HOUSE CLEANING IN
!; BARN IS ESSENTIAL
lust as Important for Farmer to
Have Periodical Bout With
Dirt as for Housewife.

CIV GEORGE H. GLOVER, Colorado
Agricultural College, Fort Collins
Colo.)
Every housekeeper, who deserves
the name, has a general houseclean-
ing at least twice a year. The a r
pets come up and the curtains down,
and everything from the roof to the
floor In the furnace room is either
busted, scrubbed, vanished or paint
ed. With the farmers wife, spring
and fall housekeeping Is looked upon
as q duty that Is almost sacred and
is kept %inviolate.
But who ever heard Of a farmer
having even an annual barn clean
ing? True the manure is hauled out.
usually in the springtime, In order to
make it possible to get the horses in
and out the door, but that is all.
\ If farmers would make it a regular
Job to clean the premises once or
twice every year, infectious diseases
among farm animals could be, con-
trolled, and the mortality Of 6 to III
per cent from calf scours, hog cholera,
blackleg, contagious abortion and
other diseases might be reduced to the
minimum.

produced a wonderful crop in spite Of
drought. Both the spike-tooth and the
spring-tooth harrow. also have been
used with. splendid results. The bene-
fit to the alfalfa comes in a variety
of ways, but in the majority Of the
cases the greatest benefit IS the de-
struction Of weeds, and especially Of
blue grass. Alfalfa, with its long tap
root, can Withstand almost any kind
Of narrowing or disking, but the or
binary grass or weed may easily be
damaged by this kind Of treatment.
The Iowa experiment station at
Ames recently received reports from
nearly a thousand alfalfa growers, con-
corning the effect Of cultivation on
yield. The 234 men who reported disk
ing secured an average yield OF 3.9
tons; the A who reported narrowing
secured an average yield Of 3.8 tons,
while the 653 who gave no cultivation
to their alfalfa, reported an average
yield of 3.4 tons.
A few years ago certain people OBJ
jected to the cultivation Of alfalfa on
the ground that the crowns would be
split thereby, and become dangerously
diseased, thus eventually weakening
the stand. Investigations made a year
or so ago by the agronomy department
of the Iowa experiment station indi-
cate that there is absolutely nothing
to this fear, that the cultivated alfalfa
is just as healthy in every way as that
which has not been cultivated.

LESS MEAT IF BACK
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Takea Glass Of Salts to Flush Kid.
neys of Bladder Bothers You.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well-known author
ity, because the uric acid in meat ex-
cites the kidneys, they become. over
worked; get sluggish; clog up and
cause all sorts of distress, particu-
larly backache and misery in the kid
ney region; rheumatic twinges, Sc
we're headaches, acid stomach, con-
stipation, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is
made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations
to flush clogged kidneys and stimu-
late them to normal activity; also to
neutralize the acids in the urine so
it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot %injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent Ii
thia-water drink which millions of
men and women take now and then
to keep the kidneys and urinary Dr.
gans clean, thus avoiding serious kid
ney disease.-Adv.

EASY CURE FOR SOREHEAD
Disease Is Highly Infectious and
Spreads RapidIyAIndividual
Treatment Required.

Yellow spots on comb and wattles
is a skin disease, commonly called
"%sorehead." 1t is highly infectious and
spreads rapidly. However, it is easily
cured, but requires individual treat
ment. BY immersing the head twice
daily in the following solution an eff
fective cure may be brought about in
a weeks time: Forty per cent alco-
hol, IS per cent g~lycerin, 5 per cent
boraclc acid and 8 per cent water. An
other satisfactory method of treating
this disease is by the use Of tincture
of iodine. This is applied by touching
the spots with a little of the solution
twice daily. Lysol applied in a SIM
liar manner, also works well.

open furrow !; this holds the drag In the
proper position. The piece to which
the hitch Is made should be set at a
vertical angle with the shorter side,
and also at q horizontal angle. The
former tends to keep the short side
parallel with the bottom Of the furrow
and the latter keeps the point pressing
slightly against the edge Of the furrow
and prevents a tendency of the drag
to jump out.
Graded terraces commonly are built
with a plow and drag scraper. A
strip is plowed, as heretofore
described, and loose earth on the up
per half of the strip is scraped up and
deposited on the lower half. BY this
method a channel is constructed for
the flow Of the water, and the earth
used to build up the embankment.
Maintenance and Cultivation.
A newly built terrace is susceptible
to failure until it becomes thorough
" settled. For. this reason 1t Is not
advisable to cultivate the terrace the
first year. 1t should be sown to some
sort Of cover crop. Breaks in ter
races in the first year tend to discour-
age a novice in the use Of terraces, but
unless the embapkment is built to an
abnormally large size breaks occur
often in newly made terraces. After
the terrace has been established per
manently, the soil should be thrown
toward the center at each blowing OF
the field, at least once a year. This
will increase the breadth and main.
tain the height Of the terrace and the
field eventually will assume an ap-
pearance of a succession Of prominent
waves, all Of which may be cultivated
easily.
In cultivating a terrace as much OF
the soil as possible should be thrown
toward It's center. The best results
are obtained where the rows r run
parallel with the terraces. At first,
usually one row Is planted on the top,
but as the terrace grows broader sew
eral rows are planted. These rows in.
variably produce a greater yield than
do those on the land between the ter
races. Where large machinery is used,
and 1t is difficult to follow the terrace
line, the rows may be run at an angle
across the terraces, where the land is
not very steep. To do this, the ter
races must be broad and must be
thrown up at least once a year to
maintain their height.
Where the rows between two adj
jacent terraces are to be laid cut par.
allel with the terraces, the same num-
Der Of rows should be u parallel
with, each terrace. Owing to the vari'
alton in distance between terraces II
then will be necessary to fill in with
short rows, generally known as point
rows" These rows are run in pairs
so as to facilitate the work Of cult
vation-

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
All types Of terraces r constructed
originally in the same way. The WORK
of construction should begin invariably
with the highest terrace in the field
and each terrace should be completed
before work is started on the one next
below. The late fall and early winter
is the best time to lay out and build
terraces. If one has not time to ter
race his whole field well 1t is better to
construct well the first few terraces
near the upper side of the field than
to terrace the whole field poorly, for a
break in a terrace ear the upper side
of the field is followed by breaks In
all below.
The terrace embankment can be
built up wholly with an ordinary turn
ing plow. A large 16-inch plow with
an extra large wing attached to the
moldboard for e~levating the dirt, is an
effective implement for throwing up a
high terrace bank. For broad terraces
burrows are thrown toward the center
line from each side for a strip Is to 70
feet in width. Then, commencing at
the center again, the strip Is ploWed In
the same manner as before. This pro-
ccedure is repeated until the terrace
has reached the desired height. Many
farmers allow the loose earth to be
settled by a rain between plowings
so that the dirt will turn better. How
ever, 1t is safer to build the terrace to
the desired height at the start for, II
q heavy rain, sufficient to overtop the
terrace, comes between plowings,
much Of the original work is undone
and considerable damage occurs from
erosion. A disk pillow can be used sue
~cessfully to throw up loose dirt, and
the ordinary road grader is employed
often and is adapted. especially to
such work.
The most commonly used and cheap
est implement for throwing up a ter
race is a wooden, V-shaped drag.
After the first three or four burrows
have been plowed on each side Of the
center line of the terrace, the drag Is
used to push the loose earth toward
the center and thus build the terrace
higher. The blowing is resumed and
the drag used again, and this is done
repeatedly until, the terrace has at
ftained the desired width. If the ter
race Is not built sufficiently high the
first time, the work Is started again
at the center and the blowing and
dragging are repeated. The longer
side Of the drag is hinged so that for
the first few burrows the hinged por-
ton is allowed to swing loose. AS the
terrace increases in width, and 1t is
desired to move the loose earth a
greater distance, the removable brace
is set in position and the hinged por-
,tion is brought into use. The short
side Of the drag is made to follow the
