All wise people agree that a home in the 
country is better than a home in the city. 
But some country homes miss one great com¬

For nearly a hundred years city people 
have been keeping their homes bright and 
cheerful by using gaslight. You can now have 
this greatest of all city comforts in your 
country home—because, light for light, it is 
cheaper than kerosene if you use the

The money-saving advantages of a slate 
roof mast be apparent to every man who 
looks the question squarely in the face. 
No roofing material except slate can 
give the satisfying wear that a slate roof 
gives. No material is so safe and sanitary 
—for slate is rock, and solid rock_ cannot 
burn and does not rot and retain filth. 
A slate roof reduces your insurance rate and 
insures healthful cistern water. 
It cannot wear, warp, decay, rust and shrink; 
it does not hold snow or ice.

CORNSTALKS FOR HORSES. 
Last Winter we fed our four horses corn¬ 
stalks cut one inch and sprinkled with feed 
molasses, and cut down our grain bill nearly 
one-half. The horses came through the 
Winter in better shape than for three years 
previous, but we never worked hard in 
Winter. This year we shall work them 
harder and feed more molasses. 
Connecticut. farview farm. 
We have wintered horses 011 cornstalks 
for some years. The secret is to have 
the stalks clean and bright and to feed 
some laxative food with them. Mouldy 
stalks fed with corn grain will take the 
life out of a horse. Bran, linseed meal 
or molasses are all good. A crop of 
carrots makes a fine feed with dry stalks. 
Many farmers begin feeding the stalks 
too late in the Winter. We began last 
year late in October, for the dry Fall 
has put them in fine shape. 
SUNFLOWERS IN THE SILO, 
On page 1179 Mr. Wilcox speaks of grow¬ 
ing corn and sunflowers together for silage. 
Will he tell us what sort of silage this 
combination makes? g. m. 
I have found this silage very satis¬ 
factory. The top of the silo was filled 
with clear corn, and having fed that 
off down to that containing the sun¬ 
flowers, I find the cows are giving just as 
much milk as they did on the clear 
corn silage. I cannot say that it is 
any better, but as we quite often do 
not have a good corn season; and sun¬ 
flowers will grow under adverse con¬ 
ditions, I thought I would try it. I 
shall put them in next year again. I 
would say that my cows freshen in 
Spring, so I do not get such a large 
quantity of milk now. m. h. wilcox. 
FEEDING COLLIES. 
Will you advise the best way to feed 
molasses to dogs (collies) ? Their hair 
falls out without apparent cause before it 
has fully grown. I have been feeding with 
a prepared food which is mostly cereal in 
its make-up and I think it is too heating., 
I have been told that molasses is good to 
produce a rich coat. Do you know of any¬ 
thing better? Dogs are in good health 
otherwise. J. 1 . g. 
I.oug Island. 
The cereal food referred to probably con¬ 
tains too much cornmeal, which is over¬ 
heating and too fattening. it is apt to 
strip collies of hair if fed liberally. We 
have never fed black strap molasses to 
collies, but there should be no objection 
to it as a sweetener of other suitable food. 
It is quickly and easily digested and tends 
to slightly open the bowels and so would 
lead to improvement of the coat. To en¬ 
courage a heavy coat the dogs should be 
out of doors as much as possible. Cod¬ 
dling collies in hot quarters is injurious; 
in fact it is injurious to any dog. Vege¬ 
table soup made with beef bones and 
thickened with red dog flour will prove 
suitable food, and in addition would allow 
some parboiled meat and parboiled liver 
several times a week in addition to allow¬ 
ing large raw beef bones to chew. Meat 
scrap is also used by dog fanciers. In dog 
feeding on a large scale horse meat is 
much used and is admirable food, being 
lean and free from grease. In feeding 
molasses begin with a tablespoonful twice 
daily in food and gradually increase 
amount, but watch that it docs not cause 
scouring. Tn fitting dogs emulsion of cod 
liver oil also is excellent for stimulating 
health of coat and bringing out the feather 
and frill in collies. a. s. a. 
Lice on Sow. 
I have a sow infested with lice. I am 
afraid they will get on the cattle and 
horses. My cows have been near her, hut 
will keep them away now. What is the 
easiest and quickest way to get rid of the 
torments? c. s. 
New York. 
Hog lice do not infest cattle or horses. 
To get rid of them apply freely along spine 
a mixture of equal parts of kerosene and 
machine oil by means of an oil can; or 
apply it to all parts of the body by rub¬ 
bing in with a rag or cotton waste. Repeat 
the application in 10 days. Irritating ap¬ 
plications, such as undiluted kerosene, can¬ 
not safely be used ou sows in pig, as aboi’r 
tion may follow their use. A two per cent 
solution of coal tar dip, made creamy with 
flowers of sulphur, is also effective for rid¬ 
ding hogs of lice. It is necessary to clean 
up, disinfect and whitewash the stables 
and pens and to supply fresh, clean bed¬ 
ding at all times. Lice are most common 
and troublesome in hot, dirty, damp, badly 
ventilated, dark stables. Such places are 
an abomination for any kind of animal.

Don’t Work for Nothing. 
We have often wondered why it is 
that some implement dealers persuade 
the farmer to purchase implements of 
inferior quality. There is only one 
logical reason for this, and that is that 
the dealer makes a larger profit on the 
inferior article. It is of vital importance 
to purchase a grain drill of known merit. 
Just think for a moment what a poor 
drill can do for the farmer. It will put 
in his crop in such poor shape as to in¬ 
vite failure, and thereby lessens his profits 
In short he virtually works for nothing. 
Buy a grain drill of a well known make 
—a drill that will do your work right 
—a drill that will sow all known seeds 
and grasses and that will successfully 
handle all brands of commercial fertiliz¬ 
ers, no matter how difficult to sow, and 
by all means get a drill that will enable 
you to reseed sod land in the right way. 
We have in mind the Farmers’ Favorite, 
made by The American Seeding-Machine 
Co., Incorporated, Springfield, Ohio, and 
we advise our readers to write to them 
for their Farmers’ Favorite catalogue; 
also go to your local dealer and ask to 
see this drill. It pays to own a good 
grain drill. If you want a good crop 
the way to get it is to plant it right. 
When you put in your seed any old 
time, and in any old way, you shake 
hands with that enemy of all mankind—

I WANT FAIR PLAY. 
i For 45 years I have fought all forms 
i of trust combinations, have kept my 
prices down where every farmer could 
buy a first class scale at a fair price 
, and have protected the dealer. Now 
the implement dealers largely sub¬ 
sidized by the trusts say that if I sell 
my scales to a farmer they won’t let me 
, „ , sell to any dealer. All right. I am 
ready for tho fight. Hereafter my price is ’he same to all 
Money talks and any responsible man can buy my scales 
on approval to be paid for on agreed terms at dealt; s 
price. Money talks and your request on a postal card will 
bring you my offer on any kind of a scale that you mav 
want, big or little. Money talks and if you have the 
money I have the scales and the inclination to fight tho 
trust which says that no man can buy my scales without 
paying a profit to tho dealer. Write me and soon.
