Farm Notes from the Empire State.

Farm Notes from the Empire State.
Although 1t 10 winter, do not forget to
salt the animals at the barn. believe
that this Is very important for their
greatest thrift. By sprinkling little
salt on the poorer quality Of hay as 1t ID
fed to them, they will eat it up cleaner.
I consider it much better way Of salt
ing, to thus give little every day or two,
rather than larger quantity, say once
week. There is no doubt in my mind
about this being the better way.
No farmer should think of getting
along without being q subscriber to at
least one good agricultural paper and
more would be better, but the fact 10,
We find farmers in most communities
who do not take farm paper at all.
How can they be 80 blind to their own
interests? In many things such farmers
are working at q disadvantage. They
need little missionary work.
Strange how fast the seasons roll
around. It seems but very short time
since we were looking over the seed
catalogues and selecting the seeds for
1906, and now we will soon be doing it
over again. These bright ANNALS are
always interesting and farmer can be
scarcely up-to-d date without giving them
some thought. As to seed novelties, it
is far from wise to invest in them very
largely, but good plan to try few on
a small scale. 1t adds an attraction to
garden or field and besides, It IL possible
that you may find something valuable.
Years ago, in New Hampshire, it used
to be the custom among farmers to do
great deal of visiting in the long winter
season and there is no question but that
it is q good plan for farmers to visit
among themselves moro than they do at
the present time and compare notes on
past seasons operations and discuss
plans for the coming season. Look over
the live stock and observe methods of
management on the different farms.
Perhaps ideas may be gained that will
be of use on your farm. We should al
ways be on the lookout for these.
1t is useless for man and his wife-I
mention the wife because she must be
equally interested to make a success of
the business-to engage in farming in .
half-hearted way; they must take hold
ambitiously and have grit enough to
stick to it and win out. There is no
other vocation at the present time hold
ing out so many inducements to the
young as does agriculture when con-
sidered as to its possibilities.
Try to make the farm do better by you
this year than it did last, and in order to
realize this it will perhaps be necessary
for you to do better by the farm. 1t is
best to look the situation over and see
what can be done.-F. Il. Dow in Maine
Farmer.

When a young farmer buys 4 few
pure bred sheep that cost him good
money, he will be moro interested In
their offspring than has been the case
with the old flock, will feed and care for
them better, will watch their develop
ment more closely. and note points OF
excellence moro sharply. Az a result,
they will thrive better and make him
more money. Just the same with all
kinds of domestic snimals.-Maine
