INDIVIDUALITY OF cow
Many Dairymen Neglect to Keep
Proper Records.
Sensible Way to Judge Animals Per-
Torrance is on Her Total Yield for
the Season, Not by Any One
Test or Weight

1t is still possible to find dairymen
who never dig deeper thap the sur
face knowledge of the whole herd
giving so much milk, counting simply
the total weight sent to the factory
one day, or per month, or again sim
ply the average yield per cow for the
factory season.
A plain fact that cannot be i'm
pressed too strongly is that COWS
have individuality; people have per-
sonality. What makes two COWS
yield quite different weights of milk
and fat when all conditions are prac-
tically equal? Even supposing a
COWS interior economy were made
visible and luminous, has any man
the requisite knowledge to fathom all
the mysteries of milk manufacture i?
We do know this, the yield of milk
and its percentage of fat are apt to
vary from day to day most strangely.

DEPTH FOR COVERING SEEDS
Quarter or Half an Inch Is Quite Suf.
ficient for Onions, Lima Beans
and like Plants.

Too much stress cannot be laid up
on covering seed properly. We are
very apt to cover too deeply. AS a
general rule the smaller the seed, the
lighter should be the cover. Onions,
squashes, parsnips and lima beans, or
such plants that push up the shells
of the seed itself, find it difficult to
force their way through very great
depth of earth after it is packed down
by rains A quarter or half an inch
at most is quite sufficient covering
for these seeds. Care should be exer-
cised to see that Jumps of earth are
not left over them
When we plant beets, carrots, pars-
nips, etc, we always like to have long
rows, and do not believe in wasting
space in useless paths and walks, with
short rows running crosswise. 1t is
much easier to keep long rows clean,
than short ones, and the labor in car
ing for long rows is much less than
that needed for short ones.

SELECTING SITE FOR GARDEN
II Possible Locate Vegetable Patch on
slipping Ground-PIow Soil Fully
Six Inches Deep.

1t is much better to have the fruit
garden separate from the vegetable
garden, if one is able to do so, If
for no other reason than the trees
and bushes are liable to be broken
in cultivating among the garden
crops.
Locate the vegetable garden, if pos
sible, on sloping ground, fully ex-
posed to the sun. A warm, wet
sheltered location may be planted
early in the spring. The early vege-
tables always bring the most money.
For small family, one-half acre,
properly MANFRED and cultivated, will
furnish a full supply of vegetables.
Plant crops the full length of the
garden; for horse cultivation the rows
should be marked off three feet apart;
for hand culture with garden pillow,
run the rows Is to 20 feet apart.
Have the ground deeply plowed
fully six inches deep. Pillow as soon
as the ground is dry enough to crum-

FIRST MEAL FOR THE CHICKS
Don't Feed Little Fellows Until They
Are Forty Hours oid-Encour-
age Them to Scratch.

Chicks Matched with hens should be
fed as incubator chicks until they are
on range; l. e., first meal of bread
squeezed out of sweet milk; first three
weeks, rolled oats, bread crumbs and
hard-boiled eggs, mixed shells and all;
wheat boiled in milk, curds, or any
other convenient food suitable for
chicks. Feed on clean boards, and
give green food. When on range,
make sure that the chicks are getting
sufficient amount to eat. The cheap
est way is to pen the hen, let the
chicks run, and feed them outside the
coop.
Chick feed is too expensive for hen
feed. We do not like to give hard and
fast rules about feeding chicks, lest
we put in the ration something which
is not at hand. Preparing a ration for
chicks is like preparing meal-a
balanced meal that will promote
growth and health may be prepared in
any number of different combinations.
The main thing is, don't feed before
the chick is forty hours old. Don't
leave food which will sour before
them.
After they are trained to eat, scat
ter cracked grains or rolled oats in
clover leaves, to coax them to scratch,
and feed them in such way that they
are not robbed by the old hens. Mash
feeds fatten quicker. Alternate
cracked corn and. ground mashas for
market birds after six weeks. Make
breeding birds scratch for all they
get. Milk is always good
Egg shells sometimes become too
hard to hatch easily. When such is
the case, cover them with a flannel
cloth wrung out of hot water, if they
are in the incubator, beginning at the
fifteenth day. If under the hen, dip
them in warm water.

SOME GOOD INCUBATOR AIDS
ting into Machine to Keep Tenn
perature at Right Degree.

To warm the eggs before putting
them in the machine keeps the tenn
perature even, and to place cold eggs
into 1t lowers the temperature.
1t is necessary to make use of the
dampening tray If the weather is dry
or If the place is dry where the incu-
bator is kept.
On the other hand, if the machine is
placed in a damp atmosphere. the
dampening tray must not be filled.
If the chicken is too wet on leaving
the shell, there has been an excess of
moisture, and if the toughness of the
membrane inside the shell prevents
the chicken leaving easily, there has
not been enough moisture.

The first half of the milk drawn may
not contain more than half as much
fat as the latter half; the COW may
have some slight sickness; some of
her delicate nervous functions may
be deranged temporarily; extremes
of weather, undue exposure, excite
ment, may all influence the yield of
milk and the test. Hence it is clear
that the sensible way to judge a
cows performance is not by any one
test or weight, but rather on her
total yield for the season. A cold,
matter-of-fact average does not
give necessary information. Cows
have individuality, which is worth
studying so that they may repay their
owners for intelligent handling.

Cheap Food for Pics.

Pasture is one of the cheapest foods
for young pigs and can be easily
grown. Begin early in the spring by
blowing deep, making a perfect seed
bed, then drill to rye and cultivate
with the harrow as soon as it is few
inches high. With the addition Of a
little grain, the pigs will do we'll on

than there was on its deck. He told
the truth.
Only one boat was swung out on its
davits by the crew of the Philadel-
phia; it could not have held by any
chance more than dozen or fifteen
people; it was swung out long time
before the war zone was reached.
Why? No one knew. It is as much
of puzzle today as it was the day that
the crew swung the lifeboat over the
water.
1t has been said of other voyages
that passengers on ships passing
through the Irish sea at night did not
go to bed, or if they did, they turned
in with their clothes on. There was
only one passenger on the American
liner who stayed up all night through
the Irish sea. and he was jolly, old
retired naval officer who had served
his time and who could not get over
the habit of staying on watch. This
old chap must be seventy-fve years
old. but he showed up at the breakfast
table shining, roster and more gen.
orally wide-awake than any compan-
ion passenger.
The night before the Irish sea was
entered an Englishman who was play
ing bridge and side talking about the
matter of stewards tips said:

tip will be the one waiting on Davy

from the sailing of the war-zone sea.

Friend Colcord:
In fulfillment of my promise to you,
before leaving home, l write you a
few items of our trip to this place, and
also to request the Independent be for
warded to me at general delivery.

fences | ever addressed. Through the
kindness of friends with whom we
were staying, we enjoyed several trips
through the. adjoining country, land
being around 5000 per acre, and !
could not help thinking how much bet
ter returns could have been made on
the same capital in Dakota lands, and
| was told the crops have been poor
for three years past. One thing was
very noticeable, the horses as a rule
were exceedingly poor and lacked the
breed and action of our northern
stock. Cattle, however, were very
good, and all l talked to, admitted that
dairying and fat cattle brought the
best returns. | saw several very large
orchards, but was told in order to get
returns, they had to be sprayed con-
! stantly.
A short ride from Kansas City
brought us to Fort Scott, where we
were welcomed at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. LeSueur, with whom we stayed
two days. Arthur seems to have
found congenial surroundings, in
which to expend his energy, being
dean of the department of law, at the
Peoples College at that place, and Ed
ltor of the College News. We were
shown around the town by Attorney
Sheppard, very courteous and pleas
and gentleman, of state wide promi-
hence, a large property holder, and
one of the promoters of the Socialistic
settlement they hope to establish here,
having taken preliminary steps to-

would act differently, those very kind
