I suffered much pain in M my back and sides. My J* limbs hurt, my knees would • tremble without apparent cause and I would have to sit down. am "1 was very nervous. ... I would have a tired, dull headache. "I had read so much about Cardui I asked my husband M J CARDUI | The Woman's Tonic * CThe, DAIRY COW MUST HAVE PLENTY SALT Dairy cows must hsve plenty of salt In order to thrive. Allow .them to have free access to salt or feed It to them In their feed. Many dairymen mix 0.5 to 1 pound of salt with each 100 pounds of concentrated mixture or grain mixture, and then supply suit in addition so the cows can take what they wisli. If trouble has been experienced from goiter or "big neck" In calves, this may be prevented In the future by giving potassium or sodium lodide to the cows during their gestation period. Where there is no trouble from goiter this treatment Is not needed. Milk' Is very rich In both calcium (lime) and phosphorus. Therefore, dairy cows must receive liberal sup piles of both these minerals to secure continued high production and to have a thrifty offspring. In the usual dairy rations there Is more danger of a lack of calcium than there Is of phos phorus. This Is because the protein-rich j feeds are also rich In phosphorus. This Includes wheat bran in particular and also wheat middlings, cottonseed meal and linseed meal. Gluten feed, germ oil meal (corn germ meal) or j brewers' grains and distillers' grains are not especially high In phosphorus. When 20 per cent or more of the J concentrate mixture or grain mixture consists of wheat bran, wheat mid dlings, Unseed . meal or cottonseed meal, the cows will get plenty of phos- j phorus. If less of these hlgh-phos- , phorus feeds sre fed. It Is best to sup ply additional phosphorus by adding bone meal, ground rock phosphate or acid phosphate. A large production of milk and j thrifty calves are an lmpoaslblllty If there is s lack of calcium in the : ration. The best way of furnishing plenty of lime la to grow and feed an abundance of alfslfs, clover or soy bean hay whenever It la posalble. All legume, bays are rich In lime. Far -thermo're, well-cured, green-colored legume hay contains a vltamlne which animals need to enable them to as almllate and use the calcium In their feed. if poor roughage must be used, such as hay from the grasses (not legumes), .corn stover' grown on acid anil, or straw, add 3 to 4 pounds' of ground limestone, wood aahea or dried marl to .each 100 pounds of concentrate or grain mixture. If there is.not 20 per cent of hlgb phosphorus feeds In the concentrate mixture (wheat bran, wheat middlings, Ila seed meal and cottonseed meal). It Is best to use S to 4 pounds of steamed bona meal, ground rock phosphste or add phosphate with each 100 pounds of tha, concentrate mixture. Instead of usitu the limestone, 'wood ashes or • man.

"The object of this organization i shall be to promote Interest in. thf breeding and Improvement of high class pure-bred live stock; to Instruct Its members In the prevention and 1 eradication of diseases peculiar to i such animals; to provide and estab- i llsh an for the same; | and to create In the members of the association an affection for farm an! j raals which will result In a fuller ap- i predatlon of farm life Ad pure-bred Uve stock." Another clause provides for a high standard of business deal ings and for the expulsion of members who are found to have misrepresented Animals or to Indulge in questionable practices. Care of Dairy Bull T|)e amount of grain to-feed to dairy bull varies from four to ten pounds, depending on the size and condition of the ntilmal and the kind of rough age. A grain mixture recommended as having been used with success con sists of three parts ground corn (by weight), two parts ground oats, two parts wheat bran, and one part Unseed meal. Another mixture suggested con sists of three parts ground onts, iwo parts wheat bran, one part ground torn or hurley, and one part linseed ' meal. J Breed Dairy Cows for Late Fall Freshening ' Dairymen who can successfully prac- , tlce a system whereby their cows will i freshen during the early winter months almost Invariably make a greater net return and find that the cow's pro- 1 ductlon holds up longar, as wben 1 spring grass comes the milk flow Is 1 stimulated after three or four months 1 of winter production. 1 In addition the price of butterfut Is j Increased during these months, which j ' la an added InducemAit for early win ter freshening. The fact that most farmers have more time at their disposal during the winter than during the growing sea son constitutes the third important reason for having the cows freshen du£pg the late fall and early winter months.

Calf Needs Colostrum All calves should hnve an opportu- . nlty to truck their dams at least two o* three times because, as dairymen well know, the first milk, or colostrum, la necessary for the new-born calf In j order to clean out its bowels.

There are many people who must give careful attention to economy of construction in selecting the plan for the new home while at the same time they require considerable space be cause of the size of the family to be accommodated. For these there Is nothing better than the story-and-a half house. Economy of construction Is a conspicuous characteristic of this type of dwelling becsuse of the large space It affords in proportion to the amount of wall construction required. Along with this economy a large amount of' comfort, convenience snd nttractiveness can be achieved in the atory-anda-half house If due regard Is given to the design sad method of construction. All these hare received attention in the house which is illus trated here with a most pleasing re sult.' - This house Is also s fine example at what proper sttentlon to the sur rounding grounds may mean to a,resi dence. Bach fsature has been consid ered snd sdded to make a complete and pleasing whole. The curved walk carries aa air of charming informality. At one nlde Is a decorative pergols which adds little to building cost but much to the appearance of the home. The painted wooden fence Is aar ar tistic touch, which Is greatly enhanced by the planting of flowering shrub bery beside It. At the windows boxes with bright flowers sdd color snd I shrubbery Is again used around the porch. The low foundation and root with i largo porch ptilars, carry aa air of solid permanence while wide arched fl replace chimney create a most inviting, homelike atmosphere. The front door opens directly from the porch into the big living room with tta fireplace and with windows on three sides. At oas side the living rooas opens Into a psssage leading to s bedroom and an extra bathroom.

STOCKS RAISING SHEEP ON DIVERSIFIED FARM There are thrve systems of pheep management In the Onlted States. ' 1. Running sheep In large bunds , on the mug:--. ~ 2. Kveplnc small flocks on the fhruis. 3. Fattening of rpnire sheep. T!ie second and tl.ird ore fnrm en terprise*. The third Is nften more or less a speculat/Ve business, but the second—keeping a flock .on the farm— nm.v well be considered n permanent j»art of diversified farm business. | Sheep At well Into a system of fartn ( lug because of the small Investment t required, the Qjifc'k returns, their hab ' Its of feeding, ttfeir benefit to tiie land and their "two-way" cash crop. It is usually considered that sheep can be purchased cheaply in compar ( Ison with other live stock. At present prices, however, an animijl unit of sheep (seven ewes), is not so much ►lower in price tlmn in other clnssef of live stock. The Investment for shelter need not be large, as expensive barns are not necessary. The fleece of the sheep will prevent It from suf fering from cold If It Is kept dry and given a windbreak. Proper fencing " will be the lnvestim at neces sary. .r. It should never be but a few months after sheep art? purchased until a cash crop may be sold, either wool or lambs, either one of which will return a considerable part of the purchase price. A .very large part, of the feed for sheep should / be roughage. This niukes it possible to utilize large quantities of grain that would other wise have very little vulue. They can also graze profitably on waste lands, fields, meadows, lanes and roadways. Sheep benefit the land upon which they i\.n. n 'wo by keeping down wtffcils and by increasing the fer tility. Their value to soil fertility lias been so generally recognized that they have hi i called the Oolden Hoof. They have an udvantage .'over othei common classes of farm live stock because their lighter weight does not pack the soil and also because their droppings are distributed to much better advantage.- , There Are Two Types of Runty Pigs, Says Peters W. H. t'eters, head of the division of animal husbandry at the Minnesota experiment station. University Farm, St. Paul, says there are two types of runty pigs—one the pig that Is born sinull and weak, of which there arc from one to three In a litter, and the other the pig that has become ruaty after getting a good start from its mother. The problem as to what to do wlta the runt of the fir.;t kind Is not dlffl cu't. If the litter is small, such a runt will probably do fairly well and make nearly as good a pig as the rest. If the litter large, It will probably be starved out. or it may be destroyed oo the ground that it will Miot pay to at tempt fo raise it "by hand.*" Itunts of the other type, however, are more serious. 'I heir presence in dicates that the owner has made some mistake in caring for his pigs, and instead of one pig's becoming runty, all are likely to be runty. The real * cause for the presence of such pigs la likely to be either lack of proper care and feed or else lack of attention to sanitation and health. Mr. Peters believes that if the farm er Is not able to determine the cause of lack >f thrift among pigs, he should appeal to county agricultural agent, and. If the county agent thinks it advisable, should call in a vet erinarian. He says that the farmer cannot afford to ignore untliriftiness among his pigs, as It removes any chance of profit. A normal healthy pig should weigh about 200 pounds when 200 days old. •00000000000000*0000000000% Live Stock Hints Uet the pastures ready for the .mower. • • • Dock lambs when they are about two .weeks of age.

Physicians everywhere Pfccommend it POULTRY • YKTS • PRODUCE MORE EGGS IN WINTER SEASON - v "T]he Badger state'* winter egg pro duction can be increased very notice' ably per hen by carrying out cer tain easily followed plans," says O. M. Johnson, superintendent of the Wis consin College of Agriculture poultry flocks. ."We have discovered," avers John son, "that pullets must be separated from the old hens to get the best pos sible egg production. If this policy is not carried out, the older hens will keep the pulleYs frota their feed and boss them around so that they do not have a chance to get full develop ment." By letting the pullets run with the older fowls, therp Is also a great dan ger of spreading diseases. This, too, is fatal to egg production. An under developed pullet or one that is back ward In her development should be sold, continues the poultryman. These pullets, as well as cockerels that are not to be kept for spring's breeding, do not as a rule pay their board. "Skim milk Is one of the greatest aids In egg production, and It should be used to the limit," says Johnson, "and each pallet should never be with out plenty of milk, either sour or sweet" Washing the dish thoroughly each time before feeding is a precau tion so as to guard from diseases. When hens have all the milk they can drink, very 1 little water Is needed. In fact It is best, advises the poultryman, that pullets do not have water if they have all the skim milk they can drink. The milk will furnish them with wa ter and at the same time the proteins and minerals the pullets need. Whole cabbages hung up in the scratching pens will furnish fine preen feed, but other also serve their purpose. Mapy poultrynien iiiako the mistake of throwing large amonnts of green stuffs on the floor where It gets moldy and dirty. For the masb which the pullets should have access to at all times, equal parts of bran middlings, yellow cornmea'l, oats and beef scraps or tankage has given the best results. If . the chickens have all trie milk they can drink, the meat scm>s and tankage can be cut to one-half part. "A dry, well ventilated hen house free from mites and lice is important. The litter in the scratch pens should not be too deep at' first as the pullets do not know how to scratch deep, pr else will not. Yellow cracked corn 1s at good a scratch feed as one needs, bat one-third of any other wholesome grain can also be added." Ration Recommended for Making of Winter Eggs The following ration for winter egg production recommended by the Mis-' soari College of Agriculture, satisfies •the needs of the hens and is econom ical and practical. Daring the past year It haa been fed on a number of farms with good results: Scratch grate—tea poands of shelled corn and poands of dry threshed oats. Dry mash—three poands of wheat bran, three poands of wheat shorts and one and one-half poands commercial meat Where milk is plentiful three gal law. of Aim milk or buttermilk fur nished each 100 hens dsily will take thnjptaee of meat scrap. Either mHk « mae for® of lean meat asast he JBWmi te ereiy ration f ar aacreaa ' 9 J PHI!, i ; | fuT winter egg production. Commer cial meat scrap can be obtained from most dealers in 100-pound sacks. One sack will supply protein needed by 100 hens for more than two months. Barley feed wheat may be used In stead of oats. Cornmeal or ground oats may be substituted for shorts In the mash. Alfalfa meal or clover leaves may take the place of the bran. A good grade of tankage may be used i instead of the meat scrap. In feeding this ration all grain should be fed In deep straw to compel the birds to ex ercise. The mash should be fed In self-feeding hoppers r>r troughs and a supply kept before the birds. In ad dition to this ration, hens should have an abundance of water, a supply of green flood and free access to sharp grit and crushed oyster shells or soft limestone grit. With eacly hatched pullets, housed comfortably, and fed this ration, winter eggs are assured. Plan of Line Breeding Line breeding can be done by using "the same ancestry or blood lines with careful selection that avoids the bad effects of Inbreeding. The shade of difference between line breeding and inbreeding is sometimes very faint Breeding the pullets of a mating back] to the sire, and one of the cockerels j back to the hen. is a strict line breed ing, which Is often practiced to estab lish Certain qualities In a strain. , .
