Early Economiuinc win Feed.

Early in the fall 1t becomes neces-
sary to take stock of the food for the
cattle, dairy cows, swine or sheep.
No man can go ahead and feed reck.
lessly even thus early in the season.
| well remember one farmer who fed
literally and recklessly right through
the fall months, who gave as his eX-
cuse that he wanted to keep his stock
growing just the same as in summer
Well, that was all right r he had food
enough on hand to carry him along
but by the time winter arrived he was
faced by problem of selling Off his
stock or buying food at high prices.
There was no other alternative. He
had far more stock TO begin with than
he should have had for the amount of
feed on hand, and then his reckless
waste in feeding had made matters
worse.
That sort of mismanagcment is Of
ten carried on in lesser degree. and
animals are forced on the market at n
loss in order to save the food or the
necessity of buying more. 1t is not
such Il difficult matter for man to
figure out early in the fall how much
stock he can winter on Il given amount
of food. II he has sufficient of the
latter to carry his stock along he is
justified in going ahead and feeding
literally, but If he cannot winter them

Simply reduce the stock to the limits
necessary for wlntering them on the
food At hand. The amount of food
should be sufficient for good liberal
feedins and varied enough to satisfy
the appeti:es of the animals. They do
so much better on varied diet that II
pays to have this ready for them at
all times. Especially do we want TO

farming at the season OF the year
when difficulties are the greatest. 1t
is by overcoming these greater difficult
ties that he makes his larger profits

Dairy Evolution.

The latest development in the dairy

the most attention, probably. is dairy
bacteriology. II Is only few years
since that the study OF bacteriology
has been sufficiently scientific to reach
milk and its production. To-day we
find that the man who Is up In his
business is the dalrymau who fully
understands bacteria. where they
come from. how they go and how to
determine the good from the bad The
man who has the best knowledge
along that line is the man who is best

We have often urged on our readers
various lines of their work That
many of them have followed this siig-
gestion we have not the slightest
doubt Some of them have been test
ing varieties of fruits and vegetables
for several successive years. Others
have only recently begun such expert

these specinltes have been testing diff
fcrcnt kinds of fertilzlng material.
different breeds of live stock, various
methods of feeding, or have been
working eXpermentally in some of the
other divisions or subdivisions of farm
business. Efforts of this kind, whether
Immediately successful or not, are al
ways useful to the man by whom they
are made. To the young farmer they
are especially valuable. This not only
on account of what is learned directly
from their results. but also because
the tendency of such work is to make
the worker more thoughtful and care
ful than he otherwise would be.
We seel impelled to give this note
OF encouragement, because in some
sections of considerable area the sea
son that is now nearing its close has
been very unfavorable for crops, and
consequently the results of many Of
the tests made in these localities will
he of no positive value, though indi-
rectly they may have some significance.
Such is the case with some of the eX-
periments undertaken by the writer of
this paragraph. Though disappointing,
the failures of this kind should not
lead to discouragement There are
other seasons coming, and it is prob
able that more satisfactory results
may then be obtained 1t is certain
