1t is a good plan to feed wheat as
the grain food at this time, as corn is
too fattening
Very Young chickens have small
crops and in consequence require feed
ing frequently.
1t has been predicted that the hos
grower who stays in the game will he
the man who will win out.
If you can't be cheerful, be cheer
half-full. You know half a load is
better than no loaf
The hog that is doing nothing for
itself or its owner may truly be called
a pen holder 1t holds the pen, and
that Is all.
All, that seedless apple is full OF
disappointment, for now the little boy
will have no core to give to his little
sister,
When the cholera germ gets into
herd of swine it is all day with that
herd. The thing to do is to keep a
close tab on the germ.
In some localities at least sheep
should be looked upon as auXiliaries
In keeping up the fertility of the land
rather than a means Of profit.

time taken in running about from
place to place for forks they could
soon buy number of them.
A combination of young SOW for
dam and too much corn will more
surely cause a fine bone and de-
terioration than any other cause.
1t is claimed that equal parts OF red
pepper, alum, rosin and sulphur will
cure chicken cholera. Feed a table
spoonful Of this mixture in three pnts
of scalded meal every day.
The man engaged in running down
his farm has long since lost interest
In running his bank account up. A
bank account may not be necessary
for happiness, but good farm is.
1t is a pleasure to pick up an apple
and not be compelled to eat around a
worm hole 1t speaks well for the
grower of the apple or it means that
some very Industrious moth failed to
do its duty.
The dairyman who is up to date will
not be satisfied by knowing the COW
that gives the most milk or butter i'll
a day or in year, but he will seek
the cow which produces the most from
each dollars worth of feed.
A cheap paint for outbuildinSs AMI
ment and water mixed to a paint con-
Sistency to which is added such color

ocher makes a good coloring matter.
Cooperation among farmers is all
right. but such cooperative assocla-
tons should be organized by the farm
ers themselves and not by some per-
son who has an ak to grind. Usually
| the organizers have personal and III
| terror purposes.
A good thermometer is a fine thing
to have to help ambitious people use
good Judgment. Sometimes the wealth
err is too cold to make a trip to town
and when there Is no thermometer one
is liable to guess that "the weather is
not cold"
| A large amount of the so-called
whole -four consists simply Of a
mixture of -four and middlings. Con
sumers of this grade pay about twice
as much for it as they do for the real
-four. The addition of middlings will
deter rising. but adds to it's nutrition.
| A prominent Illinois swine breeder
says he knows that it is against the
experiment station reports to cook
feed for hogs, but he feeds warm feed
to his growing pigs in winter. He
thinks they appreciate a warm feed
! Just as we'll as he does and he obtains
as good growth in winter as he does IN
summer.
1t is said that one good way TO Sc
lect a good layer is to draw an i'm
aginary line from the eye to the feet,
and should the part Of the fowl on
the rear part of that line be In excess
OF that in front it is an indication of
a good layer. If the larger portion
| is in front it indicates good table
| fowl. The claim is that a good table
fowl has a preponderance Of breast
and is not a good layer. The layer
has but little breast. but has CORE
spondingIy well-developed egg organs
and is a good layer
