WOOD ASHES FOR THE FARM.
A Valuable Fertilizing Material That
le Often Neglected.
[Prepared by the United States depart-
ment of agriculture.]
It probably occurs to few farmers
that it would be, worth their while to
save their wood ashes and return to
the land a considerable amount of val-
uable fertilizing material, yet there
Is no reason why this cannot be done
with a very small expenditure of care
and labor.
It is not, of course, to be expected
that the average farm household will
accumulate enough ashes to take the
place of the imported potash which has
hitherto played such an important part
in fertilizing American land and the
supply of which has now been prac-
tically cut off by the European war.
Nevertheless it is quite certain that
a bushel of wood ashes has suiiicient
fertiliaing value to make its preserva-

tion well worth while. The ashes may
be applied as a top dressing to grass
land and to pastures, where they fos•
ter the growth of cloverand desirable
grasses, aiding them tocrowd out in-
ferior kinds and weeds. For corn and
roots ashes are also helpful, but be-
cause of their' lime content they are
not so good for potatoes.
It is essential, however, that the
farmer do not permit bis ashes to
leach. In many households,it has been
customary in the past for housewives
to save the ashes and leach out the
potash for use in making .cap. Obvi-
ously if the potash is leached out the
ashes have lost their chief usefulness
to the land.
For agricultural purposes the ashes
from different species of trees vary
considerably in value, Thus the ashes
from such soft woods as pine contain
less phosphorus and potash than those
from the harder woods, like oak, elm,
maple and hickory. The ashes of
twigs and small branches are also
worth more than the yield from heart-
wood taken from the middle of an old
tree. In general it may be said that
the smaller and younger the wood that
is burned the better the ashes.
This means that by bestowing a lit
tle care upon his wood lot the farmer.
can obtain for himself the fuel that
will be most usefulto him, 'while at
the same time its removal benefits in-
stead of injuring his woods. It is of-
ten the case that very little, if any,
discrimination is used when cutting
down the trees for fuel. More judg-
ment in this respect would actually
benefit the timber that is left standing,
while supplying tbe household with all
the wood that it needs. Again, it is
sheer extravagance to allow stock to
pasture in woods. They destroy and
retard.youug growth, .pack down the
soil and expose the roots of the trees.
]3y taking care of his trees as he would
of any other crop tbe farmer in the end
will gain much more than by allowing
cattle and other stock to feed upon it
at will.
Mature Corn For Ensilage.
it is an irreparable blunder to fill
the silo with immature corn. in times
past the use of ensilage of this sort
eels rn. many amen ut$gu. eu [Lieu with
the whole silo proposition. in the first
place, such ensilage does not have as
great feeding value as that made from
mature corn, and in the second place it
is apt to throw stock completely out
or condition.
Corn contains the highest percentage
of nutrients when it reaches a point
where it can be said to be mature.
This does not mean that it is ready
for cribbing, but it does tneau that
the grain must, be firm, and in all
probability the lower leaves will be
turning yellow. If the fodder is a1-
lowed to get too, dry the ensilage will
not be sufficiently heavy to pack well,
and that is why the crop should be,
cut after grain has becomewell dent-
ed. but before the upper and middle
leaves are wilted. Rather than to
make the mistake of putting up corn
that is immature one had better use
water while filling the, silo with fod-
der that has become somewhat dried
We caption those who are putting
up "ensilage for the first time especiai-
ly to guard against the storing of the
erop while it is in a condition to•cle-

War News
Affected Her.
Many people who have been reading
the terrible war news from day to day,
especially those who have relatives at
the seat of war, have become so nervous
that it is impossible for them to sleep.
'The nerves have become unstrung and
the heart perhaps affected.
Milburn's heart and Nerve Pills will
build up the unstrung nervous system
and strengthen the weak heart.
Miss Hildia Dicaire, Martintown,
Ont., writes; . "In August, 1914, I was
out of school for my health. I was visit-
ing friends in London, and heard of the
war. It made, me so nervous that I
could not sleep, but after using Mil -
burn's Heart and Nerve Pills I improved
greatly, and could take my school again.
I have recommended them to many of
my friends."

DRAFT HORSES IN AMERICA.
As Good Stock Can Be Raised Hero as
Abroad.
(Prepared by United States department
of agriculture.)
The best breeds of draft horses are
now so well established in the United
States that experts of the United
States department of agriculture be-
lieve that the European war, winch
•has interfered seriously with importa-
tions, will not injure breeding in this
country. It is, in fact, asserted that
the American people will now have an
opportunity to see for themselves that
as good stock can be raised in this
country as any that can be imported.
The leading characteristic of good
draft horses is massiveness, for their
chief usefulness is the hauling of
heavy loads. In consequence power,
not speed, is desired. To possess this
power a horse should be compact, low
set, or short legged, and be able to
throw a great deal of weight into his
collar without losing a secure footing.
A. draft horse of the best type should
therefore weigh at least 1,800 pounds,
and in localities where the heaviest
breeds are common any animal under
this is classed as a light drafter. In
good drafters the chest is deep and

broad, the girth large and the body
lamed, deep and comparatively short,,
With well sprung ribs. The muscles
of the hind quarters and thighs must
be well developed, for it is these that
futeish the chief drawing power, the
front legs acting largely as weight car-
riers. ,Good legs and feet, with clean,
heavy bone, are very essential. In ac.
tion the' than horse should walk with
a rapid etelde of good length, the feet
being carried straight forward. This
kind of actioncovers considerable
ground in a short time. 'The ability to
tint well is also desirable, but the wall;
is the draft horse's gait,
Today the Percheron probably out-
numbers hi this coo.ttry all other
breeds combined. In f It condition a
couture stallion will weigh from 1,800
to 2,000 pounds, though many exceed
this. In hei.4ht it runs from sl:;teen'to

Loss of Barnyard Manure.
Pile up the manure of the barnyard
with no protection from leaching and
other detrimental actions • of nature.
and more than 20 per cent of the fer-
tilizing strength of
g
t the manure is lost.
Put down a bed of earth and on this
pile the manure, spreading a thin coat
of earth occasionally, and finally when
the heap is completed, cover It with
a thick coat of earth. The result has
been that only about 2 per cent of the
fertilizing strength of the manure has
been lost. Tested in the field, earth
preserved manure has been found to
yield on a potato crop three times as
much as the carelessly kept and unpro-
tected manure.
Soon the cattle will be in the stalls
foe winter feeding and the timefor
mai ing the manure heaps will begin.
;Phis is a year when conserving every-
thing that is useful that has been going,

tion of the farmer. -Home and Farm-
stead.
SOMETHING ABOUT CATTLE
No farmer who has not tried It should
engage in the cattle feeding business
on a large scale at the start. He will
find, and generally at pretty high cost,
that experience and good judgment are
needed as much as corn to lay the fat
on a bunch of steers at a profit.
The power of production 1n a cow is
Inherited. If the cow is a good dairy
animal by inheritance and is given
good care and feed she will become
more productive as she increases in
age. The quantity rather than the
duality of her milk is influenced by
feed.
It costs just so much to put a pound
of meat on an animal, and if It is lost
during the winter, from low feeding or
exposure, it is just that much extract-
ed from the owner's pocket. It is
much more profitable and sensible to
retain every pound of flesh gained and
also if possible to keep encb animal
improving all through the winter.
Pure bred dairy cattle will often be
the keynote to great profit from the
farm. what is the use of keeping au
indifferent. nonproducing animal of
any description when one that will
make a bantlsome profit will mire no
more room, no more care and no more
feed?
THE WEAK SPOT
IN THE BACK.
When the kidneys get ill the back
gives out.
But the back is not to blame.
The ache comes from the kidneys,
which lie under the small of the back.
Therefore, dull pain in the back, or
sharp, quick twieges, are warnings of
sick kidneys -warnings of kidney trouble.
Plasters and liniments will not cure
a bad back, for they cannot reach the
kidneys which cause it.
Doan's Kidney Pills reach the kidneys
themselves. They are a special kidney
and bladder medicine. They heal the
diseased surface of kidneys and bladder,
and help them to act freely and naturally.
Mrs. Chester Romain, Fort Coulonge,
Que., writes: "I had been troubled with
sere back for over four years, and could
get nothing to do ins any good until
I heard of your Doan's Kidney Pills.
I got three boxes, and took them and
now I am completely cured."
Doan's Kidney Pills are 50c a box,
3 boxes for 51..25, at all dealers or mailed
direct on receipt of price by The T. hill -

THE SEE=STING CURE
Not Only Rheumatism But Alcoholism
Succumbs to Treatment
According to the recent testimony
of various doctors and ,their patients,

ed by the sting of the b?e. in one
ease a person crippled by rheumatism.
for fifteen years was contpietely cured
after he began to keep bees and ws
continually stung by them; whale In
another case a lady who had been
crippled for four years by an attack
of rheumatic fever bad bee -stings ap-
plied to the various affected parts,
and within a fortnight the stiffness
and pain left her feet, ankles, elbows,
and finger -joints.
And there are several authentic
cases of people over eighty years of
age who have suffered for years from
rheumatism being completely cured
by this novel remedy.
The explanation lies In the fact that
the bee, when it stings, injects a large
quantity of formic acid into the body.
This acid as has been shown by ex.
perience with hundreds of cases, is
the best antidote for the poisons in
the, system which stiffen the muscles
and joints with rheumatism.
It is affirmed, too, by physicians
that inebriety as well es rheumatism
may be cured by bee -sting. This dis-
covery was made quite by accident
in a London hospital. Five men were
being treated for chronic rheumatism.
Four of them had been hard drinkers
for years, and one was a confirmed
drunkard. Bee -stings were applied to
them, and the rheumatic condition
promptly subsided. When they were
finally discharged they found that the
treatment had done more than cure
the rheumatism -it had destroyed their
taste for alcohol. Riven the sight of
drink nauseated them, and since leav-
ing the hospital several months ago
not one of then' has touched liquor.
The hospital pliysicians, who were
as greatly astonished at this unex-
pected result as their patients, set on
foot a widespread inveetigation into
the effects of bee -stings on drunkards
to see whether they are an infallible
cure for inebriety. Facts already
brought to light show that an 1n-
toxicated person is quickly sobered
by a bee -sting, and that drinking men
who take up work among bees, where
they are frequently stung, soon lose
their old craving for alcohol.
