Oats are good for poultry.

Warm the water for chickens.
Hogs cannot be raised prof1tabIy ON
corn alone
Kindness and training should begin
with the calf
The horse will keep itself respect
ably clean If given a chance.
Of the many varieties of clover the
common red is by far the best.
Corn is too fastening for laying
hens when kept ID close confinement.
Milk rapidly, bu& do not rush as If
you were pumping water, or heaving
coal.
Dust which is used for poultry
should not be left too long in the
houses.
One great essential in getting win
ter eggs Is to make the hens entirely
comfortable.
A cow with good digestion will al
most invariably bring generous profit
to her owner.
Maximum crops on small farms are
more profitable than minimum crops
on large farms.
The rapid growth and hardness
Of the willow makes it almost in
valuable on the prairie.
No farmer can afford to buy manure
until he has first made use of every
pound produced at home.
One of the greatest developments in
The field of winter dairying and exper-
mentation has been the silo.
1t is very necessary that the dairy
COW have a large, strong and we'll
distended digestive apparatus.
During the past few years more at
tention has been given to seed selec-
ton and improvement by Individual
farmers.
The active laying breeds of hens
must be given more liberty and they
do not need as warm houses as we
have supposed.
A horse should always be tied to
a hitching post with a strong strap
or rope which there is no possibility
Of it's breaking.
Where there is no regular system Of
ventilation, the farmer must, in venI-
iating the dairy barn, avoid direct
drafts on the dairy herd.
The average farmer who keeps two
teams of horses should at least keeI'
one team of good large mares, anc
stallion of the draft type, available.
In some respects a COW is much ike
a person; she enjoys a good, and com
Portable place in which to eat ana
sleep, possibly as well as the best OF
us.
About seventy-five per cent. of all
the corn produced in the country IS
crown in the northwestern and MID
die states. which are known as the
corn belt.
Give ducks a place on your farm.
They are, not hard TO raise and re"
fowls are more profitable than
greet many, when attention is given
70 their needs.
Poultry as a marketable product mas
become very scarce and dear the last
YEAR or two, and the Importance OF
poultrv as a revenue-producer on the
farm needs to be emphasized.
Caese are among the most pront-
c;,,a of all fowls to invest in. for they
can he kept several years for breed
ING nurDoses, and, when your founoa-
tion is once laid, there is little eA-
perse.
Nothing is gained in grinding feed
fo~ the hens. They will do their own
grinding if there is plenty OF gril
available. The trouble is on some
farms grinding material is not very
plentiful.
Want cowpeas. but put on at least
2aG Dorrds of phosphate fertilizer per
ACRE md in TIE fall SOW crimson
~Ioycr On ever. acre of your corn. also
WIEN 500 pounds of fertilizer. If you
omit the fertilizer you are Wasting
your time and money.
Any COW that has freshened IN 'ne
fau end received good treatment IN
the winter. can always be depended
mon to produce for her owner 1uliy
twice as much butter or milk during
the calendar year as the COW that is
fresbencd in the springtime.
