Be careful about feeding the horse
new oats at first.
The sow should be fed but little i'm
mediately after narrowing.
Raise hogs, but remember you
must raise forage crops for them.
The most practical time for weaving
colt is when about five months
old.
Sweet corn fed to the dairy stock or
the growing pigs in the green stage, is
profitable.
The only remedy for the cattle short
age Is for the country to 60 back to
cattle breeding.
The box stall Is a better place for
horses that require rest on account Of
lameness than grass field.
The cheapest method Of producing
meat of any sort in almost every case
is by keeping the animals on pasture.
The man who has good bunch
Df COWS or stock cattle properly To-
Gated these days has no cause to
worry.
To avoid worrying the colt, tie with
In sight Of dam and give some grain.
Be sure that the colt has plenty of ex-
ercise.
Plans are essential to success in
feeding stock of all kinds. Mix
some brains with your feed and get
results.
Provide warm quarters for the lit
ter of fall pigs. Don't let the young
sters get a backset. Keep them
growing.

STORING CROPS FOR WINTER
Cellar Should Be Carefully Cleaned
and All Defects In Walls Made
Tight With Mortar.
fp~ WAITER r. LEUTZ.)

(By WALTER 3. LEUTZ) !.
Have the cellar carefully cleaned be-
fore storing away any Of the winter
supply. II there are defects In the
wall make them tight with mortar. II
the windows are loose, repair them.
These little things may be the means
of saving the entire contents OF the
cellar. =
If the potatoes incline to rot, sorS
carefully and put in no questionable
specimens. Dust the seemingly per-
feet ones with lime.
II the winter squashes are picked
before they become fully ripe they
will be much more apt to mold and
rot. !
Make the cabbage heads which Ina
cline to burst into kraut II you fear
trouble in keeping 1t cook part and
put into cans, sealing with paraf1n.
The solid heads need not be put into
the cellar until November, but may be
left growing.
Do not despise the small bsets. tar
nips and apples. The stock will need
them II you do not. And 1t In aston
ishing how much stuff Of this kind
chickens require to keep them at theix
best. Give them the parings now and
save the small fruit or vegetables for
winter use.
If you have more stuff than yos
need and It is not Of sufficiently good
quality to offer for sale, perhaps some
neighbor could use 1t to advantage
Many a poor man Is glad to get even
the culls and windfalls from large
orchard-and the latter Is the bstteS;
for their removal.

SELECTING GOOD
DAIRY ANIMALS
Systematic Plan of Examining
Calves Needed to Bring Herd
Improvement.
BY W. NJ. KELLY.)

Many dairymen make a practice of
raising every heifer calf and fail to got
results. Then they select the heller
calves from the best producing cows
and get nearer to what they want, but
still there are many inferior cows
raised by them.
It Is not until we begin to carefully
examine every heifer calf that we can
conduct any systematic plan Of i'm
proving the quality Of the dairy herds,
for, unless the calves are good indi-
viduals and have stamina and strong,
vigorous constitutions, no matter how
literally they are fed, some will
fail to come up to the qualities Of their
dams.
Every heifeT calf should be care
fully examined and If they show signs
of weakness they should not be raised.
Open their mouths, and If you find,
after examining their teeth. that you
oan see but four of the milk teeth, you
can make up your mind that such q
calf Is hardly worth raising.
Many raise their calves. but few turn
out to be profitable cows. Next ex-
anime the navel and teats. If the
teats are not placed In their right
position do not waste your time and
J iood trying to make good cow out
OF such calf.
When we find a heifsr calf that
comes up to our standard or require
msnts and when we decide to keep 1t
we must not forget that its value as
a COW depends largely upon the treat
ment that It receives during the first
two years Of its life.
Calves must be well cared for and
fad In such a manner that they will
never lose their calf flesh.
After they are few months old
thew should be turned out and allowed
nIenty of exercise and good air so that
they may build up strong muscles and
good strong organs of respiration.

pots and pans that some Of US have

EXCELLENT AS CALF WEAVER
Device Invented by Iowa Man VIII
Cause Mother Cow to Take Mat
ters In Her Own Hands.

After a certain age, of course,
calves have to be weaned away from.
their mothers and made to feed on
other things than milk. But some
calves, like some infants, object to the
change Of diet. In the case Of the
calves, an Iowa man has invented a
device which will cause the mother
COWS to take the matter in their own
hands-or horns. A small board is
fastened to a ring that pierces the
calfs nose. Rising from the board are
two spikes, and depending from it is
a flexible shield Of joined rings, like
