WATCHFULNESS AT LANDING
TIME.

A successful shepherd will not spare
himself at lambing time. He must
nsed spend some sleepless nights II he
would save all Of his lambs. If small
separate compartment can be provided
for each eve and she is confined there
in Just about the period of lambing
much personal attention may be
avoided but If ewes are allowed to run
together in a large shed or enclosure
the shepherd must be on hand to look
after the youngsters and see that the
weak ones are made to suck as soon
as dropped and to prevent them from
being chilled.
If the shepherd should find lamb
apparently almost dead from exposure
1t should be at once placed in tub of
moderately hot water, in a few min
utes the heart will resume its action
the blood will course through the little
body and IL rubbed dry and placed in q
warm spot the youngster will soon be
oil right. We have seen lambs picked
up stiff and apparently without life
resEscitated in this manner and within
an hour vigorously taking its milk
from the mother.

One Of the first vegetables Of spring,
as we'll as one of the best grown is
asparagus. It is hardy, grows year
after year from the same roots and, If
properly cared for, never falls to pro-
duce a crop. As ordinarily grown on
the farm 1t Is q troublesome crop and
often poor in quality, but by proper
management and cultivation, a first
class product can be grown as cheaply
and easily as any other garden vege-
table.
Asparagus does we'll on almost any
good, well-drained SOIL but best results
are obtained on deep, rich, loose loan.
Good corn land will give satisfactory
crops Of asparagus. 1t requires liberal
manuring and good cultivation.

of tho second year. but after that a
good yield may be expected.

THE SUCCESSFUL FARMER.

Neatly cared for house and barn and
farm is the indisputable evidence Of
method and prosperity. 1t rarely hap
pens that the slovenly man is success
full. He has too much opposing him
to succeed. The effect Of his own
careless habits constitute too great a
drain to be offset by any amount of
energy. 1t profits very little to earn
money in the fields, II, because of neg
ligence, the house and barn are decay
ing, for want Of paint If tools are
rusting IN the weather, and the stock
not thriving because Of the lack Of
Intelligent attention. 1t takes brains
to be a successful farmer.

RIGHT slRE FOR tn DAIRY HERD
Not Easy to Select One That Will Transmit Good
Dairy Qualities
BY f. @. Eckels.

grade cattle or herds Of low dairy ca
pacity, this method Of selection does
very we'll.
In selecting a young bull the pedi-
gree including the records of ancestors
is of as much or more Importance than
the individuality of the animal. The
things to be looked for in the pedi-
gree are first of all records of pro-
duction by the dam of the animal
If you are breeding for milk produc-
ton. II you are breeding for show
animals get descendant of show an
imals.
| There are some who refuse to have
a bull from the phenomenal record
making COWS for fear the vitality OF
the calf will be weakened. I belong
to the large majority who want the
dam to have the highest record possi-
BILE, other things being equal. do
not expect more than q few of her
close descendants will inherit this high
quality but the chances are better for
them to average up we'll than they
would be for a COW Of lower produc-
tive capacity.
There Is general belief among
breeders that the characteristics of the
dam Of the sire are transmitted
stronger to his descendants than are
the characteristics Of any other single
animal. How much there Is In this
belief, I am not prepared to say.
Next in Importance to the dams
records comes the record Of the sire's
daughters. If the bull has sired many
high testing daughters 1t Is good
evidence but not certain that his son
will also transmit these characters.
Third in importance comes tho
grand dams and so on through the
pedigree.
1t should be kept In mind always
that 1t is much more important to
have a good animal for parent than
noted animal back in the third or
fourth generation.
I frequently hear men speak Of hav-
ing pedigreed bull and when you ex-
anime this pedigree the animal men
toned is found in the third or fourth
generation which means they consider
the most important fact about the bull
to be the eA or IAN per cent of the
blood of the noted bull he may carry.
The close ancestors are the ones that
count.
Care should be taken to discriminate
between official records and private
records Of milk and butter production.
especially where the latter are churn
tests that test the ability of the but
ter maker as much as the butter pro-
duction of the cow. An official record
means what 1t says and so do many
private records but there Ia always an
olep,epf ~ uncertainty about the lat
ter that detracts from their value.

City Offers Good Market for Chrysanthemums.

at the top, while the latter forms Z
bushy plant with several or many
terminal blossoms, according to the
number Of lateral branches allowed to
grow.
OF course a plant which is allowed
to produce a dozen blossoms will not
have as large ones as those that are
allowed to produce only one.
It is surprising, however. to see how
many really fine blossoms single
chrysanthemum plant can produce.
BY starting them in winter and giving
them an abundance of plant food and
care, single branching plant can be
made to produce fifty to one hundred
blossoms three inches across by the
following November.
To say that such q plant Is mag
nificent would be stating It mildly. On
account Of their large size. difficulty In
handling, and limited sale, this kind
is not largely grown.
Chrysanthemums are propagated
from cuttings. After the blossoms are
gone the old stalk, which Is still green
and alive in the soil. begins to send up
new shoots. In fact, some varieties
begin to sprout at the base before the
blossoms arc cut.
These sprouts are cut from the old
stalk and rooted in sand for new
plants. The propagation may be done
any time during the winter or spring.
March is the usual time.
As these cuttings take root and grow
they are transplanted to soil in boxes
or pots, generally two-inch pots
After all danger of frost Is over,
they may be again transplanted to the
garden outside and grown there during
the summer, receiving the same gen.
eral treatment as do most other plants
from which the grower expects the
highest results.
It is not at all difficult to grow
chrysanthemums. They are hardy
plants and do we'll at low tempera-
lures.
Only give them that attention that
other high-bred plants require, keep
the buds and blossoms from frost, and
success will follow. Coming into bloom
all at the same time, and when flowers
are always at a good price. they can
all be marketed at once, thus saving
time and expense.
Many even in remote rural districts
who are interested in Horticulture could
add considerably to their incomes by
growing a few hundred each year for
the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade.
Very little expense for equipment
would be required.

BEE CULTURE FOR BEGINNERS

combs examined. changed in any way

The chrysanthemum stands as the
most popular flower of early winter,
| and with some 1t Is the most popular
and best loved flower Of the season.
Its immense size. gracefulness of
petal arrangement, and exceedingly
long stem make it beyond question one
Of the most regal Of all cut flowers.
It is a flower with distinct character,
and stands in class by itself with no
| competitors. Coming at season
when all garden flowers have been
killed by frost, and just before roses
| carnations and violets have started to
do their best under glass, it bounti-
fully and superbly fills a gap In the
cut flower season that no other flower
could possibly do.
November can be said to be the
month for chrysanthemums. Few

month,
They have only one season for
blooming, and when this season is

just as with other plants. yet the sea-
son for blooming never expands be-
yond certain limits.
No manner Of care or forcing will
make them blossom before cool wealth
err. and no manner of retarding will
hold the blossoms back till later than
Christmas. provided the young plants
are started at the same time in late
winter or early spring.
On the other hand, they respond to
rich soil and good treatment, but the
result is strong, long stems and tiny
blossoms rather than a gain in the
time of blooming.
Length of stem is one Of the great
marks in the measure of value for cut
flowers as viewed by the cut-fower-
loving public Of today.
The longer the stem, the higher the
price, other points being equal. Nor
is this a mere whim of public taste,
but rational choice, since a flower
with long stem, full of sap and crude
or elaborated blossom food, will last
longer than the one with q short stem
or no stem at all.
Flowers with stems a foot long or
more will last from one to three weeks
or more in vase Of water, while those
with very short or no stems do we'll to
last day or two.
The chrysanthemum as grown today
with single terminal blossom has the
longest stem Of any commercial flower
that is generally sold in our country.

Nails should be driven more or less

A slight variation In the width and

not come too close to the bottom Of

The important point is the inside

This must be accurate or the frames
will not fit.
The two end pieces should come be.

This accounts for the fact often OBJ

However, it will be found that on
the average there will be more good
animals among tho offspring of such a
COW than among those from cow of
moderate or low dairy capacity.
We must always expect to find in
ferior animals appearing frequently in
all herds. No breeder can prevent It
but no good breeder fails to reject the
cred. The higher developed we get
our COWS, the more difficulty we must
expect in keeping them all up to the
standard.

There are two courses open to the
man IN selecting herd bull. One is
to buy young bull on the strength

he will be one that will transmit the
