Make the brood sows take exercise.
Glover, of whatever variety is the
farmers best friend.
Meat fed to the sow which eats her
pigs will keep her from doing so.
New starters may be used every
year and the old comb melted into
wax.
To-day is the time to do good; to-
morrow is soon enough to pay the
grudge.
Let the cloth which is used in
washing the milk utensils be used for
nothing else.
Common sense is the best medicine
you can use in treating the sick ami
NAL on the farm.
The percentage of profit which the
farm returns is proportionate to the
kind of management which it has.
There are vacant places on every
farm where trees ought to be grow
ing for the blessing of future genera
lions.
The old canes pruned from the
berry bushes should be burned, for in
their destruction many insect pests
perish.
The bath which the hen likes best
is the dust bath. Give her the dirt
and she will supply the spraying APP
paratus.
Get in little work in the orchard
while the ground is too wet to work
A little time and good pair of eyes
will see lots to be done to help the
trees into healthy condition.
There is little excuse for the blinds
on horses, but no excuse at all for
the blind that is loose and tapping
back and forth against the horses
eyes,
The farm is big place to lose
things on, which the man who drops
the tool where he happens to use it
last finds out often to his sorrow. Ac-
quire the habit of putting things in
their places.
The feeding of the pigs intended for
fattening should differ from those
which are to be developed for the
breeding pen. Force the growth of
the pigs that are to be marketed and
fatten rapidly by the feeding of rich
carbonaceous foods.
Begin to prepare now for the short
pasture problem which may confront
you next summer Raise some fod-
der crop that will help you over the
critical period. Remember that what
the COW shrinks during such period
is almost impossible to recover, even
by the most generous feeding NE
A beekeeper urges the importancel
of leveling up the apiary, marking out
the paths, etc. This work pays in
more ways than one, and should not
be neglected. Fave everything in
readiness so that no time may be
lost when time becomes valuable IN a
pecuniary sense. This is good man
agement, and absolutely essential to
success
Siberian alfalfa introduced in this
country to supplement durum wheat
in rotative system SO as to avoid
summer following may mark another
epoch in the agriculture Of the north
western prairie regions where rain
fall is slight and the winters are ex-
ceedingly cold because practically the
same conditions exist in the steppes
of Siberia where this alfalfa is native
and where it grows very successfully.
Give the seed potatoes bath In
corrosive sublimate solution made up
in proportion of one ounce Of the sub
Innate to seven gallons of water. This
will kill the scab germs, and If the
planting is on land free from germs,
the crop will not be affected with
scab. The usual way is to put the
potatoes into bag and immense them
in the solution for an hour and q
half. They are then spread out and
dried before planting. Another good
scab remedy is to soak the seed tubers
for two hours in solution Of one.half
pint formalin in Is gallons Of water.

port on the work Of the federal meat
