With the peak of farm accidents soon to be here in the rush season and the busy summer months, this is a good time for farm folks to check up on first aid treatment. Knowing what to do until a doctor can be reached wfil go far toward cutting down the toll of farm accidents. Farm folks should check up on what to do when: A barefooted child steps on a rusty nail, broken glass or other sharp object. A child contacts poison ivy or poison oak. Somebody becomes overcome by sunstroke or sunburn. A child is burned by firecrackers, an injury which may result in tetanus unless taken care of promptly. A child is bitten by a rabid dog. A child has gone swimming too soon after eating and therefore is attacked by cramps or acute indigestion. A child receives small cuts and scratches while playing about the farm. A good first aid kit which can be managed in any home will contain a good book on first aid to the injured; a small drinking glass; two gauze bandages which are 2 inches by 10 yards; two gauze bandages, 1 inch by 10 yards; one elastic bandage, 2 inches by standard; one package of absorbent cotone roll ton; one box of band-aiof adhesive plaster, 2 inches by 5 yards; one package sterilized gauze of 5 yards; one triangular bandage'; six sterilized gauze pads; one tourniquet made of a handkerchief or wide muslin; safety pins; small scissors; tongue depressors; bar of soap, ammonia; camphor, iodine, and mercurochrome. all-cott- on d; Proso Is Recommended as a Feed for Poultry Plan for a patch of proso this year for the poultry. Proso is also known as hog millet, broom corn millet and Russian Cvheat. It is an enormous yielder and matures a crop in a very short time ; our plantings in July were ready to harvest in less than sixty days, states a correspondent in Wallaces Farmer. It grows more rapidly, stands a lot of hot, dry weather, and matures more quickly than other grains; reaches a height of three to Jour feet, stools and branches, making twelve to twenty heads instead of one, one head having as many as 1,185 grains by actual count. That is why it is an enormous yielder up to sixty or seventy bushels per acre. Proso makes extra fine poultry feed, fully the equal of wheat. It is also an excellent hog feed. It may be fed either as clean grain or in bundle form, as the kernels are readily scratched out of the heads.

The acute attack of In Mickeys Place mastitis probably is best treated with hot applications, or, if necessary, a suspensory bandage. Most essential, however, is the prevention of the disease. It is contagious, and infected animals are dangerous to the rest of the herd. Animals infected with mastitis should be segregated at one end of the barn and milked last. The hands of the milker should be carefully cleaned and disinfected following the milking of each animal. Platforms on which the animals stand should also be disinfected. C. P.

They are held in the grooves by slender wedges glued into place. With shrinkage, the wedges loosen, and there may be a squeak as they slide in the grooves when stepped on. In springing away from the riser, there is still more of a squeak when a weight on a tread forces it back into place. When the under side of a staircase is open, as it may be when over a cellar stair, a squeak can be taken out by driving the wedges more tightly and securing them by nailing. Light finishing nails can be used, and they need not go all the way in. When the under side is not exposed, a squeak can be taken out by preventing a tread from moving on top of its riser. The first step in this is to take off the strip of molding that is under the overhanging front edge. A wedge, such as the thin end of a shingle, is then driven in between the upper edge of a riser and the tread above. The tread will thus be prevented from moving. The wedge is cut off and the molding returned. When a staircase is open on one side, it occasionally happens that e becomes the outside THE side-piec- 0 0 B B B warped and springs away from the treads and risers. It is sometimes possible to force the side piece back into place by wedging against an opposite wall.

Naturally these are problems that must be contended with but the player would be better off if he quit worrying and stroked the ball accurately and smoothly. It is wise to learn a putting technique that will cast aside these annoying angles. One of the best methods to follow is described here and, besides proving an excellent method of putting, it will also prove a remedy for putting ills when other styles are proving troublesome.
