right kind of feed goes a long way
toward bringing about this contented
state of mind. Never clean the stables
just before milking, for it will stir
up a tenfold odor than any feed the
COWS will eat.
Conserve Soil Fertility.
If there is any question before the
farmers of this country of more i'm
portance than that of conserving the
soils fertility, l am not cognizant of
1t.
The most important business of
dairy farmers is to increase the guam
tity Of manurial substances and apply
it where 1t is most needed.
All of the manure, both liquid and
solid, should be saved and applied to
the land. l believe it is best to haul
it from the stable to the field and APP
ply 1t as fast as made.
When all the liquids have been
saved by the use of absOrbents, large
amounts of manure may be made and,
If ii is hauled to the fields direct from
the stable, these liquids will drain into
the soil to the depth of the furrow
slice, and there will be little loss from
exposure.
In addition, the cows will not be
wading knee-deep In the mire and
filth every time they are turned out in
the yards for water and exercise. Most
Of the work comes at a time when
other farm operations are slack; and
the soil, besides enriched, plows cas-
Ter and works up better during the
whole of the next season, on account
of being porous by being covered with
manure during the winter.
Time to Haul Manure.
. When hauling manure from the sta
bic to the field, we plan to haul the far
Their fields while the ground is frozen.
and close TO the barn while soft and
muddy.
There Is no reasonable excuse for
a dairy farmer to allow more than one
third of his manurial fertility to wash
away in a dirty, filthy barnyard, and
spend one or two weeks during the
busy season in the spring TO haul II
across the muddy fields to get II on mis-
land.

EXPERIMENTS WITH
CROPPING SYSTEMS
Results Obtained at Missouri
College Show That Rotation
and Manuring Pays.

Experiments at the University of
Missouri college of agriculture with va
rious cropping systems in rotation with
and without manures have given the
following results:
l. Crop rotation has been as eff
Client in maintaining a yield of corn
during the 25-year period as the addi-
tion of seven tons of manure annually
where corn has been grown continu-
ously.
2. Very heavy applications of com
mercial fertilizers on all crops of
siX-year rotation have maintained the
corn yield at approximately the same
level rs the application of seven tons
of manure annually, although the cost
Of fertilizer has exceeded the value
of the increase, the manure has
brought a net return.
3. Continuous timothy, MANFRED nm
nually seven tons per acre for %
years, has brought the largest annual
net return, S955 per acre. of any Of
the systems used, where both cost of
production and cost of treatment are
considered.
On the last basis continuous timothy
without treatment netted $5.19 annu-
ally, a rotation of corn. wheat clover
netted 1927 annually, without manure,
and $487 with seven tons of manure
annually. Continuous corn without
manure lost 1920 annually, corn ma
nured, Al cents annually. while con
tinuous wheat heavily fortified lost
S11.30, and six year rotation heavily
fertillzed lost $11.47.
4. All crop rotations brought net
return the manfred rotations aver
aged much higher than the unmanured.
Thus. these experiments show that ro-
tatIon combined with manurng pays.

Could Exterminate Germans.

Experiments made since the German
bOmbardment of Armentieres with Il
mysterious gas shell have disclosed
that the poison was arsine, known In
the laboratory as arseniureted hydro
gen, one of the deadliest fumes known
to the chemists, according to trench
correspondent.
In Armentieres the gas from the
shells continued its deadly work for
nearly week, although the shells
were all thrown in one hour. More
than 1900 men, women and children
died, many in commissions and many
stark mad.
The significant fact In regard TO the
arsine bomb which the Germans likely
overlooked is that while the amount Of
the drug In Germany is limited, the al
lies have limitless supplies. If Britain
and France wish to retaliate they could
In less than year manufacture these
bombs in sufficient quantities to kill
every living thing In the German EN-
plre.
1t would be question only of get
ting enough airplanes to carry and
drop them.

Good stable management is an i'm
portant factor IN determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because COW
kept otherwise can never do her
best.
She must have a comfortable place
to lie down, stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun
shine and plenty of light. She may
have pure air to breathe, and this
means that the stable must be provid-
ed with some system of ventilation to
give a frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only a
little forethought and a few dollars
worth of material and labor. She must
have good pure water at least twice
day, or better still, have an automatic
water basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily,
and be thoroughly dislnfected. The
ceiling, floor and sides should all be
smooth, and Of concrete construction,
and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is
not expensive, and they are sanitary
and permanent.
Large, smooth, concrete hangers for
feeding are about the best we know of
today. Judgment and common sense
must be exercised in the methods of
feeding and handling cows. Fixed
rules In feeding are not practical.
Best Feeding Methods.
Overlooking is wasteful underfeed-
ing is Improbable. The cows must
be well nourlshed at all times, but If
given more than they need for main
tenance and production, they waste it
as a rule.
Never stir up dust or foul odors at
milking time. If you do lot of 1t is
sure to get into the milk.
Whether to feed the cows just be-
fore milking is much debated Ques-
lion. 1t Is not at all dangerous to feed
them a little grain, provided you stir
up no dust or disagreeable OdOrs.
AS rule, the cows will give down
their milk more freely when they have
contented minds, and little of the

women SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmers' Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get medium or large size bottle i'm

GETTING A BATH IN BOG0TA
Attempt Was Fraught With Much Diff

Ever since our arrival Hays and l
had been threatening to patroniZe one
of the two public lighthouses with a
f1rst-class bogotano reputation rumor
had ii existed in the capital, says
Franck's Vagabonding Down the Andes.
But In a land where the temperature
rarely reaches so and the floors are
tiled, 1t takes courage and we had been
satisfying ourselves and our duty to
humanity by bravely splashing a basin
of Icy water over manly forms each
morning on rising. BY dint of strong
resolutions often repeated to be up at
six and visit one of the cases de banos
we did finally manage one morning to
find ourselves wandering the streets
by eight, with towel and soap under
our arms, and stared at by all we met.

door to blacksmith shop. The keep

front wall: Hot baths at all hours"
