prove the quality.
1t is said that the lawyer carries his
mistakes to the supreme court, while
the doctor buries his, and the editor
lays them onto the printer.
Cattle have four stomachs, while the
pig has but one, and when you stop 10
think about it you will readily observe
that both cannot be fed alike.
In just about nine cases out Of ten
it is the man who grumbles over the
hard work hat makes the most fuss
when a rainy day brings a chance to
rest and recuperate.
The pens should be cleaned each day
to avoid a filthy condition and to keep
the hogs comfortable. Bright Oat straw
should be used for the beds; and the
straw needs to be kept fresh by being
changed every day.
A good ideal for some of the young
farmers just starting out is this one
recently heard: A small farm thor
oughly cultivated and prosperous; O
clean kitchen and a honey" parlor
with a neat wife In charge.
If you want TO teach a horse to walk
fast, put him by the side of a horse
that has a good gait. If the slow walk
er has any spunk, he will spring in 10
keep up, and gradually strike a faster
pace. Some horses are ike some men,
they cannot be educated.
One Of the advantages of having the
cows come fresh in the fall is because
that Is time that you can take the best
care of them; in addition, that is the
tme you can keep the flow of milk
ktter than at any other time Of the
gear, and that Is the time of the year
that milk brings the highest price.
When hens have been laying for quite
q while, the eggs at the close of the
prolific period will not produce as
strong chickens as those that were laid
at the beginning Of this period. 1t is
claimed the layer begins to diminish by
this continued effort and the eggs are
not sufficiently endowed with vitality
near the last Of the litter.
Dairying requires close attention and
fbo constant nra~a,oa Of doirvpoou NJ
his post of duty. Any neglect Of the
cows or OF the milk and butter must
necessarily lead TO losses-loss in the
quality Of the milk and butter and loss
in the amount and quality of the flow
OF milk. which each COW may be ex-
pected to give If treated properly.
All the stables should be on the
south and east side of the barn build
ings, so the warm sun can penetrate
to every corner. In parts Of the coun,
try where the winters are not severe
open sheds facing the south are CON
sidered sufficient shelter for young
stock. However, doors should be pro-
vided to close during storms and In es-
pecially severe weather.
Sometimes II takes quite a whack
over the head to get our attention. II
Is so with the a who scrimps his
COWS on iced, thinking that by doing SC
he is saving money. First he knows
down goes the quantity of milk, and
worse than that, the teat slips back
Then he finds that he has fooled him
self, instead of fooling the cow. No
body ever fooled a COW that way very
long.
Almost any number Of fowls may be
kept Upon the farm II it is large enough
to accommodate them. But they must
invariably be colonlzed in small groups
of not over forty or fifty to one house
or lot. Each colony is then kept sep
arete from the other to be tended and
cared for as II they were on separate
farms. Any attempt to keep a large
number In one flock Is certain to result
