It’s this way:
You can burn yourself with Fire, with
Powder, etc., or you can scald yourself
with Steam or Hot Water, but there is
only one proper way to cure a burn or
scald and that is by using
Mexican
Mustang Liniment.
It gives immediate relief. Get a piece of soft old
i linen cloth, saturate it with this liniment and bind
loosely upon the wound. You can have no adequate
idea what an excellent remedy this is for a burn until
you have tried it.
A rms/1 TIP If you have a bird afflicted with Roup or any
r V a If &» I • other poultry disease use Mexican Mustang
Liniment. It is called a standard remedy by poultry breeders.
THE CROP REPORT.
The Lowest October Average For
Corn Ever ttecorficd.
The monthly report of the statistician
of the department of agriculture shows
the average condition of corn on Oet. 1
to have been 52.1 as compared with
51.7 last month, 7S.2 on Oet. 1, 1900;
52.7 at the corresponding date in 1899,
and 81.S, the mean of the October av
erages of the last ten years.
The average for the entire country is
the lowest October average ever re
corded.
The preliminary estimate of the yield
per acre of oats is 25.1 bushels as com
pared with 29.G bushels on Oct. 1, 1900;
80.7 bushels at the corresponding date
in 1899, and 27.2 bushels, the mean of
the October estimates for tbe last ten
years. The average for quality is S3.7
against S9.2 last year and S9.5 in 1S99.
The preliminary estimate of the yield
per acre of barley is 24.7 bushels as
compared with 20.4 bushels on Oet. 1,
1900; 27 bushels at the corresponding
date in 1399, and 23.4 bushels, the mean
of the October estimates of the last ten
years. The average for quality is 89.2
against S2.1 last year and SS.4 in 1899.
The preliminary estimate of the yield
per acre of rye is 15.1 bushels as com
pared with 15.1 bushels on Oct. 1, 1900;
14.4 bushels at the corresponding date
in 1899, and 14.3 bushels, the mean of
the October estimates of the last ten
years. The average for quality is S9.4
against 92 last year and 90 in 1S99.
Tiie average condition of buckwheat
on Oct. 1 was 90.5 as compared with
!ii).9 last month, 72.8 on Oct. 1, 1901;
70.2 at the corresponding date in 1S99,
and 80.5, tlie mean of the October av
erages of the last ten years.

Poultry Manure.
Though not a large asset on the ordi-
nary farm, poultry manure is so rich
that it well merits more attention than
it now receives. As both the liquid and
solid excreta are voided together the
result is a manure containing large
percentages of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash.
Analysis and value per ten of poultry
manure; Water, 5G per cent; nitrogen,
.8 to 2 per cent; phosphoric acid, .5 to,?
per cent; potash, .S to .9 per cent; val
ue, from $5 to $8.50.
The composition of the manure will
depend largely on the character of the
food. Thus that.from hens fed with
green bone and a mixture of grain will
be more valuable than that from those
fed with Indian corn exclusively.
Getting: the Musical Pitch.
Musical pitch has a curious tendency
to creep up. It is said that Bach's mu
sic sounds much differently now from
what It did when Bach wrote it, be
cause the instruments are now pitched
higher. In 18S2 it was found that the
pitch of high A at the Vienna Court
Opera had crept from the prescribed
435 double vibrations a second to 443,
and in 1SS5 this yumher had further in
creased to 450.
Accordingly a musical conference
was held, and a resolution was taken
to re-establish the old pitch of 435 vi
brations per second. Upon this an
nouncement the Reichsanstalt, the im
perial physical and technical institute
of Germany, set up standard instru
ments and has since tested and cor
rected many hundreds of tuning forks,
shortening them if they are too low in.
pitch and thinning the arms if they
are too high.
All the military orchestras of Ger
many are pitched alike, and the Reiehs-
anstadt keeps the tuning forks correct.
This solicitous care of the government
in preserving standards is one reason
why the world now goes to Germany in
musical matters.—Pearson’s.
Truth end Repose.
A self denial no less austere than the
saint's is demanded of the scholar. He
must worship truth and forego all
things for that and choose defeat and
pain so that his treasure in thought is
tliereby augmented. God offers to ev
ery mind its choice between truth and
repose. Take which you please—you
can never have both.
Between these as a pendulum man
oscillates. He in whom the love of re
pose predominates will accept the first
creed, the first philosophy, lie meets,
most likely his father’s. He gets rest,
commodity and reputation, hut he
shuts the door of truth. He in whom
the love of truth predominates will
keep himself aloof from all moorings
and afloat.
He will abstain from dogmatism and
x'ecognize all the opposite negations be
tween which as walls his being is
swung. He submits to the inconveni
ence of suspense and imperfect opin
ions, but he is a candidate for truth as
the other is not and respects the high
est law of his being.—Emerson’s “Es
say on Intellect.”
Didn't Care if He Did.
Over in West Virginia on one of the
railroads is a little town called Sawyer.
Close to the town the train passes
through a tunnel. One day a nice look
ing young couple were on the train,
and they never seemed to know that
there was anybody else on the train.
Oblivious to their surroundings they
were like two souls with but a single
thought. While the train was passing
through the tunnel those near the
young couple heard a succession of sus
picious smacks something like a kiss
with a dozen echoes. After the ti'ain
had passed through the tunnel the
brakeman came through the car and
called out, “Sawyer,” and the timid
looking young man looked up and said:
“I don’t give a dura if you did. We are
married.”—Bristol Coxiriei'.

A troupe of wandering musicians
were playing, before a Swiss hotel. At
the end of the performance one of the
members left the group, approached the
leader of the band and pulled out a
little paper box, which he emptied into
his left hand, while the eyes of the
leader followed every movement.
He took a plate in his right hand,
passed it around, and a large sum was
collected, every one meanwhile won
dering what he held in his left hand.
“Why, it’s very simple,” said the
leader when questioned. “We are all
subject to temptation, and to be sure
of the fidelity of our collector he has
to hold five flies in his left hand, and
we count these first when he returns
to make sure of the money.”

SHEEP SHEARING MACHINES
: The Hand Poire? gaehiue—Opinions
of Sheep 'Men Pro and Con.
i As there has lately been some dis-
j cussion of the merits of sheep shearing
I machines, a cut of one of these—a
small hand power machine introduced
into this country several years ago—is
| here reproduced from It mail New York-
; er. Sheep shearing machines are used
I on the lai'ge ranches of Australia and,
it Is claimed, with satisfaction. As
j may be seen, one mail or boy is needed
| to turn the machine and another to
I hold the clippei'. The Rural says that
j farmers write that it is much faster
I and easier to operate than the old
| fashioned sheep shears, while there is
Willins to Accompany Him.
A poor old Irishman, with an old and
battered cornet, was making night hid
eous one evening In a quiet Edinburgh
square. A smart young “guardian of
the peace” stepped up to him and in a
very peremptory tone said:
“Come, come, my man, you must
stop that or accompany me.”
“Wld all the pleasure in loife, sor,”
replied Pat. “What are ye goin’ to
sing?”—London Telegraph.
A SHEEP SHEARING MACHINE.
less danger to the sheep in the hands
of a careless man. It is estimated that
it would need a flock of 75 or 100 good
sheep in order to make the machine
pay for itself. By putting in another
set of knives it can he used for clip
ping horses.
On the other hand, a well known
sheepman, writing in Ohio Farmer, is
of the opinion that a hand power ma
chine is not very profitable. He finds
that it takes a man (not a hoy) to turn
-V./ ;r -y, that the knives soon get dull
and f laeii- be sent to an expert for
sharpening and that, although a lamb
can he shorn very nicely and smooth
by taking pains, one cannot shear fast
enough, and the wool must be cut a
second time if any speed is made.
Replying to this adverse opinion,
through Ohio Farmer, another man
says:
“As a young man I learned to shear
in Australia and could, with four good
pair of hand shears, without cutting,
shear an average of eighty a day. I
was taught by an expert, and the se
cret is not in shearing, but in holding
and in knowing that the skin must be
kept tight and the bottom blade flat.
Now that 1 have got used to the ma
chine, I will never use the hand shears
again. To say that the machine is not
an improvement on the hand shears is
to say the grain binder is no improve
ment on the hand sickle.”
Still another Ohio sheep grower testi
fies in the same paper: “I have had my
sheep sheared three years now with a
machine and have nothing but praise
for it. Every one who buys the ma
chine wants the grinding stone also.
Any good mechanic can grind the
shears.”
A Friendly Crop That Works For the
Farmer Darlas the Winter.
If you have an cld timothy sod or a
| field with perhaps no sod that is to go
; into coin next spring, with a lot of
j cows or cattle roaming over it. tramp-
j ing the life out of it and hunting for
! an allegation of grass upon it for
j their sustenance, remove the cattle and
! plow the field and prepare the soil
| nicely and sow two buslmls of rye to
j the acre.
The ground should be compacted
; with a line, shallow seed bed and the
; whole operation of the seeding done
I well.
The rye will appreciate and pay for
i two or three hundred pounds of ferti-
j lizer of reek and potash to the acre.
After the ground has settled in the fall
and while frozen during the. winter a
coat cf manure will benefit the rye.
Save the manure and make the land
richer for the next crop.
If the rye makes a heavy fall or early
winter growth, if so desired it may be
pastured when the ground is not wet,
although 1 never recommend pasturing
anything but the pasture. As soon in
the spring as the rye is big enough to
cut for feed it is old enough, and cut
ting may begin very early in May for
soiling and be profitably fed to all
farm stock. Wliat has not been used
for soiling out just at or before the
rye is blooming and make into hay.
Cure in windrows and cocks and get
from an acre two to five tons of hay
that is highly relished by the stock
and in feeding value very much supe
rior to timothy. Every ton of this hay
that displaces a ton of timothy in feed
ing represents a ton of timothy for sale
at next spring's good prices, and the
better quality of the rye hay fully pays
for the cost of its production.
The rye will be removed from the
ground in ample time for planting corn
on the same land and the corn be rath
er better than otherwise for the friend
ly crop that worked and saved during
the winter, concludes a writer in Farm
Journal.

THE BOLL WEEVIL.
A Discreet Suggestion.
While the unloaded pistol goes on
slaying its thousands and the ever
loaded oil can its tens of thousands
there is something else that appears
equally as innocent and unassuming
that claims victims every year’ and
causes much financial loss and exqui
site suffering among men and animals.
The instrument of death and suffering
referred to is the upturned rusty nail
so common around the average farm
£nd in the backyards of country stores.
It may seen a very small and simple
act to stop and break off or turn down
a nail, but that small and simple serv
ice may be the means of saving a life
or of preventing the most acute suffer
ing the human body can endure.—
Home and Farm.
Storing Sweet Potatoes.
The method by which the potato is
stored is of great influence upon the
rate and extent of the changes occur
ring in the same during storing. From
South Carolina experiments it would
seem that the best results are to be
obtained with the use of such mate
rials as cottonseed hulls, dry sand and
cottonseed in the order named. Stor
ing in straw seems to be a questionable
practice.
Practicable Method of Grazing Off
Cotton With a Few Cattle.
Some practical advice by Professor
Mally is presented in substance as fol
lows by Farm and Ranch: Experiments
have proved that cattle fatten readily
when grazed upon cotton at this sea
son of the year, especially if there are
yet some immature bolls* and squares.
Any top crop or unpicked cotton will
therefore be fully repaid in the fatten
ed steer and is therefore not a loss.
There is one difficulty about the gen
eral application of this grazing meth
od. The planters, many of them, have
not a sufficient number of cattle to
graze off tlieir cotton acreage; neither
can they secure enough in their neigh
borhood. To overcome this obstacle
some of the larger planters along the
Brazos bottom, in Brazos and Burleson
counties, have gone to northwest and
northeast Texas, where cattlemen are
short of feed, and have bought car
loads of steers and shipped them to
their plantations.
But there are those who are not able
to buy. For these tests have recently
been made of a method which will
serve them well and enable them to
make a successful fight against the
pest. In the sandy sections or the
prairie land districts, where cotton
does not grow too rank, hitch up a
mowing machine and mow off the cot
ton, leaving from three to five rows
across every ten to twenty acres uncut.
Follow the mower with a hayrake and
windrow the mowed cotton. As soon
as the cotton dies the boll weevils leave
It and seek fresh, green cotton for their
feeding and naturally find the rows left
uncut. Recently a field managed in
this way was inspected, and the trap
rows left standing were fairly alive
with boll weevils. In this way the
acreage to be grazed is confined to the
trap rows, and any ordinary farmer
can muster up enough cattle to graze
it down.
