Moldy corn will prove harmful feed
for the horse.
Provide roomy places for the cows.
They do better than when kept in the
rigid stanchions.
It's shame to waste 80 much time
milking half-hearted cows. Why not
milk real dairy COWS and make some
money?
The man who is always thinking Of
the reward for his good deeds will not
make good showing in the final ac-

ice Immediately after 1t comes from
the COW.
Because hogs will eat almost any
thing is no reason for giving them al

good health.
Be sure that the work horses are
provided with collars of the best quail
fly, and be sure that the collars fit.
You would not go into the seasons
work with pair Of shoes which caused
you to finch Mt every step, but you

Look after the comfort of the faithful
horse as you would your own.
