Groom the horses.
Save all poultry feathers.
Be regular in feeding. Feed for a
purpose.
There is dearth of good aspara-
gus in every city market.
The man who has already used the
silo will tell you whether it pays or
not.
The most important factor in rapid
herd improvement is a sire of high
dairy quality.
Improper ventilation makes more
hen houses cold and damp than rain
and zero weather
Why not mend the old harness this
winter, and spend the money making
the wife's work easier?
Why not settle on dairy farming as
a business? Then breed. and feed,
and work for better breed.
If colt has not style enough nat
urally to hold his head high, high
hangers will not make him do it.
Statistics show that the manure
from each pig is worth $12 year. You
see it will pay to save this manure.
A great deal of the sow's future USE
fulness depends upon how she is cared
for and fed until bred for her first
litter.
Let the sunshine and fresh air come
into the hen house through the win
dows instead of through cracks in the
siding.
A young, highly-bred, trotting-bred
mare has been working on a farm for
two years with an aged horse of light
er weight.
One thing no hog grower can afford
to do without is good feeding trough.
Big cracks sometimes take more than
the hogs do.
It may save time to hurry through
the milking, but 1t doesn't help the
milk flow. But the mixer should keep
steadily at his job.
The 50-pound hog is the proper prof
table weight. Get sires with heavy
bone, broad back, and deep body.
Take time in selection.
Bring your horse in cool and breath
ing easily. II he comes in hot he will
sweat in the stable and the sudden
stoppage of hard work is bad for his
feet
Pruning in the summer will have a
tendency to promote fruitfulness in
the tree, although it may have exact
ly the opposite effect unless done at
the right time.
If you will put storm windows over
the regular windows, be sure to pro-
vide openings in both for proper ven-
tilation. 1t is fearful thing to sleep
in an alright room.
Do not let the colts run down in con-
dition on bitten grass. They may
fill up, but the nourishmeut isn't there.
LOSS in the condition Of growing
colt is a most serious one
There are countless ways Of ma
king money while the young orchard
is coming into bearing, and 1t is a
problem which does not worry any
able.bodied man who has the hustle in
him.

The first spraying for the cooling
moth must be completed before the
calyx of each blossom has closed. After
that time the thoroughness Of the ap-
plication is made very much more diff
ficult.
Little leaks in farm work are what
need looking after. The big ones are
easier seen but the small ones are
often passed by, but do not forget
that many little leaks are the same as
a large leak in the end
There are cases in which medicines
may be advantageously given or ap
piled to sick fowls, but generally
speaking it is better to kill all the
sick birds and thus avoid the spread
of disease to many other birds In the
flock
There will always be horses as long
as there are men, for from time i'm
memorial man and the horse have
been inseparable companions, and the
latter will never be supplanted in the
love of the former by any gasoline
contraption.
