SUMMER CARE OF SHEEP AND LAMBS The greatest point in the prevention of the maggot fly is to keep the ewes and Iambs well docked and clean be- hind, writes W. R. Gilbert in the Na- tional Stockman. The shepherd should be armed with a pair of shear's when he makes his rounds and any sheep that are inclined to scour a little or any that are wet and dirty behind should be caught lit and all the dirt clipped off. Otherwise the fly will strike there more readily than anywhere else. When struck by the fly the ewes, more espe- cially the launbs, will hold their heads clown, continually wagging their tails and endeavoring to bite the Place af- fected, and If not attended to will pull MT all the wool. When badly bitten they will lie bohind'a bush away from. the rest or the dock in great torture, or as far under a hedge as possible out of the sun. When found they should at once be taken to some sheltered place and $1,000,000 LOSS Itis estimated by the Government that keeping the male birds with the poultry flocks after the breeding sea son, is costing the Canadian farmers over $1,000.000 each year 11 isjtherefore to the advantage of every:egg producer to get rid Of all cockerels at once Just Received n Carload of Bran and Shorts., The Southdown Is the generally accepted type ofthe mutton and short wool sheep.

JENKINS HAND RAISED FOALS. WHY WEAK LUNGS? The toll of tuberculosis is claiming more than 350 victims every day in the United States, yet few realize their grave condition until the critical period arrives. Overwork, worry, weakness after sick- ness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats— all exert the weakening influence that invites consumption.

In case the mare dies or bas no milk the foal may be raised on cow's milk if the attendant conducts the work pa- tiently and intelligently, writes A. S. Alexander of Wisconsin experiment station. Choose the milk of a cow that has recently calved. preferably one which gives milk low in butter fat, for mare's milk while rich in sugar is poor in fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses or sugar and dilute' with warm water. Give a little of this prepared milk at short intervals from a scalded nursing bottle and large rubber nipple. Be careful to keep the bottle and nipple scrupulous- ly clean. Add an ounce of lime waiter to each pint of the prepared milk and allow half a cupful once an hour at first. Until the bowels move freely give rectal injections night and morning. If the foal scours at any time give two to four tablespoonfuls of a mix, ture of sweet oil ' and pure castor oil shaken up in milk and stop feeding milk for two or three meals, allowing sweetened warm water and lime wa- ter instead. Let the foal lick oatmeal as soon as it will eat, and gradually increase the amount and add wheat bran. In five or six weeks some sweet skimmilk may be given and the amount gradually increased daily until in three months or so, it may be given freely three times a day in place of new milk. The foal at this age also will be eating freely of grass, grain and. bran. HOG TYING A LONGHORN. Latching, Tripping and Roping a Steer In Twenty-seven Seconds. To rope, "bust" and "hog tie" a wild Ceras longhorn single handed in two ninntes is a sport which represents the gaily work of the range. hien of quick .ye and steady nerve each start their fifty feett behind the longhorn, which may jump the arena fence like a deer and again and again dodge when it hears the first swish of the rope. The :ope often breaks on the tautening, or the saddle may slip, as in the case of Bill Mahaffey, who landed on his head with foot caught in the stirrup and but for the splendidly trained cow pony might have been dragged and killed. There goes Cuba Crutchfield: He overtakes his sister. Swish, swish: His lariat zips through the air—a beautiful throw over the horns. Then the cow pony braces, and the rope tightens like e harp string. Watching, anticipating every move of his horned adversary, the cowboy now circles the animal so that the rope 1s brought from the horns around the hind legs. A word. and the knowing pony makes a sudden start. Thud, and the steer is tripped or "bust- ed." The rope tautens, and the rider is ;:ready running afoot with a short cord In band toward the steer, depending tor his own safety on his trained cow pony to hold that rope taut and the steer in position. With marvelous dex- terity he "bog ties" with a number of half hitches looped about the hind feet and one forefoot of the steer. The man stands erect, raises both arms in the air, and Crutchfield has not only won the steer roping championship, but has ridden down, roped, °thrown and hog tied a steer in twenty-seven seconds, within six seconds of the best record ever made.—World's Work. Handling the Cow. The fact that ar dairy cow is pure bred is not the only essential or indica- tion of a profitable cow. If a cow is pure bred there is a greater chance for her being a heavier milker than if not pure bred. However, breeding is only an indication that the cow may be prof- itable and that her offspring may be worth more money in the dairy than the offspring of a scrub or ° grade cow. A well bred cow, capable of converting, her feed into milk, Is, ns a matter of Pact, the fiat essential in the building up of the dairy. Good feeding, good • shelter and proper methodsof handling are other essentials which cannot be offset by any other quality, not even Are Your Bowels Ever Constipated If you wish to be well you must keep the bowels open. Any irregularity of the bowels is always dangerous, and should be attended to at once, for if the bowels cease to work properly, all the other organs become deranged. Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills work on the bowels gently and naturally, and will cure the worst cases of Constipation. Mrs. A. Cumming, Manchester, Ont., writes:—"I have been troubled with Constipation for over five years, and I feet it my duty to let you know that your Milburn's Laxa-Liver Pills have cured me. I only used three vials and I can faithfully say that they have saved me from a large doctor bill."

Mares of the Big Breeds Make the Most Profitable Returns. Itis not difficult to show that un- der average farm conditions the draft horse is one of the most profitable 'products, and perhaps the most profit- able of all live stock to grow, says M. Watson in the National Stockman. It does not follow that one should devote all his time to them or cover his farm with such animals. He should, how- ever, keep two or more strictly first class mores. As at general rule. it may be said that one-half of the farm teams should be draft mares. If one-half the farm teams are mares and the same are properly taken care of, never again will it be necessary to buy horses for the teams and in the course of time there will be horses to sell. In such a prospect the quality of dam should have careful attention. as the raising of horses is not a matter Women and Betting. "Why is it that men bet and`womer don't?"

CASTS: l Ter Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears thecc; Signature of ,--77• The shire breed of draft horse had its origin In England and is closely related to the Cyldesdale. In recent years it has grown In favor in the United States. Some breeders maintain that a Shire stal- lion is the best to mate with the common mares of the corn belt. The Shire is a little taller and heav- ler than the Clydesdale, and its walking gait is said to be slower than that of the latter breed. The illustration shows forequarters of a prize winning Shire mare. of months, but of years, and results are determined largely by the choice of dam and of coarse by proper mating. it is not supposed that the colts are raised for market, but for home use, and when thus used they w111 be even tuore profitable, not altogether in dol- lars, but largely In the pleasure of hav- ing just what is wanted on the farm. Those who don't raise but buy their farm horses must pay large profits and take chances. It takes a big mare to raise big horses, and certainly she is worth her price for work and breeding if she or a gelding like her is worth a similar fig- ure for work alone. The man with the mare bas an advantage over every one else in the horse business. He gets the double return on his investment. Horse Comfort. Keep a good, deep. dry bed under the horse while he is in the stable day or night, on Sundays. especially. The more he lies down the longer his legs and feet will last, _ QUICK NAPTHA THE WOMAN'S SOAP, The Ayrshire cow is of Scotch ori- gin and is coming into prominence in all parts of North America. It ranks among the foremost of the recognized dairy breeds. Official and competitive tests have shown the Ayrshire to be an economical producer of milk and butter, yield- ing a large amount for the food consumed. Ayrshires are strong and healthy, with plenty of vitality. The illustration shows an Ayrshire cow of the best type. rEEDING GRAIN, TO DAIRY CALVES stitute skimmilk groclually, the proper tion of whole milk being made les and less each day until the calf is get ting skimmilk exclusively at the end of a week or ten days.

If you exert a pound of pressure against a man in a swing, you'll start him moving slowly "to and fro." If you continue to exert a pound of pres- • sure against him every time the swing makes a trip, you'll soon have him going so high that he almost turns the whole circle. If you stop push- ing, the momentum will die out and the swing come to rest at "dead centre." Winning trade follows the same natural laws. Advertisements are the force behind the swing of public favor. Each new advertisement increases the momentum. Finally, the accumulated force of these numerous impulses swings indifference to the buying point. If you stop Advertising, you lose momentum. The moral of which is: Don't stop the business swing in Summer. Keep adding the pounds of Advertising pressure.
