really been taking serious chances by
not having this protection.

USEFUL POINTERS.

Every neglect in poultry raising has
its costs.
Wash and scald the milk vessels
carefully.
Make it practice to wash the udders
of the COWS.
Feeding too frequently will cause
animals to glut.
/. A change of pasture is at times bene-
fetal to the stock.
See that the animals have all that
they want to drink.
1t is impossible to make a poorly
drained road q good one.
The healthfulness of farm life is one
OF its many advantages.
The milk utensils should be aired
every time they are used.
When you change the food OF the
stock don't do it suddenly.
Every farm should contain an unfail-
ing supply of pure water.
The fowls are better off when they
have to scratch for living.
Plant the crops so that the farm will
lose as little fertility as possible.
Better have small farm well worked
than large farm poorely worked.
A farmer can use lot of brains ID
trying to regulate his barnyard prop
erly.
If the COWS and stables are clean
there will be no trouble with tainted
milk.
II there is such a thing as good lucl
in farming it is tie result OF gooc
judgment.
The power Of heiedity In thorough!
bred COWS is stronger than in scrut
stock.
The hens that are kept il a damp
yard and house are not going to pa.
q profit.
Ascertain what varieties are mos
successful in your neighborhood anC
then pla4t them.
Close study and careful though

GROWING OLD.

A little more gray in the lessening hair
Each day as the years go BY;
A little more STOPPING of the form,
A little more dim the eye.
A little more faltering of the step
AS we tread life's pathway Ger,
But little nearer every day
TO the ones who have gone before.
A little more hating of the gait,
And dullness OF the ear;
A growing WEAKNESS Of the frame
With each swift passing year.
A fading of hopes, and ambitions, too,
A faltering in life's quest;
But little nearer every day
To a sweet and peaceful rest.
A little more loneliness in life
AS the dear ones pass away;
A bigger claim on the heavenly land
With every passing day.
A little further from toll and care,
a little less way to roam:
A drawing nearer to q peaceful voyage
And a happy welcome home.

Farm News and Views
Philadelphia Record

flaming is profitable according to
the methods of the farmer. The largest
profits are mado by those who cultivate
small farms. The gardener uses farms
of two to five acres, while the ordinary
farmer is not satisfied with less than
forty, and therefore cultivates thirty
five acres more than the one with a
small farm. The quantity of manure
made is not sufficient for forty acres.
1t is also fully as laborious to harvs st
the crops from the large farm. 1t Is
contended by farmers that the gardener
must perform mora work With the hoe,
and that he must employ q larger
number of assistants. This may be true1
but if tie value of his products warrant
the outlay in order to make larger
profits it simply demonstrates the ad-
vantage Of cultivating small aleas. Tie
location and market are to be considered
but railroads now shorten distance and
time. The use of the manure on small
plots is the most important factor in
the management of farms.

Sheep will not stray away if they

They prefer to Craze after the sun be-
gins to go down, and will continue to
do so into the night, in order to escape

1t is in the rapid growth Of young
animal by whlch the farmer makes the
most gain, and the sooner he gets the
animal to the desired weight the lower
he cost and the larger the profit. 1t
& )es not pay to retain fat animal
after it reaches a certain stage, as the
ratio of gain in weight in proportion
to food consumed is lower. Great
gain is also made on varied foods than
on grain, as other elements than those
required for producing fat are neces-
sary. During the warm season green
food is essential, while grain will lot
be necessary at all for some animals.
