How I Cured Sweeny and Fistula. “I want to tell you how I saved one of our horses that had a fistula. We had the horse doctor out and he said it was so bad that he did not think he could cure it, and did not come again. Then we tried Sloan’s Lini- ment and it cured it up nicely. “One day last spring I was plowing for a neighbor who had a horse with sweeny, and 1 told him about Sloan’s Liniment and he had me get a bottle for him, and it cured his horse all right, and he goes off now like a colt. “We had a horse that had sweeny awfully bad, and we thought it was never going to be any good, but we used Sloan’s Liniment and it cured it up nicely. I told another neighbor about it and he said it was the best Liniment he ever used. “We are using Sloan’s Sure Colic Cure and we think it is all right.” A. D. Bruce, Aurelia, Ia.

Nothing Would Help Him—Mother Almost in Despair—Owes Quick to Cuticura. “Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. I doctored . him, but as soon as I.got them healed up in one place they would break out in an- other. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then I began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and after using them three times the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Remedies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recom- mend them to any one who is suffering ~ likewise.

Make Better Butter. A farmer's wife asks why cream- eries are paid so much more for their product than people are willing to pay for country-made butter. I will tell you why, and I want to be plain. It is because the creameries make bet- ter and a more uniform grade. That sweet, delicate flavor of the highest grade of butter comes from pure, rich cream, that has been right- ly handled. Creameries employ all possible means to keep their cream in perfect condition until it is made into butter. To secure a better grade of country butter, we must begin with the milk when it is taken from the cows, and handle it with scrupulous care until the cream is ready to churn. —L. C. B, in Indiana Farmer. Removing Stones. In regard to picking up stones, do I understand you turn the A harrow around the other way and remove the front teech? or how? My land is full of those small stones, and I should be pleased to obtain help to get rid of them. H. A. L. The stone gatherer mentioned on P. 312, 1907, is simiply’a one-horse cultivator, A-shape, drawn point forward. The harrow’s spike teeth gradually push the stones out- ward, and by passing twice in a place the stones assume a row-like position ready for the loading fork. Another style, drawn by a team, has a cross- bar and pole cross-bar filled with teeth, bar 3 to 5 feet long, teeth 3 or 4 inches apart. You simply lift to dump it and the stones may be left in rows.—R. H. Dixon in the Country Gentleman. Anchoring a Wire Fence. We notice that many farmers who use woven wire fencing have them staked down by cris-crossing small stakes over the bottom wire in order to prevent hogs creeping and forcing their way under and into adjacent fields where they are not wanted. ‘We use a better method. each post we dig down eighteen inches and place a loop of heavy galvanized wire and into each hole sink a small stone or piece of old casting and cover deeply. Then with our foot we hold the fencing tight to the ground surface and with the pliers twist the ends of the buried wire about the bottom fence wire. This makes an anchor that lasts as loniz as the fence lasts and .is not rotting off or being lifted with. the frosts every winter as stakes do. If the fence posts are exceptionally far apart two or three of these an- chors may be placed between each post.—George W. Brown in the Epit- omist. Large Breed, Large Horses. . Weight and power are the telling points which have won favor for the Shire horses in America and else- where. , No. other breed , produces draughters that can throw into the collar more concentrated force than they. Stallions that tip the scale beam at 2500 pounds are not urncom- mon, and geldings that weigh upward of a ton can be seen almost any day in the great Bull's Head horse market where fancy draughters are sold. The prevailing color of the Shires is a yel- low bay, and there is a strong tendency to white faces and legs. From the knees and hocks down the legs of the Shires are feathered with an extraor- dinary growth of long, coarse hair, which in England is considered one of the show points of the breed, though many users of draught horses object to it here. In snap, action and quality the Shire is no match for the French draught horse, which seems strange when it is remembered that English breeders have close at hand in their thoroughbreds the source of pretty much all quality in modern horse- flesh.—New York Herald.

New York—R. G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Review of Trade” says: “Light weight wearng apparel is in better demand in response to’ more seasonable weather, but retail trade, , as a whole, shows little alteration, and and if you don't see what you want write us and we will gladly put you next to the right proposition. The old statement that the ram is half the flock is just as true now as it ever was, and no beginner should start without a good kind of a sire. Wheth- er you are a breeder or a feeder, do your work methodically and with a definite purpose in view. The men who have succeeded are those who have followed this plan. This idea holds good in feeding as much as in breeding and as a rule the man who buys superior stock gets a superior price when they are ready to go to market.—Shepherd’s Criterion. Moras Corn Per Acre. A few years ago we heard a good deal about increasing the profein con- tent of corn, so that it might be in itself a better balanced feed for live stock. Now comparatively little is said about this. The clovers including al- falfa, other legumes such as soy beans and cow peas, and concentrated feeds are and will probably continue our main sources of protein. The farmers as well as the corn improvers of this country have realized that the greatest ‘work to he done with corn, the most important and profitable iniprovement to be made in it now, is to increase the yield per acre. entirety this is a mighty problem; in- volving the seed, the cultivation,” ‘the improvement of the soil and the many and vital questions that arise in each of these three main divisions. With all these things under consideration it is not surprising that little attention has been paid to protein content. The people of this country feel that they can get along without more protein if they can get more good corn and no doubt they are cerrect in this view. When an increase of five bushels per acre means an addition of 475,000,000 bushels to our crop, we see something of possibilities of a general movement for corn improvement. Professor Christie of Indiana showed .in a local | test that some corn yielded twice as much as other corn on the same ground and with the same treatment. And he showed one farmer then and there how he had failed to harvest $19,- 000 worth of corn simply because he had for years raised the wrong varie- ty for his section. An extreme case, no doubt, but such are the possibili- ties to the individual, in the corn prob- lem, and yet this matter of variety is only one phase of the great problem that is and should have first place with American corn producers. The work of growing more corn to the acre has barely begun. men have been credited with increas- ing the average yield of their state several bushels per acre; but their work has not yet progressed far enough to affect averages materially. They were given this big credit in a good corn year, when nature assisted them. But the work is under way, the enthusiasm is growing, and averages will be affected ultimately by the slo- an “More corn per acre!’—National Stockman and Farmer. Farm Notes. The fruit grower who makes ap- ples, peaches, pears and plums his specialty may also add poultry to his business, as the birds can occupy the same ground with the trees. The or- chard provides shade for poultry in summer, while the fowls greatly as- sist in the destruction of many insects that infest the orchard. The sheep-killing dcz should be placed on the same footing as one afilicted with hydrophobia. Nobody asks any questions regarding = what should be done with a rabid animal, yet a sheep thief does ten tinies more damage than a mad dog. Corn on the cob and refuse—which consists almost entirely of grains re- duced to charcocal—and still retaining their perfect shape—placed before fowls is greedily eaten by them with a marked improvement in their health, as shown by the brighter color of their combs and their sconer produc- ing a greater average of eggs to the flock than before. As soon as possible in spring all trees nlanted within a year should be straightened where loosened by frost. Inattention to this point has made all of our old orchards lean away from the prevailing winds. The evil is worse as the country grows older and the winds have a free sweep. It is all right to raise seeds for home use, but they are seldom as good as those raised by a reliable seedsman. Send for a catalogue,” look it over carefully, make judicious selections and tave the seeds ready when the planting season comes. Most people plant gar- den seeds too early, the plants are chilled by the cold of early spring, turn yellow, are ‘stunted and never wholly recover from the effects of the setback. It is better to wait until the ground is warm and in a good con- dition to be worked.

Stocks accumulate in some departments, but as a rule job- bing houses are in a healthy condi- , tion as to the size of supplies. “In men’s wear woolens most man- ufacturers have secured a fair distri- bution of sample pieces, and antici- pate duplicate orders in sufficient number to absorb the season’s output. “Footwear factories are curtailing production, and shipments from Bos- ton continu light.

These contrasts are placed for Immediate delivery, but there is little inquiry for staple lines, and the higher priced black goods are excep- tionally dull. “Trade at the West has Sto fallen off, but is still relatively better than in New England.

The naval demonstration of 1854 marked the beginning of the relations of Japan and the United States, relations which in commerce and diplomacy have been of unbroken friendliness and mutual advantage. There is no present reascn to doubt that the coming visit of the fleet, with its impressive revelation of the revolution which~has taken place in naval affairs in the half century and more that has elapsed since Perry’s sidewheelers churned the waters of the Bay of Yeddo, will cement that | friendship and lead to a clearer ap- preciation on both sides of the im- portance of preserving that happy relation unbroken and untarnished by distrust and suspicion.—Philadel- phia Public Ledger.
