To Digest After Farm Work Is Done
CULLING THE FLOCK.
Discard All Ewes With Broken Mouths

and the Inferior Lambs.
Once a year l go Eel my sheep,
culling out the individuals that are not
up to my standard, says a New York
farmer In the American Agriculturist.
All ewes that have broken mouths are
discarded. II examine also the udders
and teats, and If any have spoiled in
any way because of accident these are
let go also. / know, too, what ewes
are good producers and what ones are
not. Any man who spends time with
his flock from the time the lambs be-
gin to come until they are weaned has
n pretty good notion of the good and
the bad in that flock.
The only person qualified to do the
culling is the mar who works with the
sheep. Rather late In the fall my
lamb crop is gone over just as carefully
as the ewes. I aim 70 keep out each
year the best eve lambs for the fur

At one time the famous author Rud-
yard Kipling always used to pay his
bills, no matter how small they hap
pened to be. by check. After awhile
he discovered, TO his amazement, that
his. banking account showed a much
bigger balance than the counterfoils OF
his check book warranted. In fact. al
though he was drawing checks for
small amounts almost daily, his money
at the bank did not seem to dwindle
In the least.
For a long time he was at a loss to
account for this astonishing fact until

maturing their bodies. One goes with
the other to a certain extent, yet u
pullet may grow a large body and not
mature in condition to lay. The care
at this time may also affect the gen.
eral production of the bird. If stunted
or poorly developed she may never
make a good layer, while her chances
at the outset may have been good for
making a heavy producer.
The diet Of the growing pullet should
not be confined to grain and mill prod
ucts. Phosphoric acid and lime are
elements which are necessary for her
full development. These are con-
tanned in meat scrap, fish scrap and
ground bone in considerable quantities.
There are other earth or cell salts
which are necessary in order that she
may fully digest her food and use 1t
to the best advantage. These are
found in green feed to a larger extent
than In grain and many Of them In
milk and blood meal. A little blood
meal In addition to the animal food is
a great help to a maturing pullet.
Common salt is also necessary. We
find more of this in the body of the
pullet than any other mineral except
Of lime, so the ration should
be slightly sailed Three pounds to the
hundred pounds of dry mash are about
the correct quantity.

ADVANTAGES OF sILos.
Good SiIage Is the Best Meat and Milk
Producing Roushage Known.

Good SiIa9e Ie the 6eSt Meat anu WIN
Producing Roushase Known.
On account of the backward season
there will be q large amount OF soft
corn unless the present damp summer
is followed by an unusually warm fall.
Soft corn means a very serious loss to
the farmer who depends on corn for
his cash crop. To the dairy farmer
the loss is not great provided he has q
silo. Corn that is overtaken by frost
when in the milk stage will make a
fairly good quality Of silage If it is put
into the silo at once.
This, according to w. E. Marley of
the College Of Agriculture Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, is the pressing
reason for a silo on every farm this
year. Several other silo reasons, how
ever, are enumerated by Mr.. Marley.
The silo furnishes s%ucculent, palata-
BILE feed of uniform quality that is al
ways near at hand. In addition to
high food value silage supplies succu-
lence, which makes 1t easily digestible
and keeps the systems of the cows
toned up. This tends to provide June
conditions in the dairy in January and
results In a full milk flow.
The silo preserves the corn crop with
the minimum amount of loss, as the
entire plant is made fit for food. 1t
Increases the number of cows that can
tie kept on a given number of acres.
This has been estimated at double the
number possible without a silo.
1t economies space, time and build
ing costs in storage. The entire crop
can be stored in a short time at a
relatively low labor cost in about one
third of the space required to store an
equal amount of food value In the
form of hay.
Silage makes the most economical,
convenient feed for experimenting
short pastures during a period of
drought. A silo equalizes the supply
of feed by carrying it over in good
condition from one year to another.
Cases are on record where silage has
kept in perfect condition for several
years.
A silo can be used for ensiling clover
or alfalfa during a spell of wet wealth
er when 1t would be impossible to cure
1t for hay.

Regular Work In Harness Increases

Regular Work In Harness Increases
Their Potency as Sires.
Observations made by the New
Jersey station show that in the case
of the stations owned by the state
by far the largest percentage of mares
were settled by those stations that
were given regular work and daily
exercise and that colts resulting from
such mating evidenced more vigor and
vitality, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
That the draft stallion should not be
confined in a box stall is generally adj
mitted by successful horsemen, and
certainly such animals are % ca
pable of doing a full days work than
the breeding mare during the latter
stage of her pregnancy. Fat makes a
nice color, and idleness is conducive
even to a greater ~pretentious condition,
but the stallion that is worked every
day and able to do a days work In
the harness has by far the best chance
OF string useful and marketable foals.
Perhaps the greatest drawback to
successful breeding in the east is the
fact that the colts during the first

Every bird In your flock should be
made to pay its way and give a sub
stantial profit besides. If u hen fails
to lay a sufficient number Of eggs to
make it profitable dress her for mar
ket. BY keeping close watch of the
birds in this way you will in time weed
out all of the Improbable birds and
have nothing but the payers. 1t is not
a good plan to have a mixed flock of
birds, some good layers and some poor.
The good layers have to pay for the
keep of the poor layers as well as for
their own, and just there is where the
profit goes.

RoTTINo CLOVER IN FIELD :


1t is a common practice for
farmers who grow clover for seed
to allow the clover to rot for sew
eral weeks after cutting before
they stack 1t or draw it to the
barn. Sometimes red clover cut
early is allowed to lie In the
swaths or windows for six or
eight weeks, exposed to all kinds
Of climatic conditions. Clover .
stacks that are poorly construct
ed or unprotected frequently be-
come wet and musty. Sometimes
in wet portions Of the stack the
clover will even become black
and largely decompose before the
seed is hauled. The result of this
exposure Is seen in the swelling
and sometimes termination Of
those seeds which are not pro-
tected by hard seed coats. Even
If the seeds do not terminate. IL
once they have become thorough
ly swollen, even though subse-
quently dried. they are of no val
ne. Seeds should be thoroughly
dried in the head when cut. II

A writer in an exchange prescribes
the following method for testing oil

small dish and pour over 1t a quart of
boiling water. Cover 1t and let 1t
stand for a few hours. If the contents
present a thick, jeIly-like mass the meal
is all right; If 1t stiIl remains as water

thing is wrong. The meal has been

for Kipling's checks by selling them to
autograph hunters than they could by
cashing them at the bank. and thus 1t
