Advantages of Drainage,

Drainage affords the conditions
which favor perfect termination,
speedy development and complete ma
turity. 1t admits a free circulation
of air and moisture in the soil and
makes possible both animal and vege-
table life. It breaks down and mellows
stiff and otherwise untillable soil. It
induces chemical action to take place
in the land and thus prepares plant
food. 1t admits deeper root growth
and gives wider range from which to
draw sustenance for the plant. It
makes it possible to secure greater
benefits from the application of both
yard and commercial manures. 1t re-
duces injury to wheat and other crops
from freezing. 1t lengthens the time
of tillage and renders cultivation pos
sible when it would be out of the ques-
ton if Observation-Disclosures Rural.

DAIRY AND LIVE STOCK.

The fat hogs should be put into
the pork barrel, or in bank, before
they eat more value of corn than they
are worth.
y The persistent mixer that gives a
fair quantity of medium test. and
calves in the fell, is the COW that
makes happy figures on the books.
Keep your eye open for her.
The hogs must be supplied with
some bulky food during the winter.
Clover hay cut early, and secured so
as to save the leaves and heads is the
most desirable for this purpose. This
can be cut fine, and then steamed or
soaked and fed with meal mixed into
thick slop. Where no special pro-
vision has been made, the clover
leaves can be gathered from the barn
floor where the hay is thrown down.

TEACH CALVES TO LEAD.
DR.. Ga1en Wilson Relates an Incident
Containing n Lesson for Every
Dafryman.

Did you ever think what it would
be worth to you if you could put a
rope or halter on any COW on your
place and lead her off like a horse
DR.. Galen Wilson gives his experience
along this line to Practical Farmer
readers as follows:
Seeing man driving COW along
the street the other day and she dodg-
ing into every opening in the fence
along the way, and the man worry
ing, .fretting, using harsh language
and casting a stone at her occasion
ally to get her back on the street
again, reminds me of the very first
lessons had in "cow culture"
My good old "pater" kept dairy
of ten cows always, and raised the
cows himself. When a young lad he
gave me a dollar each for teaching
the calves to be led. 1t was only fun
for me and I thought him very lib
eral. Later, I saw him sell COW to
neighbor for $40 and he told him
plainly that ''were not the COW SO
nice to be led should charge you
but $35; but now she is worth all
ask you, and for that reason"
Knowing that had taught the COW
to be led and received only dollar
for the service, I thought at the time
that "my parent on my fathers side, u
as Artemus Ward said, had been
rather sharp and mercenary in his
dealings with me and got five dollars
for his one dollar investment.
But in this age of maintaining less
and less fences, it certainly adds five
to ten dollars to the value of good
COW to have her taught to be led;
and most cows have to be driven OF
led singly sometimes, somewhere.
Teach the calf to be led and when
she's a COW she will not depart from
the early teaching.

have taken about equal parts of the
two breeds, having more bone and sub
stance than Jersey, yet not so coarse
and heavy as the Simmenthal. She
has good length and depth OF barrel
and remarkably well sprung ribs.
Since she came in fresh she has MIXED
on an average rs pounds of milk per
day, testing As fat and over II per
cent. solids. The udder is remarkably
well balanced and teats well placed.
She is the equal of any pure bred Jer-
sey on the farm as a producer. 1t is
yet too soon, however, to determine
whether the Simmenthal-Jersey cross
will be of permanent value. Amer

Keep the Creamery Painted.

The owners of creameries, whether
individual or cooperative, should see
to it that the buildings of the estab-
lishments are kept neatly painted.
This has a moral effect on the patrons
and serves as strong backing to the
ambitious butter-m maker, who wants
to get only clean cream taken from
clean milk. To certain extent all
things are bound together in the
creamery, and it is difficult to elevate
one kind of service without lifting
the whole mass. The patron that de-
livers milk to shabby buttermaller
standing in the door of a shabby
creamery will instinctively form the
opinion that almost any kind of milk
is good enough to take to that place.

WORKING OF BUTTER.
Timely Advice from Uncle Fred Cur
tbs, Based on an Experience OF
Half Century.

Butter, when properly made in the
granular form, needs no working
other than that done in the churn
This saves more than half the labor
and makes frst-class butter. Salt
should be evenly distributed through
the butter and the butter freed from
the buttermilk and surplus moisture.
Why churn the butter into mass
and fasten the buttermilk in? Stir
the cream well together when more
cream is added until enough is gath
cred to churn. Churn the cream at
90 degrees in a revolving churn with
out inside machinery, until the but
ter comes in granules about bird shot
size. If so done the butter will be
strictly one thing and the butter
milk another, and the buttermilk
will run out if you give it an oppor-
tunity.
Rinse the butter twice with pure
water, with salt added. The last
rinsing will come out nearly clear OF
buttermilk. Drain the butter few
minutes, add about two ounces OF
good dairy salt to the pound of but
ter, the butter still being in the
churn, revolve the churn few times
and the salt will intermingle evenly
with the butter. 1t is well to allow
a few minutes for the salt to dissolve
and then give it a good banging in
the churn which will give the butter
nearly all the needed working. Now
pack the butter solidly in tub or
crock or work into rolls with the but
ter ladle. About three-fourths of the
large amount of salt put ia the but
ter will come out in the brine in
working or banging the butter into
a solid body. I have practiced this
method over so years and can certify
to it's value for farm dairy use or say
up to 80 pounds of butter at churn-
ing.-F. C. Curtis, in Farmers Voice.

Pork from skim Milk.

There is no doubt that skim milk is
a great feed for hogs, but sometimes
too much is claimed for even skim
milk. When man claims to "fatten"
hogs on skim milk we confess our Gre
dulity is stretched to the breaking
point. AS is well known, skim milk is
rich in the elements that make muscle
and sinew, but deficient in the ele-
ments that make fat. Thus, skim milk
is excellent for developing the frame
of the pig, but after that some fat
making food must be brought in to
finish the hogs for market. Skim
milk is excellent as partial ration,
but nothing is gained by claiming
every virtue for it.-Farmers' Review.

Value of Clean Milk.

Cleanliness in milking may seem an
old subject often touched upon, and yet
it is of as much Importance now as ever
In fact, I consider it one of the most
important subjects in the dairy cate
CORY. The great value of milk as hui
man food lies not only in its inherent
purity of quality but also in the abso-
lutte natural purity of it's flavor. This
characteristic, transmitted in the man
ufactured state to butter and cheese.
does more than anything else to COM
mend them to the good will of the con-
suming public.-Farmers' Voice.

Keen an Eve ON the Cream,

See that the cream is thoroughly
stirred before putting it into the
churn. The flavor and appearance of
the cream is indicative of its proper
ripeness. One skilled butter maker
says that while the alkaline tablets
are valuable as indicating the degree
of ripeness of the cream, it is his ex-
perience that no mechanical test can
ever take the place of the judgment
of the experienced butter maker,
whose taste and eye must BIZ the prin-
cipa tests as to the CONDITION at
witch the cream should be churned.
