DON'T BE A PLUNGER.
"Be Sure You Are Right, and Then
 Go Ahead"

The blacksmith who would thrust an edged tool, blow and a horseshoe in the fire all at the same time would be apt to spoil all of them. He would show as much wisdom as farmers who endeavor to do three or four things, each of which is a specially. We know a young man, says the ProSres- siye Farmer, brought up on a farm. He is industrious. But he read up on poultry and incubators and thought it would be fine to have 100 CT 4y chickens falling over each other To get out of their shells We have never heard of him getting any b9oiI- CTS. An incubator might be bought from him at bargain. There is an other man who has quick, penetrating mind, and he catches on to correct methods of doing things. But he has an orchard of several hundred trees, had bees, and ran truck farm be- sides his regular farm He attempted all this work with little help con- sequently he does not succeed. Rais- ing chickens with the aid of an incu- bdtor and brooder Is Speclaity 50 is an orchard and truck farm. These are very exacting. The work has to be done at the right time. An expert is required to do it. No farmer can give up his main work for these spe- ciaI crops. No grower of truck can attend to cotton and corn farm at the same time. The old saying, Jack of all trades, good at none," is espe- cially applicable to farmers.

snm Some Oats For Hay.

Have you got corn enough to feed your stock until next October? If not. take Charles Cotton MoOOre's ad- vice and sew oats for hay. Put them on good land and manure or fertilize them we'll. You can begin cutting and feeding any time after they head out, but cut the whole crop just as it reaches the dough stage. We have never fed anything that stock and cat tie relish so well.
 You remember 1901 was a wet year. The first of January, 1902, we had 30 bushels of corn, and two mules and three pigs and a family of five to feed. By pursuing the method out lined above, We kept our mules fat, carried our pigs along and arriver at October with about three pecks ot corn left. Necessity forced us to adopt this method, and it has proved so profitable we have been following it ever since.
 But we do not stop with the crop of oat hay We follow with peas, or peas and sorghum, and thus get two crops of hay per year. Theoat hay will come on earlier if sown in fall, and the land improved if crimson clover is sown with 1t. All should be cut when crimson clover is in full bloom. This is OUT method.-Writer in Progressive Farmer.

Don't Overfeed Horses,

Many farmers make the serious mis. take of feeding their idle horses too heavily during the winter As this is a season when they do too little work, too much food is dangerous, just as too much work is in the sum- mer. In addition to this, we are apt to forget that horses need exercise After working hard all summer and fall, it is a mistake to put them in the barn and feed them all they can eat The inevitable result in such cases is that the horses get too fat, and when it is time to commence the spring work they are in poor con1i- ton. Unless the weather Is very SC were, it is a good plan to keep horses out of doors a good part of the day. A small pasture or lot convenient to the barn is a good place to let them run. If they are not needed for road work, it is also a good plan to re move their shoes. In pleasant weath- CT they should be turned out in the stalk fields, or better still, into blue grass pasture that was all sowed to grow late in the fall. Even if the ground is covered with snow, horses will paw it off and get at the grass. Four or five ears of corn and two or three quarts of oats twice day are sufficient for horses that are idle - Journal of Agriculture.
