TREATMENT FOR NAIL WOUND
Take No Chances, as Lockjaw or Per-
manent Lameness May Result
Advice OF an Expert.

1t is better to be safe than sorry !
When a horse steps on a nail take no
chances. Remove the nail as soon as
possible and thoroughly cleanse the
wound. When horse limps investi-
gate the cause. This is the advice of
David Gray, assistant in animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas state agricultural
college.
'GThe removal Of the nail can easily
be accomplished with an ordinary claw
hammer, small block of wood being
used as fulcrum over which to pry,"
says Mr.. Gray. SIT the nail is not too
large a pair of pliers is suitable for
this work.
IF not cared for Immediately the
wound may cause lockjaw or perma-
nent lameness. For cleansing the
wound syringe and warm water may
be used if care is taken to cleanse
thoroughly. The best method is to ap
ply literally any coal-tar product. such
as creolin, as 1t is effective in breaking
up the infection. If nail wound il
given immediate and careful attention
the life of horse is usually safe"

FEED cow In WINTER
important That MIX Flow be
Kept Up in Cold Weather.
DaIryman Wh~ Gets Best Results
Feeds Glover, Alfalfa or cowpea
Hay for Rougbness Include
Corn IN Ration.
ny 6. II hcKLEs. missouri college Of

Thy c. II! HCKEES, Missouri College Of
Agriculture, ~
The best results with mich cows
demands that the milk flow be kept
up during the winter as well as dur
ing the remainder of the year. A herd
that is allowed to drop in this particu-
lar when winter comes on not only
lowers its profit at that time, but is
hard to bring back when winter is
over. Reports received By the dairy
department of the Missouri agricultur-
al experiment station show that aver
age cows in the best-nlanaged herds of
the state often produce two or three
times as much butter during the year
as does the average dairy COW of the
state. This difference results largely
from the fact that these herds continue
high in. their milk production during
the winter.
A good milk flow results largely from
careful feeding, although shelter and
other phases Of management are also
important. The man who is getting
poor results is usually feeding timothy
hay, corn fodder, and corn, and per-
,haps not enough even of these. The
man who is getting good results has
learned that such a ration win not
enable cow to produce milk enough
to make it profitable. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy large quantities of expen-
sive feed to make good ration, as it
can all be grown on the farm. If the
proper ration is not at hand, however.
it will usually pay to buy something
suitable, or possibly trade some of the
feeds on hand for others which win
give better results.
Man Who Gets Results.
The man who gets good results with
cows feeds clover, alfalfa, or cow
pea hay for the roughness, takes care
| that the cows have plenty of it, and, if
he has some corn fodder, feeds some

expression of what on earth shall l
do with it, and where shall store it?'
In these days of elimination of the nom
essentials we need to study the art
of gift giving and present appropriate
and pleasing gifts to our friends. This
can be done. but it takes thought, not
indiscriminate buying.
There are so many good things that
we never think of, that would be so
much more pleasing to our friends than
the gifts we usually give. Do you
make nice doughnuts? A box of two
dozen nutty brown doughnuts would
never go begging in many homes. Such
a box may be arranged with as much
of the festive air of Christmas as the
taste of the giver desires.
1t is always a good plan to have
a shelf or drawer In the attic where
all boxes may be kept through the
year.. They are then ready for gifts
of any size and in leisure moments one
may cover them with pretty wallpaper,
making quite elegant boxes, which, if
bought. would cost quite sum.
If you have girl or boy friend at
boarding school, too far away to get
home. don't forget the box of goodies.
No one knows. unless he has felt it,
how such gift warns the cookies of
the heart.
A plum pudding wrapped in lace pa
per and tied with red ribbons, with a
bunch of holly or wintergreen makes
happy gift. Fruit cakes may be
baked weeks before, packed in soft
brown sugar to keep moist. Any at
tractive kind of cookies, rocks, her
mits, are good. The macaroni letters
may be used to spell the children's
names on little cakes, which gives
them keen delight. Jellies, canned
fruit, pickles or orange marmalade
wrapped tastefully and we'll marked,
are all most acceptable Christmas gifts.
For the ice cream, and what party
would be complete without that. small
new flower pots lined with waxed pa
per, may be filled with the cream and
the top sprinkled with chocolate graf
ed over it with small daisy for the
flower.
Small cakes frosted and decorated
with the pretty candies, children al
ways enjoy.

of this in addition during the day. If
hay Of this class is fed, it is all right
to feed a considerable quantity Of corn
for grain.
The feeds which are generally fed
in this section may be divided into two
classes. The first includes those lack
ing in protein. They are used main
ly to produce fat and do not have pro-
tein enough for milk production. In
this class we have corn, corn fodder,
timothy hay, straw, millet and sor-
ghum. The second class of feeds in
cludes those which contain more pro-
tein to supply the food necessary to
produce milk. In this class we have
clover, cowpea and alfalfa hay, bran,
oats, cottonseed and inSeed meal. A
good daily ration will include feeds
from both of these classes and it is
impossible to make a suitable ration
by feeding those in the first class only.
4 good ration for COW producing
from "a to % pounds of milk per day,
would be all she would eat of clover
or cowpea hay and for grain from five
to six pounds corn, and from three to
five pounds bran or oats. Another fair
ly good ration for an ordinary cow is
all she will eat of alfalfa or cowpea
hay and eight to twelve pounds of
corn. Still another would be clover
hay, as before, corn six to nine pounds,
and cottonseed meal, two pounds per
day. These rations will be improved
in every case nv feeding corn silage.

GOOD SEEDED is ESSENTIAL
Every Small Depression in Field Must
Be Filled Up and Ridges Lowered
For Best Results.

A good seeded is necessary for the
proper reception of the bluegrass seed.
1t is best to provide one, even If it
is at the expense of time, which is
also a factor when the season is late.
Every small depression in the blue
grass field must be filed up. the ridges
pade low, all Of which can be done
admirably well by the use of harrow
and disk. To sow bluegrass and get
best results, the aim should be to make
the ground ike an onion bed.

CLOVER AND ALFALFA FEEDS
Farmer With Supply Of Those Two

Part Of His Industry.

The farmer with dairy cows who
has supply Of clover or alfalfa has
sure thing i'm the dairy part Of his
industry, if he viii use the feed right
and take good care of his cows this
winter. A daily ration Of ten pounds
of alfalfa and the same amount OF
clover hay and about 80 pounds of
silage, along with such grain feed as
cob and corn meal he can make with
his own farm mill; about ten pounds
daily in three feeds per day will be
sufficient.
