There are two factors which largely
control the economical production of
milk. One is the adaptability OF the
cows used for this purpose and de-
ponds upon her individual breed
characteristics. The other Is the
amount and kind Of food eaten. The
problem confronting the dairyman is
the production of the largest amount
OF milk and butter at the least ex-
pense. In order that this may be
realized, both the important factors
mentioned must receive careful at
tention.
In most cases the largest direct
expense is for feed. Every one ia
miliar with the prevailing, conditions
knows that large amount Of feed IL
used without producing the , results
1t should. It would be safe to say
that the average yearly milk, pro-
duction per COW could be increased
by one-half or three-fourths by fol-
lowing better methods Of feeding.
Every owner Of a. COW welcomes
the time when the animal can be
turned out to pasture. Not only Is
the labor and expense connected with
winter feeding done away with, but
each COW Is expected to give the best
results Of the year on grass, In

SOFTENING WATER.

Some hard water soaps have been
placed on the market. but lime and
soda are much cheaper for softening
laundry water. Man, we'll waters
have from 16 to IS degrees of hard
ness, while even river and lake waters
mAy have from to rs degrees. Hard
ness is usually due to the pre- -nce Of
compounds Of lime and magnesia
dissolved out of the soils and rocks.
The lime salts do most Of the damage
oy curdling the soap and preventing
it's cleansing action. The curdled
soap remains in the water, sticks to
the fbers Of the CLOTH and is very
difficult to remove by washing, even
with hot water. Water Of ten de-
grees Of hardness will prevent the
lction Of seventeen pounds Of soap
pey thousand gallons Of water. while
water Of twenty degrees Of hardness
will prevent the action Of thirty-four
pounds OF soap per thsusand gallons
Of water.

The possibilities Of the formalin
treatment for sinking smut Of wheat
were recognized in Germany In 1895.
In 1897 It was introduced into the
United States, and since then has been
tested by many Investigators. Its
effectiveness for sinking smut OF
wheat. smut Of oats and covered smut
Of barley when properly used has been
repeatedly demonstrated in these
tests, in practical results on farms
throughout the country, and in nu-
merous experiments by the writer. 1t

very effective and therefore Is strong

the three smuts mentioned.

Rats. mice and snakes are the prey
Of numerous class of birds, many Of
which are. often hunted and branded
as great destroyers of property. If it
were not for, owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with ro-

crow has his place for good as a de-
stroyer Of field mice and the farm owl
is the night Waterman who hunts

Not all hawks are useful. Those
