Dor MilkcU the Cow,

William Jackson is Il wealthy farm

j., and Princessville. He has n boy
on the place of the lame of Frank
Bennett and the boy has a pug pup
called Jim. Frank Benefits princi-
pal duty is to milk the COWS. The
pug pup had often sat upon the grass
and watched him.
The boy thought it would he great
fun n few days ago to give the pug a
feed of milk direct from the COW, and
taking careful aim, directed the stream
into the dogs mouth. The pug seemed
to like it. One day it was noticed
that the COW failed to give her usual
quantity Of milk, and that the pug re-
fused to eat the most tempting morscls
of food, yet he was growing fat.
Farmer Jackson discovered that the
pug and the COW were on the very best
of terms. He watched and was almost

5 FARM TOPICS :
Cracked Wheat For Young Chicks.

srackeo "heh' hor young chicks.
In wheat-growing localities it is al
ways noticed that young chickens
around the barns are always'unusually
thrifty during the wheat harvest.
They pick up tho scattered wheat
grains and soon get t the stage where
they will acquire q full suit Of feathers.
There is no better material either to
make growth or feathers than wheat
in the grain. For very small chicks
the grain must be cracked. but they
soon become able to swallow whole
wheat grains, which is q better whole
feed for fowls than anything else.
