Farm and STOCK Notes.

A partially dead tree, or one that is I'M
productive, should be cut down and some
other kind substituted. 1t often happens
that pear tree will thrive where peach
or plumb tree will not grow. No space
should be wasted on Improbable trees.
Sailing stock in the fields should be done
only whe the STOCK nave free access to
water. If no water be given other than
when the animals are in the barn yard the
salt Is best given i'll the troughs.
F. d. Curtis urges that the temperature
of cream for chummg should be raised
above the point decided upon as giving the
best results and then allowed to lower to 1t.
his reason is that by this process every
particle of cream is surer to be of the re-
CURED temperature.
There Is perhaps not q nook or corner on
the average farm but that may be used for
some kind of a crop that will pay well for
the raising, and the corners that now are
eyesOres and bugbears may be sources of
income that are not exceeded bY any other
parts of the farm.
COW should be MIXED out in five to
eight minutes 1t is hard work on tha
wrists and muscles, but it must be done or
the cow will get a habit of dribbling the
milk, which Is very tiresome. To cure this
habit, which mas been brought on by slow
milking, the milking should be done more
quickly, and III time the trouble will disap
pear.
Take two calves of equal value and
promise. Bring enc up under scrub condl-
lions and she will be a scrub. Rear the
other in accordance with the best light of
the age and She will come under the head
OF improved stock" 1t makes wonder
full difference under what conditions a COW
Is raised from calthoOd.
To To- t,,h1
her horns in the usual fashion, and then
pass it back of and around her ear, then
forward and under the rope which goes
around the horns, pulling the ear tight
against the horn. When the rope is prop
erly arranged the most stubborn COW will
trOt along nicely.
When the pigs are confined in the sum
mer they can be advantageously used as
manure makers. Everything that can be
converted into manure should 60 into the
pig-pen, so as to permit the pigs TO work IL
over and mix all the materials together
They will also at the same time consume
| mucn of the material that would otherwise
be wasted.
Animals cannot thri We their best on dry
food alono however rich and plentiful.
Such food cannot keep the system clear and
In free, wholesome action. Animals SO
fed may take on fat very readily. The
most clogged and diseased system tends to
| that excess, as we frequently notice in dis
eased corn-led hogs. The rapid taking en- of
| fat is 40 indication of health and thrift
| quite often the contrary.
The farming of the future must be grad
ually contracted in the number of acres
| Higher cultivation, more remunerative
| crops. Less hard work over broad fields
and closer attention to special paying crops
on the fields that surround the house. More
| pasture, more stock and plenty of ensllage
this insures the purchase of less CONNER
cial fertilizers and the very best results from
| the contents Of the barn-yard.
You cannot get two crops from the land
without doing injury unless the land be
! highly MANFRED. The custom of securing
a crop OF hay from the orchard robs the
| trees. The more hay the less fruit The
! fruit crop needs as careful attention as any
other. All crops grown in the orchard
other than the one desired from the trees
simply retard the growth of the trees and
lessen their bearing capacity.
