A clean horse is soonest curried.
Better a poor horse than poor
auto.
Chickens kept confined should be
fed a noon meal
Cheap harness often proves an ex-
pensive investment.
A little axle grease applied where
1t belongs saves horsefesh.
Lots of people have automobile aspi-
rations and OK team efficiency.
Good ventilation is one of the first
essentials to good health of dairy ami
mails.
Good management is the only thing
which will make hens pay a profit
every month.
A cold roast for dinner and hot
the divorce courts.
| 1t should not be one great breed of
horses against another so much as
the we'll bred against the scrub.
Whenever a large limb is sawed
from the tree the wound should at
once be covered with wax or thick
paint.
Fall plowing that is we'll done cuts
the labor of preparing the seed bed
next spring-cuts 1t squarely in two
in my opinion.
Diversified intensive farming is the
only kind that will pay the money
which buys autos and other conve-
niences for the farmer
A few hours work with a steady
team and road scraper will save dol
lars worth of manure and leave the
barnyard in dandy shape for the win
ters chores.
When the consumer can rest assured
that his milk won't have dirt and filth
settled in the bottom of the glass
from which he drinks, he will pay
high for his milk.
There is a mistaken notion among
some breeders as to the value of old
sires among horses and other live
stock. 1t has been noted that good
stations IL kept right are valuable for
very many years.
Best soil for alfalfa is one with a
surface sufficiently heavy to retain an
abundance of moisture and furnish a
good storehouse for plant food; one
with fairly deep subsoils sufficiently
porous to allow good underdrainage.
Fall lettuce and other small crops
are welcomed in the average home
and the trouble of growing them is
extremely profitable. Just another
way of utilizing those out of the way
places in fence corners and close to
buildings.
Clover is very valuable and where
clover hay is fed to stock there will
be abundance of shatterings for the
poultry, whether fed dry in a clean dry
place. or whether steamed, or fed in
bran mash, the value of clover shat
teringf is greater than many think.
Some of the corn shocks will twist
and go down before you are ready to
use them. If such shocks have already
been damaged by rain, husk them out
place the corn and fodder in small
piles, let dry for two or three days and
then store. If they are left in the
shock both will mould and rot.
Ground limestone is better than
burnt limestone. Two tons per acre
may be applied if the soil is rather
acid, but if extremely acid three, four
and even five tons per acre, once in
three or four years. 1t may be thrown
upon the ground broadcast, and more
of it should be applied on the hills.
1t is not necessary to inoculate the
soil for cowpeas. but it is necessary
for soy beans. 1t is much easier to
inoculate the soil for soy beans than
for alfalfa, but it is just as necessary
Inoculating once is sufficient; it may
be done by putting pint of the sol
containing the bacteria in the drill box
and letting it sift out with the seed
On the majority of soils 1t is safe
70 spread manure in the fall, eithel
for fall or spring plowing. i
manure has been accommodating arount
the barn yard or in the manure shet
1t is a good time now to draw 1t ou
and spread 1t upon the land In M
way does manure give as large re
turns as when spread on grass land
