The clearly dairyman keep the dirt

Whale oil soap may be used to de
stroy lice, scale, insects and mealy
bugs.
Clover and grass seed always de
best when they can be started to early
growth.
Profitable beef production in the fu

be made.
In a gallon of 80 per cent. cream

When butter refuses to gather" the
cream may be too soul or the temper.

Lack of thorough cleansing of the
separator is one cause of favor in
butter being off.
1t is a good plan to give a COW a
bucket Of scalded bran as the first
feed after calving.
The man who said 1t is all bosh to
curry COWS was either lazy or crazy.
Get out your curry comb.

Satisfactory results were obtained

After starting to shed their hair in

Glover and grass seed may be

Narrow doors in the sheep barns

Any kind of fruit tree will die

Early peas may be followed by eel

the foundation of the entire pillow, the
.noldboard, share and Landslide all

close observation have convinced

raising a mortgage or lifting a man
from dependence to independence
