The feeder should not rush up to the
steers, soaring them, but should, rath
er, approach the cattle with the great
est care and consideration, getting
them up as quietly as possible. Pas
lures for cattle in quiet, secluded
places are more valuable for fattening
cattle than are those adjacent to pub
lie roads or adjoining pastures where
horses or breeding cattle are kept.
Cattle soon respond to kind treatment
and will feed better and make more
rapid and economical gains.
AS to the number of cattle that
should be run together in the same
feed lot, it is customary to run them
in droves of 100. There is no doubt,
however, that except for convenience
in caring for the cattle, smaller droves
would be advisable, but they should be
at least carefully asserted as to age
and weight.
The best method of watering is to
keep water before them at all times.
If one is to follow mature, this is the
ideal system, as undoubtedly an ami
mails thirst is it's guide as to when it
requires water. In whatever way wa
ter is supplied, it is important that
they receive water whenever they
need it, and before any suffering from
thirst is experienced. A system that
does this with the least labor will be
satisfactory. If cattle are warm, they
should not be allowed water, as it will
cause securing.

A GOOD CHANGE.
A Change of Food Works Wonders

Wrong food and drink cause lot of
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is i'll, particu-
larly from stomach and nervous trou-
bles, AS an illustration: A lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until / was i'll
most of the time. About four years
ago I left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but l was so re-
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then 1 changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. / lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day l gained in flesh and strength un-
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. / feel that owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled, for long
time, with occasional cramps and
slept badly. Finally prevailed upon
him to leave off coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
a few days he found that he could
sleep and that bis cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereai-the original form
must be well boiled. 15c and Csc
packages.
Instant Postun-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in cup Of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
q delicious beverage instantly. 30c
and Soc tins.
Both kinds are equally delicious and
cost about the same per cup.

MANY ADVANTAGES
OF WINTER DAIRY
Observing and Careful Dairymen
Have Cows Bred to Drop
Their Calves in Fall.

In many sections most of the COWS
freshen in the spring. The more OBJ
serving and careful dairymen, how
ever, having found that winter dairy
ing has many advantages, are breed
ing their cows to drop the calves in
the fall. The following are some OF
the advantages of winter dairying:
First, higher prices are obtained for
milk and cream. AS the usual season
for cows to freshen is the spring, milk
has always been plentiful during the
early summer and scarce and higher
during the winter.
Second, milk and cream can be han
died in cold weather with less danger
of souring, so there is little loss on
account of milk returned from the
creamery.
Third. the amount of labor on the
farm is better distributed throughout
the year. If the cows freshen in the
spring, they are in full flow of milk

Easily Constructed Breeding Crate.

A description and illustration is
given herewith of breeding crate
described in Farmers Bulletin No.
EOS, issued by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
The best size is six feet long, two
feet four inches wide and two and one
half feet high. 1t is made of two by
four inch scantling, closed in front and
open behind. On each side nail a
two by four inch strip, reaching from
the bottom at the rear end to a point
about IA or 16 inches from the
top at the front end for the boar to
rest his feet on.
The holes in the side cleats are for
an iron rod to run through, just be-
hind the sow's hook joints. The cut
shows the bottom boards put in
lengthwise.
If put in lengthwise, the boar will
not slip so much.
Light Stats nailed crosswise will pre-
vent slipping.

and need the best care when work in
the fields is most pressing.
Fourth, the lactation period is
heightened and the amount of milk
given during the year increased. Cows
that freshen in the spring milk heav-
lily while grass is good, but as the pas
lures dry up the flow of milk falls off
and with the approach of winter the
cows are nearly dry.
Fifth, fall calves can be raised bet
ter than those born in the spring,
Young calves should be fed on milk
for several months, after which they
must be weaned and fed on solid food.
If they are born in the spring, they
will be tormented by flies all summer,
they may be neglected because of the
farm work, and when it is time to
wean them they must be put on dry
winter ration.
AS more milk can be produced, high.
er prices obtained, the labor more
evenly distributed throughout the year,
and better calves raised, winter dairy,
ing offers the best returns to pro
ducers.

HORSE is A COSTLY
ITEM OF EQUIPMENT
Apparent That Average Farmer
Is Giving Close to As Acres
of Land to Each Animal.

By FRANCIS w. PECK, Minnesota Elk
pertinent Station.)
Statistics on number of farms IN
icate that the horse is costly item
of equipment on the farm.
Assuming average state yields OF
grain and hay for the last five years
and considering the amount of feed
fed annually to horse it is apparent
that the average farmer is giving close
to As acres of his best land to each
work horse.
This is besides the straw consumed
and the pasture, which also may be
very productive land.
Be sure the horse is giving you back
an equivalent in productive work on a
sufficient acreage.
