Value Of Goats on Farm.

Angora goats are not kept for
their milk, but for their wool and
their value as brush destroyers. Ma
tive goats and the imported Saanen
and Toggenburg breeds, or q MIXTURE
of these, are the best known milch
goats OF this country. Milch goats
are easily kept, furnish from one
to two quarts of milk daily for a per-
Tod OF SIX or seven months in the
year, and are a valuable substitute
for the COW where circumstances
make the keeping OF that animal i'm
practicable, Goats milk is rich, but
cannot he SKINNED for cream as is
cows milk. Unless particular care
is taken 10 keep the goats clean and
TO feed them upon sweet, wholesome
food, there is disngreeable, strong
taste TO their milk which renders II
Objectionable to most people. They
are fed and pastured practically as
are cows. il being usually estimated
that six goats can be kept upon the
rations required by one COW. Goats
may be tethered at pasture where
grass is available and they will
browse upon brush land where cows
could not subsist Whether II would
pay you TO purchase two or three
goats for their milk would depend
largely upon your ability To get them
at a reasonable price and your ia
cilities for caring for them. There
is no question as To mich goats be
ing profitable under favorable cir
cumstsnoes, or that they my be
made TO replace tho SOW where only
a. small quantity OF milk Is wanted
daily.

DisinfecfinR Schedule.

One OF the most successful poultry
raisers remarked the other day:
"There is hardly q week passes that
some part OF our plant does not re-
ceiye q good dose Of disinfectaDt.
Houses, co6ps, incubators and brood
ers, all get their share" this man
realizes that an ounce of prevention
Is worth q pound of cure, and that
the best way Of getting rid Of mites,
lice, and disease germs that chickens
are heir to is to fight the pests con-
sistently.
The idea that the presence of lice
and other parasites on poultry is a
natural condition, efficiently taken
care Of by nature, is a fallacy. True,
they are found on very young chicks,
because the mother hen unavoidably
distributes them to her brood. Every
nest is a refuge for them, likewise
perches, dropping boards, brooder
houses and yarding coops. II the
poultryman is not careful baby
chicks start life handicapped by these
bloodsucking pests.
There Is no better way to success
fully combat germs and parasites
than through the use of a good,
strong disinfectaht One that will
not only xiii lice, mites and germs,
destroy and Reutralize foul doors,
but at the same time one that will
neither stain nor injure the birds in
any way. Many breeders have been
using crude and refined carbolic acid
for this purpose. This Is not only
dangerous, but expensive. There are
many mmercial disinfectants on
the market three TO five times strong
er than carbolic, besides being safer
and cheaper.

Soy Beans VS.. Cowpeas.

Soy beans and cowpeas are COM
pared by Prof Harper OF Clemson
College. and soy beans seem 10 have
rather the best OF It. Regarding soy
beans, Prof Harper Says;
They put more nitrogen in the soil
than cowpeas. The seed viii stay on
the ground till late fall without rot
ting. giving longer pasturing. They
stand dry weather better than cow
peas. Early varities will ripen seed
ahead OF early varities OF cowpeas,
30 can be planted earlier and later,
Soy beans yield more grain than
eowpess. Their icher the soil the
heavier the yield of grain. while on
rich soil cowpeas make more vine
and less seed. Soy beans ripen all
at once 30 can be harvested by ma
chinery, while cowpeas must be hand
picked. Soy beans are not troubled
by weevils. They are the richest

Ffve-Acre Corn Contest.

Four hundred and eight OF the
farmers who entered in the 1915 In
diana 5-acre corn contest completed
the work. Their average yield was
SOL bushels per acre, at an average
cost of $14.S1, or 21.1 cents per
bushet. These contestants represent
ed 23 counties. The agent In each
county had immediate charge of the
work. but the State college furnish
ed a Judge 10 assist in determining
the yield and cost One contestant
produced 1854 bushels per acre and
10 produced from 80 TO 100 bushels.
The IL highest contestants averaged
93.a bushels per acre, at an average
cost OF 1883. or 16.2 cents per
hushel. The yields we're determined

Lime as Fertilizer.

The Pennsylvania Experiment Sta
ton has completed a twenty-year
test OF burned lime compared with
ground limestone az fertilizer for
correcting soil acidity. The results
show remarkable advantage for
ground limestone. II was found that
each ton OF fresh lime destroyed
l175 pounds Of humus tn the soil
and liberated AZ pounds of nitrogen.
The land receiving quick lime pro-
dueed SO bushels less corn. lie bush
els less oats. Is bushels less wheat,

on which ground limestone or two
tons OF quick lime were applied to

ROOT TO BE BUSY IN FIGHT
FOR HUGHES AND FAIRBANKS

New York, June 23.-Precampaign
conferences more important than any
since the Chicago convention were
held here today by Charles Z. Hughes
with Rlihu Root and Charles w.
Fairbanks, the wee presidential nom
inee.
Mr.. Hughes was closeted with each
OF these callers for two hours. The
entire plan of the campaign was
sketched, including Mr.. Hughes
speech of acceptance, which he will
soon begin drafting, the treatment Of
what Republican leaders consider
the chief issues of the day, and the
organization Of the National Com
mittee. 1t was authoritatively an
nounced at the close of the confer
ence that Mr.. Root would be a prom
inent figure In conducting the cam
paign and that he would actively
participate in il. ..-~~s~
In pursuance OF his policy of sill
enee until after his formal notifica-
ton, Mr.. Hughes declined to discuss
the conferences and Mr.. Fairbanks
also announced his intention Of say
ing nothing until after the notifica-
ton ceremony. Where and when this
will be held may be determined to-
morrow when Chairman Harding, of
the Republican National Convention,
meets Mr.. Hughes here.
Arthur N. sager, of st. Louis. Pro
gressive nominee for Senator from
Missouri IN 1914. issued a statement
after a conference with Mr.. Hughes

over soy beans. Prof. Harper states
these as follows; Cowpeas can be
much more handily grown in corn.
They can be sown broadcast, while
soy beans cannot, because they need
more moisture to germinate and do
not terminate uniformly. Cowpea
hay is easier to cure than soy bean
hay and does not shatter so badly.
Cowpeas are less work to grow be-
cause soy beans must be planted in
rows and worked TO get best results.

This Is the well-known trick OF the

To Cure Sore Shoulders.

The feet OF no two persons are
alike. consequently they cannot wear
the same shoes comfortably unless
they are first adjusted by several
days of preliminary wear. During
this period of adjustment the wear
er's feet become tired, and blisters,
callouses and corns may appear.
Horses shoulders are like mems feet
in this respect. A horse wears a
collar today that fits him, tomorrow
one that is too small, and the next
day ons that is his size, but does not
conform TO his shoulders and necks
that refuse TO heal even with the
dligent application of a never-fail-
Ing cure. 1t follows. therefore, that
the first requisite for the prevention
of sore shoulders is a perfect-ftting
collar.
There are numerous remedies for
sore shoulders that give satisfactory
results, providing all other condi-
lions are favorable. The application
of white lead ground in linseed oil,
the kind used for mixing paint. every
evening after the collar is removed,
has proven satisfactory. A lotion
composed of six drains OF lead acetate
and thes anne quantity OF zinc sulphate
IN one pint Of water makes salts
factory wash for sore necks. Oxide of
zinc ointment is also very good ap-
piled several times daily.
