That fresh COW is the most profit
able animal on the farm just now.
There is more danger in letting the
incubator get too hot than too cold.
Horses are most economically fat
tened If they are not exercised at all.
In spite OF the dry season the coun-
try seems to have plenty OF rough
feed.
Cut the ice for use next summer be-
fore it gets too thick-16 inches is
enough.
Where is that surplus of dairy pro-
ducts some folks said We were to have
this year?
II the fruit is stored in the cellar,
II must be we'll ventilated and per.
fectly dry.
A COW that is n small eater will bear
watching She is pretty sure to be O
small producer.
The ration should be balanced TO
meet the needs OF the COW at all
stages OF lactation.
Pruning done correctly will increase
the size and improve the quality OF
most common fruits.
One thing that can be given the
fowls, and which they lack very often,
is pure drinking water.
You can tell laying hen as far as
you can see her. Her comb is always
bright and healthy looking.
Cooking will improve turnips for
fattening hogs because II takes out
considerable OF the water.
The coolest weather does not kill
the insects. Therefore spraying is the
safest method OF killing them.

much litter can accumulate during the
year.
Excellence Is always relative. It's

ration in amounts as high as three
pounds daily.
Two pounds OF mixed shorts and
bran per COW per day is not sufficient
for cows that are expected TO give lib.
eral flows OF milk.
The best place for The incubator is
the one where the temperature is most ,
nearly uniform from day to day, un.
der natural conditions.
Unlike other poultry the turkey has |
never been thoroughly domesticated, !
but has remained practically q wild

Arecord should be kept when sows !
are bred and they should be separ-
ated from the other hogs q week or
two before due to farrow.
Swamp land, when drained and
lined and worked in corn for a year
or two, should be seeded to grass and
kept in permanent meadow.
After the chrysanthemums have
quit blooming, set the pots in the cell
lar. 30 the plants will stand dormant
and be ready to set out next spring.
Selected cows, feed crops that are
grown on our farms, will yield fair
profits to any man who likes the
dairy business and will stay with Il.
An ideal way OF keeping feed, but
