CURE FOR THE KICKING COW
Animals Body Making II Incon-
vcnient for Her to Lift Foot.

Select a rope or strap long enough to
pass around the cows body at the
hips with about a foot of rope to
spare and fasten Il ring in one end.
Place the rope around cows body just
back Of the hips and in front Of the
uader. Put the rope through the ring
and draw it reasonably tight and fasten
it by slipping the loose end under the
taut rope. This will be found Il bind
the muscles of the hind quarters so it
is very ~inconyenient for the cow to
lift her foot. If the COW is q vicious
kicker, the rope will need TO be drawn
UP pretty tight. The O will make
many efforts TO kick aid na succeed
in 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.

Most of the accidents at home are
traceable to carelesSncss. Burns and

MINERAL MATTER Is NEEDED
Material for Making Bone and Festh-

All of the grains contain what is
called ash, which supplies material for
the making Of egg shells. While the

mineral matter for the making CT

not find enough lime to supplement
That found in the grain they eat, some
form of lime must be given. A hen
laying 100 eggs a year will require 10
pounds Of mineral matter for the
shells. A hi.h-laying hen ordinarily
cannot find enough lime In the yard
to supply the demand. Oyster shells

Dry ground bone contains about 40
per cent Of carbonate Of lime, and has

GUARD AGAINST WHEAT RUST

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
he department OF agriculture not to
purchase for seed n wheat grown
west of that line. A very destructive
rust Of cereals, known as stripe rust,
has been found in 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
nent OF wheat for milling may dis
selDinate this rust along the rights of
way Of railroads, but that Is some
thing that is very difficult to control.
