~exe d; for Farm Stock in Winter.

The question Of exercising farm stock
in the winter season is one that should
bc given nauch attention. The winter
is now at hand, and the well doing of
the animals themselves. and particu-
larly OF their, Progeny. will be largely
dependent OH sShe amount of exercise
which can be given to them. While
all kinds OF stock. keep in better con-
oition of health and thrift when they
can get a reasonable amount of exer-
else, none profits by it more than preg-
nant animals.
II Is generally recommended to fur
nish exercise for brood mares by al
lowing them to run IN a pasture or
paddock. When of the heavy draft
types. however. they do not in all in
stances seem to take enough exercise
to insure the best results in the proge-
ny. Especially Is this the case when
they are heavily fed and in a high
condition Of flesh. Where it can be
done. therefore. the plan which would
give them enforced exercise Is good
one. BY enforced exercise we mean
working moderately in the hands of
some one who will handle them with
sufficient, care.
Cows usually get sufficient exercise
when they have access to a yard. but
when not giving milk they will not be
injured. and probably will be benefited
by having access to a pasture field, to
which they may be tempted frequently
when the ground Is not all covered
with snow.
Sheep are apt to suffer more from
lack of exercise than other classes of
live stock. If they are confined to mar
row quarters. say from the middle of
November to the end of April. there
Is danger that the lamb crop will come
weak and lacking In vitality. In order
to encourage sheep to take exercise
when the snow is deep, some shepherds
have adopted the plan Of feeding them
In an Enclosure some distance from the
sheep shed. They are thus forced to
take exercise in getting back and forth
to the Enclosures referred to. OF course
il the ground is bare. or even q part OF
it is bare, and the sheep have access
to pastures at such a time. they will
take plenty of exercise while enieavor-
Ing to help themselves to the grass.
II Is aIsr injurious to young filters
of swine when the brood sows are kept
closely confined in the winter season.
To avoid such n result, where practi-
cable these should have access to the
barnyard, where they may employ

Temperature and the Keeping Qualities

OF muHs
Tn recent bulletin issued by the
CONNECTICUT experiment station Prof.
II w. Conn gives some interesting data
concerning the relation of temperature
IN Tho keeping of milk. In part he
says:
"variations in temperature have a
surprising influence upon the rate of
naturalization of bacteria. At SO de-
grees these organisms may multiply
only fivefold in twenty-four hours,
while at 20 degrees they may multiply
seven hundred and fiftyfold.
Temperature has great influence
upon the keeping property of milk.
Milk kept at IS degrees cheat OF the
cows body will curdle in eighteen
hours, while the same milk kept at 70
degrees will not curdle for forty-eignt
hours, and If kept at so degrees the
temperature Of an ice chest. may some-
times keep without curdling for two
weeks or more.
$50 far as the keeping property of
milk is concerned the matter of tenn
perature is of more significance than
the original contamination Of the milk
with bacteria.
milk preserved at so degrees or low
er will keep sweet for long time, but
it becomes filed with bacteria OF a
more unwhoiesome type than those
that grow at higher temperatures. Old
milk issnot fit for market. even though
it be perfectly sweet
The Wife's Equipment.
The farmer who has good wire
ought to appreciate her enough to fur
nish her the best possible equipment
for her part of the work. The stove
smokes, the fire is slow. the farmer has
been digging in for dear life out OF

is not ready. What then? Scold
about it? Not much Pass a resolu-
ton that the next time the fire goes
out you will clean out the stovepipe
