A POOR PRACTICE.

The practice Of allowing stock to
roam about at will in yards, lanes
or other by-places, which, We are
sorry to say, great many are guilty
of, is a very poor one. Not only are
the neighbors aggravated, but often
times the owner of the stock has his
temper pat to test as well, and
there is a direct loss by reason of
the wasting of a great deal of fertil-
izing material which hardly ever
reaches a place where it can be
made to serve a good purpose. The
place for manure is the soil where
YOU are growing your crops, and the
farmer should make it his business
to see that every bit of manure pro
duced or his farm reaches the place
where it will do the most good.

HAY ON THE ONE-MAN FARM.
On the One-man farm much plan
ming is necessary to enable the single
pair of hands to do the work in a
rush of the hay season without loss
of time. A Michigan farmer has con-
trived a system which enables him to
use modern machinery without hired
help. He mows the grass with a five
foot mower, stirs it with tedder and
then runs side delivery rake, which

of the wagon and pitches up the hay
when the cart is driven forward. The
hay is loaded on sings on the wagon
so that when it reaches the barn it
may be unloaded by horse power.
The farmers little daughter drives
the team when her father is loading
the hay and drives the horse when
the load is being taken off at the
barn. In the barn pole is fixed on
a pivot. so that the man on the load
can swing around the sling of hay
to its desired place by pushing or
pulling the pole.

SIDE PROFITS IN DAIRYING.

Good pasture and plenty of skim
milk bring calves forward rapidly
and in them the dairy farmer finds d
large share Of the profits. 1t is es-
timated that an acre Of alfalfa will
keep cow and hog the year round.
and on small dairy farms should al
ways be found as many hogs as there
are cows. The keep of these hogs
amounts to practically nothing, and
they will bring a neat sum at the
end of the year.
Chickens can be raised on a dairy
farm with greater profit than any
other way. The young chickens
thrive on skim milk better than on
any other food and the laying hens
are more productive. On a ten acre
farm it is no trouble to have 200 or
300 hens and it will be found that
