CARE OF EGGS.

In the summer months. eggs
should receive the same care and
consideration as sweet milk and
cream, and be marketed daily, it
possible. They should not be ex-
posed to draughtS OF warm air,
and should be protected from the
rays of the sun and from mois-
ture, In handling, marketing and
shipping. The Common practice
of holding eggs for a higher mar
ket-prlcc in autumn results in poor
quality and serious loss instead OF

q = eggs should never be held.

only responsible for the

A fresh egg y Ill absorb oiors
as readily as fresh milk. Nusti

Eggs should not be stored in

EDUCATION PAYS

1t is we'll enough for a boy to

THE WHEAT PLANT
AND DRY FARMING

An examination of the under
ground portion of the wheat plant
will bring to light some very in
tereSting facts. 1t will be found
that in a we'll developed plant,
growing under favorable dry farm
conditions, that as many as fifty
roots or more will descend to a
probable depth of eight feet. Each
root is supplied with a system Of
lateralS which vary from one to
six inches in length and which are
spaced on either side of the main
root from one-eighth to one
fourth of an inch apart. A very
conservative estimate of the COM
bined length of all the laterals of a
single root might be placed as ten
times the length of the root it.
Root system OF the wheat plant. The
height of the longest straw on the top
OF the head is about three feet. The
length of the longest root is six fec,.
self. 1t thus becomes a simple
matter Of calculation to learn that
the entire root system of a single
wheat plant may approach a mile
in length-a fact not SO startling
when we consider that a single
seed can reproduce itself one thou

the wheat plant cannot mature

BUYING CHEAP HORSES
BY j. M. BELL

Many people are looking for
bargains in horses and mules, es-
pecially at this season of the year.
The farmer thinks he can, no
doubt, attend public sale. in the
large cities and "pick up some
thing little sore but just as good
for work as tirSt-clasS animal"
In this he is mistaken as he will
soon find out.
The bargains" are all more or
less crippled in one way or an
other and it will be we'll to re-
member that the old saying that
Mature never forgiveS an injury"
holds good most certainly with
horses and mules.
Spavins, ringboneS, side bones,
sweeny, naricular lameleSS, sprung
knees, contracted heels, cooked
ankles and other similar ailments
are fixtures in ninety cases out of
hundred.
The writer has bought and sold
horses for over thirty years and
can hardly recall an incident
where one of the cripples his
ever been made Serviceably sound,
much less actually sound.
SO the farmer can bear in mind
the fact that when he buys a
"knocked-up" city horse, that he
is taking long chances and he had
better pay decent price and gel
an animal that is perfectly sound
although the purchase price be
considerable more.
These sore, Stiffened horses OF
mules may do fairly good WORK
on soft, plowed ground but wher
it comes to using them on the
road for any purpose they do no
till the bill and most farmers have
some hauling on the road nearl,
every month of the year.
There is no reason why the far
mer should not have sound, wei
matched team-one that can d.
the regular field work, do servic
on wood and when the occasion
requires, take the family to tn
the neighboring town or church i
proper style.
And another thing, the hire
man takes little interest in work
ing a miS-matched, foot sore tear
but much prefers one that is SCUM
and one that responds to good al
tention, which he is generally vii
lns to beStow upon them.

Swine Utilize Much Grain That Would

In an experiment the Michigan sta

showed that the cows took no nutri-

Now. If dairy COW on moderate IA
tons would waste that much grain.
steers that are being fed forcing ra-

Care Of Brood Sows.

On many farms the matrons Of the
hog herd are the most profitable. They
must have good care and a variety of
food to supply their wants. They
should be fed literally and never let
go hungry. They are twice as valua,
BILE when producing two filters of good
pigs each year as when they produce
only one. This can be accomplished
by giving them care and attention at
the right time. Three days after wean.

feed has been increased. and they. are
In a thriving condition. From this
time on to narrowing they should BE-
fed heterogeneous food. which will nour

THE HORSES HOOPS.
It Pays to Watch For Evidence Of
Lameness From Shooting.


You may groom your horse until his
coat shines like mirror. but If his
feet are neglected the animal will soon
become worthless. says Rural Farmer.
Draft horses are especially liable to
have poor feet if proper care is not
given. They do almost all of their
hard work at the walking gait.
The feet should always be set down
squarely and firmly and lifted quickly
and evenly.
Stand back of your horse and see il
when walking the soles of the feet turn
up and you see the shoes plainly.
The fore feet of draft horses are
often poor. Watch them closely. The
ideal foot has beauty and it shows
strength.
The hoof should be large, sound,
smooth and symmetrical. The color
counts for little. The horn should be
smooth. waxy looking and free from
ridges or cracks. The coronets should
be open. prominent and wide at the
heels. The sole must never be fat or
bullying. but slightly cupped. The frog
and this is very important-must be
large. elastic. healthy and without a
deep cleft.
Go to a blacksmith that understands
his business. Make him tt the shoes
to the feet. Almost every horse must
be treated In a different way.
Watch the feet, If you observe the
horse trying to save them in any way
or limping have them attended to at
once

You cannot expect a COW to
give large quantities of milk I'M
less she has plenty of feed and
quantities of water.
An account should be kept
, with every COW. The way to de-
termine her value is by using
