FORM OF THE POLAND CHINA
Good Sow Should Possess Shoulder
OF Great Depth and Fair Width,
With Ribs We'll Sprung.

A good Poland-China SOW, says a
breeder. should have shoulders OF
great depth and fair width, the ribs
well sprung to give room for the vital
organs. and for this same reason tho
breast bone should be set low down,
and be wide. filling out the sunken
places just back of the front legs, or
shoulders so noticeable in scrubs.
The hips should come forward and
connect to the backbone near enough
to the shoulders, SO that the connect
ing point is litlle short of midway
of the entire distance from the shout
der, to the rear of the ham, thereby
making strong back with good,
stout coupling. and giving a great top
and fore length to the ham.
This shape of hams and back will
give deep, full sides with great length
of lower line when well let down in
the TANKS, enabling the SOW to carry
a good-sized litter without getting SO
stuffy and clumsy.

Udder troubles are frequently the re-
suit of bad feeding.
A warm bran mash is fine for the
COW just after calving.
Because a COW is dry is the least OF
.easons for neglecting her.
Have no hesitation in disposing of
Improbable COWS. They are a mis-
take.
A concrete vat for the milk house Is
sanitary. satisfactory and cheapest IN
the end.
Sunlight and pleasant surroundings
are great factors in stimulating large
milk yields.
The butter fat in milk is very va
riable. but is it's most important and
valuable constituent.
II will be noticed that though the
prices of other farm stock are failing
on. the dairy COW still holds her own.
The cream separator is the most
carefully adjusted piece Of machinery
on the farm and needs attention ac-
cordingly.
The COW should be fed so that she
will produce full flow of milk and
maintain practically the same flesh
condition.
Kansas has 6ss,0OO milk cows &C
cording to government statistics of
January l. 1912. being the ninth state
in this respect.

SOIL READY FOR IRRIGATION
Farmer Should See That His Field Is
Smooth on Surface and Level All
Ridges and HolloWs.

(By T.. Il. HOUSE. Colorado Agricultural !
ColiegeJ
The thing of first importance is to
see to it that the high spots in the
field are removed and that the To-
spots are filled; in other words, he
should see that the surface of his field
is smooth, and here is where the or
binary farmer falls down. After plow-
ing anc narrowing his field he per
haps runs a drag over it, and then
seeds it, leaving ridges and hollows,
hole- and knobs. When he irrigates
the field it is necessary for him to
almost drown the low spots in order
TO wet the high ones Water will often
be found from one TO two feet doep in
places in the field.
If, when the blowing and narrowing
are completed, the farmer would take
scraper and take down the knobs
and fill up the depressions with the
dirt thus removed, in the course of
year or two he would change the field
from one hard TO irrigate to one ex-
ceedingly easy for irrigation. He would
find that practically one-half the
amount of water that he was COM
PEELED to use in the first place is am
pie after the field has been smoothed
in this way. More than this, he will
field that his crops yield better. for
when an excess of water is applied to
the low spots, the crop at these places
in the field is always injured. 1t Is
not an exaggeration TO say that as
much damage TO the crop is done by
forcing the water up TO the high spots
as would be done by allowing these
high spots to suffer from lack OF
water.
A word of advice now, for the pres
ent season will soon be upo.. us. AS
you irrigate your fields this spring and
summer stake the high spots, driving
the stakes down sS that they will not
Interfere with harvesting, ard mark on
these stakes about how MUCH too high
the land is at that poiA:; then after
the crop is harvested in the fall see to
it that these high spots are removed
and after blowing. smooth the sur
face with great care.

feed them. The old barn formerly
fused for storing hay a part OF the
season and for a cattle shelter the re-
manning time had the two sheds add
ed on either side as shown in the ex-
terror view and the floor plan. The
old building was divided into corn
cribs. feed room. grain room. etc. The

other side for sheep. the loft holding
the rough feed for the sheep. In

Indigestion In Sheep.

Indigestion is very common all
ment among sheep during the winter
months. and attacks are frequent. es-
pecially while the flock is confined to
dry feed. The ailment may be char
acterized as a failure of the natural
changes which feed undergoes in the
alimentary canal. Sheep confined to
dry, narrow ration, without any form
of succulent food, are more apt to
suffer attacks of indigestion than
when on pasture. Ordinarily the all
ment is not serious. but If permitted
to run its course takes n more acute
stage and frequently results fatally.

LIVE STOCK)


Make separate pen for your
brood sows and don't have too much
straw.
A man who will keep his sheep in
a muddy lot has small conception OF
his duty.
withdrawing stables makes them
lighter, cleaner and much more
healthful and sanitary.
When a farmer has had silage for
his ewes one winter he hardly knows
how TO keep them without it.
When horses are first put in a
strange barn they will frequently not
eat well for perhaps a week.
Noon is good time TO supply the
stock with some green stuff, such as
cabbages or roots OF any kind.
A sheep is the most nervous animal
on the farm and get into low condi-
ton quickly and RECEIVERS slowly.
Silage keeps the sappy appearance
of the sleeps bodies and luster In
the wool that dry feed will seldom do.
Don't feed carrots too literally to
the horses; they are laxative. Cut
in slices so they can be easily chewed
up.
A pig five months old requires one
pound OF digestible heterogeneous feed
to five pounds OF digestible carbohy'
drates.

Finest Bacon and Hams.

The finest bacon and hams raised
In England come from hogs fed
principally upon skim milk and bar
icy meal. 1t is claimed by the Eng.
ish producers that American hogs
are practically all fed on corn. which,
although perfectly wholesome food,
lends to make the hog fat and a lit
lie mellow. whereas feeding by the
british method gives a meat beauti'
'ully white and as solid as meat need
be.

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change of life " is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near is not
without reason
When her system is in a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
irregularities, constipation, vari-
able appetite, weakness and
inquietude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period N life when woman's
great change may be expected
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. II

Use of Blood Meal for Calves.

A little blood meal, commencing
with a teaspoon and gradually in
creasing to a tablespoonful at each
feeding, is said to have beneficial
results with calves that are not doing
very well, but as this meal contains
about 60 per cent. of digestible pro-
tein 1t would hardly seem to be n
proper complement to skimmilk for
