USES FOR SKIM MILK
One of Best Feeds for Both
Young and Old Chickens.
Also Considered Excellent for Pigs Of
All Ases-vaIuable in Itself and
Assist In Dlgesting the
Other Foods.

Milk is one of the best foods for
both young and old chickens. The
casein, or curdy part of the milk, large
ly supplies the protein necessary for
laying hens, while for table fowl there
is nothing superior to milk for making
white, juicy, delicious flesh.
The milk may be either sour or
sweet, and may be given as a drink
or mixed with the meal, or both. Sour
skim milk or buttermilk fed to chick
ems confined to limited range keeps
them in health. The acid of the milk
supplies the lack of vegetable acid
they would obtain If running at large,
and moreover it aids digestion.
Poultry farmers living near a cream
cry gladly pay for the skim and sour
milk, which can be had at very reason
able rates.
Farm Dairying says: "Skim milk
is considered one of the best of foods
for pigs Of all ages. 1t is not only
valuable In itself, but 1t helps to digest
other foods and so makes them more
valuable. Milk makes a firm, excellent
quality of pork.
"About a gallon and a half a day
for a 100-pound pig will bring econom-
zeal results, or feeding at the ratio of
three pounds of milk to one of meal"
Mixed milk and wheat bran make
the best ration for pigs and shoats
in connection with clover and grass
pasture.
All animals like a variety of food
No one food, however good it may
be, will answer. Give a variety and
only what will be eaten with relish
Keep the feed troughs and feeding
yards clean and dry.
No rancid food should be fed. Hotel
refuse is not a healthy food.

TREATMENT OF COLLAR GALL
fannie Acid ls One of Best Remedies
Easily Applied by Rubbing
Lightly Over Collar.

Tannic acid is one OF the very best
remedies for collar gals, according to
l.. s. Backus of the Missouri college OF
agriculture. 1t can be secured from
any drug store and is easily applied by
rubbing lightly over the collar every
morning and evening IL the horse Is
working.
Collar gals usually appear either at
the top Of the neck or at the CONT Of
the shoulder where an improperly-fit-
ted collar rubs. 1t Is important that
the collar be kept clean at all times
in order that 1t may be kept from cut
ting into the neck, but special care In
keeping 1t clean Is necessary after
these gals start. %An ounce Of pre-
vention Is worth a pound Of cure."S

NEGLECT OF FARM MACHINES
Some cuItlvators and Hay Racks Are
Never oreased-keep All Wagon
Axles Well Oiled.

The olling or greasing of no machin-
cry on the farm is so neglected as are
the axles of wagons. buggies, rakes,
cultivators, etc. An oil can or box of
axle grease is not carried along with
these vehicles or implements, and be-
cause olllng is not needed every few
hours, this is neglected.
Some cultivators and hay racks are
practically never oiled or creased,
when this should be attended to after
a steady day or two Of service or the
equivalent. Nothing but close atten-
ton to wagon and buggy viii keep the
axles well oiled, as the trips Of few
miles each day soon accumulate and
get rid Of all Of the grease.

PROFITABLE FEEDING OF cow
Thorough knowledge Of Individual
Animals as Well as Of Value Of
Feeds Is Essential.

The feeding of a dairy COW should
be governed by the cows capacity to
produce milk. BY keeping a daily
record of each cows production the
skillful feeder soon finds that some
cows in the herd respond to an In
creased allowance OF feed and return
a good profit on 1t, while others are
limited In milk capacity and overfeed-
Ing them is improbable. Profitable
feeding requires a thorough knowledge
of the individual cows as well as o,
the value of feeds.

and in thousands of cases the seed is
simply selected in the spring from the
crib.
If the harvesting of seed corn, like
the feeding of the stock, came every
day, 1t would be attended to on time,
but it is nothing more or less than hu--
man that the work which comes only
occasionally or once year, as in the
case Of harvesting of seed corn, should
be put off or neglected altogether, I'm.
less there is a definite time and plan
for the work.

LIVE STOCK AIDS FERTILITY
Diversified Farming Calls for System
Of Rotation and Is Best Insur-
anee of an Income.

On farms where live stock is kept
the land is more productive than on
farms where exclusive grain farming
is followed. Where the crops are sold
on the market all of the plant food
contained in those crops is lost to the
soil. This practice will result without
fail in impoverishment of the land.
Livestock farming is diversified
farming and calls for a system of crop
rotation. 1t returns fertility to the
soil. Adds interest to the work of the
people living on the farms and finally
is the best insurance of an income.

SEVERAL RATES OF SEEDING
Ohio Experiment Station Finds Great
est Yield Of Grain Secured From
Eight Peeks to Acre.

Experiments conducted by the Ohio
experiment station during IL years
and including eight different rates Of
seeding with ten varieties OF wheat
show that eight pecks TO the acre
gives the greatest net yield Of grain.
Figures given in the stations bulle-
tin point In general to a gradual In
crease in yield from TIE use Of three
pecks to nine pecks per acre. but seed

PROPER SELECTION OF SEED
Millions Of Dollars Would Be Added
to Value Of Crop If Corn Was
Properly Stored.

If every ear of corn intended for
planting was harvested at the proper
time and properly stored and tested
before planting, millions of dollars
would be added to the value of the
next years corn crop.
While there are many who exercise
great care in the harvesting and stor-
ing of their seed corn, yet we must all
agree that the majority are extremely
careless, often depending for seed up
on the occasional good ears found
throughout the entire husking season

FARM OF RIGHT PROPORTIONS
Records Show That Farmer Either
Has Too Many Acres or Not
Enough for Successful Work.

The size of business often has much
to do toward making the farm profit
able. Farm management records show
that farms are often either too small
or too large for the most successful
farming.
There may be too few as well as too
many acres. A man may not have
enough land or he may be 'land pooS, !"
thereby rendering all his acres I'M
