KICKING cow EASILY CURED
Three Different Methods Suggested for
Treatment of Unruly Animal ty
Kansas Expert.

(By LESLIE ROSS. Kansas Experiment
Station)
Care and patience will do much to
cure the kicking COW.
The kicking COW is easily cured by
the proper methods. To cure the Of
Tending animal take rope with a
loop In one end Of it or trunk strap
and pass 1t around the body of the
COW. Draw it tight. The COW usually
will jump a little at first, but when
she finds she cannot get out Of the
rope she will Standard cannot kick.
This method once in while causes
the COW to give bloody milk. If this
happens place the rope or strap be-
hind the udder and draw it up in the
same manner. With some cows this
cannot be done because Of the shape
of the udder. Another method is to
hobble the COW by passing the rope
around each leg behind the udder, and
tying just above the hooks. This is,
however, rather dangerous for the
man tying the rope. After the pre-
ventive measure has been repeated a
few times the COW will stand readily
to be MIXED.

NUMBERS OF COUNTRY ROADS
iowa State Highway Commission Sug-
gests That City Plan Be Used
Capital Central Point

Numbering of country roads and
residences so that every road and
country home may be instantly To-
Gated, is advocated by the service bull
aetin of the Iowa state highway COM
mission, which is just off the press.
THE system advocated was originally
suggested last June.
In the system suggested, the section
upon which, the state capitol is located
lis considered the central point and all
roads are numbered north, east, south
and west from this. Using the base
snap appearing In the bulletin, one
can easily locate the number Of his
road and house.
The system is SO arranged that
nractically every road bears the same
designation across the state. The
numbering system does not In any
way interfere with the use Of the
names of organized tourist routes
ssucii as Lincoln highway and others.

BEGIN POULTRY LICE FIGHT
Effective Powder Can Be Made at
Home by Using cresoI, Carbolic
Acid and Gasoline.

A very good lice powder for use on
poultry may be made at home from in
gradients that, when bought separate
ly, will cost little as compared with
the expense of commercial lice pow
der made of the same or similar mate
rails. One of the best Of these home
made powders is prepared by mixing
one pint of cresol, or the same quantity
Of strong, crude carbolic acid, with
three pints of gasoline. To this is
added, while stirring, just enough plas-
ter Of paris to take up the liquid. 1t
will take about ten pounds of plaster
for the amounts of cresol and gasoline
given. Larger or small amounts may
be prepared by increasing or decreas-
ing the three Ingredients proportions
ately. After making this powder II
should be kept in well-coyered recep-
tacle to keep it from losing strength.
The best way to apply the powder is
to put 1t into a sitting box made by
punching numerous small holes into q
tin can, and, holding the bird by the
feet, head downward, sift the powder
well into the fluff.

RIGHT TREATMENT FOR R0UP
Use Good Sharp AK and Then Bury
Carcasses Deeply or Burn Them
Several Forms of AiIment.

The best way to cure roup among
poultry is to use good sharp ak and
then bury the carcasses deeply or burn
them. Roup may take several forms,
appearing at first like severe cold.
Use enough permanganate of potash
In the drinking water to give 1t a rich
wine color. Disinfect the yards and
houses with s per cent solution of
carbolic acid.
Individual treatment should be the
same as for colds or catarrh. Press
the nostrils together with the thumb
and forefinger and apply pressure be-
tween the nostrils and eyes to loosen
the discharge. Then plunge the head
into two per cent solution of per-
manganate of potash for 90 to 30 sec
onds. This treatment should be con-
tinued twice daily until all symptoms
disappear.

MANURE AS A TOP DRESSING
4 Greatly Stimulates Growth Of Wheat
and Asslsts TO Prevent
Winter Killing.
By NJ r. MILLER, Missouri College Of
Agriculture)

By M. r. MILLER, Missouri College OF
Agriculture.)
Every year sees greater number OF
Missouri farmers using manure as
top dressing on wheat. There Is con-
siderable evidence to show where
wheat is grown in a rotation, manure
can very often be applied to better adj
vantage as to a top dressing on this
crop than as an application before
corn. There are two principal advan-
tages of this practice. The first one is
that it greatly stimulates the growth
of the wheat and helps to prevent VIM
ter killing with a resulting Increase in
yield. The second one is that since
clover and grass are usually sown with
the wheat and since manure aids very
greatly in securing a stand of these
crops when used as top dressing with
the wheat, this alone may be sufficient
reason for its application. AS mat
ter Of fact the top dressing of wheat
with manure almost insures stand Of
clover or grass on land which is at all
suited to these crops. The land may
be too sour or too wet to grow clover.
Much land in Missouri is too sour. If
it is only slightly sour, the manure
greatly aids in getting clover stand
If 1t is very sour, lime is usually es'
sential in addition.

Always drag little earth towards

If the drag cuts too much, shorten

The amount of earth that the drag
Will carry along can be very cohsid-
erabIy controlled by the driver, ac-
Arording as he stands near the cutting

When the roads are first dragged
after a very muddy spell the wagons
should drive, if possible, to one side

freeze partially or dry out.
The best results from dragging are
obtained only by repeated applica-
Hion.

KEEP FEED YARD DRY
Cattle Cannot Thrive When Con-
fined in Muddy Lot.
Where Farmer Keeps Stock Comfort
able and Satisfied He Has Done
Much To Secure Gains From
Feed He Has Used.

Not all soil becomes deep with mud
during the winter season, but most
clay soil does, and larger section Of
the country is not sand. There is a
saying that the best corn land is mud
when wet. 1t naturally follows that
the average feedlot is rather muddy
whenever there Is moisture enough to
make 1t such.
1t is also a safe bet that cattle are
not doing their best when confined
in a muddy lot. We are learning
more and more that it pays to get
away from the mud, both for our own
comfort and for the comfort of our
stock, for If you will make stock COM
Portable and satisfied you have done
much to secure the gains that should
be secured from the feed that Is used.
Keeping out of the mud means keep
ing the stock comfortable and salts

Farmer and feeder living in one of
the best sections of Illinois, four years
ago, tried the experiment of paving a
portion of his feedlot. He found the
paved portion of his lot so satisfactory
that he was getting the material on the
ground to pave the rest If it.
He keeps the manure cleaned up
from his paved yard, hauling direct to
the field each week If the field will

BEST NEW STRAWBERRY BEDS
Plants Produced During Current Sea-
son Should Be SeIected-Set
Out In Spring.

Young strawberry plants produced
during the current season are best for
new strawberry beds, is the word that
comes from horticultural department
of the Nebraska College of Agricul-
ture. The greater part of the root sys-
TEN of the plants over one year old
will be of a dark color, while roots of
plants formed this summer will be
light. They may be set out either in
fall or spring.
A blanket of three or four inches
of straw put on after the ground
freezes firmly will stop much of the
alternate freezing and thawing of the
ground during the winter. A portion
of the mulch may be removed in the
spring when growth first begins.

Warts on the teats are often trouble
some in milking, besides adding to the
danger of increasing the possibility of
communicating the milk through infec-
tious material which may be found on
them. They may be greatly benefited
or entirely removed by smearing them
thickly with pure olive Oil.
If they are large, and still persist
despite this treatment, they may be
cut off with sharp pair of scissors,
and the spot touched with stick Of
caustic potash.
They may be oiled now, and the

PLACE FOR ALL IMPLEMENTS
Tools Should Be in Shed During Win

causes Rust and Decay.

From now on till next spring most
of the implements of cultivation will
not be used, nor will be planters. The
place for them, and for all implements
not in use every day, is under the shed.
Why? What does a man work for?
Implements cost money. Exposure to
the elements causes them to rust, warp
and decay.
When they are gone more work
must be done to get more money to
buy more implements, when just lit
tie work and little care at the right
time would have made them last a
year or two or three longer.
