Turning out to Pasture,

Many of the farmers have turned out
their cows to pasture, although the grass
is rather shoot. The scarcity of hay and
fodder has led to this course, and we may
therefore look out for grassy milk and
butter in very short time. Those will
be fortunateswho escape touch Of garlic.
1t is only when farmer Is called on to
buy hay and other feed he realizes how
little profit there Is in selling milk and
butor even at present rates. In some
cases the cost of food is more than their
produce will sell for, A farmer told us
the other day that he had laid by nearly
n hundred dollars to pay note, that the
en- tire sum had disappeared for feed and
he had nothing to show for It, One OF
his neiGhbors on being reminded that the
feed was out exclaimed Damn the
cowsv 1t is hoped that the hay crop will
be better this season and next spring there
will be less feed to buy,
