Almost everyone knows something
“bout the use of sumo drugs. This
knowledge, although It may itui bo
HI riot ly accurate, is ofteu of great
value. Almost everyone has a small
collection of the more common ram-
edtea for home use. It la often just
as convenient to have remedies for
live stock that are suitable for simple
emergency cases, as to have drugs
for other purposes.
One who has to do with the care
of live stock should always have nt
hand some remedies that could be ap-
plied in h 11 emergency. There Is no
need of a great collection of drugs, as
itiat would be an unnecessary expense.
There are generally a number of driS;s
Hint may bo used for the same trouble
so that it is not necessary to give two
or three different kinda of medicine
for any trouble. In fact, one not ex-
perienced In combining drugs will gen-
erally do well to give only one kind at
a lime.
Since so many of the troubles of
stock are duo to Improper feeding, it
la generally important to have reme-
dies that can be used In the first
stages of spasmodic colic or acute in-
digestion. Often the prompt admln-
iatration of some remedy for colic will
save serious trouble.
Probably the following drugs will
answer to some extent the emergency
needs of most stockmen.
CHLORAL HYDRATE: This drug !a
in the form of white crystals, is easily
soluble in water, and haa a penetrat-
ing odor and a caustic, bitter taut*.
While this drug may be used In a
number of troubles its main use In
veterinary medicine is the -relieve
spasm and pain. An ounce of chloral
hydrate dissolved In a quart of warm
water and administered as a drench,
is as good a remedy in spasmodic
colic as any. The dose may be re-
peated in an hour If necessary. A half
ounce of powdered ginger or one ounce
of tincture of assafoetlda may be
mlded to the drench.
ACONITE: Tincture of aconite is
ono of the standard remedies and some
administer it for any conceivable ail-
ment. Aconite is a very active and
poisonous drug and should be given
wllh care. Aconite reduces fever and
to some extent relieves pain. It has
direct action on the heart and should
not be given to old work animals.
Usually tho tincture Is used and may
be given in from 15 to 20 drop doses
and can be repeated after two hours.
TONICS. There Is a large list of
drugs that may be used as tonics and
one or more of them are added to all
of the preparations that are sold as
stock foods. Many of these so-called
slock foods have very little value as
stock foods and still less as a medi-
cine. There is no drug or combination
of drugs that can lake the place of
corn, oats, and alfalfa, but it often
happens that horses need something
to act as a tonic and when such is the
case some combination of drugs may
bo given with profit. Usually the best
combination of drugs for this purpose
is a mixture of some bitter drugs, as
gentian aud nuxvomlca, with some
such drugs as ginger, capsloum. or car-
damon seed. 1 here is frequently
added to such a mixture Balt, powd-
ered iron, sulphate, saltpeter, ete.
The following combination of drugs
will be found servlrable ss a tonic
when such Is needed, and It will not
be expensive. The drugs ran be ob-
tained at almost any drug store.
Pulverize gentian, nux vomica, gin-
ger and funegreek, or each one part,
salt the parts and linseed meal
twenty-five parts Mix these thor-
oughly and give from one to three
spoonsful twice daily, well mixed in
the feed The gentian and nux vomica
sre exceedingly hitter drugs and onlv
small amounts of the mixture should
he used until the stork become accus-
tomed to the drugs.—L. L. Lewi*,

Hy best feeds for dairy cows In your
locality would suggest corn or kafir
ensilage, alfalfa or prairie hay, cot-

bran to mix with the meal. It is
possible as you see to raise all of
these feed stuffs on your own farm.

lence In the winter time. Dairy cow*

You will find a very good herd of

several others that you will reach
quite easily after going to that city.

REAL MISTRESS OF HOUSE
In Olden Days, Among Other Accom-
plishments. Woman Was Required
to Bo Export Carver.
In the matter of old time etiquette
at the table one recalls the part
played by the lady of the household
In the eighteenth century she waa
mistress of the ceremonies—she carv
ed and she dealt the while her lord
merely ••pushed'' the bottle.
She was also the menu, for If she
gave a dinner of several courses it
was her duty to announce to the
gueats, seated expectantly, what was
due to appear at table A dinner of
one course and she remarked that
They saw their dinner.”
Then her power* of gentle persua
•ton came Into play. A guest when
he had stuffed sufficiently placed the
handles of his knife and fork Into hla
plate, and the sight of a knife In posi-
tion whs the signal for the hostesi to
Inquire "If he would please to have
aomethlng more”
In the art of carving, of course,
the mistress of any country house
was a past mistress One recalls l-ady
Mary Montagna flight after porter
tlon under the wing of a professional
carving master: ‘ She took three les
sons a week, that she might be per
feet on her father's puhlle days; when,
In order to perform her functions
without interruptions, she was forced
to eat her own dinner alone an hour
or so beforehand.”

“Pop, will you tell me one thing?"
“Yes, son."
“Is a mobile countenance the same
thing as an auto face?"
"Do you think would psy to get
a cream separator when I only get
from three to four gallons of milk a
day?"—Mrs. J. C. Hamman, Kay Coun-
ty, Oklahoma.
I believe that It would be advisable
to buy a small size machine; however,
conditions differ largely on different
farms, and the matter of buying a
cream separator is largely a question
for each Individual to decide for him-
self. I would think that a $65.00 ma-
chine which has a capacity of 835
gallons of milk per hour would bo
sufficiently large for your use and
such a machine carefully operated
and properly handled should last from
eight to ten years. The following
arguments in favor of the cream sepa-
rator may be of Interest to you:
First, Ry the use of the cream sepa-
rator more and a better quality of
cream can 3e obtained.
Second, flkim milk of a higher feed-
ing value on account of Its better
quality Is also obtained.
Third, The skim milk is obtained
from fhe warm fresh milk and is bet-
ter for feeding to your young calvea
and pigs.
Fourth, Less time and labor is re-
quired In handling the milk and va-
rious dairy utensils, also In obtaining
the cream.
Fifth, The Increase in value of the
nmount and quality of butter fat ob-
tained by the use of the cream sepa-
rator over the old method of skim-
ming will amount to approximately
$10 00 per cow per year.
Sixth. A cream separator properly
handled and properly operated will
last from eight to ten years.—Roy C.
