She was tried before a magistrate ON
the charge Of numbering him, but

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

PLANS FOR FARM BUILDINGS
Landscape Architect OF Iowa State Col
iege Has Unique Scheme for To-
eating Structures.

Just as in q game of checkers, II,
in your farmstead planning, you take
a little time to look before you move,
it's going to save a lot OF regrets and
money later on, advises II. J. Pearse,
landscape architect with the agricul-
tural extension department at Iowa
state college. Mr.. Pearse has a unique
scheme of laying out plans for locat-
ing new farm buildings.
In planning fall or winter building,
he says, make a plan of your farm
stead; measure up the existing build
ings, fences, drives, tanks and silos
and locate them on a plan drawn to
scale, 20 feet on the ground repre-
sented by one inch on paper.
Next, cut out Of p~asteboard the plan
Of the buildings you want to build,
drawn to scale. Place these on the
plan OF the present buildings ard move
them about until their location salts
fies your conditions as well as possible.
Try different locations for the build
ings; ask yourself questions and al
ways locate with q definite reason in
mind.
1t is remarkable how many mistakes
can be remedied in this manner be-
fore they are made. Locating on a
plan also gives a bird's-eyc view Of the
whole place.

Fish and Game Protection.

Something like a score Of fish, game
and bird protective organizations have
been organized In Indiana within the
last few weeks under the auspices OF
the Indiana fish and game commits
sion, and there is the report of splen-
did cooperation by farmers, deputy
game wardens and others for the pro-
lection of native wild animals and the
preservation of birds that destroy the
insect pests. 1t is probable that the
fish and game laws In Indiana were
never so we'll enforced Gs at the pres

of the game wardens and the changed
public attitude which now seeks to
help rather than hinder this work are

FEED cow in WINTER
important That Milk Flow be
Kept Up in Cold Weather.
Oairyman Who Gets Best Results
Feeds Clover, Alfalfa or cowpea
Hay for Roughness-IncIude
Corn in Ration.
by C. H. ECKLEs. Missouri College of
Agriculture

tBy c. II. ECKLES. Missouri College of
Agriculture.)
The best results with mich cows
demands that the milk flow be kept
up during the winter as we'll 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 agriculture
al experiment station show that aver
age cows in the best-managed 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 will not
enable a cow to produce milk enough
to make it profitable. 1t is not neces-
sary to buy large quantities Of expen-
sive feed to make q 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 will
give better results.
