A poor halter, spoiled colt
Keep plenty of pure water before the
chicks.
Start cucumber seeds In the house
or a cold frame.
Old hens make the best mothers,
but pullets are the best layers.
In fitting horses for hard work, in
crease the grain ration, but not the
hay.
If there were fewer whips In the
world there would be fewer ugly
horses.
AS the lambs grow and require
more milk, Increase the grain with
Judgment
Good seed corn is one of the most
important factors in producing a
good yield.
No man can tell whether corn will
grow or not without making a ger
minaton test
Eleven dozen eggs per year is a
fair average for hens and pullets
kept in large fiocks.
To kill Canada thistles in q field,
put the field in some cultivated crop
and keep the weeds down
When lambs are grown rapidly the
quality of the meat is far and away
ahead of that grown slowly.
Lighting, ventilation and cleanli-
ness must be practiced before best
results can be secured in the dairy.
To insure vigorous lambs, careful
attention must be given the ewes
while they are carrying the lambs.
Stop and think about the water sup
ply II should be secured from a
source uncontaminated by impurities.
Hogs should not as a rule be turned
into more corn ut one time than they
can eat lp clean in two or three
weeks.
Pasturing grass too soon or too hard
is an expensive way OF saving feed;
1t costs several times the amount of
feed saved.
It's all right for chickens to scratch,
but they need little extra encourage
ment to make fiye-pound pullets by
Thanksgiving time.
Here's a chance to show your In
genuity: See II you cannot build the
new chicken coops so they will be n
little easier to clean.
You can rightfully expect more fer
tile eggs from hens that get plenty OF
green food than from those that lived
on dry grains all winter.
Did you ever think how much
ground a good ear OF corn will plant7
1t is Just that much ground wasted
II you plant a poor ear.

The horse that is all the time be-

With hogs Il is no, best to crowd

II the stable should be little too

Prof II. II. Mumford says tho sllo
win add from 20 TO 20 per cont, To tho
profits OF the corn crop. Some give
even higher estimates. In 1909 tho
