Something to Remember.

Eggs of the same color hatch best to.
gether.
Keep the incubator lamp we'll filled
and the wick trimmed. A little salt In
the lamp will often prevent smoking.
Wash your hands we'll before handling
the eggs. Grease and oil close the pores
of an egg shell.
Dust the sitting hen with good lice
powder a couple OF times before the
hatch. Repeat the process when she
matches.
A number of cheap barrels rolled to-
gether on their sides and covered with
boards or paper roofing make conven,
lent home for the stters. Place each
barrel about one.fourth full OF dirt be
fore putting the nest in. Some sort of
| front should be constructed to keep var.
mints out and the rain from blowing In
ON the hens.
Breeders should have free range to In.
sure fertile eggs. II this Is impossible,
try to supply meat scrap, green food and
grit.
Sell tho old hens as soon as they wear
their broods. They will soon 60 into
the moult and probably will not longer
pay profit. The young hens may be
kept.
One variety of poultry will pay better
than four or five. II several varieties are
kept one soon allows them to become
mixed and loses track Of the breeding
Besides flock OF one color looks much

average must be losers to the keepers.
just lately got figures from severs
creameries and then ascertained the
number of cows that contributed to The
center of manufacture and was not sur
prsed to learn that the average prodnc
ton per COW was from 156 to 184 pounds
of butter. l was not surprised because
I have been meeting the same results 10
almost every investigation made where
considerable number Of cows were con-
cerned. The man with the average COW
was not holding his own, and how did
the man with those below the average
fare?
The price of butter will never be high
enough to make 125-pound COW profit
able. The only way that cow can be oil
any use to the world is to furnish prime
extra choice beef for the hotel and res
taurant table. The farmer who keeps
and feeds her is getting poorer every
day, and so is his farm.

some of you fellows who want to be
pretty wise are doing 1t; in fact, care
not how wise you are, If you have not
kept an account with your cows with
scale and pencil, you are feeding some
"robber cows"
Why men should persist in such. work
may seem mystery to some, but 1t Is
quite natural. The man is in rut and
it is easier to run along in the rut than
to turn out on unused and unworn
ground. 1t takes nerve to be laughed al
and be given the guffaw, and that is
what always happens to the man who
turns out Of the rut In word, thought
and action. But had no one tried new

would still be dwelling in caves and
