MILK Is a food. not beverage
Manure is valuable by-product.
1t is poor economy to stint on the
cows feed.
Clean up the garden. Remove or
burn all trash
Alfalfa contains more protein per
ton than clover or corn
There is more profit in a srunting
pig than in squealing one.
When common scours appear imme-
diately reduce the feed one-hah.
Newfoundland has for several years
steadiiy increased its agricultural pro-
y duction
Switzerland is first and Belgium
second in the interest taken in the
raising of bees.
To insure vigorous lambs careful at
tention must be given the ewes while
they are carrying the lambs.
A we'll bred steer calf made into
beef as quickly as possible, yields
fair profit on high priced land.
Inbreeding Of bees is as impractical
as inbreeding of animals, but the diff
Guilty is in controlling the drones.
Farming is simply business propo-
sition. To be successful the farmer
must run his farm on a business basis.
The raising of couple of good
h1rse or mule colts on the farm each
year does not call for an increased
investment.
Those who are feeding bundle corn
to their cattle must make arrange
ments to have hogs follow them or
the waste viii be too great.
The farmer who marketed his corn
in the hog yard and who is now mare
Keting the hogs, can look any man in
the face and tell him to go to any old
place.
A standard division of the work on
any farm should be the growth of
every crop which can help towards
the sustenance OF the stock or the
family.
Keep the manure cleaned up well
around the barn yard and carried to
the fields, putting 1t on poor spots.
You will note a big difference in crops
another year.
1t is better to SOW alfalfa late rather
than early in the spring. On well-pre
pared land not more than six pounds
OF good seed properly sown will be
called for per acre.
Dairying is good division OF agri
culture to provide a regular income
on the farm and to convert coarse
feeds into salable products where prof
it's may be made.
Autumn Ia the ideal season for hor-
ticulture, and as the farmer often has
no time to prune, spray and mulch the
trees in the spring, he Is now due TO
get busy in the orchard.

Winter feed must generate heat, and |
the colder the climate the more atten- |
