In addition to its suc- culence, it Is very beneficial to the dI- gestion of the cows, being almost equal to June pasture. Foy a dry fodder and grain ration there is nothing that will beat clover and corn for dairy cows. When silage from well grown corn is freely fed it #8 not vecessary to have corn in the ration, but always use some clover hay fn addition to the sitnge. A prime consideration is clean, airy, comfortable' quarters. Cows must be contented if they are to turn in the larger profit. Thus providing for the animals' comfort should be given first © A CHAMPION GUERNSEY ob. ce. Next the feeding should, ibe considered. The animal should bg ied with rations that are suitable the production of an abundance of jmilk and at the same time will keep them in perfect bealth, without which ghey cannot produce goed milk nor a jprofitable quantity of it. The third wonsideration is the management of the cows. They should be handled \guletly and kind!y; otherwise they will @ot return a profit. Much depends on the character of the man in charge of Rbe berd. All these three couosiderations must fhe well looked to, and when the cows are cared for in this way they will, if they are the right kind. pay back their wwaer handsomely. Gropniing and Stabling Horses. The work botse stivuld be groomed daily and well.

Whe objection to leaving the grooming wutil morning is that the dried dqust prevents or hinders respiration during the entire night and the horse, like the juan, rests better when clean. It re- mains to be said, however, in favor of the morning grooming that it is usu- ally more thoroughly done, as the dorse is damp, especially in summer, until late in the night and cannot be well clelined until entirely dry. "The hotse. should have a good bed of straw, which should be shaken up morning and the droppings and straw thrown out.

Almost apy kind of mule seems to satisfy the farmer, althouglht when he takes a notion to have uw fine team he wili outbid the trader for it. There are sound Yeasons for this de- mand for mules. "The fool mule, so termed by comic writers, is not such a fool, after all. He knows how to take care of hiwseéif, and teaming compa- nies that have them will tell you that a span of mules will outlast two or three spans of horses at hard work. The mule will" neither overeat nor overdrink. When very tired he never drinks os eats until he rests. He fis not easily overworked; neither is te nervous, but conServes his energy by taking things quietly, He is immune to many diseases thyt gttack the horse. The demand for the mule is a just trib- ute to his usefulnéss and an argu- ment in favor of growing him oun the farm. The prices of mules vary some, but there is no farm animal more steady in price from year to year. The "cotton mules" are worth from $80 to $120, the "mine mule" brings $75 to $90, the "sugar and rice mules" run from $125 to $185, and the "levee" type, the "loggers" and the "advertis- ers" range from $173 to $250. In fact, all large mules when smooth and fat bring qver $200 each. The govern- ment mules, of course, yary in price as they vary fn size. A geod jack for breeding purposes will bring from three to five hundred dollars and if be is extra fancy may be worth as much as $700. The own- ers of jacks claim they make good money out of them.

The cold winters are bard on Jacks, but if a good. warm stall is pro- vided and the animal blanketed dur- ing the extreme cold uights and days he will come through fn good shape. Ground grain and plenty of good hay are what he needs for a diet. The mule {8 mach maligned by many who talk and write about bim. but there is uo animal that is easier to handle if treated kindly.

A cough may be Catarrhal with a dry tickling in the throat, it may be accompanied by partial stoppage of the nostrils and shortage of breath. Often there is a gagging In the throat, | and every cough tears and hurts. Coughs have a hundred different causes; yours may be due to any of the following: Inflamed Throat Bronchi Enlarged Tonsils Pneumonia Inflammation Crou Stomach Disorders Pleurisy The 'one remedy upon which physi- clans are relying to-day is Catarrh- ozone, It removes the cause of the cough, doesn't smother it. Catarrh- ozone is a soothing, healing, "direct cure," and cures the conditions that cause the cough. It's simply wonderful to' think how quickly. a bad throat er catarrh. can be cured with Catarrhozone. Its rich balsamic vapor Js carried along with the breath to the innermost recesses of the lungs, bronchial tubes, and chest, making it impossible for the germ of any disease to live. Thus soreness in the chest is at-once allevi- ated--phlegm Is loosened and ejected from the throat, old standing coughs are removed.

TRAINING COLLIE DOGS. Patience and Good Care Necessary For Best Results. Good collie dogs are becoming scarce, A good dog must be one that is well bred and carefully trained.
