1t is not surprising that residents of
the Mississippi valley states and those
on the Atlantic seaboard, mindful Of
the meteorological tantrums of the
weather clerk, which have resulted in
the formation of ice half an inch thick
nights when apple, peach, cherry and
plum blossoms were in full bloom, sort

where a fellow can doff one suit Of

weather above referred to is fine. but it
is rather hard on a fellows physical
constitution and pretty tough on the

! It is estimated that the dairymen of
the state Of Iowa alone lose annually
S3H,CC0,0O0 as a result of keeping un-
profitable cows IL their dairy herds
and through not giving the cream that
is produced the care which will pro-
'duce the highest grade of butter.

The fellows who went into the egg
deal extensively last summer and fall,
buying eggs at a good stiff price, and
whose corner this spring was knocked
to smash by old Biddy with the fresh
product before they had boosted the
price to the desired level have learned
somewhat of conservatism and are not
bidding so fiercely on this years stock
of eggs. The financial furry, too, may
have had some part in preventing the
spectators from realizing on their ex-
pectations.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-05-22

Good feed. kind treatment and re-
liably made cream separator are pretty
sure to mean success with the dairy.
Of course it is taken for granted in
this statement that the members Of
the dairy herd have been tested and
that only those that are paying their
board bill are on hand
The Democratic advocate., 1908-05-22

Some one has said that the forests
of the country are one of natures saw
ings banks. Accepting this statement
as substantially correct, it is fair to
state that a whole lot of bank wreck
ing is going on in the suicidal and short
sighted forest policy which is being
followed by the commercial interests
of the country.

1t is due to the children in the home,
but particularly to the good wife,
whose view of the outdoor world is so
often circumscribed by it, that the
front yard should be utilized for some
thing beside a chicken ranch or a hog
lot. Hogs are all right in their place,
but that is out back Of the barn.

There seems to be something in the
feminine mind that is constitutionally
opposed to doing some kinds of work
in an easy way. To illustrate, there's
many a hardW orking mother who still
adheres to the laborious old chopping
bowl for the preparation of her hash
timber and mince meats when a good
meat grinder would do it in half
the time and with half the effort.
There are other good souls who will
patiently drudge away on patchwork
by hand and view as absolute domestic
sacrilege the calling of sewing ma
chine into service for the doing Of the
same work.

Unlike most other members of the
clover family, alsike does we'll on wet

been done in the matter of killing weed

Up to 1878 not more than $4,000

While the average run of cows may
give q maximum yield of milk at seven
or eight years of age, there are fire.
quently exceptions. A Jersey COW be-
longing to the writer that is thirteen
years old this spring is giving more
milk by a third than in any previous
period Of lactation. While conditions
might be responsible in part, this would
hardly seem sufficient to account for
all the difference noted. Undoubtedly
a large factor is that this spring there
was an interval of nine weeks between
milking periods, while in previous years
there has seldom been more than four
or FIVE

A lady friend who has tried it states
that horseradish can be ground very
nicely in the ordinary meat grinder.
The roots are washed and scraped as
much as is desirable and then put
through the mill, the job being just as
we'll done and attended with many less
tears than in the old way.

1t is generally agreed that while the
dairy type of steer will never make as
good quality Of beef as the strictly
beef type, he will make more rapid
gains than will the other, this because
he comes from a type of cows whose
digestive and assimilative powers are
abnormally developed
The Democratic advocate., 1908-05-22

The other day on a drive into the
country we noted a hawk, the large
sized common kind, with wings out
spread and almost motionless and sta
tiorary, scanning the meadow beneath
him in search Of food. While the OBJ
ject of the birds keen vision was not
in sight, he had likely spotted gopher
or mouse and was merely waiting for
a good chance to pounce upon 1t from
his position of vantage. Rather than
being considered an enemy Of the
farmer, these hawks, together with
many varieties of owls, should be more
and more viewed as real friends of the
farmer, orchardist and gardener.
The Democratic advocate., 1908-05-22

Very few enemies Of the rose bed
will be able to do it harm if it Is
given a thorough spraying every morn
ing with the garden hose with the wa
ter under good pressure. Sprayed as
often as this, the lice, slugs and other
pests are not given time enough to
prosecute their work, being uncere-
moniously knocked off by the force
of the water.
Inasmuch as dirt is the common
name for microbes and bacteria, the
less dust and dirt there are at milking
time the freer from germs of various
kinds will the milk be. The most care
full dairymen not only see that the
back and sides are brushed carefully
before milking, but that the udder and
teats of the COW as well as the hands
Of the operator are carefully washed.
These precautions simply mean clean
milk and make possible a first class
butter product.
While a good many fakes and SWIM
dies are worked upon folks who are
entirely unoffending and not to blame,
the vast majority are made possible
because of the eagerness on the part
Of the victim to get something for
nothing, or as least good deal more
than he has reason to expect as re-
turn from a legitimate transaction.
