The Ton Notch Farmer.

That farmer or stockman who ham
dies the best stock and feeds the best
is the top notch farmer, the one that
gets the most out of the business, and
you never hear him growing around
and saying that there is nothing to
be made in farming. There are few
of this kind In nearly every commun-
ity, model farmers, whom we would
all do well to follow. Right here let
me state that most of us would be
greatly benefited for our business IL
we would spend more of our time
with our neighbors and these model
farmers Probably the workings of
one of these farmers, with whom the
writer has had considerable dealing
in the capacity of live stock trader,
would be of interest to the readers.
My first deal with him was for his
spring fed hogs and they were so good
that reached higher than usual for
them. These hogs were fine blooded
Polands and they all looked the same
age and as II they were all out of the
same mold. They were real fat and
toppy, the kind that any man ought to
be proud of. And he was proud be-
cause he produced the best in the
neighborhood and received the top
price. He says that when he began
with them he was surprised that they
kept in fine fix and fattened on SO
much less feed than the nondescript
type that was so common. No other
kind for him now. / happened
around again in time to buy the next
litter and they were fine. He had
another litter, just come, of the same
type and all about the same age. The
sire cost a lot Of money, but it was
well spent, for he was fine indi-
vidual. His brood sows were selected
mothers, gentle, large and long.

Ropy Milk.

Concerning this trouble, which Is
caused by an outside germ which gets
into the milk after it is drawn, Pro-
fessor harrington recommends the
following:
The best way to overcome this
trouble is to carefully wash the COW s
udder and brush her legs, afterwards
drying both with a clean towel; then
the mixer should wash his hands,
thoroughly steam the pail into which
he milks, and after throwing away
the first streams of milk drawn, milk
the COW with dry hands into this clean
pail. The milk should be protected
as carefully as possible from dust,
and then strained into cans, in
which 1t is to be transported, or in
which 1t is set for cream rising The
strainer cloth, carrying cans and sep
arator, II one is used. should be given
an extra washing and scalding in or
der to destroy any Of these germs
which have been the cause of the
ropy milk. There is no doubt that
this trouble may be overcome in this
way, and the success cne has in doing
It will depend entirely upon how
carefully he protects the milk from
the germs, which must get into the
milk that is drawn from the COW.

of the same good quality. The horses
and mules were of type that at
tracted buyers and included a high
priced harness mare and the toppy
mule colts of his own raising. His
cattle showed good judgment in the
selection, and the cows for home use
numbered only two, but have seen
half dozen that altogether could not
make such fine showing in milk and
butter. Besides furnishing his table
with such fine dairy products, enough
was sold to meet most of his store
bills. In the production of lambs and
wool he ranked well up towards the
front, for he had tried to make up
for whatever was lacking In the quail
ity OF his ewes, in extra care and
feeding Most of the ewes in this
section are from the mountain coun-
ties and with good care and feeding
may be made to produce toppy lambs.
Our model farmer uses good sires,
feeds mis- ewes at lambing time, and
together with blue grass, he is able
to produce lambs that are toppy. So
much for the stock. The farm is
made to produce feeds nearly all to-
gether, but wheat must figure in the
rotation and it is of good enough
quality to sell for seed wheat at.about
twenty cents premium. The corn,
though used for feeding only, is of
the same good quality.-E. w. Jones,
in Agricultural Epitomist.

Hay For Hens.

Possibly there are fine bits of pea
hay, or hay from alfalfa, or clover,
lying about in the barn. If these are
soaked up with hot water, they will
make happy hens and aid the egg
business. Do not feed the hay wet.
Use just enough water to moisten the
leaves and see what nice color they
become. If desired, bran can be
added to the hay to dry it and to sup
ply more egg feed. Cornmeal may
also be used with the hay. Do not
feed long bits of hay and do not fail
to feed 1t in clean troughs. Have the
mixture as cool as blood temperature
before feeding it, Progressive
Farmer.
