ILLS OF FARM STOCK
CROSSING OCEAN IN AN AUTO
By No Means an Impossibility of
ths Future, According to Re-
cent Advices.
That we will some day cross the
ocean In an automobile seems to be
the conviction of several expert ma-
chinists. MaJ. J. 0. Wright has re-
cently contrived a water automobile.
The machine is not a beauiy, but it
glides over the water at about five
miles an hour. It will go equally
well on the land.
It consists of a framework of light
steel and oak, 25 feet long and eight
feet wide, and is mounted on three
wheels, the two in front being of iron
and wide rimmed. Surrounding the
framework and only a few inches
about the ground is a large air-filled
steel cylinder which keeps the ma-
chine afloat while on the water.
In the "bow" of the craft is a gas-
oline engine which transmits power
to the front wheels when the ma-
chine is crossing land, or to an ordi-
nary screw propeller, such as are
used on motor boats, for propulsion
on water.
This propeller is under the ma-
chine and well out of the way when
it is traveling as a land automobile.
On the framework of the machine is
a platform which will hold a score of
men. Two men are needed to oper-
ate the machine.
This combination motor and boat
has been used successfully in running
the survey lines through the vast
swamps of the Everglades in Flor-
ida.—Chicago Tribune.
Directions for Treating Many
Common Ailments.
One Must Bear In Mind In Doctoring
for Parasites It Is Just as Nec-
essary to Clean Up Stables as
to Treat Animals.
For the Invalid.
Realy sanitary and immensely at-
tractive looking is a sick room set of
napery made of stiff paper in lace pat-
tern and comprising doilieB for meat,
bread and cake plateB, as well as an
entire covering for the tray. Rather
less expensive are the paper doilies
of square shape, hemstitched or cro-
chet-edged—in effect—and stamped to
imitate the newest embroidery de-
sign, and for state occasions, when the
invalid entertains in her chamber,
there are doilies of silver and gold
lace paper which are very stunning in-
deed. Any of these paper sets of
napery are preferable to the ones In
linen, as they make possible the use
of absolutely fresh and spotless serv-
ice each tine the invalid's tray is car
ried upstairs.
If the invalid is sometimes able to
sit up for an hour or two at a time, he
or she should be provided with one of
the new book rests, which may be ad-
justed to the position of the reader
by means of the clamp which fastens
the contrivance to the arm of the
chair. Even more convenient, in case
the Invalid is sometimes strong
enough to write a letter, is the reviv-
ed model of the Windsor chair, having
a right arm wide enough to serve
as a desk that will ho.d a pad of pa-
per, an ink bottle and a postage
stamp box.
Everybody Happy.
A wealthy young woman from our
west was recently wedded to a mem-
ber of the nobility of England and the
ceremony took place in the most fash-
ionable of London churches—St.
George's.
Among the guests was a cousin of
the bride, as sturdy an American as
can be imagined. He gave an Inter-
esting summary of the wedding when
usked by a girl friend whether the
marriage was a happy one.
"Happy? I should say it was." said
the cousin. "The bride was happy,
the mother was overjoyed, Lork Stick-
leigh. the groom, was in ecstasies and
his creditors, I understand, were in a
state of abBoltue bliss."—Lippincott'f

Joint ail in colts and caives is sim-
ply an inflammation of joint structure
due to a germ infection which gains
entrance through the raw navel cord
at the time of birth, or very soon af
ter.
When treating cattle or other do-
mestic animals for lice, bear in mind
that it Is just as necessary to clean up
and disinfect the stables, as to treat
the affected animals.
For lice on cattle, in cold weather
dust Persian Insect powder over the
back and rumps; or brush the necks
and backs daily, usiiig a little kero-
sene on a stiff brush—not enough
kerosene to wet the hair or injure the
Bkin.
Black leg is a disease of young cat-
tle usually under two years of age.
Medical treatment is very unsatisfac-
tory, but there is a vaccine easily ob-
tained from the Minnesota experi-
ment station, which is very reliable,
as a preventive.
There is an unnecessary prejudice
against lumpy-Jaw cattle. A consider-
able percentage of these cases are
passed by government inspectors as
fit for food purposes. Only the very
bad cases, especially those where the
disease affects several organs or parts
of the body, arq condemned.
For worms or other parasites liv-
ing free in the stomach or intestines,
apparently careful experimental work
has shown good results by the use of
low grade tobacco leaves, sometimes
called "tobacco trash." This should
be chopped up fine; mixed with an
equal amount of salt and kept con-
stantly before the sheep.
The large swelling that occasionally
appears in front of the knees of cat-
tle, particularly old cows, Is properly
known as hygroma. It is usually filled
with a watery or straw-colored fluid.
Opening or other surgical operation
is not advisable except by a compe-
tent veterinarian. These swellings
usually do no harm and most of the
cases are most wisely left alone.
For ringworm t>n calveB or other do-
mestic animals, give a good scrubbing
with stiff brush, soap and water; then
apply tincture of iodine and glacial
acetic acid in equal parts. Use a small
brush for the medicine and be .care-
ful, especially when working near the
eyes. Apply twice a day for the first
two days, and then once daily.
Cough among the bogs may be due
to very dusty quarters. With young
hogs it is frequently due to minute
thread-like worms in the bronchial
tubes. A soft, hacking cough is a very
common symptom of hog cholera.
Hogs also have the common forms of
bronchitis and pneumonia, Just like
other animals and people. With
hogs, coughs and lung troubles, aside
ffom cholera, are frequently due to
sleeping in warm quarters, possibly
piled up, and then going out into cold
places to feed.
tuce, or radish, together. A row of
parsnip, or carrot, and a row of sets,
or lettuce, or radish. One will mature
and be used before the other, and both
are hoed and hand weeded at once aa
readily as if alone. A row of sweet
peas may have early vegetables along,
side it to advantage. Early vegetables
may be grown between rows of tomato
plants, melons or cucumbers, and
used, or marketed, long before their
comrades occupy the ground.
Hubbard squash and pie pumpkin9
planted among early potatoes set and
mature their fruit after the potatoes
ripen and their tops die down. Ground
sown to early peas may be set to late
cabbage or sown to winter radish or
turnips after the peas mature and are
removed. This late working the soil
kills hosts of weeds and prevents them
maturing seed after August 1, the
time when garden weeds usually ma-
ture seeds.
MAKE PROFIT FROM CHICKENS
Lucrative Side Line for Farmers Who
Will Make Most of It—Fowls
Destroy Many Insects.
Specialized poultry farms are be-
coming more numerous each year. In
many cases these are paying good
returns on the money invested, but
their effect on the supply of eggs and
dressed poultry for our large markets
is but as a drop in the ocean. It is
for the small flocks of 50 to 300 fowls
kept upon the farms as a side line
that we must depend for our supply
of poultry products in the future as in
the past, says Prof. P. G. Holden in
the Farm and Home Poultry Annual.
No other branch of agriculture is rep-
resented on so many farms. The cen-
sus for 1910 shows that 88 per cent
of all farms reported keeping poultry.
In no case can the business be
made so profitable as where it is con
ducted as a side line of general farm-
ing. It is possible to allow chickens
CONSTIPATION
Munyon's Paw-Paw
Pills are unlike all oth-
er laxatives or cathar-
tics. They coax the
liver into activity by
gentle methods, they
do not scour; they do
not gripe; they do not
weaken; but they do
start all the secretions
of the liver and stom-
ach in a way that soon
puts these organs in a
healthy condition and
corrects constipation. Munyon's Paw-Paw
Pills are a tonic to the stomach, liver and
nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken;
they enrich the blood instead of impover-
ishing it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put into
it Price 25 cents. All Druggists.

SPRING WORK IN THE GARDEN
Early Vegetables May Be Crown Be
tween Rows of Tomato Plants
Long Before Latter Are Up.
Much of the space In the garden
may be double cropped where the soil
Is kept free from weeds and hand hoe-
ing is thoroughly done. To illustrate:
Sow a row of onion seeds and. about
two or three Inches distant, a row of
Bets, or buttons of the evergreen onion.
These will grow and be eaten before
the black seed fairly starts growth. Or
a row of onion sets and a row of let-
to range through many crops that are
grown on the farm without damage
to the crops and by such practice se-
cure double returns from the same
piece of land.
Orchards or cornfields are ideal for
this purpose and the presence of the
chickens in them is beneficial rather
than detrimental, as they will destroy
large numbers of Insects injurious to
the crops. The movable colony house
which Is rapidly coming into general
use on the farm makes It possible to
scatter the chickens out over the
fields.
This method is especially valuable
for handling the young stock, as it
gives freedom to the birds. The re-
sult will be stronger, more vigorous
birds. By moving the house close to
the fields where small grains have
been harvested the birds are able to
turn into profitable gains,the shelled
grain and scattered heads which re-
main on the field.

Eggs More Profitable.
The production of eggs on the farm
is always more profitable than the
production of market poultry. Less
equipment is necessary to carry on
the business and the product is ready
for market as soon as produced If
the greatest profits are to be secured
from the business some attention must
be given to the proper selection, feed-
ing and care of the poultry. The
product should be ready for the mar-
ket when the prices are highest.
There are more nervous persona
made so by undigested food lying in
the stomach than the average indi-
vidual would suppose.
If food remains undigested in the
stomach, it begins to ferment, set up
gas and a large portion is thus con-
verted into poison.
That's why imperfectly digested food
may, and often does, cause irritation
of the nerves and stupor of the mind-
brain and nerves are really poisoned.
My daughter had complained fotf
some time of a distressed feeling in
the stomach, after eating, which set
me thinking that her diet was not
right," writes an anxious and intelli-
gent mother.
"She had been fond of cereals, but
had never tried Grape-Nuts. From
reading the account of this predigest-
ed food, it Beemed reasonable to try
Grape-Nuts for her case.
' The results were really wonderful.
The little brain that Beemed at times
unable to do its work, took on new
life and vigor. Every morning, now,
before going to school, she eats the
crisp little morsels and is now com-
pletely and entirely well, she seems to
have a new lease on life—no more
distress in the stomach, nor head-
ache, but sound and well everyway."
