MAKE TIE FOR cow HUMANE
Fastening Stock Is Descrlbcd-Don't
Have Rigid Stanchion.

There are many contrivances for
fastening the cow In the stall. Do not
be cruel enough to have the rigid
stanchion. The swinging stanchion is
being installed In many stables. and
IL greatly liked The upright iron bar
with the sliding ring and chain. in
the opinion of many breeders OF high
priced cattle. is the easiest and best
kind OF tie. A later form OF chain tie.
which Is an Improvement on the old
style, calls for bar on each side OF
the stall. and ring on each bar with
chain on each ring. These two
chains are joined in the center by a
ring to which is attached the chain
which goes around the cows neck
The bars are short and should be
placed with their lower end about
eighteen inches from the floor. The
side chains should be slack enough so
that when not attached to the COW,
tho center will hang eight or ten
inches from the floor This tie gives
more liberty than the stanchion. and
does not interfere with the COW when
rising. These ties may be easily made
out OF the old chains by the village
The iron bars should be
bolted to the sides of the stalls.

BUTTER AND CHEESE PROFITS
Professor harrington Of Wisconsin
Gives Figures for Comparative
Earnings on Products.

Speaking OF the comparative profits
In making butter and cheese Profess
sor harrington of Wisconsin has this
to say: About 10 pounds of cheese are
made from 100 pounds OF milk and II
this sells for 16 cents per pound II
brings $3.50. to which should be added
at least 10 cents as the value OF the
whey, making $40 Subtracting the
cost OF making, which will be at least
20 cents, leaves $3.50 that may be re-
ceiyed for milk sent to a cheese fac.
tory when the price OF cheese Is is
cents per pound. The receipts for 100
pounds OF milk sent to a creamery
Will be calculated as follows: About
Az pounds of butter will be made
frcm this 100 pounds OF milk and II
the price OF butter is 80 cents the re-
ceipts will amount TO s1.35. to which
should be added 20 cents at least as
the value OF the skim milk, making
s165. Subtracting the cost of making
which would be about 10 cents. leaves
S1.40 as approximately the value OF
400 pounds OF milk II sent to the
creamery when butter is 80 cents per
pound. BY substituting certain prices
for butter and cheese in the calcu-
Iations as stated above, one can figure
On the probable amount he will re-
ceive for his milk when sent to either

Bolles in the Farm, Stoc' and Home
One of these is true water litter, OF
rather recent manufacture, which lifts
the water to 20 feet or more with less
power than many other styles. The
litter in use here is the 500-gallon-per-
minute type and requires four horse
power for that CAPACITY.
The machine consists essentially OF
sc eight-gallon buckets galvanized
sheet steeD swung between two cog
chains. These chains turn about two
large cog wheels suspended loosely
in the well Cor pitt, at the top the
chain cog wheels get their power
through back-geared friction pulleys.
There are two shaftings; one carries
the chain cog wheel and larger fric-
ton wheels, the other the belt pulley
and smaller friction pulleys.
AS the ascending buckets begin
their backward journey the water is
into centrally placed recep-
tacle, directly underneath the shaft
ings. From this vessel the water
flows out around the ascending buck
cts to an outfowing trough. There Is
a brake, so that if the machine stops

FARM NOTES.

Crude oil is almost a cure all.
Silage is rapidly becoming factor
in feeding operations.
Plan to have plenty of shade about
your place next year.
Rotation is very necessary to the
growing of profitable crops.
If you have any metal roofs. it is
policy to ground them. 1t can be done
at very slight expense.
The storage of celery on large
scale is only practicable by the aid
of special houses for the purpose.
On most farms, several acres of
ground might be saved by better ar
rangement of the fields and fences.
Always clean out the yards before
winter begins. 1t is far easier to
keep them in condition when this is
done.
A Frenchman has invented a ma
chine for moving weeds and other I'M
der water growths in streams and
lakes.
Hundreds of farmers are hogging
down rye. Between rye and corn we
have two mighty good crops to turn
the hogs into.
An aftermath of grass in a corn
field is not bad thing for the field,
especially where ali the fodder growth

Saving Squash.

The squashes on our vines lasr year
were only fairly set on September 6,
when signs of frost were apparent
We covered each little squash with
lawn clippings and left the covering
on for several weeks, says a writer in
an exchange. The leaves died. but
the roots continued to afford nourish-
ment to the squashes. which were of
the Marblehead and Butman varieties.
BY October 20 they were quite large,
when they were gathered. carried to
a dry, warm room and laid on the
floor before sunny window. In two
weeks more they were in nice condi-
ton for cooking. fairly dry and of good
favor.

justified by experience and known
to be conducive to the welfare and
