storing for winter.
Frequent watering of the horse when
on the road is good rule.
Poor practice that of feeding the
sheep on the ground, out of doors.
The care the brood SOW receives is
a pretty sure index to the breeders
skill
The straw stack is a good asset.
See that it is built to Withstand the
weather.
There is a growing demand for the
midwinter lamb. Have you ever made
any effort to supply it?
Verify, happy is the farmer who
can think of yesterday without re-
grets and of tomorrow with hope.
Feed and care are the price of eggs.
Can't get the latter without giving
the former, especially in the winter
time.
Pick the brood sows from the ami
mails which show kindly disposition.
The nervous SOW does not make
good mother.
The best butter comes from the
best cream and the best cream comes
from the cows which get the best
care. Remember that.
Is the territory Immediately under
your own hat we'll governed? Remem-
Der he that ruleth his own spirit is
greater than he that taketh city.
Grade your apples for market. The
best will bring better price, and the
others will sell just as we'll as though
the selects were mixed in with them.
Weigh the stuff you sell of the farm
and weigh that which you buy for
use on the farm 1t is only as you
do so that you can sell intelligently
and buy safely.
Be gentle in your treatment of the
poultry. II they fly from you 1t Is the
plainest kind of an Indictment that
something is wrong with your meth
DDS Of handling them.
Do not commit the folly OF trying
to winter more stock than you have
feed for. At this late day better get
rid Of the surplus even at a sacrifice
than try to carry through to spring
On scant rations.
The dairy farm cannot get away
from the Sunday work. But then 1t
Is possible to do much of the work,
outside of the milking Of the cows,
On Saturday or Monday. The effort
should be to reduce the work on Sun
day to the minimum.
Pushed the horse hard to get in
ahead of the storm. That was looking
out for your comfort. After you are in
ook out for the faithful animals COM
fort. Rub him of as dry as you can
and blanket lightly until he has
steamed of, then put on heavier
blanket.
1t is probable that the selection of
the higher ears for seed corn tends
.owards increased size and later ma
.urity, as also the selection of ex-
:remely low ears tends to reduce the
'ize OF the plant. shorten the growing
season and decrease the yield. A
medium height, to be determined by
each grower for his own locality, is
% be desired.
To prevent rabbits gnawing the
.rees of the orchard a wire netting
:an be wrapped about the trunks, or
wash either repulsive in taste or
poisonous can be used to coat the
runks. A wash OF two pounds Of
Woes to eight gallons of water makes
good wash. 1t should be applied a
'econd time during the winter. Rab-
>its and mice may be poisoned by
'lacing bits Of vegetables about the
orchard on which has been placed a
small amount of strychnine.
Save .he liquid manure above all
:hings. 1t contains a great deal of
1aluable fertilizer many times more
han most farmers suppose. To save
his it is necessary to mix it with
some absorbent material or have it
'un into tank from which It can be
aiken to the fields. If allowed to re-
main in the tank in hot weather 1t
will undergo chemical changes which
will largely destroy the fertilizing
qualities. In winter this it not so
likely to occur, but there is always a
LANCER in keeping it, for the reason
mentioned If kept in bulk It should
,e put on the land as often as con-
ienient, but it is better to use it with
,bsoTbents, in which it can be kept
without deterioration as long as
