TEAMS SUFFER FROM THIRST
Three Times Daily Is Not Sufficient
for Live Stock-FiVe Times Ia
Better Plan.

When you want a drink of water,
probably your team wants one, too.
Three times a day is not enough to
water live stock. They should have,
especially in hot weather, an opportu-
nifty of drinking at least five times
daily-before every meal and at inter
walls of two and a half to three hours
apart between meals.
The animal that works in hot wealth
er on a FIVE or six-hour stretch with
out water suffers intensely from thirst.
Frequent watering prevents water col
&c and other i'll effects.
Never allow the animal to drink
when very hot. Always force him IN
der such conditions TO drink a little at
a time untn satisfied.

CLEAN THE DAIRY UTENSILS
First Rinse With Cold Water to Re
move Milk ParticIes-When Pos
sible Place ih Sunlight.

Milk utensils should first be rinsed
with cold water to remove all particles
of milk, then thoroughly scrubbed
with a brush in warm water to which
little good washing powder has been
added. They should be steamed or at
least rinsed in boiling water. No wip-
ing cloth should come in contact with
them after scalding. When possible.
all utensils should be placed in good
sunlight and pure air.
The separator, of course, must also
be cleaned thoroughly. No one should
place any confidence in the claim that
separatOrs wash themselves by simply
running water through them. Washing
separator is not a difficult task if
done soon after separating. The water
for washing should be warm, but not
enough TO cook the curd.

CONCRETE WATER TANK
Superior in All Respects to ANY
Other Receptacle.
They Are Net EiffieuIt of Construction.
Easy to Clean, and DO Not Rot
or Rust-carefuIly Proper.
ton Materials.

Concrete tanks, If properly built,
are superior in all respects to any
other kind of tank for storing water.
They are easy to clean, and do not
rot or rust The concrete mixture
should be in proportions one part ee-
ment to one and half parts clean but
rather fine sand, to three parts
screened gravel or broken stone.
A tank, in order to withstand water
pressure and not leak is best built by
laying the concrete without stopping.
Even then there are other essential
things, which, if disregarded, will pro-
duee leaky tank. The concrete must
be mixed so wet that it will flow over
and around the metal re-enforeements
and against the forms. The materials
for the concrete must be very carefully
proportional and the stones small
enough to pass a three-fourths-inch-
mesh screen. A concrete made by
using very clean screened gravel makes
denser concrete than broken stone,
1t flows into place better, and is not
so apt to have voids and stone pockets
which let the water through.
Square tanks do not stand water
pressure so well as round, because
the sides tend to bulge, but they are
all right If not more than four feet
deep and eight feet square.
Sometimes tanks are constructed by
filling one or two sections of forms
~,
continuing the next day. This is a
bad practice, because 1t is readily seen
that joint is formed on the surface

NINE SOLDIERS CAPTURE 11s
Frenehmen Trick the Defenders of a
German Field Fort on
the Somme.

One of the most striking episodes
OF the great Somme offensive was the
recent taking of the field fort at BIZ
anches and its garrison of 11S men
by 3 French soldiers.
All attempts to storm the position
had been checked by murderous ma
chine-gun fire until a French officer
discovered a vulnerable point. Select
ing second lieutenant, two sergeants.
corporal and four men, he led them
on hands and knees through the long
grass to the spot wnere he knew there
was a breach in the defenses. Then
three of the French officers abruptly
leaped into the work. shouting in
stentorian tones. Forward with the
bayonet!" and throwing bombs which
exploded in the dugout.
The Germans. believing large force
was with the Frenchmen, had no time
TO get their weapons and surrendered.
But now the three French captors be-
gan TO feel nervous, as they saw no
reason why the Germans should not
fall upon them and exterminate them.
They were saved by the six comrades,
who came rushing in just at this mo-
ment. Again fooled. the entire Ger
man garrison was marched to the
French rear, escorted by the nine
poiIus," who had not lost a man.

If each layer of concrete which is
placed on top of another layer that
has set up and hardened. To make
the joint as tight as possible the top
surface of the old concrete must be
specially treated.
The operation for treating the sur
face is as follows: Scrape off all dirt
and scum from the old surface, pick it
with a pick or scrub it thoroughly
with wire brush or horse currycomb,
In order to remove all surface mortar
and scum and leave a very rough sur
face. To make the bond between this
cleaned surface and the new concrete,
wet it thoroughly, soaking it well, place
a one-fourth-inch to one-half-inch layer
Of one part cement to one part sand,
Or, better still, layer of pure cement,
On the cleaned surface, and before this
has set or begun to stiffen place the
new concrete upon it.

GUARD AGAINST WHEAT RUST
Department of Agriculture Issues
Warning Against Use of Seed
From Western States.

All farmers east of the one hundred
and fourth meridian, which runs near
Cheyenne and Denver, are urged by
the department OF agriculture not to
purchase for seed any wheat grown
west of that line. A very destructive
rust of cereals, known as stripe rust,
has been found ih this country, but
thus far it is known to occur only
west of the one hundred and fourth
meridian. The spores of this particu-
lar kind of rust may be distributed
on the seed of grain; hence the pre-
caution against using seed from re-
gions where the rust exists. The ship
ment Of wheat for milling may dis
seminate this rust along the rights Of
way of railroads, but that is some
thing that is very difficult to control.

MINERAL MATTER Is NEEDED
ers and Formation of Egg Shells
Must Be Supplied.

All of the grains contain what is
rallied ash, which supplies material for
the making of egg shells. While the
chicks are growing they also demand
mineral matter for the making of
bone and feathers. If the hens can
not find enough lime to supplement
that found in the grain they eat, some
form of lime must be given. A hen
laying 160 eggs a year will require 1.6
pounds of mineral matter for the
shells. A high-laying hen ordinarily
cannot find enough lime in the yard
to supply the demand. Oyster shells
are cheap source of lime. They con-
tain about 50 per cent of lime.
Dry ground bone contains about 40
per cent of carbonate of lime, and has
other value in addition to the mineral
matter it supplies. Ground bone is es-
pecially good for growing chicks.

Remedies for "chIgsers."

If bath in hot water, or in water
containing salt or strong soap, is
taken within a few hours after ex-
posture in shrubbery and weeds !nfest-
ed with "chiggers," or ''red bugs" no
i'll effects will be experienced. After
a long exposure, however, n bath has
practically no effect, and direct rene
dies are necessary.
After irritation has set in, and small
red spots appear, the application of a
moderately strong solution of ammo
MIA to the affected parts is recommend
ed by the department of agriculture's
entomologists. A supersaturated So
luton of bicarbonate of soda, or COM
mon cooking soda or saleratus. will af-
ford relief. Liberal applications should
be made until the irritation subsidies.
If the suffering is severe a dilute tine
ture of iodine or collodion should be
lightly applied.

HOW MOUNTAINS ARE FORMED
Earth Crumples Up and Makes Great
Hills Where Plains Once
Lay.

In the region now occupied by the
Wasatch mountains a number OF par
allel faults were developed close to-
gether and the broken pieces Of the
earth's crust between them were
pushed up, the rocks on one side of
each crack riding up over those on
the other side until a great mountain
range was formed where once lay a
plain. During the long period of slow
earth movement which made these
mountains. flat-lying parallel beds Of
rock were locally turned on edge,
crumpled up and folded in a wonder
fully intricate manner. These up
turned and crumpled rocks are well ex-
posed in Ogden canyon. The west face
of the Wasatch range is believed to
mark the plane of a normal fault at a
nearly vertical crack in the arth's
crust, the rocks on the east side OF
which went down. The forces which
have raised these mountains are still
active, for movement along this fault
has disturbed the surface recently

The Stoker in Battle.

In the modern battleship, as is well
known, the stoker, like the oarsman Of
ancient Roman galley, has his work
all below deck. The seafght RACES
above him, and he can rarely If ever
see battle. One of the stories con-
nected with the battle of Jutland IL
Illustrates the stolid character of the
British stokers. A chance was given
two of these during the fight to come
from below. They were on the War
spite, which was heavily engaged. One
of them was telling a domestic story
to the other as they went up to the
deck. AT the hottest moment of the
fight their grimy heads appeared at the
top Of the hatch round which splinters
of shell were crashing. Above the
hellish din the impassive voice of the
story telling stOker was heard, as calm
as though at a pub" over mug of
ale, saying, 81 always thought e ort

CURE FOR THE KICKING cow
Rope or Strap May Be Arranged on
Animals Body Making II Incon-
venient for Her to Lift Foot.

Select rope or strap long enough to
pass around the cows body at the
hips with about a foot of rope to
spare and fasten a ring in one end.
Place the rope around cows body Just
back of the hips and in front of the
udder. Put the rope through the ring
and draw it reasonably tight and fasten
1t by slipping the loose end under the
taut rope. This will be found to bind
the muscles of the hind quarters so it
is very inconvenient for the cow to
lift her foot. If the cow is a vicious
kicker, the rope will need to be drawn
up pretty tight. The COW viii make
many efforts to kick and may succeed
III raising her foot pretty high the
first few times this method is applied
but she will finally give up. Don't for
get that your success with this method
depends on keeping at it until the
mere presence of the rope around her
body will suffice.
