THE FARM, GARDEN AND DAIRY
Little Paragraphs That will Interest Every
Member of the Household

| MSmUSA VI uS AAUuSSHOIu
Take an inventory OF last years mis-.
takes.
Start set OF books Be business
farmer.
We say again, see that the fire insur-
ance policy is good and tight.
Look over your supply of tools see il
they need attention and whether new
ones are wanted.
Don't let the wife crawl out of bed
these cold mornings and build the fires.
She may want to, but don't let her.
The number OF farms in the United
States has increased nearly one-fourth in
the past ten years, according to the GEN.
sus.
In the state OF Washington stations
kept for breeding purposes must be regis
tered and licensed, and the scrubs must go.
This is right.
Prof Fl. E. VanNorman, late of the
Purdue University, OF Indiana, is now at
the head Of the finely equipped, recently
finished 100000 diary building at the
Pennsylvania State College.
In France the best breed of hogs is con-
sidered to be the Craonnals, which often
attain the weight of $50 pounds in fifteen
to eighteen months. A prize pig weighed
1853 pounds at the age of ten months and
twenty-five days.
Begin the new year with the strong
resolution that this season shall see bet-
ter farm garden on the place. Make a
map of the plot, secure the 1906 seed cat
alogues, ,and place your orders early You
have more time now to do this than you
will have later on.
Beware of Agents Wanted" or similar
advertisements that offer alluring posi-
tions. salaries, commissions and "all ex-
penses paid" Many of these elittering
offers are swindles. And if you find that
the advertiser wants a "cash bond"
or "cash security from you in advance,
you will be very wise not to pay it.
The Grange has done good work for
farmers in the past, and is keeping at it
in fine style. 1t gained 60, 600 members
in the last year. 1t is not appreciated as
it nnght to be. Had every neighborhood
a Grange organization, Congress would
dance to Grange music right along, and
Grange music is good music.
Anybody ever tried getting up stock |
company to buy stallion in your neigh
borhood? Pretty risky business. A good |
many men who have gone into that kind
Of speculation have wished they had |
not. II a number Of farmers really want |
to own good horse in partnership,
the best way is for one oftheir number 10
go where good horses. Of the kind desired |
are bred, and buy one. Look out for the
stranger who comes to work up COM
pany at big price.

wit hthe separation Of the govern

authority Of the United States all

Cuba, and this treaty is now pending

The entire matter being one Tor adj

The mode OF the government of

Of 9 mi y 7 9 .,ssss, as
