BAY RUM is OUT OF VOGUE
Witch Hazel Now Is the Popular Lo-
ton In Barber Shops In
This Country.

For many years bay rum was used
In all barber shops as soothing lotion
following the shave. 1t was also used
as sort of dryer after the shampoo
and caused many to writhe in the
chair when applied after good mas
sage. Despite these facts, 1t continued
to be the kingpin of all applications.
Several years ago an enterprising indi-
vidual. knowing the properties of
witch hazel, began to advertise this
liquid as substitute for bay rum.
telling of the fact that witch hazel had
the same qualities as bay rum and was
much easier to take"
The customers of the various barber
shops read the advertisement, and so
did the BARRIERS. The result was that
nine out of ten of the patrons of bar
Der shops asked for witch hazel in
stead of bay rum, and the latter com
modify rapidly sank into oblivion. To,
day, according to the managers of bar
Der shops in big hotels and elsewhere,
witch hazel is much more popular
than bay rum.

How Rainfall Affects Radiuno.

One of the most elaborate investiga-
tons Of the relation between the
amount of radium emanation in the
atmosphere and weather conditions is
that recently carried out by Messrs. j.
X. Wright and o. L. Smith at Manila,
the observations extending over a pc
riod OF about IL months. The effect of
weather conditions upon the rate at
which radium emanati0n is exhaled
frcm the ground and the relation of
the rate of eXhalatiOn to the radioac-
tivity of soil gas at different depths
were also investigated.
Rainfall and wind movement seem
to be the principal meteorological con-
trolls. TIE amount of eInanatiOE in the
air being greatest when these factors
are at minimum, and vice versa. A
decided diurnal variation is found to
exist TIE emanation content being con
siderably greater by night than by
cay.

BUILD THE FENCE PROPERLY
Absolutely Necessary to Construct It
Well i'm Order to Secure Maximum
Amount Of Service.

To get the maximum of service out
of fence it is absolutely necessary
that 1t should be well built. The cor
ner posts must be placed solidly in the
ground in such manner that they
cannot be heaved by frost or drawn
loose by the pull of the fence.
The fabric should be strung tightly
TO the end posts, but it ought not TO
be tightly stapled TO the line posts. 1t
should be fastened to line posts in
such manner that the wires may move
in q horizontal direction to take care
of the contraction and expansion due
to changes in temperature, and to dis
tribute the force of blow along the
fence line SO that the strain will not
come entirely on any one or two posts
or any one point of the wire.
A barbed wire should be placed a
short distance above the top of the
woven wire to prevent cattle and
horses from crowding it down when
reaching over or rubbing against the
fence.

TREATING WOUNDS OF STOCK
Handy in Every Barn-Potassium
Permanganate Is Good.

There should be In every barn q
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 antisepticS Of
not irritating a wound. But any of
the commercial antiseptics will keep q
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 Ii 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 ut once the trou-
BILE can usually be prevented by bath
ing two or three times 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 day with hydrogen peroxide
and syringe them out with warm wa
ter followed by small quantity of the
same antiseptic.

heartily. Only a triiling amount OF
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 ShetlandS sell all
the way from $50 upward, with the
bulk of the animals going at S125. AT
the latter figure there is u 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 1t out at q cost much less than
that Of delivering to the local market
In addition the feed has produced the

WHERE IS GREAT WAR SONG?
Strange That the Present Struggle Has
Not Produced SouI-Strring
Melody.

II IL strange that the war should
not yet have produced, among any of
the nations concerned, genuine war
song. like the "Marseillaise" of the
French Revolution, or the Marching
Through Georgia" or "John Browns
Body" of the American Civil war. We
associate '"Tipperary" with the war.
but 'Tipperary" was already in exis-
tence in August, 1914, and ii Is only
by the accident Of date that our men
did not march to Mons singing Dixie"
or you Made Me Love You" Now
"Tipperary" is forgotten. and nothing
has arisen TO take It's place. For this
purpose the homegrown ballad does
not count in the least.
OF course, a great deal Of topical
doggerel has come from the trenches
and some admirable poetry, but the
real song Of the war has yet to be
evolved. What is IL that the men at
the front sing in the meantime? The
correspondents do not say much on the
point, but we heard OF the Highlanders
coming out of action the other day
singing the lines:
lo'e nae laddie but ane,
And he lo'eS nae lassie but me.

TIME FOR CUTTING TIMOTHY
vested Just Before Ripe, Says
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
earlier harvesting would be more adj
vantageouS.

All students serving in the army
have continued their connection with
the university, and of the 43,SO0 car
ried on the books of the university last
winter there were $4,000 in the ranks
of the soldiers, or So per cent.
OF the total enrolment 4,SO0 were
