How Much Water?

It is safe rule to provide Ave
pounds Of water for every pound Of
milk that the COW gives. This will
mean that at least IL gallons a day
should be supplied. Cases have been
known where cow would drink 25
or 30 gallons per day In the warmest
weather. Such cow, however, will
produce 10000 or 10000 pounds Of
milk year. The supply should be
as liberal accordingly in the winter as
in the summer. Always the water
should be pure and In the winter it
should be warmed to at least 60 de-
grees. 1t is cheaper to warm the wa
ter with tank heater than to make
the COW do the work with alfalfa and
high price concentrates.

gear From Being Rubbed and
Worn by Pedals.

Those of us who are fortunate
enough to own automobiles know how
hard they are on shoe leather. This
sounds paradoxical, but 1t is true
where a man drives his car himself.
In using the pedals and various other
foot mechanism mans shoe gets
badly scuffed along the sides and on
the heel. A California man has de-
signed shoe protector to prevent
this. A leather flap with broad. stud
ded ends fits under the ball of the
foot and comes up on both sides,

Twin Lambs.

BY selection the percentage OF
twins produced In flock can no
doubt be largely controlled. Some
rams produce much larger percent
age Of twins than others. The above
saying is naturally an English one, as
the English mutton sheep are gener-
ally better mixers than the fine
wool sheep and they are larger. too,
and can better produce twins. That
they have been bred with this In view
more than the fine-wool sheep Ia
shown by the larger percentage Of
twins they produce.
Without doubt one large lamb is
better than two runty ones. II ewes
have twin capacity, breed them to pro-
duce twins. II not be happy with q
100 per cent. increase, made possible
by shifting starving twin to q eve
that has lost her lamb.

Narrowing Planted Corn.

Narrowing corn after 1t Is planted
is looked upon by the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station as somewhat haz-
ardous, because the harrow Is sure to
injure some of the hills. After the
farmer has planted his corn he can
not afford to lose any portion OF his
field through unwise cultivation.
Planting corn more thickly will not
compensate for the loss as the har-
row does not strike all hills alike.
and Is too liable to leave too many
stalks in one hill and too few in an
other. Narrowing before planting is
the better practice. Cultivate after
ward.

The slugs appear twice during the
year, and trees should be sprayed as
soon as they appear. They first make
their appearance about the middle Of
June. and the second appearance Is
about the third week In July.
Insect powder can be used against
these slugs by merely busting 1t over
the leaves.
Hellebore may be used either in a

Laylno Drains.

In laying tile drains, Prof. q. o.
Fippin Of the New York State Agri-
cultural college. says the main drains
should be large enough to provide for
future expansion. For the lateral
drains never use anything less than
three or three and one-half inches in
diameter. In clay soils he recon-
mends laterals not over so feet apart
and at depth of two and one-half to
three feet. The denser the soil the
more shallow the drains must be laid.
In laying drains in clay it should be
done in summer, when the land is
dry. and be sure the clay Is dried
out before 1t is thrown back in the
ditch.
