Pounds milk.

Figuring upon fifteen cows MIXED
during the year and not considering
that two of these were MIXED only
half the year, the average number Of
pounds Of milk received from each
COW for the twelve months was 6,S15,
bringing $59.52 in cash at the cream
cry Our correspondent states that he
gets from $40 to SIS per head for
calves at three months, while S25 is
the price from this age up to a year.
The showing made is an excellent one
and should serve to influence a num-
Der to change from quite general
grain selling to the dairy method of
farming.

Hints to Home Ruilders.

Don't forget that a poorly planned and
poorly built house costs just as much
as the other kind
Don't try to get your house built for
less than it is worth. You will be the
loser.
Don't scrfmp your building anywhere
or forget your wife's comfort when
you plan your house.
Don't expect to heat poorly built
house economically.
Don't omit to double your first floor
1t will pay IN comfort, healthful1 So,
and fuel
Don't try to build a $4,000 house for
$1,000 and don't expect it of your archi-
tect. 1t can't be done.
Don't undertake to see how cheap
you can build, but how well.

We are in no sense prophet, but we
will venture the prediction that there
will be the usual number of bugs, bee
ties, borers and insect pests of high
and low degree to wage war on all veg
etable and animal life on the farm this
coming season. Between the weeds and
the bugs it is often nip and tuck for the
farmer to see where he comes In.

There never were SO many men en-
gagged in farming who want to find out
better ways Of doing their work than
at the present time.

The farmer who worries because he
is not sure whether the law requires
him to cut the weeds along the road
benefit of the doubt and get busy with
his mower. When in doubt about ques-
tons of right and wrong it often helps
to act in accordance with common
sense.

Some people love money because it
is money, while others seek it because
Of what it will bring to them. The for
mer hoard it, deprive themselves and
others of legitimate pleasures and final
ly leave it to be contested for by all
possible and rightful heirs The latter
earns the dollar, appreciates its value
and spends it in bringing happiness
both to himself and others.

The shellbark hickory and the white
oak are very fastidious as to the soil
wherein they grow. These trees like
the same sort of soil, stiff clay, and
one never need be looking for sand
pit anywhere near where they may be
found. White oak and shellbark hick-
DRY lands are nearly always good wheat
soils

A good idea Of the growth Of the rice
culture in the south is gained from the
figures showing that in 1899 there were
but $500 acres Of this cereal under cul-
tivation, while at the present time
$4,000 acres are devoted TO the growth
of this product.

A farmer who had bought a cheap
John cook stove from a mail order
house registered a kick with the house
because the griddles warped after
few weeks USE The letter sent in re-
ply suggested that he had undoubtedly
had too hot a fire and that he should
turn the griddles over and let them
warp back again.

The owner of a very good hun
dred and sixty acre farm said to us
lately that he had come to the conclu-
sion that he had too much land; that
he was going to dispose Of half Of the
farm and work the balance better. He
struck us as being one Of the wisest
men we have met for many day.

One might as well neglect to plant
half the area Of his cornfeld as to
use seed that will produce but a so per
cent stand. Yet in spite Of this fact
the number who will use such seed is
beyond belief.

The rivalry in American rural com
munities that crops out in an attempt
to see which farmer can sport the most
lightning rods or the best carriage
finds expression among the Swiss peas
ants in the purchase Of sweet toned
bells for their family cows, some of
which cost as high as twenty francs.

Our experience with shade trees, COW
ering period Of years, is that in case
Of those trees which can be transplanted
at all the best results are obtained by
cutting back the top and roots of a
three or four inch tree rather than in
transplanting two or three year old
sapling.

The young trees Of the orchard are
in greater danger from rabbits during
February and March in case Of heavy
fall Of snow than in any other months
Of the year. A small boy with a fer
ret, or soap or liver rubbed on the trunk
of the trees, is a safeguard that may
be proitably employed

II your butter does not possess Just

On Washington's birthday dealers
all through the country were paying
but 10 cents per dozen for fresh eggs,
the mild winter of the preceding month
having started biddy to laying, with
the result that a S1,75O,O0O corner on
eggs was knocked higher than a kite
and the cold storage product thrown
on the market to prevent absolute loss.
The American hen is power in her
way.

That windbreak on the west side Of
the farm would be improved nightly
if you were to build a bonfire nearby
and use part Of it for Illuminating ma
terial to help see to dig some new holes
in vacant places. The new trees would
grow quickly and soon fill in the empty
spaces instead Of reminding one of
jaw with half the teeth gone. Thrift
keeps things up.

The observance of birthdays ami

not always possible, but it is we'll to

VALUE OF EXPERIENcE

There was once a man who ran d
grocery store for many years, but final
~ decided that he would sell his gro
Gerry business and invest all the pro-
ceeds in poultry raising. His plan was
to buy all the eggs his neighbors had
to sell and turn them into chickens by
the incubator method, thinking thereby
to arrive at state Of wealth in short
order, Never having had any expert
ence with the chicken business he went
the way you might expect through the
bankruptcy court. Experience is an
asset very much underestimated by
some people.

The dairy, the silo and the red clover
meadow are the keys to one Of the
greatest sources Of wealth in the coun

There are other ways Of making
money on the farm besides raising hogs
and cattle, and one Of the best is to
keep the loose ends about the place
we'll gathered up. No man is making
money who has to buy new binder
every few years just because he let
his old one stand out in the field with
little straw thrown over it or under
a leaky shed where the water all runs
through in one or two places and those
right where it shouldn't There is as
much difference between a we'll and
slovenly kept farm as between thor
oughbred Shorthorn and scrub Jersey
steer.

When we see house all done up in
several colors on the outside, while
paint and all it's kith and kin are stran-
gers to everything else about the place
we are forcibly reminded Of the wo-
man who keeps everything spick and
span in the front part Of her house,
while the back portion is simply a
sight for sore eyes, to say nothing Of
the sanitary condition. If you are going
in for style let it prevail throughout the
premises.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1906-03-22

Did you ever size up your own farm as
a whole and notice now many scattered
and dilapidated buildings dotted it here
and there which had no legitimate use?
Built in your less palmy days or in
some stress Of emergency they have
continued to hold their own until now
they represent fine supply Of kindling
wood. If you are going to have tool
house, a woodshed, a shelter for bug
gies and machines and all around work
house, think out some plan whereby
convenience and stability may be com
bined under fewer number Of roofs.

If the potatoes you raised last year
are scabby and you do not want to
buy new seed, soak the tubers you
have for two hours in a 40 per cent
solution Of formalin at the proportion
of one pint to thirty gallons of water.
This can be done most easily and with
greatest economy to the solution by
putting the "praties'' in a gunny sack
and suspending them in the solution.
At the end Of the time mentioned they
may be raised and the solution allowed
to drain back into the barrel

A little girl living on large stock
farm in the middle west describes her
self as being passionately fond of her
dog and pony and skillful with her
rifle. She is bold, brave and free,
knowing the responsibilities as well as
the privileges of boy she has no
brothers and is often called upon to
do 2 boys work and in closing her
letter adds that she dearly loves to
dance and never stops till daylight.
This is a pretty good record for a lit
tie girl who lives miles away from any
town and is not yet fourteen years old.
Just the same, there is good material
for a woman there if the energy is di-
rected In the right channel.

Last spring, with a view to deter
mining the relative merits of early and
late planted potatoes, we made a first
planting as soon as the ground was
in a working condition, about the LIST
Of April. Three weeks later a second
planting was made, when several hills
of the early planted seed were exam
ined. 1t was found that these potatoes
had sent out sprouts about a quarter
Of an inch in length, which were ap-
parently at standstill, proving quite
conclusively that there is no great adj
vantage in planting potatoes until the
ground is sufficiently warm to secure
their termination and growth.
