have made hay out Of foxtail and
thought that it made very good pick
ing for the cattle to keep them busy
at the racks on cold winter days, but
know that it should not be called a
feed for them. There probably is a
good deal of goodness in it, but not
so much but what two good feeds of
other roughness each day is neces-
sary.
When corn shock twists or blows
down it is a good idea to add it to the
other shocks close around it. Any
way is better than to leave it on the
ground, the fodder to blacken and the
corn to spoil. l have, some years,
spent whole half day setting up
down shocks after bad storm, but it
was time we'll spent There is some
thing about setting up down shocks
that many despise, so the job is often
neglected.
This is pretty good time to build
an ice house and no doubt many farm
ers would do so if it were not for the
fact that we will be liable to have all
the ice we need and then some before

One of the best uses that can be
made of hunting coat and game bag
is to put them on in the regular way

seed corn. 1t may not be as good
sport, but it will pay for more shoe
leather and may be long step to-
ward an automobile.
1t may be that our Canadian BROTH
ers had a mote in their eye when
they voted to defeat the late lamen-
ted (?) reciprocity act, but we need
not look for it, Perhaps we have
some dust in our own that will need
our attention for some time to come.
The cornfields that are dotted with
shocks look good to the eye. 1t
shows that the seasons of short hay
crops and pastures have taught many
Of us valuable lesson in farming.
lnbreeding may be practiced to
certain extent by those who are build

cross breeding has always resulted in
scrubs. 1t does not require much
to see that the result cannot
