ERUPTION COVERED BODY
Three years ago this winter I had
a breaking out that covered my whole
body. It itched eo It seemed as It I
should go crazy. It first came out la
little pimples on my back and spread
till It covered my whole body and
limbs down to my knees, also my arms
down to my elbows. Where I
scratched It made sores, and the ter
rible itching and burning kept me
from sleeping. I tried several reme
dies all to no purpose. Then I con
cluded to try the Cutlcura Remedies. I
used the Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura
Ointment, also the Resolvent, for
about four months, and they com
pletely cured me of eczema. I have
had no return of the disease since. I
never had a good night's rest after the
skin eruption first broke out till I com
menced using the Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment I had only used them a
few days before I could see they were
beginning to heal, and the terrible
itching was gone.
"Those that lived in the house at
the time know how I suffered, and
how the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment
cured me. I never take a bath with

do not believe there are better rem

practiced.
Where there is plenty of skimmed

be bought.
When the hogs fall to gain at least
a pound a day It is time to say good
by to them.
Get your cows started right for the
coming cold weather and they will do
well all winter.
Build a warm, dry and otherwise
comfortable room for the calves for
the cold weather.
When selecting a cow for the dairy
look and see if the eye of the ani
mal Is large and full.
This is the time of the year when
dairy cattle require better care and
more liberal feeding.
To thoroughly clean milk utensils
they first should be rinsed with cold
water, to remove all particles of
milk.
The successful feeding of lambs de
pends largely on their being offered
great variety of food while in the
yards.
Peach trees can be plantod any
time between last and first frost; the
earlier in the winter they are planted
the better.
Keep all the rotten fruit well
cleaned up around the orchard, as
these constitute the winter Quarters
of numerous orchard pests.
If all of the garden space is to
grow profitable crops, no large trees
must stand closer thsn thirty to fifty
feet from the garden fence.
The calf that Is expected to develop
Into a strong and profitable cow
should be given all the chance possi
ble during Its early period of growth.
The best results are usually obtain
ed from the work that Is systematized
and most carefully planned. This Is
not always the hardest work on the
farm.
The best way to stop a hog from
eating chickens Is to put it on the
market as soon as possible, since it
will soon lead other hogs into the bod
habit
The best milking pall Is the one so
constructed that It will reduce to a
minimum the amount of dirt falling
Into the milk during the process of
milking.
An old horseman says that the chief
cause of colic in horses, or the cause
of the largest per cent of these cases,
is brought through long abstinence
from water.
Do not neglect to secure a good
supply of fine .dust for the fowls dur
ing the coming winter, while the
ground Is yet dry and there is dust
In the road.
There is much difference In the In
dividuality of cows and their powers
to produce milk as there is in men
and their powers to perform; certain
kinds of work.
The profit In a cow comes from the
extra amount of milk she will yield
over what ahe ordinarily gives on
common pasture or the coarse feeds
usually given her.
The poultry raiser who notes his
flock carefully, taking into . account
what they are doing, and capable of
doing, ought to know more how to
feed and what to feed, than anyone
advising at long range.
It is very dangerous to pasture
stock on second growth sorghum or
Johnson grsss, as this year has been
dry in many sections and these crops
have been grown under unfavorable
conditions.
Skim milk is a good food for poul

Don't feed hay or other forage,

Tainted, musty or mouldy feeds

The best market for skim milk on

If celery Is to be brought into the

Lousy fowls are necessarily weaker
than fowls that are free from lice, and
strength and vitality are quite im
portant factors while the fowls are
producing their new suit of clothes.
If your fowls have the range of the
fields and orchards and can pick up a
number of insects and worms daily,
you will not need to bother much
about the meat supply in the ration.
The raising of poultry on the farm
or in conjunction with fruit growing,
can be made very profitable with the
same kind of management that is de
voted to raising good stock or good
grain.
Everything should be kept as clean
on the little chicks' feeding floors as
if It Is on the floor of the kitchen.
If this is done the little birds will

ESSENTIALS FOR IDEAL RAM
Among Other Important Festures Ha
Must Possess Bold, 8trong and
Masculine Face.
(By R. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
There are many essentials for an
ideal ram. First, or course, Is that be
must be a good sire. A breeder, if
you will.
Granted this condition, there are
many other important features. He
must poseess character, as Indicated
by bold carriage, strong front and a
"alrey" look. His face should be bold,
strong and masculine.
These characteristics are to be taken
as Indicative of ability to produce
these characteristics In his offspring
However, these characteristics must
be good ones; for a sire that possesses
Young Shropshire Ram.
masculinity and character, strong
ability to produce his characteristics,
must have good ones to produce, or
bis Influence Is bad.
A masculine ram of bad conforma
tion Is worse than one lacking in mas
culinity, of the same quality other
wise; because he is more apt to repro
duce his faulty qualities.
Granted, that we desire the good
qualities, what are they? We must
have a broad muzzle and nose, giving
plenty of breathing room and lots or
room for the mill, the teeth.
The neck should be short, strong
and muscular. The chest should be
deep, broad and capacious, giving to
the vital organs plenty of room.
The back should be broad, muscular
and strong a bridge as it were, to
carry all the middle of the body.
The loins should be broad and deep.
The most valuable meat Is produced
here. The rump should be long and
wide at the tall.
Supporting all this should be good,
strong legs, able to carry the body,
and pasterns and toes that are strong.
The legs should be as short as pos
sible. METAL COLLAR FOR A HORSE
Meets Much Favor With Horsemen
Because It Hardens Flesh and
Is Always Cool.
It Is a mistake to use a very sort
collar on a horse. The collar should
be as firm as It can possibly be made,
and If of leather, the surface should
be smooth, hard, and the collar itself
evenly stuffed with the best of hair,
or other fine resisting material. The
jjan who works hard with bis hands
covered with soft gloves, usually finds
at the end of a day or two that his
hands are soft, and often blistered.
A horse's flesh Is no different from a
man's, In this respect, and whenever

it comes In contact with a hard sub
stance it will, in time, become galled,
tough and able to resist continued
pressure without injury. The metal
horse collar is In great favor with
many horsemen for this reason. They
claim that it is always cool; the draft
is adjusted to the whole-neck Instead
of pulling most where the tugs are
attached, and the horse's shoulders
never become galled. -
Give Colts Grain.
Farmers, don't forget that your,
draft colts need some grain this fall.
When pastures are short a little
grain will effect wonders in a colt's
development They may be left lo
eat with the mares, but It Is better
to provide a place of tbelr own when
they get the amount Intended, for
them. There is no feed better than
oats for young stock, but It Is also a
good Idea to give a little corn. A lit
tle feed at this time will do much
to make big drafters out of them.
Sunshine in Hog Houses.
Just because sunshine is scarce in
winter is the best reason why our
hog bouses -should be so constructed
as to give the bogs every ray pos
sible. Milk for, Pigs.
For feeding to calves or pigs the
milk is better fresh and warm from
the separator, but poultry will thrive
on thick. sour milk. ' .
STORAGE OF THE ROOT CROPS
Conerete Cellar Is Economical and
Easy of Construction Pit Also
Found Satisfactory.
(By E. J. DELWICHE. Wisconsin.)
Root crops are valuable tor stock
reeding, both for tbelr content ot di
gestible nutrients ano in supplying
succulent teed for the winter months.
Uuder good conditions a large amount
or reed per acre can be grown from
roots, for this reason they nre use
fill on small farms where the amount
of land under cultivation is small.
Roots can probably be grown for
leBS than 12 per ton under favorable
conditions. The cost of production
per acre Is approximately $35 per
acre.
Mangels give the heaviest yield per
acre, with rutabagas and turnips a
close second, and carrots third.
Carrots and rutabagas are about
equal In per cent of digestible nutri
ents, and are higher In this respect
than either mangols or turnips.
Turnips and rutabagas do not keep
so well as some other roots. They
should be fed In the fall and early
winter In the order named.
Mangels and carrots keep well over
winter when properly stored.
The best place to store roots is In a
root cellar near where they are to be
fed. Such a cellar may be a part of a
barn,v basement, or it may be built
conveniently near to the stock barn.
In most places the root house can be
built most economically of concrete.
Ordinarily cement Is the only material
that has to be purchased. The gravel
and sand are usually available at no
great distance on most farms. While
the temperature in a root bouse should
never fall to the freezing point, It
should be at a low point for best re
sults in keeping roots.
When no cellar Is available, roots
may be stored In pits. For fall and
early winter feeding, they need not be
covered to any great depth. The roots
are put In a .conical pile, about four
feet in diameter on a bed of clean
straw, then covered with a layer of
two inches of long straw. Clean rye
straw Is preferred for this purpose.
The Btraw at the apex or the pile is
made to form a chimney five or six
Inches In diameter for ventilation.
Cross 8ectlon of Pit.
Dirt Is thrown on the pile to a depth
or six inches. The roots are piled as
high as possible so as to shed water.
For early winter feeding the layer
or dirt should be thicker, and in ad
dition a covering of straw or horse
manure should be placed over the
whole pile.
A concrete root house which is ac
cessible at all times is much more
satisfactory and more economical in
the long ran.
Corn silage is not considered a very
good feed for hogs nor horses.
Poorly fed sheep will not produce
very good wool, nor good mutton.
In the feeding of live stock there Is
a chance for a large leak and yet
have it unknown.
A runaway horse is only safe in the
stable with a good halter and the
stable door latched.
Skimp your sheep on good pasture
and they will skimp you on mutton.
Works both ways.
By the time the pigs are eight
weeks old tbey will be ready to wean
without any check In their growth.
Get the hogs on to new corn care
fully. It Is bard stuff to digest You
know that from personal experience.
Carry your good care of the ewes
this fall as far as feeding plenty or
nice bright oats to keep them in con
dition. Don't use a grade sire to Improve
your herd If there Is any possibility
of your securing the service of a
pure-bred.
Don't push the fat horse on hot
days, either In the fields or on the
road. Once overheated he loses half
his value.
Too much grass weakens all teams
at hard, steady work. A mn In the
grass lot or fields Sundays or rainy
days Is sufficient
You will be getting your mole sheep
for ths fall's breeding soon. Pay
enough to get a good one. There is
money In better stock.
