The value of silage as the cheapest

Regularity in feeding and milking
will go long ways towards. making
dairy work successful.
All milk utensils should be heav-
lily timed and as free from, seams as
it is possible to get them.
Many of the Irregularities in the
health of the farm stock can be
traced to injudicious feeding.
Wooden pals readily absorb milk
PARTICLES making it almost impossible
to keep them sweet and clean
The hatching-egg trade and the
of stick a.aG-
sumed the dignity of specialties.
1t is to the poultryman's interest

A young girl who raises about 100

French pigeon fanciers feed millet
