duce the profits In swine growing
Harsh treatment of the COW In
more than apt to decreases the milk
flow.
Cold hands on the udder of SEN
sitive COW are more than apt to make
her kick.
It hurts the sheep and It does the
fleece no good to catch the animal
by the wool.
The only phase Of the dairying in
dustry which is overdone is the keep
ing OF poor cows which return no
profit.
Don't use the cows udder for
hand warmer. Begin your milking
after you have warmed your hands
up with other work.
The space In the hives should be
suited to the size Of the colony, espe-
the colony is apt to be weak.
During the short days of winter It
may be necessary to do some Of the
chores after dark, but now that the
days are longer, plan to have the days
work end with the coming of night
Put yourself In the other animals
place. Do unto thy horse and thy
COW as thou dost think thou wouldst
like to be done for II in their place,
Is golden rule for the stock raiser
Homegrown seed carefully cleaned
and graded Is more valuable than
seed brought in from abroad. For this
reason the tanning mill, even though
1t be only hand-power one, should be
found on every farm.
The II guess" method is the one too
often followed by the farmer in the
running of his dairy, IN the growing
of his livestock, in the raising Of his
crops.
Progress in agriculture, declares
Prof. Cyril G. Hopkins. demands that
to the greatest possible extent prac-
tice shall be controlled by science, not
by chemistry alone, but by every
science that deals with principles fun
damental to agriculture.
II tuberculosis has gained a foot
hold in your dairy herd separate all
affected animals from the healthy
ones, thoroughly disinfect the barns,
and then establish better sanitary
conditions.
Compare the appropriation of $4,000
made by this government for expert
ments looking to the improvement Of
draft horses with that of $350,000
made by France for the same pur-
pose, and then Judge which Is the
most interested in the subject.
Prof. H. II. Bailey of Cornell uni
versity says: II believe in the organ
schools, but also believe that the COM
mon school must take up agricultural
instruction in it's parliamentary princi-
PIES" He predicts that the common
school system in the next ten years
will be redistricted and reorganized.
In Denmark the children pass from
the elementary schools to the agri-
cultural and dairy high schools, Of
which in that little country there are
no fewer than 81, So of these receiv-
ing state assistance. More than 100
teachers, chiefly male and female stu
dents of the University of Copen-
hagen, without payment. give lectures
and demonstrations in different parts
of the country to working men and
women during the winter.
Preparation of seed bed and the
time of planting have much to do
with the success OF the bean crop.
The ground should be plowed early
and then narrowed or dragged every
week until time for planting. In judg-
ing the conditions under which the
seed should be planted 1t should be
kept in mind to have the beans start
promptly after planting and to keep
them growing to maturity.
Now Is the time to prepare your
Bordeaux mixture and get the spray
ing apparatus in shape. The former
is made in the proportions of two
pounds of copper sulphate and two
pounds of fresh lime, to so gallons
Of water The first spraying should
be done in the spring as soon as the
buds begin b swell. This will de-
stroy the fungus that produces leaf
curl of the peach, scab Of the peach
and brown rot. The second spraying
should be given after the petals fall.
The treatment as applied to cherry
trees helps to control the leaf spot
and the powdery milder.
