Mothers and other humane persons

lives of diseased babies “I reply that

gested districts of New York than it

DEHORNING CHUTE
Contrivarrce Which Will Make the
Teek of Dehorning an Easy One
One of the good points about this
ebute Is the hinged doors on the rear
end which make it possible to adjust
the chute to any size barn door Where
the width of the rear end of the chute
Is stationary and cannot be adjusted
to the door as shown in the illustra-
tion there is often a foot or two of
space to be divided between tbe two
sides As our readers who have had
experience in dehorning know an ani-
mal will always choose to pass through
this small opening rather than into the
chute and thereby cause a constant
aggravation The chute proper is
mounted on two heavy timbers which
may be four-by-fours or four-bv-Bixes
while the uprights are generally four-
by-fours The stanchion is made to
open and close and secured in any way
that suits The convenient part of the
chute is the trough-shaped part
marked H This is made of two-inch
stuff and securely fasteneed to bottom
cross pieces After the animal is se-
cured in the stanchion a halter is
thrown over Its bead and the halter
rope ia passed through the hole just
below the letter H The letter A
shows a continuation of this rope to
the pole which Is used as a lever to
bring the animal's head into position
on the trough
As soon as this is accomplished the
rope B Ib thrown over the neck of the
animal and secures the head firmly to
the through when the dehorning oper-
ation may be performed As soon as
the operation is concluded the animal
Is unstanchioned and one of the aides
of the chute is hinged so that it may
be opened for the animal to escape
from the chute after which It is closed
and another animal Is driveo in The
dimensions for this chute suggests the
Iowa Homestead may he made to suit
the size of animals to be dehorned
However it is a good plan to make It
large enough to accommodate large
animals as the chute comes very
handy in performing any kind of an
operation on an animal when It Is nec-
essary to secure him The hinges and
latch on the side door and on the
swinging gates at the rear should be
made extra strong and not less than
three in number as sometimes an ani-
mal will throw itself and place more or
less strain on the sides of the chute
The width of the chute at the stan-
chion is commonly three feet while at
the rear end it la eight Inches wider
MANIPULATING THE UDDER
System Developed by Danish Scientist
Proves Valuable Under Test
It Is well known that the average
milker gets l-ss milk than he who
does a thorough job that Incompe-
tent milking means not only direct
but indirect loss not only an imme-
diate lessening of the fat yield but
tends toward drying the row A Dan-
ish scientist has recently developed
a special system of udder manipula-
tion a sort of massage of the mam-
mary gland as It were which It Is
claimed augments the flow Tbe
llegelund method as it is called In-
volves three manipulations each
thrice repeated or until 1:0 more milk
ia obtained First the pressure of the
quarter on each aide against each
other thrice repeated followed by re-
moval of the milk second the pres-
sure of the glands together on each
side the fore quarter being first ma-
nipulated and then the bind quarters
followed by removal of the milk and
third the fore quarters are pressed
between band and body the hands
holding the teats loosely then the
bind quarters also followed by milk-
ing Trials of the schemes made at
the Wisconsin and New York stations
accorded a daily average Increase
per cow of a pound of milk and two
ounces of butter Tbe after milk was
very rich in fat testing about ten
per cent This after milking takes
not to exceed five minutes’ time
often only two or three minutes Tbe
two ounces of butter may he held at
a low estimate to he worth two cents
This would be a fair pay for five min-
utes' wora 24 cents an bour and the
skim milk thrown in Not only Is
more milk and butter made hut the
secretion Is stimulated and the lacta-
tion period prolonged It may be re-
marked however that the differences
In milk and butter yields between
this method and careful stripping are
not great The Danish method em-
phasizes more perhaps than has hith-
erto been done the actual and poten-
tial lostes due to Incomplete inliking
Stop the churn aa soon as the but-
ter granulates if you want to work
out all the buttermilk
OLD MILCH COWS
Those Rightly l ed in Early Life Will
Return a Profit
If a cow has been rightly fed for
all of her life she will be a good cow
when she becomes old A cow that
has been overfed for years will have
become “burned out" by the time she
Is 10 or 12 years of age The cow
that has never been fed to bring her
up to her highest capacity for milk-
gilvng will have fixed her habits of
milk-giving at a low point and will not
he valuable as an old cow She
will therefore have to be disposed of
to the butcher several years before
she otherwise would have gone out of
service
It has been found by the Minnesota
station that multitudes of cows if fed
on a properly balanced ration and
with a large amount of succulent feed
the year around would Increase their
capacity for milk-giving This Is what
develops the capacity of the cow A
great many cows on our farms are
never fed with the idea of getting out
of them the greatest amount of milk
possible each year with due regard to
the health of the cows If this Is done
the old cows w ill still be giving a large
mess of rich milk
We know jof old cows says a writer
In Farmers’ Review that are still
proving profitable because they have
had the right kind of treatment They
are not overfed at one season of the
year They are not given green pas-
turage at one time of year and forced
to content themselves with dry forage
for six months of the year The silo
is the greatest help in the right feed-
ing of cows for It gives a food prod-
uct that Is easy on the digestive or-
gans of the cows and gives succulent
food the year round The little wear
on the vitality of the animala brings
them to old age in good condition
and with many years of usefulness be-
fore them
SELFSALTER
Uie of Common Salt for Dairy Cows
Thought Beat
Some dairymen do not think rock
salt Is as satisfactory for cows as the
common salt The dairy cow requires
a great deal of salt and usually she
does not spend enough time at the salt
“lick” when it Is so difficult to obtain
as Is the case when rock salt Is used
When common salt la given her she
can get the necessary amount in a
very short time One claim made for
rock salt Is that it can be left out in
all kinds of weather with but very lit-
tle loss while common salt will dis-
solve and be carried away by rain
By constructing a very simple de-
vice similar to the one shown on this
page tbe common salt can be sheltered
and at the same time be in such a
place that the cow can reach It when-
ever she desires Take a small grocery
box and fix upon It a roof which will
turn water On one Bide allow the
eave to project far enough to shelter a
small exposed trough at the bottom of
the box Inside of the box place an In-
clined bottom shown In the drawing
as the dotted line A Have one section
of tbe roof on hinges so the salt can be
put In from the top When this is done
a part of It will run down to the small
trough As fast aa the animals remove
the exosed salt more will slide down
to take Its place It may be necessary
to occasionally remove the top and pul-
verize the salt In tbe box but this will
take only a moment
For dairymen who claim that the
cows do better when given common
salt this device will certainly simplify
the nu-ans of feeding It to the cows
The Hereford Cows
There Is some controversy in re-
gard to the nllklag qualities of Here-
fords The whole question of milk-
In as affectlug this breed or In fact
any other Is simply a matter of
training and the practice of letting
the calves run with the cows Is very
Injurious from the dairyman's point
of view The practice followed by a
very successful breeder of Herefords
Is to take the calves front the cows
when about a week old and rear
them by hand keeping the ’ calves
simply In a growing state and In or-
der to develop their milking qualities
out allowing them to become overload-
ed with superfluous fat when young
The Cow’s Appetite
The cow's appetite is important
but it should not be abused As
much harm comes from allowing her
to eat too much as comes from not
a'lowing her to eat enough
The First Two Days
Allow the calf to run with the moth-
er for a day or lj Immediately after
birth The new milk Is necessary to
promote a projer digestion
HORTICULTURE
JAPANESE MODE OF GRAFTING
In This Method the 8cion Is Extended
to or Below Level of Root
In Japanese grafting the scion is
Incised in about the same method as
the stock would be in the ordinary
splice-grafting tbe sharpened head of
the stock fitted into tbe cut In the
side of the Bclon the lower end of
which extends to or below the level
of the stock and the union well cov-
ered with waxed cloth and thread
When this cutting graft is planted the
free lower end of the scion is able to
absorb moisture from the soil and
often to emit roots of its own at the
same time being nourished by its
vital connection with tbe Block The
cut illustrates a Japanese graft made
by Mr Normand of an oriental wal-
nut but says Rural New Yorker the
method may be applied to other spe-
cies and is naturally most useful with
varieties that root as cuttings with
difficulty when planted in the ordinary
way
This cutting graft or Japan method
is in particular favor in Australia for
the purpose of getting apple varieties
locally suitable or Northern Spy or
other stocks resistant to Woolly
aphis or “American blight” as it is
there called Long scions of North-
ern Spy are grafted in tbe manner
shown on ordinary apple seedling
stocks and careful! planted taking
especial pains to firm the soli about
tbe lower and of the scion which gen-
erally throws out roots of its own
after It has grown a year or two The
top la then budded or grafted to the
desired variety and when transplant-
ed from the nursery row the original
stock is entirely cut away leaving tbe
tree wholly on Northern Spy or other
resistant roots
PEACH CULTURE
High Land the Beit Location for an
Orchard
The peach although a native of a
warm climate has through years of
cultivatioa been hardened until it may
now be grown far north It la atree
which comes into bearing at the third
year from the bud Propagation Is ef-
fected by seed by budding or by graft-
ing budding being the most success-
ful and widely practiced method
The best site for a peach orchard Is
high land sloping toward the north
and the best soil a sandy loam with a
gravelly subsoil Peach lands must be
dry under no conditions will the trees
grow In wet soggy land
Prepare for planting much the same
way as for the apple planting the trees
In spring one rod apart each way if
special care is taken two-year-old
trees can be used but the berl are one
year medium size four feet high
' The peach requires very severe
pruning says Farmers’ Review The
first year cut off all branches leaving
only one bud at the base of each
branch and head the trees back to
about two and one-half feet Tbe sec-
ond and third years prune to a round
or oval shape and every year after cut
out one-fourth to one-fifth of the wood
Thin the fruit the same aa the apple
and begin picking as soon as the
peaches part readily from the stem
It may be necessary to make three to
five pickings during the season
Persistent Spraying
Begin early to spray and keep It up
till the fruit is nearly ready to ripen
Do not confine tbe applications to the
number usually advised in the spray-
ing calendars but spray as often as
there are rains to wash the solutions
I from tie trees
THE POTATO QUESTION
Good Ground Good Seed and Good Cub
' tivation Are Essential
From my experience In the raising
of potatoes it seems to me there are
three thlDgs to be especially consid-
ered these are good ground good
seed potatoes and good care of the
land writes an Iowa correspondent of
the Northwestern Agriculturist
First we will consider the ground
Plow early In the fall or In August If
possible not shallow but middling
deep Oats land Is preferred for this
reason and 1 have found it to produce
the mealiest potatoes Wheat and corn
land will give the tubers which are
glossy and hard but those raised on
oata laud are of the nicest quality for
home and market use Disk three
times In tbe spring so the land will be
loose and plant Immediately after small
grain or In the first part of May
Planting later will give the bugs a
chance but by putting the seed In
early tbe plant will be getting tough
by the time tbe bugs begin their work
and they do not care for tough leaves
In late planting also the plant la young
and tender and the seed will not be
as large nor healthy
Selection of the seed I have come
to one conclusion that la use the best
seed to be bought Plant none that Is
small or unhealthy Select your seed
potatoes as you do your corn Use
only those that are round and smooth
and that have shallow eyes About the
size of an egg Is my favorite or a little
smaller will do Cut the heads off just
enough to kill the sprouts so closely
connected as two or three eyes are
sufficient for a good hill Cut them
about three weeks before planting
them ao the part that was cut can dry
up If planted Immediately 'after be-
ing cut the ground will draw one-third
of the substances from the potato and
it will not have nourishment enough
to produce a healthy tuber
Taking care of the land as It should
be done: It must be kept clean Drag
It twice after planting It can stand a
good dragging after tbe plants are up
say a couple of inches But don't drag
In the morning when the dew Is on the
plants because they will break and
their growth will be retarded for at
least two weeks Right after dinner
when they are good and dry la the best
time
A common corn cultivator Is suffi-
cient to do the work But you should
plow at least six times and run through
with the hoe immediately after Hoe
it twice and this with tbe plowing will
leave the land nice and clean for gath-
ering the potatoes In the fall If I can
answer any further questions concern-
ing the potato business I will be glad
to do so
STOCK SOLUTION OF BORDEAUX
Some Suggestions as to Methods of
Preparing the Spraying Mixture
Concentrated stock solutions of cop-
per sulphate one pound to each gallon
water (dissolved by suspending In
sacks at surface of water) are ofteu
used also a stock dome wash of a
creamy consistency which will keep
all seasons If kept covered with a lit-
tle clear water The 6-5-50 Bordeaux
Is generally recommended for pota-
toes which meads five pounds copper
sulphate five pounds of stone lime to
Suggestion for 8tralner Box
50 gallons of water To prepare 50
gallons of Bordeaux mixture aa per
above formula fill a 60-gallon cask
three-quarters full of water add five
gallons of the copper sulphate solu-
tion and stir In enough of the lime
wash to equal five pounds of stone
lime Stir well when adding the
lime and then test a little of the mix-
ture In a saucer or can with a few
drops of ten per cent solution of yel-
low pruBslate of potash If it shows
a red brown color lime must be added
until you get no color from the test
It is best to have a alight excess of
time than a deficiency As nozzles of
a smaller capacity than generally used
for orchard work are beat great care
should be used in straining the Bor-
deaux A strainer is made some-
what after style of the diagram the
size of mesh being the same as the
diameter of opening of nozzles An
Inverted V-shaped strainer will strain
mixtures that it would be impossible
to get through a strainer with a flat
horizontal sieve One-quarter to one-
half pound of Paris green or Its
equivalent in some other form of poi-
son should be added to 50 gallons of
Bordeaux when potato bugs threaten
Commence spraying when potato vines
are six Inches high and repeat about
every ten dayd
Doss with Nitrate of Soda
In many cases any plants that have
become sickly looking can by the aid
of a few doaes of nitrate of soda be
quickly brought to a good state of
health again but being very powerful
In its actions must be used in small
quantities a piece about the size of a
marble being large enough for a 12-
Inch pot This fertilizer has also the
effect of forcing plama on much more
quickly than other manures and Is
therefore valuable for assisting those
that are naturally of a slow growth
STOMACH OH STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
FOR INDIGESTION
Dr Williams' Pink Pills Cured This
Woman and Have Cured Many
Hundreda of Other Caaea Of
Common Allmenta
Loss of appetite coated tongue bad
taste in the mouth heavy doll headache
and a dull sluggish feeling -these are
the symptoms of stomach trouble They
iudicate that the stomach is on a strike
that it is no longer furnishing to the
blood the full quota of nourishment tliat
the body demands hence every organ
suffers
There are two methods of treatment
the old oue by which the stomach is
humored by the use of pmligee ted foods
aud artificial ferments and the new oue
by whioh the stomach is toned np to do
the work which nature intended of it
A recent enre by the tonic treatment is
that of Mrs Mary Btarkpole of 81
Liberty street Lowell Mass She says
‘I suffered constantly for years from
stomach trouble aud terrible backaches
and was confined to my bed the greater
part of three years I waa under the
care of onr family physician most of the
time bnt did not seem to get better
”1 was completely run-down aud was
not able to do my work about the honse
My blood was impure and my complex
ion pale 1 suffered from flashes of
heat followed suddenly by chills I
had awful headaches wiiich lasted from
three to four days I could get but little
rest at night as my sleep waa broken
ami fitful As a result I lost several
pounds in weight and became very ner-
vous “I was in a wretched condition when
I heard about Dr Williams’ Pink Pills
I started to take the pills at once and
began to gain in weight aud httalth I
waa encouraged by this to keep on until
1 was cured My friends aud neighbors
often remark what a changed woraau I
am and 1 owe it all to Dr Williams’
Pink Pills”
These wonderful pills are useful in a
wide rauge of diseases such aa amernia
rheumatism sciatica neuralgia nervous
headaches and even locomotor ataxia
and partial paralysis
The great valne of Dr Williams’ Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and tliis carries health
aud strength to every portion of tho
body The stomach is toned up the
nerves are strengthened every organ is
stimulated to do its work
Dr Williams’ Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists or sent postpaid on receipt
of price 50 cents per box six boxes for
$250 by the Dr Williams Medicine

ADVICE FROM ONE WHO KNEW
Proof of Dirt Results That Follow
Change of Occupation
“When I was district attorney” said
Judge Sweney of Shasta county Cali-
fornia “I secured the conviction of

CHANGE IN FOOD
Works Wonders in Health
It Is worth knowing that a change
In food can cure dyspepsia “I deem
It my duty to let you know how Grape-
Nuts food has cured me of indigestion
“I had been troubled with it for
years until last year my doctor rec-
ommended Grape-Nuts food to be used
every morning I followed Instruc-
tions and now 1 am entirely well
“The whole family like Grape-Nute
we use four packages a week You
are welcome to use this testimonial ae
you see fit”
The reason this lady was helped by
the use of Grape-Nuts food 1b that It
Is predlgexted by natural processes
and therefore does pot tax the stomach
as the food she bad been nslng it also-
contains the elements required for
building up the nervous system If
that part of the buman body is In per-
fect working order there can be no-
dyspepsia for nervous energy repre-
sents the steam that drives the en-
gine When the nervous system Is run
down the machinery of tbe body
works badly Grape-Nuts food ran be-
ued by small children as well as
adults It Is perfectly cooked and
ready for instant use
