bring profit.
OATS ground with corn, in the pro-
portion of two or three bushels of oats
to one of corn, make an excellent feed

FAILURE usually comes from attempt
ing too much. A single variety OF
poultry will often pay we'll when many
kinds would not.
WHEN skim cheese is classed with

If your cows do not eat up clean, re
