Farm Notes.

The grades of COWS take the name of
the sire.
A COW that is in any way worried will
not do her best.
When does the fire insurance run
out. Be cure about it.
Finely-aavored butter cannot be
made amid filth surroundings.
The cost of support is in proportion
to live weight, but the yield is not in
such proportion.
A dairy becomes mandatory to
convert the vegetation of the farm into
a finished, marketable product.
If you oil your leather or buckskin
mittens or gloves they won't be 30 hard
after being wet. Also they will wear
longer.
Apple orchards stand drouth much
better than many of our other farm
crops, and this is encouraging to the
apple enthusiast.
The amount of milk solids and fat
that milk contains is controlled more
by the constitutional characteristics Of
the COW than by the feed.
The first thing young farmer should
do is to adopt strict business methods.
Count the cost ard the loss or profits
on every branch Of industry, even the
hen.
Stumps should never be set on fire
until they are thoroughly seasoned, to
be sure OF thorough work. A partially
burned, charred stump is very slow TO
decay.
A useful task for a winters day ia to
put an edge on the farm tools, and to
make them ready for coming use. See
that the spades, scythes, hoes, chisels
and saws are ready for use, using the
grindstone and files frequently.
Experiments in regard to digestion
show that ninety-6ve per cent of the
nitrogen in cattle food is returned in
some form-one-half was found in the
LIQUID manure, one fifth in solids, and a
little more than that in the milk. This
shows that unless we save the liquid
manures we lose that which is most
valuable.
Bran and corn meal is a good old
standby ration for mich cattle. The
bran neutralizes the clogging effects OF
corn meal, and supplies the nutritive
elements which it lacks. Bran is as
popular as ever, but gluten meal and
similar feeds are gaining ground over
clear corn meal, and the opinion seems
to be growing that there is more milk
in gluten than in whole meal, even
when taking the relative cost Of the
two into account.
A hog fattens more quickly by being
fed no more at any time than it will
eat. 1t should always clean up all in
the trough. When it has fed, clean the
trough out and do not feed again until
the animal shows plainly that it is
hungry. II overfed 30 that it feeds in
differently it will lose less weight to
permit 1t to 60 without food day than
It would by continuing to feed beyond
its appetite. Probably no other animal
is 80 sensitive to injury from overfeed.

The lungs are the great vital center of the

you ever thought why this is2 1t is because
the functions of every or an stop the moment
we stop, br athing; Breathing enables the
heart to beat, the blood to circulate and the
brain to send forth sensation and motion to the
entire body. The lungs, the brain and the
heart const tute the tripod of life, and while
they. act we cannot die. The heart depends
on the lungs for its power to circulate the
blood, and the blood depends on the lungs for
Its publication. Every moment of life rbon
ic acid is being generated in the blood by the
action OF the organism, and must be gotten
rid OF by the act of breathing. That is God
appointed way of purifying our blood When
we stop breathii we retain the carbonic acid,
and five minutes accumulates sufficient in the
blood to poison and stop the whole mac inery
of life.
All affections of the lungs are serious, how
ever slight they may seem, because they pre-
