In taking possession of German New Guinea the Australians have annexed what once formed a physical part of their own vast continent.

"I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's con dition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not sc frequent, and her general condition much improved.

With the tendency toward increased prices on all kinds of feeds and with the increased attention to the business Side of farming, the economical main tenance of mature work mules has become an important problem on many farms in the state where mules are used. It has been the custom to maintain mules on various rations, consisting of oats, corn, timothy hay and perhaps some other common feedstuffs. These have been fed in varying quantities and combinations. Corn has been used extensively as a grain ration. Many students of ani mal nutrition have given the matter consideration and have recommended a less extensive use of corn and an addition of an increased portion of oats and other feedstuffs. It has been a prevalent opinion that oats is a better feed than corn for horses and mules. Various argu ments have been presented as proor of this statement, yet the fact re mains that corn constitutes a great portion of the feed given to mature work animals. The protein content of oats and the mineral content to gether with the physical condition of the oats as a feed have all been cited as reasons for the efficiency of oats. It has been suggested that a mixture of oats and corn for work mules would be a more satisfactory ration than either oats or corn alone. To deter mine these points expeiiments cover ing a period of two years were made at the Missouri station. It was the plan of the experiment to feed two lots of mules?the grain ration re EXCELLENT AS KAFIR TOPPER By Using Platform Described and Il lustrated Herewith Many Lame Backs May Be Avoided.

A guide of strap iron pushes the cane away from the front wheel. COTTONSEED MEAL FOR FEED Cattle Feeder Should Secure Supply for Winter Now?Price Almost Certain to Advance. Those who have cattle to feed this winter should buy their cottonseed meal now. There ought to be good money in feeding cattle this winter if cottonseed meal is purchased at present prices, provided one has si lage or other good roughage, says Progressive Farmer. Why cottonseed should be cheaper than usual with feeds and fertilizers?the only two purposes for which it is used?higher is one of the things beyond our un derstanding, but so long as it is sell ing for $22 to $25 a tou in the Missis sippi valley and, we are told, for $20 or less in Texas, the cattle feeder should secure his supply; for the prices will go up as certain as other feeds remain high-priccd. Serious Tobacco Disease. The root-rot of tobacco is one of the most serious diseases of tobacco in the seed bed and in the field. It 1b characterized by the decay and loss of the root system, resulting in a stunting of the plants. Complete control of the disease is difficult Sterilizing the seed beds and planting on new soils is recommended. Study of Poultry. Study your poultry. There !s lots Df Individuality about them, and in their feeding, selection of roosting place, nest and other ways they show preferences which it often pays to humor. Ration for Growing Animals. Oats is one of the best grains ob tainable for starting lambs on feed. It also makes an excellent ration for growing animals and for maintain ing keen appetites with stock kept on fefjd for a long period. Grain for Poultry. While wheat and oats are the best =crain for breeding or laying poultry, .vith the coming of cold weather a moderate increase In the corn ration vill pay, and especially if given at >&st feed of the day. fH FEED FOR MULES celved .by one being oats while corn alone should be given to the other The roughage consisted of mixed clover and timothy hay. By this meth od, data has been collected which makes possible the following compari son of the two rations for mules: Mules receiving corn and hay main tained good health and appetites aB did the mules fed oats and hay. The mules which received corn and mixed hay maintained their weight slightly better than did those fed oats and mixed hay. The mules receiving corn and hay endured hard work in hot weather as well as did those getting oats and hay. No difference in spirit could be de tected in the different lots of mules. Mature mules required three per cent more grain and one and four tenths more hay to approximately maintain live weight when fed oats, and mixed hay than when fed corn and mixed hay. The mules receiving corn and mixed hay did six per cent more work when the number of hours is used as a basis, than did the mules which re ceived oats and hay. No abnormal effect coala bo no ticed in any of the mules receiving either ration. The mature mules in the two-year test were maintained 28 per cent more economically on a ration of corn and mixed timothy hay than on one con sisting of oats and mixed clover and timothy hay when corn is valued at 50 cents per bushel, oats at 40 cents per bushel and hay at $10 per ton. HOW TO GRADE COTTON SEED There Should Be Some Encourage ment Offered to the Farmer Who Tries to Keep Seed Clean. There is another important ques tion, and that is, you Bhould grade cdtton Beed, so. that there will be some encouragement to the farmer who takes care of his seed, and when ne Bens you a ion you gee a ion 01 good seed free from dirt.? Under present conditions, how can the gin ner who takes the dirt from the seed compete with the ginner who runs it back in them? You pay both the same price, while the man who runs the dirt out cannot possibly make aa good out-turn to his customer as the one who leaves It in. I am frank enough> to say that I do not under stand milling or crushing conditions sufficiently well to advocate any plan to change this, but I know there is some remedy and believe you should put it into effect.?George A. Holder ness, in address to North Carolina Cot tonseed Crushers' Association. Use Some Common Sense. In poultry feeding there are innu merable ways that may lead to suc cess. In fact, the combination of foodstuffs that can be made are al most without limit. Dut when mixing feeds, mix common sense with the other ingredients. rPrtr% hanxrxr 1 noHo mnlro hnllrv hnraofl * * With all stock discomfort always costs in extra feed. Now we ought to begin to feed the lamb liberally for the holiday mar ket. Get them off early. * The boys and girls ought to be in school. Every day they are out, is a distinct injustice to them.
