GOOD SELF-FEEDING TROUGH Rectangular Frame Constructed Sc Cattle May Work Out Feed as Needed Without Clogging. The rectangular frame is 5 feel wvide and 10 feet high, and is con. structed of 4x4 inch material.

This construction is necessary in order to enable the cattle to work the feed out as needed and to prevent clogging.

It is not always the best plan to dis pose of beef cat tle as yearlings, but in many instances in the corn-belt area it has conme to be a common practice, and is followed by a consid erable number of cattle raisers: con sequently. this work of the Indiana experiment station will prove of great value to those following the plan of selling early. It was pointed out among other things, also, that if it were possible to turn the calves out on pasture early in the season, before the grass had started, still continuing the feed used in the dry lot, so th'at the steers would become accustomed to the grass very gradually, there would be little advantage in the dry lot feeding. except that due to the pre mium' paid for dry-fed cattle on the entral markets. This higher price is secured because of the general belief that the carcasses from dry-fed cattle IHANDY DOOR FOR FOG HOUS Annoyance of Cleaning Away Snow Litter May Be Avoided by Using Door Illustrated.

In regard to "the cost of a horse, I must first and firmly say that I re celved great profits from my horses and their services pay mue for their keeping. Am an old farmer and never had a pure-bred mare, but by good breeding I now have the seven-eighths Percheron. Beginning with the suck ling, they are of no bother to me, for until they are a month old the mother is brought up once in the forenoon and once In the afternoon, but after wards It is kept at the stable, says a writer in Baltimore American. Then in the fall before they are two they are broke and ready for light service in the spring. So from the time they are two years old they pay their own way. My coming two-year-olds weigh 1,500 pounds and bring $150, while the coming three-year-old bring $200. Thus by keeping our best young Percheron mares and clubbing together to buy a registered stallion I find there is a ready sale and clear profit for a farm. er in raising horses, and their services will pay for their keeping. ILitSioqc B1Nous /1 Cattle must have roughage or some kind. It is not a fact that a pig can take care of ald that he can eat. The 300-pound pig at eight months Is the nmasterwork of the feeder. The pig can eat more tban he can digest and digest more than he can use. Regular feeding is essential to suc cess and three feeds a day is better than two. Indigestible feeds such as bran and cob meal should be kept away ?rom the hog trough.. The work horse should have six to ten pounds of hay, in addition to the corn and carrot. iAs February lambs bring the highest prices they ought to te dropped at that time of the year. Cleanliness should begin in the sta ble, which must not only be kept clean, but well ventilated. There is no feed so good for young pigs and calves as sweet skim milk direct from the separator. Every stable where tuberculosis has existed should be well whitewashed twice in the next six months. There Is no stock on the farm that Iwill help so rapidly in advancing the fertility and good condition of the land as a flock of sheep.

COULD NOT GUESS HER AGE Mrs. Jones, at 52, Rides Horseback As Well As She Ever Could Kenny, Ill.-Mrs. Anna Jones, of this place, says: "I used to be trou bled with a weakness peculiar to women. For nearly a year, I could not walk, without holding my sides with my hands. I tried several dif ferent doctors, supposed to be the best, and was never even relieved. I got worse, and I told my husband I believed they were experimenting on me. "Finally our druggist advised Car for my complaint. I was so thin, my weight was 115. Now I weigh 163, and I am never sick. I ride horse back as good as I ever could. I am in fine health, at 52 years. Some think I am about 35. It was Cardui built me up. If I ever need medicine for womanly troubles, I shall use Cardui, for At is all you claim." Thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. Jones, in the past fifty years, to tell of the benefit received from Cardul. Such testimony, from earnest women, surely proves the great value of this tonic medicine, for the diseases peculiar to their sex. Cardui is the medicine you need. Try Cardui. (Your druggist has it.)
