AGRICULTURAL.


Items of Interest From all Around the
Farm.
Do not go into breeding sheep and
growing wool unless you mean to
give the flock the best of care.
1t is a mistake not to feed the
breeding ewes we'll from the time
the milk is dried up until the ram
serves them. eu
Are the gates all in good repair?
There is no better time of the year
than now to attend to such things.
Every good gate should have coat
of paint; they last much longer and
look better.
During the winter is the farmers
best time to read and study about
his business. Subscribe for as many
farm papers as you can afford, and
buy some good standard agricultural
work and study it. n0aIH
Do not be frightened if your cows
are large eaters, for it is a pretty
sure indication that they have some
thing of value to give you in return.
All that you can induce cow to eat
and digest, above that needed for
support, will go directly to profit.
A flock of poultry on any farm can
be made the source of aneat income (;
but, even should the farmer only
raise enough for his own family,
selling never an egg nor a feather,
they will pay better than anything
else requiring same outlay Of time
and money. viaL, lnuimI,
You have arranged for feeding the
stock this winter, but have you also
arranged for proper feeding of TIE
land? The manure should be put to
work again producing something
more which is of value, for the rota-
ton thus procured is the highway
to success. A rotation of crops is
not the only one requiring atten-
tion,-Farmer's Home Journal.
There Is an advantage In storing
the seed corn in the smoke house.
The odor of creasote which attaches
to corn from its exposure to smoke Is
an effective safeguard against the
ravages of many worms and insect
pests which play upon early planted
corn.-Farmer's Home Journal.
The successful farmer of to-day is
a man of broad intelligence and
sound business judgment. He is
familiar with the situation; grows
crops and stock that are adapted to
his soil, climate and mark cts; then
studies to make surrounding con-
ditions and circumstances con-
tribute to his needs. He not only
uses the light that comes to him
through the experience of Others,
but also keeps his own lamp
trimmed and burning.

Things That DON'T PAY.

Keeping too many fowls in two
small quarters.
Keeping two or more breeds when
you are only posted on one.
To get rid of your best breeders.
Always keep the best at home.
To dose or doctor fowls in health
to keep them healthy. What fools
ye mOrtals. be-"
To pose as judge or critic, when
your faculties lead you to the pillow
To send out inferier stock Better
use the Ratchet freely and not kill
your reputation.
To breed from pullets, where
healthy, strong chicks are wanted,
or from old cocks with old hens
one just as bad as the other. Better
mate strong yearling cock on two
year-old hens. This mating pays
best.

Oceans of Room.

The poultry business is the largest
of our agricultural industries, and
yet it is practically in its infancy.
There is oceans of room for enter
prising men and women to earn a
livelihood with the hen. It is a
business that will not sustain in
definiteness of purpose; the idea
and aim of the prospective poulterer
must be carefully and thoroughly
planned before he embarks in his
work. Don't rush madly into it,;
stldy it, learn it, and build a solid
foundation for the business to grow
on. Begin moderately and gradu-
ally increase your stock as your
knowledge increases in caring for
that stock after you getit. Nothing
will succeed unless you know the
secrets of success. The secrets of
poultry raising are not many. but
yoJ should know them il you Lope
TO succeed .-The Feather.

The Dairy.

Cows may be fed very cheaply
through the winter on straw and
poorly cured corn fodder, but they
cannot be expected to produce much
on such food. The owner will GER
tainly be out at least the cost of
their keeping-whatever that may
be. n ,dt11' HrtI.N
Extra quality can be looked for
only in the Improvement of breeds
and, in judicious selection. Feed
enough of mixed ration to increase
the quantity of a cows milk, and
the product will be the best of
which she is capable. 1t is now
established that an extra quantity
of nutritious food will not Increase
the percentage Of butter fats.
When butter selling is dull a
profitable trade to fall back upon is
the selling of cream, and such a
trade can be worked up by every
creamery or dairy. Especially if it
is we'll known that the cream is
pasteurized before it is put on the
market it will go off with a whirl.
Creameries can obtain special
apparatus, but it will not be difficult
for man to arrange one for him
self.
English dairymen have concluded
that they can, on an arabic farm,
get succession of crops which are
the best dairy foods, and can pro-
cure 80 per cent. more food suited to
dairy COWS than by keeping the
same area in grass. This, and the
English method of feeding, by which
root crops and soiling are made tc
play prominent part, are wor tn
consideration.

Rye For Pig Feed.

Rye is extensively used in North
Europe for pig feeding. In Dem
mark, where it is fed extensively, it
has the reputation of producing the
same amount of pork from a given
weight as barley. The quality of
the pork produced Is nearly as good
as that made from barly, which
stands at the head of the list for pro-
ducing pork meats of the finest
quality.

Breeding Dairx Cows.

A correspondent of Hoard's Dairy
man, who seems to be thoroughly
we'll informed in regard to the sub
iect, tells in a recent issue how
Jersey cattle are bred on the Island
Of Jersey. The island, which con-
tains only about 10000 acres Of farm
land, is divided into eleven parishes,
and each parish has an annual
show, at which yearling bulls are
shown with their dams, and the two
are scored jointly, so that a bad bull
with a good dam or good bull with
a bad dam cannot be the winner.

prennrinr ,ironnd For ONIONS.

If the frost does not permit so do
ing, plow the plot Of ground for
onions and leave it rough, so that
the frost can penetrate it. When a
warm day comes spread the manure,
and plenty Of 1t, on the plot and
work it we'll into the soil with a
harrow. AS onions are put into the
ground very early in the year, one
cannot prepare for the crop too soon.
The main points are to have the
land worked deep and fine, and to
use decomposed manure that is free
from stalks, straw or other litter.
