COMBINATION TANK ANDTROUGH
FOR SHEEP, HORSES AND CATTLE
Illustration Shows Convenient Addition Which Will Elimin

Value Where Water Is Pumped by Hand.

Drinklng Trough for Sheep in Water Tank.
Frequently a simple method of wa
tering stock will mean much on
many farms, especially where horses,
cattle and sheep drink from the same
trough. Large tanks do not permit
sheep to drink unless the tank is full,
therefrom, if cattle and horses lower
the water in the tank so it is' only a
quarter of half full, the sheep will be
unable to reach it.' The illustration
shows a convenient addition, says the
Orange Judd Farmer. This will be
found of great value where either wa
ter is pumped by hand, by gasoline en
gine or wind power.
A small trough is sent in the end in
to which the water is pumped, and as
it overflows it runs into the larger
tank. A raised platform at this end
will make it possible for sheep to
reach into the tank. Where hand
power is required and the tank
is nearly empty, without this conven-
BEST WAY TO
TOP DRESS GRAIN
Should be Done Dur ins the Fall
Months to Afford Proper
Protection for Roots
of Crop.
If grain is to be top dressed, the
Work should be done in the fall, as it
is very necessary to have the, grain
deep-rooted with sufficient top to pro
tect the roots. Haul and spread direct
from wagon or cart when the ground
is dry enough to haul over. The ma
nure should be fine and well rotted.
Clean, mellow ground should be
seeded to grass at the time of drilling
and sown to clover in the spring. The
early seeded grain nearly always gives
the best yield. Rather thin land
drilled to grain should be top dressed
with long strawy manure. If manure
cannot be had spread straw or leaf
mold from the woods. A thin cover
ing will protect the grain and grass,
and when rotted will help to keep the
soil moist and cool during the hot
weather. Straw is worth fully $1.50
to $2.00 per ton to spread over the
grain. All straw not wanted for feed
ing and bedding should be used for
top-dressing grain and grass. Where
the land is not too rolling and the
snows are not too heavy, there is no
better way to use the winter manure
than to haul’it out, and v hen the
■weather Is suitable and the ground is
in condition to haul over and spread
it on either the grain or grass fields.
Much of the value of manure is wast
ed when it is piled in the yard, ex
posed to heavy rains and snows.
There is litttle loss when spread over
sod land.
CROSSCUT SAW
IS VERY HANDY
Where Logs of Medium Size Are
to be Cut Implement Shown
Will be Found Con
ven lent;
Crosscut Saw for One.
It is often convenient to have a
crosscut saw that one man can use
for cutting medium sized logs, says
the Orange^ Judd Farmer. The one
shown herewith fills the bill very
well. It consists of a blade, a handle,
set as shown, and a bow re-enforced
with wire around it at various points.
Preferably this bow should be of
well-seasoned hickory, ash or some
Crosscut Saw.
other tough, but not too heavy, wood.
It is not necessary to have very much
spring in the bow, although some
spring adds rigidity and tension to
the saw, which can thus be run more
easily. The most important points
for the winding are toward the ends,
where the pole is split by sawing to
admit blade. The pole should be only
a few inches longer than the saw
when laid out straight.
White Corn Is Best.
Experiments carried on at the
Missouri experiment station during
the past four years show that Boone
county white corn is the best variety
for general use In that state. The
next in order below this are Com
mercial White, St. Charles White and
Reeds Yellow Dent. These varieties
are doubtless well adapted to other
southwestern states
I' • '
ience it would be necessary to pump
the tank nearly full in order that
sheep might reach the water, whereas
by this method they will be able to
drink at once. The same is true in
the use of wind power. As soon as tho
pump begins to work, the sheep have
access to the water.
This method is used with great
success in Conedale farm in Winona
county, Minn. In this case the water
source is a large spring and the power
a couple of hydraulic rams. These
rams work night and day, year in and
year out, and the inflow is adjusted as
shown in the illustration. Os course,
there is a continual flow of water in
to the tank, but there is an outlet
which permits the water to run from
this tank into another oue in another
yard at a lower level. Though simple
in construction this attachment will
mean a great deal in watering stock.

Fasten two blocks with’ screws, one

support to each block with a tee
hinge. The folding bracket B is
easily made of a piece of hoop iron.
The support will lie nat on the door
when it is closed, according to the

to the right position for a support
as soon as the door is opened.
NEED OF LIME
ON SOME SOILS
There Is but One Sure Way of
Making Known the Fault
and That Is by Prac
tical Trial.
There is only one sure way of de
tcimining whether a soil needs lime
and that is by trial. An application
of lime over a whole field would be a
waste of both time and money if the
field were not in need of such an ap
plication. It is suggested that the
faimer who has not already proved
for himself whether his soils need
lime would better conduct a few sim
ple experiments at different points on
his farm.
A few barrels of lime or a few tons
of limestone would not cost a great
deal and the labor of treating a strip
with lime or ground limestone here
and there across different fields in
which crops were to be grown or so
treat a small area here and there, at
different points in the fields in which
crops are to be grown, would involve
but a small amount of labor. These
areas should be very carefully located
and marked and the results of the ap
plications should be carefully studied
on the succeeding crops. It is pos,
sible that the effects, .good and bad,
may be easily apparent. It is pos
sible that the effects can be discov
ered only by carefully cutting and
weighing the crops from portions of
the treated areas and comparing them
with the crops produced upon equal
adjacent areas.
Lime should not be applied to ma
nure piles nor to the litter in the barn.
Lime should not be applied to land
being prepared for potatoes.—Circular

Rev. Sylvester Horne, the Liberal
M. P. from London, was talking about
religion at a dinner in New York.
"Too many of us in our religious
observances,” he said, “are like a lit

"This little girl said one night to
her new nurse:
“ ‘Oh, must I sleep in the dark?’
“ ‘Yes, miss,’ the nurse answered.
" ‘Then wait a minute,’ said the
little girl, Til get up and say my
nrayers more carefully.’ ”

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES
“Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. I would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced it "dry
eczema.” I used an ointment which
the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head it off. I got the Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be just what I needed.
“The disease was making great
headway on my system until I got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, I have never felt
any of its pest, and I am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment”
