in the state who has such a record of
achievement in his line as has Officer
Armstrong. and for Ave years he has
worked with singular effectiveness.
Truancy used to be much in vogue
among Phoenixville schoolboys. and
the new truant officer started in to

FARM NOTES

Cow comfort and COW profit travel
together
Dark, dirty. crowded stables are
favorable to tuberculosis.
1t is always easy to dispose Of fine
stock. either eggs or birds.
Opinions differ as to the proper time
to remove the pigs from the SOW.
Uncomfortable houses and stolen
nests out-ofdors are apt to go togeth-
er.
Never mind the new breeds. II the
one You have is doing well. stick to
that.
The Russian sunfiower is the best
variety to SOW for poultry and for
stock
The right kind Of feed and care in
the dairy is an investment rather than
an expenditure.
Prevalence Of rats or mice In sta
bic sometimes causes horses stabbed
there to kick at night.
II anything Of the horse kind eats
well and still is thin and gaunt. look
out for defective teeth.
Rowing hens may get quite lot Of
animal food in the shape Of bugs and
things. and still not enough.
Fresh poultry manure is said to
have about twice the fertilizing value
Of cattle manure. pound for pound
Green beans and peas may be had
all through the summer and fall IL
seed is sown at different intervals.
The COW that does not pay her
board Is the COW that somebody else
should be allowed to keep for you.
In selecting brood SOW watch the
herd at feeding time The thriftiest
always get to the trough FIRST. and
these are the ones to buy.
Bad practice to sell good brood sows
and replace with young gifts, as con-
tinued breeding from immature sows
will produce a weak strain.
You should not only know how much
each COW produces but how much
It costs to do the producing.
The cream separator should be one
Of the most carefully run machines on
the farm. Much is expected of it and
It should have the best of care
Never buy a brood SOW with short
legs and short. chunky body. She
must have big feeding capacity In or
der to produce plenty of milk.
The soy bean is readily eaten by
hogs and a considerable part Of
their growth may be made by sup
plementing the corn ration with 1t.
