CHEER Up
When you have finished cutting alfalfa hay,
On bright and cloudiess day.
And you was satisfied it would not rain,
But soon II fell thick and fast on the win
dow pane.
Now the clouds in the skies have run over.
And irrigated all of your cut clover,
But it isn't any use TO worry and fret,
Just because your shocks are wet.
To scatter them means lots of labor and toll
But If you don't. every bit will rot and spoil,
For to stack it damp will never do,
For it would mould through and through.
Be patient till the weather 10 clear and bright
When all clouds have passed out of sight, I
Just weeks good weather and I'll not com.
PLAIN.
In that time 1 can stack my hay. then let
her rain.

have something of the kind! Most
everybody eats too fast. 1t is not a
good habit.
Ii you turn out the colts for an air.
ing let them into a lot where there is
no other stock. Better for the colts
and surely for the other stock.
Nail strips of tin along the edge of
the manger before the colts get the
habit of gnawing it. 1t is hard work
to break a young horse of such a habit.
A cleat an inch thick and three
inches wide nailed up close to the bot
tom of the stall partitions will keep
the plank in place and prevent the
horses from pushing them down.
Have the sides of your stalls well
nailed to place. Horses sometimes find
out that they can crowd the partitions
out of place and once they get that
habit they will make life miserable for
you.
Some horses have way of throwing
their hay out on the floor the first
thing they do after feeding. If you
feed through chute from overhead
you will be free from this difficulty. If
not the best way is to build rack in
front of the horses of round hardwood
poles an inch or two in diameter, run
ming from the manger overhead, firmly
secured at both ends.

NOTES ON SHEEP RAISING

Weed out the flock every year
Give ewes a run in fields in good
weather.
The ram should be full of grit but
not treacherous.
Don't keep too many sheep and keep
none but the best.
Do not keep ewes as breeders after
they are years old.
1t is folly to expect profits from lamb
that are off condition.
The eve should be as near ike him
as possible in characteristics.
Don't buy any sheep from the stock
AS soon as eve turns down the
other side of life she is no longer re-
liable breeder.
While wool cannot be grown at a
pense of producing the mutton.
If you will sprinkle a little salt on
the Canada thistles in the sheep pas
ture the sheep will quickly exterminate
them.
Do not let ewes and lambs run on
I I'D pastures so full of parasites, which
will prove very destructive to young
lambs.
The business of growing young lambs
for fancy trade requires no eXpen-
sfve equipment or elaborate houses. but
good warm pens and scientific care and
feeding.

T. Powell, and which is in fine bear
ing form to-day. These trees have
been kept in condition by spraying
and cultivation. Some people imagine
that when an orchard is once planted
it must, in the course Of nature, pro-
duce fruit without further attention.
But the folly of such belief is shown
in the thousands of dead and unclean
orchards all over the land, pitiful mon
uments to mans stupidity and in
attention.
Orcharding is good business when
conducted as intelligently as any other,
but the orchardist must help his trees
by waging unceasing warfare upon
the scores of enemies which beset them
in all seasons.
When it has been repeatedly proven
that apples will yield from 500 to
1000 an acre according to the methods
of their owners, the Indifference to
this branch Of agriculture is shocking.
One does not need to be an enthus-
last to be successful orchardist. al
though how a man who takes suf-
| ticient interest in his work to make
his orchard successful can help becom-
| ing an enthusiast we cannot under
stand. All that is necessary to make
orchards pay is q knowledge Of the
t principles of drainage, the SOIL cul-
tivation and the habits of insect en-
emies and energy sufficient to pillow
and prune and spray.

FEEDING FARM STOCK

If you must buy economical feeds
make a careful study of their relative
value and buy that which will supply
the largest amount Of digestible mat
ter.
AlfalfJ meal when honestly made is
great iced for cattle or hogs. Farm
erS viewed it rather specifically at first,
but it is bound to make its way into
general favor.
More lambs will be fed in Colorado
on beet pulp this year than ever before.
Farmers out there are learning how to
produce the finest mutton in the world
on pulp and alfalfa without using any
grain whatever.
Eastern farmers are better root grow
ers than those of the west. Having
less land at their disposal they are
forced to grow something to take the
place of grain, and experiments show
that animals can be fattened almost
exclusively on roots.
There is likely to be great deal OF
soft corn in the west this year, but
Iowa experiments few years ago
proved that when reasonably sound II
has excellent feeding qualities. al
though more -aughage is required than
when SOUND dry corn Is fed.

TURNIPs EASY TO GROW

Turnips are easily raised and they
furnish a good, succulent food for cows,
hogs and sheep in winter. 1t is true
that they are low in nutritive elements,
but they are a good appetizer and what
nutrition there is contained in them
is digestible, so that there is no loss
of nourishment when they are fed
Turnips may be grown after an early
potato crop has been harvested, have
seen very nice, large turnips grown
from seeding as late as Aug. 20.
good grade of superphosphate APP
piled at rate of 800 to 400 pounds per
acre will usually prove profitable.
The soil should be made very mel
low and smooth, the seed sown evenly
with special care not to get sod too
thick. Then care should be exercised
not to cover the seed too deep. A very
light barrow or a bush should be
dragged over the ground to cover the
seed.-A. ]. Legg, Albion, w. Va.

bees to become restless and crawl out
side of their hives.
After a number of colonies are put
into a cellar the temperature will be
several degrees higher than it for
merly was on account Of the warmth
of the bees. The bee apartment should
be SO situated as not to be subject to
constant invasion by individuals when
going to the cellar proper for fruits,
vegetables, etc.
If person has a great number of
colonies to winter indoors, it would
no doubt be an advantage to build a
repository in a side hill and have a
doorway at the lower side level with
the ground, so that there would be
no necessity for stairway.
Whenever the weather turns cold
and the indications are for it's con-
| tinuance the hives can be picked up
| from the bottom board and carried
very gently into the cellar.
Great care should be exercised at
this time not to arouse the bees We
do not want them to fill themselves
with honey, as it will probably be five
months or more before they will have
a cleansing flight.
The work can best be performed by
two persons. For carrying the hives
| from the yard to the cellar ] use a
carrier that is made so that two hives
or even three if they are not too heavy
can be carried at once by means OF
1 handles similar to those of a wheel
barrow that project out at each end.
| 1t requires two men to carry them
| n xI,n1y hut No 4; -
some distance from the cellar it is,
think, much better to use something
of this kind instead of a wheelbarrow
as with carrier the bees hardly seem
to know that they are being moved
| Lay on the cellar floor two joists
or wall strips on their edge Place the
hives on them six or eight inches apart
The next tier Of hives is placed on the
top of the first tier, each hive resting
ON The two under it.; the next tier is
followed up in the same way unit
you have them as high as the cellar
will permit.
| The reason for this manner of pilint
is to give the bees ample bottom Ven.
| tilation and to allow the dead bee.
to drop out of the way. This will alst
permit the beekeeper to inspect hi
bees at any time BY taking darl
lantern and holding looking glass
under the hive he can see right up into
the cluster.
Have thermometer in the cellar anc
try to keep the temperature between
40 and so degrees. Visit the celia
OCCASIONALLY to see if the bees are quiet
If they seem to be uneasy at times
little more ventilation will probabl,
