COWS FRESH IN THE FALL.

Many have been won over. and now
have their cows freshen in the fail.
This is far .4Iore COMMON in older daiI y
sections than in the newer ones, for it
takes quite a while to overcome the
sentiment that spring is the natural
time for cows to have their calves. IL
has been established that when COWS
come fresh in the fall they milk longer
than those coming fresh say in March
or April. One can give better care 10
both COW and calf during the fall, and
1t is easier TO keep up the flow of milk
during the winter when il brings the
highest price. Then by having cows
coming fresh during the fall their rest
ing spell comes along the next July
and August, just when milk Is lowest,
and when scant pastures and flies usu-
ally cut down the milk flow. Another
thing, most farmers are busy with
their crops during the summer months,
and they cannot give their cows the at
tention they should. For this reason
the cows gradually shrink until they
are not much better than strappers,
and when fall comes 1t is almost i'm
possible to get them back to their nor
NAL flow. The fall fresh COW will keep
up until long about July /.

lu5hEL CRATES.

The man who will take the pains to
look around and observe will find many
ways TO make work easier and In fact
do better work. For years growers OF
potatoes used bGgs in their fields for
carrying the crop TO the wagons or
the storage pit. But some one happen
ed to nail few Stats together, and out
of this has come the crate which is
now commonly used for potatoes and
apples. Scatter the crates about the
potato field. and sort the crop as the
potatoes are put into the crates. This
saves any further handling, and the
crates are ready to SO to the winter
cellar or to the car to be shipped. These
crates hold bushel, when level full,
OF apples or potatoes. They are easily
handed and afford good ventilation.
They are usually made of 17x15x13
inches, outside measure. Use half-inch
lumber, with inch square corner posts.
Amy tough wood will do Such crates
may be bought, knocked down, at from
12c to 16c each, and they will last a
long while, If they are properly taken
care of when they are not in use.

FREAK EGGS.
From the Molasslne World.

From the Molasslne World.
The stories told by poultry keepers in
regard 10 the laying OF eggs are in danger
Of becoming viewed by the public In the
same suspicious light as the tall yarns Of
fishermen.
1t is announced that an egg laid by hen
belonging TO a coastguards office at
Bridgeport measured rs inches by Ga
inches, another of similar size picked up
in farm yard at Fcnny Stra atford was, on
being opened. found to contain a perfectly
formed second egg. The record monster
chickens egg is believed to be one Of 50
inches by inches and Weighing 5 ounces.
The most freaklsh eggs are attributed to
ducks. The Weston Park museum, Shelf
field, has ducks egg which contains an
other smaller one inside, and still great
er curiosity in a twin egg, the two being
joined together end to end.
In a museum at Paris a curious four
footed goose lays an egg which is in
variably msshapen and the shell Of which
is 80 brittle that it breaks If touched. All
efforts to preserve these eggs have been
futile.
An egg apparently in a state of perfect
preservation Is reported to have been
discovered embedded in the mortar of an
ancient church near Paris. AS the wall
had been standing for fully 500 years the
eggs must have been undisturbed for all
that long period.

The Story of a Medicine.

Its name-"Golden Medical Discovery"
was suggested by one of its most import
ant and valuable ingredients - Golden
Seal root.
Nearly forty years ago, DR.. Pierce dis
covered that he could, by the use Of pure,
triple-refined glycerine, aided by a GER
tain degree of constantly maintained
heat and with the aid OF apparatus and
appliances designed for that purpose, ex-
tract from our most valuable native me-
dicinal roots their curative properties
much better than by the use of alcohol,
so generally employed. So the now world
famed "Golden Medical Discovery" for
the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or
dyspepsia. torpid liver, or biliousness and
kindred arrangements was first made, as
1t ever SINCE has bSen, without o particle

GOING 1T BLIND.

Every report from fieldmen who in
spect dairy herds and methods of feed
ing and care Of milch cows shows that
the great bulk of cows which are now
pastured on lands valued at 500 per
acre and fed stuff worth from SIS to
$22 per ton, are making no profit for
their owners. The operations just
about pay for feed and labor and leave
nothing to apply against deterioration.
There is really no excuse or necessity
for doing business this way year after
year, for a simple test showing just
what each individual COW is doing will
size UP the herd and reveal the cows
which are actually losirg money for
their owners every day they are MIXED.
Just think what it means. The major
ity Of cows do not give 140 pounds of
butter fat during the year. That fig
ure just about represents what ii costs
to feed and care for q COW twelve
months. The standard should be $50
pounds a year, and with some culling
and breeding along sensible lines it will
take only three or four years to raise
most any herd to that standard. Su-
perior herds comes from the use of
good bulls; then feed for milk capacity
with a few good cows and heiters. it
will not take long to establish a paying
herd.

CARE OF IMPLEMENTS.

met a farmer a few days ago who
was hauling two-ton load on a wagon
which had been used for eighteen years,
and from ali appearances 1t was good
for hard service for many years more.
That wagon never stands out In the
open yard. When not in use it is un-
der a shed, away from the rains and
sun. 1t is painted every three or four
years, and the tires have been re-
placed three times. 1t had good ma
terial in it and paint and care have
kept 1t sound. Drills, harrows, planters
and all other machines which will not
be used again probably until next
spring, should be drawn under an open
shed and overhauled before they are
stored away. Paint all the woodwork
carefully, tighten up the bolts, and then
when the paint is dry put them all
under good water and rain-p"oof shelf
er. This means that your machinery
will last two or three times as long
and. besides, everything will be in fiji
condition for service whenever it is
needed.

During the trial of the libel suit

DIR. Lee HI. Smith, Vice-President OF the

and he stated that he know such way
the fact because of his professional ex-
perience and the many thousands of
women whose ills, to his personal
knowledge, had been cured by this

This experience of DR.. Smith was corrob-
grated by the standard Medical Authorities.

The orchard may be a good place for
the calves, but it is not a good place
TO keep the feed pals. The pals, from
which the calves are fed, should be
taken in and scalded and summed every
day. Don't leave them lying around
the feeding yards.
At this season of the year we hear
frequent complaints OF tests made at
cr2ameries. There Is only one thing
for a dissatisfied patron to 60, that is
to get Babcock tester and test his
own cream. Simply finding fault and
making up butter at home win not To-
cate the trouble nor help matters. But
the Babcock tester Will tell the secret.
Let the barns and hay sheds be
cleaned Of all musty hay or straw now.
Put in the fresh crops on clean bot
toms, and see that the cows are given
q square deal on the hay question.
Alfalfa is n diftcu.: crop to cure
nicely. But 1t Is well worth working
for, as it has a feeding value equal to
$50 ton bran. Some cheap crops will
help take care of the alfalfa. These
crops reed not cost more than $25 per
hundred.
Plenty of pure water is essential to
good flow OF milk. Driving the COWS
rast the water tank. on their way to
and from pasture is not enough. The
water supply should be where the COWS
can have easy access TO 1t any time
during the day.
Another reader asks what is the best
dairy COW. Never mind the breed
There are good individuals amongst all
breeds. but the best COW is the one
that produces the greatest amount OF
butter fat from given amount of feed
A COW may be great feed consumer
but still not be worth shucks.
Good grain and good hay will always
return more money to the grower when
fed TO dairy cows than when sold on
the market.
A herd OF dairy COWS require a
variety, of food, 1t Is a splendid incen-
tive TO crop rotation and that Is the
best thing for the farmer.
No man Is ever justified in using a
Grade bun in his dairy herd. Instead
nf grading upward you are sure "a
