Owls are yermin destroyers. I'M
courage their presence on the farm.
An Improbable farm hand ID the
fellow who is brutal with the stock
The people who are looking for
trouble are seldom disappointed---ever
notice that?
An occasional day OF docs dad and
the boys lots Of good, even II it's only
a fishing trip to the creek.
You would find portable forge on
the farm will save you many q trir
into town for small repairs. n
Charcoal Is good for the pigs and
the chickens. Be sure that there is q
supply always accessible for them,
1t is poor economy to pasture the
grass too close. Don't try to keep
more stock than you can successfully
pasture.
A Jersey man has discovered that
box kites flying over his chicken runs
protect them from the attacks OF
hawks. Worth trying.
Look after the horses teeth care
fully II defects have developed 1t Is
easier to fix at once than to let them
develop into serious conditions.
What would the merchant be who
did not plan ahead and have the stock
he is going to need ordered ahead. So
with the farmer If he is going to be
successful he must plan far In ad'
vance.
| The condition of the horses neck at
this stage Of the farm work Is pretty
| good evidence as to whether the collar
was made to At when the hard work
was begun in the spring, and whether
1t has been kept adjusted as the
shoulders have settled to the hard
work.
Handle the colt just as you would
the growing boy in your home. Who
would think of leaving the boy until
he was 81 before teaching him what
it meant to obey and perform certain
duties? So with the colt. He should
not be allowed to get his growth be-
| q,
is much easier to begin from the first
to accustom the colt to being handled
and to lead and drive. Try 1t.
Many farin can be made to yield
a larger profit by laying out the fields
differently and planning rotation OF
various crops. The government will
! be glad to send pamphlets to farmers
suggesting how this may be done,
and will furnish special information
for individual cases where desired.
Farmers ought to avail themselves
more fully of the splendid services Of
the government agricultural experts
than they do.
At the national dairy show at Chi
cago last winter samples of milk and
cream sent in for testing for flavor
were heated In a water bath to a
temperature of about 100 degrees,
This heating seemed to bring out OBJ
jectionable fiavors in a more marked
degree than when the milk was cold,
although tests were made OF both the
! cold and warm milk. II one has
never collected promiscuous lot OF
samples and made tests of this char
acter, he will be surprised how easily
off fiavors may be detected, and how
much the quality of the favor varies
To throw horse easily try this
method. Take a three-quarter-inct
rope about 40 feet long, double It al
the center and at this point tie looI
J., about tive feet long. This forms 9
sort of collar which Is slipped over the
horses head. The free ends OF .ths
rope are then brought down and be
tween the front legs and each passed
under the fetlock joint of hind les
: .(preferably from within out), passed
once around itself and the end thor
run forward through the collar. AS
sistants now pull backward on tn,
ropes while the horse is backed. Thli
draws his legs well forward and up OF
his sides. AS soon as the horse ii
down the feet can be tied in this posi-
, tion with the rope.
,I Is any butter fat getting away from

, but in the aggregate It amounts to ;
