a COW will either put ter feed on
her back or i'll the mix pail, 'yS a
writer. If on the back. the quicker
she's marketed the better.
Early lambs required more attention
any her Young animals, and the
business had best not b, undertaken
unless they can be given good
care.
1t is es mated that every individual
in the land ca : 80 pounds of pork
am ual Y: in amy event, thar mach is
raised. This. at least, Slows the i'm
portance Of the swine industry.
If you want frnit trees do not wall
for some unknown agent to come along
and coax you, but select some reliable
one yourself and send in your orderfor
the varieties you prefer.
Cottorseed meal is not only an ex-
cellent addition to the ration. but it
is fer illzer as Well. 1t is better to
Use a proportion Of linSeed meal with
the cottonseed meal as the tAo COM
bined are better than cotonse d meal
alone.
An excellent way t. be p caJbaccs
Is to put them III il low close toge Their
roots in ground deep. and then turn
furrow Of earth over them. They vi
keep better this WY than when tie
heads are down and the roots up.
Crimson clover provides gre food
during portions of the win er. 1t may
be cut late in the fall and fed to h,
animals and also may BE- used early in
the spring. a small quantity given
the animal once ii day will be highly
relishcd
When an animal is not gaining IN
weigh it is being KEEP ata:css because
1t CONSUMES food without turning an
equivalent therefor If COW is made
to increase in yield of milk with no
increased cost for food the extra milk
coasts no hing and adds to he profit.
Horses are nov being shipped from
this country TO Europe and expor of
horses exceed in value, those imported
Formerly we bought Il great many
horses from Europe for purposes of
Improvement, but Europe is bow
drawing on us for horses for the same
purpose.
Lime encourages the growth of
clover and prevents growth of sorreI:
1t makes sandy soil nose compact md
clay soil more friable: it unlockspotash
and encourages formation of nitrate of
potash: i'll hiEderS growth of some
kinds of fnngr. and kills the larvae
OF many insecs.
Every pound of food given should
have its definite aim and purpose
sustaining an increase of weight in
our working horses Increase in weight
of stock fed for the market: increase
of the product of milk, outer or wool
we hope to get. There must be first
knowledge and then system.
It's possible to raise a thousand
pounds of pork from an acre of clover.
In no other way could a clover field
pro luce like value, but even better
results will follow if smal ration of
corn is fed, howevre flush the clover
pasture. The corn is needed to sus-
tain and so!idIfy the flesh of the
animal.
4 live stock wri'er says that it is
beginning to dawn upon those who
eat beef, for the purpose of sustaining
bodily vigor and health rather than
for the pleasures of the paIa'e, that
onr beef is made too fat. J here is
more nutriment in IL given weight Of
grass fatted beef than that fed largely
on corn.
Feed the corn fodder now and save
the hay. Fodder is in better CONDITION
now than it will be be later on (unless
it has been properly cured and slowed
and the cattle will relish 1t better be-
fore it Is too dry. If it is out in the
fields it vii be wasted. and if it can
not be saved in any other maner let
it DO fed as early as possible.
Walnuts are a paying crop. 1t may
require over quarter of Il century to
secure the timber, hut land planted
with walnut trees will be an investment
which wi | be more valuable every
year. with il small fortune awaiting
him who can afford to wait for it. The
Wl1nutS will al 80 olive a DrO'it yearly
