Producing crop is necessary where
fertility exists. If not valuable crop
1t Will be one of weeds, whose seeds are
always present and ready to terminate
when opportunity offers. II left un-
plowed the land should be SO heavily
seeded with clover as to prevent weed
growth as much as possible. When
most farmers talk of giving their land a
rest they mean rest themselves from
the labor OF filling it.-Ex.
Many of the diseases TO which horses
are subject, and. especially the malig-
nant contagious which from time to
time sweep through the stables OF the
country, are largely due to poor venti-
lation. The horse cannot flourish and
maintain his vigor in foul air. Much of
the stable architecture contemplates
too crowded condition of the animals
confined. The farmer, of all men, can
easily furnish his horse with an abun-
dance OF stable room, and if he gives the
subject little thought will not fail to
make such provisions. xa
The question is sometimes asked "Can
poiled cattle be good mixers 2" 1t is the
sheerest nonsense to suppose that horns
have anything to do with the milk flow.
Horns are neither useful nor ornamen
tai, except from the force of habit. They
are, on the other hand, both trouble
some and dangerous, as the many cases

resulting from persons being hooked go !
