| when properly combined with the 9TH
er grains makes an ideal ration.
We cannot emphasize too strongly
the necessity for grinding the grain
part of the ration. The horse owner
who fails to do this loses % to so per
cent of the nutritive value. The hard
outer covering Of the grain makes 1t
difficult to digest. and very large
proportion passes through the stomach
Of the animal in an undigested condi-
tion. An examination of the feeds
will show the whole grain and prove
the truth of this statement. When
you feed a ground ration you prepare
IT for quick digestion. Your animals
utilize 1t more readily, and there Is
practically no waste. 1t should be re-
membered that the horse digests its
food quickly, and whatever ration you
feed should be prepared with view
to supply the nutrition the horse
needs Your horses will work better
and keep in better condition on five or
six quarts of ground mixed seed than
they will on eight quarts Of whole
grain.
Feed a variety of grains properly |
and have them well ground. |

lorses, but it will cost you less money

A spring scale with pointer for the
tare Of the pail now makes the weigh
ing of the milk easy and quick. This
scale can be had from almost any
hardware store at small price, and
the milk pals can be made of uniform
weight by putting little lead on the
bottom of the lighter ones. The pro-
ducer can buy milk record sheets.
good for a month, with spaces for
keeping the weights of milk from over
thirty cows, morning and night. at
cost Of 10 cents year. These sheets,
tackled on a board near the scale, with
pencil hanging by string, make 1t
easy to weigh and set down the result,
which shows at glance what every
COW is doing in quantity of milk. This,
carried out through the year, will be
great surprise to the producer dlsclos-

FEEDING HORSES.
Variety Of Grains Properly Balanced

One Of the cOmmonest faults in feed

a fact, however, that no more than 90

From birth until August the calf is

About the middle of May the COW and

they are left until the 1st of August.
The calf is then taken from the moth

him few turnips.
About three weeks before the open
ing Of the show | commence to give
the calf more personal care and train
ing. His feed continues as before
but his exercise is all taken at the
ropes end. Each afternoon | lead him
up and back a half mile lane. He is
allowed to travel at his own leisurely
pace, but is required to keep moving
and to keep his head held up. After
this he is given a lesson In standing,
turning around and starting at the
snap of the whip. Through this means
he soon loses all shyness and will feel
at ease when led into the show ring.
Each day, usually In the morning, | |
sponge him off with cold water and |
blanket him. thus encouraging the
growth of the hair.
A few days before he is expected to
be shown | polish his horns, oil his
hoofs and curl his coat of hair. To
polish his horns I first go over them
with the raSp, followed respectively
by the emery, sandpaper and a piece
Of glass. This treatment is applied
but the first time, and each day fol-
lowing polish the horns with a
pumIce stone and little olive oil.
His feet are trimmed and a little oil
and lampblack occasionally applied to
give them a darker appearance. To
'url the hair the calf is first sponged
IF with cold water until his hair is
thoroughly wet

working back, comb his coat straight

which. as In the case of overripe milk,
cuts the fat in such a way that It is
not all embodied in the curd Extra
working of the curd made from this
Kind Of milk also results in loss in
production.
All impure milk used in the manu-
facture of cheese affects the product
adversely to the yield. Consequently
the producer Of the milk does not on
this account get the result he would
otherwise obtain. OF course the other
parties interested in the industry are
losers in like manner. If the dairy
man would send his milk to the fac
tory in a proper condition he would
gain considerably.

When running the hand separator,

care being taken to keep a constant
even pressure all the way round,
not pushing down hard and pulling up
hard, while for a moment when the

there is no pressure upon 1t. Turn at

1t is found by testing the skimmilk

Needy THOUGHTS.

XIII the small weeds and you will
never have large ones.
A dead weed never goes to seed.
Mustard is better In the kitchen than
In a wheatf1eld. Pull it up by the
roots.
Persistence brings reward with Can
ada thistles, but it takes lots of per-
sistence. Don't let the thlstles seed.
Sometimes 1t is well to salt them after
cutting.
The best time to cut sweet clover is
when it is in blossom. 1t is hard upon
your tools, but harder upon the clover.
Better hoe cornfeld four times
when the weeds are small than once
when they are big. It's cheaper.
1t doesn't pay to cut burdocks with a
hoe. Use a spade and cut deep.
Dragging corn either when It Just
comes up or at three or four inches
Will save lots of trouble later. Use a
spike tooth harrow.
Do unto your weeds as you would
have your neighbor do unto his.-Farm

BUTTER IN HOT WEATHER.
How to Properly Ripen the Cream
For the Churn.


/ If the pasture is good the butter
I should be kept at a low temperature
and properly ripened. Stir the cream
In the jar every time fresh cream is
added. No sweet cream should be
added to the ripened cream. The
right temperature of cream for sum-
mer churning is IS to 60 degrees F.
If the dairy or cellar is too warm for
the cream place the cream jar In a
keg. fasten the keg to a light chain
and let the cream can, which should
be closely covered, down the well,
where it can be kept cold and at an
even temperature. One quart of cot
tonseed meal mixed with two quarts
of wheat bran divided into two equal
parts, one part made into a thick slop
and given TO each COW In milk In the |
morning and the balance in the even |
ing will increase the quality Of the |
cream. Salt the cows twice each
week. The meal will give the but
ter superior flavor. a firm texture.
md there will be more of It.
The COWS in hot weather should have
'hade, a full supply of pure, fresh
pring water and extra green forage If
.rass is short. Churn early In the
morning in cool place. Scald the

old water before putting cream into
