Regularity in feeding and work
| makes long-lived horses.
Irregular feeding makes thin horses,
no matter what quantity is given.
There are many reasons why you
should dairy and none why you should
not
A dairy farmer raises more grain
and better grain and gets a higher
price than anybody.
Dehorn the calves when a few days
| old and the cows and bull in cool
weather after flies are dead.
Don't set the new orchard where
the old one stood. Orchard grounds
need rotation as we'll as any other
soils.
Dairy animals require proper exer-
else, fresh air, pure water, shelter,
gentle treatment, and comfort, as well
of no III OH food
Overcrowding = keeping constantly
-overstocked with larger number than
| you have room for-is the besetting
sin Of a great number of poultry
men.
Cause the pigs to fear you not, es-
pecially those intended for brood
sows; they should be assured that
their keeper is a kind, considerate
friend Even hog appreciates such
a friend.
Sheep cannot live on nothing, but as
they eat some grasses and many weeds
that cows do not, they will do we'll on
pastures that are entirely insufficient
for COWS. Don't forget to salt them
as often as they want it.
| When you want to fatten sheep, do
not throw in a great volume OF feed
| at one time; they Will waste it and
! also be disguised with it, Give them
| just enough to eat up clean and no
more, and they will stay on their feed
and fatten up fast.
If you will breed part of your cows
to come fresh in the winter, you will
| find it profitable A farmer who
makes really good butter can sell it
| for 35 and 40 cents all winter to prl-
vate customers. That is positive
fact and can be proven.
Give pigs succulent food and exer-
else, clean, grassy beds to sleep in,
and fresh pure air to breathe, and
there is but little complain about dis
ease. The nearer these conditions can
be duplicated in winter the less dis
ease there will be to complain Of.
| corn would be to go into the field
with a sack over the shoulder and
walking between two rows of corn
and watching them both, taking the
best ears from the best stalks as
| they appear. This work may be done
! when the ears are of medium ma
| turity and before corn will do to crib.
| The asparagus bed should be NOW
ed and the tops burned before the
| seeds fall, otherwise the seed will
grow and overstock the bed with fee
| BILE plants The bed should be COW
cred for winter with heavy coat of
manure for protection, and in spring
rake off the coarse part and work
the rest into the soil.
An apple grower says this about
boxes for apples: 1t is easily ham
| died and quickly packed. In the
instances of the small shipper, who
may not have fruit of the different
varieties enough to fill an even num-
| Der Of barrels, the box enables him
| TO snip pfdctlcdIly an VI cdSh Mill.
Fruit packed in a box shows to good
advantage and needs little disturb
ance of contents in making examina-
/ ton.
In France the wagons used by the
merchants and farmers have wheel
1 tires ranging from 3 to 10 inches in
width, the most usual width being
from to inches. The large freight
wagons -four wheeled have tires rare
/ " narrower than 6 inches, and the
rear axle is about II to Il inches
longer than the front axle, so that the
rear wheel tracks will lap the tracks
| made by the front wheels, and so
widen the space of roadway rolled by
