TaIlOwy Butter.

Referring to the statements Of prac-
teal farmers, L. S. Hardin says in
Home and Farm: In regard to feeding
wheat bran. they tell me | am entirely
right in what l said and that there is
too much oil in cotton seed for a regu-
lar diet for cows, while wheat bran
has just enough. 1t has other excellent
dietary qualities. These gentlemen tell
me that two pounds of cottonseed
meal is as much as one should feed a
COW in a days ration when butter is
made, and it should then be fed with
corn ensilage made with the ears on
for It's fat forming excellence. When
too much cottonseed meal is fed it
makes hard, tallowy butter, what in
the Chicago market would sell as 'ssec-
onds" or third rate butter That is how
| would rate what have seen.

Devons are a very active breed of
cattle They are good walkers and
therefore good rustlers and a very
prolific breed, the cows breeding up
to twenty years of age. and at the pail
they are found on the average as good
as any breed. While probably not Civ
ing as large a flow as some other
breeds. they hold out well. Some Of
the cows refuse to be dried off before
calving.
While we do not claim for the Devon
the animal that gives the largest flow
Of milk or makes the largest beef, our
plea is that for the general farmer,
who wants beef and milk combined,
there is none it's superior. The great
power Of the Devon to effect speedy
Improvement in beef qualities is the
outcome, Of course, of singular pre-

Hints Handling the Mother Hog
and Her New Family.

Hints on Handling the Mother Hog
and Her New Family.
In very cold weather it may be nee
eSsary for few days to remove the
pigs to a warm place after they have
sucked to prevent chilling. AS new
born pigs suckle as often as every two
hours during the day, this entails con-
siderable Inconvenience, but it is time
we'll spent and may mean the differ
ence between profit and loss to the
breeder. The pigs are soon able to
fight their battles with the cold unaid-
ed by any but their own warmth and
that of the dam.
For the first twenty-four hours the
SOW should, as rule, have no feed and
will need none. If, however, she shows
signs OF hunger thin slop Of bran and
shorts or thin oatmeal Cruel may be
given. Tepid water should be given to
drink as the sow wants it. Never give
cold water. The feeding for the first
three or four days should be light and
carefully given, and the time consumed
In getting the SOW on full feed should
be from week to ten days, depending
on the size and thrift of the litter. The
first feed should be very light and in
the form of the thin, warm slop al
ready mentioned, working gradually to
full feed
No time should be lost after farrow-
Ing in getting the SOW into the open
air. Of course when pigs are narrowed
during the cold months care will be
needed, and it may be necessary to let
the pigs reach the age of two weeks
before turning them out. They can,
however, get considerable exercise in
the piggery or in the lot with the SOW,
and there is often a lot adjoining a
barn that is sunny and sheltered from
cold winds where the new family may
be turned for exercise. Avoid particu-
larry allowing the pigs to run out dur
Ing cold rain. They are especially
tender during the first weeks.-G. NJ.

How to Grow Alfalfa.

Alfalfa must be reset every third
year. | have been using cutaway har-
rows for resetting it along the Pacific
coast for great many years. The
best method Of resetting is to SOW
about ten pounds Of new seed to the
acre; then go over it with the cutaway
harrow. set at light angle, in both
directions, split the heads of the old
plants and reset with the new seed.
By this means the crop can be pro-
duced continuously for long term Of
years.-G. NJ. Clarke in Country Gen.

The Boom DissOIvings

peared IN the sheep and lamb market,

Prices are still high, but the summit
has evidently been reached. Trade ex-
nerts contend that there is limit to

mutton.
The .'I&no,y How" With Sheep.
Some men find it profitable to feed
sheep simply because they are pos
sessed of the know how" of the bust
ness, and some of them hint that one
man can know this as we'll as another
il he will only put himself in a position
to learn.
Gentle Handling Is Winner.
No hogs or other stock should be al
lowed to run with the flock or in any
way annoy or brighten them. Quiet,
gentle and familiar handling of the
flock will have good influence on the
coming crop Of lambs. No class Of
stock is more susceptible to kind treat
ment than sheep, and it is a pleasure
as we'll as profitable to handle them so.
Lamb Chops.
Look out for early lambs; see that
they do not get chilled.
Separate the heavy ewes from the
rest of the flock and see that there are
no drafts to affect them In the pens
The pen should be warm and dry
and II possible have windows facing
the south, SO that the sun can shine In.
II lambs become chilled they can be
warmed In hot water and then dried by
being wrapped in towel and placed
by stove.
II the eve does not own the lamb
she can be fastened in rack or SO tied
that the lamb can suck when hungry

Oiling a Separator.

In the mechanical operation of a
separator none but the best oil should
be used, and this should not be allowed
to gum or become dirty on the bear
ings. 1t is good practice to flush the
bearings with kerosene occasionally by
making run with kerosene in the oil
cups. This will serve to cut out any
gum or dust that has accumulated In
the bearings and will make the ma
chine run much freer and easier.
