Some miscreat cut the ropes in the

Company Sunday, so that when the
machinery was started they all came
apart. There were fifteen of these
ropes, being in all 1900 feet. This

Common Sense in Spraying

Like any other farm operation, the
best and most paying results are COM
bined where common sense enters
into every detail of the spraying op-
erations. Fruitgrowers should not be
led astray by wordy and high-sound-
ed claims for insecticides or machin-
cry, that have not been thoroughly
tested by experiment stations or 9th
ers. Common. sense should enter into
all arrangements for the handling and
making of spraying materials. Care.
fully planned arrangements for facili-
tating the making of bordeaux mix
ture or the lime-sulphur wash, will
often-times greatly reduce the time
and expense of making such sprays,
and thus render the whole job less
and uninviting. Spray.
ing Is an operation that can rarely be
put OFF or postponed If the best re-
suits are to be obtained. OF course,
weather conditions may sometimes
compel delay We are all familiar
with the old saying that ''the early
bird catches the worm," and it is Of
ZEN necessary for the fruit-grower to
oe the early bird" with his spray

Corn for Poultry.

some beefeater persists in subsisting
on sirloin steak and roast beef ex.

at the plate. But plenty of beef,

hardy and vigorous race. Corn is in
digeneous to this country. 1t was put
here to grow for purpose, and in this
sunny climate of ours it grows near
ly everywhere in the United States
and Canada, where there are three
months of sunshine, warmth and alb
sence OF frost. 1t is just suited for
the changeable winter climate. Take
the corn cakes or flapjacks away from
the men that follow the trail or prai-
HES, and what substitute will take
their place? Corn and pork, aided
by pure air and exercise, have put
beef on many a weedy city chap that

Why the Old Eve Is Ravenous.

Some men wonder at the great
amount Of feed that an old eve will
consume while sucking her lamb, but
they will not wonder at her raven
GUS appetite when they learn of the
amount of butter fat which she daily
gives to that lamb. A Shropshire eve
gives much more milk according to-
her. weight than a dairy COW. At the
Wisconsin station several lambs were
muzzled to keep them from sucking
except at certain periods, then each
was allowed to take the milk The
amount of milk yielded by each eve
was determined by weighing the lamb
on a delicate scale Immediately be-
fore and after sucking. They found
that eve gave as much as four
pounds of milk per day, and that it
tested from So to 6.2 percent but
ter fat, the average test of all the
ewes being SIS, which is considerably
more than the test of the ordinary
cow, which averages about 3.S. The
milk OF the eve was found to contain |
much larger percent of other solids
than the milk from the cot. Evident |
ly the old eve has perfect right to
get ravenous.-Weekly Witness.

Renew Worn-out Pastures.

Many farmers persistently hold to
| the idea that grass adds fertility to
the land. This is not true of the true
grasses except to the extent that they
add humus. They cannot possibly
add potash or phosphoric acid, al
though when they are dying out there
may be an increase Of these elecents
In an available form. They do add
vegetable matter In the roots and
stubble, il the land is In meadow. and
by the pasture that has been CON-
sumed and left on the land in the way
OF droppings. The clovers do all this
and add nitrogen besides.
Another common mistake farmers
make Is in regarding land in grass as
simply resting, just as man would
rest in the shade after hard DAVIS
work in the harvest field. In this
they forget that the best rest is usu-
ally change of work; and that land
when resting as they call it, may take
just as much rest when producing
maximum crops as when Laying
around; for the analogy between the
rest OF tired body and the rest of a
field does not hold true. The best
rest In both cases, however, is usually
change of work, a change that will,
use a different set of muscles in the
man and in the case Of land prodnce |
sorts of crops.-Warraces'

| there is no superior to good, second

greedily consumed by both old and

ter that the farmer cannot afford to

Up until a few years ago few farm
ers thought anything but grain was
necessary in feeding poultry, but now
the progressive breeders not only use
grass in the summer but hay in the
winter for the hens. 1t has been
found that cut hay is not only cheap
er than grain, but it is as important
in the ration OF the hen as Of the
cow
Good clover hay contains fore nj

grain, and the hens will lay more
eggs and keep in better health by its
use in connection with grain than to
conf1ne them to grain diet exclusive
