Build a scratching shed.

Give the chicks the sour milk
Constant vigilance Is the price OF q
clean swine herd
Dc not waste by feeding more
than the animal can digest
Milk that Is kept clean and properly
cooled needs no preservative.
Equal parts OF corn and oats are
hard to excel as grain feed for sheep.
Paint all the wounds made In prun-
ing with pure white lead and pure Hin
seed oil.
It Is cheaper to remove the cause
| OF disease than to doctor the chick
ems afterward-
The young calf should have an
abundance of good clean clear water
before 1t at all times.
The moisture going III with the sir
age should be kept In. This keeps the
silage from ~dry-flring."
1t pays to grade all small fruit. Il
demoralizes prices to have small, bad
berries mixed In with large ones
Spraying with whitewash once q
month will go long way toward
keeping down vermin In the poultry
house.
It never pays TO market stock that
is not fat. Plenty Of good yellow corn
| viii make any healthy bird fat in two
weeks.
Experiments show that chickens
with strong vitality and plenty of
masculine characteristics make the
largest gains.
II you have any chickens roosting
in the orchard trees, you had better
let them know what the hen house
was built for
Don't allow your horses to drink a
large amount of water on coming into
the stable very warm. Allow them
to cool off a bit first
The profit in pig feeding depends
upon the cost of the feed given them.
Therefore anything that cheapens the
feed increases the profit.
Bitter rot and blotch are two Of the
most difficult diseases of the apple
to control. Late spraying with bor-
deaux mixture Is most effective.
No matter how healthy and strong
the chick may be when Matched, the
strength will soon disappear when not
given the proper feed and attention.
| Humus Is the name applied to the
partially decomposed organic (animal
and vegetable) matter of the soil. 1t
is the principal source of nitrogen in
the soil.
The farm mortgage that has out
lived every other line of activity very
frequently succumbs to the dairy COW
and the milk check which she brings
in every week.
The profit in a cow consists of the
money the milk or butter will sell for
over and above the cost for feed This
cost will not be materially different be-
tween the cows kept on the average
farm.
| The object of sanitation In the hog
yards and houses is to secure the
greatest degrees of bodily health and
vigor, because the animal will de-
velop better and be less susceptible
| to disease.
Many orchards are not fruitful
! for the reason that there Is not
enough nutritive properties in the
soil to supply the requisite amount
of nourishment to enable the trees
to properly mature fruit.
A few dollars spent in improving
| fences, especially along the roadside,
will be money we'll used, for it will
not only help the appearance of the
farm and make more ready sale ii
such is desired, but it will also add to
The self respect Of the farmer and the
| farmers boys, all OF which has real

! a good way to handle manure for
garden purposes is to spread 1t in
| broad, fat piles and allow it to rot,
then apply 100 pounds of ecid phos-
| plate and 100 manure and mix this
well when you put it in a pile. This
will add to the manurial value of the
| pile and will prevent the loss of am
monia to a great extent.
