TREATING WOUNDS OF STOCK
Disinfeotant of Some Kind Should Be
Handy in Every Barn-Potassium
Permanoanate Is Good.

There should be in every barn
quantity of disinfectant that may be
readily mixed with water and used in
the cases of wounds sustained by any
of the stock. Potassium permanganate
is excellent, and can be purchased at
any drug store in powder form and
used in water In amounts such as will
color the water light red. 1t has the
advantage over many antisepics of
not irritating a wound. But any OF
the commercial antiseptics will keep Il
wound free from infection if used ear
ly, and the formation of large running
sores will thus be prevented.
A scratch or wound small as 1t may
be at first may quickly become infect
ed and then it will not heal until the
infection has been freed from the
germs that are causing the trouble. But
If treatment is begun at once the trou-
BILE can usually be prevented by bath
Ing two or three times a day with an
antiseptic solution which will keep the
wound clean so that 1t will rapidly
heal
The best home treatment of old
sores is to battle them two or three
times a day with hydrogen peroxide
and syringe them out with warm wa
ter followed by small quantity of the
same antiseptic.

grain is favored for them, and shred
ded fodder is advised.
Shetland mares are remarkably pro-
life, are bred regularly every year.
The colts are naturally hardy, the po-
MES are seldom sickly. They are ready
for any ordinary work at two and a
half years
G. A. Waugh, writing in Country
Life, says: Mature ShetIands sell all
the way from $75 upward, with the
bulk of the animals going at $125 At
the latter figure there is clear profit
of 800 in the transaction for the
breeder. Besides, if he produces his
own feed, he has received full market
value for it, and at the same time has
fed it out at cost much less than
that of delivering to the local market
In addition the feed has produced the
same prOpOrtionate amount of manure
that it would produce were it fed to
any other animal on the farm"

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY

Missouri Station.

Timothy hay to make the most pal
atable and most nutritious feed should
be cut before ripe. Investigations
made at the Missouri experiment sta
ton showed that timothy cut during
the period from blossoming time to
the shedding of the bloom was pre-
ferred by cattle to ripper hay and that
they received more nutrition from it.
1t is usually the custom to harvest the
timothy crop when it is nearly or
quite ripe, but the above mentioned in

THINGS 70 REMEMBER IN
CONTRACTION OF SILO

The walls must be alright.
The walls must be smooth in
side.
The best type of silo is round.
The roof should be water
proof.
The materials out of which
the silo is built should be strong
enough to withstand great press
ure.
The cost should be from 81 to
50 per ton capacity if the total
capacity is to exceed 100 tons.
A silo should be placed as
near as possible to the place
where the silage is to be fed.
One hundred tons of silage
will feed % head of stock for
200 days.
A silo II feet in diameter and
IS feet high will hold 100 tons
of silage.
Any kind OF good silo is a
valuable piece of property on
the farm where live stock is to
be fed.

One of the officers tells Of the Pc
culiarities Of resonance In this hall.
When business Is at its height, the
noise of footsteps, slamming OF books
and desks, grinding Of chairs and
voices in different pitch, become q
complicated roar. The most singular
thing is this: When there are few
on the floor can hear everything that
Is said just across the hall; but IL
try to speak to an officer, cannot
make myself understood" There ie
a marble-clad transverse gallery just
north of the rotunda. People in this
gallery may be out Of sight, but their
words travel into the rotunda, and II
things are quiet there, they can be
heard in many parts. In fact, the ro-
tunda is like the belly of bass violin
which sounds play antics. Were one
to attempt to speak to an audience
or to lecture or sing In 1t, the echoes
reverberating from one curved space
to another would inevitably impair the
clearness of utterance in the most
practiced singer or speaker, and re-
duce his audience to despair.

MUCH VARIATION IN WOOD
Scientists Have Discovered Reason
| Why Some Resist Entrance and
Action of Decay.

The reason why one kind of wood
is more durable than another Is ow-
ing to the fact that it contains the sub
stance known as tylose in more gen.
erous quantities.
Tylose is the material which fills
the pores of the wood and resists the
entrance and action of decay.
For instance, white oak is we'll suit
ed and much used for barrel slaves,
where barrels are to contain liquid,
while, on the other hand, red oak,
which is apparently of the same struc-
ture, Is not at all suited for the pur-
pose. A close examination of the
white oak reveals the presence of the
tylose which seals all the little pores
Of the wood. Red oak has none Of the
tylose. For this reason a fence post
Of white oak will last much longer in
service than one of red. Timber en-
gineers who inject creosote and other
substances into wood to retard decay

were hard to treat, and others which
were easy. The preservative fluids

applied; while others are almost i'm
pervious, no matter how great the
pressure. Those hardest to penetrate
by preservative fluids are those best
supplied with tylose.
