It is one of the foundation princi¬
ples of agriculture that no system can
long be followed at a profit which
does not make provision for return¬
ing to the land In some form the ele¬
ments of fertility taken from it by
crops. So, no system of farming has
ever been successful for any great
length of time in any climate which
does not include the keeping of live
6tock as one of its important features.
The special purpose character of
the Dorset Horns lies in the fact that
ewes will breed at any season of
the year, but they are very, prolific,
are decidely heavy milkers, give birth
to unusually strong and vigorous
lambs, care for them well, and that
their lambs are able and ready to use
grain at a very young age.
No feed produces better milk or
more of it than good June pasture.
Next to this is good soiling crops and
third in the list is ensilage. As the
jflrst and second of these are avail¬
able for only short seasons, the silo
Is worthy of consideration as the best
year round substitute.
One of the most difficult things for
the beginner in poultry raising is to
cull closely. A bird looks like a bird
to him and, the chances are that he
will keep some that are not profitable
merely because it does not seem right
to eat them.
Keep fine grit and charcoal where
the chicks can have access to it at all
times. They must have the grit, and
while they can get along without the
charcoal, they will do a great deal
better if they have it. It aids diges¬
tion and promotes health.
Pigs need some roughage for the
winter. A few dry sods, put up in a
pile now and thrown into the pens
during the winter, will be greatly rel¬
ished and will help to keep the diges¬
tion of the pigs in good shape.
Dairymen no longer rely upon the
average of the herd as a basis of com¬
puting their profits, but with proper
utensils and accurate records calcu¬
late the producing ability of each in¬
dividual in the herd.
A statement just to hand shows that,
the value of frozen meats imported by
Canada from Australia grew over 50
per cent, from 1908 to 1909 and that
In the latter year the trade amounted
to $87,235.
No one who attempts to raise two
litters of pigs in one year from a herd
of brood sows should expect them to
do so successfully and profitably un¬
less they are given the very best of
care.
The good cow is an industrious crea¬
ture, but she is also a ruminating one
and requires time and should have
comfort in which to do her cud chew¬
ing.
No combination of factors is more
conducive to prosperity, wealth, ter
le farms and good homes than are
rell bred dairy cattle, capacious silos
nd productive alfalfa fields.
New corn from the fields is a great
treat to poultry, if not overfed. Take
a solid block and a corn knife and cut
the corn in half-inch sections and the
fowls will do the rest.
There can be but little question
about the advisability of feeding the
dairy cow on pasture this year. If
ehe does not get feed in the barn she
is apt to starve.
There is' no big money in sheep un
less the operator understands his busi¬
ness thoroughly and it is no sphere
for the novice these days.
If the calves must be kept up during
the summer be sure to protect them
from the flies and give plenty of ven¬
tilation all of the time.
A great many progressive poultry
men are beginning to realize the value
of crushed charcoal as a conditioner
for their stock.
Take care of the boards when
blanching celery. They should never
be used as walks in the field.
- Alfalfa ground may be pastured if
not overstocked. The third crop in
particular may be profitably grazed by
sheep.
Green corn need not be a dangerous
Teed. If used right it is one of the
best things that can be given the hogs.
The calf pens must he scrupulously
clean if the youngsters would be
.kept In a healthy, thrifty condition.
April and May hatched chicks give
us best results.
Requiring almost the same care
care and using feed almost identical,
chickens and squabs should be In¬
separable. With a large flock of hens
producing winter eggs, and a number
of squabs at a time when young
chickens are not obtainable, the poul
tryman has practically no competition.
The supply, in most instances, is so
limited and the demand so great that
the young squabs are sold at the nest,
people coming after them to be sure
of getting them.
Brood sows on the average farm
may be almost entirely supported by
waste products. And those same waste
products form the best sort of bal
anced ration. Skim milk, buttermilk,
windfall apples, parings, a run in the
orchard, with shade, and after the
litters are weaned and growing nice¬
ly. a run in the stubble to clean up
every kernel of grain, and in the
clover fields after hay has been cut.
A hen that lays 180 eggs in a year
will earn for her owner a certain net
profit of one dollar afld twenty-five
cents, and if he is careful about mar¬
keting his profit may be increased by
an additional BdO cents, so that if he
wants to increase his income by $250
or $500 it is only necessary for him
to keep 200 or 400 hens.
If you can do no better by way of
making troughs for the sheep to eat
their grain out of, you can nail two
boards together in the shape of a V,
with a couple of short pieces across
the ends to keep them right side up.
This will save much grain, and grain
is money this year.
Salting the cows is most important,
especially when they are on green
grass. About an ounce per day is re¬
quired by each cow and this is better
given regularly and in small quanti
ties than only occasionally and in
large lots.
With hired help almost impossible
to get at any price, it would seem
that all farmers would hesitate about
taking more land upon themselves f r
cultivation, for a poorly-cared for crop
is surely a failure, but they plunge In
regardless of consequences.
Some breeders claim that sex can
be selected from Which males and
females can be hatched at will, Old
hens mated with cockerels produce
about 75 per cent, pullets, ■while mat¬
ing pullets with old cocks give a
greater per cent, of cockerels.
Did your cows fall off in their milk
yhile passing from summer to winter
conditions? This is a trying period
and the cow that tides over it all
right will, with normal conditions, be
safe for a good flow till spring.
Sunflowers are usually grown for
the seeds, and the stalks are allowed
to go to waste. They contain so large
a percentage of woody fiber when ma¬
ture that they would be of no value
for feeding purposes.
It will pay to market old and use¬
less hens now, rather than carry them
through the molt which begins this
month. Many of them will not lay
again until spring and will not pay
their keep.
There are two great and common
mistakes in landscape gardening. One
is to make a garden without any flow¬
ers in it; the other is to have a mess
of plants assembled without any de¬
sign.
If you wish to improve the quality
of your flock without serious expense
the best thing to do is to cull out a
pen of the choicest birds and hatch
their eggs.
Very often when the large farm has
been obtained at the expense of the
home, so much of it goes to waste for
the want of cultivation—thorough cul¬
tivation—that it is really unprofitable.
Now that the hatching season is
over, all the male birds should be
taken away from the hens, Your
chances for fresher eggs and more of
them will be increased.
Manure is just what is needed to
bring up the yields and to increase
the water-holding capacity of our soil,
for without water no amount of fer¬
tility is of any avail.
Don’t forget the supply of sharp
gravel or grit even in the fall; fowls
can not always pick up a suitable sup¬
ply even when on a range and the
weather is good.
If a little rape seed is sprinkled in
with the rye a variety of feed will be
provided and the hogs will do even
better than upon rye alone.
Pleasant surroundings and modern
conveniences, easily obtainable, will
go a long way in keeping the boys
and girls on the farm.
A hog should have some gra»n ev
ery day of its life although hogs can
not be raised and fattened on grain
alone at a profit.
The dairy heifer is sure to be a
profitable product of the farm as long
as the demand for dairy cows
tinues.
In applying the spray to low grow
ing trees and bushes make the appli
cation when the dew is on the plants.
All the nest boxes should be kept
perfectly clean to give the little
chicks an unhampered start in life.
The trouble with most of our farms
is too little capital to the acre.

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE
“When our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured, He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn’t what you would call'good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
“Finally I got a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see if it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else’s little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

acceptance of the various lines pre¬
pared by distributers and cpnsumers
that buying was somewhat minimized.

Now They Sleep indoors.
George H. Beattie, jeweler In the
old Arcade, and L. E. Ralston, auditor
of the News, have jointly and several¬
ly decided that sleeping out in the
open isn’t all that It has been declared
to be, says the Cleveland Leader.
They were both In a deep snooze out
at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin
Falls, the other night, when a run¬
away team from the county fair city
turned into the lane leading up to the
Beattie estate and came along at full
speed.
Sound asleep, but dreaming of im¬
pending danger, Ralston rolled out of
his cot toward the north, and Beattie
from his cot toward the south. The
runaway horses dashed between the
sleepers, oversetting everything in the
way, but missing Beattie and Ralston
by margins too narrow to be meas¬
ured. Since that night Ralston has
slept in his town house and Beattie
has found shelter under the .simple
roof of his house on his big planta¬
tion.
Hi* First Lesson in Economy.
“When I was a very small boy and
a dime looked pretty big to me, I met
John H. Farley—who had always been
my good friend—on the street one
June day,” says Frank Harris.
“ ’Frank,’ he said, ‘the Fourth of
July is coming soon. You’ll want
some change then. Let me be your
banker until then and you’ll have
some money for firecrackers, torpe
does, lemonade and peanuts.’
“1 emptied my pockets into his hand
and every day thereafter until the
Fourth I turned over to him my small
earnings. When the day of days came
around I had a fund that enabled me
to celebrate in proper style, while
many of my playmates were flat
broke. It was my first lesson in thrift,
and It was a good one. Hundreds of
Cleveland people would be glad today
to testify to the fact that when John
H. Farley was a friend of a man or a
boy he was a friend indeed.”—Cleve¬

An Experience
Weak and delicate ladies need Cardui, to bring roses
into their paie cheeks and energy into their weary frames.
Read this letter from Mrs. Albert Root, of Amanda, Ohio,
giving an account of her experience, and how she found
relief:
“I was hardly ever without a headache, and often had
a misery in my back and sides,” she writes. “I was sick
in bed half the time, and suffered a great deal from neu¬
ralgia of the stomach. Since taking Cardui, the woman’s
tonic, I have gained 10 pounds, and now I can do all of
my own house-work, and washing, and my friends say I
ook like a different person.”

The Woman’s Tonic
No harmful effects can possibly come'to young or old
from the use of Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Thousands of
women have written, like Mrs. Root, to tell of the great
benefit they obtained from its use.
Cardui is a reliable tonic. Its ingredients are mild,
medicinal herbs, acting mainly on the womanly constitution,
and building up both nervous and vital energy.
Pure, strictly vegetable, safe and reliable—Cardui is an
ideal remedy, for delicate, ailing women.
