Ii you have never churned granulated
butter, it is 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 is 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 if it brings the
cash.
1t is not necessarily the sleek, fat COW
that is the best COW in the dairy; many
lank, raw-boned COW is the one that
turns out the butter.
Each degree Of c)ld adds to the amount
OF corn needed to make pound of pork.
Crowd the porker now. A mixed diet is
better than clear corn.
More cows are injured from underfeed-
ing than overfeeding while growing. but
fewer are ruined. Overlooking ruins
scores; underfeeding Injuries thousands.
The Russian thistle is taking complete
possession OF fields of both Oak otas.
Unless vigorous measures are taken, it
will soon be almost impossible to eradi-
cate it.
When you are husking corn this fall
and design the stalks for the cows, don't
be afraid to leave all the nubbin ears un-
husked. The COWS VIII eat them with
the fodder, and will be greatly helped on
milk yield thereby.
Now is the time when the careless
farmer spoils the coming COW by i'm
proper care of the heifer. She needs
generous feed-not examining with corn
like fattening steer, but plenty of clover
hay, oats and taste of other good
things.
Agriculture can be made more nearly
an exact science by the application of
irrigation to the soil than by any other
means whatever. 1t prevents drought
and makes crops certain, and thus fixes
the earning power and value of the land.
We shall see it much more extensively
applied in the future than it has been in
the past.
Great, large hogs are not as nnmerous
as they were decade ago. The demand
at present is for hogs of a medinm size
and farmers have become disnosed ~
give greater attention TO early matnr;no
breeds rather than to those that attain
great size. By varying the food instead
OF using corn altogether cbeanness of The
pork is also secured.
