SELF-FEEDERS SAVE KAY AND CONSIDERABLE LABOR I According to Teats Kidt at Colorado Experiment Station Fi'.lly 20 P<.r Cent, ot Fcecl Is Wasted by Old Method of Feeding. Self-feeder racks for supplying ; roughage to sheep or cattle arc not only the means of saving considerable labor, but, according to test* made at the Colorado experiment sintion, are the means cf saving a great deal of hay. One lot of lambs at this station were fed whole hay in a self-feeder rack and another lot whole hay in racks 011 the ground, such as are in common use In many sections of the country. The average gain of these two lots was practically the same, the lot feeding from the self-feeder averaging only one pound heavier than the other?, says the American Agriculturist. Also, the grriin con sumed varied but little, being only nine pounds more for a 100-pound gain in the first lot than in the sec ond. The great saving came in the cost of roughage. The lot eating from the self-feeder consumed (iOl pounds of hay for each Popular Type of Grain Trough. 100 pounds of gain and those eating i chopped hay better results may be se ofl the ground consumed 733 pounds cured from it than have hitherto been of hay for each 100 pounds of gain, possible, by reducing the waste caused This indicates a difference of prac- i by wind. RUSSIA GAINS IN FARMING Prevailing Impression That Little Progress Is Made in That Country Is Erroneous—Series o { Readings Gratis. i ——— (By J. B. SNODORASS.) The impression generally prevails that, although Russia is most gen erously favored by nature, little prog ress is being made in agriculture. Thlb is erroneous. As an illustration of the interest that is being manifested along these lines, and as indicative of the pro gressive policy that has been adopted and is now being pursued, it may be cited that the Imperial Agricultural museum, in its endeavor to popular ize the study of agricultural subjects, has for the last few years conducted gratis, at the museum in St.. Peters burg, a series of systematic readings on agriculture for the benfit of every ine interested. In addition to this course, popular lectures are delivered and special readings conducted for men in the lower ranks of the army. In the experimental department of the museum the taking apart and putting together of various machinery is demonstrated by trained mechanics. Agricultural machinery in motion is also demonstrated and the use of ag ricultural implements is explained; experiments are also made with all classes of farm machinery, such as locomobiles, winnowers, sorters, and the like. In separate' departments are demonstrated the fertilization of the fish spawn and the development of the chicken In the incubator. The attendance at these lectures has been uninterruptedly increasing from year to year. For the past four years the attendance haH been: 6.093, IT.BM, 32.412, r.o.showing great I increase. The lectures are delivered in the evening from seven to nine and on Sun day from two to three p. m. The prac ' tical work and excursions are conduct ed by prearrangements between the lecturers and the students, such as EAR MARKS FOR LIVE STOCK 200 3^^loo RiirtT Jlwi.

It makes a differ ence of 42 cents in the cost securing each 100 pounds of grain. These re sulls were secured on alfalfa valued at $5 per ton. With a higher price the difference would be corresponding ly greater. These self-feeding racks cost ?1 per running foot completed. They had the ordinary capacity of four lambs per running foot, two on each side, not. so much space bring required at a self feeder as at an ordinary rack, sineo all the lambs will not eat. at one time. As already stated, the saving in this one experiment amounted to 42, cents per 100 pounds of gain. This is equal to about. 14 cents on each lamb. Count ing foui lambs per running foot, this would make a saving on one season's operations of 56 cents. In other words, the rack would pay for itself in two years. It is thought that, when a type of self-feeder is developed for handling trips to exhibitions and farm in the suburbs, and even to stockyards and slaughter houses. Likewise the special classes pass through practically everything per j taining to plant culture, stock raising, I poultry raising, bee culture and dairy farming, with all that pertains to the latter, such as butter and cheese ma/- king. In the present scholastic season the courses of the systematic lectures will embrace the following academic sub jects: Elementary chemistry, element ary anatomy, physiology of plants, improvement and cultivation of the soil, agricultural meterorology, agri cultural economy, seeds, agricultural Implements, cattle raising, swine rais ing, etc. On Sundays it is intended to con duct. popular public readings and lec tures on a variety of agricultural sub jects. Feed for Lambs. The Wyoming experiment station, after repeated trials, concludes that corn and the bearded or Scotch bar ley, when fed with alfalfa, were about equal in value for mutton production. Barley in this test proved to be a shade the better. Twenty-seven per cent, less alfalfa and 28 per cent, less grain were required where barley re placed either in a ration. Orade lambs with mutton sires made greater gains, conditions being similar, than did Ramhouillet lambs, though a record of food consumption for each class was not kept. Draft Horses. Draft horses are suitable for rals- J ing on level land, while lighter horses and mules are best adapted to hilly farms. Horses designed for the sad dle and road use will develop activity and stamina on rough and hilly pas ture land while they are young. Litter for Scratching. Every month during the winter sea son the poultry bulidings should be 1 v. ell supplied with clean si raw. leaves or litter of some kind into which the feed is thrown in the morning to keep the liens busy. ••(jUtUn III; twu iMli ln-i. «.|i»«| Jo \ »'.l i In ■u|i of rig lit i ttr «'<iiiln Ui.

COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING FROM SKIN ERUPTION "I heva been using Cuticura Soap 1 and Cuticura Ointment for the past three months and I am glad to say | that they cured me of a most annoy ing skin eruption. It began by my no ticing red blotches appearing on my face and scalp. Although they were rather disfiguring, I did not think any thing of them until thoy began to get scaly and dry and to itch and burn until I could not stand the suffering. Then I began to use a different soap, thinking that my old kind might be hurting me, but that didn't seem to do any good. I went to two different doc tors but neither seemed to relieve me any. I lost many nights' sleep in con tinual scratching, sometimes scratch ing till I drew the blood on my face and head. Then I started into use the Cuticura Remedies and in two months I was entirely relieved of that awful pest. I am bo delighted over my cure by Cuticura Remedies that I shall be glad to tell anybody about it." (Signed) G. M. Macfarland, 221 West 115 th St., New York City, Oct. 5, 1910.
