Within ten minutes after an appli-

scalp.
A little Dandcrine Immediately d0u-

scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Dahderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect Is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an Incompatible lustpr,
Softncss and luXuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or

all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if yea will just try lit,

cows FOR MACHINE MILKING
Farmers Should Study Herd From
Standpoint Of Fitness-Avoid
Defective Uddere.

(By PROF. C. LARSEN, South Dakota
State Collese.)
Dairy farmers who wish to use milk
ing machines should study their herd
from the standpoint of fitness for a
milking machine. The reason why
some men are successful with milking
machines and others are not can be
traced in part to the difference in COWS.
When the milking machine is in
stalled the owner will have better sue
cess If he will Gull out the cows that
do not readily and completely give
down their milk, COWS with uneven ud-
der and placement Of teats and COWS
with very fleshy teats. Some herds
may not contain any defective cows,
some may contain one or two and some
herds may contain several.
Cows with such defective udders and
teats should never be used as fOunda-
ton cows. The heifer calves from the
COWS that milk easily by machine
should be selected. 1t is especially i'm
portant to select a herd bull that comes
from ancestors that have Well-fOrmed
mammary organs, and better still to
select q proved herd bull that is known
to produce daughters Of large, symmet-
rical and well-placed teatS of good
quality.

SATISFACTORY RULE
FOR MEASURING FAY
Expert of Washington Expert
ment Station Tells How to
Approximate Weight.
tBy E. G. SCHAFER, Washington Ex-
nerinent Sta+iOn.(

tBy e. G. SCHAFER. Washington Ex-
pertinent Sta.ion)
Eliminating the number of tons OF
hay in a stack by measuring is often
resorted to when it Is inconvenient or
impractical to weigh it. 1t is impos-
sible to give q rule for measuring hay
which is entirely satisfactory. The
following one has often been used and
approximates the correct weight:
"Width plus over, divided by four
and squared, then multiplied by the
length and divided by 512."
The above rule assumes that the
cross section of a stack may be OBJ
tanned by dividing the width plus over
measurement by four and squaring it,
Stacks vary so much in shape that
this cannot be absolutely true with all
stacks. The above rule also assumes
that there are 512 cubic feet in ton.
The length Of time q stack has been
built, the size Of stack or the amount
1t has settled, also the kind Of hay
all influence the weight Of certain
volume of hay. The above or other
rules should not be relied upon unless
it is impossible to weigh hay when
1t is sold.
Problem-Assume that haystack
measures IS feet wide, 26 feet over
distance from ground on one side
up over the stack and to the ground
on other side) and 30 feet long.
The solution would be: IS plus 26
EQUALS IS; A divided by equals IL;
IL squared equals 121; 121 times 30
equals $3.50 cubic feet in stack; $3.50
divided by 512 equals 100 tons.

SUITABLE PLACE FOR cows
Stalls Should Be Provided for Each
AnimaI-PIenty of Ventilation
Is Recommended.

To give best results milch COWS
should be provided with suitable quar-
ters for feeding and milking. Stalls
should be provided for each COW and
feed boxes and manger racks should
be so arranged that they will be Of
easy access for cleaning at least once
every day. Twenty-Five dollars, plus
the labor, should fit any ordinary barn
with stalls for five COWS and the ieces-
sary feed boxes, managers, and cutters.
Plenty of ventilation is necessary, be-
cause the COW is somewhat like the
human being, she thrives best where
there is plenty of fresh air available.
Provision should be made to take care
of the manure. This can be done by
providing plenty of bedding in box
stalls, or, if stanchions are used, by
having water-tight cutters about IA
inches wide and 10 inches deep rum
ming full length of the stable.

OvercrOwding in the henhOuso is one

Kansas state agricultural college.
Egg production is lowered as q re-

Mr.. Sherwood. EVERY fowl in the

Preparc,i by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
HumuS and nitrogen are lacking
more or less in the southern Idaho
soils. and the dry farmer on the plains
is handicapped in furnishing these ele-
ments, because of lack of sufficient
moisture In the soil to rot any great
quantity of vegetable matter. Straw,
manure, and legumes should be used
to help build up the dry-land soils, but
owing to the light rainfall this must
be done very slowly.
The dry-farm soils, if properly
farmed, will yield good returns. If a
profitable rotation can be planned, q
permanent dry-farm agriculture prac-
tically is assured.
Importance of Good Seed.
The selection and treatment of seed,
particularly wheat, is important. Wheat
growers and seedsmen often claim that
wheat 'riins out" Some OF the best
farmers in southern Idaho ship In
Turkey wheat from other localities
every three or four years because they
say their seed is running out. These
growers think that yields decrease and
the percentage Of yellow berry in
creases each year the crop is grown.
This is not rcahs The case. If prop
erly handled, the quality Of the crop
can be improved or ut least maintained
as long as it is grown in q community.
The variety becomes adapted to local
climatic conditions. If the conditions
are severe, only the best and most fit
plants survive.
The results Of many experiments
prove conclusively that the source Of
seed has nothing to do with the pro-
portion of yellow berry in the crop in
any year. 1t is proved also that de-
creased yields need not result from
using home grown seed. Other fac
tors are responsible for the low yields.
Grading Seed.
Grading the seed with tanning mill
will Go more to maintain yields than
the introduction Of new seed. Blow
out all the chaff, straw and shrunken
kernels. Sow only plump seed. which

Japanese Trade in Manchuria.

Mr.. Yoshida, who was selected by
the japanese government to investi-
gate commercial conditions in Man
churia, has made a report giving de-
tails of the trade. About one month is
required to transport goods from
Osaka to Harbin, even by passenger
train. The principal Japanese prod
ucts that are sent from Harbin to Ed
ropean Russia are hosiery, underwear,
shoe sOles, cotton textiles, medicines,
isinglass and insulated electric wire.
Since the middle of August an import
tax has been assessed upon hosiery
and underwear by the Russian Man
churian customs. The trade Of North
Manchuria is on the road to prosper
ity, on account of the increased pop
ulati0n and the development Of agri-
culture. Harbin is regarded Us the CEN

GREEN MANURING is
GOOD ON new FARMS
Satisfactory Results Obtained
Where Soil Is Deficient in
Organic Matter.
By M. J. THOMPSON, Superintendent
Marthanct E1Iaarir,acnt StatiQya /

By M. J. THOMPSON, Superintendent
Northeast Experiment Station)
On some of the newer northern
farms the soil is rather short in Or
ganic matter. With small clearings it
is necessary to work the land inten-
sively, and with small herds the guam
tity Of manure available is insufficient
to maintain fertility. Consequently
animal manure must be supplemented
by something else.
To meet this situation the North
east experiment station at Duluth uses
the following plan in the orchard set
out in 1915: A crop of rutabagas is
grown among the trees. After this is
harvested the ground is disked, and
crop of rye is sown. This is turned
under the following June and the land
is replanted to root crop.
This is what is called grecn-manur-
ing. If it is done with care to prevent
the possible souring Of the soil after
several years, excellent results ensue.

Wf1V rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather !
BY VALENTINE MOTT PIERCE, M. d.

"A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
gout, or creaky joints, or swollen fngers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
ef the double burden. Another reason

Hens should be fed in loose straw so
that they will be forced to exercise in
order to get feed.
"Colds are caused by lack Of venti-
lation and in a crowded building venti-
lation is often impossible because in
obtaining air circulation drafts will
be created. Roup often develops as
the result of a cold.
when chickens are confined
throughout the year they require more
space in summer than in winter.
Where hens are not confined contin-
uously, they seek relief from over
crowded conditions by wandering away
from the flock and finding shelter in
poorly-constructed outbuildings or in
trees.
ut has been found that the fertility
of eggs laid by hens kept in close con-
finement is lessened. This is due to
the fact that weakened condition in
the hen gives rise to weak germ in
the egg."
