A brood SOW must be fed properly.
Kill Canadian thistles. and quick
grass.
Wheat bran and oats make strong
| bones in the colt.
The usual time required for churn-
| ing is about 20 minutes.
improvements furnish a few COM
forts and all something to admire.
| Rub off the water sprouts between
the thumb and finger as soon as they
appear.
A lazy man should never breed
colts, for he must be alert and on the
| job If he wishes to succeed.
Man initiates nature. BY grating
schemes he improves on nature.
After that nature initiates man.
An attendant should be on hand at
the time of birth, for a little timely
help has saved many valuable colt
Clean water, pure air and sunshine
are all free; and they are necessary
In the production Of pure, wholesome
milk.
Filth and dampness are great hind
RANGES. The first fosters vermin; the
second brings most dangerous all
ments to fowls.
Watch for cabbage bugs and cab
bage worms. These insects usually
cause trouble when the weather gets
dry and food is scarce.
All of the corn ground should be
manured or otherwise we'll fertilized
for a large yield, and no farmer should
be content with a small yield.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
having the best; so one must watch
for insect pests and be ready with in
secticides and fungicides to destroy
them.
The cows appetite is important, but
it should not be abused. AS much
harm comes from allowing her to eat
too much as comes from not allowing
her to eat enough.
1t is good plan to keep all vegeta-
tion down around the hives, so that
II will not interfere with the fight
Of the working bees, their hive and
the feeding ground.
The best dairymen now practise in
tensive methods with their cows, ma
king them yield the greatest amount
of milk possible by liberal feeding and
the best of shelter and other care.
Geese may be picked every six
weeks in warm weather, but they must
be well fed. When they are picked
often they do not lay, as the growth
of new feathers weakens and debili-
tates them.
Attractive flower beds add much to
the charm of the flower garden.
Coleus, saliva and phloX are well
adapted for bedding purposes. Plants
may be bedded now if they are wa
tered occasionally during summer
Few sheep have as good care as they
ought to have. Too many farmers
leave them to SHIFT for themselves.
They can't do their best that way.
Make much of your sheep. They are
one of the best kind of property on the
farm.
The day of feeding stock of any
kind, and especially sheep, on the
ground has gone by. 1t was most
wasteful way. Sheep will drag more
hay out on the ground and spoil 1t for
their own eating or that of any other
animal than any other farm animal.
Racks are cheaper than hay.
The texture of butter depends part
ly on the animal, partly on feed, and
partly upon the temperature Of the
cream when churned. Cows that give
the richest milk make the most solid
butter. In summer the feeding of a
small quantity of cotton seed meal will
. help to make the butter firm,
Bisulphide of carbon ON piece OF
burlap or oakum, thrown quickly down
pocket gopher's burrow, preferably
when the soil is moist, Professor
Washburn, Minnesota entomologist,
says has killed many pocket gophers
in his experiment work He, uses half
pint of bisulphide at burrow.
All soils with a retentive subsoil
should be tile drained, and work should
be most perfectly planned and exc
cuted. Should water stand few hours
