drink large number of those germs
into her system, some of them being

less attention is paid to the care of
milk than to any other food consumed
upon the table.

There's a smile of relief and a spirit
Comes over the farmer when haying
is done;
With his haylofts all swelling with
sweet-scented hay
His smile is as CHEEKY as sunshine in
May.
The summers half over, and out in
the field
He sees the approach of a bountiful
yield;
AS tall as his hat is the golden topped
corn,
Which waves it's long arms in the
breeze of the morn,
AS fair and as fragrant as gardens of
old
Are his fields with their stubble as
yellow as gold.
With his barn full of hay and his bed
ding stacked high,
smile on his face and a CLEAN in
his eye;
The cattle provided with winter re-
past,
While apples and pumpkins are ripen-
ing fast
There's a smile of relief and a spirit
OF fun
Comes over the farmer when haying Is
done;
The turnips are growing, the melons
are prime,
The harvest approaching, his boun-
teous time.
All! Lucky the farmer who wanders
afield
And sees the approach of a beautiful
yield!

Pasturing Sheep.

Some writers claim that sheep
ought not to be pastured on land more
than one year before 1t is plowed and
reseeded, owing to parasites. but 1t has
been shown that sheep have been kept
free from parasites by the use of tar,
turpentine and salt. Bore Pinch holes
in pine log, fill with salt and smear
tar around the top, and sheep will tar
their noses while eating salt. Sheep
soon learn to eat tar. One sheep
raiser keeps 1t mixed with turpentine
and salt, where 1t Is accessible at all
times. About one-half pint of turpen-
tine to one peck of salt is the proper
proportion.

Cultivation of Corn.

AT the several experiment stations
corn has received more than its share
OF attention, and many experiments
nave been made in order to learn how
to derive the largest yields and to
grow the crop most economically.
Opioions differ, however, as climate,
variety and soil are factors governing
every crop. The Indiana station found
that the best results were obtained by
planting seed in May. 1t has been
SHOWN that the greatest average yield
OF both ears and stocks have been OBJ
ta1ned when the stalks stood about
Twelve or fourteen inches apart in the
rows Thick planting, however, re-
duces the size Of the ears, and the per-
centage of grain, but thick planting
mas, In dry seasons, produced the
heaviest yield Of stalks and the high
est yield of ears. So far as depth of
cultivation is concerned, the yields,
when corn was cultivated one, two
and three inches, have been equal. In
continuous corn culture heavy appli-
cations Of fresh horse manure have
not been profitable, but the effect of
a very heavy application of manure
has been noticed for many years.
There does not seem to be much differ
ence in yields due to any particular
implement used, while hill and drill
paintings of corn have produced the
same average yields. The Checking"
of corn is still the most popular and
profitable mode of growing the corn
at the least cost of labor. The results
at one station may not correspond
with those obtained elsewhere, but
where the work has extended over
number of years the results should be
accepted as important, If not conclu-
sive.

Cooling Cream. .

Different conditions on the farm

Ing of cream. Where windmills are

structed milk-houses in which can be
placed tank or half barrel, through
which all water is led from the wind.
mill to the stock-watering tanks. With
the cream cooled and held in these
tanks the arrangement is everything
required
Where windmills and milkhouses
are not used, half barrel can be set
near the pump and cheap shade con.
structed. The water can be pumped
by hand with small expenditure OF
time and labor. The cooling of the
cream will heat the water. Run out
the warm watev and pump a fresh
supply in which the cream can SET
over night or through the day before
being added to the supply can. When
another lot of warm cream is to be
cooled, the operation can be repeated
A large box can be set over the barrel
to protect the cream from the sun
The farmers ingenuity may suggest
some other protection equally as good
There are dozen or more arrange
ments, inexpensively and easily made
which can be devised on every farm
for the proper care of cream. These
remarks suggest only the principle OF
keeping the cream in good condition
