CHAPPED TEATS DURING FALL
Cold Weather is Blamed for Annoy
anee-Also Caused by Milking
With Wet Hands.

Sore teats often cause annoyance
during the fall season. This trouble
may be caused by cold weather. by
milking with wet hands or other To-
cal irritation. When a COW is so'af-
fected she does not stand quietly for
milking on account OF the pain.
The trouble is usually remedled
without much trouble. The appllca-
tlon OF yaseline for a few times on
the first appearance OF the trouble will
usually check and cure II. II severe,
the teats should be thoroughly washed
and softened with warm water. after
which glycerln or tannin which may
be had at any drug store may be ap-
piled with advantage. One applica.
tlon followed by the use Of vaseline
at each milking for few days will
usually entirely cure the trouble.

ROTATE TO DESTROY INSECTS
Working Soil at Different Seasons Of
Year Keeps Down Weeds and
Injurious Bugs.

Weeds and insects are more easily
controlled by practicing a rotation be-
cause. for different crops. the soil is
worked at different seasons OF the
year. and thus weeds which are preva-
lent at one season may be destroyed by
growing spring crop and those preva-
lent In another season by growing a
crop for which the ground is worked
IN the fall. The same is true OF in
sects which affect one crop but not an
other; thus, by rotating crops on a
held insects are also largely de-
stroyed.

For Heavy Yields

Selecting, curing. and testing
seed corn VIII do more toward
producing better and bigger
corn crop than anything else. By
careful selection the farmer i'm
proves his corn and is able TO
produce larger, heavier and bet
ter ears. BY properly curing
seed corn he insures himself
against seed OF low vitality; and
by a termination test he avoids
sterile ears and plants only seed
that will give the most profitable
returns.-R. A. Moore, Wlscon-
