Provide roomy places for the cows
They do better than when kept in the
rigid stanchions.
It's a shame to waste so much time
milking half-hearted cows. Why mol
milk real dairy COWS and make some
money?
The man who is always thinking O.
the reward for his good deeds will not
make a good showing in the final &C
counting.
The amount Of food that will put 81
worth of fat on a steer will make a lot
more than 81 worth Of buttcr-fat if fed
to a good COW.
For general driving purposes the
good walker is the horse most needed.
The walking gait is the best that can
be cultivated.
How tenderly we nurse the young
animal to give it a good start IN lie,
but how often we neglect this care OF
our children.
1t is not the mar who cures his
sheep so much us the one who prevents
their becoming sick who makes the
most out Of them.
Milk hat is allowed to stand until
it cooIs naturally viii not keep as well
as that which is cooled by water or
ice Immediately after it comes from
the COW.
Because hogs will eat limos any
thing is no reason for giving them Al
most anything to eat. \ wholesome,
wc!l-balanced ration is as important
with them as with any other stock.
Hogs may be fed as many pumpkins
rs they will eat up clean, not more.
The pumpkin is a good thing, but, like
many other good things, it may be per
verted, injuring 10Th stock ard owner.
There are about twenty-five different
makes OF cream separafors now on the
market. each of which is claimed to
peat all the Others out Of sight. 1t
takes a good judge to select the right
machine from such an aggregation OF
World-beaters.
When milk cans are placed in water
to cool the water should be higher
than the milk in the cans. Always use
a milk pail which will permit milking
through the strainer. The main thing
is to keep the dirt out. This is more
important han getting the dirt out
after it has once been in.
During the years when corn brought
a very low price cattle feeding could
be conducted on very loose principles
and still pay fair profits. but condi-
lions have since changed, and methods
must be varied to meet the new con-
ditions in beef production. We are
forced to adopt more economical meth
DDS Of production.
They say that in some localities the
Introduction Of riding machinery has
made labor so light on the farm that
the hired men specify in their contract
with their employer that he must fur
nish either QuoitS OF new horse shoes
to PLAY with at noon and in the even
ing. The men claim that they must
have this exercise in order to keep in
good health.
Be sure that the work horses are
provided with collars of the best quail
ity, and be sure hat the collars fit.
You would not go into the seasons
work with a pair of shoes which caused
you to finch at yer step, but you
may have put the horse to work with a
collar which hurts every step he takes.
Look after the comfort of the faithful
horse as you would your own.
