HINTS FOR FARMERS
Tho Winter Cleanup.

No matter how careful the farmer
tries 10 III. there is always IL great
deal OF trash that nccumulatcs around
the barn lots. along the fences and
even in the fields. says the Farmers Adj
vccatc. The farmer should make ii n
practices 10 use all the old boards and
fcnceposts that have become useless
during the year rs klndling or fire
wood. These may he worked up into
wood now and the place occupied by
them put into much better appearing
condition. All trash that cannot be
used rs tirewood should be collected
ana burned.
1t is good practice TO burn all such
wood In the hogpcns. The charcoal
and ashes make an excellent addition
to The hogs ration. and tho very best
way TO get this into the hogpcn is to
make the latter the burning ground
for all the useless wood on the farm.
The barn lots and hog lots should be
cleaned of all manure and dirt that are
not frozen TO the ground. II is known
that disease germs. especially cholera
germs, can live through the winter In
the frozen Jumps of manure and filth
In these lots. II these Jumps are carried
to the field. The health of the herd to
be kept in the lot next summer will be
protected.
