LITTLE LIFTS FOR
PRACTICAL FARMER
Few Excellent Hints That Will
Prove of Value in Many Dill
ferent Places.

Barley straw has the reputation OF
breeding lice on the cattle; 1t is also
supposed that white cattle are more
subject to insect attacks than those
of the darker shades.
The Collie Is the best known OF all
sheep dogs There Is a great diff
ference between the working dog and
the show Collie, which has been bred
90 much for the fancy points that
It is Of but little service in the exact
ing duties which the sheep dog is
called upon to perform
The mangel is more nutritive as
stock food than the turnip; weight
for weight, It contains more dry mat
ter and a higher percentage of sugar.
It is a we'll recognized principle
that all grain crops thrive best In
fine, thoroughly worked seed bed I'M
derlaid by a solid substratum.
In the ash of bran there Is large
proportion of phosphates, much larger
than in the ash OF barley or oats.
Carrots are not excelled as a food
for the horses. They are particularly
refreshing given to a hunter after a
hard day over rough country or to
work horse. They are usually fed
raw or sliced.
Milk intended to be sent to the
factories should be cooled as rapidly
as possible to a temperature of about
So degrees f. The sooner and more
thoroughly milk is cooled the longer
and better 1t will keep.
Half-ripened cream churns very
slowly-in other words, the butter
from il is a long time corning and the
yield is not so good as from the
properly ripened article.
The bacteria or organisms which
cause the souring of cream are most
active at temperatures ranging from
90 10 100 degrees F. When the tenn
perature falls much below 60 degrees
they become practically dormant.

into the NOV in good condition IL
we are to derive the full feeding value
from the hay crop.
Men who are the best feeders Of
farm stock appreciate this fact and
are willing to undertake the extra
labor of curing their hay in cocks so
that they may obtain its full feeding
value.
1t seems almost impossible to make
good hay from clover and other le-
gumes without curing it in the cock
before hauling it to the barn.
All farm work must be carefully
planned during the hay harvest. Part
of our time is needed in the potato
and corn fields. During the catchy
weather the weeds grow fast and we
must plan to keep ahead of them by
employing our hands at this work
when they are not busy in the hay
field.
We should keep every man busy
without cutting down hay when the
weather is catchy. In fact one of our
greatest problems is to find time for
haying at this time of the year.
With our cultivated crops planted
late and other farm work demanding
the attention we have full program
1t is the time when we must hire
extra men or lose a large part OF the
feeding value of the hay crop.
We prefer to hire the extra mer
when we can get them. They are
hard to find, but we manage to gel
them somehow.
1t is much easier to have the helT
to push the hay harvest and not fall
behind with the other farm work
than it is to become all mixed VI
with our farm work at this time oil
the year.

II requires intelligent management
to keep all hands busy during the hay
harvest without allowing them to be
idle at any time and without sub
jecting any OF the hay to unnecessary
exposure.
Unlike other farm operations, hay
making cannot be followed along def
initely laid-out plans.
Weather is the great controlling
factor in hay-making. Hay will not
dry in a specified time even without
rain. A cool day will not allow hay
to dry half as fast as the next day
with a warm wind blowing
Dry ground is a great aid in drying
moisture from green hay above It,
but If we wait for the dry ground
we are apt to be caught by the next
storm
Ordinarily we must begin cutting
as soon as one storm has cleared up
and we see indications of fair wealth.
err
Every precaution should be used
to prevent undue exposure of the hay
10 dry weather.
The hay tedder hastens the drying
to a marvellous degree. especially If
the hay has already been caught by
The rain in the swath and hay that
is heavy and green. a hay tedder
will soon pay for itself If rightly used.
The side delivery rake is another
valuable implement for stirring the
hay as well as gathering 1t in open
windrows in which the drying may

become brittle and fall off. Unless
allowed to becomestoo dry, they draw
large quantities OF moisture from the
stems, beside they are the most val
liable part of the hay and must go

Green Gooseberry Jelly.

This is made almost precisely like
cranberry jelly. Add Ia cups of wa

berries and simmer gently until the
berries break; then turn into jelly

the juice steadily for Is minutes; add
the sugar, warmed, and stir until 1t

half an hour or until it will jell when

while boiling.
