Professor Milton Whitney. Unitcd
a,ates soil moisture expert. SAYS
wherever a drop OF rain water nows
of Of the plowcd field, It l. an indica
ton that the soil f. not In proper ply.
steal condition. Where this occurs In
a dry soil, the main preparation OF the
soil should be a. deep a. possible, go
that water may be carried down and
thus diminish the rapidi,y Of eyapor
alton and loss from the surface. Sub
soillng viii be found invaluable In
opening up the close and compact sub.
soil a farmer can tell whether hls
solI need, subsoiling by noticing whcih.
cf an, water flows on Of the surface Of
hi' plowed field or not"
With winter starting In early We are
opt 10 have a long season for planning
nes, years work.
For good results In egg production
the hen ousc during the winter should
mo-, be allowed to become colder than
40 degrees
Keep the young stock in high condl.
ton at this time. They will have
enough 10 endure ii they begin the
winter "a, fat a. beeves.'
In dairylng, a. In all other oeeupa.
lions, as soon a. we cease 10 bend all
our energies 20 achieve higher success
We begin TO lose ground-not because
We go back, but because others pass Us
In the race.
Make the farm work a. light an,
pleasant A. possible to the young folks
Remember that they cannot see IN,
work from The same point ~ do thelI
elders. Routine work 4 tiresome "a
young or old In any calling. In many
ways can the monotony be avoided.
For grating wax melt together equal
parts OF resin, beeswax and tallow. II
to hard, melt again, adding more tai.
low II too soft more resin. II To be APP
piled with = swAb or brush, II must be
used warm, but not hot. II put on with
the ands, It must be warm.
II you are not proud that you are an
honest filler OF the soil, sell out and
carry the hoe. Better be successful al
that tn an worry your lie away on q
farm and end In miserable failure
There never vas successful iarmei
who did not love his business. Any
work becomes drudgery which we dc
not like
The more value there n In a product
the less per cent IN cost of transporia
tlon Il hears. To transport s. worth o
wheat 1900 miles costs about 40 cents
as much In potatoes, 40 cents butter,
cents; eggs, about the same, or lit,l'
more. The only salvation for th'
American farmer In the future Is to con
dense the farm products into more re
fined forms and OF higher values.
The bones OF animals, whether iresl
or fossllized, are rich In phosphorus
acid, and are therefore good fertilizers
Though not absolutely essential Il
hens, yet nothing contributes 80 mucl
to their laying as unsalted animal food
Thi. Is a natural ailment, a. Is shown b!
the avidlty with which they pounce OF
every ay, insect or earthworm whlel
comes Within their reach.
A henis more productive In proper
tlon to her Size than any other animal OF
the farm. The average well.ied hei
will lay from 100 to $50 eggs In a year
each one Of which will weigh tw'
ounces more, thus yielding In solid mat
ter nearly four times her own weight II
twelve months. At the same rate o
product, says The Feather, COW woul'
yield two tons Of butter or cheese In
year. and this comparison shows eon
spicuously the relative superiority o
the modest hen over the more value,
COW.
The regular use Of comb and brusl
promote the health Of the horse and add
to his appearance. The same may b
said of the COW.
Handle the cows teeis gently thes
cold mornings. Many a mixer has bee
kicked over by gentle COW because h
grabbed her teats like a pump handl
when they were cold, II the teats cha
or get scratched there Is nothing bette
than vaseline for keeping them soft an
healing them. Keep a small can Of III
the stable and apply little wheneve
the teats feel hard or rough.
