Every Woodworking farmer earns
vacation of at least two weeks every
year-and generally the wife earns
four. But does she get 1t?
To pay In the highest degree as a
business the sheep industry must con-
template making the most possible out
of all the different products.
Every grower should choose one
breed and stick to it and exert himself
to produce the best pork that proper
care and good feed will make possible.
Stirring the milk that has been set
some time prevents some Of the cream
from rising. Do not modest the milk
after it is set till the Swimming Is done.
Rules for butter making learned from
a book are a good thing, but by no
means the whole thing. Experience
and close observation are essential to
success.
Nowhere on earth do neat, clearly
and orderly ideas of doing work pay
better than on dairy farm. The men
who follow clean ideas and methods
make the most out of their labors.
In feeding growing stock remember
that there is need of a constantly in
creasing ration. They need food to
build the larger frame and they need
food to supply the daily bodily needs.
Creameries are becoming more

hot weather. and nothing but the
cleanest possible methods should be
used.
1t may be stated as general rule
that when a sheep gets sick and you
don't know how to doctor 1t, it is
good plan to let nature take its course.
Proper care, light feeding and protec-

Our whole system of cattle feeding
has been largely built up on cheap
grain foods, and we have been making
but little use of forage and hay in
the production of our beef. Feeders
must introduce better methods of pro-
ducing their beef and not go out of
business for the reason that grain
foods are high.
The Michigan experiment station
after tests found that when whole corn
was fed to cows % per cent was I'M
masticated, when fed to heifers ten per
cent Chemical analysis showed no
change in composition of the unmas-
| ticated parts, so it is a safe assump-
ton that the animal derives no benefit
from grain that passes through the di-
gestiye tract unaltered.
The price of lard is now regarded as
| being little short of sensational, and 1t
is predicted by those familiar with the
supply and demand of this product
that fifceen cents a pound Will not be
an uncommon price for 1t in the fu-
| ture. This seems quite probable in
view of the fact that the average
weight Of hogs coming to market OF
| late years has not been very much
above the 20O-pound mark.
The suggestion has often been made
that the bull is improved where he
is worked With nothing but idleness
it Is no wonder that they so often be
come Vicious. They have nothing to
/ do but to study deviltry. For some in

too good for any sort OF labor. In this
! age of rapidly-doing things we do not
expect to see an increase of the use
| of oxen on the farm. But we have the
bulls, and If working them will make
| them more harmless, why not put
/ them under the yoke?

The city health Office at Nashville,
Tenn, has completed a test to deter
mine whether poultry drawn and
packed in ice would last longer than
poultry undrawn and carried under the
same conditions. \ half dozen drawn
chickens and an equal number Of
/ chickens not drawn were placed on ice
for some days and then taken from the
/ ice for examination. The result of
he experiment showed that the poultry
packed undrawn kept better, being in
good condition, whereas the drawn
/ poultry had deteriorated materially.
