Kentucky Lady Got Well

R. F. D. 6, Owensboro. Ky.
"My stepmother nad taken
Cardui when she was in my same

around among my friends about ft

were taking it at that time.
"They all told me how good it
was, so I told myhusband to get me
a bottle to try. That nieht he came
home with a bottle of Cardui...
"I had a ... which left me in a
very serious condition. I had been
in bed eight weeks and was unable
to move Fn bed without help.
"By the time I had taken half a

TO PRODUCE CLEAN
MILK IN SUMMER
During summer months, many dairy
men lose considerable money because
of milk souring so that It cannot be
sold as sweet milk but must be mude
Into butter or used In other ways.
"Milk-Is nature's most perfect food,"
says John A. Arey, dairy extension
spi/dallst for {he North Carolina
State College of Agriculture,
every person connected with Its bun
dling should be clean In his methods.
There arc few living germs or organ
isms In milk when it Is freshly drawn
frdiu healthy cows and the secret of
producing clean milk Is to keep all
dirt and bacteria from getting Into It
while handling and then to cool the
milk Immediately."
Mr. Arey states 'that expensive
equipment Ur'not necessary to produce
clean milk. The stable should be
clean and well lighted. Since most of
the dirt comes from the body of the
cow, she should be kept clean. So
should the hands of the milkers. All
containers used In handling the fluid
should be of metal and the corners
tilled with solder so'that no .crevlce Is
left for milk to lodge nnd sodr. These
contnlners should he first rinsed, then
scrubbed with a good washing powder,
after which another washing In boil
ing water Should be given.
The milk should be -cooled Immedi
ately after milking, states Mr. Arey.
Inexpensive cooling uppnratus may l>e
rigged up by using the spring or well
water to which Ice has been added.
Those dairymen who ship their milk
to u wholesale market should use a
felt Jacket to keep the milk cool while
In transit. If the Jacket cannot be
had, a good burlap bag soaked In
water will fill the need.
"If such simple precautions as these
are observed," says Mr. Arey, "there
Is no reason why clean milk, free
from bacteria muy not be produced
and sold."
Get Best Returns From
Cows in Summer Season
"Milk cows," says John Arey, ex
tension dairy specialist for the North
Carolina State college, "suffer from
heat Just about as much as people and
they neod shade (luring the hot part
of the day. If the dairy Is located
near the city where there Is not much
natural 'shade, the cows ought to be
stahffd during the heat of the day."
Mr. Arey states also that to get the
best returns from the cows during
this season, flies should bt kept from
them. This means that the bars
should be screened and a fly repollant
used.
The first step, though. In getting
rid of flies ia to clean up about the
place. All stables and manure pits
need to be cleaned at least once each
week and. If practical, It Is best to
huul the manure from the barn direct
ly to the field. Litter and garbage
should also be hauled away. Sope
tlntes
rid of the flies, poisons, traj# and
sprays cotitd well be used to combat
thetn.
Illgh prices for bsy and feedstuff*
reduce the profits from dairying and
the wise dairyman*, Mr. Arey states,
will plant some quick-growing crops
to provide additional feed. Those who,
have silos are urged to fill them full
this summer because by feeding extrs
amounts bf silage the amount of hay
needed may be reduced.
Extra Feed for Cows.
Drjr cows or heifers hred to cat re
In the full are often left on pasture
too late and they culve In |>oor condi
tion/ Many of the best dairymen feel
that extra feed given a cow for a
month or six weeka before calvlag
will do as pinch or mor«j good than
the same feed given after ralvlng. A
row should have considerable stored
up food reserve In her body Ifjtfie is
going to be able to stand np under
heavy milk production.

IMPROVE METHODS
FOR RANGE SHEEP
Do yon remember when the only In
vestment a sheep man had was In his
camp outflj and In his sheep? Such a
business could be- managed to yield a
profit by methods which would spell
ruin tt owned by the range sheep man
today.
The sheep men of today must own
or lease land to stay In the business.
This land must be purchased or leased
to maintain watering places, to con
trol and be assured of sufficient
range, or produce feed for feeding. It
U even necessary to own Improved
ranch property before a permit will be
granted npon the national forests. In
vestments have also been made In dip
ping vats, warehouses, storehouses,
lambing sheds and the like. All of,
these mean Increased capitalization.
A man with 800 to 1,000 breeding ewes
can easily have an Investment In his
range business of $12,000 to $14,000.
Such an Investment requires mana
gerial ability, and the adoption of
modern and approved methods of
range sheep management, which was
not needed In the old days. ««
Aside from an Increase In capitali
zation, there has been an increase in
the operating expenses." The sheep
have been crowded out of the~land
which formerly afforded range, and
now they must be fed hay during tlie
winter. Labor charged have advanced,
due to advances In the wage scale
and also because the flocks have de
creased In size.
In order to realize a profit from the
business It Is necessary to lncreuse
the per cent of lambs dropped. A
great loss of lambs is suffered ffom
dropping to docking time. A range
sheep man on the Colorado National
forest had 20 per cent lamb loss dur
lr.s til)"*. lie plans a lambing
shed to reduce this lo.su. Many range
sheep men have found that the saving
In lambs soon pays for the cost of tjie

Hogs Require Shade and
Clean Water in Summer
Shade and clean water during the
summer months are essential to suc
cessful pork production. All kinds of
hogs must have shade. Too much di
rect sunlight and heat lft a frequent
cause of hogs failing to thrive and la
often the cause of hogs dying. Dur
ing July and August small pigs often
blister on the backs and about the
ears which causes, In some cases, se
vere infections and bad spres.
Expensive shelter Is not necessary.
Shade trees provide ample protection,
Where no trees exist temporary shad#
npy be provided by the covering of ft
frame with canvaa, under which the
hogs may go for protection. Some pro
ducers build individual hoghouses
with sides that may be lifted to pro
vide an increased amount of shade
during the summer months. This plan
furnishes shade tfff ftogg where only

The shipments began on March 20
and closed on June 20. During that
time, through the efforts of the home
and farm demonstration agents' of
State college, the teachers of agricul
ture In the high schools and the mar
keting specialists, 464,285 pounds of
poultry and B,JBi pases of eggs were
shipped. In addition to the eggs
shipped a total of 3,530 oases were
stored to a cold storage plant In Wil

the winter months.
Mr. Lewis says: "When we be

JTprnqprs fflklng part In this move

Prevention of Disease «
• Most Profitable Plan
When one goes Into a chicken
bouse and hears the birds singing, It
la a pleasant contrast to the appear
ante of a flock that Is droopy, with
pale tombs and indicating a general
unhealthy condition. The difference
In the majority of cases Is not flue to
one producer curing the disease and
the pthef pot cubing fy, but rather to
the fact that one breeder prevents
the trouble that is affecting (he other
person'* flock.
Mpst eases of roup and similar con
tagious diseases are tbe result of the
disease being brought to the farm with
new fowls which were not Isolated
until they had been proved to be
healthy. Sometimes the disease comes
from an outbreak of a previous at
