In most states the law as to fences
requires railroad to provide its right
Of way with fence Of the kind which
the farmer has or may want to erect
adjacent thereto. To illustrate, II
wishes to fence hog tight
a tract Of land bordering on the right
of way, the railroad would have to
erect fence of this description on the
line bordering such tract.
Some ingenious poultryman has Late
~ devised louise proof henroost, the
base of the iron castings at either end
Of the roOst resting In receptacle
containing a strong disinfecting fluid.
This would seem to be effective enough
In preventing lice and vermin from
crawling up the roosts to the hens,
but would hardly serve to keep them
from crawling from the hens on to
the roosts and thus being spread.
time out in Nebraska many young
woman has followed the binder and
helped shock the golden grain, and this
was entirely to her credit. just as
much so as it was to the discredit of
the husky chaps who loafed around
town and didn't work because, in ad-
dition to generous wages, they weren't
taken to and from town every night in
q leather cushioned automobile after
the days work was done.

The proper time for cutting the corn
crop for fodder or ensilage is when the
ear, leaves and stalk contain a max
imum Of 9ltritiYe value. II the corn
ripens under normal conditions, this
will be when the ear has begun to
dent and is quite firm and if picked
would make good feed and seed ear.
while the upper leaves of the plant are
green, with the lower turning yellow.
Cut before this time, there is distinct
loss in food value. just as there is a
loss If the fodder is not cut before a
frost kills the leaves.
If the little heifer has calved earlier
than was good for her own develop
ment. much can be done to make
amends and help her attain a normal
growth by giving her good grain ra-
ton for eight or ten months after
calving. even If she is on good pas
ture. If she is the kind Of mixer
she ought to be, she will only appro-
pirate as much Of this extra ration as
she needs for growth and will put the
rest in the pail. Handling her in this
way is not coddling her, but simply
an evidence Of farsighted management.
If there is any one sight more than
another that is calculated to arouse

There Is probably no variety of trees
grown in the warmer and arid or semi
arid portions of the great southwest
which is equal to the eucalyptus in
point Of general usefulness. 1t pos
sesses thrifty and vigorous habit OF
growth, does well without irrigation
and on land that is so poor and rough
that it will produce almost nothing
else. Realizing these good qualities
large areas in California which car
never be put under ditch are being sci
to eucalyptus trees. Results that have
already been secured show that If SCI

varieties Of it are found.
