Locality has much to do with the
successful raising Of sheep.

It's the man behind the COW which |
determines the character of the dairy. |
A dairyman's league has been organ
lied by members OF the grange in
northern Pennsylvania.
Nip the tips off new raspberry and
canes to force them to
throw out side shoots and thus be-
come more stocky.
Some one suggests adding a table
spoonful of sugar to the salt when
sailing ten pounds of butter to i'm
prove the flavor. Sounds as though
it might.
The sitting hen which is expected
to hatch eggs and feed mites at the
same time has hard task on hand.
Make her three weeks' vigil as easy
as possible.
If you don't hunt the lice they will
hunt your chickens and keep them
from hunting for insects, and the re-
salt will be that hunt as you may you
your flock.
The time to discover the weak place
in the harness is not when it breaks
at most critical time and perhaps
results in runaway or bad accident,
but is before the harness is put on the
horse. Harness should be inspected
frequently to note and remedy the
weak points -
'The permanent greatness of any
state must ultimately depend upon
the character of it's country popula-
ion."-President Roosevelt True,
indeed, and there is room for i'm
provement among the people of the
rural communities. Ever upward and
onward -..
ITO him who in the love of nature

Communion with her visible forms
She speaks various language"
| and to none more so than to the
farmer who is sensitive to every
sunbeam and every shower and who
loves to see and make things grow.
To defeat insect pests one must be
constantly after them. Keep dope
ready to apply in the pigpen or stable

| sheep regularly, watch the hogs close
ly for lice and provide a cold, dr..
stable for the COWS to- hide from tn
flies.
Prof Woll and R. M. Cow are en-
gagged in an interesting contrOvers.,
over the question, ''the churn versa
the fat test as a means of determin
ing the producing capacity of tn
cow" Better the churn than no tes
at all, but the more scientific and az
curate must be the butter fat ties
ascertained by use of the Babcoc
tester.
The influence of dam upon he
foals may be equal to that of the sir
and in some instance is no dout
much greater, but the average nun
Der of foals produced by mares wi
probably not exceed eight, althoug
some have been known to produce a
many as 18. The average number {
foals produced by stations that. liv
to the, average age of horses is pro-
ably not less than 400. The gener:
influence then of good stallion ma
safely be estimated at many time
that of good mare.
The notion which prevails anon
some farmers that there is MOI
money in thin than in thick crea1
delivered to the creamery, is mi
take. Hoard's Dairyman makes tn
plain in case cited in recent issu
Farmer M. S. delivered 5,001 pound
} of cream containing 817.8 pounds
, fat, average test 1886 per cent. Ha
!; this amount of butterfat been deli
cred in 80 per cent. cream only 2,5;
} pounds would have been delivere
} and 2,445 pounds more Of skimmi
would have had a feeding value equ
to 407 pounds of corn at IS cen
equals $2.43. The cost of hauling Il
2,445 extra pounds Of cream or BIT
termilk to the creamery was $3.50
Thus this man lost, during the yea
on account of his wrong methods,
} total of $9.07, an amount sufficient
/ pay nine per cent. interest on Il
+ price of one of the best hand sepa1
Z tors made.
