Many of the ills that affect Amerl-

Some years ago the president of the
American Civic Association asked a

3 We fancy many more similar ques-
tons might have been propounded with
the same result. We feel certain that
many Salt Lake citizens would be IN
able to answer such questions. They
never deem 1t necessary to inform
themselves on public affairs. They
leave that to party leaders and profess

exercise their sovereignty intelligently.

England will emerge from her pre-

been. TO resume her onward career
and to maintain and increase her

Rules Dairymen Must Observe.

Nearly seventy excellent rules and
recommendations ave been made by
the health department of New York
city which must be observed by farm
erS and dairymen in handling milk
to be shipped to the city. They are
all good. We give here a few of
them:
The COW must be clean.
Cow stables must be we'll lighted
and ventilated.
Stables must be we'll whiteWashed
at least once a year.
The water used in the barn and for
cleansing the milk utensils must be
absolutely free from contamination.
No person having any cOmmunica-
BILE disease, or one caring for persons
who have, shall be allowed to handle
the milk or milk utensils.
The milk must not be adulterated
in any way.
The hands Of mixers must be wash
ed and thoroughly dried Immediately
befor milking.
The hands and teats should be kept
cry during milking. Moistening the
hands with milk is condemned.
All milk must be cooled to a tenn
perature not above 55 degrees within
two hours after being drawn, and
kept thereafter below that. and must
be cooled to so degrees or less if not
delivered at h creamery twice a
Gay.
The use Of any preventative or col
Oring matter in butter OF milk is an
adulteration and it's use is sufficient
u for the exclusion of the product
from the market.

BUCkWHEAT FOR POULTRY.

BuckWheat is the best grain crop
that we have ever tried to furnish a
fOraging ground for poultry.
/ SOW it Late in July and allow the
chickens and turkeys to harvest it.
They are all the better for the exer-
else and the only cost is for the seed
and work of preparing the soil and
sowing it.
Late in last July l sowed about one
acre where the chickens and urkey
could have free access. They began
to work on it as SOOn as the grains
were filled and have been at work
on it for nearly two months.
If it is trampled down on he
ground the grains will not damage
unless it is warm enough to sprout
them. BuckWheat will lie on the
ground all winter and grow in the
spring.
A buckwheat stubble makes an ex-
cellent feeding ground for poultry
during pleasant days throughout the
fall and winter season and the poultry
enjoy the exercise.
Our hens. pullets and September
Matched chickens are all in fine con-
dition. largely due to the buckwheat
to which they have free access.
The plan of allowing them to harv-
est the b~uckwheat saves rouble OF
FEED ne and it also teaches them to
depend upon their own efforts to oh-
tain their food. Buckwheat whole
grain has a nutritive ratio Of 1 to Z,
which can be reduced by furnishing
some concentrated food.-A. j.. Legg.

''The question is, is country life as

The mind Of the one inquired of in
voluntarily reverted to a quiet home
nestled among the hills Of southern
Ohio. Hills whose trees are the grand
old oak, the chestnut, the shellbark-
hickory, the rich walnut and the
dainty beech, interspersed with the
fragrant pine, whose cones covered
the front yard of this quaint, old-fash-
toned dwelling.
Memory loves to linger IN that far
off time when the days, which usually
seem so long to the young, glided by
all too swiftly, filled with the delights
of opening the chestnut burrs, gath

come hard before you notice it use q
little lard and give the member q

Before the colt comes the mare
should have had plenty of bran and
oats and good, clean hay. After the
colt has arrived do not let them have
too muc exercise for the first two
days, rather keeping them quiet in a
lone paddock or a small shaded pas-
ture.
If the ~youngster arrives when the
flies are bad keep mother and foal
in the barn during the day and then
at night send them to the pasture.
Be very careful that all the mares
with fOalS are congenial, if they run
in the same pasture, for often one of
them will be vicious in disposition and
hurt the fOal Of another mare.
When the colt is a month old use
the mother in the lightest work

along at her side.

TAKE CARE OF THE COLT.

Caring for the brood mare is no
hard task if a grain of common sense
is used. The mare should not be
worked too hard, although a daily
useful exercise is advisable. She will
be better off If she is given something
to do during the period that she is
carrying the colt.
Daily grooming is essential and it
should he we'll done During the last
few days he should be give light
exercise or urned out in the lot or
pasture.
At foaling time she should have an
attendant to see that she comes
through in good shape.
Whe the fOal is on it's feet see that
it nurses properly. If it cannot take
all the milk, draw it by hand. Do not
let the mares udder become hard and
