Storms from the northwest or south
west are usually brief, but a storm
from the northeast is likely to be long
and severe. A veering wind brings
fine weather. backing wind means
rain. These are the countryman's

FROZEN SILAGE NOT
ALWAYS DANGEROUS

Considerable frozen silage Is to be
expected at the low temperatures that
prevail during mid-winter, especially
in wooden or metal silos that are ex-
posed to north and west winds. 10
discard all frozen silage as unfit for
feed would result in much unneces-
sary waste, inasmuch as freezing itself
has but little effect on the feeding
qualities of the silage. The damage
results during the period when the 81
lage Is thawing out, at which time It
molds and decays from the bacterial
action produced by it's exposure to the
air.
Frozen silage should be removed
from the walls of the silo as soon as
it is possible to knock or pry 1t loose.
If the pieces are small and not too
numerous, they may be piled IN the
center of the silo after the morning s
feed has been removed, and here they
will often thaw. out before night. With
a large quantity of frozen silage, how
ever, or with temperature much be-
low freezing, this method will not be
practical. Instead, the frozen silage
should be piled just outside the silo,
where it can be carefully watches and
fed as soon as 1t is reasonably well
thawed out. To leave it longer will
result in it's becoming moldy and unfit
for USE
The presence Of small pieces Of frOz-
on Silage in the ration need occasion
no alarm, as no trouble is usually en-
countered from them. To feed any
considerable quantity of frozen silage,
however, is highly inadvisable. Not
only is such material highly unpalat-
able and eaten with considerable diff
sficulty, but also it is likely to cause
serious arrangements of the digestive
tract Excessive securing is one OF
the common after-effects of feeding
frozen silage.-R. r. Snapp, Univer-
sity of Illinois.

Townships Compete in
improvements Of Cattle

Fairview township in Clay county,
s. D., won first prize in an intertown-
ship contest to replace the most scrub
and grade bulls with pure breds. AS
reported to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture by County Agent
J. Bland Hill, of Clay county, the six
competing townships replaced ten
grade bulls with pure breds in the con-
test. OF these Fairview township is
credited with four.
While the number is not large, 1t
marks friendly rivalry in cattle i'm
provement, sand is believed to result
also in various indirect benefits. The
contest was sponsored by the Clay
county farm bureau and the Vermilion
Commercial club, which is business
organization in Clay county.

Lightning Not Zigzog

Down to the middle of the Nine
teenth century people did not even
know what lightning looks like. For
ages artists had been drawing and
painting it in .zigzag streaks, with
sharp angles. In 1856 James Nasmyth,
the famous Scottish engineer. ex-
pressed doubts about the existence of
such lightning, says Nature Magazine.
Shortly afterward lightning began to
be photographed, and it was thus
found never to be angular, but always
more or less sinuous, like a river with
numerous branches.

Quality of Wool

Many conditions affect the quality
of the wool. Disease impairs it.. Ex-
posture to sudden climatic changes OF
weather, or the lack of proper pro-
lection against storms, weakens the
fiber Of an otherwise good quality OF
wool. Sheep, to grow prontaDle
wool crop, must be well nour-
ished, and provided with adequate
shelter during the winter and spring
months. Sheep to produce good
quality Of wool must never be allowed

The Fault or the Climate
Il has been a good many years now
ten or twelve, anyhow-since an en-
terprising promoter undertook to put
on in Greater New York a creditable
imitation Of Frontier Day celebra-
ton and roundup, such as are insti-
buttons at Cheyenne, Wyo., and Pendle-
ton. Ore, and other far Western
towns. His intentions were good and
his plans were ambitious, but he failed
to reckon into the proposition the fact
that the average New Yorker hadn't
the faintest idea what the thing was
all about, and thereupon failed TO at
tend the show.
The lamentable result was that the
enterprise collapsed. The champion
punchers and busters and ropers Of
the West, who had been drawn across
the continent by the promise of good
pay and fat prizes, were left stranded
in the great city to make their way

Raise Pigs by Hand

It requires lots of patience to raise
pigs by hand. During the first few
days of their life they must be fed
very frequently, about every two or
three hours. The milk must be
warmed for them, 100 degrees Fahren-
heit, and it must be clean. Use whole
cows milk. Some use bottle with
a nipple but spoon may also be
used Give plenty of good fresh clean
water and give grain IS soon as they
will eat it.

Ice Water Is Harmful

One thing that retards the growth
and development of fall pigs is forcing
them to drink cold or icy water. It
is harmful for two reasons: They
won't drink as much water as they
should and it chills them so badly
they will not eat as we'll as they 9TH
erwise would Give them warm water
and give them most of it during the
early part of the day. Give them a
little real warm water in the evening.
If they have warm bed they will
then keep comfortable and warm all
night long.

When a child has commissions a
doctor should be sent for Immediately
While waiting for the doctor, the child
should be immersed up to its neck in a
bath of warm water. The tempera-
ture of the bath should be between So
and 100 degrees Fahrenheit. While
the child is in the bath cold water
should be applied to it's head.
Emptying the bowel by means of an
enema will sometimes help to stop the
commissions.
Like other symptoms, an attack Of
commissions indicates that something
is wrong. A careful search should be
made for the hygenic fault, disease or
defect that caused it. Quite often there
is some error in the feeding. What
ever the cause, it should be removed
whenever possible, in order to lessen
the likelihood Of the occurrence Of
more commissions.

RepB-There are several different
causes Of dizziness. 1t often comes
from digestive disturbances. Some
times the trouble is caused by some
defect of the eye, or disease of the
inner ear. High blood pressure may
be the cause. Disturbances of the
brain and nervous system are among
the more serious causes.
The treatment depends on the cause

we can think of to make him stop it

Is there anything that can be done
to make him overcome it,"

Have him examined for adenoids and
tonsillar infections, and have his eyes
carefully tested. If there is any phys
zeal fault, it should, of course, receive
suitable treatment. Good food, plenty
of sleep, staying outdoors as much as
possible when the weather permits,
and the avoidance of too much study
and reading should help. Attention
to the general health and training
usually bring about a cure.

Very few symptoms that occur IN
children are more alarming than an
attack of convulsions. These attacks
are most likely to occur daring the
first two years of life. For, at that
time, the nervous system OF the child
is very delicate. 1t is readily irri-
tated and rendered unstable even by
apparently slight csxses.
The seriousness OF an attack of
commissions depends on the serious
ness of its cause. And the cause is
not always apparent during the at
tack.
Irritation of the stomach and in
testines resulting from indigestion is
generally regarded as the most COM
mon cause. A spasm may be one of
the first symptoms of an infectious
disease. Scarlet fever, measles, and
pneumonia often begin in this way.
inflammation of the middle ear is
another frequent cause of commissions.
Or more serious trouble, such as dis
ease of the brain or its coverings, the
meninges, or defect or injury of the
skull, may be present.
May Lead To Epilepsy
Some children who have frequent
commissions when they are babies have
epilepsy when they are older.
