HELPS FOR THE FARMERS WIFE

Every housekeeper should possess a
wooden spoon for stirring all fruits
or soups containing any acid whatever.
Never use tin spoon, as the acid will
unite with the tin. forming a poison
GUS compound.
The backs Of old kid gloves are
,lost excellent for an interlining in
holders, either for ironing or for the
stove. They give protection to the
hands without adding materially to
the bulk of the holder. Old stockings
make a pliable, soft outer covering Tor
a holder.
1t Is impossible to polish glass If
washed in water containing any trace
Of grease.
If one is inclined to bend forward
in walking, placing the hands behind
will help to stand erect.
If a turkey or chicken is rubbed
inside with a cut lemon it will make
the meat white, juicy and tender.

RAISING AND FEEDING CALVES.

It should be our aim from the time
the calf is born until it is full grown
to keep 1t in thriving and growing
condition. This. I believe, is the only
secret Of success in growing and de-
veloping profitable animals. Letting
an animal down in condition is a great
and permanent loss that no amount
Of after care and food can replace. A
something lost forever. When we
neglect to keep these young animals
thriving. not only is the food wasted,
but waste Of time is involved; be-
sides 1t takes us considerable time to
overcome the unthrifty habit
We should do everything to build
up strong and vigorous constitution
and a healthy frame during the first
year of the calf's life. for unless this
Is being done we are doing precisely
the other thing. There is no middle
course or stand-still course in growing
a calf. At the end of two years proper
and progressive feeding and manage
ment we will be rewarded with an
animal possessing strong, healthy
appearance with a we'll developed
frame: it's bones will be covered with
an abundance Of flesh and fat and it's
skin will be soft and mellow and its
hair glossy and fine.
Imagine a condition exactly the
opposite and you will see the result
Of exactly the opposite line of care
and feeding. When the calves are
playful it may be taken as a sure
indication that they are healthy and
thriving and when they appear life
less it may be taken as sure indi-
cation that something is wrong with
them.
There is no more certain rule to
follow in judging a calf's health than
to note if it is playful and contented.

THE BRAIN MUST BE WORKED
TOO.

A dairyman with poor herd re-
ceives quite large check at the en-,
of the month and he may fail t,
distinguish between receipts and ne
profit. This delusion has been thu
cause Of many failure.
All over this country are individua
dairymen whose success Is noticeable
One dairyman lost a 120-acre farm
keeping 20 COWS that produced tw,
to four cans Of milk per day, hirini
two men.
His successor on the same farm
hired three men, kept SO cows an;
produced 80 cans of milk per day dur
ing the flush of the season, ont
months return being $40. This Is al
example Of brain fertility and not sol
fertility.

Potatoes partly eaten by meadow mics

A band of sheep have been importe,
by the United States bureau of ami
NAL industry, from the Islands o
Barbados, for the purpose of tryinl
to produce more Christmas lambs Il
the future. These sheep are the mos
prolific breeders known but are no
very good for mutton. neither hav
they a wool coat, having hair coverinis

Stock Feeding

An oversupply of roughage in racks
or managers means not only waste
of feed, but there is greater danger
of the animals overlooking and
seriously impairing their digestive
systems.
It takes more feed for stock out in
the open weather than In shelter,
since they must consume a sufficient
quantity to maintain normal flesh and

J. G.. Buxton, Of Redondo Beach,
Cal, desired to prove that good wheat
could be grown in beach sand and the
result Of his experiment was sixty four
four-inch heads of wheat produced
from one root. The sand was treated
in no unusual way and the wheat
planted in it was grown without wa
ter, fertilizer or cultivation.

Poultry Pointers

For poultry FOOD peameal will be
found nutritious, rice easily digested,
|linseed meal carthartic, potato starch
digestible, barley nutritious but laxa-
tive and oatmeal more nutritious than
either wheat or barley. There is fully
s u per cent Of fat in oatmeal. Corn
contains from seven to eight per cent
Of yellow fat.
If poultrymen would worry less
about ventilation and pay more atten-
ton to cleanliness, there would be
fewer losses. Ventilation is needed,
and If the houses are built on the
scratching-shed order all will be sup
piled that is needed. But If the filth
IS allowed to accumulate in a hen
house all the ventilation that a
scratching shed will afford could not
prevent the entrance Of disease.
The critical period of the turkey is
the first eight weeks of it's life About
4s eggs is the average yearly record

If you are depending on the pullets
for winter eggs you will gain by shut
ting these pullets away from the other
f" wis and feeding any extra rich
ration you may have to spare for
them. Hens that lay all winter show
up spring eggs as largely infertile
and ut one wants pullets from the
winter layers because like begets like.
Hens that have rested the winter
through and have been Injured to cold,
coming off hardy and we'll. will show

Raising Ducks

We have secured the best results
by allowing our hens to mother the
ducklings. but the eggs should be

about once in four days when the
hen is absent from the nest. When
the eggs are placed under the duck
1t is not essential that they be
sprinkled or dipped in water.
