farm. These considerations OF them
selves should urge all farmers to the
improvement of their premises. But
there are other reasons even more
powerful to influence thoughtful men
and women in the same direction.
Most important is the fact that this is
home 1t Is the place where father.
mother and children live The family
life centers here. If there is to be any
home feeling 1t must come through a
thoughtful care for the comforts. con-
veniences and beauties of the home.
If there is to be any uplift in lntelli-
gence or morality it must find its op-
portunity in wholesome and attractive
One of the greatest diff
ferences between a farm and any 9th

Notes For the Shepherd.

If the pastures are short and dry
look out for the breeding ewes, says
the Farm Journal.
Give them extra feed-grain in a feed
box, fodder corn or freshly cut clover
After the roots are gathered for win
ter the flock should feed over the field
TO clean up the small roots, etc.
1t Is well to reserve a patch of tur-
nips for the sheep to feed on. 1t may
be in one corner of pasture. A patch
of one acre will furnish feed for twen-
ty-tive or thirty sheep for three months.
Do not attempt to winter old ewes.
Fatten them quickly on turnips, oil
meal, ground corn and oats.
Sweet corn in the milk, fed stalks
and all, is also quick fattener for old
ewes.
DO not breed young ewes under four
teen months old unless very growthy.
Keep the sheep dry. Never leave
them out in n cold rain, especially In
the fall.
II you have no good shelter in the
pastures II will pay TO make one.
Make 1t deep. but provide for yenti-
lation without drafts.

MAKING THE
DAIRY PAY.

1t is generally conceded, says n. A.
| Clapp, the prominent Michigan dairy
man, that the average COW will eat
about $40 worth of feed each year If
the herd has not produced 200 pounds
of butter per COW that will sell for an
average of 20 cents per pound they
have certainly not all paid expenses.
Most of US know which are the good
cows and which are the poor ones. If
we are not certain about the quality
of the milk as regards butter fat pro-
duced by each COW it is an easy matter
TO test them and know. The wedding
out process may. seem like a severe
ordeal, but 1t must be done before the
farm dairy is made a paying PROPOSE
tion.
1t does not pay to keep a poor COW
TO eat and make manure to keep up
the fertility of the soil when a good
COW will do that part just
as well and at the same time will pay

,aring for her and return a profit be-

MuLEFOoT HOGS.
What a Kansas Breeder Has to Say
About Them.

What a Kansas Breeder Has to Say
About Them.
Breeders of swine in many sections
of the country are greatly interested
in mulefoot hogs, and these animals
have attracted considerable attention
in recent years when exhibited at the
state fairs. These hogs are now being
improved and bred under the name of
Ozark hogs.
A Kansas breeder, DR.. w. ]. Connor,
who is raising them, says that, while
in a measure they are a new thing, yet
he has been breeding them long
enough to have ascertained that they
are actually the best range hogs in ex-
istence today. He has found, he says,
that they will live and prosper where
a common hog would starve to death.
The meat of these hogs, he declares,
is sweeter than that of common hogs,
and there is a larger proportion of lean

The Cow and Her Care.

To do well cows must be made COM
Portable.
To be a profitable mixer the COW
must be a hearty eater with good di-
gestive powers.
In milking get all the milk each
time, but do not keep on stripping
after you have got it.
Never use wooden milk pals.
According to statistics. the average
COW produces only 130 pounds of but
ter in a year
Never choose a dairy COW because
she is fat sleek and beauty. The
profitable animal is generally scraggy
and bony.
Sunlight should be utilized as much
as possible in a dairy. 1t is germ
destroyer.

SLIDING GATE FOR STABLE.

Illustration by far the best. Instead of
swinging upward and being hooked to
the ceiling or jOist overhead, as some
do, it slides back and forth upon a
length Of gas pipe serving as a track
| by means OF iron straps attached to
the long pieces that compose the outer
ends of the gate. The gas pipe should
be at least two inches through and in
length twice the width of the gate.
The gate should be made to fit the
place where needed and can be con-
structed OF any strong, light lumber.
If the feed room is in easy reach of
the stable the alley leading to it should
by all means he protected by one of
these gates. In case of COW getting
loose in the night, as cows frequently
will, 1t might be the means of saving
her life from eating too much grain.
Feeding the Herd.
L. z. Bailey, president of the Ohio
board of agriculture. says his practice
OF feeding the milking herd is as fol-
lows: Grain at 4:45 Il. m. Begin milking
at 5:30, which requires about one and
One-half hours. After milking feed all
the silage the cows will eat up clean,
usually about fifteen OF twenty pounds.
At 10 a. m, If weather is not stormy
or too cold, the cows are all turned out
TO water and the stables freed from all
animals. If weather is favorable they
remain out until 3 p. m. when they
are put back in the stable, and each
COW Is given about one pound Of grain
This is merely n bait 10 make them
come into the stable and remain i'm
their stalls until they can be fastened
They are then given as much hay.
preferably clover, as they will eat
without waste. Begin milking Mt ;
p. m. After milking we feed siage
with grain mixed with It. The stables
are then closed for the night.
For grain feed we use dried brew
ers' grains. gluten feed, molasSes
grains, wheat bran. corn and cob meal,
cottonseed and oil meal We never use
all these feeds at once. but vary ac-
cording to price and need. We aim TO
make a balanced ration as near as
possible. | have been using silage for

STORING VEGETABLES.
Tho Best Way to Keep Them In Win

! The Best Way to Keep Them In Win
ter.
1t requires care and a knowledge Of
the nature of vegetables in order t.
successful keep them through the late
fall and winter. They must, as a rule
be kept in a cool atmosphere, but not
cool enough to freeze. But pumpkin
and squash need a dry, warm air and
in gathering must be carefully han
died. 1t is best to leave the stem long,
and never store squashes until rire.
Potatoes do best in cellar that is
cool and damp and should be kept In
the dark as much as possible, but
there should be an arrangement for a
good circulation of air.
Barrels or boxes are best for car
rots, parsnips, beets and turnips. Aft
er storing in these receptacles sand or
fine soil should be placed OH top, allow
ing it to run down between the roots.
The soil should be shaken down so as
to fill all the spaces.
In harvesting the vegetables must
be carefully handled and the tops cut
off an inch or more from the top. This
will prevent chance of decay from
close cutting. If beets are cut too
close they will bleed, losing their sweet
flavor, and quickly spoil.
Onions should be perfectly dried as
soon as gathered and not allowed in a
damp place. If kept in a dry room
where the thermometer is barely
above freezing they will keep well.
Cabbage placed in barrel and sunk |
in the ground and 50 arranged that |
moisture cannot enter and then thick !
ly covered with straw and earth will !
keep nicely till far into spring. But
where 1t is intended to be used dur
ing the winter good plan Is to cut off
the stems and outer leaves. trim the
heads about as much as if preparing
to cook and then wrap each head sep
arately In several thicknesses Of news
paper This will exclude the air. Aft
er lining barrel with paper pack the
heads closely In it and after
all are in cover with paper. The bar
rel must be kept in the coolest part of
the cellar Dampness will not harm
The keeping qualities.
To keep tomatoes pick the largest
specimens that have begun to show
color as soon as the vines are cut by
frost but before the fruit is frosted.
Handle carefully to prevent bruising.
Wrap each tomato separately in soft
PAPER and place in shallow boxes or
IN shelf one layer deep. Keep In
'ool place, secure from frost, so as to
prevent rlpening. If few are brought
)ut at time and placed in warm
place they will quickly ripen. They
AN thus be kept for several weeks
lfter killing frosts.
An occasional turning under of the
whole crop is one of the best paying

heifers are being reared for the dairy
and not for beef For this purpose
they should be fed and cared for There
should be a good. healthy growth of
muscle and bone, but not of fat. Be-
gin with the calf and follow up until
the heifers become cows, There
should be a steady growth of body and
development of dairy form qualities all
of the time, summer and winter. The
young animals should be kindly
treated, so that they may become
quiet and docile. This is the more
necessary as the heifers usually take
their place in the dairy at the early
age of two years. There should be
plenty of succulent, nourishing foods,
but no overfeeding, as this is an injury
10 them rather than a benefit.
