Then came the custom of carrying

EXTRACTING A HEADLEB8 NAIL.”
Very often old lumber -is used to
make repairs about the building, but if there are any nails in the boards they are almost-sure to be exactly where the board must be cut. Usu- ally the head is broken off and it is ulmc-st impossible to get the nail. out. To cut to one side leaves the board "ither too long or too short. The other day we saw a man get around the dilliculty ve-ry nicely, llc drove a. good nail in close to the broken one, then pulled it ont. The headless' bail was then loosened quite- easily and by means of a. pair of tweezers was extracted. Others may find this means to work satisfactorily the next time a nail is in the road of the- saw.

Have the stables been cleaned, dis-

Every loud of manure- drawn to the

Almc-st ally 'man with tools and
lumber can make a colony house for swine. -Such will be found il very handy thing on the farm.
There is now an excellent opportun-
ity to derive some revenue from our rough, yet good grazing land. The world-wide shortage ol' sheep emphas- ized in articles in this department should act as a suggestion to many. Farm flocks and small ranch flocks should result remuneratively to any with some knowledge- of sheep hub- bandry. _
A clean. dry barnyard has many
ldvantages over the \vet, miry kind too often seen. Put the manure in u compact pile, or haul it to the fields. Drain thc- barny-ard either with tile 1-r open ditches and if possible fill up the depressions with gravel. (You- crete is an excellent thing, but it‘is rather late now, on account of frost, to put it down.
FARMERS BUY AUTOS.
. it is said that sixty per cent. of the lntomobiles made in America last year were sold to farmers. Roughly il. million cars costing eight hundred million dollars, were purchased by Canadian and American farmers in the automobile year ending the 31st if July 1916. Manufacturers estimate that about the same percentage of' cars made this year will gc- to the farms, and as the number of cars made is expected to show an increase of about 25 per cent. over the output :-f 1916. the- money spent on this con- tinent by farmers for motor cars in, the automobile year of 1916-17 will come very close to a billion dc-liars.

|7165 HAVE BLIND STAGGERS.
Pigs are sometimes affected with
blind staggers caused by bad, stag nant blood, which is usually produced by top close confinement in ill»ventil~ ated, dirty pens.
Give them exercise in the open air
or in a dry, clean, well-ventilated pen with plenty of room. Throw a few pease of whole wheat into some straw or chaff on a clean floor and let them hunt for it. or a little silage .scattered over thc floor will be good. This will give them exercise and kee-p the blood circulating. ln case of an acute attack drag pig out into the open air and rub it vigorously with cloths or the hands to start the blood circulating, and give the follow- ing: For s pig 3 months old give 1 desertspoonful of epsom salts; for u pig 3 tc- 6 months old give 2 dessert- spoonsful. and for a pig 6 to 12 months old give 3 to 4.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT HOGS.
There is a kind of live stock, we
belle-ve, so much affected by panicky conditions as are hogs. It is evident that fewer swine than usual will he fed this winter and fewer sows will __be bred to furrow in the spring. There can he no doubt regarding the price of pork next spring and summer. lt has been pretty well prove-n by in- vestigation and practical farmers that s pound of grain can he accom- plished with about four pounds of meal. In many cases a pound c-I grain can be accomplished with less, but, unde~l"aver-age conditions. we are safe in' saying that four pounds of milifeeds or chop will prc-.iuce a pound of pork. _This being true, it_ appears that even with the present price c-f feed. hogs can still be fed at a. fair margin, when the farmer does not put too much value on his labor. lf prices are as attractive next summer, as conditions indicate they may be.~ it it likely that the msn who feeds hc-rs this wlnte-r may 're- ceive t good average return for his efforts.
Home -farmers make s practice of
wintering young pigs, without making any`stte1npt tc- finish them for spring delivery. They prefer to let them run a while on the gl-ass and finish them in warm weather. it appears that
cheaper 'gains result undeli summer conditions than in winter. t may be

HOW MUCH CAN A HEN EAT?
lil'-w much can sl hen ent, or how
much ought she to cut? is a lunch dis- cussed topic among certain clnsses of poultry keepers. Because a hcn's ap- petite varies, depending perhaps on the particular brand of weather, thc kind of houses she lives in alld her own physical cf.-ndition, which means laying, loafing, brooding, melting etc. uo irouclnd rule can be laid down. Health also has to do with the amount of food consumed, and there are no dc-ubt other factors that help to det- ermine whether a hen should eat more or less on any particular dny.
The records in the international
egg laying contest at Storrs, Ct.. seems to show quite conclusively that a he-u will consume from 40 to 45 pounds of grain in the course of a year. This means all average daily consumption of about _two ounces, or from 12 to 13 pounds per duy to each 100 hens. if it be assumed that the average grain mixture weighs .115 pounds to a quart. then eight quarts or u trifle more would be about the average grain ration for 100 hens each day. This is almost exactly the amount recommended by the Maine station that-suggests four quarts corn, two quarts wheat and two quarts oats daily for each 100 laying pullets.
ln the laying contest the grain ra-
tion consists of wheat an'd cracked corn only, equal parts hy`weight. The oats are fed in the mash. This sug- gestion regarding the amount of grain presupposes that tht' hens will have before them at all times an ample supply of dry mush ‘to which they can help themselves fret-ly.
lf permitted free access to thick
sour milk hens will consume just about twice as much by weight of this product us they ' do of grain. Trials at the indiana stntidh resulted in the consumption of 93 pounds of milk per year for each laying Leghorn pullet.
CHARCOAL SHOULD BE
F_ED TO POULTRY
No farmc-r should attempt to keep
poultry without feeding charcoal regu- larly. Charcoal can he made on the place at ‘the expense of very' little tlme. and is as important for the wel- fare of poultry' as are grit or oyster shell.
My method of burning charcoal is
_as t`oilows_A pit about four feet square-
and about eight inches deep is dug.
Of course, the pit can be made as large as one des res. in the bottom of the pit, 'light brush. cornstalks or anything that will make a quick fire, is placed and on_ top of this heavier brush or dry fire wood. The pile is top- ped with seve-rai layers of green wood, cut into lengths of two. or three feet.
when the pile is completely and neatly arrange-zi. pieces of old sheet iron roo - ing farr- placed on top and covered with dirt. _
The brush at the bottom of the pit
is than lighted in set-emi pilscen and
f el til th mass
allowed to burn re y un c- esems to be well sblaset, ytllep
le throwing off' dense clouds of smoke without any blnis showing the wood is charring properly, but where the smoke is light. ln,color. it is un indica- ton that the mass inside is blazins and more of` thef air shou.d be shut off._ Care should be exercised that too much of the air is not shut off for the fire will go out. The nms-3 should be kept smoking freely.
Charcoal is a blood puliliel' and
corrects the evil of overfcedlng and in- Judicious feeding, ltlis a good rem- edy for bowel trouble. it is peric-“.tl_v safe to keep cha-rcoal before the fowls all tho time. A-s charcoal has great absorbent powers for gases, it should be kept in`covered vessels. and only suiiicient for one dny's feeding should be kept in the hoppers il' the hoppers are filled, the char coal not immeliate- ly' consumed will soon become im-. pregnated withthe foul odors of the poultry- house- and will be unfit' and unsafe for use. When charcoal ia kept in open vessels. it should be heated before giving to the fowls.l-lent ing drives oft' the impurities anti nnaices it its good as when fresh.

The heavy horse is bound to weat`rle-r thc competition of automo- bile and tractor to fur better advant- ‘xge than is the light horsc. Of :ourse, some consideration must be paid to the light horse str-_ek of the :ountr_v. and this should bc improve,-.i, out. lor the farmer with land to worll 'ind loads to haul, weight is import- iut.

MANY HORSES HAVE DEFECTIVE EYESIGHT
Decctivc eyesight in horses ls u
very serious fnult. and to it cun be directly traced the cause oi innumer- able accidents. A blind horse ls al- ways d'angcmus under the saddle' or ln single or double harness. A horse with a/"defecti-ve vision that distorts ordinary objects met with on the road is even more objectionable. in some respects, to ride or drive' than thc horse that is totally blind. Shying in many instances is the result of poor eyesight.
The buyer or' owner who is appre-
hensive regarding a horse's eyes or eye may satisfy himself whether k not disease exists by following direc- tions here glven for the examination of the' eye: With the thumb ami' fore- flnge-r gently part the eyelids, thus exposing to view the eye and' the muc- ous membrune linin the lids. The right hand should be used in manipulating the lids of the _left e'yc. and the left hand for the right eye, the finger 'in
fialch case being pressed on the upper
( . When it is necessary to examine the
inner side of eyelid's more minutely, draw upper limi' down by the eyelashes with one h-and and invert it over the tip of the' iorefinger of the other hand.
Mnny forms of pronounced cyc dis-
ease can be discovered in ordinary light. but where it is necessary to ex- amine the interior of the eye for incl- pent tl'lse.'.\sc or slight defects a more careful examination is necessary,
The inte-rim' of the eye cannot be
satisfactorily examined ln the sun- shine or unrizir it clear sky; grave de- fects can he seen under such circum- stances. but for careful examination of the eyes thc- horse should be taken where all light from above is. shut oil' where it fall on the eye from the front and side. The examiner stand- ing in front will see the reflective rays” from the cornea, the front of the lens and the back.- and can detect any cloudiners or opacity. * ~ .The most satisfactory examination --in he mat',o.ln u dex-‘.t room by illum ‘n-nf'l~_ the nr.-f-. w'-‘,i\`a lamp or smut' '~~'-'r ll-_bf vim-/-tl fo-war ' and' out ‘ fi f fl i' it ab

WHEN YOUR TEAM PULLS UNEV
ENLY. -
It a team pulls uncvenly. does tht
horse ahead or the horse behind pull the greater amount of the load? .
A L. Ewing, of the Minnesota Stutt-
Cellegc says.
“We dcmonstrate to our classes lr
physics that with one type of evenor a type in common uso. with clevls pins on n line hack cf thc draft pin the horse that is ahead has the ful vantage. We use for this purpost the event;-r itself or for convenience a pattern made of a one»hslf inch board of the exact dimensions of an evener. '
"The board is suspended from thr-
draft-pin hole where it balances hori zcntaliy. Equal weights are now sus pended from the clevis-pin holes when it is found to balance so lon; as the evener is horizontal, showing that it is nn equalizer if thc horses are together. lt will not, however. bai- ance in an oblique pc-sition, but re quircs a considerable added weight at upper emi to hold it in any partl- cular position representing one horse allescl of the Aother. thus demonstrat- ing that the horse that, is behind- pulls mc-re than his half of the load.
"The effectllui lcver arm of the hind
horse becomes shorter than that' of the head horse as he is brought near the line of draft.
“it would, however, be a mistake tr
i1ssums that the head horse always | and necessarily had the advontage. as with one type of eveuer he actually pulls the most, and with u third typ( there is no difference in the draft ol the two horses, even though one- is ahead.
