During the next decade there will probably be increased demand for American horses in the countries now engaged in the European war. The demand • may even continue much" longer, according to investigators of the United States department of agri-" culture, as : not only will horses be needed for armies, but when peace is restored more will be needed for agrl- culture. Already European agents are said to be endeavoring to purchase horses in this country and Canada, and there is an increased interest in many sections in horse breeding. To meet tills increased European de- mand American farmers may well en- deavor to raise well bred horses, al- though the department of agriculture PARKINS MOULD aA7an WELL BRED U0BSS& does not advise them to purchase a surplus of horses merely for breeding purposes. It merely advisee that ordi- nary farm work should, be done when- ever possible by good mares, which should be breed to good stallions. It also desires to emphasize the fact that only horses of high quality may be profitably raised today. Inferior horses are a drug on the marker, and their productiea le to be discouraged as. much as the production of good horses should be encouraged. The United States bas previously been drawn on to supply European countries at war. In the Boer war over 100,000 horses were bought here by the British government. It may be' doubted; whether a foreign govern- ment could now obtain a similar sup- ply in this country, except at exces- sive cost. However, if farmers take pains to utilize their good mares dur- HAD A BAD COLD WITH PROLONGED COUGHING. TRIED NEARLY EVERYTHING FINALLY DRe WOOD'S NORWAY PINE. SYRUP CURED HIM.

Really, ,I had no faith in it at the time as I had tried nearly every other remedy I had heard of, to no avail, but I thought I would give this last remedy a trial: I purchased a 50 cent bottle, and in three days I was feeling a different man. My cold was so hard, and the coughing so prolonged, that vomiting occurred after a hard spell ,of coughing. I carried the bottle in my pocket, and every time I was seized with a coughing spell I would take a small dose. I can most heartily recommend Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup to auydhe, with a severe cold, asits powers arelno+t marvelous, and I never intend beiug without it at' all times." .

The woodchuck, or groundhog, is se destructive to gardens in some coun- ties in this section that a few remedial measures may be of. interest. White melba strips may, be tied to the pea vine supports about a foot above' the ground, at intervals of about a foot in a row, to keep the animal away. Cotton or oakum may be wrapped around a stone soaked In carbon bi- sulphide and the mass rolled into the bole as far as possible. In order that the fumes may have the fullest pos- sible effect, close the hole as tightly as possible. A good marksmanwith a rifle, stationed where he can secure a good view of the infested field, may prove effective. Blasting powder and a long fuse are sometimes used, and so is the steel trap. -F. L. Washburn, Minnesota Station. MARKET GARDENING. Button radishes are easily grown in cold frames. Light, fertile, moist soil is essential. Seed should be sown in rows• four inches apart. Cover seed' with one-fourth inch of soil and thin the plants to stand about two inches apart. If a variety' of light foliage is• selected the plants may stand nn inch! and a half apart. Keep the ground motet and admit some fresh, air . every day. Strong plants of lettuce set in the cold frame now may attain market- able size before Thanksgiving. The Boll should be well enriched with rot-; ten manure. A light application of bonemeal, tankage and a little nitrate of soda, in addition to manure, will likely give a heavier crop. It is best, to avoid frequent watering on account of encouraging leaf rot. Whenever wateribg is necessary make a theta ongh application and do not repeat un- til absolutely necessary. Pansies transplanted into the cold Crane as late as Nov. 1 will make. good spring plants, although they will be later in blooming than earlier set plants. Late fall planting, however, involves less work in caring for the frames before the arrival' of real win- ter weather when the frames need no attention. More Egyptian or winter onions should be grown in home as well as commercial gardens. They are per• feetiy hardy in all sections sof the. country. It fa a little late to plant them now for the earliest spring crop, but they are worth trying even at this late date.- National Stockman and Farmer. CARING FOR THE STOCK. The cows will need to be kept bathe stables nights now, and these should be put in the best condition for winter. There will not be much grass in the pastures, so they will need to be fed mostly at the barn. The meadows should not be closely fed, but a sufficient; growth left for good protection through the winter. While you have plenty of time during the winter keep a close watch of every cow in the daily barn and see if the income from her .dairy products will pay fbr her feed and leave you a rea- sonable profit on your time, and labor. Lice are frequent causes of unthrift- rheas with fall pigs. Whenever nits or lice are seen the pigs should be dipped at ten day intervals or else given one coating of crude oil applied with a broom. Don't tie yourself to the profitless cow. There is no sense in keeping cows and milkuag them just because they happen to be ou the farm. There is little satisfactiou iu simply taking clue of them as a chore. It there is not at least a fair remuneration for feed and iribor no pleasure can be got silt of thething; WAR EFFECT ON FARMING. There is one probable outcome of the. European war which food SS producers should consider. That is the discovery of new chemical methods of preparing food. As .. we know, the shortage of food during the siege of Paris, more -� than ferty years ago, led to the "invention" • of oleomargarine. Chemists learned how to blend cheap fats into an imitation of pure butter. We all know what a remarkable effect this discov- ery has had upon the dairy busi- ness. It is not at all unlikely '" that the necessities of the pres- ent war may drive the chemists to new discoveries which will en- able them to produce substances capable 01 sustaining life without going through the slow processes of animal or vegetable growth. The Germans are a strong, capa- ble and determined people. We hear it said that this nation may be "starved out," yet it has been nearly self sustaining in Its food. production, and its chemists are probably most capable of making the laboratory substitute for the farm in producing food and fiber. While America must now be con- sidered the great food producing nation for the next twenty years, we must all be prepared for new chemical foods which may affect our business as oleo has changed dairying, and the salve necessi- ties will drive our chemists to the discovery of new methods of ng roducin the chemicals needed in manufacturing. Already it is said that Mr. Edison has discov- ered a new plan of preparing carbolic acid. We think both farming and manufacturing will be greatly changedby this war. -Rural New Yorker. -I-I-i-FI-I•i-I-; CASTORIA For Infants and Children 110 095e For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of . . WOMAN'S WORK ON FARMS. Bureau Established to Take Up Femi- nine End of Farm Toil. A department of domestic science has been established in connection with the Erie county farm bureau of the Buffalo Chamber of Commerce. says the American City.' The plans of the bureau provide for doing for women and girls on the farm, within their possible range of activities, work aim. liar to that which is being done through the medium' Of farm bureaus for men and boys upon the farm within the range of their well defined lines of op. oration. There is this difference, how. ever, between the operations of the de- partment and the en artm t of domestic s P farm bureau proper: the latter has been tried out in many of its essential possi•1 bilitles, with the result that waste elf - fort bas been eliminated,and the work. now being undertaken by a properly equipped farm' bureau is carried on in accordance with well established rales, well defined policies and on a scientific basis; Tho domestic science depart - meat, on the contrary, goes into a vir- gin, field without knowledge gained through previous experience and mart work out its own salvation to the last detalL The fact has been recognized for many years that one of the principal handicaps to successful farming hal been the failure heretofore to give; proper , consideration tothe women's end of farm work. There is probably' no bualness undertaking in which men and women co-operate more closely than they do in farming, yet despite the fact that the national' government and the governments of practically "ea ery commonwealth in thenation have spent large sums of money in further- ing the progress of agriculture through the medium of the farmer and his son. thus far comparatively little has been devoted to similar work with regard to thefarmer's wife and her daughter Easily Handled Gate. There. are probably more farm gates made in the manner shown by the il- lustration here'tthan any other kind, says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. ' If well made ellen gates last long, ao not get out of order and swing about as easily as any kind to, be found. This gate hangs on a cleat between two posts set eight inches apart and one nix inches ahead of the other. It opens by sliding it back and swinging and phosphorus would be absorbed in the live stock and taken from the'farin when they were sold, but the loss from , this source would be small. Unfortunately this system 4e very rarely possible in practice. The mar- ket demand for live stock is not suffi- cient to make it profitable to keep enough animals on' the farm to furnish the amount of fertilizer the land re; quires, 'This,.of' course, is especially true of regions where stock raising 1s carried on only to a small extent. In such regions the humus needed must be furnished by other means, and the most satisfactory way of doing this is to plow under some leghminons crop as a green manure. There are fifteen legumes that, are more or less extensively grown in the United States., The comparative value of these crops varies; of course, accord- ing to climatic and other conditions, but in the approximate order of their importance they may be ranked as fol. 4t arosind. A large bolt through both posts will allow easy sliding of the gate, and when it is pushed back three or four feet the weight is so evenly hung on the cleat or bolt that there is Little lifting to be done, the gate being balanced over the cleat or rod between the posts. When the gate Is shut the free end tits in between two otherp osta, rest- ing upon a cleat so that It is off the ground. It pays to make a good, strong, well braced gate while we are at the job.; Such a one will last, for ,y ats. Rewinding Barbed Wire. The sketch shows a very useful de- vice for winding loose wire and taking up old wire fences. Procure: an old buggy axle and wheels and fasten two 2 by 4 sticks five feet long to the axle, as illustrated Provide the front end with a rod, the end of which is bent to form a ;sank. Two bent nails hold the block, which had to be out out to allow the rod to be put in place. When the spool is on the nails are twisted 00 as to keep, the rod in place. If the rod does not hold the spool tightly, use wedges. One man pushes, and the man in front turns the crank. ,Wire can be wound as fast as a maxi can walk and just as evenly, as wheel bought new. Scientific g Farmin GREEN MANURE CROPS. Necessary to Increase and Preserve Fertility of Laud. ]Prepared by' the Milted States depart• ment of agriculture.] To increase and preserve the fertility of his land is one of the chief' prob- lems of the farmer who- looks more than a year or two into the future. For this purpose barnyard manure Is unquestionably the best agent, for it retains from 75 per cent to 00 per cent of all the fertilizing substance Con- tained in the food given to the animal. Were it possible, indeed, to feed the entire product of any farm to live stock and return the resulting manure. to the soil, the fertility of such a farm could be maintained. indefinitely. It is true that o. snzilll amount of notaash 0NDEIPXOWING sox BEANS. lows: Red clover. alfalfa, cowpeas, d- ense, clover, crimson clover, white clo- ver, field peas, soy beans, peanuts, 'vetch, bur clover, Japan clover, sweet clover and velvet beans. The most important object achieved 'by the use of any of these green ma- nure crops is the addition of humus to the soil. Other things being equal, the best green manure crop is that which furnishes the largest amount of ma- terial to decay in the soil. The essen- tial fertilizing substances thus added are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash. Ia addition to the fertilizing'valueof these crops, they are all useful as feed. It m therefore unquestionably better practice to feed as much as the live stock on the farm can consume and then distribute the resulting manure over the land than to plow under the Whole crop. The chicf objection to a green manure crop that 1s the fact t or- dinarily it takes the place of a regu- lar crop, and, In consequence, for that season at least, the land yields no in- come. By utilizing to the fullest pos- sible extent: the feed value of the crop i lessened. the !Oreo of this objection s ectioa j Because of the loss of income green. manuring cannot be recommended for all soils and all times. It Is, however, of such importance that agricultural authorities have in recent years devot- ed considerable time to an endeavor to increase its general. use. In particular, crimson clover, hairy vetch, cowpeas and bur clover are becoming more and more popular. From an agricultural' point of view the legumes are commonly classified into three groups: (1) Summer annuals, including cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, beans, velvet beans and in the north common vetch and Held peas; (2) win- ter anneals. including crimson clover, bur clover. h vetch and in the south common ve h and field peas; (8) biennials or perennials, among which are red clover, white clover, sweet clover, aiaike clover and alfalfa. a , Few of these Crops can be grown ex- cept in a more or less definitely limit- ed area. Before ,determining, there- fore, which to plant the farmer will do well to consult his state experiment station. It must also be remembered that inoculation of the soil is an es- sential for these legumes and scientific advice on thin point is desirable. Make a Compost Heap.

When the kidneys get ill the back gives out. But the back is not to blame. The ache comes from the kidneys, which lieunder the small of the back. Therefore, dull pain in the back, or sharp, quick twinges, are warnings of sick kidneys -warnings of kidney trouble. Plasters- and liniments will not cure a had back, for they cannotreach 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.
