Flies cut down the milk supply.
You cannot begin to feed and train
a colt too early.
| The COW that gives much milk must
have plenty to drink.
| Climate is an element in the diff
cult art Of turkey raising.
| Continue the spraying of grapes
/ with bordeaux mixture to prevent rot.
It's an i'll wind that chills a new
born animal. Time of year cuts no
figure.
When chicks stand around listless-
ly and peep, lice are very often to
blame.
In hard times or prosperous years
the man with few good COWS is well
insured.
A good cream separator with sew
eral good COWS will soon abolish a
mortgage.
Be patient with the COWS They
can't help giving you swat in the
| face with their tails.
Wet mashes are better for fattening
/ fowls because they are more easily
digested than dry feeds.
Strips of cane sown at intervals, near
the cow lot, will come in handy when
pastures fail in early fail.
No land is so rich that it's owner
| can afford to waste the manure that
is made by his farm stock.
| The work of lice is often mistaken
for disease. When fowl seems to
be ailing look for lice first.
| When cultivated cowpeaS are to be
cut for hay, the ground does not want
to be ridged up very much.
| Move the colony houses and brood
coops on to fresh ground every day or
two and the chicks will grow faster.
Feeding the chicks too much is
worse than waste, as feed lying about
will soon sour, and then comes trou-
BILE.
Chickens at ten weeks old are ready

Veal calves in hot weather will grow

| be cleaned out and we'll ventilated.
Unless the little turkeys are allow
&c free range all the time, they should
/ be kept shut in on rainy days ana
mornings when there is heavy dew.
If the peas are obstinate about u.s.

In order to get the greatest profit
1
sary to encourage them to consume as
much of the cheap feeds as possible
early in life.
Don't expect the hired man to
work in hay and harvest till dark, and
then milk a dozen COWS after dark,
and be very gentle about it. He isn't
built that way.
Clover should be cut for hay when

To insure the highest per cent. of
