| The high-headed tree Is easier cul-
tivated, but the low-headed trees
makes the fruit picking easier.
The length Of the stall should be
adjusted by the size of the cow, and
always used by the same COW.
Rabbits are very particular about
their food and any faint on the tree

Nothing better than camphorated oil

The number Of acres required to feed
a herd of 20 COWS in full milk will de-
pend largely upon the condition Of the
ground and the season.
Beans are not as good feed for
| live stock as peas, simply because
they are not as palatable, the cows

Many farmers have yet to learn that
| a cow cannot live upon an unpalat-

Manure for farm crops. such as po-
tatoes, corn and fodder-corn, should
be hauled and spread over the sod

er or cowpea hay to go with his corn
fodder does not have to buy any high
priced mill feed to balance up the
cows rations.
Never milk the COW with wet hands.
