blowing an orchard it is somewhat
difficult TO get the soil in proper shape
again.
A horse should always be kept in just
such a condition as will insure the
greatest mount of muscle without
making il soft by too great an inter-
mixture of fatty tissue.
The reason of cola promoting a pet-
ter separation is from the fact that
the action of cold affects the cheesy
part of the milk quicker and in greater
proportion than the fats.
Creameries are not only great labor
savers INC perfect cream ~extractors,
but are an almost absolute guarantee
of uniform quality because of the uni
form temperature maintained,
While with nearly all crops earliness
is quite an item. 1t is an exceptional
case when there is anything gained in
planting or sewing seed, unless the soil
is thoroughly prepared in a good t1th.
Young and growing animals are the
most profitable for the farmer. After
an animal is 8 years old, unless it is
wanted for work, milk or breeding
purposes, it should be disposed of in
some way, as ii is Improbable to feed
longer.
Feeding the grain TO the cows and
putting the manure on the land in
tended for the ensuing crop will in
crease the fertility of the soil and in
this way furnish grain more cheaply
for keeping the dairy to the best adj
vantage.
Overlooking produces indigestion, in
action of the stomach and their attend
ant evils, and often causes the death of
fattening animals. U~nderfeeding. on
the other hand. produces evils OF the
opposite extreme. but much the less
harmful in its effects.
Young horses put into the harness
for the first time should be handled
gently and loaded lightly until they be-
come accustomed to the change and
their muscles become hardened. Many
young horses have been injured by be-
ing crowded into work too suddenly.
A field that will not yield a profit
able crop nor cannot be enriched suf-
hcfently to be made to yield a crop
that will at least pay the actual ex-
penses Of planting and cultivation
should be let remain in grass. and il it
does not yield much pasture no labor
will be lost.
1t is a good plan at this time of the
year to sprinkle air Stacked lime or
diluted crude carbolic acid freely in
the pig pens, horse and cow stables
and in the poultry quarters. 1t will
aid materially to destroy offensive
odors and disease germs that are so

In an animal a good pedigree is one
that traces through animals of excel
lence of their particular kind or type,
possessing in a high degree the desir-
able qualities of that breed. If the
parents of an animal possess the true
type of the breed to which they belong
we may expect their offspring to grow
up in their image.
To keep down the weeds and also
as the best means of ~cultivating the
potatoes, harrow them thoroughly Just
before they begin TO come up. In this
way considerable work may be saved
later in the season and there need be
no fear that the harrow will injure the
crop. No implement will SO thorough
ly fine the surface.
1t is not necessarily the heaviest ami
NAL that brings the highest price per
pound in the market. 1t is more often
the medium sized ones that bring the
top price. The greater the weight so
long as excellence of quality can be
maintained, the better, but as a rule
the medium sized animals take on flesh
more rapidly and "a be made fatter
and plumper. and they also have less
bone and offal.
The brood SOW. after her pigs attain
a few days of age requires a great deal
of rich feed to keep up her condition
and her flow OF milk. Not only does
the SOW require this, but also the little
pigs need the greatest flow of milk pos
sible to make rapid growth; and after
the pigs become two or three weeks old
they themselves eat a considerable
portion of their mothers rations which
must be increased in like proportion.

the soil is first plowed and narrowed or
in soln way pulverized so as to allow
the plant roots TO sink into its depths
and draw nourishment from it. This
being true it should be remembered
that the soil around a plant cannot be
kept too fine and mellow for the high
est vegetation.
