HEARD OVER THE FARM PHONE
Profitable Practise 70 Sell or Ship Eggs
Every Day-Pure Food Gives the
Best Flavor.

Fresh eggs are all the cry from the
folks down town these days. All
right too. We don't like to eat old,
stale eggs ourselves. For this and
other reasons it Is a fine thing TO ship
or sell every day If possible.
Down cellar is a good place to keep
the eggs If you are compelled 10 hold
them a few days. Fix up little rack
with Stats TO lay them on so the air
may circulate about them all the time.
This viii help to keep the flavor good.
There are those who claim that they
can tell what kind OF food has been
given a hen to eat, just by the taste
of the egg This is getting down to
a pretty fine point, but It is no doubt
fact that good, clean, pure feed does
give an egg better flavor than that
which is half spoiled, or entirely so.
You cannot blame your neighbor for
not keeping up his share of the line
fence If you do not keep up yours.
The woman who finds garden work
too exhaustive may transform Il into
a healthful exercise by giving 1t her
time in the early morning or twilight
hours.
II is worth while to know what your
hired man talks about when he is
alone with the boys. A good man
can do them deal Of good, and
bad one-well, you had better let him
go just as quickly as you can, be-
fore you lose your boy body and soul.
The average farmer makes a mis-
take when he breeds trotting horses
or other breeds not adapted to his
business.

MANAGEMENT OF RUNT PIGS
Excellent Practise TO Place Them IN
Pasture by Themselves to Avoid
Jostllng and crowding.
fRv w. =. puRnuEA

Some runts are naturally weaklings.
while others are the result Of injuries
or underfeeding. The poor feeder will
have more runts in his herd than the
good feeder-no question about that.
We always place ours in a lot or
field by themselves, where they will
have good pasture, and a chance to
eat their meals without being knocked
and jostled around by their larger
mates. The poor things never have
half chance when allowed to run
with the herd. and In consequence
they win never pay for the feed they
consume.
BY separating them, however, and
giving these runts some special care
they ought to return some profit.
Ground grain mixed into a thick
slop with milk. is what the runts need,
instead Of an exclusive diet OF ear
corn. Then keep them free from lice,
and provide them with warm shelter.
so that all the profit viii not be chilled

reality a new beginning with the pre-
ceding days hard work forgotten,
cleaned of the slate and the minds Of
proprietor and helpers.
One has no idea how often such a
slate will prove the many instances

on farm Of only ten acres, though at
the time they seem of trifiing account,
but later are worth recalling for some
purpose to some one who wishes data.
This kind of written record re.
freshes and proves interesting to look
over at any time; It tells of certain
amount Of labor that has been passed
over, of blunders, successes, failures
that have been entirely forgotten.
It also gives history of the help
employed, which is OF Importance in
recommending them to others.

a dry yard. Newly seeded alfalfa can
be pastured with less danger of bloat
than an old field, and the packing OF
the ground by the sheep passing over
it is frequently great benefit TO the
alfalfa.
AS a roughage for fattening sheep
alfalfa hay has no equal, and cases OF
bloat from the hay are exceedingly
rare. 1t can be fed either whole or
cut, and fed with grain. Many prefer
this method of feeding, claiming that
there is iess waste by it. In feeding
experiments nothing has been found
for roughage that equals alfalfa for
fattening sheep. In an experiment
at the Kansas station, alfalfa and
prairie hay were compared as rough
ages. In the test the grain ration was
corn and cottonseed meal for both
lots. Those receiving alfalfa hay made
an average daily gain OF 1886 pounds
per head, while the lot on prairie hay
made only .1sS pounds per head daily,
the alfalfa lot making almost twice as
great gains. The alfalfa seemed to
give the lambs better appetite and

The use OF alfalfa cannot be too

intensified and the open range grows
less each year. an acre OF alfalfa must

these stems readily.
It Is about as safe to pasture old
sheep on alfalfa as II is cattle. They.
thrive on 1t. and make excellent gains;
but sheep bloat easily and there Is
likely to be a little loss from this
source. Lambs can be pastured on
alfalfa with but little danger Of bloat,
and the way they grow on alfalfa is
a delight to the shepherd They should
never be put on the pasture, when
they are empty and hungry, and It is
always well to allow them access to
some dry feed and keep them off
the alfalfa until the dew is of; also
on damp days. A mixture OF alfalfa
