COLD RAINS REDUCE MILK.

Most dairymen have observed f1uc-
tuation in the amount of the herds
milk that can be traced directly to the
weathr. A few days of bitterly cold
weather usually reduce the milk How,
but if extra feed is given the amount
of milk soon reaches normal again. In
Arizona, where cold waves are 1nfre-
uuent, the effect of the weather on milk
production has Deen plainly shown and
the experiment station there has made
records of it.

SOME THINGS TO 30 NOW
IN SAFE FARMING.

Farmers who expect to hive upon
products produced on their own farms
should now be making arrangements
to grow all the food and feed crops re-
quired for the support of the family
and livestock for one year. with
little surplus for safety, says Mr.. G. r.
Hudson, State Agent in charge of
County Agent Work.
In making such arrangements the
home garden should be considered one
of the important features. The garden
should be of rich, loamy nature, when
such can be procured, and preferably
should slope toward the east or south.
During the time when the ground is
frozen, stable manure should be haul
ed and spread over the garden. and a
hundred pounds of acid phosphat used
for every ton, or good two-horse load
of manure
AS soon as the soil and subsoil are
dry enough to be plowed, the land
should be broken deeply without in
verting the subsoil, and should be well
narrowed the same day the breaking is
done.
During February and March. the fol-
lowing crops may be planted; beets,
carrots. kale, horse radish, Irish pota-
toes, lettuce, onions. mustard, English
peas, radish. spinach, spring turniDs
strawberry plants, and rape. When
planted on good, rich, well prepared
SOIL, rape is a most desirable plant fo1
salad. tits also splendid for livestock
including chickens.
If hens are expected to lay, they
shuld be housed, we'll cared for anC
fed a balanced ration, including som'
green crop, such as rape. rye, or GLOW
er. Old hens are not profitable as egl
producers.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is per-
sonally guaranteed by every drug
gist who sells it. A large bottle
costs so cents, and if it fails to give
easy relief in every case of liver

have only to ask for your money

the entrance of Hampton Roads as
guard against undersea boats, has
been placed in position, Rear Admiral
Mclean, commandant of the fifth nav

of the harbor entrance menace. He
issued instructions that before at
