Omen bitches Breed Weeds.

Open bitches are usually weed nur-
series, because not one farmer in ten
ever finds time to go along them and
keep the weeds down to prevent them
from seeding. An open ditch also oc-
cupies much more ground than the
width of the cut. There must be a
turn row on both sides or else the
crop to the width of such row is
tramped down and ruined. For these
reasons it pays to put in tile drains in
stead of open bitches. A tile drain
lasts forever; an open ditch needs
cleaning out every year.

Standard of skim MIX.

A fair standard for the composition
of skim milk is 9o.5 per cent. of water
and 9.5 per cent. of solids, including the
fat. The state o. Massachusetts pre-
scribes legal standard of 9.3 per cent.
total solids for skim milk. The SOL
ids other than fat are casein and al
bumen, ranging from to 3.5 per cent;
milk sugar, from ~ to per cent, and
ash from or to 0.s per cent. The solids
of skim milk sometimes rise to 10 per
cent, but it should always be re-
membered in using this article that
in 100 pounds only to 10 pounds
can be relied upon as being food ma
terial; the rest is water.

Guinea Fowls or Farms.

Every farmer ought to have few
guinea fowls to add to the variety of
feathered life on the farm. They are
also good protection against such
depredators as hawks and other enc
mics of young chickens, their loud
cries on the approach of any such in
truders giving signal to the weaker
fowl to make its escape. Guineas are
a rather wild fowl and will not bear
confinement we'll. It is not best to
keep them unless there is good range.
The hens are great layers, but will
mostly steal their nests, and will bring
off very large broods. The young
guinea fowl are very hardy, and not
SO subject to disease as are other
fowl

Live stock Our Salvation.

Henry Wallace says correct theory
of farming requires that the fertility
of the land be maintained. This is the
farmers capital, not the land itself,
but the valuable fertility of the land.
The exhaustion of this is the exhaus-
ton Of the farmers capital stock. In
selling grain we simply sell our land
by picemeal, not the profits, but the
land itself. The correct theory, there
fore, of farming involves not merely
grain production, but meat .produc-
ton, and meat production primarily
because in producing it we are selling
our grain to the best market and can
thereby keep up the fertility of the
farm.

the big man.
"Of course was speaking to you"
"Well. I'm not deaf. I believe you
