II you have never churned graduated
butter. it lie time to begin.
1t never increases the milk supply to
pitch milk stools At the COWS.
Give the brood SOW good rAnge, and
she will take exercise enough.
Just now what feed ie better for grow.
ing pigs than milk and milk feed?
At the price Of feed and milk this
season it will not pay to feed poor COWS
it never does.
1t pays to treat COWS gently. Some
folks call it "babying them" Never
mind what it Is called il it brings the
each.
1t lie not necessarily the sleek, fat COW
that is the best COW in the dairy; many
q iank, raw-boned COW IL the one that
turns out the butter.
Each degree of cold adds to the amount
Of corn needed to make pound Of pork.
Crowd the porker now. A mixed diet il
better than clear corn.
More COWS are injured from underfeed-
ing than overlooking while growing, but
fewer are ruined. Overlooking ruins
scores; undertaking njuree thousands.
The Russian thistle lie taking complete
| possession of fields of both Dakotas.
Unless vigorous measures are taken, il
will soon be almost impossible to eradi-
cate il.
When you are husking corn this fall
| and design the stalks for the COWS, don't
be afraid to leave all the nubbin carr un-
the fodder and v;li he GREATLY heinad On

Agriculture can be made more nearly
an exact science by the application OF
irrigation to the coll than by any other
means whatever. 1t prevents drought
and makes crops certa IN, and thus hxes
the earning power and value OF the land.
