Cowpeas for Brood sows.

A Missouri farmer echoes the opin-
ion of all WHO have tried cowpeas for
hogs when he says:
l will give my experience with cow
peas as feed for brood sows during
the breeding season. Having a field
of cowpeas convenient to pasture with
hogs, turned them in, both large and
small. There being clover, timothy
and blue grass in the same field, gave
nothing else but water The sows
were in good condition when turned in
and when the peas were gone they
would have weighed probably fifty
pounds each more than when turned
on the peas. The pigs are now arriy-
ing and the result Is from three to eight
pigs to litter where should have had
from eight to twelve per litter from
aged sows. have neighbor who is

A Good Time 10 Begin.

The market calls for a sheep with a
dark face and legs, and a close fleece
is an advantage also. There never las
been a time when a fair profit could not
be obtained from the keeping of sheep.
There are in the world today ninety
million fewer sheep than twelve years
ago, and the consumption Of mutton
and wool is rapidly increasing, hence
il is safe to conclude that sheep to the
farmer is a safe proposition. Do not
start on a Ia rge scale; begin low and
work up The Western farmer does
not like TO do this. and you are no ex-
ception. You have never planted the
apple because you did not expect to
stay to eat the fruit. You must rush
on and do big things. Do you not know
that in the animal world, as well as In
the vegetable world, rapid growth
means rapid decay? Plant this live
stock business and give It time to strike
its roots deep down, and after it is
fairly rooted allow the top to grow

killing DnndeIions.

Many inquiries have been addressed
to this department asking for advice
on how to kill dandelions in lawns.
The best means, of course, and surest,
is to dig them up, root and all. This
is tedious, however, and expensive.
Try, in case the digging process is not
employed, the sulphate of iron solution.
Use a good-sized handful to three gal
Ions OF water and sprinkle this over an
area twenty feet square. 1t will not in
jure the grass and will kill the dande-
lion-at least some of them.

MIX Is Good for Fowls.

Sour buttermilk, or even whey,
makes excellent feed for fowls, but it
is much better to mix the ground grain
with it than to place it where they can
drink it, in order TO avoid waste, as
much of it Is rendered filthy if placed
where the fowls have free access to it.
An egg beaten in milk and thickened
