WATER FOR COWS IN WINTER
IF Possible 1t Should Be IS or 20 De-
grees Above Freezing-Steam
Boiler is Handy.

During the winter when COWS are
stabbed the greater part OF the time,
they should be watered two or three
times a day unless arrangements have
been made to keep water before them
ut all times, says the United States
Department of Agriculture, in Farm
ers' Bulletin 743. THE Feeding of
Dairy Cows" The water should if
possible be 10 or 20 degrees above
freezing. and should be supplied at
practically the same temperature ev-
cry day. When water well above freez-
ing temperature is stored in tanks
and piped directly TO the cow. there
is probably little occasion to warm it
When it stands in a tank on which ice
often forms, it usually pays TO warm
it slightly. This can be done by a
tank heater, by live steam or by hot
water from a boiler. If a boiler is
used for running a separator or for
heating water to wash and sterilize
utensils. steam from it can readily and
cheaply be used TO warm the drinking
water.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it Is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, - at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason Is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer Tins
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are ia need of It.
4 prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmers Swamp-R0ot, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of ny customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation. the success Of DIR.
kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulhlls al
most every wish IN overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

COST OF PORK PRODUCTION
Records Easily Kept Will Show Breeder
If His Profit Is d Fair One,
or the Reverse.

Before it is possible to determine
profit or loss, il is necessary to know
the cost of production. Investigations
of farm costs of pork, made by the
University of Minnesota. gave the fol-
lowing results for 100 pounds of
salable hog:
Feed. 5c4 pounds: labor, man, 60
hours labor horse. Q hour; cash ex-
pense. "A cents; general expense, 1913
cents; interest. &c cent.
The only items of cost that are not
accounted for are shelter and equip
ment. For hogs fattened in the fall
and sold in the early winter, this
would be a small item.
It is a simple matter to determine
the cost Of pork production by sup
plying local values to the amounts or
feed and labor required. General ex-
pense covers general labor not d.
rectIy connected with hog feeding.
