Fconomy in Haulinr,

WHEN hauling a load it is better to
have the horses draw as much as they
can, making the load the maximum
in weight, as the horses have Travelled
the distance whether the load is small
or large, and it is the time lost in trav-
cling that makes hauling expensive.
IL the roads are good heavy loads can
be carried. If not, then two trips must
be made and smaller loads carried.
Let any farmer estimate how much he
loses as the difference In large and
small loads, and loss of time in the
mud. and he will make less objection
TO road tax in the future.

Barley for Hogs.


After several years experience am
convinced that for growing pigs be
tween the age of . to months barley
is Preferable to corn il only one thing
Is fed. But to be able to feed barley
profitably it must be finely ground
and soaked at least six hours before it
is given to the pigs. 1t should always
be fed in the form of a very thick
slop. Skim milk is preferable TO water
for milking the slop. especially for
young pigs. | once fed a lot of pigs
) months old, and they made a gain
Of "a pounds a day each on finely
ground barley fed as very thick slop
with liberal quantity of skim milk.
For very young pigs l prefer TO feed
equal parts of shorts and ground bar
ley and then gradually change 1t to
onehalf each of corn and barley the
last six weeks, when finishing for
market.--Lewis O'Follow.

sheep that Pay.

10 farmer should keep sheep be-
cause they are scavengers and can
pick OFF a large share of their food
from scanty heritage. Such sheep
must be active TO travel over large
spaces in order to find subsistence. To
expect sheep to pay without the In
vestment of labor is to sacrifice profits.
Success is assured only when the
farmer is willing to use breeds that
give large carcasses and which re
spond quickly to care and attention,
1t is only the labor. after all, that
makes profit. but the labor must be
bestowed on the best to be had.

The EARN Dog.

4 sensible and humane writer in
the American Agriculturist says: 1.-THE
farm dog should be given comfortable
and protected quarters during the cold
winter months Some farmers like to
have their dogs about the stable. If a
hole Is cut through the lower part of
the door and an old fertilizer bag
tackled over it the dog can so in and
out at pleasure If he is kept near the
house and nothing else is available for
protection an old barrel laid on its
side. half filled with straw, with a
piece of sack tackled over the front,
will serve the purpose

Good Rutter Preferred.

Dairy schools are now in operation
in many States. and short courses On
instruction on butter and cheese-mak.
ing are given at some of the agricul-
tural colleges. 1t was not long ago
demonstrated that inferior butter
could not compete with oleomargarine
and that good butter of choice quality
could always be sold at good price.
The fact has also been demonstra ted
that there was much to learn in max.
ing good butter, and that cleanliness
and the proper management of the
milk We're essential ia producing the
choice article. There has been a Won
derful advance in the methods of but.
ter-making, and oleomargarine is re.
sponsible for it. Consumers will not
purchase the counterfeit article if they
can get the genuine, and poor butter Is
as much a counterfeit as any other
imitation.

The younger IN animal the more
mineral matter it requires in its food.
When very young pigs are growing
they are producing bone very rapidly
in proportion to size, and consequent
ly require more phosphates in their
food, especially of lime in a soluble
condition. Milk contains all the nee
essary substances for pigs, but after
a while they become of such sizes as
to be unable to consume enough milk
to supply them, as they must drink
about eight times as much water in
the milk as there are solids. To sup
ply this deficiency corn meal is added.
but corn meal is deficient in mineral
matter. Bran. ground oats. shipstuff
and finely cut clover hay (scalded), in
addition to the milk and corn meal
will prove advantageous.

1t is not necessary for a cow to
give only small quantity of milk in

a breed that is famous for large yields

COW. and he should make it his point

emmar is affected only a little when
wheat and oats are badly injured.
Again, it is not damaged in the shock
by rainy weather like oats. 1t is
hardy. and should be sown very early
in the spring. The growth at first
appears backward as compared with
oats or spring barley. Inc blades and
stems of the plant are fine, and 1t does
not grow as rank as oats, but it stools
out well, forms a large number OF
short compact heads and yields heav-
lily. Owing to its habit of growth it
is a much safer nurse-crop fer grass
and clover than oats.
