DEEP SHOWS AND ORCHARDS
Danger to Fruit Trees and Shrubs
Where Food Supply of Cotton
tail Is Covered Up.

When SHOWS cover the ground for
long periods, there is danger to the
fruit trees and shrubs. The supply Of
food for the cottontail is covered, and
he is driven to the trees.
Many small trees will be injured
the present winter, says Homestead,
and owners must be vigilant to avoid
damage. The shotgun and the trap
will do something to thin out the
rodents, but they cannot be depended
upon for perfect protection. Feed
may be supplied by throwing down
apple trimmings. Poison may be
used, strychnine in sweet apples. Also
there are fifty applications for the
bark which cause the enemy to avoid
the trees which have been treated.
Grease, blood, fetta-each has it's adj

If veneer protectors are put on Row
press them down we'll into the snvw
and see that they are long enough 80
that if drifts form about the trees,
the rabbit will not get free passage
into the tops. Large trees are prac-
tically safe from the enemy, because
he cannot stretch his mouth to fit
them, but the small tree makes his
opportunity.

Expand your feed supply with a
silo.
Economy in feeding the dairy COW
never pinches the ration.
The silo lends itself admirably tc
efforts at intensive farming.
Oil meal or cottonseed meal and
ensilage is practically as good.
Nothing is better than corn meal tC
bolster up the calves skim milk.
Alfalfa and ensilage make a near.
ly perfect ration. Corn and ensilage
is fine
Skim milk is less digestible thar
whole milk. The safety lies in light
feeding.
Handling eggs has been found ar
ideal side line for the creamery when
properly regulated.
Practically all cases of difficult
churning can be readily overcome by
methods of handling.
Nothing ever came SO near turning
December into June for dairy cattle
and sheep as the silo.
Plenty of hot water must be USED
in keeping the dairy utensils clean
during the hot weather.
Impotence with the heifer that is
freshening for the first time is one
sure way of spelling the COW.
The length of the stall should be
adjusted by the size of the COW, and
always used by the same cow.
ch
must be perfectly clean if a fine quail
ty of cream is to be furnished.
Probably the most prolific source
of milk contamination, as far as num-
bers are concerned, is the milk uten-
sils.
One way to save feed bills is tc
protect the cows from flies during the
summer and the cold weather in tle
winter.

TO PRODUCE CERTIFIED MILK
Barnyard Should BE Free From Ma.
nure and Well Drained-Clear-
Illness Must Be Observed.
(BY c.. 3. LANE.l

Fer the production of certified milk.
the barnyard should be free from
manure and we'll drained, so that it
may not harbor stagnant water. The
manure which collects each day
should not be piled close to the barn,
but should be taken several hundred
feet away.
If these rules are observed not only
will the barnyard be free from objec
tionable smell, which is an injury to
the milk, but the number of flies in
summer will be considerably dimin
ished
In the stable cleanliness must be
strictly observed. The stables should
be we'll ventilated, lighted and drained
and should have tight floors, prefer
ably of cement, never of dirt.
They should be whitewashed inside
at least twice year, unless the walls
are painted or of smooth cement finish
which can be washed frequently.
The air should always be fresh and
without bad odor. A sufficient num-
Der of lanterns should be provided to
enable the necessary work to be prop
erly done during the dark hours.
The manure should be removed
twice daily, except when the COWS are
outside in the fields the entire time
between the morning and afternoon
milkings. The manure gutter must
be kept in a sanitary condition.
All sweeping must be finished be
fore the grooming of the cows begins,
so that the air may be free from dust
at the time of milking.
Remove the milk from each COW
from the stable Immediately after it
is obtained to a clean room and strain
through a sterilized strainer of cheese
cloth and absorbent cotton.
The rapid cooling is matter Of
great Importance. The milk should
be cooled to 45 degrees F. within an
hour and not allowed to rise above
that as long as it is in the hands of
producer or dealer.
In order to assist in the rapid cool
ing, the bottles should be cold before
the milk is put into them.
All utensils should be as simple in
construction as possible, and SO made
that they may be thoroughly sterilized
before each using.
Coolers, if used, should be sterilized
in a closed sterilizer, unless a very

Plant food in the soil is largely in
an unfavorable' condition. Before the
potash, phosphorus and nitrogen be-
come available the soil must pass
through the stage of disintegration
and chemical change, which can take
place only under favorable conditions.
There must be present moisture, heat
and air. These are largely controlled
by cultivation and climatic conditions.
