Looking after the water In the

come necessary. Sometimes a
never failing stream dries up.

COWS seem to be doomed to hand
work. So far no very satisfactory
invention has been made that pro-
vidcs for the doing these jobs by
machinery.
The COW that mikes hard
should have two calves put with
her and then permitted to u In
the pasture. After the calves
have been weancd an improve

When the wire binder was, in
ventors wcrc at work trying to
complete the twinc binder, there
were those who said II could never

weeds growing along the fences
push them inward each year.
Some fields were noticed recently
where the crops did not come
nearer the fences than ten or
twelve feet. The weeds had en-
croached ON the tiliablc land each
year. This Is a mistake. No
farmer, however poor he may be
should permit the weeds to take
