RULES FOR DIPPING SHEEP Animals Should Be Sheared at One Tim? and Immediately After i Treated to Sulphur Solution. The following ten rules should be observed In dipping sheep: 1. Select a dip containing sulphur. If a prepared dip Is used which does not contain sulphur It Is always safer 1 to add about 16^ pounds of sifted flowers of sulphur to every 100 gallons of water, especially If after dipping the sheep have to be returned to the 2. Shear all the sheep at one time and Immediately after shearing con fine them to one-half the farm for two to four weeks. Many persons prefer to dip Immediately after shearing. 3. At the end of this time dip every sheep, and every goat also, if there are any on the farm. 4. Ten days later dip the entire flock a second time. 5. After the second dipping place the flock on a portion of the farm from which they have been excluded during the previous four or five weeks. 6. Use the dip at a temperature of 100 to 110 degrees. 7. Keep each sheep In the dip two minutes by the watch, do not guess at the time, and duck Its head at least once. 8. Be careful In dipping rams, as they are more liable to be overcome in the dip than the ewes. 9. Injury, however, may result to pregnant ewes, which must on this account be carefully handled. Some farmers arrange a stage with sides to hold the pregnant*ewes, which is lowered carefully into the vat and raised after the proper time. 10. In ccse a patent or proprietary dip, especially an arsenical dip, Is used, the directions given on the package should be carried out to the letter. CLEANING OF MILK BOTTLES Improved Process Described by Lead ing Dairy Journal of Germany? Should Be Well Aired. The Hopfen Zeltung, the leading dairy paper of Germany, states a fact I In reference to the cleaning of bottles : from fatty substances, which may serve as a valuable hint In cleaning ! all dairy utensils. The process Is as I follows: Pour warm water Into the bottle, fill In a little ordinary hay and rub the Inside of the bottle with the hay thoroughly, using a small stick. Now rinse the bottle out with clean water, and not a trace of odor of fat will remain. Large bottles which had contained coal oil were successfully cleaned In the same way. Large milk dalrle^ having steam power, use a hot-water sterilizer, whloh cleans the bottles very quickly. The dairy uten sils, after cleansing, should b? set out on a table In the sun where they can be well aired. Take the lids of! the cans eo the air can enter. Corn for Horses. It Is not safe under any circum stances to pasture horses in stalk j fields or to feed them fodder from I fields In which the corn was wormy. i Great care should be exercised In 1 choosing the corn fed to horses. Oft : en It Is not thoroughly cleaned by i fanning. There are too many moldy grains i which are too heavy to be separated from the sound corn In this way. The safest method Is to pour the shelled corn Into water and skim off and throw away all the part that rises to the surface. Making the Layers In Advance. Now la the time to think of being I an egg producer next winter. Look ! after the hens that are going to lay . hatching eggB for you this spring, get : out the pullets in time and keep them | growing and get them to start laying I In November, when eggs are scarcest. There is really not much of a trick i in getting eggs. It Is care, feed and I making the hen happy, that Is all. i She will and must lay, if you give her the right kind of -feed and look after her comfort. Turkey Prime at Thrfce Years. The turkey is not fully matured until two years of age, and is In his prime at three years, and nearly as good at four years old. It is, there fore, a mistake to sell off all the older birds and retain the young ones for breeding purposes. The Mare In Farm Work. It will not pay to attempt to use mares to do the farm work unless ! they are given the care required. A ! mare will do a large amount of work and raise a good colt, but she must be handled differently from the way mules are generally handled. Fresh Earth for Hogs. If you are not situated so that you can let your hogs out, draw a load of earth and throw It Into the pens now and then. The hogs will work It over and make a lot of comfort doing It. Makes them grow faster, too. Raising Better Animals. When breeding horses the aim should be to produce the one that ! will bring the largest profit. If j cheaper animals are desired, sell the 1 higher-priced animal and buy the cheaper grade. Transplanting and the Sun. Do not do your transplanting during the heat of the day. It la better to de lay a little and wait for a rainy or cloudy day. Unless conditions are ex tremely propitious, make use of the "puddling" process. AUTOS SOLD. Mr. J. 0.

The 1911 and 1912 term of the High School ended last week, and the. teachers left for their respective j homes, and vacation days, that mean so much, and around and in which so many bright hopes cluster are being enjoyed by them, as well as the pu pils under their pleasing and profit able tuition, and when their joyous. restful leisure is ended they will be' the better prepared for the duties ly-j ing before them during the coming, term. It will doubtless be many days yet,' and may be months, before the evil effects of last years' damaging weath- j er conditions,. in many respects pass | away and are forgotten. Perhaps there was nothing relating to the gen- j oral welfare of all of the people that was more hurtful than the rotting in early winter of all of the sweet po tatoes in this and all other sections, so far as heard from. Here, as in al most every community, there were a few who raised more largely of this "mn fhan manv of their I I I I \>KJ I UUil. neighbors. This year not a potato nor slip, home raised to be had. A'.! had to send to Florida and other places for their supply, and as the supply did not equal the demand many will have to do without, and the crop this year will be much below an average one.
