The value of the horse is largely de-
pendent on his gait. For this reason
see that the colt is taught to walk
fast.
Think how you feel about it your
self: You would not sell your best
COW, neither should you expect the
other fellow would do so.
Turnips are a questionable feed for
the COWS as the flavor is apt to be I'M
parted to the milk. They are good
feed for the other stock, however.
Feed them.
Have the children gather the fallen
limbs, chips, etc., lying around and put
them under shelter before the fall
rains come. They make fine kindling
and the place will look better with
the rubbish cleared up.
In moving the plow to the field use
a pillow skid-it is easy to make one
from curved sapling-and make the
task an easy one as we'll as avoiding
the risk of breading the mold board
or straining the shares.
The time to plow is when the soil
is just moist enough to crumble nice
ly. If the land is plowed then 1t will
be found that the work can be done

There is yet a great host of farmers
who are not convinced of the prOflta-
belness Of the cream separator. Well,
every man must decide for himself,
but it is certain that those who have
used the separator never want to go
back to the old methods of cream sep
aration.
If you are planning the planting of
trees along the roadside, and this is
splendid thing to do, remember that
the trees with high growing trunks
are best. Such trees do not have low
hanging branches to interfere with
passing teams, and it gives the sun
chance to work on the road and dry
up the mud puddles after rain.
Good ventilation in the dairy barn
is essential to the production of pure
milk. The spread of tuberculosis dur
ing recent years has been in large
part due to the shutting up of COWS
in close stables, where all must
breathe the same air and the same
germs. In such stable a single tu-
berculosis COW will spread the disease
to the whole herd
1t is said that the increasing use of
vegetab] 5 is tending to the lengthen-
in the life of the caucasian race.
When populations were more sparse
than now, animal food and fish were
easier to get than now. Only in late
centuries have such vegetables as
potatoes, tomatoes and many forms
of cabbages come into general use.
1t is certainly true that the eating of
fresh vegetables greatly assists d.
gestion of all foods.
Friend Thorson delivered himself of
this bit of wisdom the last time I
saw him: "Some men amt fit to own
COWS. They don't treat 'em right.
But take away the milk and the
cream and the butter and their meat,
and don't give 'em even a smell of
cheese, and they'd begin to realize
what the COWS were doing for them"
Thorson is one of those fellows who
believes it pays to be kind to your
stock; to see they are sheltered from
the sun, have plenty of fresh water,
and are protected in some way from
the plague of flies. And it does!
According to an English scientific
journal milk poor in fat is as valuable
a food as milk rich in fat. The fat
percentage, the popular standard by
which milk is judged, is most valuable
while the proportions of the albumin
oids, sugars and salts vary but little in
the different samples of milk. In
other words, while the energy-produc-
ing and heat-giving qualities of the sew
eral kinds of milk may be great or lit

remain very much the same in all
varieties of cows milk Thus thin
milk is for all purposes, save for en-
ergy and heat production, as valuable
a food as the so-called "rich" milk. In
deed, it not infrequently happens, as
the experimental feeding of young
growing animals has shown, that a
thin milk may prove, in the long run,
more flesh forming than rich milk,
mas much as the former is less liable
to induce gastro-enteric disorders. Let
us consider what this means: It
means, first of all, that the enormous
quantity of skimmilk produced in Eng
