Old blood is thin and for that rea-
son the old horse should have warm

Use a stallion with a good pedigree
and don't use him unless he is an eX-
cellent individual.
Cream rising is actually arrested at
the first stage of acidity long before
| the milk thickens.
A good standard of richness of milk
cannot be maintained without the use
| of a variety of foods.
| Light in the poultry house IS almost
as necessary as proper food, when the
| health Of the fowl is considered.
| An ounce Of change Of diet is often
| worth more to an ailing pig or other
animal than a pound Of medicine.
Never neglect any one of the small
details about bee keeping. You can
not afford to if you want to be sue
| cessful.
Dehorning the bull does not remove
| all the elements of danger. vicious
| bull is dangerous even though he has
| no horns.
Uneasy lies the head where there is
| a large number of good hogs in the feed
| lot, when the cholera breaks out in the
| neighborhood.
Valuable as blood is in breeding, it
| has very necessary adjunct and that
| is individual merit. Pedigree is of lit
| tie value in itself unless backed by
| individual merit.
Nothing else will stir up trouble with
| the neighbors quite SO quickly as to let
| your stock roam over their fields. Keep
up the yards and fences in good shape
and avoid trouble.
The best interests of sheep hus-
bandry does not so much call for ex-
traordinary weights as they do for the
production Of muttons of moderate
| weight and choice quality.
If pigs begin to show an out-of-cOn-
dition appearance don't think Of medi-
cine the first thing. See if some mis-
take in feeding or care cannot be dis
covered, and if it is, correct it.
A man says his boy fell off the farm
recently and in falling fell into bad
company and landed in the town Gala
falls out with work, he usually falls
in with mischief.
The old horse works contentedly for
his board and clothes. If one will only
stop to think of the value received from
a good old horse he certainly will not
withhold the best of treatment. Farm
faithful as the horse.
In cities of large area and even sur
faces auto trucks will rapidly displace
large number Of work horses, but
carriage teams, drivers and saddlers of
good kinds are never likely to be pro-
auced in numbers large enough to sup
ply the demand.
In the meantime make plans to build
but little new wire fence until your
dealer can assure you that it will last
at least some longer than it requires to
put it in place. Manufacturers will
| make q better grade of wire when it is
demanded; not before.
Saving garden seeds is something
that should be carefully looked after
in every home where there Is to be a
garden. Many kinds of seeds will mold.
Such should be put up in mosquito bar
stuff. Every package should be labeled
SO that there will be no unwrapping

Many colt has tough time in the
winter and comes through in the
spring like a skeleton clothed in WOOL
The colt, of course, suffers and will
never recover in yigor and strength.
The owner suffers in pocket. II he
sells the colt he will get less for him;
