Keeping up the milk Gov u tAs

Keep close eye on your aock Of
chickens and mark the ones that are

Lots Of dirt 10 Airted into the milk
pail from the tail. Be sure and do not
neglect to brush and clean 1t with The
rest Of the animal.
Care must be taken in breaking the
colt that proper bit IL used. Many .
horses mouth has been ruined by the
use Of the wrong bit.
Think Of the folly Of trying to build
up . good dairy herd with . scrub
bull. And yet that 10 what many .
farmer 10 trying to do.
Tiling not only draws Oh the sur.
plus water from the land but 1t helps
to aefate and warm the soil. Crops
need air and warmth.
Winter the calves we'll. You will
you turn them out to pasture and see
the rapid gains they make.
It were almost better to turn the
stock out into the open air - to
make them stand in the draughty
stable. Close up the chinks.
Fortunate indeed Is the farmer
whose cows freshen in the fall and
winter. Try and manage 20 that this
will be the rule in your herd.
Don't let your horses drop suddenly
from hard work into days Of idleness.
The radical change will work to his
hurt. Bring into the slack season Of
winter gradually and let down on the
full grain ration gradually also.
Cows that are trained to milk from
either side is Kansas idea. A farmer
from that state reports that his cows
are broken thus and that when one Of
his young folks gets through milking
and there are no more whole" cows
to be MIXED, they take 1t two to q
COW. one on each side. Kansas al
ways was strenuous state.
Farmers above all others are inter.
ested in the work of the conservation
commission, and scarcely single
farmers organization meets but that
it adopts resolutions indorsing the
commission and urging cooperation in
the work. It's good thing. What are
you doing to carry out the idea OF con-
servation upon your own farm?
1t fs a mistake to think that any old
place Is good enough for the hog. Hfs
layer of fat may make II possible to
stand a deal of cold but 1t will not
help him to make good return for tho
feed you are putting into him. Re-
member that the animal that is to
give q good account Of itself must be
provided not only with good food and
plenty of 1t but with comfortable
quarters.
Cats in the orchard in the summer
time will tend to lessen the mice
there in the winter time. One farmer
who has a large orchard keeps .
dozen or two of cats feeding them new
milk each morning in the center Of
the orchard. This keeps their activi-
ties centered in the orchard and the
farmer declares there are few mice,
squirrels, rabbits or rats on his farm.
