Enoland's Oldest Bowling Green.

Which is our oldest recreation?
There are not wanting psychologists
who profess to be able to trace refer
ences to football and baseball on

when it comes to actual records, the
fine old English game of bowls would
appear to be as old as any.
Southampton. Eng, has records
showing that one of the local bowling
greens was in existence in 1893.
Many interesting customs are asso-
ciated with the game on this historic

green while the other players gather
round him and the master touches

LESS WORK FOR HOUSEWIFE
Introduction OF Modern Engine
Thresher Takes Many Burdens
From Shoulders Of Women.

The work OF the farm housewife
has been greatly lessened by the use
Of engine threshers. Formerly when
farmers went about from one farm to
another, helping each other to thresh
the grain, the farrl-wife was COM
PEELED to cook for gangs OF men. often
for days at time. and with seldom
sufficient help. her lot was indeed
hard one. Now. the owner OF an en-
CINE thresher rides about the country
during the summer days making his
thrcehing contracts. In the fall he or
ganizes his force and starts on his
rounds-he provides all the men nee
essary. takes along tent. employs n
cook and relieves the farmer and his
family or all work in connection with
threshing. A counting machine regis
ters the number of bushels turned
out. and when his work is ended he
receives the farmers check for his
services. hooks up his teams to the
traction engines and goes on to the
next field.

Some of the handsomest, soundest

and. while they are splendid animals
for use, they are unsuitable to breed
to. Every grade has a yellow streak
in him, and this is just as likely TO

TOOLS FOR A GARDEN

Oid-F Fashioned Hoe and Rake VIII Not

(By c. S. MILLER)


The growing of vegetables and fruit
has become 30 important that i'm
proved tools are now demanded for
proper cultivation. In order to get
the very best results cultivation must
be carried to the limit and the old
fashioned hoe and rake will not sup

gardener
Those shown in the accompanying
picture are all extremely useful, and

for the great number OF uses to which
1t can be put in both field and garden.

A silo will pay for itself in one year.
BE sure that the calves are started
right.
A farmer owning six cows should
have silo.
BE sure that the temperature of the
milk is right.
1t is not possible to grow too much
forage on dairy farm.
A comfortable stable reduces the
cost of maintenance and increases the
flow of milk.
Feed regularly, not too much at
time. and young calves at least four
times a day.
Nothing can be marketed on the
farm so successfully or so economi
cally as butter.
The dairyman who does not keep an
individual record of his cows is not
an up-to-date dairyman.
If the NOV is nearly empty and the
| feed low in the bin. don't cut down
the rations of the cows.
The dairy farm that is stocked to its
full capacity without being overstock-
ed is a pretty safe investment.
When an animal forms habit.

part Of its life as long as 1t lives.
| Draining the butter well before salt
ing is one of the little things that
makes for better quality of product
Experiments have proven the aver
age milk COW requires about an ounce
of salt per day. Heavy mixers should
have more.
Success does not lie in the number
OF COWS the dairyman keeps. but in
the kind he keeps and the way nc

Glover BIoat.

Bloat In cattle generally comes as
the result of pasturing clover. though
II is fact that in some cases ordi-
nary grass pasture will produce the
same results If 1t is rank when cattle
that have not been used to 1t are turn
ed in. The Importance OF getting cat
tie used to clover while it is dry can
not be overemphasized.
1t may be necessary in some in
stances to turn them in for an hour
or two only during the middle OF the
day, and continue this for two OF
three days. so that the ravenous edge
for the new clover is taken on their
appetites. Under no circumstances
should they be turned from dry lot

Regulating Weight,

There is only one way TO regulate
body weight and that is by the
natural method-by diet. exercise.
bathing. etc.-by alimentation and
elimination. The nostrums advertised
to take off flesh without change of
diet are all dangerous. BE sure of
that. and avoid them. The same diet
that will put flesh on thin man will
take flesh off a fat one. In other
words. natural diet produces a

SUPPLEMENT TO A Posture
cal Method Of Supplying Feed To
Help Out Pasture.
tBy r. C. wEAThERsToNE.)


Green crops fed as supplement to

most economically in the barn. The
COWS remain inside long enough at
milking time to eat their portions.
AS a rule the most economical
method of supplying fed to help out
the short pastures of midsummer and
fall is to feed corn silaLe. Silage will
keep in good condition for summer
feeding with no loss except on the
surface. If 1t is not needed during
the summer, it may De covered with
the new silage and kept until wanted:
Corn furnishes a larger yield ri dry
matter per acre than any crcp THAI
can be ordinarily grown for summer
feeding, and has tile further advan-
tage of being Cd hand as early as
wanted
II Is handled more economically also
| than soiling crops since 1t is cut all
at once and not every day as Is neces-
sary with soiling crops.
1t should be remembered that 1t Is
only possible to feed bunch of COWS
economically When they are fed as
| individuals and not as a herd. A
too common practice, even in the
otherwise we'll conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
OF grain. regardless of the time they
have been in milk or the quantity OF
milk the individual COWS are produc.
ing. Such feeding always lacks econ

not get enough, and while she may
milk very we'll for time. she boon
comes down to lower level. while
the lighter producing COW usually
gets too much feed and accumulates
