make a fairly good combination in
the fall
The tight, unventilated barn is the
cause of disease among stock in COD
climates.
Incubator and brooder are abso-
lutely essential to profitable early
chick raising.
It's not enough to know that COW
is profitable. You must know how
profitable she is.
Experience and good judgment must
guide the practical dairyman in his
daily work of feeding.
Building up the herd by buying new
mixers is always precarious. Better
raise calves from the best cows.
Many a field of corn has been
husked by the hogs this year. It's
good plan when you can afford it
Do you think thnoleo makers would
sell their product br what 1T is if they
could make the people believe 1t was
butter?
1t is a mistake to slight anything
when planting a tree, for the better
the work is done the better will be
the result.
Poultry yards should have shade
for chickens during the summer. II
your hens do not have shade plant
trees for this purpose.
It's mighty poor policy to try to
produce a new breed of cattle. Life
is too short and the breeds already
established are too well developed.
Early chickens to sell as broilers
usually meet good demand and bring
a paying price. as they have to be fed
only for comparatively short time.
Many boys and girls leave the farm
simply because they have no money to
spend. Start them in the poultry busi-
ness and let them earn their own
money.
Sweet corn should not be planted
too early. II requires warm soil:
1t seldom terminates well when plant
ed too early. Plant about the time
field corn is planted.
There is little need Of a meat boy
colt. II your farm furnishes plenty Of
fresh fruits and vegetables. Incl
to furnish you meat
Money invested In sheep Will nearly
double itself In one year. since the
fleece will pay for the feed and care
of the sheep. and the lambs. often
two per eve. are the profit.
You may not think It. but being
regular in milking is the means of
making at least Is per cent more
| from your cows. Cows MIXED at any
old time dry up much quicker.
II costs less to put pound of
weight on a young growing animal
than on one older. and the amount of
| food necessary to produce a given In
| crease of weight gradually increases.
Onions. lettuce. radishes and spin
ach may be sown as early as the soil
can be worked into good tilth. II
is of no advantage to SOW seed OF any
kind when the soil is too wet to work
readily into a good condition.
II forest and shade trees have not
been planted, this should not be neg
lected any longer. The trees should
have time to secure n hold in the
soil before the dry season makes
heavy demand upon the moisture in
the soil.
To cure MARBLES In cattle. take a
glass syringe of the smallest size and
inject sweet oil with 40 drops of car
bolic acid to the pint, into the hole at
the apex of the little mounds on the
cows back This will bring them
away without injury to the COW.
With the exception OF few OF the
very best of the pullets It is nearly
always best to sell all of the early
Matched chickens as soon as they
reach a marketable size. In nearly all
cases a better price and certainly a
better profit will be realized than by
keeping and feeding them until fall
| Geese should be given free range
summer and winter. Even when the
ground is covered with snow. the
birds will find plenty of grass along
a small stream Of water. Clover hay
is excellent for them to pick at dur
irE the winter months. and II they
have a good supply they will need but
very small amount Of grain.
Early corn should be planted to
supply the work animals with sue
culent food. Animals need green food
to give appetite. and tone up the d.
gestive organs. Adams Early or
Hickory King are good varieties for
