Mr.. Bowser's face went so red that
she looked for a stroke of apOpIexy,
but he managed to hang onto himself
and draw back from the grave. Not
another word was said during the
meal. When it was finished she said:

She entered the sitting room and he

half an hour later she was feeling
sorry that she had said what she had,
and she therefore observed:

Turkey Talk

The turkey having been under the
controlling influence of man but a
comparatively short time retains much
of it's nature and habit found in its
wild state; and because of this the
breeding of turkeys is more difficult
than that of chickens.
The young poults are generally con-
sidered very tender until ten or twelve
weeks old, due largely to the unwise
treatment of the breeding stock in
winter and early spring and to i'm
proper mating.
The young poults require no food
until they are at least "a hours old,
nature having amply provided for.
their sustenance during that time.
Their feed need not differ greatly
from that of young chicks, but much
care must be exercised not to over
feed It is more in accord with their
nature to furnish them food SO they
can not gorge themselves but obtain
it by pecking little at time and
often. d
Poults must be kept dry A yard
made of twelye-inch boards around
the coop is a convenient arrange
ment for keeping them out of the wet
grass. When they are able to jump
out of these pens they are strong
enough to follow their mother in good
weather.
1t is always best to get them under
shelter when a shower comes up, and
if very wet it may be necessary to
take them in by the fire to dry.
The coops must be Kept clean and
free from lice and mites and it may
be well to examine the young poults
occasionally to see that they have
none of those destructive head lice.
A frequent busting of the mother
hen with insect powder is not wasted
effort.
When the poults are feathered out
and the red appears in their faces
they seem to take on new life and
are then as sturdy as chickens.

The Cow and Her Milk

The secretion of milk is sympa-
thetic process; the cows udder is
not full of milk 1t simply is full OF
material to make milk out of; when
she had her calf, with whom she was
in sympathy, she allowed the process
of milk making through her love and
sympathy to go on; but you took her
calf away and she resents it, and
considers it abuse; and when you sit
down to milk her she has no SYM
pathy with you. In fact, she may
hate you for robbing her Of hec babe,
and if she dared she probably would
kick you over Now, | know there
are a lot of old dairymen who will
tell you to hang log chain on her
back or do something in that line; and
in some cases the log chain may at
tract the cows attention and get her
noticing that instead of the mixer
and will allow the milk factory to
start up. The only success ever
had however, was on the line of kind
ness. Give her something she likes
to eat; brush her, fondle her, call her
pet names and try to make her believe
you are just as good as her calf
whether you are or not), and then
she will make some milk for you.
Bathing the udder with warm water
is pleasing to many cows, especially
when the udder is feyerish and ten
der. 1t affords relief, and she likes
to have you do it, and she will re-
ward you with something to drink
simply because you relieve her. Try
it.

Sorghum Winter Food for Stock

Few farmers realize the value of
sorghum as winter food for stock.
Horses, cattle and hogs are very fond
of it. For some years the farmers Of
England and Germany have been using
a low grade of sugar or mOlasses to
mix with the ration of grain fed to
stock, the sacharine matter produce
ing fat and warmth. Sorghum con-
tains the sweet distributed in the
food, and is valuable addition to
the hay or slower which the farmer
has gathered in hay-mow or stack to
feed his stock in the winter.
II yields an immense supply of
feed per acre, so that the farmer need
not keep SO many acres in meadow,
and that is worth considering. Seven
or eight tons per acre are often har-
vested, but from four to six tons per
acre is a conservative estimate
Seed should be drilled in; one hun
dred pounds per acre is sufficient.
From the 10th TO the goth of June is
the best time. II sown earlier it
is liable to grow too rank. 1t should
be cut with a mower in October, left
in the swath two or three days, raked
and cooked up like hay. It may be
left In the cock all winter and fed
as wanted, or it may be put in the
barn, or stack. 1t should be fed be-
fore the first Of March, for after that
time it becomes too dry and stock
do not eat it SO readily.

There is never enough of these plants
to justify the potato bug in growing
large families. When, however, the
granger moved west and brought the
potato with him the bugs were de-
lighted, for they saw that it was full
of marrow and sweetness and all good
things. And as it was itself MEM
Der of the same family upon which
they had fourished for all these ages,
and was grown in vast areas, whole
fields of it, the bug saw splendid
opportunity to increase, multiply, and
replenish the potato fields not merely
of Colorado, but all over the United
States. So in a few years the po-
tato bug became very common, very
unwelcome, totally disgusting and I'M
desirable visitor wherever the potato
plant has been grown in the United
States.
What commotion it would raise
in old ireland il colony OF potato
bugs in good condition should find its
way across the big pond. The Irish
man would see famine staring him
in the face.

The Separator and Good Butter

The separator has come to stay, be-
cause it is good and economical in
strument for the farmer. This is es-
pecially true in Nebraska. Too fire.
quently, however, this privilege OF
lighter work and less. frequent deliv-
cry has been abused. The cream is
allowed TO stand so long under poor
conditions that no man could make
choice butter from it. 1t is now up
to the farmer to produce better
cream or be content with less money.
1t costs just as much COW food and
work to produce pound of ten cent
butter as 1t does a pound of twenty
cent butter.
1t is to be hoped that cream will
soon be graded and paid for accord
ingly, the same as wheat or corn.
/. Keep the cows clean, don't let
them lie in their own filth in the
yard or stable nor wade in stagnant
ponds in the pasture. II is impossible
to strain the germs out of milk when
once they are in. One teaspoonful OF
COW manure contains about twenty
billion germs.
2. Keep the separator clean. Wash
it after each using. Use a brush and
get into the corners. Wash in warm,
soapy water, rinse well in scalding
water and let the pieces dry by their
own heat. A separator that is so

Rape in Corn

Now is the time to think about fall
pasturage for sheep, the stuff that
growth is made on most cheaply.
Many prospective feeders gave thought
to this matter in the spring and sowed
rape in their small grain, which with
second crop grasses will furnish
plenty Of fine pasturage in the fall.
But if earlier sowing of rape was
neglected or if it was thought that
more will be desirable, SOW from one
and a half to two pounds of seed in
the corn just before its last cultiva-
ton, which with the low-growing corn
leaves will furnish most excellent
later fall forage.
Now while the ewes are rearing
their lambs, is the proper time to
observe which are doing that work
best; which has the thriftiest and
most promising lambs. 1t is a good
time now-while the matter is fresh
in the memory-to recall which ewes
yielded the best fleece of wool at the
last shearing. Those that did the

Whence Comes the Potato Bug?

Many of our older readers can re-
member the time when there were
no potato bugs in the Mississippi val
ley. 1t is generally understood that
this is an infection that Colorado sent
upon us. But how? Simply in this
way:
The potato bug has existed for I'M
told ages on the plains, its natural
food being the wild potato and var
ious plants of the tobacco family.

wool bearers should be marked by

so that they may be selected for
preparation for the block. Selections
