The best feed is cheapest.
Turkeys devour many insects.
Separating cold milk means a loss
of cream. Z
This season of the year is trying on
cows and dairymen.
Get die and stamp your initials on
the cream or milk cans Paint will rub
off in time.
The COW that can hold up well in
milk production in August is valu-
able animal
Selling all the hay and grain raised
on the farm is a sure method OF sell
ing the farm.
From 10 to so per cent of cream Is
lost by setting" milk in pans, say the
experimenters
With the exception of the pillow, the
harrow is perhaps the Oldest of till
age instruments.
Less Kaffir corn in the feed as the
weather gets warmer will keep hens
from getting fat and lazy.

between Biddy and the pigs. She rel
ishes it as much as they.
All fowls, chicks, ducks and duck
lings that are kept in yards should
have plenty of green food every day.
A chicken takes naturally to having
feed handed him, but the turkey is al
most self-supporting until cold wealth
er.
Don't allow the hen-mother to drag
around all day with her brood, as
many chicks succumb through exhaus-
! ton.
One advantage in keeping feed al
ways before poultry is that they do
not have to hurry so to get their
meals.
| In building a wire fence for hogs
put one barbed wire at the bottom and
the worst rooter in the pasture won't
root out
One mite on the back of fellows
neck makes him just about wild.
What must it be to have a million
crawling?
There is still time to put out a crop
of roots for cow feed next winter.
Rich light soil is the best place
| for them.
Turkeys always find ready sale
and are almost clear profit. There is
| always a demand The market is new
er glutted.
Neat, clean crates and boxes help to
quite up to standard of excellence set
by the grower.
If the season is dry, haul few bar
rels OF water to those late planted
| trees. Don't let them suffer for water
during dry spell.
If hogs are lousy, set a small post,
wrapped tight with an old rope, in the
ground and soak the rope with coal oil.
| The hog will do the rest.
Overheating is to be avoided by eau
tious working and careful watching
of work horses; with shade and water
at intervals, is possible.
If you use the litter in the house
keep it dry and clean. Musty and
moldy litter is particularly liable to
cause trouble at this season of the
year.
Plymouth Rocks have been made to
weigh seven pounds, dressed, at
Thanksgiving time, by judicious feed
ing for growth and development while
on range.
Land plaster has a very small per-
centage of lime; lump lime has the
largest percentage and hydrated lime
next Mari is usually a little richer in
lime than ground limestone.
AS the pastures begin to drop off the
cattle grow more uneasy. Look out
for the fences. A herd of cattle will
destroy more stuff in one night than
you can grow in whole season.
Shall we salt stock? A friend says
to feed the salt in the feed and not let
them have access to It. His grounds
are that he does not like to eat unsalt-
ed food, and then go into the pantry
and eat lot of 1t, and he takes it
that the sheep or cow is like him in
this respect This looks like good
logic.
