spring. If YOU. put out a large crop this
advanced work helps you to get it in
early.
Just now every farmer should care
fully look over his stock, and if there
is any of it that in all probability can't
be kept probably through the winter,
it should be disposed of in some way.
! Sell it If YOU can, at some price, but
| give 1t away rather than keep it at 4
financial loss. It's the little leaks that
eat up the profits.
If you can possibly get all your corn
be a great saving of both feed and labor.
/ After the winter SHOWS and rain some on
fodder damages badly, and it is slow
and mean work to go to the field and
drag it out of snow and mud as it is
wanted for the stock. If you haven
barn room to stow it away, put it in
| stacks where it will be convenient to the
stable or feed lot.
If you have never constructed a, manure
pit somewhere near the barn it will be
! time and labor well spent to do the work
| that comes from the stables the coming
winter. Unless your barn is situated on
sandy land this pit can be built very
cheaply by seooping out the 1, dirt and
then planking up sides three feet high
to hold the litter Stone walls laid in
cement are of course best, more costly
to begin with, but probably cheapest IN
apt to be neglected and become fire
fanged and badly damaged, but the open
pit, where there is no leachlng, is SAKE
and convenient.
Wagon tires will become loose in dry
weather. and some owners think the
remedy lies in having them cut and re-
Set A better way is to soak in water
until tight, then soak in boiling oil. A
Bucks county farmer fixing his wagon
wheels one day last. week had an iron
pan six inches deep, the bottom slightly
round-that is. deeper in the middle than
at the ends. This, half full of linseed
OIL was resting over a. fire. When the OIL
was at boiling heat a wheel, raised by
jack to be just the right height, was
placed over the pan SO the rim would De
covered by the oil, and was run through
the oil until every part of the rim was
saturated. This, the owner said, fastened
the tire permanently and preserved the
wood of the wheel.
The value of clean milking is shown by
the following experiment-Five cows
were MIXED four weeks by two persons,
each mixer serving two weeks, botn ne

milking and not aware of a test, the
other knowing of it and ordered to milk
the cows thoroughly dry. In the, sase OF

test got 1,1S1 pounds of milk, or an eX-
cess of 267 pounds.

Jelly manufacturers, and from them
is made some of the jelly that is tor

is true.

site. Let nothing excite. Movements
should not be any more demonstrative
than are necessary, but there must be
no finlching.
