Why SOME FARMERS FAIL.

While travelling around Wisconsin a
few years g | was struck with the
businesslike methods of most farmers,
and the general air of progressiveness
that n would see almost everywhere.
here and there one would see a
exception. We drove into one farm
yard where everything presented the
most forlOrn appearance imaginable.
most forlorn appearances; and, al
though it was in n section where the
thermometer goes to 20 degrees below
zero, there were no walls or anything
else to prevent the snow and wind from
whistling under the building from me
side to the other. The machinery and
tools were scattered about; the stables
were miserable affairs, and everything
looked as if it had been neglected. In
the granary was stored 500 to 500
bushels of nice oats and about 1000
bushels of barley. BY luck the oats
were dry, but the barley was burning
mp. 1t had heated SO badly hat one
could detect the odOr for three or four
"ods. That barley was worth 80 cents
q buShel, yet two or three days heat
ing would lower the grade SO that 1t
would have to be sold for feeding at
about IS cents a bushel. This is an
exceptional case, but it shows that a
good farmer must be something more
nan a grower of crops. He must
snow how to properly care for his crops
in order to sell on the highest market.
Working all summer to produce a crop
of barley and then permit ii to heat
so badly that its value is reduced II
or Is cents a bushel, is hardly in keep
ing with my ideas Of good horse sense.

FEEDING REFUSE STUFF,

When the ows are taken off the fall
pastures they are apt TO eat most any
succulent stuff offered them, so the feed
yards, on many dairy farms, have be-
come the garbage yard for all the de-
caying and refuse stuff about the farm.
Most any fresh stuff will be relished by
the COWS. but when it comes to feeding
rotten potatoes, cabbage, sour pomace
and like refuse, bad results are sure
to come out in the milk. These decay
ing foods will impart 4 flavor which
you cannot get rid of. and a little of
this kind of work very often is costly.
Creameries are warning their patrons
about these things; and you may be
sure that your private customers will
complain if butter Is sent them having
that musty flavor which invariably
from feeding unwholesome n
decayed vegetables.

SOWING RAPE IN CLOVER.

Sometimes l wonder that we ever
get a stand of dover, for we are not
willing that the young plants ave a
fair chance TO live and we crowd
them TO death or pasture them
TO death. l noticed a 40-acre field the
other G1y, in central Illinois, where
clover .--dd been sown with oats last
spring. The clover was showing nice
ly through the stubble all over the
field, but cattle were making way with
1t. Rape had been sown in the stubble
and this was now about as high as
the stubble. The Idea is, of course,
hat the clover and rape will supply
4 large amount of fall pasture. I do
not believe that a clover stand can
be wall established by making pas
ture the first year paramount TO get
ting a sturdy growth. That field of
clover wnl be p~astured, no doubt, to
the limit. and when the clover is all
eaten off the stock will be kept on
rape. Clover must be given a fair
show the first winter if we expect
1t to come through in good condi-
ton,

Good shelter enables the farmer to

pay for all work in feeding the stock.

You may not want to believe it. but
it is true, kitchen odors are as fatal
to good butter as stable odors. The
temptation is to set the cream around
the kitchen stove during winter. Don't
DO it.

hand when they are dealing out home

off her milk supply.
Cows are creatures of habit. II they
are fed certain rations at certain hours
OF the day and IL they are MIXED at
certain hours they are likely to fret and
worry should there be any break In the
system.
When the butter making is done at
home one should aim to get COWS as
near alike as possible, especially In the
time ii takes the cream to rise and
for churning the cream. If the COWS
differ much there is sure to be a loss
of cream.
