NT FARM

Broad-headed horses are the clever
est.
A farm without small fruits-what
a barren, uninviting place it is.
A hole in the stable soon wears a |
hole in your pocketbook
Clean pork cannot be grown in
filthy pens, remember that.
The pig must be a good mathemati- |
clan, for he is good at square root
1t is an old saying that the sheep
never dies in debt to its owner" and
the same may be said of many COWS.
A breeder has made the statement
that there are no dun horses among
thoroughbreds.
Good ventilation will solve the
dampness problem in the poultry
house to large extent
1t is claimed that grapes at two
cents a pound are more profitable
than wheat at one dollar a bushel.
Hard work can be given the we'll
bred, well-cared-for horse earlier than
to the other kind
Study and know your horse, his
strength, his speed, and never force
him beyond the limit
Cool the milk quickly and thorough
ly, and the butter will keep much bet
ter and longer.
Where corn stalks is the main feed
the sheep should be given some
grain and roots to balance the ra-
ton
II is well to remember during these
cold windy days never to leave the
horse tied with his head to the
wind
Heavy wooled sheep should not be
allowed to get wet as the weight of
water is sufficient sometimes to pre-
vent the animals from. rising.
Some of those sweet apples you
don't know what to do with will be
a regular treat to the hogs, and they
make good favored pork.
Many COW is encouraged to kick
by the rough, hasty manner of taking
hold of her teats at the beginning of
the milking operation.
The best milking machine which
man has yet been able to devise is
the four finger and the thumb COM
bination.
Sometimes the obstruction in the
throat of cattle cannot be dislodged
and relief may be found in pouring
down their throats linseed oil or
warmed lard or tallow.
Green food is particularly advan-
tageous to animals that are fed
largely on corn in the winter. Cab
bage, sugar beets, turnips, carrots,
and the like are much appreciated.
Give the horse a dry bed to sleep
on. Clean his stable every day. Sep
arate the wet bedding from the dry.
The wet that is not too much soiled
may be dried and used again.
The tops of sugar beets make ex-
cellent feed for stock, and may be
well preserved in a silo. Sometimes
they are left on the field and the
stock turned In to eat.
Help Is scarce In the south. Only
30 per cent. of the cotton machinery
Is running, as competent help can
not be secured to run the other 2e
per cent.
When the ice gets thick enough is
the time TO begin ice cutting. Delay
may lose you your opportunity and
there have been seasons, you know
when the first chance has been the
last
II is good thing for the horses
hoofs to throw the manure or wei
straw under so he can stand upon II
and keep his hoofs moist, but dom
let the soft manure get packed in the
shoe and stay there.
Make a working map of the farm
noting on each section or plot o.
= ground the crop grown last the
changes that would be advisable IL
rotation, the plots most In need o
fertilizer. where repairs are mos
needed or special work must be don'
during the winter and early spring
In this way the work on the farm
