NI FARM
By AzMs;, III

'Na' " IN - a
The farm without its apple tree is
a reproach to any farmer.
After the long, hard days work the
horse is entitled to a good clean, soft,
dry bed. Does he get it?
The pure, clean water pail is a
large factor in successful dairying and
stock raising.
Water the milk by all means. Be
sure the water is pure and that it is
introduced into the milk through the
COW.
Quick, nervous moves among the
hens scare them and enc to make
them wild.
Cheap salt should never be used in
butter, as it contains impurities which
are apt to injure the flavor.
The man who plants a tree is wise,
but the man who plants an apple tree
Is doubly wise, and thrice blessed.
Arrange It so that the cattle can
have free access to salt, as it will then
be eaten in smaller quantities at a
time as they need it.
Fall work is necessarily heavy, but
have a care that you do not tax the
muscles to the point where
Cion is difficult.
Ii is said that the new rate law is
working to the advantage of Califor-
MIA fruit growers, as each road must
provide its system of refrigerator cars.
The cause of notifies in butter has
been attributed to various conditions,
among them the presence If butter
milk and the Uneven distribution of
salt.
Corn ground, cob and all, will give
better results than when the cob is
left out, as more nutriment will be
gotten out of the feed, than when pure
ground corn is used.
The winter hen needs exercise.
Make her work for all the food she
gets, and don't forget to see that she
has something to take the place of
h green food of the summer time.
Some level-headed enthusiast of the
apple has said that what iron is to
the metals, and Michel Angelo to the
artists, and Shakespeare to the poets,
the apple is to the fruits.
Name the farm. OF course! Why
not? Let some striking feature of the
farm suggest the title, In some sec
lions of the fruit belt of Michigan one
will find that the farms nave not only
been named, but these names have
been tastefully lettered upon sign
boards and placed in the front yard

runs.

cal or mental work? And did it evei
occur to you that that chatting part OF
the harness, hat poorly fitting collar
that, presses on the windpipe, that bit
that is drawn up too tight in the
mouth, that illy-shod hoof making
painful almost every step, may make
che horse feel the same way. The
comfortable, Well-fed horse makes thu
best worker,
While butter is abundant and prices
tow is a good time to put up some fol
winter use. Here is the French meth
cd of treatment: After working out al
the water, the butter is slowly heated
to the boiling point; then cooked 81
minutes. After cooling a little thu
scum is SKINNED from the top, an,
the butter is poured into a dry, sweet
clean jar. When the jar is full sprin
kle the butter with salt, seal up tn
Ear with paper and paste, and stor'
1t away from the fire. If the butte
Is sweet and good in the beginning, 1
win not become strong, or lose it
yellow color, though kept until warn
weather.
