We believe 1t Is bad practice.
The farmer who turns of a good
bunch Of hogs each year can always
get credit at the bank II he wants 1t.
Your sheep may be suffering with
eye trouble without your knowing IL.
Keep the wool clipped away from the
eyes.
E
Present deeds are the best explana-
tons of past deeds. Time spent in
explanations is generally time mis-
spent
Good strong seed put into fine but
firm seed bed. with all weeds elimin-
ated, are the factors that insure good
yields.
Dust In the house OF a thrifty. active
flock cannot be avoided. but there is
no reason for allowing the cobwebs to
accumulate.
Small plant pots dry out rapidly. A
good way is to place them in boxes of
moist sand. The pots should be sunk
to the rim.
II you have no sorgum seed OF your
own. make an effort to obtain a load
OF some one who has grown a patch

The dairy should have the very best
equipment possible. but the first ap-

Nature never made n greater mis-.
take than when she deposited sand on
the surface of certain farms instead

SO a pile of crockery for grit, either
broken into bits now, or else stored to
be broken as needed.
Pure water is essential for the cows
health and for the purity of the milk
Filthy or stagnant water is filled with
