PRACTICAL FARM NOTES.

The economic value of all foods de-
pend upon their digestibility.
An animal must be kept in good flesh
and thriving to make it grow.
1t is very desirable to put the early
lambs to maturity as soon as possible.
One of the first things to be done on a
stock farm is to improve the pastures.
The rearing and feeding of live. stock
is the salvation Of Impoverished farms.
The greatest profit in agriculture lies
in keeping every acre actively p,roduc-
ing.
Young and growing animals require
a food which will make muscle rather
than fat.
The farm teams accustomed to heavy
work should not be driven on the roads
rapidly.
Sheep need and must have plenty Of
grains and q variety of fodder to fatten
rapidly.
It is ever true that the good milk and
butter COW will turn her food into milk
and butter and not flesh.
The highestwelfare OF all domestic AMI
mall requires that their food be not only
wholesome. but nourishing.-soldier's
