Damp litter is a breeder of disease.
Clean milk is obtained only by a
clean dairyman.
Don't overfeed the chicks. They
will become inactive and diseased.
Look sharp for the champion COW.
She may be right in your own dairy.
Tor strong, vigorous poults, mate
old turkey hens to young, vigorous
toms.
Calves will make as. good growth on
separator milk with tlaxseed as on
whole milk.
The cream should be kept at uni
form temperature and stirred at least
twice each day, thoroughly.
Whether or not man can make his
dairy pay may depend wholly upon the
attention he pays to the cows.
A mixture of cottonseed meal and
shorts, and alfalf;. hay, is a very good
feed or ration for fattening calves.
One user of milking machine says
that one of the best things about it
is that it does not swear at the cows.
A supply of salt should be always
accessible to cows, either in granu-
lated form or large pieces of rock salt.
There is no way Of determining the
profitableness of a COW except with the
Babcock test and the scales, and then
keeping records Of ths cost Of feed

Thinks Fish Can Talk.

Stephen Decatur Bridges of Verona,
Me-, who is known as the Salmon
King of the Penobscot, is positive not
only that fish have brains, but that
fish reason and form likes and dis
likes, and tell their opinions to each
other, the New York World states.
Bridges explains the disappearance
OF salmon from the Penobscot in two
ways either salmon tell other
salmon how dirty it's waters are and
how 1t is not fit for any respectable
salmon to live in," or "the fish resent
1t because at the hatchery in East
0rland they are taken from the wa
ter and stripped of their eggs"

BEAUTIEYING THE HOME
GROUNDS
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

If you want your bed of cannas or
border of caladiums to make a grand
showing from now to frost, give them
a frost-lilke covering of bonemeal; then
stir the soil, water thoroughly and
mulch with lawn clippings. Do this
toward the end of this month and be
sure to remove the fading flowers.
Copy nature by sowing seeds of
perennials as they ripen. Provide some
sort of shade for the seed bed. A
screen made of lath or one of un-
bleached muslin will answer.
The robust-growing plants viii need
some sort of support. Let the supports
be painted green or oiled to bring out
the grain of the wood and you will
find them more pleasing than rough
sticks and far more satisfactory. Drive
the stakes fast into the earth little
lower than the plants, so that they are
tnconspicuous.
The plants needing supports are such
hardy perennials as delphiniums,
giant foxglove and snapdragons. Do
not overlook giving stakes to the dah-
tias, cosmos, hydrangeas and gladi-
oil.
To maintain continuous blooming
from now until frost, few perennials
must be preserved. Make habit of
cutting flowers freely and remove all
the fading blossoms and nature will re-
ward you with lavish hand.
flor this month allow tha chrVSan-
themums to grow according to their
own will-that is, stop pinching them
back.

CHEAPER SPRAY FOR SUMMER
Fruit Growers and Gardeners See No
Profit in Using Copper SuIphate
Use Lime Sulphur.

The cost of copper sulphate is so
high this season that many fruit grow
ers and gardeners cannot see any profit
in using it as spray material, at the
same time realizing the danger of not
spraying at all. 1t has been found that
a solution of lime-sulphur solution,
diluted to to 40 is fully as effective
as bordeaux mixture, and in many or
chards it has given even better results
than the bordeaux. Many apple grow
ers will use the summer spray of lime
sulphur this year who have never used
1t before.

1t may not be advisable to grow

TROUBLE WITH ASTERS

The maggot is a deadly enemy of
the aster Look out for it and guard
against it. Work wood ashes into
the earth about the plants and remove
a little of the soil about the base of
each plant and scatter tobacco dust
literally around them.
Wood ashes are one of the best rem
edies and a change of location of the
aster bed each year is another wise
move.
The black beetle is another PEST

does ruinous work in very little

BIG VALUE OF FARM MANURE
Not Fully Appreciated Until High
Prices Of Potash and Acid Phos-

The high prices of potash and acid
phosphate at this time are causing
much concern among farmers who de-
pend upon commercial fertilizers to
supply these constituents for the sue
cessful production of their crops.
If the farmers of this country had
always fully appreciated the true
value of farm manure, and used it on
their land, the present situation would
be much less acute.

BERT CASTLES LOOKS
FOR 25 CENT COTTON
Former Bryan Man, Now New York
Cotton Broker, Makes interest
ing Talk About Cotton.

Some little time ago man from
Pearsall's News Bureau interviewed
Mr.. b. S. Castles as TO his views on the
value OF cotton. At that time Mr..
Castles expressed the strong convic-
tion that cotton would sell at 20 cents
before THANKSGIVING Day and might
go very much higher later on, possibly
touching 25 cents before sfrlng. His
2O.cent prediction has slready been
borne out by an adveTr,; Of all old
crop months to beyond that level.
Therefore Pearsall's again sought Mr..
Castles at his home and asked II he
cared to again give his views on the
subject OF the value OF cotton. We
print below Mr. Castles answer:

as to the value OF raw cotton. 1t ap-
