J. 11., Burr Oak, Iowa. —The year be- Mapleda

Carolina with more pluck and persever- * r

the very same kind of corn he speaks of exto ^ e< ^ 
last year, and made the closest selection coar6e S 
of the best ears as well as the most uni- ears -

would mark the stripes, bars, etc., of

Rust on Oats ; Experiments Wanted. 
W. B. K. J., Allentown, Pa. —In the 
spring of 1892 a farmer was persuaded 
to drill in with his oats about 100 
pounds of agricultural salt to the acre ; 
the result was so marked that neighbor¬ 
ing farmers thought it to be a different 
variety of oats. A narrow strip through 
the field was selected for the experiment; 
this and both sides of the strip were sown 
the same day; where the salt was ap¬ 
plied, it was free from rust, vigorous in 
growth, large heads, about eight days 
earlier in ripening, well filled grain, and 
about 10 inches taller than the untreated 
alongside. The oats on either side rusted 
badly. This being the first trial in my 
section, I would be thankful if any of 
your many readers will try the experi¬ 
ment on a small scale and report results 
to The R. N.-Y. 
Leghorns Must Exercise or Quit. 
C. H. Wyckoff. —I noticed the letters 
of Annie L. Jack and Mr. Hungerford in 
a recent Rural concerning the failure of 
their Leghorns to lay after February, 
though they had laid well up to that 
time during the fall and fore part of 
winter. My experience with them has 
been exactly contrary to theirs, as my 
Leghorns have invariably increased 
their egg production during February, 
although beginning to lay in the fall and 
laying well through December and Janu¬ 
ary, and the past winter has been no ex¬ 
ception in this respect. Since reading 
these letters I have taken the trouble to 
inquire of several parties in this vicinity 
who are keeping Leghorns, as to their 
success with them during the past win¬ 
ter, and in every case I have learned that 
while their laying was highly satisfac¬ 
tory during the fore part of winter, they 
increased their yield during February, 
which fully agrees with my own experi' 
ence. As I know nothing of the condi¬ 
tions surrounding the two flocks men¬ 
tioned, except what is stated in the let¬ 
ters, I find it difficult to explain the 
cause of their falling off in laying at a 
time when they should be increasing, 
but as neither mentioned anything about 
the means given to induce the hens to 
take exercise during their long, close 
confinement, I strongly suspect that that 
was the cause of the trouble, as I have 
learned that for hens to continue laying 
through such long, severe winters as the

As a dollar were the

poor little boy, sicken¬ 
ing and disgusting. They 
were especially severe 
on his legs, back of his 
ears and on his head. 
I gave him Hood’s Sar¬

the sores commenced to 
heal up; the scales came off and all over his 
body new and healthy flesh and skin formed. 
When he had taken two bottles of HOOD’S
