LESS WORK FOR HOUSEWIFE
Introduction Of Modern Engine
Thresher Takes Many Burdens
From Shoulders Of Women.

The work of the farm housewife
has been greatly lessened by the use
Of engine threshers. Formerly when
farmers went about from one farm to
another. helping each other to thresh
the grain, the farm-wife was COM
PEELED to cook for gangs of men, often
for days at a time, and with seldom
sufficient help. her lot was indeed a
hard one. Now, the owner If an en-
CINE thresher rides about the country
during the summer days making his
~threshing contracts. In the fall he or
ganizes his force and starts on his
rounds-he provides all the men nee
essary, takes along a tent, employs a
cook and relieves the farmer and his
family of all work in connection with
t%hreshing. A counting machine regis.
tiers the number of bushels turned
out, and when his work is ended he
receives the farmers check for his
services. hooks up his teams t the
traction engines and goes on to the
next field.

SUPPLEMENT- TO A PASTURE
Feeding Corn siIase Is Most Economi-
cal Method Of Supplying Feed to
Help Out Pasture.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE.)

(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE)
Green crops fed as a supplement to
pasture may be fed in the pasture or
in the barn lot but as a rule are fed
most economically in the barn. The
cows remain inside long enough at
milking time to eat their portions.
AS a rule the most economical
method of supplying feed to help out
the short pastures of midsummer and
fall is to feed corn silage. Silage will
keep in good condition for summer
feeding with no loss except on the
surface. II 1T is not needed during
the summer, it may be covered with
the new silage and kept until wanted.
Corn furnishes a larger yield of dry
matter per acre than any crop that
can be ordinarily grown for summer
feeding, and has the further advan-
tage of being on hand as early as
wanted.
1t is handles more economically also
than soiling crop since 1t Is cut all
at once and not every day as is neces-
sary with soiling crops.
1t should be remembered that 1t il
only possible to feed a bunch of cows
economically when they are fed az
individuals n not as a herd. A
too common practice, even in the
otherwise well conducted herds, is for
all animals to be fed the same amount
of grain, regardless Of the time they
have been in milk or the quantity of
milk the individual COWS are produc-
ing. Such feeding always lacks econ
omy. as the high producing COW does
not get enough, and while she may
milk very well for a time, she soon
comes down to a lower level, while
the lighter producing COW usually
gets too much feed and ~accumulates
fat.

foolish for listening to the advice OF
your mother. There is nothing wrong
with your husband, except that he Is

Douglas, you are an idiot for listening

the voice of the husband. l could feel
pique in it. He felt that in some way
he had Numbered and that the best way
to do would be to stir up some kind Of
a quarrel that he might leave the

of the fact that she was there to find
evidence against her husband, felt the
same way. Yet neither Of them knew
exactly what to do. If the husband
left the train, Mrs. Douglas was sure
that the evidence she sought was lost.

A silo will pay for itself in one year.
Be sure hat the calves are started
right.
A farmer owning six cows should
have a silo.
Be sure that the temperature of the
milk is right.
1t is not possible to grow too much
forage on a dairy farm.
A comfortable stable reduces the
cost of maintenance and increases the
flow of milk.
Feed regularly, not too much at q
time, and young calves at least four
times a day.
Nothing can be marketed on the
farm SO successfully or SO economi-
cally as butter.
The dairyman who does not keep an
individual record of his cows is not
an up-to-date dairyman.
If the NOW is nearly empty and the
feed low In the bin, don't cut down
the rations OF the COWS.
The dairy farm that is stocked to its
full capacity without being livestock
ed is a pretty safe investment.
When an animal forms a habit,
either good or bad, that habit is q
part OF its life as long as it lives.
Draining the butter well before salt
ing is one of the little things that
makes for a better quality OF product
Experiments have proven the aver
age milk COW requires about an ounce
Of salt per day. Heavy mixers should
have more.
Success doe not lie In the number
of COWS the dairyman keeps, but in
the kind he keeps and the way -
keepe them.
