COMFORTABLE BARN
FOR COLD WEATHER
Colts Should Not Be Housed in
UncIean, Poorly Lighted or
Open Buildings.

Comfortable, sanitary quarters for
use in time of storm and severe wealth
er should be provided for colts in the
winter time, according to DR.. G. w.
McCampbell, associate professor Of
animal husbandry in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
Colts should not be housed in I'M
clean, poorly lighted, or poorly venti-
lated sheds or barns-neither should
they be compelled to expose them
selves to the storms and cold weather.
In a colt-growing experiment con-
Quoted by the animal husbandry de-
partment of the Kansas agricultural
experiment station, 20 colts were pro-
vided with a shed open to the south.
The results obtained show that such
protection is sufficient for this locality.
The sheds were kept clean and well
bedded. The colts were allowed to
come and go as they pleased. 1t was
observed that they remained in the
open a large portion of the time seek
ing shelter only in times of storm and
severest weather.

SELECT SOWS EARLY
FOR BREEDING HERD
Condition and Thrift of Animals
Have Bearing Upon Lit
tiers to Be FarroWed.

The condition and thrift Of the
breeding herd during the breeding sea-
son have an important effect upon the
filters the sows are to farrow, accord
ing to Ray Gatewood, instructor in ami
NAL husbandry in the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college.
"The SOws for the herd should be
selected early and placed in lots ac-
cording to age and condition." said
Mr.. Gatewood. '"This work should be-
gin about two weeks before the breed
ing season, so that the sowS may be in
a gaining condition at the time they
are bred. Sows at this time should re-
ceive, in addition to their grain ration,
as much range as possible.
'"The grain ration should be well
balanced and may be made up of corn,
shorts, tankage and kafir or similar
feeds. When pasture Is no longer
available it Is advisable to give the
sows free access to alfalfa hay. The
last cutting is the best and should be
fed in racks to prevent waste.
'The boar also should be In thrifty
condition. He may receive the same
ration as the sows and should be fed
literally.
1T is a good practice to place the
boar in a pen where he may occasion
ally see the sOws. 1t is not advisable
to let him range with the sows as he
will annoy them and keep them from
doing well, and will also make it i'm
possible to keep breeding records"

are kept in high condition, as show
sheep often are, the process of replac-
ing the milk teeth with the permanent
ones will be fastened; on the con-
trary, a lack of proper feed will retard
the process.
Determine Roughly.
Although it is not possible to tell
the age of sheep by the teeth with ac-
curacy, after they have a full set, it
may be determined roughly by the
condition of the teeth. AS the sheep
gets older the teeth are worn down.
AS the teeth may become broken and
lost, thus affecting the ability of the
sheep to feed, all older sheep should
be examined to note if the teeth are in
working condition.
In examining the mouths of sheep
one should be patient and not be rough
in the exertion of force. With one
hand holding the head against the
thigh to steady it, the lips should be
parted with the first two fingers of the
other hand. If this is done quietly
and gently, there will be little diff
Guilty in exposing the teeth.

OUR BOYS in FRANCE AND
HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One In
four of our boys at home was sick, re-
jected because of physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or If we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce Of
the Surgical Institute, Buffalo. N. Y. says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily before meals. Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
II we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet of milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once day.
Is the most suitable. Drink plenty OF
pure water, take Anuric three times a day
for a month. 1t sells for Coo.
Step into the drug store and ask for
a sixty-cent package of Anuric, or send
DIR. Pierce 1Oc for trial pkg. Anuric. many
times more potent than lithia, eliminates
uric acid as hot water melts sugar. A
short trial will convince you.

In the brief, bright, nightless sum- mer the Arctic is a paradise of flowers. It would seem to be a compensation of Dame Nature for the long winter. during which the sun never shows his jolly face once, observes correspond ent.
 A great many of these plants have of late years become familiar to gar den lovers because they are much used in rock gardens, and every flower lover knows their delicacy of structure, their brightness of color and their hardi- hood.
 But nothing can beat their original environment. These patches of yellow and blue and rose and purple. cheek by jOwl with great beds of snow or some stranded and long unmelted berg, look lovely. It is the setting they were made for.
 Strangely enough, when brought south and coaxed to grow in our gar dens, these Arctic and Alpine plants lose both part of their great vitality and their lovely tint. They pine for the Arctic like the Eskimo does.
 Nansen tells of delicate bluebells holding .n the breeze, saxifrages with large blossoms, pale yellow mountain peoples, white cloudberry flowers, and blue forget-me-nots in countless mill lions in the neighborhood of the north pole.
