Thicker cream, quicker butter.
Now is the time to separate the
feeding from the breeding stock.
Careless methods lose many q farm
ss q competence.
Poor, musty hay or grain should
never be fed to the horses.
Shelter in the pasture for the sheep.
Essential to successful sheep raising.
Much depends upon the method of
ripening the cream az to the quality
of butter produced.
Use water, clean and cold, in work
ing the butter. Worked dry you are
almost sure to overwork.
The use Of wide tires will prevent
to large extent the rutting OF the
road.
Between four and onehaK and five
months is the right time to take the
angora kids from the mothers.
The horse that spends the night in
discomfort is in no condition for a
good days work, any more than you
would be under similar conditions.
Make your farm a veritable gold
pine by careful managing so that
everything that is raised is turned
snto gold.
On tho trip to town buy . little
knick-knack for the children and don't
forget the wife. A very little spent
brings back the sunshine and the
gladness.
A Cornell professor after tests, has
found that milk can be produced for
IS cents per hundredweight and but
ter fat for 16 cents per pound where
the herd is fairly good and the feed
Ing and milking are carefully handled.
Connecticut has wonderful COW as
is shown by an advertisement in one
of her country newspapers as fol-
lows: 'Full-blooded COW for sale, CIV
ing milk, three tons of hay. lot Of
chickens and several stoves"
Save the saplings Of hard wood
when clearing up land, as they come
handy for handles to the various tools
used on the farm. To make them is
only a little work and you save
money.
Spend q few days in the orchard
this fall cleaning up the grounds and
the trees. The most neglected spot
on some farms Is the orchard, and
1t is right there that the best profit
might be realized II the right care
was given the trees.
Give the chickens good airy place
to roost at night For the growing
stock all that is required until cold
weather comes Is shelter from sun
and rain, Have the shelter so con-
structed that you can move 1t about
from place to place.
Lumpy jaw In cattle Is OF parasitic
character and treatment Is advisable
only where the disease is local and SUI
perfcial. The diseased masses are
cleaned from their cavities and the
places filled with iodized carbolic acid.
1t is disease that man is suscepti-
BILE to and great care must be exer-
cised In most cases 1t were better to
destroy the animal.
1t is q common belief that spring
calves will do better IL kept up In the
barn and fed hay and grain together
with skim milk rather than being
turned out loose In the pastures to ex-
ist on grass which Is a non-suitable
feed for young calves. There Is little
question but what young calf should
be kept up, especially the skim milk
calf and should be fed good, whole
some hay and a small amount of grain
for which ha will give good returns.
However, this does not mean that
the young calves should all be huddled
together In some dark stall where the
conditions under foot soon become
unspeakably flthy and where the
nies pester them all day long.
American poultrymen will be Inter
ested In the great egg record made In
the South Australian egg-laying COM
petition during the IL months ending |
March II. 1908. There were 78 pens
OF six fowls each that took part in the |
composition. The leading pen, which !
was White Leghorns. laid 1851 eggs
during the II month, an average Of
better than 255. eggs each. The second |
Pen was only three eggs behind. An |
other pen Of the same variety laid only |
Sl60 eggs, whieh shows that It is more |
f\e strain than the breed that deter
DilRes the egg yield. Of the 80 leading |
,ped aIl Of which laid above 1,1s0
egd ~ were White Leghorns. three |
