Eggs for the market should be
washed clean; they look better and
sell better.
The student of farming realizes
cultural science is infinite, so far as
man is concerned.
The ram needs to be changed every
two years and fresh blood infused IN
the flock. All things considered, a
three-year-old ram is best when breed
ing to improve.
1t is very plain why the little mill
on the creek has gone into disuse
when we learn that last year 100000
600 bushels Of wheat was sent to the
two cities of Duluth and Minneapolis
for milling purposes.
We no sooner get the last load of
coal paid for than we have to be on the
outlook for screen doors and windows
to keep out the hungry hordes OF
house flies which come a little later
than the time for storing the winter
stoves.
Never leave ice or spring mud frozen
on the horses ankles. 1t is conducive
to rheumatism, chapped heel and mud
fever. Rub the legs dry with wisp
of straw or piece of old gunnysack.
Cheap Turkish toweling is handy and
effective
The man who owns an upland farm
fears nothing by streams overfiowing.
In wet time he will lose some soil
from his fields by washouts, but he
cares very little about tile drains. The
level lands have some advantages as
we'll as some disadvantages.
There Is a great difference between
planning and planting. In order to
do one successfully the other must
be attended to- 1t is better to plan
the planting than to plant the plans.
Sometimes our plans do not work out
and sometimes plants fail to material
lie also.
Are you sure about your seed corn?
will any Of it grow? Frequently one
car will be good and another bad.
Sometimes one side of an ear will be
alive and the other side dead. It does
not matter so much the kind of seed
your neighbor has, but what you have
is what you should be intensely in
terested in.
It Is a common saying that hens
and gardens do not go together and
that it is of no use to attempt to raise
hens and keep a garden at the same
time. It is true that in the spring
time, when the seeds are just sending
up their tender shoots, the hens are
not safe creatures to have In the gar
den. But when the garden vegetables
have obtained their growth or a good
share of it the fowls may be given
the run of the garden. If they touch
any of the plants the pruning will Of
ten do the plants good, but most of
the efforts of the fowls will be devoted
to Kidding the garden Of bugs and
worms.
With respect to solidity the differ
emit parts of the hoof vary widely.
The middle layer Of the wall Is hard
er and more tenacious than the sole,
for the latter crumbles away or passes
off in larger or smaller flakes on its
under surface, while no such spontane-
Gus shortening of the wall occurs.
The white line and the frog are soft
horn structures, and differ from hard
horn in that their horn cells do not,
under natural conditions, become hard
and hornlike. They are very elastic,
absorb moisture rapidly, and as read
ily dry out and become hard, brittle
and easily assured. Horn Of good
quality is fne-grained and tough,
while bad horn is grained and
either mellow and friable or hard and
brittle. All horn is poor conductor
of heat, and the harder dryer the
horn the more slowly does it transmit
extremes of temperature.-Prof John
W. Adams.
Variety in Food.
The idea that small chicks should be
confined to one sort Of grain Is wrong;
of course, during the first day or two,
or even the first week, when they are
fed on oatmeal, this suffices, but as
