A lousy hen is improbable.
Pigs must be watched for lice.
Every pig raiser should have patch
Of rape.
Don't let the weeds get start. Get
the start of the weeds.
Young pigs never have thumps
when running in pasture.
For quick results In improving the
soil sweet clover Is superior to most
other crops.
If the cream is still warm after
separating, don't put the lid on the
can down tight
Do not condemn a breed simply be-
cause few fowls do not come up to
your expectations.
To brood over things that cannot be
helped is worse than setting hen
trying 20 hatch stones.
The physical condition Of the soil
II often just as important as the sup
ply of available plantfood.
Take Off the harness, collar and all
when the horse comes in to feed
He will rest better without it.
Pigs like variety, and make much
more satisfactory and profitable
growth when this fact is kept in mind
Never very suddenly change the
young calf from whole to skim-milk
Taper 1t of gradually for at least q
week
If the SOW eats her young, she will
stop 1t Immediately If she is fed salt
pork. A small quantity is usually sui
ticient
1t takes time to build up profitable
poultry business. 1t is necessary to
work hard now to have fine flock
next season.
Hogs should always have a yard OF
their own away from the other stock
for it is always found that returns
are better In the end.
Sweet clover is adapted 20 a wide
range of soils, and while it does best
on good soils it will make satisfac-
tory growth on very poor soils.
When watering do 1t thoroughly
Don't spread little water over a
great surface Be sure to break the
crust which forms after watering.
Coarse, masculine looking pullets
never make the best layers. Select
those whose heads have a distinctly
feminine appearance and expression
Don't let your tools lie out in the
weather to rot and rust. Rust and
the effects Of the weather will do more
damage to tools than proper usage
will do.
The farmer who planted tested seed
Is likely to be the man of whom his
neighbors will say this fall: He's al
ways lucky fellow. Look at the crop
he's got
For vigorous plant growth the
ground must be we'll filed with hu.
mus; this is supplied by stable ma.
nure or thick grass and clover sod
plowed under
The time when grasshoppers can be
most successfully destroyed is in the
egg, or as young larvae, which is best
done by blowing and narrowing the
fields early in the fall.
There was never any butter that
was finer than that made by the old
time farmers wife. If farm butter
making is in danger OF becoming a
lost art it is high time that steps were
taken to prevent 1t.
The usefulness and value of horse
depend upon his early training. He
should I've handled and taught when a
colt. this will develop his intelligence
from the start and very much increase
his subsequent usefulness.
recure the best returns from
~ ~ raising II is not necessary to
sAsp them exclusive OF all other live
stock, but a small flock, just what can
conveniently be accommodated along
with other farm animals and given
the best OF care.
Hens demand some mineral matter
to form the shell of their eggs. DO
not forget the oyster shell and the
hard. sharp grit These will furnish
material for the formation of the
eggs shell and at the same time will
keep the fowls in a healthy condition.
