HOW CATTLE MULTIPLY.
There IL No business as Profitable ns
the Systematic Raising
of Good stock.

There is money in raising cattle and
no one who has ever kept them and
cared for them in business way has
ever made statement to the con
trary, says the Texas Stockman and
Farmer. \ young man cannot invest
$50 in a safer or more certain business
than to buy a good cow and take care
of her progeny for "A period of five or
ten years. In ten years $50 at ten per
cent. will double itself, but where can
young man loan $50 at such rate OF
interest? Anyway at the end Of ten
ys""s be win nH'" h"vn SfcN for his in
vestment. If he will invest $50 in one
good prolific COW and take care of her
and her offspring for ten years. hi
$50 will not only double but Great
more than 1000 per cent. of tie ir.i
principle. As an example of what can
be done in this line case is given hy
the iioNie Sentinel.
"Ten years ago" says the Sentinel
"John Sims presented his two sons
Willis and Robert. with COW each and
put them in Willis Johnson's herd 10
pasture, instructing Mr.. johnson to
sell or trade the steer calves for heif
ers and also sell enough of the increase
to pay the herd bills, which he has
done. Mr.. Sims and family returned
home from Colorado, where They had
been seven years, and the boys found
that each had n nice little herd of cat
tie. One had rather bad luck, however,
and only found 12, while the other
found that he was the possessor of 2s,
making a total of IS for the two cows,
after deducting all loss and expenses"
If the young men in question had
worked and cared for their respective
stock and with the proceeds of ma
tured animals added more breeding
animals to their herds, it is plain that
the above figures could easily have
been doubled.

One of the doing kind of farmers is

Improving Marshy Land.

When piece of marshy land has
been drained 1t is often found that
crops fail to thrive, although 1t seems
to be very rich in nitrogen. The rem
edy is to add barnyard manure. The
semi-aquatic vegetation which for
merly occupied the land decays SO
slowly that cultivated crops cannot
get nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added 1t
sets up fermentation which con-
verts the nitrogen bearing materials
into more soluble and hence avail
able form.--Director G. e. Thorne,

KEEPING EGGS FRESH.
A Simple MstAsa which Has Given
Satisfaction TO Many who
Have Tested IL.

With fairly cool cellar, there is no
trouble in keeping eggs for two or.
three month";, If they are turned SO
that the yolks do not settle. II those
who have chickens, and are afraid OF
not getting eggs in winter, will try
this plan, they will with little doubt
be satisfied.
As early as September begin to Ill
cases to keep for month or two az
least. When full, keep in cellar, turn
ing the boxes upside down every day
or two. II the number laid is small.
boxes that will hold six, twelve or If
teen dozen should be made or bought,
as the eggs should not be left unturned
many days, and IL is very awkward to
turn them when the case is not full.
The boxes should be numbered and
dated. When eggs are to be sold or
used. take the Oldest, but use them
while they are perfectly good. August
eggs could be sold in Septem ember or Oc-
tober. those packed in September could
follow, and so on. Under ordinary cir
cumstances. the gain in holding from
one to two months will generally be
25 per cent.
If the supply is for family use, make
boxes large enough for one section OF
regular paper "fillcrs." These hold
three dozen eggs, and your box may be
two. three. four or five layers deep.
Boxes of that size are easily handled,
and will be convenient for market ting
if there are more eggs than you need.
At my own home we followed this
plan last winter. and of over 40 dozen,
not one egg was spoiled, though in a
very few the yolk had settled. The ef-
feet of such alienation is virtually to

mands for cash are quite numerous

Young Chick. Need GRIT.

When the chick begins to live II has
. good supply of food from the yolk
of the egg. This lasts for two or three
days. During this time the grit is
not needed. But as soon as the first
hard grain is eaten, which is often the
third day from birth, the grit is neces.
sary. Nature does not supply this.
The chick must find it or 1t must be
supplied, This may explain the sue.

VERMIN-PROOF DOOR.

1s inches or higher from the floor and
make it one foot square; this will be
large enough for poultry to pass
through. To close over the opening at
night and in very cold weather a
small sliding door is used to shove
across opening. 1 find this to bf
preferable to hinged door, as the
wind has no effect on 1t. A small plat.
form, eight by eight inches, is placed
just below the opening, on both sides,
for poultry to step upon when pass
ing in and out of coop. This arrange
msnt is also very handy for letting
fowls pass between scratching shed
and coop. At least we have found this
method preferable to leaving the door
open. The sliding door should fit very
tightly over opening to exclude all
drafts of cold air in winter.-Lewis
