RYE FOR POULTRY. 
Would you advise feeding rye to poultry, 
say in proportion of one part rye to five 
parts of other grains? In comparison to 
other grains rye is relatively lower in price 
here. H. L. B. 
New York. 
It will not pay to feed whole rye with 
other grain. Poultry do not like rye. 
They will pick out the other grain and 
most of the rye will be spoiled. The 
best way is to grind rye and corn, two 
parts rye and three corn, and mix the 
meal with bran and scraps for a mash. 
report that my foreign trade is rapidly ex¬ 
tending. Recently I received a cablegram 
from Henrique Pastor & Son, of Tome, Chile, 
for two young bulls and one heifer. Senor 
Pastor will have two of the choicest sons 
of my famous “Aaggie Cornucopia Pauline 
Count,” and thus will the blood of the cham¬ 
pion cow, “Aaggie Cornucopia Pauline” be in¬ 
troduced and dlssiminated among the dairy 
herds of far-away Chile.

SOILING CROPS FOR HORSE AND 
LAND . 
Can you suggest some scheme of soiling for 
two horses and two cows, if such a thing is 
feasible for so small a lot of stock? Till¬ 
able land is scarce, as is good pasturage, 
manure also being a consideration. The land 
is rolling, not to say hilly, and is rather 
light in texture, much of it being subject to 
wash. N. 
Southern Indiana. 
Ans.— If it is possible to grow Alfalfa 
in that section we would depend on it 
largely for such crops. In connection 
with it we would grow corn, with rye or 
wheat seeded in it at the last cultivation. 
This grain may be cut while green and 
the land plowed again for corn. We 
would start this Fall by sowing rye and 
wheat. As early as possible in the Spring 
sow oats and peas. Follow this with sev¬ 
eral plantings of corn. Sow Japanese mil¬ 
let after the oats and peas, and barley 
after the earliest corn is cut. With a 
small patch of Alfalfa, corn following the 
rye and wheat, millet following oats and 
peas and all plowed land in rye and wheat 
at the end of the season, six acres should 
take care of the four head of stock. 
ANGORA GOATS FOR CLEAN LAND. 
On my farm, when I got it, was a very 
fertile strip of land, about four acres, with a 
brook running entire length. This land was 
covered with a thick growth of brush and 
soft maple trees. I had it cleared except 
here and there a tree, with the idea of mak¬ 
ing a pasture lot of it. but I find that the 
brush grows up thicker than ever, and must 
be cut each Summer, else the last state of 
this land will be far worse than the first. 
This brush cutting each Summer is only 
part way effective, and besides is quite an 
annual tax. I want an easier way. Some 
years ago while “out West” in Missouri I 
heard a good deal about people using Angora 
goats for work such as this, and I would like 
to know if they have been tried here in the 
East, and if so, with what success? Will 
barbed wire fence keep them in? Are there 
any for sale in States near here? It seems 
to me that if they are anything as good as 
was claimed in Missouri, they should be a 
grand thing in these bushy eastern States. 
Basking Ridge. N. J. r. a. e. 
“I had eczema on my hands for about 
eleven years. The hands cracked open in 
many places and bled. One of my fingers 
was so bad that the nail came. off. I had 
often heard of cures by the Cuticura 
Remedies, but had no confidence in them, 
as I had tried so many remedies, and they 
all had failed to cure me. I had seen 
three doctors, but got no relief. Finally 
we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box 
of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of 
Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I 
keep Cuticura Soap all the time for 
my hands, but the one cake of Cuticura 
Soap and half a box of Cuticura Oint¬ 
ment cured them. It is surely a blessing 
for me to have my hands well; and rec¬ 
ommend them to all suffering with ec¬ 
zema. Mrs. Eliza A. Wiley, R. F. D. No.

MONEY SAVED 
You should send to the Department of 
Agriculture at Washington, D. C., for a 
copy of “The Angora Goat”—a pamphlet 
which answers most of your questions. 
The goats do not seem to have become 
popular in the East. On the Pacific Coast 
and in some parts of the Middle West 
they are well liked, but it would prob¬ 
ably be difficult to buy a fair-sized herd 
at a fair price. They are very successful 
in clearing land of brush, but we think 
a flock of good sheep will pay you better.
