more headwork on the farm. He will
aid in uniting the agricultural interests
of his neighborhood into a union of
strength, power that will be available
at all times in the maintenance and pro-
lection of honest labor and American
production.
1t is now time to be looking out for
the farm help for the coming season.
We like intelligent and reliable help
much the best, and if possible always
secure that kind. Such help costs more,
it is true, but it is worth much more as
a rule, as any employer will find when he
CONSIDERABLY draws comparison. Care
less and Indifferent help. even if they
turn off as much work, will waste. break
or destroy enough to fully make UP for
the higher cost of trusty men.
AS rule there is large loss of fat in
Dreaming and churning the farrow cows
milk. The milk is much more yiScouS,
and its butter fats will not come up as
in new milk with common setting. Be-
sides that, the farrow cows milk does
not produce as good-flayored butter as
does the milk from new mich cows.
There should be, if possible. some cows
fresh in milk with them. The addition
of new fresh milk to that of the farrow
cows will aid in getting up the butter
fats; it will also help the churns in get
ting them out of the cream.
1t is not desirable to have fruit trees
grow to an enormous size. 1t is diff
cult to prune them, to thin out over-full
crops, or to gather the ripe fruit. Prop
er annual training will keep them with
in due limit.
Experiments with young chicks show
they make better growth OH whole
wheat diet with no sloppy food. and less
mortality occurs than when fed corn or
corn muSh raw or cooked. A diet wholly
carbonaceouS is the worst growing
bird or animal can have.
Apples grown in grass ground will
keep longer than the same fruit grown
OH cultivated land. Late-keeping varie-
ties therefore should always be grown
in grass lands. So said Mr.. Hadwen at
a recent meeting of the Massachusetts
horticultural society.
The best cheese is that made from the
whole milk. When a brand of cheese is
put OIL the market that is known to be
of tRe best quality it always sells read
lily. When The market is overstocked
with cheese it is of the poorer kinds.
The tendency to make portion of the
cream into butter and giving the cheese
only portion of the whole milk de-
stoys the sale of the cheese by compel
ling it to takesits place with inferior
goods.
w. ID. Hoard, of Wisconsin, recently
said: The expense of the dairy is just
as great with poor cow as with good
one. The profit depends upon the del
icacy of the machine. l have found
that the chilling of the cow decreases
the amount of milk secreted, while warm
drinks restore it,"
DO not keep your cream too long be-
fore you churn. or the result will be
bitter butter. Stir the cream frequently
while waiting for a sufficient quantity
to make churning; but it is better to
have small churning, and secure
choice butter, than to hold back too
long and have the butter of inferior
quality.
Small fruits are as easily grown as
farm crops. More work is required in
harvesting and shipping, but less land
is necessary in order to secure large
return compared with other crops.
When it is considered that but short
period of the year is devoted to an orch
ard or small fruits, it is doubtful If the
labor bestowed is greater than for wheat,
corn or vegetables.
AT the Ohio experiment station they
found it profitable to SOW onions in the
hotbed in February or March and trans
plant in April or May. The early sorts,
such as New Queen, or Barletta, Pearl,
Bermuda, ETC., gave best results under
this treatment.
