Cows need plenty of exercise.
Eggs should be culled the same as
other things.
An acre of good pasture will save
ton of ground feed.
Kerosene applied to the roosts will
often drive the lice away.
Geese live almost entirely on grass
and pay nearly as we'll as hogs.
Charcoal in the drinking water pre-
vents Indigestion in young chicks.
Cockerels of the Mediterranean
class dress out very nicely for market.
Milk regularly morning and even
ing Set the hours and stick to them
closely.
Did you ever know anyone to use a
separator and then go back to pan
skimming?
If the orchard is made pasture for
hogs or sheep the trees will be injured
sooner or later.
Improbable cows should be fat
tened up at once on the abundance OF
fall feed and sent to the shambles.
Hog fences have been pretty costly
and hard to build. With woven wire
you can do it at an expense of about
two dollars an acre.
1t will take month-perhaps more
for cow to regain her normal milk
flow If you permit her to be exposed
to the cold rains of early spring.
People of the cities are beginning
to realize that the simple things in
food and vegetables are the best for
health and the only place to get them
is from the growers.
Don't overlook the fact that enc of
the fastest and surest ways in the
dairy to make money is to keep al
ways wedding out the poorest milk
and badly-doing cows.
The door of the barn can be left
open in mild weather and the sheep
permitted to go in and out at their
pleasure, while in cold, wet weather
the door can be closed and the sheep
comfortably housed.
Pumpkin seeds have always been
safe and effective home remedy for
expelling worms from sheep. Even
tapeworms can be gotten rid of by
them, the seeds containing a special
element which is fatal to them.
AS meat producers, a cross between
Poland Chinas and Berkshires or
Berkshires and Durocs is good, as
pigs produced by either cross can be
made to grow faster and fatten easier
than the full bloods of either breed.
Ofttimes the horses that are not
needed through the winter are kept
in the stalls without exercise, much to
their discomfort When spring work
opens, they are put to work with fab
by muscles and, all too often, with
disastrous results.
Separate the layers from the others.
You cannot keep old hens, pullets, fat
and lean hens together any more
than you can keep dry cows, heifers
not yet in milk and fresh cows to-
gether, for they do not require the
same kind or amount of food or care.
A hired man earns his monthly sal
ary, is paid off, goes away; if the boy
shucks his coat and does hired
mans work, don't begrudge him a
good driving horse, or couple of
hundred dollars with which to take
a course at farm school this winter.
After farrowing nothing but fresh
water should be given for "a hours
and then feed lightly only for the
next week. The manner of feeding
and the kinds used for the first month
are of much Importance for on s1ese
depends the health and vigor of the
young pigs.
In pasturing hogs on alfalfa it is
better to provide more pasturage than
the hogs need. Then cut what is left
for hay, just as though 1t had not been
used for pasture Cutting gives 1t
fresh start and the field produces
more pasture than 1t would If these
matches were allowed to mature
