TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
The Fall Fresh Cow.

In localities where pasture has been
good COWS will be in good flesh at
calvlng time in the fall. If pastures
are not good before calvng 1t Is well
worth while to supply the COW with
some green feed. A liberal feeding
night and morning is sufficient, and
this practice can be continued with
profit so long as there is green feed
for use. AS soon as the green feed Is
gone then the winter system of feed
ing should at once prevail The point
is that the fall fresh COW should be
made to give her full flow Of milk at
freshenlng time, and that flow should
be maintained by good feeding and
handling throughout the fall and win
ter If the COW comes fresh In the
fall on short pasture and has scant
feed for month or six weeks before
winter feeding the milk flow will
shrink, and very rarely can fall flow
be restored 1t Is much easier to have
the COW In condition for q full dow of
milk ut calvlng time and maintain
that flow than 1t is to build up the
flow after calvlng or after period Of
short feeding.

A missionary in China writes that
the price Of opium Is now higher than
ever on account of the stringent meas
ures taken by the government to sup
press the cultivation of the poppy.
This rise in price, he says. has one
good feature. Raw opium is q poison,
and when the crop is In hundreds OF
women utilize 1t as a means of ending
their troubles Now. however. the
price is so high that the rolls Of opium
contain only about three parts OF
opium to seven Of leather waste. At
least ten such rolls are needed to pro-
duce death. and each roll costs 10
cash. or cent. The price of suicide
by opium is therefore 10 cents, which

string death can possibly scrape to-
gether. In other words. suicide is now
a luxury which only few can AFFORD"

Salt For Dairy Cows.

Many years ago the French govern

test the amount of salt required by
the different kinds of farm stock and
reckoned Il milk COW required total
of two ounces daily, and this CORE
spends with Babcock's figure, allow
ing for differences In the size of differ
ent breeds. 1t is therefore safe to say
that a milk COW requires about an
ounce of salt daily when in milk, be-
sides what she gets In her food. When
out of doors the best way is to let her
have access TO rock salt to lick, but In
doors it must be given in the food In
