COWS AT cArvrra TIME

When the time for parturition draws
near remove the COW to a comfortable
box stall and provide her with good
bed of straw and feed her about what
good ensilage and hay she will eat with a
relish and give her an abundance of pure
water. This will give her the proper
stimulus of distention and prepare her for
an easy and safe parturition.
When parturition takes place, II the
presentation is natural. the fore feet
are seen first. and the head lying on
and partly between the legs, little
below the knees. If the calf makes its
appearance in any other form it is un-
natural and the chances are the COW viii

SHALL BUY CONCENTRATES roR
Sheep

This is question that comes up for
solution with many farmers and at first
glance considering the high price OF con-
centrates one would be inclined to say
no. But unless there is plenty of clover
hay COW peas or other feed rich in pro-
TEN and mineral matter available it looks
as if it would be necessary to buy some
concentrates to balance the ration.
A few years ago when concentrates
were cheap, sheep and wool were also
cheap. Now DOL is orth twice as
much as 1t was ten years ago and the
sheep must have some ricn food In order
to grow a rich fleece.
One thousand pounds of wool contains
7S pounds of nitrogen. as much as is con-
tanned in 46S pounds of protein. 1t would
take 1.040 pounds of protein seed meal to
supply enough nitrogen 10 grow Loo
pounds of WOOL 1925 pounds of wheat
bran would supply the same amount or II
would take $3.50 pounds of corn to supply
the same amount of nitrogen.
1t is easy to see the need of food
rich in protein-r,cher than is found or
many farms for the sheep. and If this Is
not supplied the wool clip will be light
and the sheep viii not thrive well.
The ewes will not be prepared with pien-
ty of milk to nourish the lambs When
they arrive in the spring.
If we cannot afford TO furnish good
nourishing ration for the sheep during
the winter it is questionable whether we
can afford to keep sheep at AHA.

ORCHARD NOTES

Do not plant tres with bunch OF
spreading roots Trim them of to within
four or five inches of the root stock.
Might as well give the trees plenty Of
room at the start because If you don't
they will have to be cut out later. Thirty
feet apart is the right distance for apple
trees. although 40 feet would not do any
harm.
Pillow your ground deep and prepare the
soil as carefully as you would for the corn
field Nature often performs wonders
with trees but as a general rule she ought
to have a little intelligent help
If your favorite cherry tree is badly de-
cayed. clean out everything in the cavity
as carefully as your dentist would pre-
pare a tooth for filling, then spray thor
oughly with a per cent solution of form

h.arlier thinning accomplishes this re-
suit in a still more marked manner.
There is also a greater number OF
windfalls from unthinned than from \

defective fruits by thinning. also 70
lessened drain upon the vitality of Isle

Owing to the necessity of producing
a better grade of fruit than formerly,
and OF more careful packing, thinning
the fruit cannot be neglected.
Thinning is one of the measures 10

alone it cannot produce the desired re-
suit, nor can varieties in which the
habit of fruiting in alternate years IS
strongly fixed be much changed in this
way.-W. J. Green, Ohio

Do not neglect the window garden
even though the plants are at their
best. Turn the plants once week; stir
the surface soil; wash the pots with
strong soap suds; give plenty of fresh air
daily: shower the plants once a week;
watch for pests See that the warm
spring sunshine does not scorch your
plants.
Plants that are intended for bedding
should be shifted as they fill their pots
with roots and give plenty of sunshine
and air. Otherwise they viii be weak
and 'leggy.''
If YOU wish to get specimen cannas
and dahias start few in the house
early. Remove roots stocks and IN
necessary fiber and cut into single eyes.
Then pot in four-inch pots In rich soil
shift when the pots fill with roots. The

that il beats clover which of course II
does not.
lousy pig is a sure sen or poor

only way to get rid of the vermin is
to dip the pig with some good disinrect-

Many farmers use a boar of different
breed of that of their sows to produce

tice for the first cross. but the sows
from such cross should never be bred.

BUYING A MANURE srREADnR

The modern manure spreader is built
so as to give sufficient capacity Tor
large load and unless the ground Is dry
and level three or four horses should be
attached so that we may facilitate the
work
Owning a manure spreader stimulates
Us TO get the manure out as fast as il il
made. preventing all loss from heating
and washing It spreads the manure
more evenly than 1t could be dorle by
hand so that II covers more acres with
the same good effects to the land cover
ed that it would have if a large amount
we're applied by hand.
We have found during the recent years
that there is a loss of fertility when
manure is spread in too large quantities
The manure spreader is a great econo-
mizer of labor which is very iInpor-
tant item to be considered at the present
time
In buying a manure spreader We should
note very carefully how strongly il IS
built at the places where the wear and
tear will be the greatest when the ma
chine is in operation. 1t should distribute
all kinds of manure evenly. There
should be the same quantities spread on
the outside as in the center OF the space
being covered.
This is a very important point to be
considered in selecting machine, With
any make Of spreader care should be
exercised in loading if the machine Is TO
do its best field work. 1t viii pay every
man to investigate these points before
he buys a machine. on the average
stock farm the machine Is a good in
vestment-W. NJ. Kelly.

it is especially adapted to watermei-

dozen watermelons in each can and
keep the box where it is warm tin the

keep down any weeds that may spring

Dampen the soil daily and provide
as much sunlight as possible by settlns

day is warm and bright place the box

essentials to t-production-air ana

When the plants are large enough
for transplanting and the danger ~

with the young plants from the cans
place them in a rich hill prepared ex-
presslv for the purpose, being care
full not to remove any of the soil from
around the roots of the plants.
After they are all started growing
thin them out until there are 1--WE
