| Cherries require very little pruning.
The COW and the SOW make a good
farm team.
! Drive a colt the first time with y
[ fast walking horse.
The hens will relish feed of scald-
ed oats at any time.
Pull radishes Just as soon as they
are big enough to bite.
Study to be quiet" is a fine thing
in handling a team anywhere.
Chan from the hay NOW floor
makes the best litter for chicks
Too sudden change of diet for the
young calf Is bound to start trouble.
| Covered cream or milk cans on the
way to town bespeak a careful dairy
man.
| There is every indication that grass
fat beef will bring a good price this
summer.
| When the calf is two weeks old
some skim-milk may be added to the
usual feeding.
| A horse that Is watered two or
three times day is apt to drink too
much at one time.
Fine corn meal for the skim-milk
calf is good substitute for the more
expensive oilmeal.
Clean the mud from the horses
limbs during seeding operations, and
prevent scratches and fever
After turkey chicks are six weeks
old they must be allowed to range
else they will be sadly stunted In
growth.
1t is a mistake to try to fatten the
brood SOW. She should not be kept
with the hogs that are being prepared
| for market.
| While 1t requires one sort Of edu-
cation to make a good riding or driv-
ing horse, it requires another to make
a cart borse.
Hens that roost in damp, close
| house are apt to give out in the leg
| joints with trouble somewhat akin
| to rheumatism.
It is easy to notice the effect of
grass on the milk, but, with the cows
that have silage, the change will be
less perceptible.
Fruit trees planted in the hog pas
ture will supply shade and abundance
| Of food in the fall when the trees
come into bearing.
Better dairying should be the aim
of every dairy farmer. It is only as
he strives for better things that he
can approach his ideal.
The man who makes a success at
dairy1ng or any other line OF work
starts with the right aim and never
changes or loses sight of 1t.
| Tests at experiment stations have
shown that 20 per cent Of the cream
Is saved by the use of separator as
compared with hand skimming.
There is no problem that is of
greater importance today than con-
servation Of soil fertility. The dairy
COW, the hog and the hen help solve it.
Good care consists in doing every
thing from milking and caring for the
cows to marketing the butter or cream
as if your whole life success depended
upon 1t.
Mix plaster of Paris and turpentine,
mould In the shape of eggs, and put
one in each nest to kin lice and
mites. Do not use with eggs that are
, Matching.
There are 20 silos within short
distance of this farm. Many farmers
have been closely pressed in order to
! find feed for their stock but none Of
the silo owners were.
A city chicken man has found
good way to break broody hen. He
puts an alarm clock in the nest and
when the clock goes off that hen goes
off too-and never comes back.
The cost of hauling over our coun- !
try roads Is now about % cents per
ton per mile. In European countries
the cost is below 10 cents. Our bad
roads are an expensive proposition
| Shallow cultivation Of corn is most
in favor with the experiment stations,
but much seems to depend upon eli
matte conditions. In dry climates you
can safely cultivate deeper-three to
| four inches.
"How often and what sort of swill
should be fed to sows and pigs? Is
| dishwater worthy of a place in the
| barrel? What procedure is necessary
In caring for the swill barrel to make
It healthful and odorless?"
The fact that most Of the CONNER
! cial orchardists now run to low-head-
ed trees is pretty good evidence thsa
they are the best, because men who
| grow fruit for money seldom take any
| step without first having proven it's
value.
| In using gopher poison 1t should be
given so that the birds will not get it.
Otherwise the farmer kills some Of
his best friends. Prairie chickens and
