The farm without its apple tree Ii
. 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 {
large factor in successful dairying ant
stock raising.
Water the milk by all means. Be
sure the water is pure and that 1t Is
introduced into the milk through the
COW.
Quick, nervous moves among the
hens scare them and tend to make
them wild
Cheap salt should never be used in
butter, as 1t contains impurities which
are apt to injure the flavor.
The man who plants 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 recupera-
ton Is difficult
1t Is said that the new rate law Is
working to the advantage of Califor-

ground corn is used
The winter hen needs exercise.

gets, and don't forget to see that she
has something to take the place of
the green food of the summer time.
Some leyel-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
tons of the fruit belt of Michigan one
will find that the farms have not only
been named, but these names have
been tastefully lettered upon sign
boards and placed in the front yard,

runs.
Ever had a shoe that pinched and
ragged you until your nerves were all
on edge, and you were unfit for physi-
cal or mental work? And did 1t ever
occur to you that that chatting part Of
the harness, that 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
the horse feel the same way. The
well-fed horse makes the
best worker.
While butter is abundant and prices
low is good time to put up some for
winter use. Here is the French meth.
cd Of treatment: After working out all
the water, the butter is slowly heated
to the boiling point; then cooked 80
minutes. After cooling a little the
scum Is skinned from the top, and
the butter is poured into dry, sweet
clean jar. When the jar is full sprin
kle the butter with salt, seal up the
Jar with paper and paste, and store
It away from the fire. If the butter
is sweet and good In the beginning, II
win not become strong, or lose its
yellow color, though kept until warm
weather.
