Effective Trap Neat.
A very simple trap nest is thus de
scribed by Orange Judd Farmer : One
side and part of the top on one com
partment Is removed to show the inte
rior construction. Each compartment
should be 13 inches wide, 15 Inches
high and 30 Inches deep, while the nest
box Is 12 inches square and 3 Inches
deep. Kvery poultry raiser knows the
value of a trap nest, so it is not nec
essary to enter into its utility. Any
number of them may be constructed
sldo by side, and all equipped in the
same manner. The doorway at the
front is 10 Inches wide and 12 Inches
high, the door la 12 inches square and
Is caught at one corner with a screw.
When it Is set the doorway Is open, but
when the hen has sprung It the door
falls and the opposite end to the screw
catches In an iron staple which pre
vents It from being moved by the cap
tive hen.
The top of the nests are provided
with a few slats at the forward end
for light and ventilation, and each
compartment has a trapdoor hinged at
SEBVICEABLE TRAP REST.
the top so the hen can be removed from
the nest. The nest box is provided
witb two screws at each side Just for
ward from the middle. These rest on
blocks with a V-shaped top.
The nest Is balanced so the weight
Of a hen when she rteps on the front
edge will tip It down, thereby releas
ing the wire end that holds the door
and allows It to falL Two pieces of
wire are used. One Is made fast to a
crew eye driven in the front edge of
the box and extends up nearly to the
under Ride of the top, where a piece of
card Is tied to it. The cord passes
through a screw eye and toward the
front of tht boi, where, four inches
from the eye, it is tied to the longer
piece of wire that extonds to the door.
The wire and string are adjusted so
the front end of the wire passing
through a hole In the board will pro
ject a quarter of an Inch and support
the door. When the hen steps on the
box and drags the wire down that pulls
the long wire In and the door drops.
Ey opening the trap door at the top It
Is easy to set the doot again.
How to Throw a Steer. .
Here Is a very simple but sure way
to throw a large or small steer. Use
rope, three-quarter Inch, about 25 feet
long, Is best passing one end of the
rope around the steer, and tying In a
hard knot; pass the rope back and
around the body agtfin In front of the
hips, passing the end of the rope under
the rope, so as to form a draw, extend
ing the end of the ropo straight behind

the steer. By pulling 100 pounds on
the end of the rope, a 1,000-pound steer
can be thrown with ease.
Farm Notes.
Be slow to condemn an old sow that
does good work.
More money Is lost by feeding hogs
too long than by selling too early.
If you desire to hit the bull's eye
aim high and In doing so load so as to
obtain more bushels from fewer acres.
When clover fields are Infected with
the root borer, allowing them to stand
but two years will help to subjugate
the pest In any locality.
Potato scab can be largely prevented
by submerging the seed for two hours
or more In a formalin solution made
by dissolving one pint of formaldehyde
in thirty gallons of water.
Every farmer should have his seed
corn testing patch, on which competing
selections from his own fields and va
rieties secured elsewhere may be sub
jected to a careful field test under his
wn era.
For making good grafting wax melt
together four parts resin (by weight) ;
two parte beeswax ; one part tallow.
In the spring the muscles of a horse

Breaking- a Stall Kicker.
The chronic stable kicker, aside
from being a nuisance, causes much
damage and often injures other ani
mals. To break him of the habjt, fill
a grain sack half full 'of sand and
swing from ceiling with rope, so sack
will hang where heels or horse will
have good play upon it Tie him firmly
in the stall with a heavy, stout rope.
At the first kick the bag will swing
away, often as high as the celling, If
kicked squarely. It will then return
and give him as good as be sent This
will lead to a general mixup between
the horse and sandbag, and the sack
of sand will hold its own, returning all
he sends, with considerable Interest
He will soon find that he is up against
a losing proposition, and, learning this,
will be thoroughly cowed. Leave the
sack behind him for a week or more
and then remove. If be should at any
time show any tendency to return to
his old habit of kicking, arrange the
sack as before and the cure will be
final. Successful Farming.
Water for Sheep.
The necessity of a continual water
supply for sheep Is a much controvert
ed point, says Farm and Live Stock
Journal. We are unable to find any
definite and decisive data on the ques
tion and think it would make a good
topic for our experiment stations.
There are many farmers who would
like to know whether the pasturing of
sheep at any or all seasons of the year
In a lot where water is not accessible
Is a losing practice. We believe that
experiments would prove that it Is, as
we can see no reason why they are so
different from other stock as not to re
pay attention to their water supply.

Don't Neglect the Stablea.
Many dairymen who are Inclined to
be exceedingly cleanly about the sta
bles during the winter give them lit
tle care during the summer when the
cows are largely milked In the pasture,
a plan of milking many follow. There
are days and nights during the summer
when the cows must be housed and the
milking done in the stables, hence If
they have been neglected the milk Is
surely to absorb any undesirable odor
that may exist
We find it an excellent plan to clean
the stables thoroughly just as soon as
the cows are turned out to grass, and
this thoroughness consists In washing
the walls with a strong solution of car
bolic acid, then going over them thor
ughly with whitewash. In this man
ner all germs and odors are destroyed.
This Is by no means all, for each week
the stables are thoroughly purified, so
that there will be no possible odor to
spoil the milk. Exchange.
Dnartog Apple Treea.
Apple trees are dwarfed by grafting
them on trees of the same general type
but of smaller stature. There are two
stocks In general use In Europe and
In this country. These are Paradise
and Doucln. Paradise produces a fully
dwarfed apple tree of very small size.
The Doucln is a tree of intermediate
size, and therefore, does not dwarf
the stock so emphatically as the Para
dise. Carrots and Paranlpa.
An excellent mode of planting carrot
and parsnip seed is to drop the seed In
small quantity, six inches apart In the
rows, Instead of scattering the seed in
the row. By this method the plants
will come up In stools, and can be
thinned out of too thick, whereas if the
seed is scattered tho plants may come
up straggling, as the seed does not ger
minate very easily under adverse condi
tions. Extra plants taken from the
rows may be planted elsewhere. The
seed drills do the work well In that
respect.

AN DISEASES
There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burn
ing skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those
wno are afflictea witn stun troubles nnd the symptoms appear- C A I T p U r II M
ing and know that they will be tormented through the hot " n n L U III.
summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced
to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with exter
nal applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood.
The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover
up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns.
All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain
the different parts. One portion is used for

one for bone, still another for fat, and so on.
After these different properties are ex
tracted from the food there still remains a
portion that is useless, or waste matter,
which is intended to be disposed of through
the natural channels of bodily waste, the
Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season
of the year, however, these organs become
torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in
the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and
acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition,
and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne,
Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description.
EOZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from
which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It
is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be
afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid
in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition
and giving it a leathery appearance. AGNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of
pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appear
ance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body.
One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM,, It discharges a watery fluid, fornv
ing sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected,
and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp.
These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause burning acids and humors in
the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best
treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made en
tirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing
effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being
blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood.
It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter.
