It is the winter layer that makes the
profit.
The bare floor makes q poor bed Tor
he cow.
Indigestion Is often caused in the
horse by feeding too much corn.
Watch the young trees. Do not let
the field mice or rabbits girdle them.
In feeding hogs devise a system by
which every animal will get an even
show.
Shake up the cows bedding every
fay and remove all the Jumps and wet
straw.
Watch your flock and be sure and
pick out all the hustlers for the breed
ng pens.
Steady diet OF corn Is not q good
hing for the colts. They need more
oone-making food.
There is more money in the small
than in the large flock in proportion
to the amount invested.
Plan to have good garden this
year. 1t will bring health to the fam
lily and will save you money.
Don't cut off q limb unless you have
good reason for doing so. Poor
pruning Is almost worse than no pru-
hing at all.
Ventilation through a muslin.cur-
aimed window and ventilation via the
numerous cracks and crevices marks
lust the difference which there is be-
wen well and sick chickens.

II the horses you are using on the
.oad have not been sharpshod yet,
attend to the matter at once. 1t Is
Easy for the horse 10 strain himself
and sustain an injury which is more
costly than many times the cost OF
getting him fixed for the slippery road.
If you are shy on scratching room
.or your hens try the plan of utilizing
)ne of the sheds where the wagons
stand. On nearly every farm there is
! shed of this kind which could be
liked up as scratching place for the
iens on days which were too cold for
hem to get out.
As long as the demand for buggies
yeeps up-one million are made every
year-there must be horses to draw
hem. Remember that when told that
he auto is going to put the horse out
,f business. Don't be afraid to raise
good horses. There is always q de-
nand for them.
The correct remedy for collie in
horses, II 1t is not of too long standing,
Is to give a purge to remove the ir-
ritating substance from the bowels,
and anodynes to relieve the pain. The
bladder, except in cases Of long pro-
lracted collie or Inflammation Of the
bowels, will take care of itself.
A good syrup for the hot cakes in
winter is made as follows. If you see
his before the wife does, tell her
about It: To one cupful of sugar,
graduated or brown, but preferably the
after, take half cupful Of cold wa
Ter. Put into a glass jar day or
90 before the syrup is needed for use,
and stir 1t occasionally with spoon.
II the cover is tight, 1t may be sha-
ken instead. A little vanilla may be
added II 1t is liked for a change. This
is much less work than the old cook
ing process, tastes just as well, and
ioes not go back to sugar"
The growing Of nut trees is increas-
ing in favor. You ought to have few
IN your farm. There is an increasing
aemand for nuts Of all kinds from the
socoanut down. This increase is due
IN the main to two causes, namely,
better appreciation Of their appetizing
qualities and the numerous ways In
which they form a palatable addition
% the diet Of the average family, and,
secondly, to their use by the yegetari.
