WAR DEMAND' FOR HORSES.
American Farmers Have an Oppor-
tunity to Supply the Demand.
During the next decade there will
probably be an 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
theUnitedStates department of agri-
culture,. as not only will horses be
needed for armies, but when peace is
restored more will be needed for agri-
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 this increased European de-
mand American farmers may well en-
deavor to raise well bred horses, ` al-
though the department of agriculture

does not advise them to purchase a
surplus of horses merely for breeding
purposes. It merely advises that ordi-
nary farm work should be done when-
ever
henever possible by good mares, which
should be bred 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 market, and their
production is to be discouraged as
much as the production of good horses
should be encouraged.
The United- States has 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 doebted,whether a foreign govern-
ment could now obtain a similar sup-
ply
n p•ply in this country, except at exces-
sive cost. However, if farmers take
pains to utilize their good mares duh

be furnished by other means, and the
most satisfactory way of doing this is
to plow under some leguminous crop
as a green manure.

about the middle of last October ,(1913),
I caught a cold which got worse despite
all treatments I could obtain, until
abowt November 22nd, a friend said,
' Why not try Dr. Wood's Norway

it at the time as I had tried nearly every

and the coughing so prolonged, that
vomiting occurred after a hard smell of
coughing. I' carried the bottle in illy

I' can most heartily recommend Dr.

with: a severe cold, as its powers are most

without it at all times."

Keeping Woodchuck Away.
The woodchuck, or groundhog, is so
destructive to gardens in some coun-
ties
oupties in this section that a few remedial
measures may be of interest. White
muslin '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
isulphide and the mass rolled into the
hole as far as possible. In order that
the fumes may" have the fullest pos-
sible effect,' close the bole as tightly
as possible. A good marksman with 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. Waehburn,

MARKET GARDENING.

Button radishes are easily grown hi
cold frames. Light, fertile, moist soil

is essential. Seeds d be sow
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 an inch!
and a half apart Keep the ground'
moist 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
soil should be well enriched with rote
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
watering is necessary snake a thole
ough application and do not repeat un-
til absolutely necessary.
Pansies transplanted into the cold
frame as late as Nov. 1 will make. good
spring plants, although they will be
later in blooming than earlier set
planta. 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-
fectly hardy in : all sections of the
country. It ,is a little lateto 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 in the
stables nights now, and these should
to
be put in the best condition for winter.
There will not be much grass in the
pastures, so they ,willneed 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 dairy barn and see if the
income from her dairy products will
pay for her feed "and leave you a rea-
sonable profit on your time, and labor.
Lice are frequent causes of unthrift-
;ness 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 milking them just because
they happen to be on the farm. There'
is little satisfaction iu simply taking
care of them as a chore. If there is
not at least a fair remuneration for
feed and labor no pleasure' can bo got
out of theithing.

WAR EFFECT ON FARMING.
There is one probable outcome
of the European war, which food
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 forty years ago, led to the .�
"Invention" of oleomargarine.
Chemists learned howto blend
cheap fats into an imitation of
pure butter. We all know what
a remarkable effect this discov-
ery bas 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 of 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
producing the chemicals needed
is 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 changed by this war.

Signature of
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 sim-
ilar 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•"
erasion. There is this difference, how
ever, between the operations of the de-
partment of domestic science and the
farm bureau proper: the latter has been
tried out in many of its essential possi+
bilities, with the result that waste ef-
fort has been eliminated, and the work
now being undertaken by a properly
equipped farm bureau is carried on is
accordance with well established rules;
well defined policies and on a ecientifie
basis. The domestic science depart-
ment, on the contrary, goes into a vir•
gin field without knowledge gained
through previous experience and must
work out its own salvation to the last
detail.
The fact bee been recognized for
many years that one of the principal
handicaps to successful, farming had
been the failure heretofore to gives
;proper • consideration to the women's,
end of farm work. There is probably;
no business undertaking in which mea,
and women co-operate more closely,
than they do in farming, yet despite
the fact that the national government
and the governments of practically ev-
ery commonwealth in the nation 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
the farmer's wife and her daughter.

GREEN MANURE CROPS.
Necessary to Increase and Preserve
Fertility of land.
[Prepared by the tutted States depart-
ment of agriculture.]
To increase and preserve the fertility,
of his ]and 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 farmto lie
stock and return the resulting manure
to the soil, the fertility of such a farm
could be maintained indefinitely. It is
true that a ..small amount of..notlxsh.

lows; Red clover, alfalfa, cowpeas, al.
sake 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'
fornlebes the largest amount of ma-
terial to decay in the soil. The essen-
tial fertilizing substances thus added
are nitrogen, phosphorus and potash.
In addition to the fertilizing valueof
these crops, they are all useful as feed.
It 1s 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 chief objection to a
that e fact
are
green man crop is th
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 pore
Bible extent the feed value of the crop
the forceof
1s
objection is
lessened.
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
end 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 field peas; (2) win-
ter annuals, including crimson clover,
bur clover, hairy vetch and in the
south common vetch and field peas; (8)

are red clover, white clover, sweet.

that inoculation of the soil is an es-
sential for these legumes and scientific
advice on this point is desirable.

THE WEAK SPOT
IIM 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 twinges, 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.
Dome'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 thein to act freely and naturally.
