The best small grain crops as we'll as
the best matured corn crops are as a
rule raised during seasons when there
is dearth rather than a superabund.
ance Of precipitation.
The working habit in the man is a
good deal like the milk giving habit
in the dairy cow-not only affected by
feed, but even more largely a matter
of inherited disposition and tempera-
ment
Conditions prevailing the country
over at this writing seem to indicate
the wisdom of giving the best possible
care to the crops during the growing
season and to securing them in the best
possible manner
A rarity we notice this spring is a
brown thrush building a nest in the
vines trailing the house porch AS
rule, the thrush is more shy than the
robin and builds in places that are
much more secluded.
The COW is in way a manufacture
ing plant. 1t takes about half of what
she consumes to keep things running,
and she should for this reason have
large capacity as a feeder so that the
margin of profit may be as large as
possible.
There is no fraud that is easier Of
detection than that ascertained by
turning a box of Strawberries bottom
side up. The deception is as futile as
the apple blossom complexion which a
woman acquires through the use Of
brush and can Of paint.
1t is when the flower is in the midst
of the delicate process of polarization
and fertilization that the plum, cherry,
apple and other blossoms are most in
danger of damage by frost. One de-
gree Of frost at this time will result
more disastrously than or s degrees
a week or ten days earlier.
On the night of" May It froze SO
hard in the vicinity Of the writer's
home that water in a heavy brass
coupling connecting the lead of hose
to the spraying extension rod froze
solid and burst the coupling, making
assure an inch in length. The Their
mometer stood at 20 degrees F.
The worlds record for milk produc-
ton for year by single COW was
broken recently by the Guernsey COW
Dolly Bloom, according to a report
submitted to the Guernsey Cattle club
of New York city, her record for the
year being 1927 pounds, or 2,O23 gal
Ions. The COW is owned by f. A. Ames
Of Boston.
A prominent lawyer who is consid-
cred good authority on points of COM
mon law gives it as his opinion that
when one has notified a neighbor that
his chickens are nuisance and the
latter fails to shut them up he may
kill them if found on his premises, but
may not appropriate their carcasses
for his own use.
While one cannot do anything to al
ter the amount Of water which may
fall on to his fields from above in the
shape of rain, he may play an impor-
tant part in regulating and conserving
the amount Of water which may be
present below the surface Of the soil
Of the two sources Of moisture the lat
ter is equally as important as the
former.
It is well for the cream patron to
keep in mind that no amount of care
or skill on the part Of the most expert
buttermaker can make a gilt edged
product from filthy or tainted cream
What contamination goes into the driv-
er's cream tank is bound to come out
of the churn in the shape of an inferior
grade Of butter. There's no way
around it,
Some one has said that good many
farmers are too busy to be good dairy
men. 1t may also be remarked that it
is, as rule, the same fellows who
don't have time to test their seed corn,
get their hay up when the sun shines
or take proper care Of their little pigs.
In most cases it is the man himself
rather than the time he may have at
his disposal
The sale of 500 pounds Of butter re-
moves but Is cents worth OF fertility
from the soil The rest of the amount
