HERE AND THERE.

A Tennessee farmer believes he has
the largest turkey in the United
States. 1t weighs 50 pounds.
The great advantage of keeping
pure-bred poultry rather than cross
breeds is that the chickens are uni
form, and customers prefer to buy
them.
Every pound Of grain or other food
fed to animals on the farm compen-
safes for the loss of the elements of
fertility removed from the soil by
growing crops
Central Kentucky is the greatest
Embarrassing section in the world,
and it is from there that at least l.
600 600 pounds were shipped to Boston,
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
for the holiday season.
The perfect roadster is essentially
an American production. Enterprising
men have developed the ideal animal.
The work has been crowned with sue

the head of roadsters, ard trotters as
well.
Any system of agriculture that does

Earth worms are very humble, but
earnest and useful friends of the farm
err. As fertilizers of the soil they are
invaluable, continually turning over

for the rain and gaseous matter to

No kind Of land should become poor
from cropping, Every time a crop II
removed something should be applied
to the land to return the plant food

FEEDING THE DAIRY COW.
Two Common Mistakes In Feeding
COws-Bnlanced Ration TO
Produce MIX.

There are two common mistakes
made in feeding cows; first, not feed
ing literally enough; second feeding a
ration not properly balanced 1t has
been found by experiments that about
sixty per cent of what a COW can eat
is necessary to merely maintain her
without producing any milk or gaining
in weight This being true, it is evident
that it is not economy to feed only a
title more than this sixty per cent,
needed to keep up the cows body
Below are given balanced rations
that will furnish the materials neces-
sary to produce milk in about the right
proportions. BY the term "rations'
Is meant the feed for twenty-four
hours. II COW will not give a good
flow of milk in the early part of the
milking period, when fed a liberal
amount Of these rations, it indicates
that she is not adapted by nature to be
a dairy animal, and she should be dis
posed of. The amounts given are con-
sidered about right for a COW giving
from twenty to twenty-five pounds of
milk per day. For heavy mixers these
rations are to be increased, and re-
duced for lighter mixers. In making
up these rations it is designed that the
COW be given practically all Of the
rougbness she will eat, and then suf-
fclent grain is added to furnish the
necessary amount of digestible mate

INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS.

A great many lives are unnecessarily

truthful it is a dangerous condition Of
the lungs, but with the knowledge Of
the right kind of treatment to be
given, can be overcome. II is gen.
orally supposed that if one has a deep,
strong voice and has the apparent ca,
pacity Of taking full, deep breaths by
bullying out his chest, that his lung
capacity must be great also As a mat,

1t is the muscles of the chest and the
diaphragm that are the controlling ee.
