Among the early crops that should 90 in
when spring opens is mixture of oats and
peas. The crop can be cut at any stage Of
growth, but is more nutritious when the
seed pods are about to form. If the cows
are given light mess at the barn at night
they will improve in flow of milk. DO not
give too much at first, or scours may result

Fall pigs sometimes pay when the winter
happens to he mild, but those who have
pigs farrowed last fall will find that they
will he overtakcn in growth by the spring
pigs, unless the fall pigs have been kept in
a warm place under shelter, as they will
not grow if exposed to severe cold.

When the flock or herd is subject to
some contagious disease, the practice is to
remove the sick animals to a new location
The proper plan is to remove those that are
mated, as a change to fresh ground of the
sick ones contaminates more space and
makes it more difficult to get rid of the
disease. If the unaffected animals are re.
moved at once to ground where the disease
does not exist they may escape entirely,
but to remove the sick ones and leave the
others is to invite the disease to remain and
destroy all

Do not expect stock to secure a supply
of water from snow, as the experiment will
result in loss. AS water is cheap and also
essential at this season, it should not only
be supplied but also be given in luke
warm condition.
A sheltered yard would be very service
able in winter. This may be secured by
the use of boards or by growing an ever
green hedge around the enclosure, to serve
as windbreak. If the cold winds can be
kept from stock they can stand quite low
degree of cold and enjoy themselves in the
open air.
Do not ship live poultry to market in
midwinter as the fowls suffer terribly on
the journey, not only from cold, but for
water and food, as well as from
crowding in the coops. Kill and dress all
poultry, dry pick and pack in barrels or
boxes, asserting the carcasses, so as to have
them uniform Live fowls lose weight on
the journey to market, and are frequently
exposed on the sidewalks until sold
Dressed fowls will not quickly decompose
in cold weather and will bring better
prices.
Silage is distinctively cattle feed, but

In order to save labor in making troughs,
or to avoid buying those that will answer
better, farmers use the V-shape trough,
the hogs, and especially pigs, to reach over
when there is but little food, and which is
near the bottom, the pigs often having to
get into the trough to eat, and this they
will do readily when number are together
and scrambing for food A trough not too
deep and having Hat bottom is much bet

Farmers who tried the experiment last
year of growing clover by seeding it on land
unoccuped by wheat or oats giving the
land entirely to the clover, report very
favorably. About eight quarts of seed per
acre were used, the sowing being done
early. If the land had been powel in thp
fall the seed was sown in the spring and
narrowed in. The weeds were cut down
with mower, about three inches above
the ground. Some farmers report that they
never before had such good Catches" or
fine fields of clover
