DIFFERENT C0W-FEED RULES
No Two Cows With BIO Eeeords Ever
Received Same Ratlops-Proper
Balance 10 Most Desired.
ny wALrrR D. LEuTzl

To a great extent each COW is a law
unto herself so far as the most de-
sirable grain for her to receive is con.
cerned. and II is as difficult to give
instructions for feeding q COW for high
production as II is to give exact In
structions for driving two-minute
race horse.
So far as we know no two cows that
have made large records and have
been developed by different men ever
received the same ration. and we
doubt II any two developed by the
same man have ever received exactly
the same feed. The success OF feed
er depends upon his ability TO main.
tain a proper balance between the
feeds that are rich in carbohydrates
and those that are rich in protein.
Other conditions also have to have
very careful attention. so II is abso-
lutely impossible TO lay down any fixed
rules for feeding.
The secret OF success Is TO large
extent the ability TO see trouble be-
fore you are into II, and thus be able
TO avoid bad results. Good horse.
sense and love for the work count for
more than anything else.

TAME HENS LAY MOST EGGS
Poultry Keeper Must Be on Good
Terms With Members Of His Flock
Make Friends With Chicks.

When q man says his hens don't
lay or pay. or both, little observa-
tion will usually disclose the fact that
his hens are too shy and nervous to
stay on the nest long enough to lay
an egg. Have you ever watched the
successful poultry keeper, the one who

his fowls run after him whenever he
has occasion to enter the poultry
yard? The best results cannot be OBJ
tanned from hens that are wild and
shy. The poultry keeper must be on
good terms with his hens or his hens
won't lay as they should. A hen that
is so wild that she will fly of the nest
or roost whenever anyone enters the
poultry house cannot be a good layer.
She is in a continual nervous state for
fear someone will come within sight
OF her and hasn't time TO think Of
laying eggs.
But there is another disadvantage

by manure, by manure and feathers,

BASKETS FOR THE vERANDA
Hanging Blossoms or Clusters Of
Green May Be Employed 60 Beau
tify Front Of House.

Have you ever tried to have hanging
baskets OF greenery and flowers on
the veranda or in the summer living
room? They are charming and they
are not very difficult to keep in order.
II the flowers do die they can be re-
plenished with new ones, so that you
can always keep hanging bit of love-
illness in sight.
First as to the choice OF baskets.
A porous sort is best. and perhaps the
wire ones are best OF all. Line the
basket with moss.
AS for the soil. a mixture OF leaf
mold and wood loan or rich garden
loan is good. This soil must be en-
riched with fertilizer dissolved from
time to time in the water with which
II is moistened. The best way to water
these baskets is to sink them in a
tub OF water and leave them there
until they are wet through. II the
vines and leaves hang in the water
suspend them from a peg or bar above
the tub
Hang the basket where II will not
be constantly subjected to wind. which
dries out the soil, and don't let 1t have
much sunlight-just enough to keep
the soil sweet.
When the soil appears to have lost
some of its richness place some ma
nure In the water in which the basket
is immersed several hours before the
watering time. Or use a little bone
meal-not too much-for a too-strong
fertilizer might burn the roots and
foliage. You will have to experiment
a little about the amount and kind OF
enriching to do.
AS for the plants to have. any kind
OF ivy ought TO thrive in basket and
its lovely green makes 1t especially de.
sirable. Dusty miller and wandering
Jew are two reliable plants that will
thrive under almost any conditions.
and they make a charming background
for Towering plants. Oxalis makes a
pretty Towering plant to put In the
basket, and ivy geranium is another.
Any kind Of geranium can be used, and
fuchsias and strawberries are also sat.
isfactory for the boxes. Ferns Of vari.
Gus sorts can be used.
There is a new self-watering lion
hanging basket, which needs watering
only once a week and which does not
drip, as II must be admitted the wire
baskets do. OF course, this iron bas.
ket could be placed in Japanese
wicker haSket ~ the iron did not har.
monize with its surroundings.

METHOD FOR COOLING CREAM
Task Should Re Performed at Once
After Separation-Good Plan to
Place Can In Cold Water.
dBy PROF. c. LARsENJ

Cool the cream az once after separa.
tion. This can be done by placing the
cream can in a tank OF fresh. cold
water. A good plan is to have the
water used for stock run through this
milk cooler before II reaches the gen
eral stock water tank This method
cools the cream during all seasons.
and in addition II prevents freezing
during the winter Do not put the
can cover on tightly A loose cover
allows the animal odor to pass on.
and at the same time prevents the
dust from getting into the cream.
Never allow freshly skinned warm
cream to be mixed with the previous
ly skinned cold cream until the for.
mer has been well cooled The warm
cream causes the germs to develop,
and they sour and spoil the cream.

TREATING SHEEP FOR WORMS
Lambs Are More Susceptible Than
Older AnImaIs-Give Dose Of
Gasoline and EPSON Salts.

The stomach worm is the worst
pest affecting sheep. Lambs are
more susceptible than older sheep,
probably because the older sheep are
accustomed to the presence OF the
worm. In the spring, soon after lamb
ing. the old sheep should each receive
dose Of one to two ounces gasoline,
followed by small dose Of EPSON
salts. After day or two they should
be placed in worm-free pasture, IL
possible.
In July treat the whole herd, in
Guiding the lambs. with gasoline, and
turn them into new pasture, and re-
peat the process in November. Pas
ture rotation, combined with drugs
that are injurious to the worms. is a
practical method of successfully COM
batting this worm.

THREE VARIETIES OF BREAD
Each Has Its Distinct Value, and the
Point Is One For Individual
Consideration.

1t is well to know something of the
differences of the three varieties of
bread-white, wholemeal and brown
TO aid the matter OF choice IN individ.
ual cases. White bread is made of the
inside of the wheat; 1t is practically
all starch, with small amount of pro-
teid, much of that contained in the
grain being removed in the outer shell
White bread is, therefore, less valu-
able for building up the body and
system, but at the same time is the
most digestible of the three varieties
Wholemeal bread, in contradistinc-
tion, contains the whole grain, after
the hosk mas been removed; 1t is
thevetosa richer in proteid than the
white variety, and where digestion
need net be considered may be looked
upon as the best kind for the ordinary
diet of those in normal health.
Brown bread completes the list, and
contains not only the whole grain, but
also the husk Of bran; this has no
nutritive value, but is very good in
providing sufh cheney OF bulk, o point
apt to be overlooked by those who
consider food from the scientific stand.
point and also Of real importance
where growing boys and girls are con-
cerned. The bran or husk present
also sets up healthful mechanical
irritation OF the bowels, and so is very
useful In cases OF chronic constipation,
which are also helped by the bulkiness
of the food
