House the implements now. Order
the needed repairs Oil the steel and
iron work, paint the woodwork and
then store away, ready for immediate
use when the hour calls for work. De-
lays then are tiresome, annoying and
expensive.
The fin est sheep are developed on
high, dry lands, in dry atmosphere,
on sweet, varied and nutritious grasses.
On wet ground or on monotonous, dry

Encourage your hens to lay in No
vember. Early spring pullets should
give a good many eggs in November
and December when the days are
bright, and dozen eggs then are gen.
orally worth two or three dozen next
spring or summer Feed and keep for
fall eggs.
Select now the pullets which you
will put in your breeding pens for next
year. II you have pure stock of any
breed be sure that the pullets come up
to the standard OF that breed in form
and feather, as well as in size and con-
dition. If it is mixed flock select for
size and form rather than color or mark
ings. HU
I'm selling out the flock Of turkeys
select the best hens for next year.
Keep those only which come up to your
idea of what turkey should be. Sell
off the long-legged, long-shanked ones.
Sell those off in color. Keep the plump
and woodworking birds, both hens
and gobblers. Change your gobbler,
but never an inferior one. Farmers

ton when the road is in process of con
struction.- and Fireside.

The ice.house question can b
summed up as follows: Any cheal
structure with good drainage and M
circulation below; good ventilation
above; proper space between ice ant
sides, filled with non-conducting mate
rial. The bugbear of expense need dete
no one from storing ice. BY providing
a proper bottom ice can be piled on ]
and building put over it later. Farm

Our own rule in regard to selling il
to let thing go when it will pay n fai
profit above cost. whether it be crol
or some stock To hold for an advanc
beyond such profit constitutes specula
ton, the risks of which are quite a
likely TO result in losses as in profits
A boom is quite generally followed b.
reaction. A good time to sell is whel
