Caution on Pasturina Alfalfa.

Alfalfa should be pastured with
very great caution. In fact, the
farmer who holds this matchless crop
in proper regard will pasture some
thing else and just use the alfalfa for
hay. But If the alfalfa is to be
pastured about half enough stock
should be kept on it to keep the
growth down. By this method two or
three cuttings of hay will be obtained
in addition to the pasturage.
:, Another caution to throw out Is that
1t should be allowed to make good
start in the spring before the stock
are turned on, and should be allowed
to go In the winter with good cover.
Under no conditions should 1t be
pastured IN cold weather. s..f

Incomplete Milking Bad.

Incomplete milking not only robs
the dairytnan of the richest portion
of the milk, the strippings, but it dam
ages the cow, tending to lessen her
daily production and to shorten the
period Of lactation 1t takes little
more time to draw the last pint Of
milk from the udder, but the time Is
well spent in view Of the gain both to
the cow and to its owner.

Autumn Calves.

According to some experiments
made in Ireland, calves born in the
autumn made faster gains during the
winter when housed at night in a we'll
ventilated shed than did calves which
received no shelter, but by midsummer
there was little difference in the two
lots. Wet weather had a more in
furious effect on the unprotected cat
tie than did a protracted cold spell.

ALABAMA MAN

Wheel In End of whtff1e Tree

Is No Danger OF Its
LoOSenin9.

Considerable cleverness went into
the designing by an Alabama man OF
the trace connector shown in the cut.
The end of the whiffletree has sepa-
rated parallel sides, with notches in
the ends. Pivoted between these
sides Is a wheel, with two radial slots
and lateral passages running off the
slots. To US this connector a ring is
inserted in the wheel by lining up one
of the slots of the wheel with the
notches in the end Of the whiffletree.

Studying Needs of One Breed.

1t is poor policy for beginner to
endeavor to keep several breeds OF
poultry. The probabilities are that he
will give them all like attention and
food when they need to be treated
according to their natural dispositions
and peculiar needs.
The results are that he will favor a
certain breed because they do better
for him, when in reality the others
would have done just as well If they
had received the treatment which was
due them. Do not attempt too much,
but select breed and then a variety
and stick to them.

Once the wheel is turned there Is no
danger of the ring slipping out of
the slot, as the sides of the whifletree
prevent that The trace is connected
with the ring by a spring hook and
the operation of hooking or unlocking
trace requires only a few seconds
when this device is used.
