clover hay, shelled corn or other suit
able pig foods. Letting them nibble
during the day at hay or other solid
food will keep them from becoming
so hungry between regular feeds and
will allow the times for feeding to be
reduced to twice daily.
Bee keeping Is pefng carried on with
both profit and pleasure by many
of people in all parts of
the United States, and while as
rule it is not the sole occupation of
those who pursue it, there are many
places where an experienced bee
keeper can make a good living by de-
voting his entire time and attention
to this line of work.
Take up gladioluses, tuberoses, ia
cobean lilies, tiger lilies and all other
tender bulbs, place bulbs on boards
u1der the shed to dry for few days.
then pack boxes between lays Of saw.
dust or wheat chaff and store in mod.
erately warm dry cellar. The tenn.
perature of cellar should not go below
so degrees.
Cabbages can be kept well pre-.
served by digging trench and bury
ing them under six or eight inches
of soil. Do not cover to this depth at
once, but gradually, to prevent over
heating. You will get far more salts
faction from this method than by try.
ing to keep them in the cellar.
While it is not uncommon to put In
few Of the largest eve lambs 1t Is
never wise to do so for the reason
that ewes thus treate1 are prevented
from the best development of which
they are capable, and the lambs OF
immature mothers are seldom equal
to the produce of older stock.
The colt should have a little grain
feed, such as bran and oats and lit
tie cracked corn, about the middle Of
each forenoon and afternoon while
it's mother is at work, as well as
always at regular feeding time in q
little trough all it's own.
With a good, pure-bred beef sire, 9
herd Of native COWS and plenty Of
pasture land, a farmer may in two
or three years, time develop good
grade beef herd. which will largely in
crease his profits and maintain the
fertility of the soil
A flock of sheep can be classed as
the tender part of the stock of the
farm, but they are, to great extent
self feeders and ask but little Of the
flock owner but they want that little
done at the proper time and in the
right manner.
In setting young asparagus in thu
spring it should always be done be
fore the shoots start, because the
first buds that start are always the
strongest, and If these are broken II
setting weaker buds have to do thu
work.
Don't allow too many pigs to sleel
together in the same bed, for the!
will pile up, sweat and contract colds
causing them to cough all winter
They may be so stunted that the.
never will make good hogs.
There are not many horses which
can stand sudden changes in eithe
quantity or kind of feed. Violation o
this rule brings sudden disaster, II
fact, undertaking is much to be pre-
ferred to overlooking.
AS a rule it will not pay to hold tn
pig crop for prices to rise unless the
are making good gains all of the tim
thye are being held. Where few
feeders win out in playing the marke
game, many lose out.
The trouble with great many poul
try keepers is that they think the,
can fly before they are really able t
walk. Take time to learn the busi
ness. By and by the flying will com
easy enough.
The practice of using young gilt
for breeding purposes and allowin
them to run with the fattening hog
during the period of growth and ges
tation, is largely responsible for small
filters.
Where a number CT calves are be
ing grown by the hand method at tn
same time, feed each calf from a SCI
arate pail. In this way each will re
ceive it's share and none will ovel
feed.
Good blood is essential to the pre-
ducing of good horses, but not an
more so than the material that form
the food for producing the All
NAL when once started in life.
Farmers usually do not pay stuff
cient attention to the feet of thei
horses. Think of the work they d
and how much they must suffer j
they are not shod carefully.
1t is a common rule to start lamb
