During the Change o f Lire I had the u sual d is t r e s s in g s y m p to m s — hot flashes, insomnia, etc., — and I am plei pleased to te s tify to the wonderful re- re sults I obtained from the V egetab le Compound.

Snow an Effective Substitute for Ice In some foreign countries, where nutural difficulties have stimulated human inventiveness, it is quite usual for snow to be collected during tlie coldest part of the winter and buried well-pressed down in specially dug pits. So intensely cold do these blocks of compressed snow become un der this treatment that after a few hours they freeze Into solid lumps of ice, which keep almost indefinitely and can be dug up when required, says the Detroit News. Especially in very hot countries these pits are frequently situated on mountains. Macedonia is one o f the countries which adopted this method of insuring an adequate supply o f ice during the summer. It is a remark able fact that an Ice supply laid down in this way at the beginning of the winter will last right up to the end of a summer consisting of many months of almost unbearable heat.

L IV E STOCK TO INSURE CROP OF System of Marketing VIGOROUS LAMBS Perfect Dressed Poultry With Breeding ewes which are In good Very Little Delay. condition in the fall need little or no grain in winter until about a month before lambing. If given all the bright legume hay they will eat with an al lowance of silage or roots In addition, writes Dorsey McAtee in the Prairie Farmer. At this time or earlier, if they are not In thrifty, vigorous condi tion, they should be given a limited amount of concentrates up to one-hall pound per head with roughage. The best roughages for ewes are the legume hays— clover and alfalfa— which they like and are rich In pro tein, and help ward off constipation, a serious danger of the ewe. Other roughages useful to feed with legume hay are bright corn fodder and oat straw which has some hay in it. Tim othy hay Is too constipating for ewes. To insure a crop of strong, healthy lambs, exercise for the ewes is essen tial. They should have access to a dry, sunny yard, well protected from wind and storm, and on all fair days should be forced to exercise by scat tering roughage over a nearby field. When the snow is deep, paths should be broken out with snow plow or stone boat. On stormy days the sheep should remain Indoors. To avoid udder troubles, ewes should be given but little grain for two or three days after lambing, and the al lowance gradually Increased with the demand for more nil Ik by the lamb. With good roughage, not over two pounds of grain per ewe daily is nec- »ssary. After being turned to pasture the ewes need no additional feed, if grazing Is good. In about 147 days or five months after the ewes are bred the Iambs may be expected. It is wise to be close at band during lambing time to assist the ewes or any weak lambs. Fens should be provided for the ewes and their newly born lambs. Here each ewe and her young may remain for a couple of days until they are wonted to each other and the lambs are strong enough to look out for themselves among the flock. Corn Stover Silage Is Good for Winter Feed The custom of raking up and burn ing corn stalks Is considered a huge waste. While somewhat depending upon local conditions and the feed supplies, the destruction of corn sto ver is rightly regarded as a loss. Corn stover, plowed under, has a the oretical value in fertility of about $2 a ton, but this can hardly be figured on the acre basis of tonnage grown because stalks are bard to handle In plowing under. The feed value Is far more than $2 a ton. Feeding tests have shown that corn stover silage— made from the dry stalks by the addition of water— has a value of about two-thirds that of corn silage for wintering beef breed ing cows, and probably Is worth GO per cent ns much as corn silage for feeding dairy cows. By corn stover we mean, of course, cured shock corn minus the ears. A considerable per centage of the feeding value of a crop of corn Is located In the stalks and leaves. In Trials at four northern ex periment stations the mature ears weighed 4,415 pounds an acre, while the stover weighed 3,838 pounds an acre. About 25 per cent of the diges tible crude protein of the corn crop Is in the stover and abont 37 per cent of the total digestible nutrients. By destroying the stover we actu ally throw away a good portion of labor nnd expense, to say nothing of the soil fertility elements going Into the make-up of the corn crop.
