HOW MUCH STOCK IN A PAS
TURE?

Usually there should be sufficient to
keep the grass well fed down. Other
wise, there will be portion that will
grow up and become worthless for
feed. But this close feeding from the
first. which means a better quality OF
grass, will most likely necessitate the
early supply of soiling crops or grain
in order to keep up the flow of milk.
In this way more stock can be kept
and the pasture will present a better
appearance than when there are not
animals enough to keep the grass
properly fed down. Last season dur
ing a drive a fine upland pasture was
brought to notice that deserved atten.
ton. 1t was good plow-land. had been
seeded to grass and turned to pasture.
1t was nice clean field, closely crop
ped, with hardly weed or bush to be
seen. Could our pastures be of this
kin, that could be plowed and re-seed-
ed when necessary, they could be
made much better and more protita-
bic than the general run of them. An
advantage in stocking heavily will be
to keep down all undesirable growths,
and where supplemental feed is given
as required, it should tend to an i'm
proved condition of the pastures.

BUILD SHEDS FOR CATTLE.

Aside from the fact that the cows
have the fresh grass during the sum
mer, the main reason why they are
contented is that they have plenty Of
exercise fresh air and are comfort
able. We hear men say that their
mer, but are very disappointing dur
ing the winter. and some OF these men
are known to be good PROVIDERS that
is, their COWS are reasonably Well fed
during the winter and the ration is
nearly properly balanced The trou-
BILE is that the animals are not COM
fOrtab bic. In too many cases the barns
are cold to the point of freezing; in
other cases they are not ventilated,
and the animals are being Stified with
the foul air Again, some cows are
given little or no exercise during the
winter. If they get any at all it is by
turning them out in the cold barnyacd
to drink ice-cold water Remember
the exercising she'd and before the
COWS go into winter quarters again
have one of these sheds and also ar
range the stables SO they will be
warm and still properly ventilated.
Do this, together with the proper
feeding, and you will find the COWS as
contented and happy as in the sum-
mer time, and they will show you ap'
probation by the milk flow.

EGGS ARE cUPlD's MESSENGERS.
Western Girls Write Names on EN-
and Invite Correspondence.

Perhaps the queerest way of ad.
vertising for matrimonial purposes. is
that of placing names and addresses
on eggs. During each year there are
upwards of 100000 cases of eggs re-
ceived in Denver from Kansas, Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Texas and Colo
RADIO points, and it is safe to say that
$4,000 names and addresses of women
and men with matrimonial intentions
are found in the cases.
Kansas holds the record for having
the most eligibles. Hardly case of
eggs received from Kansas but has
from one to dozen names of young
women DESTROYS of corresponding
with matrimonial intentions.
The system is widely known to
men in the produce business and to
mountaineers. Young women in the
rural districts write their name and
address on the egg. They request the
finder to write them The eggs are
received in Denver, packed and
shipped to the grocery, in which way
the eggs pass through dozens of diff
ferent hands. AS soon as an egg
bearing name is found many take
it upon themselves to answer

LAZY GOOSE.
A QUAINT PLANTATION STORY.
BY GRACE MACGOWAN COOKE,
in St. Nicholas.

America, the nurse girl at Broad
lands plantation, came running one
morning to call the three children and
tell them that wild goose mad
stopped among the fowls in the barn
yard Pate, Patricia and little Isabel
pelted away down the slope toward
the chicken yard, where Aunt Whey,
who always had charge of the fowls,
was scattering cane seed. There ne
stood, slim and dark and differently
shaped from the other geese, yet
plainly akin to them, and gobbling his
share of the breakfast with evident
relish.
"Oh, he's a visitor" cried Patricia,
land they ought to be more polite to
him." for big speckled rooster had
just dashed in ahead Of the newcom-
er and tried to eat up all the seed
in sight.
Never you mind, honey Aunt
Whey treasured the little girl. Dat
wild Teller got strong wing: he gwine
be de biggest frog in de puddle, long
ez he stays hyer."
HE gets his strong wings from fly
ing so far" said Pate. If he was
out in the open, father or Cousin Boil
war would shoot him; but he's home
free here"
will lie stay always, Aunt Viney?"
asked Isabel.
Nom, Miss Baby; 'spect he pick
an Vayhn hn erst Il
bait O. cane seed. Mebbe he'll stay
week-sometimes desc hyer wild fol-
lers does"
AS they turned back to the house
America announced that she knew a
tale about o wild goose, and it was
etraightway demanded; for her atSrac-
ton above that of Aunt Jinsey, the
head nurse, was that she could tell

TO PREVENT PEARS FROM
CRACKING.

The cause of pears cracking while
growing upon the tree is a fungus
which develops in and on the skin of
the fruit. 1t rarely develops upon the
whole surface of the fruit and thus
the growth is retarded in a certain
section which causes the surface 70
crack. The only practical means yet
devised to prevent this is to spray the
trees a number of times while the
fruit is growing with solution COM
posed of one pound hyposulphite OF
soda and ten gallons of water or five
ounces of sulphide of potassium mix
ed with ten gallons of water The lat
ter mixture is preferred by the great
er majority of fruit growers.

CARE OF WORKING HORSES.

CAKE OF NORklNG ttOhSEo.
When you start to the field for a
full days work aim to put in the num-
Der of hours that sensible man
would, and then do just what you can
in that time without injuring your
team. Keep your eyes upon them,
and don't overdo it at first. The
amount will be according to the
weather and other conditions. When
blowing l rest the team at every
round if they need it. 1t is better to
rest minute or so at each round
than to rush the horses through for
an hour, as many do, then rest half
an hour. Don't let the horse get too
hot, but keep him cool instead of cool
ing him off after he gets hot. There
is not as much in the sweating as in
the breathing but watch both. 1t IS
painting that hurts. While resting let
the horses stand with their heads to
the wind, and you do little more
than just sit on the pillow. See that
neither the name or anything else
gets under the collar. The neglect
of this causes many sore shoulders.
and it would be no trouble to avoid 1t.
See that the names are kept buckled
tight against the collar. In short, see
that everything is all right. The
horse should have plenty of water and
salt and the best of feed. but with
many horse owners all are lacking.
Salt should be kept before them in
the stable all the time Water should
be offered three times day and the
best feed obtainable for the purpose
should be given. Feed according to
the amount of work done. On idle
days cut down the grain ration, and
don't forget this: Give the horse one
day out of the week for rest. and don't
drive him all day on Sunday if he has
been worked hard all the week. The
horse needs his Sunday for rest as
we'll as man, and the wise horse own
er will see that he gets it. Act hum
anely to the horse and all the stock,
and do not inflict any unnecessary
cruelty upon them. Cruelty is a sin.
"a righteous man regardeth the life
Of his beast If you want a gentle
tractable horse, begin with him when
he is colt 1t is easy to handle him
then. and he remembers what you
teach him as long as he lives. Plenty

POULTRY NOTES.

Much of the trouble with over fat
hens would be avoided if the pullets
and hens were fed separately.
Hens will get too fat to lay on the
same food, both as regards quantity
and quality, that pullets do well on.
Where both are housed together,
giving each different feed is not very
sAsily dene; but it can be arranged in
