stock nredip= and Management.

Stock BREEDING and management.
Another method of c~heapening the
expenses is TO use pure breeds and pro-
vide abundant pasturage. Poor pastures
make poor stock. no matter how careful
h breeder may be. 1t viii not do to
endeayor to bring the stock or herd UP
by breeding unless all the conditions
are favorable. The raZor-back hog Is
the result Of poor feeding. and though
man compelled the animal to resort to
scanty heritage, nature fitted him for
the purpose by gradually changing his
form, thus adapting him to the sur
~roundings. We THUS know that eli
mate, soil and the growth Indigenous
thereto are important factors to be
taken into account. and in the breeding
of live stock farmers should consider
well as to what may be needed before
making the effort.
The large mutton breeds of sheer
now weigh twice as much as the or.
binary common kinds, but in securing
size the sheep have been fed on rich
pastures, where everything favorable
for improvement has been in their ia
vor, and they have eve refrigerated
during a single period, but progressed
without difficulty. Hence, If the large
breeds are to be the agents for improv-
ing the common flock. the farmer must
take a look owe the feeding grounds.
The Berkshire hog would starve If COM
PEELED to compete with the land pike
variety. It could not exist under the
same conditions, for it has been bred
away from that sphere, INT it Is of no
use unless adapted to the place which
is TO be it's habitation. The native COW
can exist where the pure-bred animal
might s~tarve, but this is because she is
not required by nature to convert a
large quantity of food into milk. Scan.
ty heritage has dwarfed her milking
qualities, and this has been handed
down from ancestry, but scanty herb
age will not do. The change is up
ward, and the conditions must be
changed to suit the demands Of the
animal.

FAMILY's SKIN TROUBLES.

Eczema, Heat Rash and Scalp ATcc-
tiOns Ahiict Different Members,
But Cuticura Cures Them.
SHY wife had eczema for five or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Clticura Remedies a trial. We
did SO, and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. ] myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. / now
have a very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby,
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
heshy. and we had so much trouble
with heat that we would battle her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up so much quicker than any
thing else. Mr.. II. B. Springmire, 1913

PORTABLE TAHIE. a rotten one. Ap-
pies should be picked into bags or
from these into the barrels or on to
padded baskets and carefully rolled
from these into barrels or on to
the sorting table. A very handy pick
ing bag is made by placing a pebble In
a corner of a grain sack and tying the
corner by means of the pebble to n
sid of the mouth Of the bag. This
makes the bag into a loop, which may
be hung over the neck Of the picker.
The mouth of the bag comes to the
front and is held open by passing a
stiff bent wire under the hen. This
kind of picking bag leaves both hands
OF the worker free for picking. A
gang of pickers will empty their pick
ing bags and baskets directly on to a
portable sorting table placed between
the rows on which they are working.
This table is placed on low truck
wheels and has a single whiffietree, so
that a horse can move 1t to any desired
point as work proceeds. A cut of this
kind of sorting table is here shown. It
should be made large enough to hold
lou less lnul TWO DarfelS OIL Irult. Inc
rear bolster is higher than that at the
open end SO that culls can be rolled.
A long, heavy plank is placed on the
gXound on each side of this table on
which the barrels are set for filling.
The sorters pick the apples from the
table into padded wicker baskets
which have low or folding handles.
which permit of their being placed
down into the barrel before being
dumped. Apples would be greatly in
jured if dumped from the mouth to
the bottom of the barrel. The fruit is
sorted into two grades, first and sec
onds. In sorting exclude all fruit that
are ripe, for if a fruit is ripe at pack
ing time it will soon decay and spoil
it's neighbors. Fruits that are too
green or poorly colored should be left
out, as they are always of inferior tex
ture Il favor. Understood, diseased,
wormy, bruised or misshaped speci-
mems should of course go as culls. The
culls are allowed to roll into a pile
from the lower end of the grading ia
bis.
After being properly ~'racked," to
insure a tight pack, and when ready
for heading, the fruit should stand as

Enrm Notes,

A little lime is an excellent thing to
put in the hogs drinking water.
Profit depends as nue. on the cost
of production as on the selling price.
The good, square walk as a gait for
a farm horse rs the most valuable OF
any.
The rotation of crops does not call
for more blowing. but less, and more
stirring of the soil.
1t is the surplus or increase of price
above the cost of production that adds
to the prosperity Of the people.
The difference between a good and
inferior care taker is everything in the
matter of success or failure in cattle
feeding.
In nearly all cases the offspring of
immature, undeveloped animals is in
ferior to that of mature and full grown
parents.
Where the pungent smell Of am
| monia is noticed as escaping from the
tion Of loss.
Try to have time to stop and chat
with a neighbor occasionally merely a
nod and a grunt are not conducive to a
friendly feeling.
Some men never have money to spare
to buy clover seed or to do tiling with.
Perhaps they invest their money in
something that pays better, but 1t is
! very doubtful.
In one respect the stories we hear
| about the creamery trust and the grain
| growers combine, are like most of the
bad stories we hear about our negh-
bors, they are not true.
The farmer who finds himself over
burdened with work all the time should
stop and Investigate. There must be q

of increasing their laying capacity.
He has the record in this respect. He
claims that he has one hen which laid
252 eggs in one year. In the month of
May she laid an egg on every day but
one. and in thirty-three days laid

Experiments in Fowls for Egsv.

Experiments in Fowls for Eggs.
The New York Experiment Station
studied the effect of different rations
upon the flavor Of eggs. Those laid by
hens fed with highly heterogeneous ra-
ton were Inferior to those from hens
fed with a carbonaceous ration. They
had 4 d~isagreeable flavor and odor. The
eggs and yolk were smaller and the
keeping qualities inferior. In the test
at the Massachusetts (Hatch) Expert
nlent Station to compare cabbage and
clover rowen as the green portion of n
ration for laying hens it was found that
the egss produced on the former ration,
although heavier and possessing a
higher percentage OF dry matter. pro-
tein and fat, v.2:a inferior in flavor
and cooking c%ro't.ics to eggs produced
on the ration containing clover.
A small quantity of chopped wild
onion tops and bulbs We're added to the
feed of q number of hens. After about
two weeks the onion flavor was noticed
in the eggs laid. When the amount of
onion feed was increased the favor was
so prominent that the eggs could not be
used. A week after the feeding Of on
ions was discontinued the flavor could
no longer be noticed.

falling should remain and form n leaf
mold which will act as q fertilizer and
hold moisture during evere winter
