Some men just love to tell their
troubles to somebody. But these fell
lows usually fail to tell them to their
wives, and that is where they make a
big mistake.
II the weather is too cold to work
with sleeves rolled up set Of over
sleeves, which can be made in twenty
minutes, will come in handy as pro:
lection to clothing.
One of the best investments a farmer
boy can make Is camera. It will teach
the whole family more about the beauty
of the surroundings than they have
ever known before.
Overlooking or sudden changes from
poor to very rich food, combined with
want Of exercise, If not actual causes,
will contribute to the development Of
the loss of wool among ewes.
Sheep will not drink out Of a foul
water supply. They will suffer rather
than do that, and when the sheep suf-
fer You suffer, though In another way.
Look after the sheep every day.

earth that work for nothing, board
themselves and pay for the privilege
of living. The farmer who does not
keep bees is living beneath his privi-
sleges.
1t is great waste Of time-which In
the busy. season -is the same as money
Ito fool along with old and worn-out
implements. Better throw them away
II they cannot be fully repaired and
buy new ones even II they do come
higher this year than before. No man
can do good work with poor tools.
The man who attempts to lead a bull
without a nose stick is taking his life
in his hands. No matter how long a
bull behaves himself, there Is always q
murder streak in his makeup and this
Is likely to break out at any minute
Z A bull is about the most treacheroua
and unreliable animal on earth except
bulldog.
The man who will kick a calf to
make 1t drink has no business on q
farm. Might as well try to make q
man drink gallon OF water when he
isn't thirsty. 1t takes a lot of patience
to handle calves. but that is easier than
flying into temper. Some men seem
to think that dumb brutes have great
reasoning powers. Maybe they do, but
I have never seen calf or a pig that
showed they had more than enough
sense to eat when hungry and refuse
when they were not.
The scarcity Of fresh eggs on the

good work right through the winter.
The melting hens Will again start up
in January and by February the COM
bined work Of the pullets and hens will
give big supply OF eggs. and 1t will
be noticed that in February the market
prices for eggs are on the decline. The
great trick is to get the eggs during
the last three months of the year, and
this can be done by early pullets given
good housing, good feed and good care
