from unpleasant odors, drainages,
and other nuisances, and half the
battle is won. In hot weather filth
and dirt from pen or stable becomes
the natural breeding place of dis
ease. The drinking water in par
ticular should be pure and sweet and
free from contamination.
The next point that needs empha-
sizing is the general condition of the
health of the animals. Make every
individual animal of the flock abso-
lutely perfect in health, and disease
will have little chance of creeping
in. They are practically all inn
munes, and should they be exposed
TO infection the chances are they
will not contract it Good feeding
and excellent sanitary environments
are the essential conditions for max
ing animals perfect in health.
Granted this, and we need worry
little about summer hog cholera,
sheep scab or any of the dozen and
one diseases that cause so much loss
TO farmers These preventive g
sures are needed to day on the farms
more than the prescriptions of vet
Urinary surgeons and patent animal
foods and medicines. Every farmer
should be able to act in this way as
his own physician. E. P SMITH.

WHEAT HAY.

"Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion," and it is true in feeding as else
where. Short supplies have neces-
STATED experiments which have
taught valuable lessons. Wheat has
been known as the great bread pro
Queer since history began, but it is
just now beginning to be valued as a
hay producing crop.
In many sections, rust makes it
Improbable to raise wheat for bread.
Tt is too uncertain. But experience
shows that trout just as it is in the
dough state, and before the rust has
done it's fearful work, it makes the
best of hay, This hay is very easily
cured and kept. The grain makes it
a perfect ration for horses, mules,
oxen, and mich COWS, Horses and
mules fed upon it do full pillow work
in the heat of summer, and keep in
health, and improve inf1esh. Wheat
that will make twelve to fifteen
bushels per acre of grain, will make
two to three tons of hay. Twelve
bushels of wheat would be worth
about ten dollars, two tons of hay
would be worth thirty dollars. These
are the values in the South. If the
hay would be cheaper in the North
and West, the wheat would be less
valuable at the farm. This solves a
great question of how to feed plow
stock on many farm through June
and July.-Southern Planter.

FOWLS ON THE FARM.

Prof. Gilbert, of Ottawa, Canada,
in answer to the question: "Why is
poultry valuable to the farmer:"
gives the following reasons:
d Because he ought by their means,
to convert a great deal of the waste
of his farm into money in the shape
of eggs and chickens for market.
Because with intelligent manage
ment they ought to be all year I've
nue. producers, with the exception of
perhaps two months during the
molting season.
Because poultry will yield him
quicker return for the capital in
vested than any of the other depart
ments of agriculture.
Because the manure from the pOul-
try house will make Ii valuable COM
post for use in either vegetable
garden or orchard. The birds them
selves if allowed to run in plum or
apple orchards, will destroy all in
curious insect life.
Because while cereals and fruits
can only be successfully grown IL
certain sections, poultry can be raised
for table use or layers of eggs in all
parts of the country.
Because poultry raising is an en-
ployment in which the farmer s wife
and daughters can engage and leave
him free TO attend to other depart
ments.
Because it will bring him the best
returns in the shape of new laid eggs
during the winter season, when the
farmer has most time on his hands.
Because to start poultry raising on
the farm requires little or no capital.
Under any circumstances, with
proper management, poultry can be
made with little cost a valuable ad-
junct to the farm.
