The ewes should now have some auc.

tther, roots nor good ensifage, bran will
be the best substitute. Hay and grain
alone are apt to produce costiyeness.
which is especially to be avoided.
The expenses attending upon market.

ish the profits. Good roads and cood
teams would help to remedy this, and
often farmers could work together to I'D.
vantage in hauling and shipping their
crops.
Farmers everywhere just now are anx-
lous to grow more hogs. We all know
what the result OF this will be- A few
wise men are giving instead renewed ef-
forts toward producing good sheep and
cattle. They are working in the right
direction.
Keep well in mind the fact that BY in
creasing the yield per acre you lessen
the cost of production. You do not have
to double the crop to double the profit,
as is the case where you double the
amount of the land in order to accom-
plish the same result.
A permanent pasture is an essential
toward successful stock-growing. This
cannot be secured by any haphszard
method, but is the result only Of definite
care and foresight. A rough field COW
cred with weeds and thistles does not
constitute good pasture.
1t is waste OF time and money to fer
tilize heavily or to cultivate thoroughly
land whose first and greatest need is
drainage. Apply your time and money
to remedy that, and it will bring the
best return. The intensive cultivation
may then follow to advantage.
The traffic in oleomargarine continues
to grow in spite of all legal efforts tocur'
tail it. If dairymen would make all Their
butter SO that it was superior to the best
oleo, the latter would soon be driven
from the market. So much poor butter
increases the demand for the substitute
