on pasture alone
with water and shade) In very good
condition, but most breeders prefer to
use small amount Of grain In add
ton to the pasture.
Feed Young Sows.
Young sows will need better feed.
Never turn gil. out with a lot Of
old sows after raising her first litter.
She Will fare badly when she should
have the best OF feed and care to
grow her out as she should be. If
you allow this gilt to run along thin
she will always be understood and
common. Young sows should be lib
orally fed In addition to good pasture
Use such grain mixture as was sug-
gested for the mature SOW that raises
two Filters per year and use plenty
of it, and remember that you are after
bone and muscle, not fat.
The essential thing In the minds of
most breeders Is that brood sows after
weaving have exercise, plenty of pas
ture, shade, fresh water, and enough
concentrated feed, properly balanced.
This should mean strong, healthy,
vigorous SOW in good breeding con-
dition and insures a healthy, vigorous
litter. Brood sows thus handled are
more likely to produce large filters Of
strong, healthy pigs and are certainly
more likely to raise goOd-sized litter.
After all the profitable SOW is the one
that raises seven to ten good strong
pigs rather than the one that farrows
IL 70 1S and only raises three to five
fair pigs.

lNFLAMED UDDER is
DISTURBING FACTOR
Infectious .Garget Is Usually Not
Easily cured-Disease
Spread by Mixers.
(By F. B. HADLEY. Wisconsin Asriuni-
tural College)

(By F. B. IIADLEY. Wisconsin AaricnS-
tural College.)
Garget makes an appearance every
once in while in cows which appar-
emily are in perfect health. The milk
in severe cases Is either stringy or 9TH
erwise altered in character when
drawn and collects a yellowish col
ored sediment on standing. In less
pronounced cases there may be little
visible change In the milk, but an ex-
animation would reveal large num-
Der of germs.
Noninfectious garget is caused by
bruises or other injuries, or by sud-
den congestion Of blood In the udder
as frequently, occurs In heavy mixers
and in 'heifers at first calving. Affect
ed animals usually make complete
recovery If given III pounds of epson
salts and their feed Is restricted to
that of a succulent nature. as-.s =
The cause. OF. infectious ,garget is a
germ or germs. When many. of them
are present in the uddsr pot only is
the mllk:chaHged, asmehtioned above,
bat the ndder itself becomes. hot and
sensitive te- the touch. mr.
The. Importance of the Infectious
form of garget rests In the fact that 1t
is usually not easily rured.and has a
tendency. to sxecur.. Furthermore, the
disease is easily conveyed etof healthy
cows. through the medium OF the. milk
cr's hand or contaminated material of
any kinds-unless precautions are taken
to avoid the. transfer Of the germs.
Temporary relief may be given by
bathing the udder with hot water FOR
one-half hour each morning ana eve
ming. After thoroughly drying the sur
face of the udderr warm cottonseed oil
should be rubbed In with the PALM.
A complete cure Is possible In most
cases only by drying the. cow on at
once so that her system may be free to
Hght the disease-producing germs that
are present In the udder.

BLACKBERRY CANES
NEED SOME PRUNING
II Pinching-0ut System Is Not
Followed, Cut Back One
Fourth or One-HaIf.

The canes Of blackberries are bien-
njsis--that is, they live but two years.
On tsis account 1t is necessary to cut
out the old canes as soon as their
function has been completed, leaving
room for the young canes. The first
year after planting, two or three canes
will appear, which should have the
growing tip pinched out when about
IS inches or feet high. This will
cause the canes to send out several
lateral branches and make stocky
plants, thereby increasing the fruit
producing area of each plant. If the
pinching-out system is not followed,
cut back one-fourth or one-half of the
cane in late winter, depending on the
vigor OF the plant, and at this time re-
move old canes.
