Utilizing Barn Yards.

Prairie Farmer not long ago
made a very sensible plea. This
was to utilize the barn yard.
Dairymen milk in stables, and
through the summer the Enclosed
lot adjacent runs to waste. WHY
not utilize it? 1t is the richest
land on the farm. a dairym an
this season put up temporary lane
fences and converted his barn yard
into a truck garden, with very
successful results. AS soon as the
Vegetables are harvested the tenn
porary fencing Will come down,
straw will be stacked as usual in
the yard, where also the stock
will be turned on sunny winter
days, as heretofore.
Too many barn yards are moth
ing but cesspools, breeding ques-
tionable odOrs, if not pestilence.
With no drainage provided, the
urine and liquid manure gIayitate
towards natural earth depression
which are very often under the
stable floor or about the stills, aud
there tue collected filth breeds its
mischief. BY all means have good
drainage about COW barns. The
Odors generated from stagnated
fifth are quickly absorbed by the
fresh drawn milk, and milk thus
tainted is absolutely poisonous.

lowing statment: If, aztec the
butter is carefully worked and
packed, preferably in a glazed
stone jar, it is kept where the
temperature never goes above go

should not keep perfectly sweet

Prntectlnn Sheen.

A Minnesota sheep grower has
adopted a device for protecting his
sheep from dogs wich is simple and
inexpensive. For several years he
has hung bells on many
of the sheep, and finds them, If
plentifnlIy used, quite efficaclOus.
But to make assurance dOubly
sure" he hangs the bells on leather
straps In which quite long carpet
t4cks have been thIckly driven,
letting points stick out. AS the
dog almost invariably strikes at
the throat, this serves as a sure
defence, even when the fear Of the
bell has been overcome. We be-
lievo a spiked sheep collar has
been patented.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
WINTER DAIRYlNG.

T. ID. Curtis says on the SUD
iect of winter dairying: "There is
an inclination towards more WIN
.er dalrying and many inquiries
are mode at the conferences looking
that way. It's my opinion that to
succeed with a winterdairy there
must be a warm stable and plenty
of succulent food. Where the
summer conditions can be brought
about there can be a success and a
proportiOnate relief from the almost
in New York-universal competl'
ton of asummer product. with
winter dairy pork can be made
with abetter price, and also veal.
Noono should aspire to he a dairy
man in winter with cold barns and
no provisions tor succulent foods"
Hoard's DaiTyman, commenting
on the above, says: "Butter lis so
unreasonably cheap in Sou mer
because so great majority OF the
OF the farmers have their COWS
calye in the spring. 1t is also I'M
reasonably dear in winter because
so few COWS are made to calve IN
the fall. There needs to be a bet
ter balancing up OF the yearly
milk supply, 50 that less milk
should be produced in summer
aud more IN winter. This would
eQuallze the prices foe tue whole
year, ana IN the end bring greater
profit 10 the dairymeu. 1t Is well
10 remember that il costs only
about 10 per cent, more 70 keep a
COW in good condition than IL
does to keep her dry, as she ought
to be kept, while the return from
winter milk are fully 80 per cent.
more than from summer milk"
John Gould, of Ohio, who last
season practiced continuous winter
stabling for his cows, states ID
American AgricultUrist that never
before were they wintered so
cheaply and well. He keeps his
barn warm and abundantly suppl
cd with light. lie chains his cows In

am now fully satisfied that it does
not pay to attempt baruyards with

MONKEYING WITH A BAB00N.
